The Germantown, Maryland-based continuous glucose monitoring technology developer yesterday evening posted profits of $103.9 million, or 22¢ per share, on sales of $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, for a massive bottom-line gain from losses of more than $180 million this time last year on sales growth of 12.9%.
Senseonics attributed its $284.5 million increase in net income to the accounting for embedded derivatives and fair value adjustments.
Adjusted to exclude one-time items, the company posted losses of 3¢ per share, coming in 3¢ behind expectation on Wall Street, where analysts were looking for sales of $4.4 million.
“The first half of the year was focused on building the foundation to increase global patient adoption of our next generation, longer duration E3 system, with the U.S. launch and the European CE mark,” Senseonics President and CEO Tim Goodnow said in a news release. “As we execute this plan, we realized several second quarter accomplishments — inserting the first U.S. E3 patients, building brand awareness, increasing patient access through payor coverage policy transitions, scaling up manufacturing and advancing 365-day system program feasibility studies.
“We are encouraged by the early progress of the E3 launch and look forward to continued collaboration with Ascensia to deliver the benefits of Eversense to more patients and providers.”
Senseonics reiterated its full-year 2022 guidance for global revenues between $14 million and $18 million.
