LIFE: Lifecare Q3 2023 Report
LIFE: Lifecare Q3 2023 Report
Bergen, Norway, November 14th, 2023: Today, Lifecare AS (LIFE) (the
"Company"), a clinical stage medical sensor company developing the next
generation Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), publishes Q3 financial report and
operational update.
Lifecare completed Q3 with many important technology and operational
achievements. The Company is shifting focus from conducting research and
development to focusing on production preparations, industrialization and
finally commercialization of the Company's sensor technology.
The main strategic goal for the Company is to initiate automated production
and product-launch in 2024. Achieving these goals requires focused investments
in production preparations, including production equipment. On this basis the
Lifecare Group priorities have reduce the capacity to provide third-party
services from the Group entities in Germany, and the Group revenues YTD Q3
2023 ended at 6,41 MNOK, in comparison to 15,43 MNOK YTD Q3 2022.
At the same time the Group R&D operations with preparations for production
drive the salary and personal costs, while other operating costs are in line
with forecast and expectations. Lifecare's result per Q3 2023 was --21 MNOK.
- As we approach the initial production phase it is needed for us to invest in
production preparations and production set up. This trend will continue as
planned, until our first automated production line is ready by the end of Q2
2024 - paving the way for commercial production, says Joacim Holter, Lifecare
CEO.
Despite reduced revenues, the Group's equity and cash position is strengthened
compared to the end of Q3 2022, not taking the recent capital increase taken
into account. The capital increase completed in October further strengthens
the Equity and Cash Position.
On the operational level Lifecare has met several objectives in Q3, in
accordance with the roadmap presented in previous investor communication. The
most important achievements include the approval from the regulatory
authorities to start the next study and placing order for software for
automated production.
Furthermore, the Company confirmed that prototype sensors reached an
operational lifetime of more than 24 weeks (172 days), including a sensor
chemistry shelf life of almost 27 weeks (187 days). These results from a
longevity in-vitro experiment confirms that Lifecare's technology has a
superior operational longevity compared to existing needle based CGM sensors,
as well as an encouraging stability of the chemistry used in the sensor.
- We are very satisfied with the development throughout Q3 2023, both
technical and operational. We are especially excited about the longevity
experiment. The results validate the potential of Sencell to provide long-term
and accurate glucose monitoring for people with diabetes, while reducing the
need for frequent sensor replacements, says CEO Joacim Holter.
Lifecare's CEO Joacim Holter presents the company's Q3 report Tuesday 14th
November 10:30 CET.
