In the competitive landscape of diabetes management technology, Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD) is a key player with its innovative, tubeless insulin pump, the Omnipod. The company recently released its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, offering a clear view of its current performance and strategic direction. Let's dive into the details from their latest 10-Q filing to see what the numbers reveal.
Insulet reported a robust third quarter, with total revenue climbing to $706.3 million, a nearly 30% increase from the $543.9 million recorded in the same period last year. This impressive growth is overwhelmingly driven by its core Omnipod product line.
While the U.S. market continues to be the company's largest, posting a strong 25.6% growth, the real standout was its international performance. International revenue surged by an astounding 46.5% year-over-year, indicating successful market penetration and adoption of the Omnipod system abroad. This geographic diversification is a healthy sign for sustained long-term growth.
A company's revenue growth is only part of the story; profitability tells us how efficiently that revenue is being converted into actual earnings. The following flow diagram illustrates how Insulet's revenue breaks down into costs and ultimately, net income for the quarter.

As seen in the income statement, a significant portion of the company's revenue, $184.5 million for the quarter, is designated as "Revenue from related party." This typically refers to sales made through a major distributor or strategic partner with whom the company has a close relationship.
One of the most encouraging signs in this report is the expansion of Insulet's gross margin—a measure of profitability on its products. The margin improved to 72.2% from 69.3% in the prior year's quarter. This means for every dollar of sales, Insulet is keeping more profit before accounting for operating expenses, likely due to improved manufacturing efficiency as it scales production.
Furthermore, operating income grew even faster than revenue, increasing by 33.6% to $117.7 million. This demonstrates operating leverage, where the company is effectively managing its research and development (R&D) and selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs relative to its rapid sales growth. While net income growth was more modest at 13.0% (to $87.6 million), this was primarily due to a significantly higher income tax expense compared to the same quarter last year.
Beyond the income statement, Insulet has been actively managing its balance sheet. During the first nine months of 2025, the company significantly reduced its total debt from nearly $1.4 billion to just over $1.0 billion. This was achieved through a strategic refinancing that involved repaying over $1 billion in convertible debt, funded in part by issuing new, lower-cost notes.
In another sign of financial confidence, Insulet is also returning capital to its shareholders. The company repurchased $29.6 million of its common stock during the quarter under a newly authorized buyback program.
Insulet's third-quarter results paint a picture of a company firing on all cylinders. It is delivering powerful revenue growth, particularly in international markets, while simultaneously improving profitability and strengthening its balance sheet. In the fast-evolving world of diabetes technology, where Insulet competes with established players, this strong execution and focus on innovation will be critical for maintaining its momentum.
