[{"type":"text","content":"PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Embecta Corp. (“embecta” or the \"Company\") (Nasdaq: EMBC), one of the largest pure-play diabetes care companies in the world, today reported financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2023. \"Following our solid first quarter performance, I am pleased to say that our second quarter results have once again exceeded our internal expectations,\" said Devdatt (Dev) Kurdikar, Chief Executive Officer of embecta. \"We remain focused on executing our three key strategic priorities: strengthening our base business, separating and standing up embecta as an independent company, and investing for growth. During the second quarter, we made progress in each of these areas, as evidenced by our strong revenue performance; exiting additional transition service agreements with BD; and advancing our insulin patch pump program, including reaching an agreement with an innovative third-party algorithm developer. Given our financial performance during the first half of the year, coupled with our outlook for the remainder of the year, we are once again raising our guidance for our key financial metrics.\" embecta spun off from Becton, Dickinson and Company (\"BD\") on April 1, 2022 (the \"Separation Date\"). Financial results during the pre-spin period were presented on the carve-out basis of accounting and do not purport to reflect what embecta’s financial results would have been had embecta operated as a standalone public company.
