NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- DarioHealth Corp. (Nasdaq: DRIO), a pioneer in the global digital therapeutics market, today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2021 and provided a corporate and commercial update.

"The third quarter provided the strongest validation yet of our strategy of building one of the broadest multi-chronic condition digital health platforms in the industry," stated Erez Raphael, Chief Executive Officer of Dario. "We signed several multi-condition contracts in the last quarter, reflecting the demand for a single platform that can engage members across many high-cost conditions in an integrated user experience.  Of particular note, we were able to quickly and efficiently integrate the technology we obtained through our acquisition of Upright Technologies in January into our business-to-business (B2B) product offering which has contributed to the accelerating sales momentum reflected in both our third quarter and recent contract announcements."

"We again delivered robust financial performance, with total revenue growth of 176% over the comparable period in 2020 and pro-forma gross margin of 45%, up substantially from 26.9% a year ago. We anticipate gross margins will continue to expand over the long-term as we scale our Software as a Service (SaaS) model. Finally, our balance sheet remains very strong, with $51.3 million of cash as of September 30, 2021. We believe that we are well funded to execute on our multi-faceted growth plan," Mr. Raphael concluded.

"We made significant progress advancing our B2B strategy across all three channels - payers, employers and providers - during the third quarter.  We signed a national health plan and several employers and providers and ended the quarter with 47 contracts and several more in contracting.  The rapid acceleration of new accounts in the third quarter is a result of the work we have done over the last 18 months to increase the visibility of Dario and build the pipeline, which is now coming to fruition. We believe that our development of an integrated multi-condition platform has been a key contributing factor in our competitive wins in the B2B space," stated Rick Anderson, President and General Manager of Dario North America. "We continue to see robust growth of the pipeline, which now stands at $1 billion, with multi-condition opportunities representing 80% of that pipeline."        

Q3 2021 and Recent Highlights

Accelerating Market Access  

• Significantly increased pipeline conversion with nine new contracts in the third quarter, for a total of 47 signed accounts; 80% of which signed in the last 5 months. 
• Grew the pipeline to $1 billion, with multi-condition opportunities representing approximately 80% of the pipeline.
• Announced key strategic partnerships representing significant opportunities to scale across the employer market: Virgin Pulse, the leading global provider of digital and live health and wellbeing solutions; and a leading national benefits administrative platform. Both contracts broaden distribution operational enablement of Dario's full suite of integrated digital therapeutic solutions to a wide range of employers beginning in January of 2022.
• Hired seasoned sales executive Jerrod Helms for the newly created position of Chief Commercial Officer to support Dario's rapid expansion across employers, providers, and payers.

Expanding Client Base 

• Further validated Dario's strategy of building a multi-chronic integrated platform of digital therapeutic solutions by announcing the first set of multi-condition customer wins, including our first contract for the full suite of solutions - diabetes, pre-diabetes, hypertension, musculoskeletal, behavioral health, and digital employee assistance programs – with a large national employer.
• Contracted with a leading national health plan serving millions of members for Dario's behavioral health solution. Dario will be paid a monthly fee for each member that has access to the platform.
• Further expanded our provider business through new Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) contracts with two prominent regional providers in Hawaii and Georgia. The two new contracts expand Dario's provider footprint with one of the largest providers in Hawaii, and a metro Atlanta primary care system with multiple locations. Both partnerships will provide RPM services for patients living with diabetes and hypertension.    

Other

• Unveiled its integrated musculoskeletal (MSK) solution "Dario Move" at HLTH 2021, one of the largest and most important conferences on health innovation. Dario Move represents full integration of MSK into our multi-condition platform just nine months following the acquisition of Upright Technologies and the achievement of a significant company milestone.

For example, the Company is using forward-looking statements in this press release when it discusses that its results provide validation of its strategy of building one of the broadest multi-chronic condition digital health platforms in the industry, that it anticipates gross margins will continue to expand over the long-term as it scales its SaaS model, its belief that it is well funded to execute on its multi-faceted growth plan and the belief that its development of an integrated multi-condition platform has been a key contributing factor in its competitive wins in the B2B space.

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.

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