During the Q&A session this morning, Ashley, Flavia, Eric, and myself will be available to address any questions. Now I'd like to turn the call over to Ashley.

Ashley. Ashley? Thank you, Claire, and good morning, everyone. We're pleased to report a strong start to 2026 with continued growth momentum, robust margin expansion, and discipline execution of the strategic priorities we shared at Investor Day. Our first quarter performance clearly reflects the opportunity in our large and underpenetrated markets, the strength of our differentiated technology and compelling clinical outcomes, the scalability of our recurring revenue new business model, and the deep expertise and commitment of our teams around the world to finding a better way for people living with diabetes. We also made notable progress on our strategic priorities, which are to accelerate innovation that improves outcomes and unlocks new segments, develop our core markets as the category leader, strengthen our commercial capabilities, build a world-class team to enable our growth ambition, and leverage our financial strength to invest in and scale our business profitably. In the first quarter, we achieved 30% revenue growth, including 28% in the U.S. and 45% internationally. We continue to expand our customer base through new customer starts and enjoy strong retention and loyalty among our potters globally. Leveraging our strong revenue growth, we expanded adjusted operating margin by 110 basis points year over year. Adjusted EPS growth of approximately 40% was driven by our robust top-line growth and margin expansion and the benefits of our first quarter share repurchase. This performance reinforces our confidence in the financial growth algorithm we laid out last year and in our strategy to capture the significant opportunity ahead of us as the market leader and primary driver of category growth in the fast-growing global AID market. As a result, we are raising our full-year 2026 total company revenue growth guidance from 20% to 22% to 21% to 23%. Flavia will share more details on our performance and outlook shortly, But let me first walk you through how we are developing our key markets, driving performance, and advancing our strategic priorities. Starting with the U.S., our growth this quarter was strong, reinforcing our market leadership. We grew new customer starts year over year, led by strong momentum in AID adoption for Type 2 and benefited from positive pricing. We did experience greater-than-normal seasonality, which we believe was driven by the annual reset of deductibles impacting patient co-pays and co-insurance. These factors contributed to what appears to be a slower start to the year across the U.S. diabetes category. Improving month-on-month trends over the course of the quarter and into April suggests this was a temporary headwind, and we remain confident in our U.S. outlook for the full year. Our upcoming integration with the Libre 3 Plus sensor this quarter will unlock the benefits of Omnipod 5 for the nearly 450,000 people with diabetes currently using the Libre 3 Plus sensor. In U.S. Type 1, we continue to extend our leadership and drive increased penetration with solid growth in our customer base both annually and sequentially. Commercially, we are upscaling our sales force to strengthen our messaging on clinical performance in the field, and we're deploying tools to optimize physician targeting and conversion while expanding reach and frequency. I remain confident in the opportunity to continue to move people with type 1 diabetes from MDI to AID and drive increased penetration. In U.S. Type 2, we continue to expand the category and accelerate adoption from those using MDI. As expected, our Type 2 customer base grew rapidly over the prior year, supported by our prescriber education initiatives and the ADA guideline update, which established AID as the standard of care. We remain confident in the trajectory for U.S. Type 2 AID adoption and in expanding our market leadership position. Notably, Omnipod's first mover advantage gives us a head start in understanding the nuances of this market and in designing targeted initiatives to eliminate the barriers for adoption. For example, access and affordability are even more important for adoption in Type 2 than in Type 1. In fact, our ongoing efforts to increase access and remove prior authorization requirements generated a 4% net access improvement in the first quarter, benefiting an additional 16 million lives. We continue to see a vast opportunity to bring meaningful improvement in both clinical outcomes and quality of life to the millions of people with type 2 diabetes. Moving outside the U.S., our international business delivered another standout quarter, driving significant profitable growth and recording our third consecutive quarter of growth above 40%. We achieved 45% constant currency revenue growth, supported by continued strong year-over-year and sequential growth and new customer starts, as well as positive price mix from the ongoing conversion from Dash to Omnipod 5. We are generating robust growth across our largest and most established European markets, including the UK, France, and Germany, all of which delivered strong first quarter new customer starts, driven in part by our focus on new prescriber activations. In the UK, we achieved record NCF three years into our launch, reflecting the success of our strategy to deepen penetration internationally. We also continue to expand access and reinforce the value of Omnipod 5. In Canada, for example, we secured improved reimbursement and new coverage for Omnipod 5 across four provinces, further fueling our growth. We now have reimbursement approval for 85% of the Canadian market. Looking ahead, we remain on track to launch Omnipod 5 in Spain in the second half of the year. Spain has more than 200,000 people with type 1 diabetes, a high rate of CGM adoption, and one of the lowest levels of AID penetration in our European markets. And in the second half of this year, we plan to launch Libre 3 Plus in Germany and Canada, allowing us to bring Omnipod 5 to new populations as Libre 2 Plus is not available with a pump in either of these markets. Critically, our rapidly growing scale internationally continues to drive operating leverage and significant margin expansion. Our strategy to deepen our penetration in our largest and most established markets is working, and our execution continues to exceed expectations. We continue to see the AID category expand globally. While our success is attracting competition, this further validates and raises awareness of AID and Omnipod, the most recognized brand in the category. We believe this dynamic is good for the category and good for insolent. We are uniquely positioned to meet that worldwide demand at scale, and we are investing in accelerating innovation, strengthening our commercial capabilities, developing our markets, building a world-class team, and scaling our global operations to ensure we continue to benefit disproportionately from category growth. Let me unpack these priorities further. Innovation remains the core driver of our growth strategy, beginning with this year's launch of our second generation algorithm, coupled with our Libre 3 Plus sensor integration and the broader rollout of Omnipod Discover, our new data insights platform. First, let me walk through the specific improvements behind the meaningful Omnipod 5 algorithm enhancements we're launching this quarter. In our simulated analysis, switching the target glucose setting from 120 milligrams per deciliter to our new 100 milligrams per deciliter option delivered an approximately 5% improvement in time and range. This is better performance through a simple setting change with no added user burden. Additionally, we improved the algorithm performance so it now increases the amount of time users spend in automated mode with fewer interruptions during extended high-glucose events. This has been a pain point for prescribers and potters. We are pairing these two launches with an increased focus on clinical education to ensure prescribers understand the strong clinical efficacy and safety profile of Omnipod 5. Algorithm innovation will continue to be a key R&D focus. In fact, we are increasing investments this year to advance our next generation of products. We are making strong progress on our 6th generation Omnipod paired with our 3rd generation algorithm, which is planned to launch in 2027. We are sharing data from STRIVE, our Omnipod 6 pivotal study at ADA in June, which will demonstrate continued improvement in automation and clinical outcomes. This gives us confidence in the durability of our market leadership. Next up is our transformative approach to unlock the type 2 diabetes segment. We are making progress on what we believe will be the first of its kind, truly fully closed loop system for people with type 2 diabetes. We're encouraged by the results from our feasibility study that we presented at ATTD, which highlighted 68% time and range with no boluses. And I'm very pleased to share that just last week we enrolled our first participant in Evolve, our pivotal study to support FDA filing next year and launch in 2028. These new product investments are designed to help us deliver better outcomes enhance the user experience and unlock new market segments accelerating the shift to simpler more intuitive insulin delivery and extending our leadership we also recognize that as this category grows innovation alone is not enough and we are investing in building a top notch team and commercial capabilities to expand the aid market fortify our competitive position and drive rapid adoption. As part of that effort, we recently appointed Mike Panos as Chief Commercial Officer to lead our global commercial organization. Mike brings a proven track record of building and scaling world-class sales teams, driving market expansion, and delivering sustained double-digit growth across leadership categories. Our investments in our brand are also delivering unique commercial value we have the most recognized brand in the category which continues to bring in new users and generate traction with prescribers that our sales force doesn't actively target we regularly activate our number one brand to increase category and brand awareness and this quarter Omnipod's feature appearance on the TV show scrubs was a resounding success at raising awareness and amplifying representation after the show our inboxes were flooded with stories about how meaningful and moving it is to see people with diabetes show up like this living their lives daily with ease these moments also drive action like michelle who has type 1 diabetes and reached out to one of our support specialists online after watching the episode michelle had a script for Omnipod written three years ago, but never moved forward. With this nudge, we successfully reengaged her and got her started on Omnipod. Market development remains a top priority. In addition to the progress on market-specific initiatives that I highlighted earlier, we are seeing strong traction with our global KOL engagement and professional education efforts. We doubled the size of our U.S. peer-to-peer education program in 2025 and expanded it by more than 50% year-over-year this quarter. In Spain, we are investing in key opinion leader education well ahead of the advance to accelerate adoption. As I mentioned earlier, our efforts to improve access, secure new coverage, and strengthen our value to payers are yielding tangible benefits to our growth and sustaining our market-leading U.S. coverage of over 90%. These efforts also support the maintenance of our preferred position in the pharmacy channel amid increasing competitive activity, which validates the value of our pioneering pharmacy pay-as-you-go model. Notably, based on the pricing activity we have seen in this channel to date, we continue to expect rational and disciplined pricing and rebate behavior. We remain focused on educating payers on the clinical and economic value of Omnipod to ensure broad, high-quality access in all markets. Finally, scaling global manufacturing and operations continues to be a priority. We remain focused on quality, reliability, and customer safety. Our team rapidly responded to execute the voluntary medical device correction in March and implemented targeted fixes for the applicable manufacturing process. Manufacturing disposable, sophisticated electromechanical devices at consumer scale and medical quality is a complex process. We continue to believe that our ability to meet the unique manufacturing demands of tubeless AID remains a source of strategic and financial advantage. We have market-leading growth margins driven by our ongoing manufacturing productivity improvements. We continue to ramp our capacity and automation investments in Acton, Malaysia, and Costa Rica to support future growth. In summary, we are executing on each pillar of our strategy, accelerating innovation, developing our markets, strengthening commercial capabilities, building a world-class team, and scaling global growth profitably. Omnipod continues to be the market leader and the disproportionate driver of AID category growth in the U.S. and abroad. Our investments are focused on extending our leadership by deepening differentiation across our platform, while continuing to lighten the burden for people living with diabetes. Our strong results this quarter are testament to the strength of our position, our execution, and our attractive recurring revenue business model. I remain confident in our outlook for the year, our strategic path forward, and our ability to deliver sustained, profitable growth for shareholders and better outcomes for all of our potters. With that, I'll turn the call over to Flavia.

Thank you, Ashley, and good morning, everyone. As Ashley highlighted, the Insulet team delivered a strong start to the year. First quarter total revenues of $762 million increased 34% on a reported basis and 30% on a constant currency basis. And total Omnipod revenue grew 33% on a constant currency basis. In Q1 of 2026, our global customer base grew nearly 25% year-over-year, driven by increased adoption of Omnipod 5 across both the U.S. and international markets. Global new customer starts also increased versus the prior year period, with growth both in the U.S. and internationally. MDI conversions continue to be the primary source of new customer starts, and we expect this to remain the case given the significant underpenetration across our core markets, including U.S. Type 1, U.S. Type 2, and international Type 1 diabetes. Globally, utilization and annualized retention rates remain similar to the prior year period. Now, turning to our performance in greater detail, U.S. Omnipod revenue grew 28% in the first quarter, exceeding the high end of our guidance range, driven by continued demand for Omnipod 5 across both Type 1 and Type 2. The quarter included a benefit of approximately $10 million in revenue related to the timing of certain distributor orders, which we expect to be consumed in the second quarter. Excluding this impact, underlying U.S. revenue growth was approximately 26 percent, coming in at the high end of our guidance. First quarter U.S. new customer starts increased year-over-year, but declined sequentially. As Ashley noted, we attribute the sequential decline to seasonality, driven by the annual reset of deductibles, which impacts patient co-pays and co-insurance. This effect was less evident in 2025, given that we were in the earlier stages of the Type 2 launch. Importantly, we saw U.S. new customer starts ramp through the quarter, and that momentum has continued into the second quarter. international omnipod strength continued in the first quarter with revenue growth of 59 percent on a reported basis and 45 percent on a constant currency basis volume remains the primary driver of international omnipod growth supported by customer expansion across both established and newly launched markets, along with favorable price-mixed benefits from the transition of Dash. Continuing down the P&L, our first quarter gap gross margin was 69.5% and included approximately $12 million of expenses associated with our medical device correction. Our adjusted gross margin was 71 percent, down 90 basis points year over year. During the quarter, we incurred some increased excess and obsolescence costs as we transition to new pod configurations that position us to support Libre3 Plus sensor integration and upcoming algorithm enhancements. These costs negatively impacted adjusted growth margin by more than 150 basis points. After adjusting for this impact, gross margin performance in the quarter was driven by strong top-line growth, continued manufacturing productivity gains, and positive pricing. Turning to OPEX, we continue to invest with intention to both maintain and extend our leadership while remaining disciplined in how we deploy capital. During the quarter, Here, we ramped R&D investments to support our innovation roadmap and advance key clinical development programs, including Omnipod 6 and fully closed-loop for Type 2. These investments position us to continue delivering meaningful innovation over the long run. We also increase SG&A investments as we continue to prioritize market development initiatives to unlock AID penetration and demand generation efforts. We expect to continue ramping investments in sales and marketing as we expand our sales force during the second quarter and prepare for upcoming product launches, including Libre 3 Plus integration and our latest algorithm enhancements. These investments expand our commercial capacity, broaden HCP coverage, and enable us to drive additional new customer starts. First quarter adjusted operating margin expanded 110 basis points to 17.5%, driven by strong top-line growth and SG&A leverage. Our financial strength allows us to continue to invest for future growth while delivering margin expansion. First quarter net interest expense was $9.8 million, an increase of $11 million, primarily driven by our prior year debt refinancing activities and lower interest income. Our first quarter adjusted tax rate was 19.8%, reflecting a benefit from U.S. R&D tax credit and a favorable mix of earnings. First quarter adjusted EPS was $1.42, up approximately 40% from $1.02 in the prior year period. We're well positioned to continue driving strong earnings growth, reflecting the strength of our durable recurring revenue model, our compelling top-line trajectory, and the operating leverage we are generating. Turning to cash and liquidity. During the quarter, we repurchased approximately 1.25 million shares for $300 million. We ended the quarter with $480 million in cash and the full $500 million available under our credit facility. And we generated approximately $90 million in free cash flow in Q1, reflecting our strong operating performance in the quarter. now turning to our outlook for the second quarter and full year 2026 for the second quarter we expect omnipot revenue to grow 21 to 23 percent and total company revenue to grow 20 to 22 percent on a reported basis foreign currency is expected to contribute approximately 100 basis points of benefit to both growth rates. In the U.S., we expect omnipot revenue growth of 18 to 20 percent. This guidance reflects approximately 10 million dollars of revenue that shifted into the first quarter, creating a 200 basis point headwind to second quarter growth. Internationally, we expect omnipot growth of 28 to 30 percent. While growth remains strong, as we discussed last quarter, we expect the pace to moderate as we anniversary successful launches from last year. On a reported basis, foreign currency is expected to provide a favorable impact of approximately 200 basis points on international growth. Turning to our full year 2026 outlook, we now expect total Omnipod revenue growth of 22 to 24 percent and total company revenue growth of 21 to 23 percent, reflecting our strong start to the year. We expect foreign currency to provide a favorable impact of approximately 100 basis points for the full year. For U.S. Omnipod, we continue to expect our revenue to grow 20 to 22 percent we expect year-over-year growth in u.s new customer starts for the year positive pricing and similar utilization trends we do expect retention rates to decrease modestly as our type 2 customer base continues to grow which is why we're investing in programs focus on improving onboarding engagement and long-term retention for international Omnipod we now expect 2026 revenue to grow 26 to 28 percent on a reported basis we expect a favorable impact of approximately 300 basis points from foreign currency we expect year-over-year growth in international new customer starts for the year as we penetrate further in current markets and expand Omnipod 5 into new markets. Omnipod 5 is now available in 19 countries and we will continue to broaden our reach and plan to enter Spain in the second half of 2026. While volume remains the primary driver of our international revenue growth, our guidance also reflects a benefit from positive price mix realization, as customers continue to transition from Omnipod Dash to Omnipod Overall, our international growth guidance assumes similar utilization levels and improved retention for 2026 relative to 2025. Turning to 2026 operating margin. We continue to expect approximately 100 basis points of operating margin expansion for the full year, driven by strong top-line growth and ongoing growth margin expansion while funding a meaningful step up in R&D and continued investments in sales and marketing offset by leverage in G&A. I would note this outlook reflects the E&O costs we absorbed in the first quarter, as well as incremental raw material and shipping costs driven by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Looking at a few items below our operating income, we expect 2026 net interest expense to total approximately $40 million, an increase of approximately $15 million, primarily due to lower interest income. We now expect our 2026 non-GAAP tax rate to be in the range of 21 to 22%, reflecting the lower Q1 tax rate, favorable mix of earnings, and improved utilization of foreign tax credits. Based on these factors, we continue to expect adjusted EPS to increase by more than 25 percent in 2026 we expect free cash flow to be approximately flat from 2025 levels supported by robust growth and continued margin expansion partially offset by a ramp up in capital expenditures to support our continued global manufacturing expansion plan to close we're executing against a clear framework focused on delivering top-tier growth, margin expansion, and increasing free cash flow. This approach underpins durable, long-term value creation while enabling us to expand access to Omnipod for people living with diabetes worldwide. With that, operator, please open the call for questions.

Thank you. We will now begin our question and answer session. I would like to remind participants that this call is being recorded and a digital replay will be available on the Insulet website. Please help us respect time by limiting to one question and one follow-up. The speakers available for Q&A today are Ashley McNaqvalli, Swavia Peace, Eric Benjamin, and Greg Trackman. If you have a question at this time, please press star and the number one on your touchtone telephone. If your question has been answered or you wish to remove yourself from the queue, please press star one again. In the interest of time, we ask that you please limit yourself to one question and one follow-up. You may rejoin the queue if you have additional questions. Our first question comes from David Roman from Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

Thank you. Good morning. I appreciate your taking the questions here. Maybe I'll start with a strategic one and then go on to the financials. Ashley, I think you've been in the role now just about a year. Maybe you could help frame the past year some of your observations here. What's gone in line with your expectations? What's gone better? Where are the areas where you're focused? And how are you kind of framing insulin now that you've been in the role 12 months?

Yeah, thank you, David, for joining. I was just last week, I marked my one year. And I would say that I'm absolutely more confident now than insulin's potential than a year ago. You know us really as this high growth med tech innovator, doubling revenue over the past couple years. So I would say first and foremost, I'm preserving what makes us so special. It's this culture is remarkable and patient-focused, entrepreneurial spirit, and really strong competitive notes, and really just focusing around how we enhance our capabilities to really double the business once again. So maybe it's just helpful to share some of the areas that we've been getting after as a team to unlock more value. I would first start with innovation, and this is about doing things in parallel and at pace to continue our role as the tech leader. So let me give you examples. It's really about being first in line to integrate day one with sensors like we're doing with the Dexcom 15 day and we will do with Abbott's upcoming dual analyte sensor. Algorithms, you know, David, we were slow out of the gate continuously to improve our algorithms. We've addressed that now and we have three algorithm improvements over the next three years. Second is really about international and driving profitable growth globally. So I'm a big believer in going deeper in core markets that matter most versus going broader at this stage. And the UK is a great example of this. We're several years in the OP5 launch. This quarter, we posted record NCS. The third is about our commercial engine and being famous not just as a tech leader, but as a commercial engine. And so we have our second Salesforce expansion we've done in the past 12 months. It's happening this quarter. And as I've been consistently saying, it's really upskilling our fourth to sell clinically. The fourth is really about strengthening our unbelievable foundation on operations as we scale globally. Costa Rica is a really good example of this. We just put in the foundation this quarter. We'll be ready to have a watertight building by year end and go live in 2029. And obviously, it's all about people. You know, I came here and there was a remarkably talented team. And I'm just supplementing that team with some new leaders that have run bigger things and know how to scale so collectively you know we can get after doubling the business again so you know this is what gives me confidence that we're going to continue to grow the category serve more potters and really importantly continue to increase our earnings power you had a second question david yes thank you uh appreciate all the perspective and that does kind of segue to my second question is if you if you take kind of q1 performance in the second quarter guidance into consideration the outlook implies kind of high teams growth in the back half of the year.

Can you help us unpack that a little further on a geographic basis and your confidence in the 20 percent LRT guidance if you exit 2026 potentially below that level and maybe perhaps there's some conservatism in the outlet given the timeline where we are in the year?

David, good morning. It's Flavia. I'll take that one. So to your point, yes, the midpoint of the guidance will imply second-half growth in the high teams, I would first start by saying we're still seeing very, very strong performance in both the U.S. and internationally, and as you saw we just raised our guidance for international and the total company right now. Last year there were a different, and you tried, you asked me to unpack between the two regions, so in the U.S. last year we saw the opposite impact with comps playing a role in how this year first half second half compares to last year first half second half in the international we're going to continue having a favorable impact of price mix realization but it's going to be at a more more moderate pace as we increase penetration of Omnipod size in our international markets so when we look at the comps I do think it's also important to look at dollars of growth when you look at this year in total year we're actually going to be in line at the midpoint of the guidance with the same level of dollar growth that we delivered last year the first half second half is going to be different but the primary driver of that is actually currency if you look at that and look at the the numbers on a constant currency basis we had you know the currency playing a role in the second half of 2025 that was a tailwind and the first half of 2026 again as a tailwind so when you adjust for those things the first half second half phenomena gets a little bit more smooth I would say but importantly let me close where where your question was leading to which is how does this play out in terms of our outlook for next year and beyond that we we share with all of you at the LRP on the sustainability of our 20% we feel very very confident in our ability to drive that 20% and what gives us that confidence are the innovation and commercial catalysts that we're going to continue to execute this year we're launching Libre 3+, which, as you saw in our prepared remarks, expands our time by another 450,000 people with diabetes. We have the algorithm enhancements. Ashley talked about the ones we're launching this year. We're going to continue with Omnipod 6 next year and then fully closed-looped in 2028. And then commercially, in addition to, you know, leaning further on selling clinically and competitively actually also just mentioned that we're going to be expanding our sales force this quarter and as you can imagine the full benefit of that expansion is really only going to be felt mostly next year so we do see that as another tailwind and internationally similarly those new product introductions are also going to have a benefit we're going to launch L3 Libre 3 plus in Germany and Canada these are two markets where there's no Abbott sensor and so that that are compatible with our our product so that again is another expansion of our serviceable market in addition to that we're going to continue to to execute on our playbook of increasing access you saw us just get the benefit of that for Canada this year with expansion of coverage in additional provinces we just launched in the Middle East we're to be launching in spain in the second half so again we feel very very confident that we have the right innovation and commercial levers to continue to support the 20 growth that we put out thanks xavier our next question comes from robbie marcus from jpmorgan please go ahead your line is open oh great uh thanks for taking the questions and uh apologize for the background noise i'm on

team right now. I want to follow up on that last question. As we think about similar dollar growth this year, that does imply deceleration as the sales base gets lower. And you did mention you're going to be exiting sub-20% in the U.S. in the second half this year. So I think the question a lot of investors have is, how do you maintain that 20% growth trade over the LRP if you're decelerating into year-end and dollar growth is not increasing year over year. Maybe just fill us in on the gaps about 2027 and how that improves and then I have a follow-up.

So, Robbie, I think going back to what I just articulated, we will continue to drive the 20% with the innovations that we're launching.

In 2027, we do have Omnipod 6 and the full benefit of the sales force that we're expanding this year um that will be um a tailwind i think i mean robbie just maybe what's helpful is kind of our philosophy of how we set guidance you know a year ago i came in and we got the team together we refined our strategic plan we racked and stacked a whole portfolio of growth opportunities and this led us to really a strengthened conviction in the untouched market opportunity fabi was talking about the high tan low penetration and, quite frankly, our proven track record of unlocking that growth. So this led us to really raise our ambition as a company, which we shared at our IR Day, which is the first one we've done in 10 years in November. And we shared our strategies, our financial algorithm, and then we set our financial targets accordingly. So our goal is to outperform, and our quarter one results reflect this, along with our increasing full-year outlook for the year. So this is just really good momentum, and it gives us confidence in our commitments that we shared at our LSP.

Maybe a quick follow-up. You talked about a slowing market on seasonality and new patient starts in the first quarter. I guess two parts. One, what do you think the market grew? And I know it's hard to give an answer without everybody else reporting yet, but what do you think it grew? Why was it more seasonal than usual? and how do you think your new patient starts USOUs dating first quarter?

Well, obviously, I don't have the market. I mean, the market exit, I would tell you, 24 and 25 at an accelerated rate versus prior years. So, we're encouraged with the continued momentum. Listen, quarter one started off slow because we had higher than usual quarter one seasonality. We attribute this to the reset of deductibles and potentially the ACA transition. But sequentially, every month, we've been getting better. And I feel really good coming out of April as we look to quarter two and for the full year.

Our next question comes from Travis Steed from Bank of America. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

Hey, I wanted to ask about the type two retention comps. It's kind of curious what you're seeing there, you know, why kind of call out flowing. And then when you think about kind of the type two opportunity, is kind of this next kind of five to ten points of the penetration curve, you know, going to be harder to get from the first few points? what they've got over the last year. Just kind of curious how the Type 2 ramp is going.

Yeah, no, thank you, Travis. I mean, our Type 2 momentum remains strong. Our new customer starts in Type 2 grew mean for both year over year in the quarter, despite this Q1 seasonality that I spoke about. When we look at our customer base, we expanded both sequentially as well as year over year. We're very much, Travis, at the early innings of this. I'd say we're about 5% penetration, and CGM is around 55%. And we are actively preparing for a highly transformative launch, where we're going to be sharing our feasibility data at the upcoming ADA, called Evolve. We've just enrolled our first patient last week, and this will be what I call the industry's first truly fully closed-loop system for type 2. And, like, what do I mean by that? It's as CGM-like as you can get. You put it on, no bolus, no user interaction, no settings, which unlock the whole primary care physician audience, and really uber-user consumer-friendly training. So we specifically designed our fully closed loop to unlock that huge TAM in Type 2 where they need it to be a CGM-like experience.

And what about the retention piece?

I would say, listen, we have healthy retentions. We're not seeing any meaningful change over year-to-year. We're getting to know this market, and I would say we're innovating our customer experience model, but from an aggregate basis, our total company, we still have about 90% retention.

Yeah, and Travis, I would just say, I think you were alluding to my prepared remarks. I talked a bit about a slight deterioration in the U.S. as we continue to expand into type two. but this was very much in line with our expectations you know it is a different population and the the retention or attrition is exactly what we expected it would happen and we are pleased also to see that internationally the retention actually as we launched Omnipod in additional markets has improved meaningfully and so on a total company basis as Ashley said retention remains very stable.

Okay. And then what percent of the new starts were type two this quarter? I think I missed that. And then when you think about the seasonality comments, is there any impact on the seasonality from the type one, type two mix or kind of the macro? Just kind of curious to follow up on the seasonality comments.

No, I think, listen, Travis, we had really healthy, I told you, total year-over-year growth. We experienced some softness in a Q1 as a slower start for NTS customer base is strong. You know, I often get asked the question about, like, Type 2, and I told you we've got really strong momentum. I often get asked about, like, the GLPs, is that slowing down the progress in Type 2s? And we did not observe an impact from increased GLP use on Type 2 NCS this quarter. You know, I've always been sharing that we think that GLP 1s are very complementary to AID therapy, not competitive. It's, in fact, what we studied in our secure 2GD trial, and, you know, we see diabetes as a chronic progressive disease, and no date that nobody's been able to show that you can reverse beta cell decline. So, you know, once you get on insulin, AID is really the standard of care for the ADA. And we look, again, at this huge TAM of 5.5 million people with type 2 diabetes using insulin, and yet only 5% or less are using AID. So, we really look to unlock this right now and really drive accelerated penetration when we have our fully closed loop launching in 2020, 2028. Go ahead, Eric.

And Travis, just to build on the numbers, the split of type 1, type 2 NCS was about 40% type 2 NCS in the quarter with similar seasonality.

Our next question comes from Larry Beigelson from Wells Fargo.

Please go ahead. your line is open uh good morning thanks for taking the question i'll just uh keep it to one ashley and and i'm going to try to ask the competition question a little bit differently maybe than it's been asked before so we we understand you know you believe it'll be hard for competitors to manufacture a tubeless pump uh or ramp the manufacturing but i don't think you're saying that there won't be any tubeless competition in the future so my question is as your share of tubeless pumps declines from 100% today? I mean, just mathematically has to go down if there's competition. What offsets that to maintain your 20% growth goal? Is it faster overall pump market growth, or is it a greater shift from tube to tubeless pumps or both? Thanks.

I mean, thanks, Lea, for the question. The short answer is this is not a market share trading. This is about bringing new people into the category and the category expanding as a whole. I mean, we're the market leaders and we have a substantial distance versus the others. And I fully expect us to sustain share leadership. You know, I was talking about we have no intention of seeding our tech leadership. Next year, we're going to be on our sixth generation Omnipod while others attempt to come out with their first. And we know there's been a history of, you know, the competition trying to work on tubeless solutions for decades, which really underscores how hard it is, how complex it is to bring these highly disposable devices to market. There's really a graveyard of a lot of failed attempts. We have a head start of really mastering how to develop and manufacture at scale. And this has given us a remarkable cost advantage and scale advantage. And we've got the earnings power to keep growing. So I think what's really important in this category is to understand that when new entrants enter, all boats rise. This increased promotion and the increased awareness will accelerate category expansion, which is exactly what we're seeing in the Type 2. When you look back from four years ago, we had about 60% of patients coming from MDI into the AID category, and that number is now 80%. So, the category is expanding.

Our next question comes from Matthew O'Brien from Piper Sandler. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

Great. Thanks so much for taking the questions. I'll ask them both up front. I hate to beat this dead horse on new customer starts in Q1, Ashley, but I'm going to. You've got a bunch of new competitors in the pharmacy channel. I just want to make sure there wasn't any kind of disruption maybe early in the quarter as they were pushing on the pharmacy side to show it made it more difficult for you to get patients through the pharmacy channel. And that's why you saw a little bit of softness. And then the second question is there's a lot of investor consternation around the recall. Can you just frame up what you're seeing in the marketplace or from your customers in terms of the recall and the impact it's had on the business and then ability to add new patients?

Yeah, no. Thank you, Matt. Let me first be very clear. In quarter one, we don't think price had an impact. In fact, U.S. pricing for us was positive in quarter one, and we expect this to continue for the full year. What we've been seeing as others have entered the pharmacy channel pricing and rebate behavior has been really rational and disciplined, so we are not seeing significant discounting relative to the norm. Our strategy is about creating durable, high-quality access with broad affordability, so we are not going to trade long-term value for short-term positioning. And I think what's really important to understand that maybe not fully appreciated is the significant size and scale that we benefit from. Our volumes are multiples larger than the nearest competitor. And we don't expect that dynamic to change now or in the foreseeable future. You know, you put that coupled with we're the number one prescribed brand and we are the number one requested. And this is what gives us confidence for pricing going. So important, but we still lead with a competitive advantage there. Let me go to your second question, which is about quality and our recent medical device correction. I would say, hey, listen, in our industry, field actions are a part of being in a health care industry. but it was an absolute tough moment for us and patient safety is always our number one priority we are you know we're monitoring and we're investigating customer complaints routinely i am proud with how our team rapidly responded to the voluntary medical device in march uh we do not believe that the medical device correction did have an impact on ncs in the quarter as i discussed i believe the slowest start was really due to the broader quarter one seasonality and the reset of the deductibles. Now last week was another tough week with the FDA updating its communication about our MDC to reflect our April 10th update and misreported MDRs as SAEs and listen I know this created a bunch of confusion and we're really not happy about that. What's important to know though is no additional adverse events from the MDC have been reported since the April 10th update, and if anything, taking a step back, I think this really enunciates the high level of complexity of manufacturing sophisticated, disposable electromechanical devices at scale, and in our industry, it's not possible to eliminate all risk, but what matters most is how issues are identified and addressed, and in this case, we got after it early with implemented target of corrective actions, and we are going to continue to strengthen and invest tasks in our quality systems and operating controls.

Our next question comes from Jeff Johnson from Baird. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

Thank you. Good afternoon, or good morning, everyone. So, Ashley, I just wanted to follow up on that pricing comment. You said net pricing was up in the U.S. in 1Q. I just want to make sure that's net. That's not a whack comment. That's actually net of rebates up in 1Q. It sounds like you're expecting that to be true for the year as well. And just wondering, you know, we're hearing from a couple of our other companies that we speak with, that they're expecting pharmacy pricing next year on a net basis to also be up again in 27 over 26. I know that's hard to predict at this point, and you won't know until you know later this year, but as we're kind of trying to set up our models for the next year or two, would you still build in kind of flattish pharmacy pricing in the U.S. market over the next couple years? Would that still be kind of how you'd guide us as we build our models over the next couple years?

Yeah, I would say consistent with our investor day, Jeff, we expect pricing to be positive over the next three years, and quarter one is a data point, and we expect that to continue in full year 26. Again, it speaks to just the strength of the clinical and then economic value proposition that AID as a category has for payers and for PBMs.

Okay, and again, just to confirm, That's net, not whack. You're talking.

It is net, Jeff.

Okay. Thank you. And then just on type two, I just want to make sure I understand the retention and utilization comments you're making on the U.S. Utilization was stable, retention maybe under a little bit of pressure. So is that to imply that if I'm a type two patient going on Omnipod 5, I'm using it every day or pretty much normally like a type one, but just more of those type two patients are trying it for three months or six months and then saying, ah, maybe it's not for me. So, utilization when I'm an O5 user is stable, but more of those type twos may be dropping out after three or six or nine months or whatever, not sticking with it. Is that the way to think about what you're trying to communicate today? Thanks.

No, thanks for the question. I think what we're learning in the patient journey of being type two, again, we're sourcing the predominant amount from MDI, is a little bit of the ongoing support it takes them to get them on to pod and the reinforcing support that we need to do really early on. And then it smooths out. And really, there's a learning agility that has to happen early on. And then what we're finding is really good brand loyalty and really good retention over time. It is a bit of a different class than what we said in type one, but overall, very encouraged with the progress that we've had about 18 months into this launch. Do you want to add anything, Eric, to that?

No, I think exactly as you described, we're seeing, as you laid out, utilization for type 2, stable, pretty similar to type 1, and retention, the drop-off, particularly early, getting started a little bit different. And so we're on so that they can stay enduring, happy.

Our next question comes from Jason Bedford from Raymond James. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

Good morning, and thanks for taking the question. Just on the 2Q international growth guide, it implies a bit more of a deceleration than I would have thought, given what was obviously a very strong 1Q. Comp's not too much different. So I guess my question is, one, is there any stocking impact in 1Q that may be related to some of the new international countries? And then two, just outside of the comp, what weighs on 2Q international growth?

Yeah, Jason, I'll take that. So in international, while, as I said, price mix realization will continue to be positive, the pace of it will moderate a little bit as we sort of anniversary some of these launches and continue the evolution of our install base from Dash to Omnipod 5.

The dollars will continue to be sequentially increasing quarter over quarter on a constant currency basis uh but the growth rate as you pointed out will um decelerate our next question comes from shagan singh from rbc please go ahead your line is open great thank you so much i just had a quick follow-up uh the 10 million in revenue that shifted uh into q1 can you just uh you know elaborate on you know what the nature of that was and then with respect to my question um actually i was hoping you could talk a little bit more on the commercial front uh you know you guys are

looking you know you guys are strengthening your message around the algorithm time and range you've called out uh three algorithm launches in the next three years you know how meaningful are those upgrades and the u.s salesforce expansion any way to think about the pace of that and you know should we expect you to continue to do that um throughout 26 thank you thank you shagun let me kind of start with your first one we we had about uh 10 million just from some inventory from that was coming in quarter one it went actualized so it'll come out of quarter two uh but you'll see i mean quarter two we have a really strong uh call we had 29 growth last year so we do have a stronger comp but we see momentum continuing uh in in the u.s you know i think it's important that i just spend a brief moment of you've heard me talk a lot about what are we doing commercially to strengthen our engine and there's a couple things that i would share should go to your point number one is investing in our field it's our number one pnl item and making sure that we are upscaling our force to sell clinically in addition to their beautiful passion of selling our disruptive form factor we've just retrained and retested all of our reps we actually have the largest sales rep force in the category and then we are expanding our call points with improved targeting and segmentation and improving our reach and frequency with uh an expanding prescriber base to your point about clinically you know they've gotten really good momentum of selling our optimized setting improving time and range they're going to be out there this quarter talking about our new lower set point at 100 as well as keeping people more in automated mode we're integrating with libre 3 plus which brings with us 450 000 users from mdi that are on libre 3 who are not on omnipod into our portfolio. You can look at our website, Shagun, I would say, where we're listing all of our updated clinical evidence relative to what's available in the industry. So please take a look at that. And then obviously maintaining our competitive advantage in market access and affordability is a second lever. The third, you heard me talk about this in my remarks, is really about getting our clinical performance out there. We've doubled the amount of our professional events in the past quarter in fact we've significantly invested in 2020 we're around 50 a year we elevated that to about 100 to about 50 a couple years ago we executed 500 peer-to-peer education programs in 2025 really all about clinical performance and the last really is about this brand it was really cool to see us kind of being dropped into culture on scrubs we got a lot of feedback of making the category really accessible to a lot more people. And this is what we will continue to do to grow the category. So, thanks for the question, Shugun.

And we have time for one last question. Our last question will come from Matt Taylor from Jefferies. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

Hi, good morning. Thanks for taking the question. So, I wanted to ask one on the tail end that you called out in 27, specifically on Omnipod 6. Do you expect that launch, I guess, to drive just increased share gains and customer starts, or could you actually get price mix benefits from the launch of Omnipod 6 as well?

You know, I mean, listen, this is going to be our sixth generation. It's really to shore up, to continue to extend our leadership and deliver our role of continuing to build a category and bring people in from MDI. It will have our, Matt, our third algorithm improvement. And again, I come back to the simplicity if you're on MDI, how to keep it really simple. And so this new algorithm is going to have greater automation. It's going to have less policing. It's going to have a reduced user interaction. It was designed exactly to bring more people into the category. We're going to have some of our data shared at the ADA coming up in June of our STRI, which we'll show about our clinical performance. But, you know, the fun thing may be underappreciated, as I would share, is sensors have gotten really small, and our Omnipod 6 also has dramatic improvement in what we call over-the-air improvement so that people can wear it on multiple places of their body. We get a lot of feedback on that. And importantly, we're also moving to a single pod chasey, which allows prescribers to only write one script versus to script regardless of your sensor, and it clearly has a big impact on our supply chain and simplification. Thank you for the question, Matt. So, listen, let me just thank everybody for your questions and engagement, and we are very encouraged by the momentum of the business that we're seeing, and we look forward to updating you on our continued progress. Thanks so much.

Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's conference. Thank you for your participation, and have a wonderful day. You may all disconnect.
