Senseonics Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: SENS), a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of the first and only long-term, implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system for people with diabetes, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Recent Highlights & Accomplishments:

• Completed the PROMISE study generating data to be included in the FDA Premarket Approval application for the Eversense XL system, for use up to 180 days, in the U.S. with expected filing in late summer
• Medicare Administrative Contractors (MAC) published favorable draft Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for implantable CGM devices. Four of seven MACs removed implantable CGM procedure codes from non-coverage LCDs; three more MACs expected to take the same steps
• Received positive coverage decisions for Eversense from several Blue Cross Blue Shield Plans providing access to nearly 10 million covered lives, bringing total covered lives in the U.S. to 171 million
• Commenced process to explore strategic alternatives to enhance stakeholder value
• Entered into credit facilities providing $15.0 million of immediate liquidity and access to an additional $5.0 million

"In the second half of March we began to experience significant dislocation in the market because of the isolation efforts to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. As part of the public health considerations in response to the pandemic, most endocrinology clinics transitioned to telehealth interactions with patients, greatly limiting in-person visits and significantly reducing health care providers' ability to insert sensors for patients," said Tim Goodnow, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics. "These challenging market circumstances in combination with our financial situation led the Board to the decision to explore strategic alternatives for the company. Concurrent with this process we took steps to reorganize and reprioritize our corporate initiatives. To operate in the most efficient manner moving forward we have temporarily suspended commercial activities in the U.S. for new patients and have shifted our focus to long-term value creation through product development and market access. We remain committed to supporting our current patient base and ensuring the success of Eversense in the marketplace."

First Quarter 2020 Results:

In the first quarter of 2020, total net revenue was $36 thousand compared to total net revenue of $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2019. U.S. net revenue was $24 thousand after accounting for gross to net reductions, primarily related to the Eversense Bridge Program and COVID-19 relief concessions offered to several strategic fulfillment partners for allowances up to a specified amount if they are unable to sell-through Eversense given the current healthcare environment. Net revenue outside the U.S. was $12 thousand due to the deferral of orders by Roche. Gross revenue for the first quarter of 2020 was $2.0 million, nearly all of which was generated in the U.S.

First quarter 2020 gross profit decreased by $16.3 million year-over-year, to ($19.6) million. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to increased cost of sales as a result of impairment charges for inventory and related assets reflecting uncertainty in demand forecasts from changes made to our operational focus and current economic conditions.

First quarter 2020 sales and marketing expenses decreased by $1.7 million year-over-year, to $11.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower consulting and marketing expenses, offset slightly by severance expenses due to the recent changes in commercial activities.

First quarter 2020 research and development expenses increased by $0.3 million year-over-year, to $7.4 million. The increase was primarily driven by PROMISE clinical study costs and personnel related expenses, offset slightly by a decline in general research and development activities.

First quarter 2020 general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.8 million year-over-year, to $5.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in personnel related expenses.

Net loss was $42.6 million, or $0.21 per share, in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $29.4 million, or $0.17 per share, in the first quarter of 2019.

As of March 31, 2020, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $18.8 million and outstanding indebtedness was $98.7 million. Subsequent to the quarter, the Company entered into two credit facilities providing immediate gross proceeds of $15.0 million and access to an additional $5.0 million. Pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program, the Company received $5.8 million of financing to support payroll costs and other allowable expenses as defined under the program. As of April 30, 2020, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were approximately $30 million.

2020 Financial Outlook

On March 26, 2020, the company withdrew its financial guidance because of the market disruption and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, Senseonics reports revenue in its financial statements on a net basis, which takes into account gross to net reductions resulting from discount programs, such as the Eversense Bridge Program. To supplement its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present total revenue, net, Senseonics is also providing investors with gross revenue and U.S. gross revenue. These measures do not reflect the gross to net reductions from these discount programs and, accordingly, may be considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and Senseonics' non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Senseonics uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making. Senseonics' management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Senseonics' performance and provide better transparency on the impact of reimbursement and the Eversense Bridge Program. Senseonics believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Senseonics' performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measures at the end of this press release.
