Omnipod Sales Drive Strong Quarter
Total Omnipod revenue increased 24.6% to $795.9 million. U.S. Omnipod revenue rose 20.1% to $544.1 million, while international Omnipod revenue jumped 35.5% to $251.8 million. Drug Delivery revenue declined to $5.8 million from $10.2 million a year earlier.

During the quarter, Insulet expanded Omnipod 5 into Spain, making it available in its 20th country, launched a next-generation algorithm for its automated insulin delivery system, and presented new data supporting its Omnipod 6 and fully closed-loop technology pipeline at the American Diabetes Association’s 2026 Scientific Sessions.
“We delivered another quarter of broad-based growth, robust margin expansion, and positive free cash flow,” CEO Ashley McEvoy said. She added that while the company is updating its outlook based on what it is learning as it expands in the Type 2 diabetes market, its long-term growth opportunity remains unchanged.
Insulet ended the second quarter with $534.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, down from $716.1 million at the end of 2025. The company generated $202.2 million in operating cash flow during the first six months of 2026 and reported free cash flow of $145.4 million.
