NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- DarioHealth Corp. (Nasdaq: DRIO), a pioneer in the global digital therapeutics market, today reported financial results for the third quarter 2020 and provided a corporate and commercial update.

"During the third quarter we achieved 14.2% sequential growth in our revenues, but more importantly, we made significant strides in penetrating the multiple verticals within the Business-to-Business-to-Consumer (B2B2C) channel with our digital therapeutics solutions," stated Erez Raphael, Chief Executive Officer of Dario. "Most notably, our recently announced partnership agreements with Vitality Group and HMC Healthworks provide access of our solutions to end users through their employers or benefits providers. We believe that our industry consumer engagement metrics and open architecture that allows for seamless integration with legacy systems are key differentiating factors relative to our competition that have resonated with customers and prospects alike.

"The execution of our multi-year, strategic plan has led to advanced late-stage contracting discussions with health plans, self-insured employers and providers. We are encouraged by the fact that we are pursuing multiple large opportunities, and we anticipate many of these agreements will close and launch in the near term. Furthermore, as our sales pipeline has grown during the third quarter, we believe that our ongoing investments in our U.S. commercial infrastructure have positioned Dario for a transformational year in 2021."

"We ended the third quarter with $37 million in cash on the balance sheet after completing a successful $28.6 million financing in July," Zvi Ben-David, Dario's Chief Financial Officer added. "This is the largest cash position in the Company's history. Our liquidity is sufficient to invest in research and development, expand our portfolio of chronic diseases and build the necessary sales and marketing infrastructure to drive further penetration of the B2B2C channel. We believe that we are funded to achieve our goals in the coming quarters." 

Q3 2020 Operations Update and Recent Highlights

Opening B2B2C Channels: Commercial Development & Strategic Collaborations

• In October 2020, we announced inclusion in Vitality's new Gateway Flex offering, allowing Dario's digital therapeutics platform to be marketed to Vitality's vast employer base that provides benefits solutions to 20 million people.
• In September 2020, we announced a partnership agreement with HMC Healthworks that extends DarioHealth's reach into HMC's vast multi-employer client base through which HMC is currently managing more than one million members.
• In July 2020, we entered the U.K. RPM market through an agreement with Williams Medical, making Dario's RPM platform available to healthcare professionals throughout the U.K. and Ireland.

Clinical Evidence Development

• In August 2020, we presented a poster at the Virtual Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists 2020 Annual Conference. The poster, entitled, "Impact of Digital Management on Clinical Outcome in Patients with Chronic Conditions: Diabetes and Hypertension," details results from an observational study of 345 participants with hypertensive blood pressure at baseline who utilized the Dario digital therapeutics platform. The study found that Dario's digital therapeutics platform helped drive improved blood pressure at three months and glycemic control at six months compared to baseline.

Corporate Developments

• In September 2020, we appointed Eric Milledge as Chairman of Dario's newly created Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). The SAB will work alongside the company's research and development team and external partners to develop and implement the Dario's strategic roadmap for its technology platform.
• In July 2020, we appointed Dennis Matheis, President of Optima Health, a health plan with more than 850,000 members, to our Board of Directors, further supporting Dario's ongoing transition to B2B2C.
• In July 2020, we announced that we successfully raised gross proceeds of $28.6 million through a private placement of common shares and pre-funded warrants.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release and the statements of representatives and partners of DarioHealth Corp. (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, the Company is using forward-looking statements in this press release when it discusses its belief that its consumer engagement metrics and open architecture are key differentiating factors relative to its competition that have resonated with customers and prospects alike, the growth of its sales pipeline, the belief that its ongoing investments in its U.S. commercial infrastructure have positioned Dario for a transformational year in 2021, that its liquidity is sufficient to invest in research and development, expand its portfolio of chronic diseases and build the necessary sales and marketing infrastructure to drive further penetration of the B2B2C channel and the belief that it is funded to achieve its goals in the coming quarters. 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.

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 and depreciation of fixed assets. We believe these measures provide useful information to management and investors for analysis of our operating results.
