Item 1A. Risk Factors
Refer to the “Item 1A. Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a discussion of risks to which our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are subject. Other than as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the aforementioned Annual Report.
Risks Related to Our Limited Commercial History, Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital
We may need to raise additional funds in the future, and these funds may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
The development of medical devices is capital-intensive. Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception. As of September 30, 2026, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $240.3 million. In January 2025, we completed our initial public offering and a concurrent private placement, pursuant to which we received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $190.4 million and approximately $15.6 million, respectively, in each case after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. In September 2026, we completed a follow-on public offering of common stock and a pre-funded warrant to purchase common stock, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $161.3 million after underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. Based on our current and planned use of the net proceeds of these offerings and our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, we estimate that our funds will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. This estimate is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Changing circumstances could cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to spend more than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control.
We expect our expenses to increase gradually in connection with our ongoing activities. The timing and amount of our funding requirements, will depend on many factors, including:
the cost of maintaining FDA clearance for the iLet as an automated insulin dosing system cleared for the treatment of T1D in adults and children six years of age and older, including updates and revisions to our quality system;
the cost of maintaining FDA clearance for Mint, our patch pump, including costs associated with ongoing regulatory requirements and future product modifications;
the cost of obtaining and maintaining FDA marketing authorization or clearance for other future indications or other product candidates, including for the iLet for T1D using both insulin and glucagon (a bihormonal system) and the iLet for T2D;
the cost of commercializing our Mint patch pump;
future revenue generated by sales of the iLet and Mint and any future product candidates, if approved or cleared;
costs associated with scaling up and expanding our manufacturing capacity, including in preparation for the commercial launch of Mint;
costs associated with building and expanding our sales and marketing efforts in the United States, including the commercialization of Mint, and, in the future, internationally;
costs associated with conducting research and development efforts for future improvements to the iLet or Mint, our patch pump;
costs associated with conducting research and development efforts for future product offerings, such as bihormonal system of the iLet;
the cost of complying with regulatory requirements;
costs associated with capital expenditures;
the costs associated with hiring additional personnel as our business grows;
costs associated with any future litigation;
the impact of geopolitical and macroeconomic events, including tariffs or other trade measures, future bank failures, increased geopolitical tensions and conflict, global pandemics, global economic conditions including changes in monetary and fiscal policy, U.S. political developments and other sources of instability that may impact our ability to access capital on acceptable terms, if at all.
We may require additional capital beyond the proceeds of these offerings, which we may raise through public or private equity or debt financings or other capital sources, which may include strategic collaborations and other strategic arrangements with third parties. Furthermore, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative effect on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy. In addition, attempting to secure additional financing may divert the time and attention of our management from day-to-day activities and harm our development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts.
Our ability to raise additional funds may also be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide resulting from geopolitical tensions, such as the ongoing war in Ukraine, the Israel and Palestine conflict, government actions implemented as a result of either of the foregoing, as well as tensions with and economic uncertainty in China, tariffs and other trade measures, inflation, interest rates, liquidity concerns at, and failures of, banks and other financial institutions, changes in monetary and fiscal policy and U.S. political developments and other sources of instability. If the equity and credit markets further deteriorate, or do not improve, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly and more dilutive. Market volatility may further adversely impact our ability to access capital as and when needed.
If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate certain of our research and development programs or manufacturing or commercialization efforts. If this were to occur, our ability to grow and support our business and to respond to market challenges could be significantly limited, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to successfully commercialize Mint, our patch pump, on the timeline we anticipate or at all, and Mint may not achieve market acceptance among patients, healthcare providers, or payors, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In September 2026, we announced that the FDA had cleared Mint, our patch pump. Our future growth depends in significant part on our ability to successfully commercialize Mint, and we have no experience launching a patch pump. Mint is a new product with a different form factor from the iLet, which is currently our only commercialized product and source of revenue. Our strategy for Mint therefore requires us to execute on the risks described below, many of which are outside our control.
We currently expect to commercially launch Mint in the United States by the end of the first quarter of 2027. This timeline has changed before, and we may not meet it. Our ability to launch depends on, among other things:
completing scale-up and validation of manufacturing processes, including those of our contract manufacturers and component suppliers;
building sufficient inventory;
obtaining and maintaining quality system compliance;
training and expanding our sales, clinical support, and customer service organizations;
developing training, onboarding, and technical support for a new product category; and
completing any remaining regulatory, software, or cybersecurity activities required for launch.
Any delay in these activities, or any product quality, reliability, or supply issue, could postpone the launch, increase our costs, harm our reputation, or lead to recalls, corrective actions, or field safety notices.
Risks Related to the Development, Regulatory Approval and Commercialization of our iLet Bionic Pancreas and Product Candidates
We are highly dependent on the success of our iLet and Mint for the treatment of T1D, which are cleared by the FDA for commercial sale in the United States for the treatment of T1D. If we are unable to obtain and maintain regulatory clearance or approval for planned modifications to the iLet or Mint or for new indications, or for any current or future development-stage products, such as 3D Intelligence, iLet 3D and Mint 3D, or if we are unsuccessful in our efforts to continue to commercialize our cleared products, our business will be materially harmed.
We currently have one commercialized device, the iLet, which is an automated insulin dosing system cleared for the treatment of T1D in adults and children six years of age and older. Our business primarily depends on the successful commercialization of the iLet. In September 2026, we announced FDA clearance of Mint, our patch pump featuring a transformative reusable and disposable architecture, for the treatment of T1D in adults and children six years of age and older, and our expected initiation of full commercialization of Mint in the United States in the first quarter of 2027. We currently have no other products cleared for sale and may never be able to develop other marketable products. Additionally, in September 2026, we announced our submission of a 510(k) application to the FDA for 3D Intelligence, our anticipated next-generation insulin dosing algorithm and, subject to and following regulatory clearance by the FDA, our expectation for 3D Intelligence to power both iLet 3D and Mint 3D, our investigational next-generation automated insulin delivery platforms. In October 2026, pursuant to discussion with FDA, we voluntarily withdrew the 510(k) notification for 3D Intelligence, and intend to revise and resubmit it mid-fourth quarter of 2026. Our iLet will require additional clinical development, testing and marketing authorization or regulatory clearance before we are permitted to commercialize it in a bihormonal system for the treatment of T1D or for any future indications we may pursue. Further, as we develop a bihormonal system of the iLet, which is designed to use both insulin and glucagon for the treatment of T1D, we will separately need to develop and obtain approval for our glucagon product candidate as a drug via an NDA submission in order to successfully commercialize our iLet in a bihormonal system. We expect that the bihormonal system will require completion of clinical trials and submission of a 510(k) for both the infusion pump and algorithm. In addition, we expect that the single hormone and bihormonal algorithms will require separate studies to be performed in T1D and T2D populations in order to seek clearance in these patient populations. Our iLet and Mint will also require additional marketing authorization or regulatory clearance before we are permitted to commercialize them with 3D Intelligence as iLet 3D and Mint 3D, respectively. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to revise and timely resubmit 3D Intelligence or that the FDA will clear the 3D intelligence or any other application on the anticipated timeline, or at all, that we will ultimately be able to market and commercialize 3D Intelligence, iLet 3D or Mint 3D, or that we will be able to scale our manufacturing processes sufficiently to meet anticipated demand at launch. The future regulatory and commercial success of 3D Intelligence, iLet and Mint, including versions powered by 3D Intelligence, and any other product candidate is subject to a number of risks, including the following:
completion of preclinical studies with favorable results;
successful enrollment in, and completion of, planned and future clinical trials with favorable results;
sufficiency of our financial and other resources to complete the necessary clinical trials and regulatory activities;
successful patient enrollment in clinical trials;
successful data from our clinical program that supports an acceptable risk-benefit profile in the intended populations;
whether we are required by the FDA to conduct additional clinical trials or to modify the design of current or planned trials to support any future application seeking marketing authorization or clearance of the iLet in a bihormonal system for the treatment of T1D or for other indications we may pursue, or seeking initial marketing authorization or clearance for any of our other product candidates;
receipt and maintenance of marketing authorizations or clearances from applicable regulatory authorities;
obtaining and maintaining patent and trade secret protection and regulatory exclusivity, including for our iLet;
making arrangements with third-party manufacturers and ensuring such third-party manufacturers supply sufficient quantities of components of our products and product candidates;
scaling up our manufacturing capabilities, for both commercial and clinical supplies of our products and product candidates;
entry into collaborations to further the development of capabilities;
expanding sales, marketing and distribution capabilities as we continue our commercialization efforts of the iLet, whether alone or in collaboration with others;
successfully launching and driving commercial sales of our existing products and any other product candidate, if authorized for marketing or cleared;
acceptance of our products by PWD, the medical community and third-party payors;
maintaining a continued acceptable safety profile following marketing authorization or clearance, including in respect of our post-market surveillance order issued by the FDA for our iLet;
managing and responding to voluntary or mandatory recalls, including our four open recalls;
maintaining regulatory compliance;
effectively competing with other treatment options and the availability, perceived advantages, relative cost, relative safety and relative effectiveness of alternative and competing treatments;
the emergence of competing technologies and other adverse market developments, and our need to enhance existing products and/or develop new products to maintain market share in response to such competing technologies or market developments;
maintaining healthcare coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors;
continuing to build and maintain an organization of people who can successfully develop our products; and
Many of these risks are beyond our control, including the risks related to clinical development, the regulatory submission, oversight and review processes, potential threats to our intellectual property rights and the manufacturing, marketing and sales efforts of any future collaborator. If we are not successful in commercializing our iLet or Mint, or in obtaining marketing authorization or clearance for the iLet in its bihormonal system for the treatment of T1D or for the iLet or Mint in other indications, such as T2D, the investigational glucagon product, or any other product candidate, or if we experience delays as a result of any of these risks or otherwise, our business could be materially harmed.
Furthermore, even though we have received clearance for our iLet for insulin-only delivery for the treatment of T1D, any other configuration for the treatment of T1D such as a bihormonal system using both insulin and glucagon or other indications we may pursue for which we receive marketing authorization or clearance may be subject to limitations on the patient populations for which we may market the product. Even if we are able to obtain the requisite financing to continue to fund our development programs, we cannot assure you that we will successfully develop, obtain marketing authorization or clearance for, and commercialize our iLet in its bihormonal system for the treatment of T1D or for any future indication we may pursue, the investigational glucagon product, or any other development-stage products. If we are unable to continue commercializing the iLet or Mint for T1D, or if we are unable to develop, or obtain marketing authorization or clearance for, or, if authorized for marketing or cleared, successfully commercialize the iLet or Mint for the treatment of any future indications, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to continue our business.
Our future growth depends on the continued success, enhancement, and expanded use of the iLet as well as the development and commercial release of the patch pump, Mint. If we fail to advance the iLet platform, the Mint platform or expand their indications, our business may be adversely affected.
It is important to our business and our long-term growth that we continue to develop and enhance the iLet, including in a bihormonal system, as well as expand our product portfolio, including our patch pump, Mint. For example, we have completed over 20 pre-pivotal trials testing the algorithms in order to enhance its learning capabilities. We intend to continue to invest in research and development activities focused on improvements and enhancements to the iLet. Additionally, we intend to pursue marketing authorization or clearance for other indications in the United States in the future.
Developing enhancements to the iLet and developing Mint has, and will continue to be expensive and time-consuming and has, and may continue to, divert management’s attention away from the commercialization of the iLet and Mint and divert financial resources from other operations. The success of any new products or new product enhancements, including marketing authorization or clearance for additional indications, will depend on several factors, including our ability to:
properly identify and anticipate physician and patient needs, and develop enhancements to meet those needs;
demonstrate, if required, the safety and effectiveness of new enhancements to our products, including additional indications, with data from preclinical studies and clinical trials;
obtain in a timely manner the necessary marketing authorization or clearance for new enhancements to the iLet, product modifications or expanded indications;
avoid infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties;
comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those governing the marketing of new devices or modified products;
develop an effective and dedicated sales and marketing team to provide adequate education and training to potential users of the iLet; and
receive adequate coverage and reimbursement for procedures performed with the iLet.
While we have commercialized the iLet as an automated insulin dosing system cleared for the treatment of T1D in adults and children six years of age and older, we may not be successful in expanding the configurations or indications and developing and commercializing new products or product enhancements. This could negatively impact our ability to achieve and maintain market share and increase our revenue, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Manufacturing and Our Reliance on Third Parties
We are substantially dependent on various third parties for the continued development of our iLet and product candidates. Certain of our current and future collaborators may control aspects of our clinical trials, which could result in delays or other obstacles in the development of the investigational devices or other development-stage candidates, such as glucagon, we develop. If our collaborations are terminated or are not successful, our ability to further enhance our iLet and product candidates may be adversely affected.
Our iLet is currently only compatible with DexCom’s G6 and G7 iCGM devices and Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus CGM sensor. In September 2026, we announced a partnership to integrate the iLet with Senseonics Holdings, Inc.’s Eversense 365 CGM. Although we are actively working to expand the compatibility of our iLet with other iCGM models, there is no assurance we will be successful in our efforts. Our development agreement with DexCom provides us with non-exclusive licenses to integrate the currently available generation of DexCom’s iCGM technology with our iLet. Under our current commercialization agreement with DexCom, we and DexCom have agreed to commercialize an AID system comprised of our iLet and DexCom’s G6 or G7 iCGM. We also have a development and commercialization agreement with Abbott, under which we and Abbott have agreed to commercialize an AID system comprised of our iLet and Abbott’s iCGM. These agreements may be terminated by the other party upon certain conditions. If our existing agreements are terminated and/or DexCom or Abbott enter into an exclusive partnership with one of our competitors, our ability to commercialize the iLet would be disrupted, which would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, negatively impact our ability to compete and cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Additionally, we entered into an exclusive collaboration and license agreement with Xeris to facilitate the development of a dual-hormone pump for PWD, whereby Xeris will develop a glucagon drug product candidate utilizing Xeris’ XeriSol technology for use in our iLet in its bihormonal system (if such configuration is authorized for marketing). We will be responsible for obtaining regulatory approval of such glucagon product candidate. We also entered into collaboration agreements with certain third-party producers of insulin, pursuant to which we have agreed to work with such parties to support the development of the iLet by researching and incorporating certain proprietary insulins in our iLet. Although we have been successful in obtaining clearance of our iLet with the use of these insulins, we are dependent upon the continued cooperation and collaboration of these parties. If any of these agreements are terminated, we would be required to purchase the applicable party’s approved insulin and fill empty insulin cartridges fitted for the iLet to evaluate such party’s insulin in trials, which would increase our costs and could delay the timing of trials. Although there are other producers of insulin, there is no assurance we could enter into agreements with them on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, and receive marketing authorizations or clearances for the use of their insulin in the iLet. Our current collaboration agreements pose, and potential future collaborations involving our iLet may pose, the following risks to us:
we may not be able to control the amount and timing of resources that our strategic collaborators devote to the development and commercialization of our products;
collaborators could independently develop, or develop with third parties, products that compete directly or indirectly with our iLet;
collaborators may not properly enforce, maintain or defend our intellectual property rights or may use our proprietary information in a way that gives rise to actual or threatened litigation;
disputes may arise between a collaborator and us that cause the delay or termination of the research, development or commercialization of the investigational device, or that result in costly litigation or arbitration that diverts management attention and resources;
collaborators may experience financial difficulties;
our collaborators may experience legal difficulties with respect to FDA regulations or regulations of other government agencies that jeopardize their ability to continue supporting the development and commercialization of our products;
collaborators could terminate our existing or future agreements or allow them to expire, which would delay the development and may increase the cost of developing our products;
if a present or future collaborator of ours were to be involved in a business combination, the continued pursuit and emphasis on our product development or commercialization program under such collaboration could be delayed, diminished or terminated; and
collaboration agreements may restrict our right to independently pursue new investigational devices.
If we enter into collaboration agreements and strategic partnerships or license our intellectual property, products or businesses, we may not be able to realize the benefit of such transactions if we are unable to successfully integrate them with our existing operations, which could delay our timelines or otherwise adversely affect our business. We also cannot be certain that, following a strategic transaction or license, we will achieve the revenue or specific net income that justifies such transaction. Any delays in entering into new collaborations or strategic partnership agreements related to any investigational device or other development-stage product we develop could delay the development and commercialization of our investigational devices or other development-stage products, which would harm our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Government Regulation
We and our suppliers are subject to ongoing regulatory obligations and continued regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expense and subject us to penalties if we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.
Once we obtain marketing authorization or clearance for FDA-regulated products, such as our iLet and any future products, we and such products will be subject to continued and pervasive regulatory review, oversight, requirements, and periodic inspections by the FDA and other domestic and foreign regulatory bodies governing, among other things, the manufacture, marketing, advertising, reporting, sale, promotion, import, export, registration, and listing of our products. For example, medical device manufacturers must submit periodic reports to the FDA as a condition of obtaining marketing authorization or clearance. These reports include information about failures and certain adverse events associated with the device after its marketing authorization or clearance. Failure to submit such reports, or failure to submit the reports in a timely manner, could result in enforcement action by the FDA. Following its review of the periodic reports, the FDA might ask for additional information or initiate further investigation. In particular, unless exempt, we and our suppliers are required to comply with the FDA’s QMSR for medical device products and cGMPs for any approved drug products, such as glucagon if it is ultimately approved, and other regulations enforced outside the United States which cover the manufacture of our products and the methods and documentation of the design, testing, production, control, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, storage and shipping of medical devices. Regulatory bodies, such as the FDA, enforce the QMSR and cGMPs and other regulations through periodic inspections. The failure by us or one of our suppliers to comply with applicable statutes and regulations administered by the FDA and other regulatory bodies, or the failure to timely and adequately respond to any adverse inspectional observations or product safety issues, could result in, among other things, any of the following enforcement actions and/or other negative consequences:
customer notification, or orders for repair, replacement or refunds;
voluntary or mandatory recall or seizure of our current or future products;
administrative detention by the FDA of medical devices believed to be adulterated or misbranded;
operating restrictions, suspension or shutdown of production;
refusing our requests for marketing authorization or clearance of new products, or new intended uses or modifications to the iLet;
suspending or withdrawing marketing authorizations or clearances that have already been granted; and
criminal prosecution.
If any of these actions were to occur, our reputation would be harmed and our product sales and profitability would be adversely impacted. Furthermore, our key component suppliers may not currently be or may not continue to be in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements which could result in our failure to manufacture our products on a timely basis and in the required quantities, if at all. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, including manufacturing problems, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements such as the QMSR, may result in changes to labeling, restrictions on such products or manufacturing processes, withdrawal of the products from the market, voluntary or mandatory recalls, a requirement to repair, replace or refund the cost of any medical device we manufacture or distribute, fines, suspension of regulatory approvals, product seizures, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties which would adversely affect our business, operating results and prospects.
In addition, the FDA may change its marketing authorization or clearance policies, adopt additional regulations or revise existing regulations, or take other actions, which may prevent or delay marketing authorization or clearance of any product candidate under development or impact our ability to modify any products authorized for market on a timely basis. Such policy or regulatory changes could impose additional requirements upon us that could delay our ability to obtain marketing authorizations or clearances, increase the costs of compliance or restrict our ability to maintain any marketing authorizations or clearances we have obtained. For example, in February 2024, the FDA issued a final rule to amend and replace the former Quality System Regulation, which set forth the FDA’s current good manufacturing practice requirements for medical devices, to align more closely with the International Organization for Standardization standards. Specifically, this final rule, which went into effect on February 2, 2026, established the QMSR, which among other things, incorporates by reference the quality management system requirements of ISO 13485:2016. Although the FDA has stated that the standards contained in ISO 13485:2016 are substantially similar to those set forth in the former Quality System Regulation, it is unclear the extent to which this final rule, once effective, could impose additional or different regulatory requirements on us that could increase the costs of compliance or otherwise negatively affect our business. If we are unable to comply with the QMSR or with any other changes in the laws or regulations enforced by the FDA or comparable regulatory authorities, we may be subject to enforcement action, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 2024 decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo overturned the longstanding Chevron doctrine, under which courts were required to give deference to regulatory agencies’ reasonable interpretations of ambiguous federal statutes. The Loper decision could result in additional legal challenges to regulations and decisions issued by federal agencies, including the FDA, on which we rely. Any such legal challenges, if successful, could have a material impact on our business. Additionally, the Loper decision may result in increased regulatory uncertainty, inconsistent judicial interpretations, and other impacts to the agency rulemaking process, any of which could adversely impact our business and operations. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may be subject to enforcement action and we may not achieve or sustain profitability, which would harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
In addition, even after we have obtained marketing authorization or clearance for a product, the FDA has the power to require us to conduct post marketing studies, such as under a 522 Order, which is an order by the FDA to conduct a post-market study of an authorized or cleared medical device. We are subject to a post-market surveillance order issued by the FDA for our iLet. If the FDA determines that our iLet does not perform as anticipated, or if the FDA identifies new concerns related to the safety and effectiveness of the device, we may need to make changes to or recall or withdraw the iLet from the field, which could harm our business. These studies can be very expensive and time-consuming to conduct. Any failure to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements may significantly and adversely affect our ability to commercialize and generate revenue from our products. If regulatory sanctions are applied or if marketing authorization or clearance is withdrawn, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In June 2025, the FDA conducted an inspection of our Irvine, California facility. Following the inspection, the FDA issued a Form 483. We initiated remediation activities and followed our communicated plan to address the FDA’s observations. We submitted our response and provided multiple updates to the FDA regarding the status of our remediation efforts. On January 29, 2026, we received a Warning Letter from the FDA following such inspection. In the Warning Letter, the FDA cited deficiencies in the response letters we sent to the FDA following the FDA’s issuance of the Form 483. The Warning Letter highlights non-conformities observed by the FDA in relation to our Quality Management System, Medical Device Reporting, and Correction and Removals, which were previously communicated by the FDA in the Form 483. The Warning Letter does not restrict our ability to produce, market, manufacture or distribute our products, nor does it restrict our ability to seek FDA 510(k) clearance of new products. We take the observations described in the Warning Letter seriously and have been regularly updating the FDA on the progress we have made in improving our quality management system in the areas outlined by the FDA in the Warning Letter. We intend to continue providing these regular updates to the FDA until the Warning Letter is resolved. We cannot provide assurances that the FDA will be satisfied with our response or an expected timeline for resolutions of the matters included in the Warning Letter. Until the deficiencies cited in the Warning Letter are resolved to the FDA’s satisfaction, additional legal or regulatory action may be taken without further notice. We do not expect the Warning Letter to materially impact our previously disclosed guidance that we expect to fully commercialize Mint by the end of the first quarter of 2027.
The FDA can also publish Safety Communications or Letters to Health Care Providers when the agency becomes aware of new issues involving a specific product or, more broadly, a product family. These communications are posted on the FDA’s website and describe the FDA’s analysis of a current issue and provide specific regulatory approaches and clinical recommendations for patient management. If such communications occur it may harm our reputation and prevent us from generating revenue.
General Risk Factors
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. This risk is especially relevant for us because medical device companies have experienced significant stock price volatility in recent years. For example, in September 2026, a purported stockholder of our company filed a securities class action against our company and certain of our executive officers in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Holtzman v. Beta Bionics, Inc. et al., Case No. 8:26-cv-2612-JWH (KESx), alleging violations of certain federal securities laws related to certain statements made with respect to the safety, efficacy and commercial success of iLet. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter. If we are not successful in defense of these claims or any other claims we may face in the future, we may have to make significant payments to, or other settlements with, our stockholders and their attorneys. Even if such claims are not successful, this litigation has resulted in additional costs to us and this litigation and any other claims we may face in the future could result in further substantial costs and diversion of our management’s attention and resources in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. Additionally, the increase in the cost of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance may cause us to opt for lower overall policy limits or to forgo insurance that we may otherwise rely on to cover significant defense costs, settlements and damages awarded to plaintiffs.
