Our Take
Insulet exited the second quarter of 2022 with better-than-expected revenues. The company’s performance benefitted from record quarterly U.S. and Total Omnipod new customer starts. The full market release of the Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System (Omnipod 5) in the United States instills optimism. The favorable study results backing the safety and efficacy of Omnipod 5 for type 1 diabetes are encouraging. The latest introduction of the Omnipod DASH in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia markets seems promising as well. The raised sales guidance for 2022 is indicative of this growth momentum continuing.
However, the substantial fall in Drug Delivery sales is discouraging. Contraction in gross margin does not bode well. The company incurred an operating loss in the quarter, raising apprehension. Supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures continue to challenge business operations.
