FOURTH QUARTER 2017 RESULTS:

Revenue was $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, compared to $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2016.

Fourth quarter 2017 sales and marketing expenses increased $1.6 million year-over year, to $2.4 million. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily driven by an increase in compensation expense associated with hiring efforts to prepare for a commercial launch of Eversense in the United States and to support and expand the distribution of Eversense in Europe.

Fourth quarter 2017 research and development expenses increased $2.9 million year-over-year, to $8.4 million. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily driven by the on-going support of our PMA application as well as additional feasibility trials.

Fourth quarter 2017 general and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million, year-over-year, to $3.8 million. The increase in general and administration expenses was primarily driven by an increase in compensation, legal and other administrative expense associated with supporting operational growth.

Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased $4.1 million year-over year, to $6.9 million, compared to $2.7 million for 2016. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily related to investments in additional headcount in support of the preparation for a potential U.S. commercial launch of Eversense and support of the expanding commercial efforts of Eversense in Europe.

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased $4.4 million year-over-year, to $30.7 million, compared to $26.3 million for 2016.
