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 provided commercial updates related
to the Eversense® 365 launch.
Eversense 365 Commercial Launch
Update
- Launched Eversense 365 in October with
global commercial partner Ascensia Diabetes Care and began shipping
product in November
- Seeing strong interest in Eversense
365, as evidenced by the following early launch performance
indicators:
- Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) leads in each
of October and November were more than double the number of leads
in pre-launch months
- New patient shipments in November were
the highest compared to any month since inception of the Ascensia
partnership
- Since launch, Eversense 365 has
already shown a 42% increase in the number of providers prescribing
Eversense and a 69% increase in prescriptions from top prescribers
compared to the pre-launch rate in 2024
- One-third of Eversense 365 prescribers
are new first-time Eversense prescribers
- The number of patients switching to
Eversense monthly from competitive CGMs has increased 47% since
Eversense 365 launch
- Remain on-target to achieve annual
growth of approximately 50% in patient installed base at the end of
2024 as compared with 2023
- Reiterated full-year 2024 global net
revenue guidance of approximately $22 million
Brian Hansen, President of Ascensia’s CGM division,
commented, “We are thrilled to have a world-class product that so
fully addresses patient needs for a long-term CGM, with minimal
data disruptions and complete flexibility. Patients have been
elated with Eversense 365’s reduction in calibration and ease of
use, and providers are getting the consistent flow of data required
to manage their patients’ disease. We believe this is driving the
double-digit growth in monthly patients since 365 launch switching
from competitive CGMs--and a triple-digit increase in Type 2 basal
only patients, the largest market segment opportunity. Eversense
365 is really a win-win for everyone, and our strong early launch
performance indicators are showing meaningful improvement in the
key metrics we track.”
“2024 has been a landmark 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,” said Tim Goodnow, PhD, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Senseonics. “We are excited to see the strong
early performance indicators that we believe reflect the commercial
potential of this ground-breaking product. Patient and provider
leads and new interest from health systems have all increased
significantly following 365 launch, and we expect that a heightened
level of interest will drive our results for 2025. We intend to
provide updates on the ongoing 365 launch, as well as on our
product portfolio development, pump-connectivity, additional health
care systems, and our ex-US commercial launch of Eversense 365 over
the course of 2025.”
“Additionally, in an effort to enhance Senseonics’
appeal to institutional and other investors, we are seeking to
execute a reverse stock split, pending shareholder approval, in
January 2025,” continued Dr. Goodnow. “We understand that many
institutional investors and other funds have internal policies and
practices that limit their ability to invest in low-priced stocks,
and we are seeking a reserve stock split to overcome these
limitations, which we believe will address this impediment and make
it easier for these investors to invest in Senseonics stock.”
About SenseonicsSenseonics

focused on the development and manufacturing of glucose monitoring
products designed to transform lives in the global diabetes
community with differentiated, long-term implantable glucose
management technology. Senseonics' CGM systems
Eversense® 365 and

automatically sent every 5 minutes to a mobile app on the user's
smartphone.
About EversenseThe
Eversense® Continuous Glucose Monitoring
(CGM) Systems are indicated for continually measuring glucose
levels for up to 365 days for Eversense® 365
and 180 days for Eversense® E3 in persons
with diabetes age 18 and older. The systems are indicated for use
to replace fingerstick blood glucose (BG) measurements for diabetes
treatment decisions. Fingerstick BG measurements are still required
for calibration primarily one time per week after day 14 for
Eversense® 365 and one time per day after day
21 for Eversense® E3, and when symptoms do
not match CGM information or when taking medications of the
tetracycline class. The sensor insertion and removal procedures are
performed by a health care provider. The Eversense CGM Systems are
prescription devices; patients should talk to their health care
provider to learn more. For important safety information,
