Recent Highlights & Accomplishments:
"In the third quarter, we experienced growth in our covered lives, prescriber base and installed patient base," said Tim Goodnow, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics. "We will continue to focus on creating more access to our technology and addressing barriers through innovative initiatives to add to our patient and inserter base. We have now structured our workforce to focus on these commercial priorities and manage expenses to extend our cash runway. We are confident that our efforts to remove barriers to access combined with recent positive coverage decisions such as those from Humana, HCSC and Medicare will help accelerate market adoption in 2020 and in the future." Third Quarter 2019 Results: In the third quarter of 2019, total revenue, net was $4.3 million, which includes U.S. net revenue of $0.5 million after accounting for gross to net reductions, primarily related to the Eversense Bridge Program and OUS net revenue of $3.8 million, compared to total revenue, net of $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2018. Gross revenue for the third quarter of 2019 was $5.9 million, including U.S. gross revenue of $2.1 million. Third quarter 2019 gross profit decreased by $0.8 million year-over-year, to ($3.3) million. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to lower revenue, net in our OUS region compared to the same period in the prior year. Third quarter 2019 sales and marketing expenses increased by $3.7 million year-over-year, to $11.6 million. The increase was due primarily to the build out of the salesforce and commercialization efforts in the U.S. Third quarter 2019 research and development expenses increased by $3.7 million year-over-year, to $11.1 million. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily driven by expenses associated with the 180-day PROMISE clinical study. Third quarter 2019 general and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million year-over-year, to $5.4 million. Net loss was $19.5 million, or $0.10 per share, in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $31.9 million, or $0.18 per share, in the third quarter of 2018. As of September 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were $130.6 million and outstanding indebtedness was $143.6 million. Over $100 million in gross proceeds were raised through a combination of borrowings under a term loan agreement and the issuance of convertible debt and equity in July 2019. 2019 Financial Outlook Net revenue for full year 2019 (after accounting for the gross to net reductions primarily related to the Eversense Bridge Program) is now expected to be in the range of $20 to $22 million. This compares to the previous guidance of $25 to $30 million. Gross revenue is expected to be in the range of $25 to $27 million for full year 2019. A reconciliation of net revenue to gross revenue on a forward-looking basis is presented below under the heading "Reconciliation of Forecasted Revenue, Net to Forecasted Gross Revenue."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In accordance with U.S. GAAP, Senseonics reports revenue in its financial statements on a net basis, which takes into account gross to net reductions resulting from discount programs, such as the Eversense Bridge Program. To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and present total revenue, net, Senseonics is also providing investors with gross revenue and U.S. gross revenue. These measures do not reflect the gross to net reductions from these discount programs and, accordingly, may be considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and Senseonics' non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Senseonics uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making. Senseonics' management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Senseonics' performance and provide better transparency on the impact of reimbursement and the Eversense Bridge Program. Senseonics believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Senseonics' performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measures at the end of this press release.
