The earnings call indicates positive sentiment with strong product development and strategic plans, including new product launches like Mobi Tubeless and Sigi. Despite some uncertainties in pricing and detailed guidance, the company demonstrates a clear path to growth with international expansion, pharmacy channel leverage, and type 2 diabetes initiatives. The anticipated gross margin improvements and focus on double-digit growth further support a positive outlook. While management avoided some specifics, the overall tone and strategic direction suggest a likely stock price increase in the near term.
Revenue $249 million, record third quarter sales, driven by ASP increases on both pumps and supplies in the U.S. as well as favorable foreign currency dynamics.
Gross Margin 54%, increased approximately 3 percentage points year-over-year and 2 percentage points compared to Q2, reflecting meaningful benefit from higher ASPs, channel benefit, and scaling reductions in Mobi costs.
U.S. Sales $176 million, marking the highest third quarter to-date and second highest quarter ever, primarily driven by pricing benefits from both DME and pharmacy channels.
International Sales $74 million, record third quarter, primarily increased year-over-year due to favorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates.
Pump Shipments (U.S.) Over 20,000, slightly down from Q2 due to the pharmacy stocking benefit recognized in Q2.
Pump Shipments (International) Just over 9,000, with true market demand showing double-digit year-over-year growth in end-user pump placements.
Operating Expenses Increased 4% year-over-year, primarily attributed to SG&A investments, including U.S. sales force expansion and costs to support direct operations in Europe.
Adjusted EBITDA Returned to positive, supported by top-line growth and cost optimization efforts.
Free Cash Flow Returned to positive, ending the quarter with $319 million in total cash and investments.

Revenue Expectations: 2025 worldwide sales are expected to reach $1 billion, with $700 million from the U.S. and $300 million internationally.

The company is also expanding its Type 2 diabetes commercial efforts, doubling the addressable market in the U.S.
Business Segment Performance: Renewals in the U.S. are expected to remain strong, with more than 70% of U.S. sales generated by recurring revenue streams. Internationally, direct market sales are expected to grow to nearly 15% of total international sales in 2026, up from less than 5% in 2025.
