“2023 was a successful year across the business for Senseonics. We completed the ENHANCE clinical trial and data analysis to support the imminent FDA submission for our 365-day system, secured expanded Eversense coverage from UnitedHealthcare and Medicare, and strengthened our balance sheet to provide additional financial flexibility to continue executing our business plan,” said Tim Goodnow, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics. “We are excited about Ascensia’s appointment of Brian Hansen, an industry veteran in the diabetes space with a successful track record of commercializing advanced technologies, who we believe can lead the acceleration of adoption of Eversense. We believe the robust Eversense product innovation cycle, including expected approvals of the iCGM designation for the 180-day product and the 365-day product and the anticipated commercial launch of the 365-day product in Q4, will offer substantial additional benefits to diabetes patients and positions Senseonics for its next phase of growth.”

Fourth quarter 2023 gross profit of $1.1 million increased from $0.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by an increase in revenue as volumes increased.

Fourth quarter 2023 sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.5 million year-over-year, to $7.3 million. The reduction was the result of efforts to manage other general and administrative costs across the organization.

Fourth quarter 2023 research and development expenses decreased by $0.9 million year-over-year, to $10.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to the completion of the ENHANCE pivotal trial.

Net loss was $17.2 million, or $0.03 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to net income of $11.6 million, or $0.02 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2022. Net income decreased by $28.8 million due to the accounting for embedded derivatives, fair value adjustments and the exchange of a portion of the 2025 notes.
