DarioHealth Reports First Quarter 2020 Results

5/12/20

DarioHealth Corp. (Nasdaq: DRIO), a pioneer in the global digital therapeutics market, today reported financial results for the first quarter 2020 and provided a corporate and commercial update.

"In the first quarter of 2020, Dario executed in line with its multi-year strategic operating plan of creating a best in class digital health solution with a strong economic profile, including recurring revenues and high margins. With additional clinical data, an expansion of our platform and new interest from both clients and partners, we believe we have set the foundation for penetration into multiple Business-to-Business-to-Consumer (B2B2C) channels in the second half of this year. Irrespective of the global pandemic, we successfully expanded our remote care offering by partnering with MediOrbis to provide our 50,000 users additional ways to engage using a full-service telemedicine network of physicians," said Erez Raphael, DarioHealth's Chief Executive Officer. "To build on our success in the first quarter, I am thrilled that Dr. Manejwala has joined the team as Chief Medical Officer. He brings decades of experience working with patients to achieve behavioral changes that potentially result in health improvement. In addition, he has spent the last decade working with health plans and other payors to deliver value added clinical programs at the intersection of chronic conditions and behavioral health."

"In a world that is trying to avoid unnecessary physician office visits, urgent care visits, and inpatient treatments, Dario has empowered its members by bringing healthcare solutions to their mobile devices. More importantly, as a new normal emerges post COVID-19, we believe that Dario is well-positioned to thrive in this environment."

"We believe that we continue to be successful in expanding our B2B2C sales channels with new contracts beginning to show 'green shoots' and revenues continuing to grow from our membership services, with increasing margins," Zvi Ben-David, Dario's Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer added.

First Quarter 2020 Results Summary

Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 were $1.67 million, a 7.3% sequential decrease from fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019, and a 25.6% decrease from the $2.24 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Revenues generated during the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 were derived mainly from the sales of DarioHealth's components and from the offering of our membership plans to our customers in the U.S. Revenue declines are attributed to lower spending in the Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) channel and shifting efforts to the larger B2B2C channels which we anticipate will drive growth later this year.

At the end of the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, we had accumulated deferred income of $1.27 million, the majority of which we expect to recognize during the remainder of 2020.

Revenues from membership services were $778,000, or 46.7% of revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to $608,000, or 27.1% of revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. This increase in revenues from membership services contributed to the increase in our margins.

Gross profit in the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $779,000, an increase of $221,000, or 39.6%, compared to gross profit of $558,000 in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. Our gross profit increased from 24.9% in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 to 46.7% in the first quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increase was mainly due to the increase in revenues generated from our membership plans.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 were $10.9 million, an increase of $5.0 million, or 84%, compared with $5.9 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. The increase in the operating expenses is mainly due the increase in equity-based compensation to directors, employees and service providers, to $6.3 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $243,000 in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Non-GAAP operating expenses excluding equity-based compensation for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 were $4.6 million, compared with non-GAAP operating expenses, excluding equity-based compensation, of $5.7 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019, a reduction of $1.1 million. This reduction was mainly due the reduction in our digital marketing activity in the DTC channel.

Operating loss for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $10.1 million, an increase of $4.7 million, or 89%, compared to the $5.4 million operating loss in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. This increase was mainly due to the increase in stock-based compensation partially offset by the increase in our gross profit.

Net loss attributable to holders of common stock was $11.1 million or $1.57 per share in the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to the $5.4 million net loss or $2.92 per share in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.

We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $15.8 million at March 31, 2020.

Non-GAAP billings for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $1.7 million, a 39% decrease from $2.8 million reported in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease is a result of the decrease in our digital marketing expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Non-GAAP adjusted net loss for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $3.5 million, a 31.5% decrease from a $5.1 million non-GAAP adjusted net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

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."
