Diabetes is a pandemic spiralling out of control, affecting more than 600 million people worldwide. Lifecare plans to take part in driving the next wave of innovation in the field of diabetes technology. We aim to bring the next generation of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems to market, improving diabetes management for humans and pets.
Operations, development and costs in Q2 were executed as planned. We have accelerated our development by additionally streamlining sequential processes into parallel workstreams. This enables us to continue on track with our ambitious timelines.
We have received approval for first-in-human trials from the Norwegian Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics, based on conditions of minor documentation updates. Pending final approval from the Norwegian Medicines Agency, Lifecare continue preparations for the trial to start as planned in the second half of 2025. This first-in human trial will pave the way for our pivotal study planned to start in 2026.
We have started the preparations to achieve CE marking of our CGM system as a fully regulated medical device, in line with our plan to reach market readiness by the end of 2026. This comprehensive effort entails complete quality documentation covering all aspects of the technology and manufacturing processes.
To realize the full potential of our innovative CGM technology and accelerate market entry, securing sufficient capital is critical. In June, we successfully raised funds through the exercise of warrants, and I would like to thank our investors for their trust and support. While warrant proceeds have strengthened our balance sheet, additional capital will ensure we can fully capture upcoming milestones. With strong progress on product readiness and regulatory approvals, Lifecare is entering a defining phase in its journey to transform diabetes care.

Joacim Holter, CEO
Lifecare is a MedTech company developing next generation continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) solutions for diabetes management

Approximately 57% of the adults that live with diabetes are diagnosed, and 1/3 need glucose monitoring, representing about 110 million people. Of these, only about 10-15 million people globally are currently using CGMs. For people living with diabetes, glucose monitoring is a vital part of daily life. Every day, millions of insulin-related decisions are made based on glucose readings—directly influencing both immediate health and long-term outcomes.
Since the introduction of blood glucose meters in the 1970s, glucose monitoring technology has evolved significantly. A breakthrough came in 1999 with the first continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system, marking a new era in diabetes care.
Today, most CGM devices rely on glucose oxidase-based technology and are worn on the skin, using a small needle that penetrates the subcutaneous tissue to measure glucose levels. These sensors typically deliver readings every five minutes via a connected receiver or smartphone and must be
replaced every 7 to 15 days. An alternative approach uses a fluorescence-based sensing mechanism in an implantable continuous glucose monitor (CGM), providing readings for up to 365 days. However, the device is relatively expensive.
The future of CGM lies in sensors that combine improved accuracy and extended longevity with greater convenience and aƯordability. Ideally, these sensors will be fully implantable, requiring fewer replacements while oƯering a seamless user experience for long-term diabetes management at a more accessible cost.

Lifecare aims to develop the world's smallest glucose sensor—an injectable device designed to function beneath the skin for at least six months while being oƯered at a mid-range cost. Glucose data will be transferred wirelessly to a smart device. Our implantable device utilizes osmotic pressurebased technology to measure glucose levels with high precision. This innovation has the potential to provide a more convenient, more precise and long-term solution compared to existing glucose monitoring technologies.
Lifecare is pioneering a new era in CGM with its proprietary technology, using osmotic pressure for calibration-free, long-wear glucose sensing.
Our strategy is built on innovation, scalable in-house manufacturing, and strong partnerships to bring our technology to market eƯiciently. A large-scale production facility in Mainz, Germany, will open in H2 2025 to support this growth. We are taking a phased approach to commercialization, starting with the veterinary market – an underserved segment that oƯers valuable operational experience ahead of expected CE approval and human market entry in 2027. Collaborations with key partners strengthen our position through digital integration and commercial alignment. With an established competitor having secured regulatory approval in Europe and the U.S., we are confident that our second-mover advantage will support a successful CE-mark approval process in Europe.
While glucose monitoring remains our initial focus, the underlying sensor platform holds potential for broader applications across diagnostics and biomarker monitoring, oƯering long-term growth beyond diabetes care.

We have finalized our product design, reaching a design freeze that enables us to move forward towards first-in-human trials and veterinary launch. The development of an advanced medtech product such as our CGM is inherently dynamic. In collaboration with our development partners, we continuously assess manufacturing, regulatory, and commercial considerations.
Initial validation of the implant has been successfully completed, and preparations are underway for clinical trials. We aim to initiate the first-in-human trial in the second half of 2025, laying the groundwork for the pivotal CE-mark trial. The pivotal trial is expected to conclude in 2026, with a commercial launch of our CGM device for human use planned in 2027.

Design freeze of Lifecare's implantable device.
Longevity study in dogs continues to be an important component of Lifecare's product development eƯorts, confirming sensor durability and biocompatibility and providing confidence in the safety and functional stability of the device. Insights from this preclinical work, together with the finalized implant design, have laid the foundation for the next major milestone. In May, Lifecare formally submitted a regulatory application to initiate its first-in-human clinical trial for the wireless CGM device. This filing followed a design freeze of the implant deemed suƯicient for both clinical and manufacturing progression.
The trials are designed to assess safety, tolerability, and glucose-sensing accuracy, and are planned to commence in Norway and Germany in the second half of 2025 with a duration of four weeks. Professor Simon Dankel, a recognized expert in metabolic research from the University of Bergen, Norway, will serve as Principal Investigator, with the Norwegian trial site hosted by the Research Unit for Health Surveys (RUHS) in Bergen.
This milestone marks an important step in our broader clinical and commercial development strategy, setting the stage for a pivotal CE-mark trial scheduled for 2026. The regulatory filing reflects growing technical maturity of the implant and reinforces Lifecare's strategic commitment to deliver a nextgeneration CGM solution for diabetes care.
The Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics (REK) in Norway confirmed its approval of the application in August. The approval is conditional upon minor documentation updates and does not represent the final regulatory clearance. Lifecare is currently awaiting final approval from the Norwegian Medicines Agency, the national authority responsible for clinical trial authorization.
This summer, Lifecare started the process to achieve CE marking for its CGM system as a fully regulated medical device, in line with our communicated plan. This process encompasses every element of the CGM system – sensor, implant, reader, manufacturing processes – supported by comprehensive ISO 13485-compliant documentation, the internationally recognised quality standard for medical devices.
CE marking requires more than having a working device – it demands proof that every device manufactured will meet the same rigorous standards of safety, performance and quality. To achieve this, we are implementing a solid Quality Management System based on a fully traceable framework covering all design, manufacturing, and quality control processes. Each completed step in this structured process advances us towards full market approval. In addition, it reinforces our position as a company ready to deliver a world-class solution to the diabetes market.
In July, Lifecare announced important compliance achievements for the electronics within our CGM system, with final CE compliance for the electronic components expected by end of Q3 2025. This advancement is a partial step towards full regulatory compliance for Lifecares CGM as a medical device.
Revenue and other income amounted to NOK 7 thousand in Q2 2025, compared to NOK 6.4 million in Q2 2024. For the first half of 2025, revenue and other income totaled NOK 12 thousand, down from NOK 6.9 million in H1 2024. The 2024 figures included government subsidies related to R&D activities in Germany and a reversal of an earn-out agreement related to Lifecare Laboratory.
Employee benefits expenses totalled NOK 8.5 million in Q2 2025 compared to NOK 9.1 million in Q2 2024 and NOK 18.1 million in H1 2025 compared to NOK 17.3 million in H1 2024.
Depreciation and amortization expenses amounted to NOK 1.4 million in Q2 2025 compared to NOK 1.2 million in Q2 2024, and NOK 2.9 million in H1 2025 compared to NOK 2.2 million in H1 2024. The increase reflects investments in machinery and equipment.
Other operating expenses decreased from NOK 14.9 million in Q2 2024 to NOK 12.3 million in Q2 2025. However, for the first half of the year, expenses increased from NOK 19.1 million in H1 2024 to NOK 26.3 million in H1 2025. The increase reflects focused investment in design freeze, trial preparations and CE-mark readiness.
Total operating expenses amounted to NOK 22.2 million in Q2 2025, down from NOK 25.1 million in Q2 2024. For the first half of 2025, total operating expenses increased to NOK 47.2 million, compared to NOK 38.6 million in the same period of 2024. The year-to-date increase reflects higher development activities.
Operating loss amounted to NOK 22.2 million in Q2 2025, compared to NOK 18.7 million in Q2 2024. For the first half of 2025, operating loss came to NOK 47.2 million, compared to NOK 31.7 million in the same period of 2024.
Net financial items resulted in a gain of NOK 8.6 million in Q2 2025, compared to a loss of NOK 0.2 million in Q2 2024. For the first half of 2025, net financial income totaled NOK 13.2 million, up from a loss of NOK 0.2 million in the same period of 2024. The increase is primarily driven by the revaluation of warrants recognized as financial instruments, as well as interest income earned on cash deposits.
Pre-tax loss for the quarter was NOK 13.6 million, an improvement from a loss of NOK 18.9 million in Q2 2024. For the first half of 2025, the pre-tax loss amounted to NOK 34.0 million, compared to a loss of NOK 31.9 million in the same period of 2024. Income tax for the quarter was estimated at a positive NOK 34 thousand, down from NOK 0.6 million in Q2 2024. For H1 2025, income tax was estimated at NOK 91 thousand, compared to NOK 0.6 million in H1 2024.
As a result, the Group's net loss after tax amounted to NOK 13.6 million in Q2 2025, compared to a loss of NOK 18.3 million in Q2 2024. For the first half of 2025, the net loss after tax amounted to NOK 33.9 million, compared to NOK 31.2 million in the same period of 2024.
As of 30 June 2025, the Lifecare Group reported total assets of NOK 79.2 million, compared to NOK 152.2 million as of 30 June 2024 and NOK 112.6 million as of 31 December 2024. In June 2024, Lifecare completed a rights issue raising gross proceeds of NOK 90 million. The change from 2024 reflects the Group's planned use of financial resources to accelerate product development, supported by strengthened equity through a capital increase in June 2025.
Total non-current assets amounted to NOK 37.0 million at 30 June 2025 (Q2 2024: NOK 31.8 million and YE 2024: NOK 37.8 million. Property, plant and equipment incl. right-of-use assets increased from NOK 18.7 million in Q2 2024 to NOK 25.2 million at YE 2024 and to NOK 24.9 million in Q2 2025. The development from last year underscores the Group's investment phase, while the slight decline since year-end reflects regular depreciation. Intangible assets (patents, licenses, and goodwill) amounted to NOK 12.1 million (Q2 2024: NOK 13.1 million and YE 2024: NOK 12.6 million).
Current assets amounted to NOK 42.2 million at the end of Q2 2025 (Q2 2024: NOK 120.4 million and YE 2024: NOK 74.8 million). Cash and cash equivalents were NOK 31.8 million, down from NOK 101.4 million in Q2 2024 and NOK 61.6 million at year-end. Cash use is aligned with development milestones. Trade receivables and other current assets declined to NOK 10.4 million from NOK 19.0 million in Q2 2024 and NOK 13.2 million at year-end, reflecting lower external revenues and projectrelated timing eƯects.
Total equity stood at NOK 58.9 million as of 30 June 2025, compared to NOK 98.8 million in Q2 2024 and NOK 74.0 million at year-end 2024. The exercise of warrants in June 2025 contributed NOK 16.1 million in new equity. Please refer to Note 7 for more information about warrants. The equity ratio was 74% as of 30 June 2025, versus 65% in Q2 2024 and 66% at year-end 2024.
Total liabilities amounted to NOK 20.3 million as of 30 June 2025, down significantly from NOK 53.4 million at 30 June 2024 and NOK 38.6 million at year-end 2024. The reduction from previous periods is mainly attributable to the exercise of warrants and related conversion of warrants to equity in June 2025, which both strengthened the equity position and removed related financial liabilities from the balance sheet. Lifecare is primarily equity-funded and arries no interest-bearing debt.
Trade payables and other current liabilities amounted to NOK 10.0 million, down from NOK 14.2 million in Q2 2024 and up from NOK 8.3 million at year-end. The development reflects normal fluctuations in operational activities and supplier balances.
Lease liabilities (current and non-current) totalled NOK 9.5 million, compared to NOK 12.2 million in Q2 2024 and NOK 14.7 million at year-end 2024. The increase over 2024 is largely attributable to a new oƯice rental agreement signed in Q2 2024. The decline in 2025 is a result of partial amortization of lease obligations. Lifecare has entered into a new lease for expanded R&D and production facilities in Mainz, Germany, eƯective 1 July 2025. This agreement will add approximately NOK 38 million to the financial statements in Q3 2025, recognized as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability.
Net cash flow from operating activities during the quarter amounted to NOK –13.8 million, compared to NOK -12.8 million in Q2 2024. For the first half of 2025, net cash flow from operating activities was NOK -28.6 million, compared to NOK -24.6 million for the same period in 2024. The change is primarily due to increased development activities in 2025 compared to last year.
Net cash flow from investing activities was NOK -0.4 million during the quarter, compared to NOK -2.4 million in Q2 2024. For the first half year of 2025, the net cash flow from investing activities was NOK - 2.2 million, compared to NOK -4.0 million in the first half of 2024. The outflows are mainly related to purchases of equipment and production assets.
Net cash flow from financing activities was NOK 5.6 million in Q2 2025, compared to NOK 82.2 million in Q2 2024. For the first half year, net cash flow from financing activities was NOK 1.0 million, compared to NOK 81.7 million in the first half of 2024. The diƯerence is mainly explained by the NOK 90.0 million share issue completed in June 2024 and the NOK 17.1 million share issue related to the warrant exercise and related fair value adjustment in 2025.
Net cash outflow amounted to NOK 8.6 million in Q2 2025 and NOK 29.8 million for the first half of 2025 compared to a cash inflow NOK 67.1 in Q1 2024 and NOK 53.0 million in H1 2024.
At the end of the quarter, the cash balance was NOK 31.8 million, compared to NOK 101.4 million at the end of Q2 2024.
After the balance sheet date, Lifecare has announced successful completion of technical compliance testing, ethics approval for its first-in-human trial, and initiation of formal CE-mark preparations. These are key milestones in Lifecare's regulatory pathway for its implantable CGM system.
Lifecare has entered a pivotal phase, maintaining strong momentum in product development while preparing for its first-in-human clinical trial and eventual commercialization of its implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system. The ongoing studies in dogs continue to provide essential data on sensor longevity, biocompatibility, and signal accuracy. These studies are a critical input for sensor optimization and overall product readiness. The first-in-human trial is expected to commence in the second half of 2025, followed by the regulatory CE trial in 2026. Lifecare is targeting CE approval and commercial launch in Europe in 2027.
As of 30 June 2025, Lifecare held a cash position of NOK 31.8 million. In June, the exercise period concluded for 4.2 million warrants issued in connection with the partially underwritten rights issue completed in June 2024. A total of 3.2 million warrants (76%) were exercised at a price of NOK 5.31681 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of NOK 17.1 million. Lifecare is pleased with the conversion rate and capital inflow, reflecting continued shareholder support and confidence in the company's strategy. Nevertheless, the proceeds were lower than anticipated. To strengthen its financial position and maintain progress, Lifecare considers conducting a share issue in H2 2025.
The veterinary launch will mark a significant milestone, oƯering near-term commercial validation, operational learning, and revenue potential. It is also a strategic step toward de-risking the company's broader development roadmap. The initiation of the first-in-human trial and subsequent CE-mark trial are also expected to be major value inflection points, significantly de-risking the investment case and positioning Lifecare for entry into the human CGM market by 2027.
Lifecare remains committed to its capital-eƯicient strategy and to delivering on a roadmap designed to convert technological innovation into clinical utility and commercial impact.
We hereby confirm that, to the best of our knowledge, the unaudited interim financial statements for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the Lifecare Group's assets, liabilities, financial position and result for the period.

Lifecare is a medical sensor company developing technology for sensing and monitoring of various body analytes. Lifecare's focus is to bring the next generation of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems to market. Lifecare enables osmotic pressure as a sensing principle. Lifecare's sensor technology is suitable for identifying and monitoring the occurrence of a wide range of analytes and molecules in the human body and in pets.
The Lifecare Group consist of the parent company Lifecare ASA and its subsidiaries. Lifecare ASA is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Norway and is listed on Euronext Oslo Børs (Oslo Stock Exchange). The subsidiaries comprise Lifecare Veterinary AS (Norway), Lifecare Chemistry Ltd (UK), Lifecare NanoBioSensors GmbH (Germany), Lifecare Laboratory GmbH (Germany) and RemovAid AS (Norway). Lifecare Veterinary is 80% owned and RemovAid is 89.6% owned by Lifecare ASA, while the other subsidiaries are 100% owned.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU. The financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost basis, except for financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. For management purposes, the Group operates as a single business unit, and internal reporting and decision making is structured accordingly. For a complete set of disclosures, this report should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual report for 2024.
This interim report is unaudited.
Management makes estimates and assumptions about the future that aƯect accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. These estimates, based on historical experience and other relevant factors, guide judgments on asset and liability valuations when no clear market values exist. Actual results may diƯer from these estimates. Management continuously reviews assumptions considering current and expected market conditions. The primary area where Lifecare applies significant estimates and assumptions is the impairment assessment of goodwill, see Note 5.
Lifecare is in a late development/pre-commercialization phase, and operates in a global environment exposed to geopolitical, macroeconomic, and regulatory risks. Key challenges include regulatory shifts, supply chain disruptions, trade restrictions and cybersecurity risk. While Lifecare's operations and partners are primarily European, external conditions could impact progress and market access. The company continuously monitors these factors and maintains a proactive risk management framework.
Lifecare is not yet revenue-generating and relies primarily on equity financing to fund its activities. At the end of Q2 2025, Lifecare held NOK 31.8 million in cash. Lifecare maintains conservative liquidity planning and is actively preparing financing alternatives to ensure uninterrupted progress. While the concluded warrant exercise in June resulted in proceeds of NOK 17.1 million and strengthened our balance sheet, additional capital will ensure we can fully capture upcoming milestones. To maintain progress, Lifecare considers conducting a share issue in H2 2025. Management is also pursuing additional funding alternatives. While current liquidity is adequate, continued access to capital is a key risk factor.
Given Lifecare's international operations, the company is exposed to currency fluctuations, especially between GBP/EUR and NOK. Most supplier invoices are in euros and British pound, while Lifecare holds most of its cash in Norwegian kroner. No hedging strategy is currently in place, exposing the company to moderate currency risk.
Lifecare's sensor technology is based on proprietary osmotic pressure sensing, protected by three active patents and one pending. Scientific risk is considered low, as the company follows a structured R&D process, including preclinical, proof-of-concept, and longevity studies. Result from the veterinary implants has showed no adverse reactions and good sensor stability, significantly de-risking the technology platform.
Lifecare maintains ISO-certified quality systems and continuously strengthens its internal controls to ensure full regulatory compliance. For human use, the implantable CGM sensor must undergo clinical trials to document safety, eƯicacy, and performance. Regulatory progress continues as Lifecare has received approval for the first-in-human trial in Norway and has submitted a corresponding application in Germany. The pivotal CE-mark trial is planned for 2026. To support these activities, Lifecare is systematically developing quality processes that are fully aligned with the CGM system's development stages, securing a coherent and eƯicient regulatory pathway. In the veterinary market, where specific medical device regulations do not apply, commercialization is contingent on the successful outcome of ongoing longevity studies.
Pilot production and key process automation milestones have been achieved, but final optimization for full-scale manufacturing is ongoing. Lifecare will continue to refine its sensor prototypes based on test results from long-term animal studies. While progress is strong, moderate manufacturing risk remains due to the complexity of transitioning to commercial-scale production.
Commercial success depends on market adoption, strategic partnerships, and Lifecare's ability to deliver a competitive, high-performing CGM solution. Partnerships are essential in the commercialization roadmap, both for scaling operations and securing market access. Initial market entry is planned for the veterinary segment, which will provide valuable feedback and contribute to risk reduction ahead of the human launch. Lifecare is actively positioning the company for future partnerships with industry leaders, particularly within distribution and sales. Such collaborations will be critical as the company approaches commercial entry into the human market. The company remains open to exploring partnership opportunities when the timing and strategic alignment are right.

*Employee share option expenses do not have cash eƯect.
Lifecare's share option program is designed to align management incentives with shareholder value and aid in talent retention. Options are granted at market price on the grant date and typically vest over three years, expiring after five. Vesting requires continued employment and may include performance conditions. Options carry no voting or dividend rights before exercise and can be exercised only during Board-approved periods. Fair value is calculated using Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo models, considering factors such as share price, exercise price, volatility, expected life, dividends, and risk-free interest rate. Expenses are recognized over the vesting period under employee benefits, and exercised options result in new share issuance.

In June 2024, Lifecare ASA completed a partially underwritten rights issue of 59 038 955 new shares. The subscribers in the rights issue were allocated one warrant for every two new shares, and 29 519 478 warrants were issued to the subscribers. Further, Munkekullen 5 Förvaltning AB and Buntel AB, having underwritten a total of NOK 50 million of the rights issue, received a compensation of 25 000 000 warrants at equal terms to the warrants issued in the rights issue. Consequently, a total of 54 519 478 warrants were allocated to subscribers and the underwriters. On 30 September 2024, Lifecare ASA completed a share consolidation (reverse split) of its shares in the ratio of 13:1, where the warrants were consolidated with the same ratio, to 4 193 802 warrants.
Each warrant gave the holder the right to buy one new share in Lifecare ASA at a price equal to the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the company's shares on Euronext Oslo Børs during the last three trading days before the first date the warrant could be exercised, minus 30%. Based on the criteria, the exercise price per new share was NOK 5.3168.
The warrants were listed on Euronext Growth Oslo and were tradable until 6 June, and exercisable until 13 June 2025. A total of 3 207 994 warrants (76%) were exercised, resulting in gross proceeds of NOK 17.1 million.
Due to the variability in exercise price, the warrants were initially recognized as financial liabilities at fair value on the issuance date and subsequently measured at fair value. The warrants were derecognized when the obligation under the liability expired 13 June 2025.
