Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 4, 2026
- In June 2026, we expanded U.S. compatibility to include Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor (“Libre 3 Plus”) and announced the U.S. rollout of Omnipod 5 algorithm enhancements, including a lower target glucose setting of 100 mg/dL.
- In addition, we continue to advance the development of our fully closed-loop AID system for people with type 2 diabetes, including completion of enrollment in the EVOLVE pivotal study, which is intended to support a planned 510(k) submission in 2027.
- Our Pod is intended to be used continuously for up to three days, after which it may be replaced with a new disposable Pod.
- As we grow our customer base, we expect to generate an increasing portion of our revenues through sales of our disposable Pods, which provide a recurring revenue stream.
- We estimate total costs associated with the MDCs will be approximately $50 million, most of which we expect to incur in 2026.
- We do not expect tariffs to have a significant impact on our gross margin in 2026; however, the elimination of the current exemption for certain medical devices would have a material impact on our gross margin and results of operations in future periods.
- The increases in research and development expenses for both periods were primarily due to continued investment in our Omnipod and pipeline products, including Omnipod 6, our next-generation AID system, and a fully closed-loop AID system for type 2 diabetes, partially offset by a reduction in incentive compensation expense due to lower expected achievement of company performance targets in the current year.
- The increases for both periods were primarily attributable to higher personnel-related costs driven by increased headcount across our commercial, customer experience, regulatory, quality and other support functions, partially offset by a reduction in incentive compensation expense due to lower expected achievement of company performance targets in the current year.
- We expect net interest expense for the full year 2026 to increase to approximately $40 million, primarily due to lower interest income.
- We expect capital expenditures for 2026 to increase compared with 2025 to support our continued global manufacturing expansion plans.
- We expect to fund our capital expenditures using existing cash and financing.
- Investments in Developed Software —Investments in developed software were $13.1 million and $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and were primarily related to projects supporting our cloud-based capabilities.
