During the third quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a trade receivables sale agreement with a third-party financial institution to sell certain trade receivables of the Company at a discount on an uncommitted basis. These trade receivable sales are accounted for as a sale of assets, as the Company's continuing involvement is limited to servicing the accounts receivables. The Company receives the sales price, equal to the trade receivable less the applicable discount, at the time of sale.
Current report
In connection with the Company's receivables sale agreement, $26.2 million of trade receivables were sold during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, resulting in derecognition of the receivables from the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Commoditization of Injection Devices. Given the growing demand for medical devices to assist in the treatment of diabetes and difficulties around access to diabetes care due to complex and costly insurance plans, patient care is increasingly focused on providing more affordable products, which has led to the commoditization of more traditional injection delivery devices, such as insulin syringes and pen needles. Existing and new local and regional low-cost providers, in combination with a shift from insulin vials to insulin pens, have made the pen needle category highly competitive. This has forced providers to provide clinical evidence to differentiate their products.

Global Trade. The current global economic environment has been recently influenced by rapidly changing new tariff policies instituted by the United States ("U.S.") government and foreign governments. As a global company that both imports raw materials and products into the U.S. and distributes products and raw materials originating from the U.S. to global manufacturing sites and markets, these new tariffs may have a financial impact on our cost of goods, our profit margins, our business generally and our global distribution strategy. These new tariffs have also caused foreign governments and private purchasers to consider transitioning away from products originating from certain countries (including the U.S.) in favor of buying “local” products, which may impact the company’s business and operations.

These new tariffsmay cause foreign governments and private purchasers to consider transitioning away from products originating from certain countries (including the U.S.) in favor of buying “local” products resulting in the additional possibility that local manufacturers, brands and other competitors may engage in aggressive competitive pricing to take advantage of the uncertain global trade environment and transition customers away from global manufacturers, all of which may impact the company’s business and operations.
Previous wording
We continue to face increases in the cost and disrupted availability of raw materials, components, and other inputs necessary to manufacture and distribute our products due to constraints and inflation within the global supply chain, as well as increases in the cost and time to distribute our products. To date we have been able to successfully mitigate this disruption and provide uninterrupted supply to our customers by increasing our inventory levels and taking other measures. Given our global business, we expect recently announced tariffs will result in additional cost for us and our suppliers as well as influencing potential future decisions by foreign governments and private purchasers to source non-U.S., “locally” manufactured products instead of products originating from certain countries (including the U.S.). We will continue to monitor the evolving tariff environment and we will focus on optimizing operations and leveraging existing strategies to reduce the impact from tariffs.

Changes in revenues are driven by the volume of goods that the Company sells, the prices it negotiates with customers, and changes in foreign exchange rates.
