Revenues in the quarter came in at $179.6 million, up 45.3% year over year and beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.5%. The strength in the top line was driven by new customer demand and increasing renewal purchases from the company’s installed base.

International pump shipments surged 209% to 11,262 units. Domestic pump shipments jumped 10% year over year to 20,296 units.
The company believes that the surge in pump shipments resulted from continued adoption of t:slim X2 technology by both new and existing customers and more healthcare providers prescribing the t:slim X2 than ever before.
