SENS Senseonics Holdings Inc

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.”
