Current report

Pump sales in the United States increased primarily due to growth in pump shipments to over 17,000 in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 15,000 in the first quarter of 2024. Sales of pump-related supplies increased as a result of volume growth, as well as an increase in average selling prices. Sales in the first quarter of 2024 were reduced by $1.1 million from sales deferrals related to Tandem Choice, for which there were no comparable adjustments in 2025.

Current report

For the first quarter of 2025, both pumps and pump-related supply sales increased due to a year-over-year increase in volumes, with pump shipments growing to over 11,000 pumps for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 10,000 in the first quarter of 2024.

Current report

Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $239.3 million, compared to $136.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The $102.9 million increase was primarily driven by a $75.2 million charge to IPR&D in connection with the revised AMF purchase agreement (see Note 12, “Acquisitions”), as well as costs related to operating lease impairment and restructuring charges related to relocation of certain research and development activities and sales force expansion.

Current report

We are continuing to drive innovation in our algorithms, emphasizing automation, personalization and simplification to continue to improve therapeutic outcomes and provide a positive patient experience. In late 2023, an enhanced version of our Control-IQ technology was cleared with additional features for people with type 1 diabetes age 2 and older. In the third quarter of 2024, we completed a pivotal study to support expanding indications to include people living with type 2 diabetes. We are also pursuing the use of different insulins with our Control-IQ technology. For example, in the first half of 2024 we received approval for both the addition of Trurapi U-100 in Canada and Lyumjev in the European Union as compatible insulins that can be used with our t:slim X2 pump with Control-IQ technology.

Previous report

•We have expanded our business and launched new products in select geographies outside the United States. The ordering patterns of our distributors outside the United States has historically been highly variable from period to period. For example, we began operations of a European distribution center which led to a reduction of inventory levels at our distributors, significantly impacting sales patterns in the second half of 2022 and first half of 2023.

Previous report

In October 2023, we were notified that $3.1 million of additional interest beyond the 1.50% per annum had been accruing on the 2025 Notes since May 2021, pursuant to the terms of the indenture (see Note 7, “Debt”).

Previous report

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we shipped more than 31,000 pumps worldwide. Sales were $244.0 million, which included $72.3 million of sales outside the United States. Sales were $185.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which included $55.4 million of sales outside the United States. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized incremental pump sales of $1.0 million as a result of Tandem Choice fulfillments. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, our revenues were reduced by $8.2 million for pump sales as a result of deferrals related to Tandem Choice. The Tandem Choice program launched in the United States in September of 2022 and eligibility to participate in the program (and our associated sales deferrals) ended in February 2024 in conjunction with the launch of Tandem Mobi.

Previous report

Pump sales in the United States were $86.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $66.4 million in the third quarter of 2023. Our pump shipments in the United States increased more than 20% to nearly 21,000 pumps in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023. We also benefited from an increase in average selling prices across all product lines due to price increases, customer mix and a continued shift to a higher percent of direct sales versus in our distribution channel. Sales to distributors accounted for 61% and 64% of the Company’s United States sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Sales of pump-related supplies increased primarily due to a year-over-year increase in our installed base of customers in the United States, as well as an increase in average selling prices. Tandem Choice fulfillments in the third quarter of 2024 resulted in incremental sales of $1.0 million. Sales in the United States for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were reduced by $8.2 million in sales deferrals related to Tandem Choice.

Previous report

Pump sales outside the United States were $28.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $21.7 million in the third quarter of 2023. Our pump shipments outside the United States increased by over 30% to nearly 11,000 pumps for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023. We also benefited from an increase in average selling prices due primarily to geographical mix. Sales of pump-related supplies increased due to a year-over-year increase in our installed base of customers outside the United States.

Previous report

Our cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $119.3 million, resulting in gross profit of $124.7 million, compared to cost of sales of $95.9 million and gross profit of $89.8 million for the same period in 2023. Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 included a charge of $0.7 million for Tandem Choice fulfillments. There was no comparable charge during the same period in 2023. The gross margin for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 51% and 48%, respectively.

Previous report

The effect of our Tandem Choice program on gross profit and gross margin was negligible for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was reduced by $8.2 million, or approximately two percentage points of gross margin due to Tandem Choice. The impact on gross margin from Tandem Choice will continue to fluctuate through the end of the program based on the number of eligible customers who ultimately elect to participate.

Previous report

Excluding the impact of Tandem Choice, gross margin was flat compared to the prior year period. Gross margin benefited from pricing improvement across all product lines and lower pump materials cost, offset by higher labor and overhead on a per-unit basis as we continued to scale the launch of Tandem Mobi. Gross margin was positively impacted by product mix. Pump sales, which have the highest gross margin, were 47% of total worldwide sales in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 43% in the third quarter of 2023. Excluding the impact of Tandem Choice, pump sales for the third quarter of 2024 were 47% of worldwide sales and 45% of worldwide sales for the third quarter of 2023.

Previous report

Our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $150.7 million, compared to $121.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The $29.4 million increase was primarily driven by increased development efforts for pipeline products as well as the ramp up of sales and marketing for Mobi.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Previous report

Pump sales in the United States were $230.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $207.2 million for the same period in 2023. Our pump shipments in the United States increased by nearly 10% to more than 56,000 pumps for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The scaled launch of Tandem Mobi has impacted, and may continue to impact, the timing of customer purchases across the quarters. For example, Tandem Mobi became commercially available in the United States in February 2024 initially with Dexcom G6 sensor integration, followed by Dexcom G7 sensor integration in June 2024. We also benefited from an increase in average selling prices across all product lines due to price increases, customer mix and a continued shift to a higher percent of direct sales versus in our distribution channel. Sales of pump-related supplies increased primarily due to a year-over-year increase in our ending estimated installed base of customers in the United States, as well as increase in average selling prices. The net sales impact from revenue deferrals and fulfillments of our Tandem Choice program in the United States for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was negligible. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenues were reduced by $12.6 million as the result of sales deferrals related to Tandem Choice. The decrease in the net revenue deferral for Tandem Choice in 2024 as compared to 2023 was primarily due to the cessation of the sales deferral period in February 2024, which coincided with the launch of Tandem Mobi. Pump sales that occurred after February 2024 were not eligible for Tandem Choice, nor subject to a sales deferral.

Previous report

Our pump shipments outside the United States increased by over 20% to more than 30,000 pumps for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Pump sales outside the United States were $79.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $67.2 million for the same period in 2023. Throughout 2024, we have seen increased customer demand for our products. In the first half of 2023, pump and supply shipments were impacted by an operational transition to a centralized European distribution center which resulted in significant disruption in distributor ordering patterns. The transition was completed by the second half of 2023. The increase in pump sales was offset by a slight decrease in pump average selling prices due primarily to geographical mix. In addition to the distribution center transition, sales of pump-related supplies outside the United States increased due to growth in our installed base of customers. Sales to distributors accounted for the overwhelming majority of our total sales outside the United States for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

Previous report

The effect of Tandem Choice was negligible for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a gross margin reduction of approximately 1 percentage point for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The impact on gross margin from our Tandem Choice program will fluctuate through the expiration of the program based on the number and timing of eligible customers who ultimately elect to participate.

Previous report

Gross margin benefited from pricing improvement and lower materials cost, offset by higher labor and overhead costs on a per-unit basis as we continue to scale the launch of Tandem Mobi. Gross margin was negatively impacted by product mix. Pump sales, which have the highest gross margin, were 47% of total worldwide sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 48% of worldwide sales for the first nine months of 2023. Excluding the impact of Tandem Choice, pump sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were 47% of total worldwide sales compared to 49% in the first nine months of 2023.

Previous report

Our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $430.7 million, compared to $472.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The $41.9 million decrease was primarily driven by $78.8 million of acquired in-process research and development expenses incurred in 2023 in connection with our acquisition of AMF Medical, for which there was no comparable expense in 2024. In 2023, we also incurred a non-recurring operating lease impairment charge in SG&A of $14.1 million as a result of a facilities consolidation (see Note 6, “Leases”), and employee severance costs of $2.7 million. These non-recurring expenses from 2023 were partially offset by higher operating expenses in 2024 related to development efforts for pipeline products as well as the ramp up of sales and marketing for Tandem Mobi.

Previous report

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses increased 6% to $284.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, from $266.8 million for the same period in 2023. Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included non-recurring expenses of $14.1 million related to lease impairment charges and $2.1 million in severance costs in 2023. Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased mainly due to higher employee-related, marketing and consulting expenses which related to new product launches.

Previous report

Research and Development Expenses. R&D expenses increased 15% to $146.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, from $127.1 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily the result of an increase in salaries and related benefits from our acquisitions and an increase in personnel to support our product development efforts. We also experienced an increase in other non-employee discretionary spending, including clinical trials costs and equipment expenses.

Previous report

Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expenses. Acquired IPR&D expenses of $78.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 represented the value of assets acquired, and acquisition related expenses, in connection with our acquisition of AMF Medical (see Note 12, “Acquisitions”).

Previous report

Total other income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $6.7 million income, compared to $9.2 million income in the same period in 2023. Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily consisted of $16.7 million of interest income earned on our cash equivalents and short-term investments, partially offset by $5.6 million of interest expense which included the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our 2025 Notes and 2029 Notes. Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily consisted of $15.2 million of interest income earned on our cash equivalents and short-term investments, and $2.0 million in foreign currency transaction gains, partially offset by $8.1 million of interest expense which included $3.1 million of additional interest as discussed above and the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our 2025 Notes.

From September 2022 through February 2024, we offered the Tandem Choice program to eligible t:slim X2 customers to provide a pathway to ownership of our newest hardware platform, Tandem Mobi, for a fee when available. Eligible customers who purchased a t:slim X2 insulin pump during the program period have until December 31, 2024 to exercise the option to switch to the Tandem Mobi for a stated fee. The accounting treatment for Tandem Choice is complex (see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”). The program required the deferral of some portion of sales for shipments of eligible pumps between the third quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2024. No election was made by the customer at the time of the initial sale, nor did the right offered to the customer impact the economics associated with how or when the initial pump sale was reimbursed. If a customer elects to participate in Tandem Choice, we will recognize the existing sales deferral, incremental fees received and the associated costs of goods sold for the new insulin pump, Tandem Mobi, at the time of fulfillment. Qualifying customers were able to elect participation in Tandem Choice starting near the end of the second quarter of 2024. Any remaining deferrals will be recognized when the program ends on December 31, 2024, provided all obligation under the Tandem Choice program are satisfied. The balance of the Tandem Choice deferral was $30.1 million as of September 30, 2024.
