Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SENSEONICS HOLDINGS, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL RESULTS
GERMANTOWN, MD, May 4, 2017 —Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE-MKT: 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
RECENT HIGHLIGHTS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
| · | | Broadening commercial launch in Germany and Sweden with distributors planning to be in eight European countries by mid-year 2017. |
| · | | Received CE Mark for the second generation Eversense® Smart Transmitter in February 2017. This redesigned transmitter is slimmer, lighter and water-resistant for added convenience and comfort in use. |
| · | | Initial preparations underway for U.S. commercial infrastructure through addition of industry veteran Mike Gill as Vice President of Sales. Mr. Gill previously built and managed commercial efforts for Medtronic Diabetes Americas Region to sales of over $1 billion in insulin pump and CGM sensors. |
| · | | Anticipate Eversense XL CGM System approval in Europe in the coming months, which would extend the sensor life label for up to 180-day use, as the CE Mark amendment for this version is under review. |
“We are excited about our strong start in 2017, building and expanding our commercial presence in Europe. With CE mark approval for our second generation smart transmitter, we are also moving forward on clinical and regulatory milestones,” said Tim Goodnow, President and Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics. “We continue to work closely with the FDA towards the approval of our PMA for Eversense, and we are pleased to begin building the infrastructure for initial commercial launch preparation in the United States. We look to accelerate this positive momentum throughout the rest of the year.”
FIRST QUARTER 2017 RESULTS:
Revenue was $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2017. There was no revenue in the first quarter of 2016.
First quarter 2017 sales and marketing expenses increased $0.5 million year-over year, to $1.1 million, compared to $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2016. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily related to investments in additional headcount and costs to support the expanded commercial launch of Eversense in Europe. On a sequential quarter comparison, first quarter 2017 sales and marketing expenses increased $0.4 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2016.
First quarter 2017 research and development expenses increased $0.6 million year-over-year, to $7.0 million, compared to $6.4 million for the first quarter of 2016. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily driven by product development expenses for future versions of Eversense. On a sequential quarter comparison, first quarter 2017 research and development expenses increased $1.5 million, or 27%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2016.
First quarter 2017 general and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million, year-over-year, to $3.8 million, compared to $3.9 million for the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in general and administration expenses was driven primarily by a decrease in stock based compensation costs offset by increased costs in other expenses to support administration. On a sequential quarter comparison, first quarter 2017 general and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million, or 27%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2016.
Net loss was $13.1 million, or $0.14 per share, in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $11.2 million, or $0.15 per share, in the first quarter of 2016. First quarter 2017 net loss per share was based on 93.9 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to 77.3 million weighted average shares outstanding in the first quarter of 2016.
As of March 31, 2017, cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $13.8 million and outstanding indebtedness was $25 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $37.4 million and outstanding indebtedness of $10 million, as of March 31, 2016.
