GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 reported financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.

Recent Highlights & Accomplishments:

• Received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Eversense® E3 CGM System, offering patients:
  • Fully implantable third generation sensor, with proprietary sacrificial boronic acid (SBA) technology to enhance sensor longevity, demonstrating a mean absolute relative difference (MARD) of 8.5% in the PROMISE Study.
  • Industry leading 6-month sensor wear duration, making Eversense the longest lasting CGM system available, with essentially two sensor insertion and removal procedures per year.
  • Removable smart transmitter, held in place with a mild silicone-based adhesive, providing discreet on-body vibratory alerts and data transmission to a mobile app where glucose values, trends, and alerts are displayed.
• Initiating E3 commercial launch in the U.S. at the beginning of April, with active transition to the 6-month system and retirement of the 90-day system
• Executed consignment agreements with health care professionals to reduce acquisition barriers and expect to begin shipping product next week
• Achieved 8 million additional covered lives with positive coverage decisions from payors including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Medical Mutual of Ohio, and CareSource
• Received CE mark for Eversense NOW Remote Monitoring App for Android users

“Following recent FDA approval, we are excited to make Eversense E3, an industry leading 6-month sensor, available to patients and health care providers in the U.S. in early April. Our partner Ascensia is establishing a newly dedicated CGM commercial organization to drive both adoption and awareness of the Eversense E3,” said Tim Goodnow, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics. “We are excited to continue advancing our long-term implantable sensor pipeline and IDE pivotal study approval for our next-generation one year sensor this year.”

Fourth Quarter 2021 Results:

Total revenue for the fourth quarter was $4.0 million compared to $3.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. This increase was due to the transition of commercial responsibility for Eversense to Ascensia and its orders for distribution in the European Union and in the United States. For the fourth quarter comparisons, U.S. revenue was $0.7 million in 2021 compared to $0.4 million in 2020, and revenue outside the U.S. was $3.3 million in 2021 compared to $3.5 million in 2020.

Fourth quarter 2021 gross loss declined by $3.1 million year-over-year, to $0.5 million, as compared to a gross profit of $2.6 million for the fourth quarter 2020 due to utilization of previously written-off inventory in 2020.

Fourth quarter 2021 sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses decreased by $2.4 million year-over-year, to $5.8 million. The decrease was primarily the result of the transition of sales support to Ascensia for the commercialization of Eversense.

Fourth quarter 2021 research and development expenses increased by $3.0 million year-over-year, to $7.7 million. The increase was due to the expansion of the R&D workforce, and an increase in clinical studies, lab supplies, and contractor expenses.

Net income was $84.4 million, or $0.19 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to a net loss of $101.6 million, or ($0.41) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2020. Net income increased by $186.1 million due to the accounting for embedded derivatives and fair value adjustments.

Full Year 2021 Results:

Total revenue for 2021 was $13.7 million compared to total revenue of $4.9 million in 2020. U.S. revenue was $2.6 million in 2021 versus $1.1 million in 2020. Revenue outside the U.S. was $11.1 million in 2021 versus $3.8 million in 2020. This increase was due to the resumption of post-Covid sales and the transition of commercial responsibility for Eversense to Ascensia. Ascensia assumed commercial responsibilities for Eversense XL outside the U.S. beginning on February 1, 2021 and for the 90-day Eversense product in the U.S. during the second quarter of 2021.

Gross loss for 2021 improved by $16.6 million year-over-year, to $0.8 million. The 2020 gross loss of $17.4 million was largely the result of inventory impairment charges.

Sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses for 2021 decreased by $12.2 million year-over-year, to $29.2 million. The decrease was primarily the result of the reduction in sales support due to the transition of Eversense commercialization responsibility to Ascensia.

Research and development expenses for 2021 increased by $6.8 million year-over-year, to $27.2 million. The increase was due to the expansion of our R&D workforce and various R&D efforts to improve our sensor & transmitter technology in 2021, including the FDA approval of our Eversense E3 system.

Net loss was $302.5 million, or ($.72) per share, in 2021, compared to $175.2 million, or ($0.77) per share, in 2020. Net loss decreased by $127.3 million due to a $149.3 million decrease to other expenses primarily related to the accounting for embedded derivatives and fair value adjustments, partially offset by an increase in expense for the extinguishment and issuance debt.

As of December 31, 2021, cash, cash equivalents, short and long-term investments were $181.8 million and outstanding indebtedness was $107.0 million.

2022 Financial Outlook

Global net revenue to Senseonics for the full year 2022 is expected to be in the range of $14.0 million to $18.0 million.
