GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: SENS), a medical technology company focused on the design, development and commercialization of a long-term, implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system for people with diabetes, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

RECENT HIGHLIGHTS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

  • First quarter 2019 revenue of $3.4 million
  • Launched Eversense Bridge Patient Access Program to expand Eversense access for patients across the U.S.
  • Received positive coverage decision for Eversense from Techniker, the largest payor in Germany covering over 10 million lives
  • Initiated Eversense CGM data integration with the Glooko platform to provide patients and providers insights and actions for diabetes management based on personal glucose profiles

“We are pleased with our progress this year, which is marked by growing interest and support of Eversense from users, prescribers and payors,” said Tim Goodnow, President and Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics. “We are seeing meaningful growth in both covered lives and new users through our European partners. In the U.S., the launch of the Eversense Bridge Patient Access Program is simplifying the reimbursement process for new patients and supporting their ability to act on the interest we see across patients and providers. It is also enabling additional opportunities to get in front of the largest national payors. Through constructive experiences with these payors, we believe that we will obtain additional positive coverage decisions in the future. We are looking forward to building on this momentum.”

FIRST QUARTER 2019 RESULTS:

Revenue was $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2019 including adjustments for the bridge program, compared to $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2018.

First quarter 2019 gross profit decreased by $2.9 million year-over year, to ($3.3) million. The decrease in gross profit was associated with one-time component obsolescence due to product upgrades and product expiry due to the timing of the extension of the company’s distribution agreement with Roche.

First quarter 2019 sales and marketing expenses increased $9.4 million year-over year, to $12.8 million. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily driven by the build out of the U.S. salesforce.

First quarter 2019 research and development expenses decreased $1.0 million year-over-year, to $7.1 million. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily driven by the completion of all activities associated with the U.S. PMA Panel meeting for Eversense.

First quarter 2019 general and administrative expenses increased $2.5 million, year-over-year, to $6.5 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 $29.4 million, or $0.17 per share, in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $22.3 million, or $0.16 per share, in the first quarter of 2018.

As of March 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were $103.7 million and outstanding indebtedness was $65.2 million.

2019 Financial Outlook

Revenue for full year 2019 is expected to be in the range of $25 to $30 million.
