NEW YORK and CAESAREA, Israel, Oct. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Global digital therapeutics innovator DarioHealth Corp. (Nasdaq: DRIO), today reported financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

• Q3 2019 Revenues of $1.87 million, a 13% sequential increase over Q2 2019, and a 0.6% decrease compared to Q3 2018
• Q3 2019 Gross Profit of $873,000, representing 46.7% of revenues, a sequential increase of 168% over Q2 2019, and an 86% increase over Q3 2018
• Operating Loss in Q3 2019 decreased by $1.25 million to $2.8 million, a sequential decline of 48% compared to Q2 2019 and a 31% decrease compared to Q3 2018
• Dario demonstrated strategic interest in its platform with potential revenue generating possibly beginning in the first half of 2020, Dance Biopharma partnership and exciting pipeline of potential additional opportunities
• Results reflect and support Dario's strategic push into business-to-business (B2B), as sequential revenue growth and client wins were generated in combination with a lower expense structure 

CEO, Erez Raphael, stated, "In the third quarter, we believe that we produced tangible evidence that broadening our focus from the direct-to-consumer (D2C) channel alone to include the B2B channel is working well. We grew Dario's top-line while significantly improving gross margins and reducing losses. This quarter's performance also highlights the potential of our high margin SaaS oriented membership program. As previously mentioned, the resulting benefits of this B2B channel focus are measurable in terms of larger patient adoption, more certain revenue streams and lower customer acquisition costs.

In July 2019, Dario successfully launched a U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared hypertension extension of its chronic disease management platform. We're excited about the versatility of our platform and that we can now potentially help 75 million patients in the U.S. who suffer from this condition. We've received initial positive feedback from existing users about their ability to manage both diabetes and hypertension on our digital platform and we are excited to offer our technology to address an additional potential large market opportunity.

In September 2019, Dario announced its first strategic partnership with a private company, Dance Biopharm Holdings, Inc. Dario's platform will be integrated with Dance's smart inhaler to provide patients with automated, real-time treatment data through our advanced mobile application. This partnership may generate revenues in 2020 and beyond. We believe this partnership will be the first of many as we seek to combine our technology with other therapeutic, device and service offerings. We believe this highlights the compatibility and versatility of Dario's digital chronic condition management platform to integrate with other devices to assist in managing other diseases.         

Finally, we continued to win new clients and increase the pipeline of payers, employers, and providers who want an integrated solution that provides value and accountability driven healthcare, enabled by Dario's user-centric and evidence-based platform.

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 confident that we have built a platform technology which will deliver better care at a lower cost for patients with chronic diseases.

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, the Company is using forward-looking statements in this press release when the Company describes its belief that the third quarter produced tangible evidence that broadening its focus from the D2C channel to the B2B channel is working well, that the Company is excited to offer its hypertension extension product to address a potential large market opportunity, that its partnership with Dance Biopharma may generate revenues in the first half of 2020 and beyond, its belief that such partnership will be the first of many to combine the Company's technology with other therapeutic, device and service offerings and that such partnership highlights the compatibility and versatility of Dario's platform with other devices to assist in managing other diseases and the belief that management is confident that it has built a platform technology which will deliver better care at a lower cost for patients with chronic diseases.

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.
