LIFE: Lifecare ASA Q1 2025
Bergen, Norway, 15 May 2025: Today, Lifecare ASA (LIFE), ("Lifecare" or the
"Company"), a clinical stage medical sensor company developing the next
generation Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), publishes its Q1 2025 financial
report and operational update.
Highlights:
* ~ 600M people live with diabetes, as per latest IDF Diabetes Atlas
* Advancing toward market launch
* Design optimization on track to reach design freeze and manufacturability
* Improved sensor sensitivity enhances data accuracy and performance
* Update on strategy, priorities and commercialization progress
Diabetes continues to be one of the most significant global health challenges,
affecting more than 600 million people worldwide. Among them, over 110 million
insulin-dependent patients require continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). CGM is
the fastest-growing segment in diabetes technology, with an annual growth rate
of 12.5% and a projected market size of USD 25 billion in Europe and the U.S.
by 2030. Within this space, implantable CGMs are set to drive the next wave of
innovation --- and Lifecare is well-positioned to take part in this
transformation.
"Our technology offers a novel approach to CGM by utilizing osmotic pressure
as sensing principle to enable continuous, calibration-free glucose monitoring
with extended wear times and improved comfort. Lifecare's sensor is based on
nanotechnology on a microchip and has a significant longevity potential,
making our product very well suited as an implantable CGM solution. Lifecare's
patented technology is proven, based on in-vitro testing and several rounds of
both clinical testing and pre-clinical testing", says Lifecare's CEO Joacim
Holter.
Holter continous: "Manufacturability has been key focus in progress towards a
product design freeze, including ongoing efforts for automation of production
aligned with optimization of product and product tolerances. As planned and
communicated we have validated stable product prototypes designed for
manufacturing this quarter. We are now in the final engineering stages to lock
in the design for manufacturing. The updated implant version will undergo
further testing in spring 2025, forming the technical foundation for our main
regulatory study. On this basis we aim to file for a pre-CE clinical study in
Q2 2025, while we plan to start the pivotal study in late 2025 to support our
CE-mark application". Lifecare's goal is to enter the human CGM market by
Lifecare's short term strategic goals includes a capital efficient path
towards commercialization with near term value inflection points. The Company
aims to build a customer base of 75K patients within 2030, representing ~0.5%
of the total addressable market, equating to an annual revenue of USD 200+
million.
In the meantime, Lifecare is leveraging the faster-moving veterinary market as
an early commercialization opportunity. With no effective glucose monitoring
solutions currently available for animals, this segment provides both a
valuable business case and a real-world platform to build experience in
manufacturing, logistics, and market feedback.
Lifecare's scalable, partner-driven B2B model remains a core strength. The
Company continues to invest in in-house capabilities, with a production
facility opening in Mainz, Germany in Q3 2025. By combining internal control
of design and production with a strategy to partner on sales, distribution,
and customer support, the Company aims to ensure high quality, operational
flexibility, and rapid scalability.
Lifecare's Intellectual Property includes the patented technology, product
software and hardware design, as well as production. To ensure state-of-the
art user interface, Lifecare collaborates with OneTwo Analytics AB which
provides AI-based digital tools for data interpretation and decision support.
The digital software tools include software for both clinicians and the
patients directly and is set up for integration and connectivity with insulin
pumps (AIDs) and insulin pens. Lifecare has already integrated OneTwo
Analytics software with its sensors designed to serve users in both the
veterinary market and later the human market.
"With the scientific foundation established and our commercial strategy
unfolding across both veterinary and human markets, we are entering a critical
phase. The upcoming warrant exercise period in June 2025 will be instrumental
in supporting our next steps. We are grateful for the continued support of our
investors as we work toward CE approval, market entry, and long-term value
creation", says CEO Joacim Holter.
