Key Financial Metrics (Six Months Ended June 30, 2025)

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Net sales increased 46% year-over-year (YoY) to $40.9 million, driven by a 42% increase in single-use product sales and a growing installed base.
• Channel Mix Shift: Sales through the Pharmacy Benefit Plan (PBP) channel increased to 21% of net sales (from 6% in the prior year), while Durable Medical Equipment (DME) sales decreased to 79%. This shift initially impacts gross margin due to lower upfront revenue recognition in the PBP channel.
• Expense Increases: Operating expenses rose 64% YoY to $60.0 million. Sales and marketing expenses increased 74% due to headcount expansion, and R&D expenses increased 39% due to development of the bihormonal configuration and patch pump.
• Warrant Liability: The company recognized a $12.5 million expense related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities prior to their conversion into common stock upon the IPO. This non-cash item significantly impacted the net loss for the period.
• Liquidity: Total cash and investments increased significantly from $103.6 million at year-end 2024 to $280.9 million, primarily due to IPO proceeds.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Capital Runway: Management believes existing cash, investments, and product revenue will fund operations through the first half of 2028.
• Product Development: The company is advancing a bihormonal configuration (insulin and glucagon) and a patch pump. A PK-PD trial for the glucagon candidate is ongoing in Canada, with full results expected in the second half of 2025.
• Regulatory Risks: The iLet is subject to a mandatory FDA post-market surveillance order (Section 522). The company must complete a one-year study enrolling 1,875 users by June 2027. Failure to meet safety/effectiveness criteria could result in recalls or withdrawal.
• Supply Chain: The company relies on single-source suppliers for critical components (infusion sets, cartridge connectors, pump motors). Disruptions could halt production.
• Reimbursement: Continued success depends on maintaining and expanding coverage under both DME and PBP channels. Pricing pressure and changes in healthcare policy pose risks.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Installed Base Growth: Verify the reported installed customer base of 24,085 and the rate of new patient starts (8,787 for the six months) to confirm recurring revenue potential.
• PBP Channel Economics: Monitor the long-term gross margin trajectory as the PBP channel mix increases, ensuring the shift from DME does not permanently depress margins.
• Post-Market Surveillance: Track enrollment and preliminary data from the FDA-mandated Section 522 study to assess regulatory risk.
• Single-Source Supplier Reliance: Review supply chain continuity plans for Unomedical, PMC SMART Solutions, and Maxon Precision Motors.
• Burn Rate vs. Revenue: Assess the trajectory of operating expenses relative to revenue growth to determine the timeline to profitability.
