NEW YORK and CAESAREA, Israel, Aug. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO), a leading global digital health company with mobile health and big data solutions, today reported financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Second Quarter Highlights

• Record revenue of $2.06 million, an increase of 70% compared to the second quarter of 2017
• Sequential quarterly revenue growth of 17% over the first quarter of 2018
• Fourteenth consecutive quarter of revenue growth
• Deferred revenues from services of $50,000
• Gross profit of $522,000, an increase of 45% compared to the second quarter of 2017.
• Cash burn during the second quarter of 2018 of $2 million, down 27% from $2.77 million in the first quarter of 2018.
• Reported data on over 17,000 users of DarioHealth's Digital Diabetes Management System at the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) 78th Scientific Sessions. Data showed reductions in the ratio of high glucose events, increase in the ratio of normal readings, with improvements increasing with longevity of use. Data was collected long-term users of DarioHealth's technology in their daily lives. These results are real-world evidence that we believe is significantly different from, and more robust than, data that comes from a theoretical controlled clinical trial.
• Launched version 4.0 of our award-winning Dario™ app.
• Established a strong team in the U.S. that is executing on both the business-to-business and business-to-consumer fronts.
• Implemented the Dario Engage integrated solution in accounts in the U.S. and around the world.
• Successfully launched the Lightning®-enabled version of the Dario™ Blood Glucose Monitoring System which enables the use of the Dario™ app on iPhone 7, 8 and X following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 510(k) marketing clearance in the first quarter. We believe that the Lightning®-enabled version is being very well received in a market addressing an estimated 44% of the 141 million iPhones in the U.S. today.

Erez Raphael, CEO of DarioHealth, commented, "We are very pleased to report record quarterly revenue of $2.06 million and our 14th consecutive quarter of revenue growth. While revenues continue to increase, our cash burn is narrowing. We believe that DarioHealth has proven that digital health technologies offer a new paradigm in healthcare that creates better patient outcomes and successful businesses. With our global infrastructure, approvals in seven countries with a collective population of over 48 million people with diabetes, a robust U.S. sales team, and wide market reach, we are scaling up to serve more people who are living with chronic disease. We anticipate continued quarterly revenue growth at a pace of 60% to 80% year over year. We believe our effective business execution in the disruptive digital health space was a factor in our common stock being added to the Russell Microcap® Index during the second quarter of 2018."

"The digital health industry continues to create traction in its ability to change healthcare. According to Digital Health Network publication, $16 billion was invested into the digital health industry in the past year,  and introduced to the market an increasing number of solutions that are more digital and more user centric. As the number of personalized and patient-centric solutions increases, and the payer community actively rewards healthier, cost saving behavior, I believe this will increase market penetration of digital health solutions upwards of 10% for diabetes and other chronic conditions. We are very proud that DarioHealth is creating an impact in this industry through our market leadership, proving that consumers are looking for user centric digital solutions and that these solutions are changing their lives for the better," Mr. Raphael concluded.
