TABLE OF CONTENTS
PART I
Item 1. Business
Overview
Insulet Corporation (“we” or the “Company”) is primarily engaged in the development, manufacture, and sale of its proprietary continuous insulin delivery systems for people with insulin-dependent diabetes. The Omnipod platform includes: the Omnipod® 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System (“Omnipod 5”), the Omnipod DASH® Insulin Management System (“Omnipod DASH”), and the Omnipod Insulin Management System (“Classic Omnipod”).
We also produce pods for Amgen for use in the Neulasta® Onpro® kit, a delivery system for Amgen’s Neulasta to help reduce the risk of infection after intense chemotherapy.
Market Opportunity: Management of Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic, life-threatening disease for which there is no known cure. It is caused by the body’s inability to produce or effectively utilize the hormone insulin, which prevents the body from adequately regulating blood glucose levels. Glucose, the primary source of energy for cells, must be maintained at certain concentrations in the blood in order to permit optimal cell function and health. In people with diabetes, blood glucose levels fluctuate between very high levels, a condition known as hyperglycemia, and very low levels, a condition called hypoglycemia. Hyperglycemia can lead to serious short-term complications, such as confusion, vomiting, dehydration, and loss of consciousness and long-term complications, such as blindness, kidney disease, nervous system disease, occlusive vascular diseases, stroke, cardiovascular disease, or death. Hypoglycemia can lead to confusion, loss of consciousness, or death.
Diabetes is typically classified as either type 1 or type 2:
-
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the body’s nearly complete inability to produce insulin. It is diagnosed throughout the age spectrum, with over half of newly diagnosed cases occurring in adulthood. Individuals with type 1 diabetes require daily insulin therapy to survive. We estimate that approximately 5 million people have type 1 diabetes in the countries we currently serve.
-
Type 2 diabetes, the more common form, is characterized by the body’s inability to either properly utilize insulin or produce enough insulin. Historically, type 2 diabetes has occurred in later adulthood, but its incidence is increasing among the younger population, due primarily to increasing obesity. Initially, many people with type 2 diabetes attempt to manage their diabetes with improvements in diet, exercise, and/or medications, both oral and injectable, including SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 drugs. As their diabetes advances, some individuals progress to multiple drug therapies, which often include insulin therapy. People with type 2 diabetes who take insulin either require intensive insulin therapy (typically multiple injections of insulin per day) or basal (long-acting) insulin (typically a single injection daily or weekly). We estimate that approximately 6 million people have insulin-intensive type 2 diabetes in the countries we currently serve and another 3 million people with type 2 diabetes in the United States require only long-acting insulin.
We estimate that approximately 40% of the type 1 diabetes population in the United States and 20% of the international type 1 diabetes population use insulin pump therapy. An even smaller portion of the U.S. and international insulin-intensive type 2 diabetes population and the U.S. basal only insulin type 2 population use insulin pump therapy. We believe these factors present a significant available market for our Omnipod platform globally.
Throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we refer to both type 1 diabetes and insulin-intensive type 2 diabetes as insulin-dependent diabetes.
Diabetes Management Challenges
Diabetes is often frustrating and difficult for people to manage. Blood glucose levels can be affected by the carbohydrate and fat content of meals, exercise, stress, illness, impending illness, hormonal releases, variability in insulin absorption, and changes in the effects of insulin on the body. For people with insulin-dependent diabetes, many corrections, consisting of the administration of additional insulin or ingestion of additional carbohydrates, are needed throughout the day in order to maintain blood glucose levels within normal ranges. Achieving this result can be very difficult with multiple daily injections of insulin. Individuals with diabetes attempting to control their blood glucose levels tightly to prevent the long-term complications associated with fluctuations in blood glucose levels are at greater risk for overcorrection and hypoglycemia. Additionally, the time spent managing fluctuations in blood glucose levels and the fear associated with hypoglycemia can be incredibly stressful for individuals with diabetes and their families.
Current Insulin Therapy
People with insulin-dependent diabetes need a continuous supply of insulin, known as basal insulin, for background metabolic needs. In addition to basal insulin, people with insulin-dependent diabetes require supplemental insulin, known as bolus insulin, to compensate for carbohydrates ingested during meals or snacks or for a high blood glucose level caused by other physiological reasons. There are two primary types of insulin therapy practiced today: multiple daily injection (“MDI”) therapy using syringes or insulin pens and pump therapy using insulin pumps.
MDI therapy involves injecting fast-acting insulin before meals (bolus) to lower blood glucose levels to a healthy range. MDI therapy may also require a separate injection of a long-acting (basal) insulin, to control glucose levels between meals; typically, once or twice per day. By comparison, insulin pump therapy uses only fast-acting insulin to fulfill both mealtime (bolus) and background (basal) requirements. Insulin pump therapy allows individuals to customize their bolus and basal insulin doses to meet their insulin needs throughout the day and is intended to more closely resemble the physiologic function of a healthy pancreas.
Insulin pumps perform continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and typically use a programmable device and an infusion set to administer insulin into the body. Insulin pump therapy has been shown to provide numerous advantages relative to MDI therapy. For example, insulin pump therapy eliminates individual insulin injections, delivers insulin more accurately and precisely than injections, often improves HbA1c (a common measure of blood glucose levels) over time, provides greater flexibility with meals, exercise, and daily schedules, and can reduce severe low blood glucose levels. We believe that these advantages, along with technological advancements, including the use of continuous glucose monitoring technology and automated insulin device (“AID”) algorithms, and increased awareness of insulin pump therapy, will continue to generate demand for insulin pump devices.
Our Solution: The Omnipod Platform
The Omnipod platform offers continuous insulin delivery that provides all the benefits of insulin pump therapy in a unique way without the need for external tubing required with conventional pumps. The small, lightweight, self-adhesive disposable tubeless Omnipod device (“Pod”), can be worn in multiple locations, including the abdomen, hip, back of upper arm, upper thigh, or lower back, and delivers insulin into the body through a small flexible tube (called a cannula). We refer to this as “Pod therapy.” We believe the Omnipod platform’s innovative proprietary design and differentiated features allow people with insulin-dependent diabetes to live their lives and manage their diabetes, with unprecedented freedom, comfort, convenience, and ease.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this annual report. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs, which are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
Our mission is to improve the lives of people with diabetes. We are primarily engaged in the development, manufacture, and sale of our proprietary Omnipod product platform, a continuous insulin delivery system for people with insulin-dependent diabetes. The Omnipod platform includes: the most recent generation Omnipod 5, and its predecessors Omnipod DASH and Classic Omnipod, all of which eliminate the need for multiple daily injections using syringes or insulin pens or the use of pump and tubing. Omnipod 5, which builds on our Omnipod DASH mobile platform, is a tubeless automated insulin delivery system that integrates with a CGM to manage blood sugar and is fully controlled by a compatible personal smartphone or Omnipod 5 Controller. The CGM is sold separately by third parties. Omnipod DASH features a secure Bluetooth enabled Pod that is controlled by a smartphone-like PDM with color touch screen user interface. We have been phasing-out Classic Omnipod as we launch Omnipod 5.
Our financial objective is to sustain profitable growth. To achieve this, we launched Omnipod 5 in the United States in 2022 and in the United Kingdom and Germany in June and August 2023, respectively. In June 2024, we launched our full market releases of Omnipod 5 in the Netherlands and France, and most recently, in January 2025, we announced that Omnipod 5 is now available in Italy, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Additionally, we are working on further building our international teams and advancing our regulatory, reimbursement, and market development efforts so we can bring Omnipod 5 to additional international markets.
In August 2024, we received FDA clearance for an expanded indication of Omnipod 5 for people with type 2 diabetes. Due to the positive results of our Omnipod 5 type 2 pivotal trial and the learnings from our Omnipod GO commercial pilot, we made a strategic decision to drive growth in the type 2 diabetes market with Omnipod 5 and, accordingly, decided not to move forward with the commercialization of Omnipod GO.
During 2024, we completed participant enrollment in our RADIANT study in France, the United Kingdom, and Belgium, which is our Omnipod 5 with Libre 2 randomized controlled trial. Similar to the randomized control trial that we completed in the United States and France for Omnipod 5 with DexCom’s G6 CGM, the objective is to provide data to support our pricing and market access initiatives as we roll out Omnipod 5 with multiple sensors across our international markets. We also continue to expand market access and awareness of Omnipod products through our direct to consumer advertising programs and through growing our presence in the U.S. pharmacy channel, where access to Omnipod 5 and Omnipod DASH is simpler and affordable, as no up-front investment is required.
We also continue to focus on our product development efforts, including AID offerings, such as choice of smartphone integration and CGM, and enhancing the customer experience through digital product and data capabilities. Omnipod 5 integration with Dexcom’s G6 CGM is available in every country where Omnipod 5 is available. In June 2024, we began our full market release of Omnipod 5 with Dexcom’s G7 CGM in the United States. Similarly, in June 2024 we launched our full market release of Omnipod 5 with Libre 2 Plus for individuals aged two years and older with type 1 diabetes in both the United Kingdom and Netherlands, where we offer sensor of choice (integration with either Abbott’s Libre 2 Plus or Dexcom’s G6 CGM). We also now offer sensor of choice in the United States, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Additionally, in October 2024, our Omnipod 5 app for iPhone compatible with Dexcom’s G6 CGM became fully available in the United States.
Finally, we continue to take steps to strengthen our global manufacturing capabilities. In 2024, we began producing product at our newly constructed manufacturing plant in Malaysia. This plant provides us with increased capacity to satisfy our growing demand, supports our international expansion strategy, and is expected to drive higher gross margins over time.
Results of Operations
The discussion of our results of operations for 2022 has been omitted from this Form 10-K but can be found in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2024.
Factors Affecting Operating Results
Our Pods are intended to be used continuously for up to three days, after which it may be replaced with a new disposable Pod. We recently achieved a milestone of 500,000 estimated active global customers using Omnipod products, including 365,000 global customers using Omnipod 5. The unique patented design of the Omnipod allows us to provide Pod therapy at a relatively low or no up-front investment in regions where reimbursement allows for it and our pay-as-you-go pricing model reduces the risk to third-party payors. As we grow our customer base, we expect to generate an increasing portion of our revenues through recurring sales of our disposable Pods, which provide recurring revenue.
Following our strategic decision to not move forward with the commercialization of Omnipod GO discussed above, we recorded a charge of $13.5 million related to certain inventory components that we no longer expect to utilize, which is included in our consolidated statement of income for 2024.
In 2022, we issued two voluntary Medical Device Correction (“MDC”) notices, one for our Omnipod DASH PDM related to its battery and the other for our Omnipod 5 Controller related to its charging port and cable. During 2022, we initially recorded a net charge of $57.9 million related to these MDCs and, in 2023, we recorded $11.5 million of income associated with a change in our estimated liability for the MDCs, primarily due to lower distribution costs.
Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023

(1) Constant currency revenue growth is a non-GAAP financial measure which should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. See “Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Measures.”
Total revenue increased $374.5 million, or 22.1%, to $2,071.6 million in 2024, compared with $1,697.1 million in 2023. Constant currency revenue growth of 21.9% was primarily driven by higher volume largely attributable to our growing customer base and, to a lesser extent, higher price.
U.S.
Revenue from the sale of Omnipod products in the U.S. increased $258.3 million, or 20.6%, in 2024 to $1,509.3 million, compared with $1,251.0 million in 2023. This increase primarily resulted from higher volume through the pharmacy channel driven by growing our customer base, partially offset by a decrease in estimated inventory days-on-hand at distributors and lower conversions to Omnipod 5. Inventory days-on-hand declined to more normal levels following an acceleration of orders by U.S. pharmacy wholesales in advance of the implementation of our new ERP system on January 1, 2024. We experienced a benefit from conversions to Omnipod 5 in the prior year following the launch of the product in the latter half of 2022 since users generally fill both their Omnipod 5 starter kit and their first month of refills simultaneously. Conversions to Omnipod 5 declined since the vast majority of U.S. conversions to Omnipod 5 occurred in 2023. To a lesser extent, the revenue increase was driven by a higher average selling price resulting from our annual wholesale acquisition cost increase implemented during the second quarter of 2024 and growth in the pharmacy channel.
Revenue from the sale of Omnipod products in the U.S. includes $587.8 million of related party revenue in 2024, compared with $473.7 million in 2023. The $114.1 million increase primarily resulted from growth through the pharmacy channel. Additional information regarding our related party transactions is provided in Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements.
In 2025, we expect strong U.S. revenue growth primarily driven by the benefits of our recurring revenue model and continued volume growth of Omnipod 5. Our recent type 2 indication for Omnipod 5, the launch of Omnipod 5 integrations with both Dexcom’s G7 CGM and Libre 2 Plus, and the launch our Omnipod 5 app for iPhone, are expected to contribute to an increase in our customer base.
International
Revenue from the sale of Omnipod products in our international markets increased $113.3 million, or 27.6%, in 2024 to $523.4 million, compared with $410.1 million in 2023. Excluding the 0.7% favorable impact of currency exchange, the remaining 26.9% increase in revenue was primarily due to higher volumes from the launches of Omnipod 5 in the United Kingdom and Germany in the prior year, driven by our growing customer base and the favorable impact of conversions to
Omnipod 5. A higher average selling price for Omnipod 5 compared with Omnipod DASH and Classic Omnipod also contributed to the revenue increase, although to a lesser extent.
In 2025, we expect higher International Omnipod revenue due to continued volume growth driven by new customers and conversions to Omnipod 5 primarily due to the launch of Omnipod 5 in France and the Netherlands, growth from the earlier launches in Germany and the United Kingdom, and the continued roll out of Omnipod 5 in additional markets.
Drug Delivery
Substantially all of our Drug Delivery revenue consists of sales of pods to Amgen for use in the Neulasta® Onpro® kit, a delivery system for Amgen’s Neulasta to help reduce the risk of infection after intense chemotherapy. Drug Delivery revenue increased $2.9 million, or 8.1%, to $38.9 million in 2024, compared with $36.0 million in 2023. This increase primarily resulted from an increase in orders from our partner, partially offset by a reimbursement from our partner to cover a portion of our increased production costs in the prior year, which did not repeat in the current year.
Costs and Expenses
| Years Ended December 31, | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (in millions) | Amount | Percent of Revenue | Amount | Percent of Revenue | |||||||||||||||||||
| Cost of revenue | $ | 625.9 | 30.2 | % | $ | 537.2 | 31.7 | % | |||||||||||||||
| Research and development expenses | $ | 219.6 | 10.6 | % | $ | 205.0 | 12.1 | % | |||||||||||||||
| Selling, general and administrative expenses | $ | 917.2 | 44.3 | % | $ | 734.9 | 43.3 | % |
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue for 2024 increased $88.7 million, or 16.5%, to $625.9 million, compared with $537.2 million in 2023. Gross margin was 69.8% in 2024, compared with 68.3% in 2023. The 1.5 point increase in gross margin was primarily driven by pricing benefits in both the U.S. pharmacy channel and in our international markets, improved manufacturing efficiencies, and procurement savings. These increases were partially offset by a $13.5 million charge related to certain components utilized in Omnipod GO, which we decided not to commercialize, an $11.5 million accrual reversal during the prior year associated with the voluntary MDC notices we issued in 2022, which did not recur in the current year, and higher costs due to inflation.
We expect gross margin to further increase to approximately 70.5% in 2025 primarily due to improved manufacturing efficiencies.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased $14.6 million, or 7.1%, to $219.6 million for 2024, compared with $205.0 million for 2023. Research and development expenses as a percent of revenue decreased to 10.6% in 2024, compared with 12.1% in 2023 primarily due to an increase in sustaining costs following the launch of Omnipod 5 in the United States, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. We expect research and development spending in 2025 to increase compared with 2024 as we continue to invest in advancing our innovation and clinical pipeline.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $182.3 million, or 24.8%, to $917.2 million in 2024, compared with $734.9 million in 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to year-over-year headcount additions to support our growth, international expansion and sustain Omnipod 5, and as a result of our new organizational structure. To a lesser extent, the increase was due to higher legal fees to defend our intellectual property and support our business growth; an increase in advertising expense; higher costs associated with the continued commercial rollout of Omnipod 5 in international markets; and increases in travel and expenses resulting from headcount additions.
We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in 2025 compared with 2024 due to investments in our operating structure, primarily headcount additions, particularly in the areas of customer support, sales and information technology support, to facilitate continued growth globally. We also plan to make additional investments to support the Omnipod platform and to continue support the phased launch of Omnipod 5 in our existing international markets and prepare for expansion into new countries.
Non-Operating Items
Interest Expense and Income
Interest expense increased $6.5 million to $42.7 million in 2024, compared with $36.2 million in 2023 primarily due to fees paid to amend our Term Loan. Interest income increased $10.9 million to $39.5 million in 2024, compared with $28.6 million in 2023 primarily driven by increased average cash balances and higher interest rates.
Other (Expense) Income, net
Other expense, net of $5.5 million for 2024 consists primarily of $3.8 million of loss related to fair value adjustments associated with a strategic debt investment. Other income, net of $2.2 million for 2023 consists primarily of $2.6 million of gains related to fair value adjustments associated with our strategic debt and equity investments.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax benefit was $118.1 million on pre-tax income of $300.2 million for 2024, compared with income tax expense of $8.3 million on pre-tax income of $214.6 million for 2023. Our effective tax rate was a benefit of 39.3% for 2024, compared with a provision of 3.9% for 2023. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to a $182.5 million non-cash tax benefit from the release of the majority of our valuation allowance against deferred tax assets discussed in Note 22 to our consolidated financial statements and a $8.3 million tax benefit from a research and development tax credit recovery project for the years 2017 through 2022. These tax benefits were partially offset by a $8.2 million decrease in tax benefits from employee stock-based compensation.
In 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) and G20 international forum released the Model Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) rules (“Model Rules”) under Pillar Two. These Model Rules set forth the common approach for a Global Minimum Tax at 15% for multinational enterprises with revenue greater than €750 million and is expected to be applicable to Insulet. Pillar Two has been adopted by the Council of the European Union for implementation by European Union member states by December 31, 2023, with effect for tax years beginning 2024. Similar directives under Pillar Two are already adopted or expected to be adopted by taxing authorities in other countries where Insulet has business operations, with widespread implementation of the Global Minimum Tax in 2024 and 2025. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements for 2024. While we do not expect the Pillar Two Model Rules and related legislation to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for 2025, we continue to evaluate their potential impact on future years.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures described below.
Constant currency revenue growth represents the change in revenue between current and prior year periods using the exchange rate in effect during the applicable prior year period. We present constant currency revenue growth because we believe it provides meaningful information regarding our results on a consistent and comparable basis. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure, in addition to financial measures in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate our operating results. It is also one of the performance metrics that determines management incentive compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income plus net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and other significant transactions or events, such as legal settlements, medical device corrections, gains (losses) on investments, and loss on extinguishment of debt, which affect the period-to-period comparability of our performances, as applicable. We present Adjusted EBITDA because management uses it as a supplemental measure in assessing our performance, and we believe that it is helpful to investors and other interested parties as a measure of our
comparative performance from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA is a commonly used measure in determining business value and we use it internally to report results.
Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, represents the cash that we have available to pursue opportunities that we believe enhance shareholder value and is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Management uses this non-GAAP measure, in addition to U.S. GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating results.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the above definitions may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that increase or decrease our reported results of operations; accordingly, we strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our current liquidity as further described below will be sufficient to meet our projected operating, investing and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Capitalization
The following table contains several key measures to gauge our financial condition and liquidity at the end of each year:
| As of December 31, | |||||||||||

| Debt-to-total capital ratio | 53 | % | 66 | % | |||||||
| Net debt-to-total capital ratio | 16 | % | 33 | % |
Convertible Debt
To finance our operations and global expansion, we have periodically issued convertible senior notes, which are convertible into our common stock. As of December 31, 2024, the following Convertible Senior Notes were outstanding:
| Issuance Date | Coupon | Principal Outstanding (in millions) | Due Date | Conversion Rate**(1)** | Conversion Price per Share of Common Stock | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| September 2019 | 0.375% | $ | 800.0 | September 2026 | 4.4105 | $226.73 |
(1) Per $1,000 face value of notes.
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes, we purchased capped call options (“Capped Calls”) on our common stock. By entering into the Capped Calls, we expect to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock (or, in the event the conversion is settled in cash, to provide a source of cash to settle a portion of our cash payment obligation) if at the time of conversion our stock price exceeds the conversion price under the Convertible Senior Notes. The Capped Calls have an initial strike price of $335.90 per share and cover 3.5 million shares of our common stock.
Credit Agreement
We have a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which expires in 2028. At December 31, 2024, no amount was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility contains a covenant to maintain a specified leverage ratio when there are amounts of at least 35% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Facility outstanding. It also contains other customary covenants, none of which we consider restrictive to our operations. Additionally, we have a Term Loan B (“Term Loan”), which matures in 2031, which contains covenants restricting or limiting our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make asset dispositions, create or permit liens, sell, transfer or exchange assets, guarantee certain indebtedness, and make acquisitions and other investments.
Additional information regarding our debt is provided in Notes 15 to the consolidated financial statements.

| Net increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $ | 249.2 | $ | 14.5 |
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of $430.3 million in 2024 was primarily attributable to net income, as adjusted for deferred income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and a $17.0 million working capital outflow. The working capital outflow was driven by a $32.4 million increase in inventories, a $21.9 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, and a $10.4 million increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by a $45.5 million increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities. The increase in inventories was primarily due to a planned inventory build to satisfy our growing demand and, to a lesser extent, to mitigate supply chain risk. The increase in prepaid expenses and other assets was primarily driven by an increase in prepaid software fees, cloud computing upgrade and implementation costs, prepaid income taxes, and capitalized commissions. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to an increase in sales driven by our growing customer base. Finally, the increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities was primarily driven by an increase in compensation costs due to headcount additions and an increase in professional consulting fees primarily driven by higher legal costs and direct-to-consumer spending.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $146.2 million in 2024, compared with $119.4 million in 2023.
Capital Spending—Capital expenditures were $124.9 million and $75.6 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $49.3 million increase primarily related to the purchase of machinery, equipment and tooling to increase our manufacturing capacity for our new Malaysia manufacturing facility and continuous improvements at our other owned manufacturing facility. We expect capital expenditures for 2025 to increase compared with 2024 as we continue to expand and optimize our manufacturing and supply chain operations as well as support our global expansion. We expect to fund our capital expenditures using existing cash.
*Investments in Developed Software—*Investments in developed software were $9.1 million and $8.5 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, and primarily related to investments in projects to support our cloud-based capabilities.
Investments—In 2024 and 2023, we made strategic investments in private companies in the amount of $12.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively.
Acquisitions—In 2023, we paid Bigfoot Biomedical, Inc. $25.1 million, including transaction costs, to acquire patent assets related to pump-based AID technologies. We also paid a purchase price holdback of $3.0 million associated with our 2022 acquisition of substantially all the assets related to the manufacture and production of shape-memory alloy wire assemblies used in the production of our product from Dynalloy, Inc.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $28.1 million in 2024, compared with $13.6 million in 2023.
Debt Issuance and Repayments—In 2024, we refinanced our Term Loan, which resulted in net cash proceeds of $130.0 million, net of issuance costs, and the simultaneous repayment of $132.2 million of the Term Loan. Refer to Note 15 for more information regarding this refinancing. Additionally, we made $26.4 million and $27.0 million of aggregate principal payments on our equipment financings, Term Loan, and mortgage in 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Finance Lease Payments—During 2024, we made $22.7 million in finance lease repayments associated with our Malaysia manufacturing facility, including the amount associated with exercising our option to purchase the property.
Proceeds and Repayments from Secured Borrowing—During 2024, we received $45.5 million of cash advances from a third-party to whom we outsource our insurance claim submissions process in a certain country. Additionally, we repaid $34.8 million of cash advances during 2024.
Proceeds from Exercise of Stock Options—Proceeds from option exercises were $8.2 million and $16.3 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $8.1 million decrease was primarily driven by option exercises by former executives in the prior year.
Proceeds from Shares Issued Under Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)—Proceeds from the issuance of shares under the ESPP were $11.9 million and $10.6 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Payment of Taxes for Restricted Stock Net Settlements—Payments for taxes related to net restricted and performance stock unit settlements were $7.6 million and $13.2 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $5.6 million decrease was primarily driven by a lower fair market value of the restricted and performance stock units (“PSUs”) that vested in 2024 compared to the prior year, partially offset by higher achievement of the PSUs that vested in 2024 (111% achievement), compared to in the prior year (84% achievement).
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow was $305.4 million in 2024, compared with $70.1 million in 2023. The $235.3 million increase in free cash flow primarily resulted from the $285.8 million increase in gross profit, partially offset by the $49.3 million increase in capital expenditures.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure, which should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for our reported financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” A reconciliation between net cash provided by operating activities (the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure) and free cash flow is as follows:

(1)Interest on debt and lease obligations are projected for future periods using the interest rates in effect as of December 31, 2024. Certain of these projected interest payments may differ in the future based on changes in market interest rates. Additional information regarding our leases is provided in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.
(2)Excludes the impact of the interest rate swaps discussed in Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements.
(3)Purchase obligations include commitments for the purchase of components for our products, commitments related to establishing additional manufacturing capabilities, and other commitments for purchases of goods or services in the normal course of business. These commitments are derived from purchase orders, supplier contracts and open orders based on projected demand information.
Legal Proceedings—In December 2024, a jury found that EOFlow Co., Ltd. (“EOFlow”) and several other defendants misappropriated certain of our trade secrets and awarded us $452 million in damages. EOFlow subsequently moved for a directed verdict and for a new trial, as well as for a reduction of the jury award, and we moved for a permanent worldwide injunction on the sale of EOFlow’s EOPatch 2 product and any other products that embody our trade secrets. EOFlow and other defendants may seek to appeal the verdict. Further, EOFlow may not be able to satisfy this damage award; accordingly, it has not been recorded in our consolidated statement of income. Refer to Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding this matter.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Information regarding our letters of credit is provided in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The following accounting policies are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. Management’s estimates are based on the relevant information available at the end of each period.
Pharmacy Rebates
We exercise significant judgment when we determine variable consideration adjustments. As discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, we are subject to rebates on pricing programs with managed care organizations, such as pharmacy benefit managers, governmental and third-party commercial payors, primarily in the United States. Reductions to our revenues for rebates on products sold through our distributors under pharmacy benefits are the most significant component of variable consideration. In addition, pharmacy rebates are most at risk for significant adjustment because of the time delay between the recording of the provision when revenue is recognized and its ultimate settlement, an interval that generally ranges from 30 to 90 days, but can last up to one year. Our estimates for pharmacy rebates are based on historical experience, revenue growth, distribution channel lag, contract amendments and trends. Pharmacy rebates charged against gross sales amounted to $452.7 million, $367.3 million, and $175.2 million in 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. When actual pharmacy rebate settlements differ from our estimates, we adjust our estimates, which affects reported revenue in the period that such variances become known.
Income Taxes
We estimate our income taxes based on the various jurisdictions where we conduct business. Significant judgment is required in determining our income tax provision. The calculation of our tax liabilities involves uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations and the potential for future adjustments by tax authorities. While we believe we have appropriate support for the positions taken on our tax returns, we regularly assess the potential outcomes of examinations in determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and adjust the income tax provision, income taxes payable, and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known.
Significant judgement is required in determining whether it is probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which a deferred tax asset can be utilized. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including cumulative income in recent fiscal years, our forecast of future taxable income exclusive of certain reversing temporary differences and significant risks and uncertainties related to our business. In determining future taxable income, we are responsible for assumptions utilized including the amount of state, federal and international pre-tax operating income, the reversal of certain temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income in applicable tax jurisdictions, which are based on our commercial experience to date and are consistent with the plans and estimates that we are using to manage our underlying business.
During 2024, we determined that it is more likely than not that we will realize substantially all of our net deferred tax assets after weighing positive and negative evidence to assess recoverability, including cumulative income (loss) position, revenue growth, current profitability, and expectations regarding future forecasted income. Accordingly, in 2024, we recorded a tax benefit of $182.5 million from the release of our valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2024, we have a valuation allowance of $23.9 million on certain U.S. state tax credits and state net operating loss carryforwards because it is more likely than not that those deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Significant judgment is also required to evaluate uncertain tax positions and is based on a number of factors, including changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax laws, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of audits and effective settlement of audit issues. Changes in the recognition or measurement of uncertain tax positions could result in a material increase or decrease in our income tax expense in the period in which we make the change, which could have a material impact on our effective rate and results of operations.
Accounting Standards Issued and Not Yet Adopted as of December 31, 2024
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires incremental annual income tax disclosures. The new guidance standardizes categories for the effective tax rate reconciliation and requires disaggregation of income taxes and additional income tax-related disclosures. We are required to comply with these new disclosure requirements beginning with our annual filing for 2025.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expenses Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The new guidance requires disaggregated disclosure of expenses included in
certain expense captions presented in the statements of incomes as well as additional disclosures about selling expenses. We are required to comply with these new disclosure requirements beginning with our annual filing for 2027.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20), which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. We are required to comply with the updates beginning with our interim and annual filings for 2026. The adoption of ASU 2024-04 is not expected to impact our consolidated financial statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements relating to future events or future financial performance that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates, and projections. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words or expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Certain factors, including but not limited to those identified under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K, may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations, estimates, projections, and forecasts, and from past results. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements other than as required by law.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to changes in interest rates is associated with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and our Term Loan, both of which are variable-rate debt. At December 31, 2024, no amounts were outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility. In May 2021, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert $480.0 million of our term loan borrowings from a variable rate to a fixed rate through April 2025. These interest rate swaps are intended to mitigate the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and qualify for hedge accounting treatment as cash flow hedges. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates as of December 31, 2024 would have an insignificant impact on our annual earnings.
Market Price Sensitive Instruments
As of December 31, 2024, we had outstanding debt related to our Convertible Senior Notes recorded on our consolidated balance sheet of $794.9 million, net of unamortized discount and issuance costs totaling $5.1 million. Changes in the fair value of our outstanding debt, which could be impacted by changes in interest rates, are not recorded in these consolidated financial statements as the debt is accounted for at cost less unamortized discount and issuance costs. The fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes, which was $1,018.8 million as of December 31, 2024, is also impacted by changes in our stock price.
In order to reduce potential equity dilution, in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes, we purchased Capped Calls. We expect the Capped Calls to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock (or, in the event the conversion is settled in cash, to provide a source of cash to settle a portion of our cash payment obligation) if at the time of conversion our stock price exceeds the conversion price under the Convertible Senior Notes. The Capped Calls have an upper protection price of $335.90 per share and cover 3.5 million shares of common stock.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Foreign currency risk arises from our investments in subsidiaries owned and operated in countries other than the United States. Such risk is also a result of transactions with customers in those countries. Approximately 25% of our revenue was denominated in foreign currencies for the year ended December 31, 2024. As our business in regions outside of the United States continues to increase, we will be increasingly exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to our foreign operations. The cost of revenue related to revenue generated outside of the United States is primarily denominated in U.S. dollars; however, operating costs related to these revenues are largely denominated in the same respective currencies, thereby partially limiting our transaction risk exposure. Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, British pound and Malaysian ringgit, could affect our financial results, including our revenues, revenue growth rates, gross margins, operating income, and net income as well as assets and liabilities.
At December 31, 2024, we have intercompany receivables and payables from our foreign subsidiaries that are denominated in their functional currencies, principally the Chinese yuan renminbi. Fluctuations from the beginning to the end of a reporting period result in the revaluation of our foreign currency-denominated intercompany receivables and payables, generating currency translation gains or losses.
Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions are included in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of income and amounted to a loss of $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Insulet Corporation
Opinions on the financial statements and internal control over financial reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Insulet Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and financial statement schedule included under Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
Basis for opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical audit matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 2013 (“COSO”) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (the COSO criteria). Based on our assessment, we believe that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2024.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm. Their report is included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weakness
As previously reported in Part II, Item 9A, Controls and Procedures of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2024, in connection with our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, we identified a material weakness related to ineffective information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) around systems that support the Company’s financial reporting outside of North America. Automated and manual business process controls that are dependent on the affected ITGCs were also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely affected to the extent that they rely upon information and configurations from the affected systems.
In response to the material weakness, the Company developed and implemented a remediation plan. We obtained and evaluated a service auditor’s report on the ITGCs over a system used by an outsourced service provider outside of North America. Based on those remediation actions, management has concluded that the material weakness previously reported has been remediated as of December 31, 2024. We also enhanced our security access controls over our newly implemented enterprise resource planning system.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the actions taken to remediate the material weakness described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information
