(NYSE American: SENS), a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of a long-term, implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system for people with diabetes, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2018.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

“We are pleased with 2018 which was a milestone year for Senseonics highlighted by FDA approval of the Eversense system, the build out of our commercial organization, and continued penetration in Europe” said Tim Goodnow, President and Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics. “We continue to learn and adapt from the launch of this highly innovative product and expect real-world experience to drive patient and clinician demand for Eversense. With additional coverage policy wins and raising awareness of the benefits of a long-term implantable CGM, we are confident we have the strategy and team in place to accelerate adoption and help more patients manage their diabetes.”

FOURTH QUARTER 2018 RESULTS:

Revenue was $7.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2017.

Fourth quarter 2018 sales and marketing expenses increased $7.9 million year-over year, to $10.3 million. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily driven by an increase in compensation expenses associated with new hires supporting the commercial launch of Eversense in the U.S. and to support and expand the distribution of Eversense^® XL in Europe.

Fourth quarter 2018 research and development expenses decreased $0.3 million year-over-year, to $8.1 million. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily driven by the completion of all activities associated with the U.S. PMA approval, including preparation for the FDA panel held in the first quarter of 2018.

Fourth quarter 2018 general and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million, year-over-year, to $5.3 million. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by an increase in compensation, legal and other administrative expenses associated with supporting operational growth.

Net loss was $7.3 million, or $0.04 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $16.3 million, or $0.12 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2017. Fourth quarter 2018 net loss per share was based on 176.9 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to 136.8 million weighted average shares outstanding in the fourth quarter of 2017.

FULL YEAR 2018 RESULTS:

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $18.9 million, compared to $6.4 million in 2017.

Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased $20.8 million year-over year, to $27.7 million, compared to $6.9 million for 2017. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily related to investments in additional headcount to support the U.S. commercial launch of Eversense and support of the expanding commercial efforts for Eversense XL in Europe.

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased $1.2 million year-over-year, to $31.9 million, compared to $30.7 million for 2017. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily driven by product development expenses for future versions of Eversense and clinical trial costs related to the PMA approval of Eversense in the U.S.

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased $4.5 million, year-over-year, to $19.8 million, compared to $15.3 million for 2017. The increase in general and administrative expenses was driven primarily by an increase in personnel-related expenses, increased facility expenses and increased legal and audit expenses.

Net loss was $94.0 million, or $0.60 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $59.1 million, or $0.51 per share, for 2017. Net loss per share for 2018 was based on 157.4 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to 116.0 million weighted average shares outstanding for 2017.
