DarioHealth Reports Results For Second Quarter 2019

Global digital therapeutics innovator DarioHealth Corp. (Nasdaq: DRIO), today reported financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

CEO, Erez Raphael, stated, “During this quarter, we strengthened our platform technology by expanding its application to hypertensive patients, presenting new significant data for people with diabetes that supports meaningful clinical outcomes and increases the basic functionality through its use on the Android phone in Europe. All of these initiatives created a better technology for a broader patient base who benefit from active management of their chronic diseases.

During this quarter, we witnessed concrete evidence from our pipeline of payers, employers, and providers of their growing demand for value and accountability driven healthcare, enabled by the user-centric and evidence-based solutions that Dario provides.

As our focus shifts to take advantage of these market tailwinds and our business-to-business (B2B) pipeline activity accelerates, we will continue to support our direct-to-consumer (D2C) sales and marketing initiatives but with budgets weighted towards broader B2B business development. The resulting benefits will be measurable in terms of larger patient adoption, more certain revenue streams and lower customer acquisition costs.

While this evolution of our business model may result in reduced near term revenues such as in this quarter, we are confident that in the long term our product and this strategy will maximize its market adoption for patient-centric management of chronic diseases. We believe that the maturity of our B2B pipeline will soon allow us to resume the type of double-digit quarterly growth experienced in the first quarter of this year.

This balancing of resources from D2C to B2B has the additional benefit of a reduction in our burn-rate. As a result, we expect significant reductions in our net quarterly loss in the second half of 2019.

Management’s continued acceptance of a portion of its compensation in shares is another ongoing contributor to a reduced cash burn and a reflection of our management’s belief in Dario’s future.

As we assess the global healthcare market and Dario’s place in it, we are more confident than ever that we have built a platform technology which will deliver better care at a lower cost for patients with chronic diseases.

We are excited to share more developments over the remainder of the year as we continue executing our strategic plan, creating value for all stakeholders.

Financial Guidance

Dario believes its strategy of focusing more resources in the B2B channel, over time, will lead to broader penetration, higher revenues and greater operating leverage of its sophisticated platform technology for managing chronic diseases. While the B2B market involves longer sales cycles, and initially less predictable revenue streams, Dario will be announcing some new relationships in the coming months as evidence of our work that began in the second quarter of this year. As a result, the Company anticipates higher revenues and reduced losses in the second half of 2019 driven by both continued D2C channels and new B2B channel initiatives. – PR Newswire
