Legal Proceedings
On December 3, 2024, a jury verdict was returned in favor of the Company in the matter of Insulet Corporation vs. EOFlow Co., Ltd. et al. pending in the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts Case No. 1:23-cv-11780. The jury found that EOFlow Co., Ltd. (“EOFlow”) and several other defendants misappropriated certain of the Company’s trade secrets. The jury awarded the Company $170 million in compensatory damages from EOFlow and an additional $282 million in exemplary damages from EOFlow for willful and malicious misappropriation, for a total damages award of $452 million. On January 24, 2025, EOFlow moved for a directed verdict and for a new trial, as well as for a reduction of the jury award. On January 24, 2025, the Company moved for a permanent worldwide injunction on the sale of EOFlow’s EOPatch 2 product and any other products that embody Insulet’s trade secrets. EOFlow and other defendants may seek to appeal the verdict. EOFlow may not be able to satisfy this damage award; accordingly, it has not been recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of income.
In June 2020, Roche Diabetes Care, Inc. (“Roche”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that the Company’s manufacture and sale of its Omnipod Insulin Management System, including Pods, PDMs, and other components of the system, and kits in the United States infringed Roche’s now-expired U.S. Patent 7,931,613. Roche was seeking monetary damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. In July 2022, the Company entered into a Settlement and License Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Roche to settle the pending litigation. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, in exchange for a release of claims, mutual covenant not to sue for five years, and license to the patent in suit from Roche, the Company made a one-time payment of $20.0 million to Roche. On July 12, 2022, following the filing by the parties of a Stipulation of Dismissal, the Court ordered the case dismissed with prejudice. The $20.0 million charge is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company is, from time to time, involved in the normal course of business in various legal proceedings, including intellectual property, contract, employment, and product liability suits. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.
Contract Dispute
Throughout 2022, the Company was engaged in negotiations over a contractual dispute involving in-licensed intellectual property. In December 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Automated Glucose Control LLC (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company made a one-time payment of $25.0 million for the acquisition of developed technology and patents and the release of future obligations, including any future royalty obligations. This amount, together with transaction costs, was allocated between the assets acquired and the settlement of the contractual dispute. A value of $12.0 million was allocated to acquired developed technology and a value of $9.5 million was allocated to acquired patents. The acquired developed technology and patents are being amortized over their useful lives of 13 years. The remaining $3.6 million was allocated to the settlement and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Letters of Credit
The Company had $0.8 million and $20.9 million of letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2023 primarily served as security for our manufacturing facility in Malaysia until we purchased the property in 2024.
