NEW YORK, May 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ:DRIO) ("Dario" or the "Company"), a leader in the global digital health market, today reported financial results for the first quarter 2023 and provided a corporate and commercial update.

"During the first quarter, we continued to improve the financial profile of the Company as we capitalized on the growing demand for digital health solutions in the employer and health plan markets," stated Erez Raphael, Chief Executive Officer of Dario. "We generated sequential growth in revenue, improved gross margins and reduced operating expenses as our new business model matures. The strategic shift continues to yield results as we reduced our operating loss and net loss by 21.8% and 21.6% respectively, as compared to the first quarter of 2022, reflecting the higher profitability of the commercial channel.

"Business-to-Business (B2B) revenues continued to increase, representing approximately 70% of our total revenue during the first quarter, up from 56% in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in B2B share of total revenue reflects what we believe are growing trends in the market favoring Dario's single, integrated, multi-condition digital health platform.

"We were very pleased to complete a successful private placement offering of convertible preferred stock along with a concurrent refinancing of our credit facility which together adds significant runway which is expected to extend through late 2025. We believe that our strategy is working, and with our strengthened balance sheet and the significantly reduced cash burn, I believe Dario is well positioned to lead the market for integrated digital health solutions," Mr. Raphael concluded.

"Our partnership strategy continues with the addition of American Well Corporation (Amwell), a leading digital care delivery enablement platform, which will integrate our cardiometabolic solution into its offering," stated Rick Anderson, President of Dario. "Our agreement with Amwell represents a substantial opportunity for Dario with an installed base of approximately 2,000 health plans and hospitals that reach over 90 million lives. Amwell joins a growing list of strategic relationships that includes Sanofi US Services, Inc., CVS Pharmacy Inc., Virgin Pulse, Inc., Solera Health, Inc., and Alliant Insurance Services Inc., that we believe see the value of Dario for their health plan and employer clients. We believe that these relationships will enable us to continue to accelerate market penetration and drive revenue growth this year and beyond.

We are very excited about the first study conducted by Sanofi in one of the largest and most rigorous study designs seen in digital health with the use of the Dario solution. As the digital health industry matures partners, especially health plans, are demanding greater levels of evidence. This study demonstrated statistically significant reductions in health care utilization and a 23.5% reduction in hospitalizations. We believe that these results will be extremely valuable to our sales efforts for customers seeking to reduce cost in this increasingly challenging macro-economic environment.

We exited the first quarter with $67 million of signed contract value, a modest increase over the fourth quarter of 2022 as we have recently started the 2024 sales cycle for employers, and we have yet to reflect any contract value for Amwell. We continue to build a robust B2B business which we believe is strategically aligned with employer and health plan demand and anticipate that we will continue to see strong growth as a result of the foundation we have built," Mr. Anderson concluded.

Q1 2023 and Recent Highlights

Continued to improve the financial profile of the Company, driven by the continued growth of scalable, high margin B2B customers.
Announced a strategic partnership with Amwell, a leader in digital healthcare enablement, to deliver its cardiometabolic solution to Amwell's customers.
Entered into an agreement with Dexcom, the global leader in real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology, to integrate its market-leading CGMs into Dario's multi-chronic condition platform.
Announced a new contract with a leading national Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM) to provide its employer clients with Dario's digital therapeutics solutions, beginning with its diabetes solution, beginning in the second quarter of 2023.
Announced hiring of digital health product leader Eitan Shay as Chief Product Officer and appointment of digital veteran Arnaud Robert as Strategic Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer.
Announced the publication of new research in Pain Reports investigating the personalized efficacy of digital therapeutics for pain management, linking the reduction of back pain for users in a digital posture training program with the personalization of user journeys adapting machine learning models.
Presented two new clinical studies at the 16th International Conference on Advanced Technologies and Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) 2023, which was held February 22-25 in Berlin. One of the studies demonstrated improved clinical outcomes in users with Type 2 diabetes and provided further analysis to understand the mediating effects of live human coaching and digital interventions across the Dario user journey, and the second study demonstrated Dario's ability to reduce hypoglycemic events in older adults with a digital chronic condition management solution.
Continue to demonstrate the strength of Dario's multi-condition suite, with more than 50% of pipeline opportunities for multi-condition contracts.

First Quarter 2023 Results Summary

Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023 were $7.07 million, a 12.3% decrease from $8.06 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, and an increase of 3.8% from $6.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022 resulted mainly from lower revenues from the Company's Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Channel.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2023 was $3.2 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, compared to gross profit of $4 million for the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of 16% from $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to 44.8% in the first quarter of 2023, from 49.4% in the first quarter of 2022, and increased from 40.1% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Pro-forma gross profit, excluding $1.1 million of amortization expenses related to the acquisition of technology, was $4.2 million, or 60.1% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a pro-forma gross profit of $4.9 million, or 61% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and pro-forma-gross profit of $4 million, or 58.1% of revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2022. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $15.6 million, compared with $19.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, and $11.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of $4.3 million, or 21.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of $3.8 million, or 32.6%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease compared to the first quarter of 2022 resulted mainly from the decrease in our digital marketing expenses. The increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 resulted mainly from lower operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 due to year-end adjustments in stock-based compensation expenses and headcount related items. Total operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition expenses, earn-out measurement, and depreciation for the first quarter of 2023 were $10.6 million, compared to $14.8 million for the first quarter of 2022, and $10 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Operating loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $12.4 million, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 21.8%, compared to $15.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of $3.4 million, or 37.7%, compared to $9.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease compared to the first quarter of 2022 and the increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, were mainly due to the decrease and increase respectively in our operating expenses.

Operating loss excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition expenses and depreciation for the first quarter of 2023 were $6.3 million compared to $9.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, and $6.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Net loss was $12.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 19.4%, compared to a net loss of $15.9 million in the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of $0.2 million, or 1.7%, compared to $12.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Net loss excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition related expenses and depreciation for the first quarter of 2023 was $6.8 million compared to $9.9 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP billings for the three months ended March 31, 2023, were $6.7 million, a 16% decrease from $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease is a result of lower sales generated in the B2C channel, in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

This news release and the statements of representatives and partners of the Company related thereto contain or may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "plan," "project," "potential," "seek," "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "estimate" or "continue" are intended to identify forward-looking statements. For example, when it discusses that its increase in B2B share of total revenue reflects growing trends in the market favoring its single, integrated, multi-condition digital health platform, its expected runway, the belief that with its strengthened balance sheet and the significantly reduced cash burn, it is well positioned to lead the market for integrated digital health solutions, that its agreement with Amwell represents a substantial opportunity, that its growing list of strategic relationships reflects the value of its platform for health plan and employer clients, that such relationships will enable it to continue to accelerate market penetration and drive revenue growth this year and beyond, the expected timing of its product launches, that the study results will be valuable to its sales efforts for customers seeking to reduce cost and that its B2B is strategically aligned with employer and health plan demand and that it anticipate that it will continue to see strong growth. Readers are cautioned that certain important factors may affect the Company's actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements that may be made in this news release. Factors that may affect the Company's results include, but are not limited to, regulatory approvals, product demand, market acceptance, impact of competitive products and prices, product development, commercialization or technological difficulties, the success or failure of negotiations and trade, legal, social and economic risks, and the risks associated with the adequacy of existing cash resources. Additional factors that could cause or contribute to differences between the Company's actual results and forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those risks discussed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned that actual results (including, without limitation, the timing for and results of the Company's commercial and regulatory plans for Dario™ as described herein) may differ significantly from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with peer companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures provided in the financial statement tables below.

Billings (non-GAAP). We define billings as revenue recognized in accordance with GAAP plus the change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period and adjustment to the deferred revenue balance due to adoption of the new revenue recognition standard less any deferred revenue balances acquired from business combination(s) during the period. We consider billings to be a useful metric for management and investors because billings drive future revenue, which is an important indicator of the health and viability of our business. There are a number of limitations related to the use of billings instead of GAAP revenue. First, billings include amounts that have not yet been recognized as revenue and are impacted by the term of security and support agreements. Second, we may calculate billings in a manner that is different from peer companies that report similar financial measures. Management accounts for these limitations by providing specific information regarding GAAP revenue and evaluating billings together with GAAP revenue.

Operating expenses (non-GAAP). Our presentation of non-GAAP operating expenses excludes stock-based compensation expenses. Due to varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company's non-cash operating expenses, we believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude non-cash expense provides us with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating our own core business operating results over different periods of time.

Net loss (non-GAAP). Our presentation of adjusted net loss excludes the effect of certain items that are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted net loss represents net loss determined under GAAP without regard to stock-based compensation expenses, deferred inventory, depreciation of fixed assets, earn-out remeasurement and acquisition related expenses and amortization. We believe these measures provide useful information to management and investors for analysis of our operating results.
