Senseonics Holdings, Inc. Announces Business Updates Including Preliminary 2024 Results, 365 Launch Update and Cancellation of Special Meeting

GERMANTOWN, Md., Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: SENS), a medical technology company focused on the development and manufacturing of long-term, implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems for people with diabetes, today announced operational, financial and other business updates.

Recent Highlights & Accomplishments

• Generated preliminary unaudited fourth quarter revenue of approximately $8.3 million, and preliminary unaudited full year 2024 total revenue of approximately $22.5 million
• Received FDA approval for Eversense^® 365 Continuous Glucose Monitoring system and launched Eversense 365 with commercial partner, Ascensia.
• Patient base increased 56% in 2024 over 2023 to approximately 6,000 global patients
• Reached a milestone of over a 1,000 annual U.S. Eversense prescribers during 2024
• Continued strong interest in Eversense 365, as evidenced by the following early U.S. launch performance indicators:
  • Direct to Consumer (DTC) leads have doubled in Q4 compared to the pre-launch third quarter
  • New patient shipments of approximately 600 in December were the highest monthly total in the Company’s history
  • The number of patients switching to Eversense from competitive CGM’s has increased 49% since Eversense 365 launch
  • 118% increase in patient referrals from physicians since launch
• Following recent appreciation in Company’s share price, determined not to proceed with previously announced Special Meeting of stockholders to consider reverse stock split.

“2024 was a tremendous year for Senseonics, achieving our long-term goal of commercializing the Eversense 365 product, providing people with diabetes a convenient and accurate solution for monitoring blood glucose for an entire year with a single sensor. Additionally, we’ve strengthened our position in the marketplace through the newly created CGM division of our commercial partner, Ascensia, and our partnership with Mercy health system, targeted to proactively improve health outcomes and decrease overall systemwide costs for people with diabetes,” said Tim Goodnow, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics. “Patient and provider leads, conversion rates, and interest from health systems have all increased significantly since the U.S. 365 launch, culminating in the highest number of monthly new patient shipments in December 2024, and we expect to see those numbers continue to accelerate in 2025. We also expect to provide updates on pump-connectivity, additional health care systems and our ex-US launch over the course of the year.”

2024 Financial Results

The Company currently expects to report revenues of approximately $8.3 million for the fourth quarter 2024 and full year 2024 total revenue of approximately $22.5 million. Total unaudited operating expenses and associated cash utilization for the fourth quarter 2024 and full year 2024 was consistent with the previously guided range. The Company’s unaudited balance of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2024, is expected to be approximately $74.9 million. The Company expects to report its full fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024 financial results later this quarter. The preliminary financial results described in this update have not been audited and are subject to adjustment based on the Company’s completion of year-end financial close processes.

Cancellation of Special Meeting of Stockholders

The Company has determined not to proceed with the Special Meeting, scheduled for January 10, 2025, for the purpose of seeking shareholder approval of a proposed reverse stock split within the range of 25:1 to 50:1. Since announcing the proposed stock split on November 19, 2024 in parallel with the ongoing launch of the 365-day product the Company’s share price has increased. As of January 7, 2025, proxies had been received from sufficient stockholders to constitute a quorum for the meeting, with a majority of such shares voting in favor of the proposed reverse stock split as of such date. However, after assessing the pricing implications of a reverse split at the lowest end of the proposed range of stock splits, and taking into consideration shareholder feedback regarding conducting a reverse split of at this time, the Company determined not to proceed with the Special Meeting and the proposed reverse stock split.

Considerations for 2025 Growth Outlook

The Company also plans to provide financial guidance for 2025 in conjunction with its reporting of full fiscal year 2024 financial results. The Company currently expects that the 2025 guidance will reflect positive revenue growth in 2025 over 2024, taking into account the following factors, among others: (i) Ascensia’s completion of financial forecasts for their fiscal year beginning on April 1^st, 2025, (ii) plans with respect to spending on the DTC marketing campaign to generate leads, (iii) the status of other sales and marketing initiatives, and (iv) refined visibility of the timeline and specifications for the regulatory submission and the plans for commercial transition to Eversense 365 outside the United States.
