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 quarterly report. The
following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our
plans, estimates and beliefs and involve 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" in both our annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2019 and in this quarterly report.
Overview
We are primarily engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of our
proprietary Omnipod® System ("Omnipod"), an innovative, continuous insulin
delivery system for people with insulin-dependent diabetes. 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. Insulin pumps are used to perform continuous subcutaneous insulin
infusion, or insulin pump therapy, and typically use a programmable device and
an infusion set to administer insulin into a person's body. Insulin pump therapy
has been shown to provide people with insulin-dependent diabetes with numerous
advantages relative to MDI therapy. The Omnipod System features a small,
lightweight, self-adhesive disposable tubeless Omnipod device ("Pod") that is
worn on the body for up to three days at a time; and its wireless companion, the
handheld Personal Diabetes Manager. The Omnipod System, which features discreet
and easy-to-use devices communicates wirelessly, provides for virtually
pain-free automated cannula insertion and eliminates the need for traditional
MDI therapy or the use of traditional pump and tubing. We believe that the
Omnipod System's unique proprietary design and features allow people with
insulin-dependent diabetes to manage their diabetes with unprecedented freedom,
comfort, convenience and ease.
In addition to the diabetes market space, we have partnered with pharmaceutical
and biotechnology companies to tailor the Omnipod System technology platform for
the delivery of non-insulin subcutaneous drugs across other therapeutic areas.
Most of our drug delivery revenue currently consists of sales of Pods to Amgen
for use in the Neulasta® Onpro® kit, an innovative delivery system for Amgen's
white blood cell booster to help reduce the risk of infection after intense
chemotherapy.
Our mission is to improve the lives of people with diabetes. To assist in
achieving this mission, we are focused on the following key strategic
imperatives:
•delivering consumer-focused innovation;
•ensuring the best customer experience globally;
•expanding our global footprint; and
•driving operational excellence.
Our long-term financial objective is to sustain profitable growth. To achieve
this goal, we expect our efforts in 2020 to focus primarily on the pivotal trial
in the United States for Omnipod 5, powered by Horizon™ ("Omnipod 5"), our
automated insulin delivery system. In order to support our continued growth and
the expected launch of Omnipod 5 in the first half 2021, we continue to focus on
adding capacity to our U.S. manufacturing plant. During the first quarter of
2020, we began producing salable product on our second manufacturing line in the
U.S. and we plan to install a third line in the second half of 2020, on which
production is expected in 2021.
Additionally, in 2020, we had planned to further roll out our Omnipod DASHTM
Insulin Management System ("Omnipod DASH"), our next generation digital mobile
Omnipod platform, in Europe and Canada and enter five new countries in Western
Europe and the Middle East to expand the commercial sale of Omnipod and our
global footprint. We are still committed to the further roll out of Omnipod DASH
and to entering new countries, although the timing has shifted to early 2021
primarily due to the coronavirus pandemic discussed under Recent Developments
below. This change in expected timing will not have a material impact on our
2020 revenues since we did not expect these actions to have a meaningful
contribution in 2020, although they are expected to contribute to our long-term
growth.
Finally, we plan to continue our product development efforts and expand
awareness of and access to our products. Achieving the above strategic
imperatives is expected to require additional investments in certain initiatives
and personnel, as well as enhancements to our supply chain operation capacity,
efficiency and effectiveness.
Recent Developments
A novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") was identified in China in December
2019, and subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in
March 2020. The COVID-19 outbreak in China resulted in abnormally low production
at our contract manufacturer in China during the first two months of the year,
which resulted in incremental depreciation expense for under-utilized plant
capacity for those two months. In response to this outbreak, we took measures to
ensure our ability to continue to provide product to our customers, including
providing manufacturing incentives to our contract manufacturer in China and
utilizing expedited, but more costly, shipping measures to transport product
from China. In addition, we implemented strict screening and additional
sanitation measures.

China, where we manufacture a significant portion of our products, has begun to
experience recovery from COVID-19 and we have been able to produce at normal
capacity since March. Additionally, our second highly automated manufacturing
line in our U.S. manufacturing plant has provided additional manufacturing
redundancy to help mitigate manufacturing risks stemming from COVID-19. Once
fully ramped, we expect the two highly-automated lines in our U.S. manufacturing
plant to provide us with capacity in the U.S. that is equivalent to all our
current lines in China. Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors for a discussion of
COVID-19 risks.

Revenue
Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $49.2 million,
or 27.8%, to $226.3 million, compared with $177.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2019. Constant currency revenue growth of 28.8% was primarily
driven by higher volume and, to a lesser extent, favorable sales channel mix.
Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $87.6 million, or
26.0%, to $424.3 million, compared with $336.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2019. Constant currency revenue growth of 27.1% was primarily driven by
higher volume and, to a lesser extent, favorable sales channel mix.
U.S. Omnipod
U.S. Omnipod revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $30.7
million, or 31.3%, to $128.8 million, compared with $98.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to higher volumes
driven by growing our customer base, and to a lesser extent, an increase in
days-on-hand inventory at distributors due to both continued growth of DASH
adoption and COVID-19. The increase was also due to growth through the pharmacy
channel, where Pods have a higher average selling price due in part to the fact
that we offer the PDM for no charge.
U.S. Omnipod revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $61.2
million, or 33.2%, to $245.4 million, compared with $184.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to higher volumes
driven by growing our customer base, and to a lesser extent, an increase in
days-on-hand inventory at distributors due to both continued growth of DASH
adoption and COVID-19. The increase was also due to growth through the pharmacy
channel, where Pods have a higher average selling price due in part to the fact
that we offer the PDM for no charge. For full year 2020, we expect strong
Omnipod revenue growth driven by continued market penetration and volume growth
of Omnipod DASH, primarily in the pharmacy channel. We expect this revenue
growth to be partially offset by the impact of lower new Omnipod starts stemming
from COVID-19.
International Omnipod
International Omnipod revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased
$10.5 million, or 16.7%, to $73.2 million, compared with $62.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2019. Excluding the 3.0% unfavorable impact of
currency exchange,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
the remaining 19.7% increase in revenue was primarily driven by higher volumes
as we continue to expand awareness and access to the Omnipod and, to a lesser
extent, an increase in days-on-hand inventory at distributors due to COVID-19.
International Omnipod revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased
$26.7 million, or 22.3%, to $146.3 million, compared with $119.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2019. Excluding the 3.2% unfavorable impact of
currency exchange, the remaining 25.5% increase in revenue was primarily driven
by higher volumes as we continue to expand awareness and access to the Omnipod
and, to a lesser extent, an increase in days-on-hand inventory at distributors
due to COVID-19. Similar to in the U.S, for the full year 2020, we expect higher
International Omnipod revenue due to continued volume growth and market
penetration. We expect this revenue growth to be partially offset by the impact
of lower new Omnipod starts stemming from COVID-19.
Drug Delivery
Drug Delivery revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $8.0
million, or 49.1%, to $24.3 million, compared with $16.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2019, due to increased demand driven by COVID-19 and shift
in the timing of production between the first and second quarter.
Drug Delivery revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was relatively
level compared with the six months ended June 30, 2019. For full year 2020, we
expect Drug Delivery revenue to increase due to a higher demand forecast
resulting from COVID-19.

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $23.1
million, or 38.1%, to $83.8 million, compared with $60.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2019. Gross margin was 63.0% for the three months ended
June 30, 2020, compared with 65.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The
270 basis point decrease in gross margin was primarily due to start-up costs and
inefficiencies related to our new U.S. manufacturing operations, and $3.4
million for recruiting and screening expenses, expedited shipping costs and
manufacturing incentives associated with our contract manufacturer in China as a
result of the coronavirus pandemic. This decrease was partially offset by a
higher average selling price due to growth in the pharmacy channel.
Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $41.3 million,
or 36.4%, to $154.9 million, compared with $113.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2019. Gross margin was 63.5% for the six months ended June 30,
2020, compared with 66.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The 280 basis
point decrease in gross margin was primarily due to start-up costs and
inefficiencies related to our new U.S. manufacturing operations as well as two
months of higher depreciation expense for under-utilized plant capacity,
recruiting and screening expenses, expedited shipping costs and manufacturing
incentives totaling $6.5 million associated with our contract manufacturer in
China as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. This decrease was partially
offset by higher average selling price due to growth in the pharmacy channel. We
expect full year 2020 gross margin to be approximately 63%, which reflects an
estimated $7 to $10 million of costs resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, in
addition to start-up costs and inefficiencies as we continue to ramp up our U.S.
manufacturing operations, partially offset by continued improvements in our
global manufacturing and supply chain operations and the move into the pharmacy
channel in the United States.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020
increased $1.2 million, or 3.6%, to $34.2 million, compared with $33.0 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to
spend related to Omnipod 5, partially offset by reduced spend on Omnipod DASH,
which was launched in the prior year period.
Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020
increased $4.2 million, or 6.4%, to $69.7 million, compared with $65.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to spend
related to Omnipod 5, partially offset by reduced spend on Omnipod DASH, which
was launched in the prior year period. We expect research and development
spending for the full year 2020 to increase compared with 2019.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2020 increased $5.0 million, or 6.6%, to $80.8 million, compared with $75.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily
attributable to investments in initiatives to support our growth, as well as
headcount year over year, primarily associated with the expansion of our U.S.
sales force. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in travel and
entertainment expenses due to reduced activity resulting from COVID-19.
Selling general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,
2020 increased $22 million, or 15.4%, to $164.7 million, compared with $142.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily
attributable to investments in customer support and other initiatives to support
our growth, as well as headcount year over year, primarily associated with the
expansion of our U.S. sales force. These increases were partially offset by a
decrease in travel and entertainment expenses due to reduced activity resulting
from COVID-19. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses for the
full year 2020 to increase compared with 2019 due to expansion of our U.S. sales
force and customer support personnel and investments in our operating structure
to facilitate our continued growth.
Non-Operating Items
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense increased $5.3 million to $11.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2020, compared with $5.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2019. This increase was driven by a $3.4 million increase in
non-cash interest expense associated with our 0.375% Notes issued in September
2019, a $1.2 million decrease in interest income due to lower market rates and a
shift in a portion of our investment portfolio to more liquid investments and a
$1.0 million decrease in capitalized interest primarily due to the placement of
our first U.S. manufacturing line into service during the second quarter of
2019.
Net interest expense increased $10.6 million to $21.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2020, compared with $10.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 2019. This increase was driven by a $6.9 million increase in non-cash
interest expense associated with our 0.375% Notes issued in September 2019 and a
$2.8 million decrease in capitalized interest primarily due to the placement of
our first U.S. manufacturing line into service during the second quarter of
2019, as well as a $1.5 million decrease in interest income due to lower market
rates and a shift in a portion of our investment portfolio to more liquid
investments.
Other Income, Net
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had other income, net of $1.0
million, compared with $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
The increase in other income was primarily driven by unrealized foreign currency
gains due to the change in exchange rates.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had other income, net of $1.0
million, compared with $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, The
decrease in other income was primarily driven by a $1.8 million insurance
recovery for damaged inventory in excess of our cost received during the six
months ended June 30, 2019.
Income Tax Expense, Net
Income tax expense was $3.0 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This resulted in effective tax rates of
17.2% and 25.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The decrease in the effective tax rate was driven by a shift in expected
geographic mix of income.
Income tax expense was $2.5 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This resulted in effective tax rates of
17.0% and 12.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The increase in the effective tax rate was driven by a shift in expected
geographic mix of income.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses the following non-GAAP financial measures:
Constant currency revenue growth measures the change in revenue between current
and prior year periods using a constant currency, 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
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), to
evaluate our operating results. It is also one of the performance metrics that
determines management incentive compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income
tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation
and other significant unusual items, as applicable. We present Adjusted EBITDA
because management uses it as a supplemental measure in assessing our operating
performance, and we believe that it is helpful to investors, securities analysts
and other interested parties as a measure of our comparative operating
performance from period to period. We recognize Adjusted EBITDA as a commonly
used measure in determining business value and as such, use it internally to
report results. It is also one of the performance metrics that determines
management incentive compensation.
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
As of June 30, 2020, we had $779.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and
$88.8 million of investments in marketable securities. We believe that our
current liquidity will be sufficient to meet our projected operating, investing
and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months. As of
June 30, 2020, we had $78.7 million in capital commitments.
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
June 30, 2020, the following notes were outstanding:
