“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 1st, 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.
