Current report
The transition of commercial responsibility for Eversense to Senseonics in European markets is subject to the finalization and execution of definitive agreements with Ascensia and an uncertain government approval process.
Current report
We executed the Master Asset Purchase Agreement and the A&R Commercialization Agreement with Ascensia related to the termination of our Existing Commercialization Agreement and the transfer of commercial responsibility for Eversense from Ascensia back to the Company. Pursuant to these agreements, we resumed responsibility for U.S. commercial activities as of January 1, 2026 and are entitled to 100% of revenue from European Territories, subject to certain transitional arrangements. While the Master Asset Purchase Agreement and A&R Commercialization Agreement establish the primary terms of the transition, the timing and scope of certain transition activities, costs, and obligations remain subject to ongoing coordination with Ascensia. Additionally, the formal transition of commercial responsibility in the European countries is subject to the finalization and execution of definitive local purchase agreements for those jurisdictions, the negotiation of which is ongoing. Accordingly, we cannot predict with certainty the total costs that we will incur, or liabilities that we may assume, in connection with the commercial transition. If the transition requires greater resources than anticipated or the final outcomes differ from our expectations, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to fully implement the commercial transition or on our future results of operations.
Current report
The commercialization of Eversense in certain European countries is also subject to government tender systems within the various countries. The ability of the Company to participate in the various tenders will require the satisfaction of the requirements of these countries’ regulatory bodies, and in some cases approval, which vary country by country and are further governed by specific regional level requirements within the countries. Although we are working with Ascensia and our advisors to understand these processes and the necessary requirements for each country, this process is inherently uncertain, as is the timing for receipt of any required approvals. As a result, the timeline for our eventual assumption of full commercial responsibilities in these countries is difficult to predict. Additionally, if one or more countries were to condition the transfer of a tender to the Company on terms that are less favorable than we expect, it could adversely affect the success of our European commercialization efforts.
Current report
Our resumption of commercial responsibility for Eversense will require us to develop a number of internal functions and may not be successful.
Current report
Prior to our resumption of commercial responsibility for Eversense in the United States on January 1, 2026, it had been more than five years since we had direct commercial responsibility for Eversense. In order to effectively resume commercial responsibility for the product, we will need to develop internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities. This will require us to integrate, and in some cases, recruit, hire and train additional sales and dedicated marketing personnel, as well as other supportive functions. As a result, we expect our operating expenses to significantly increase as we resume commercial responsibility for Eversense. Although we expect to capture a larger portion of the revenue from Eversense sales following the transition, these revenue increases may not be sufficient to cover our increased operating expenses.
Current report
We have hired many of the Ascensia personnel previously responsible for Eversense commercialization in the United States and plan to offer employment to additional European personnel after finalization of the definitive agreements with Ascensia and appropriate local labor law processes. However, we cannot guarantee you that we will be successful in transitioning all needed personnel to our Company or that we will not experience operational challenges and inefficiencies as we resume commercial responsibility for the product. Additionally, although we are working to transition the commercial responsibility of Eversense in a smooth manner, with minimal disruption to the supply of Eversense to patients, it is possible that health care providers, patients or tender authorities may have questions or concerns regarding the transition that could adversely affect demand for the product. If we encounter any of the issues described above in the transition of commercial responsibility for Eversense back to the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects and results of operations.

Our collaboration agreement with Sequel Med Tech may not lead to the benefits that we anticipate.
Current report
In April 2025, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Sequel Med Tech (the “Sequel Collaboration”), for the purpose of integrating the companies’ technologies to jointly create the first ever automated insulin delivery system with a once-yearly CGM. The development program seeks to integrate Eversense 365 and Sequel’s twiist™ AID system to enable improved outcomes for people living with diabetes In January 2026, the first commercial patients began using the integrated twiist AID system paired with Eversense 365, marking the first time the world’s only one-year CGM has been utilized within an AID system, and we are continuing to work with Sequel toward broader commercialization of the integrated solution. The Sequel Collaboration subjects us to additional risks in our business operations, including but not limited to:
Current report
In addition, there is no guarantee that the Sequel Collaboration will result in the financial and economic benefits we anticipate. Any of the risks listed above and other risks may cause disruption to the technology integration under the Sequel Collaboration or even prevent us from further development efforts related to the project altogether. If the Sequel Collaboration is not successful or if we are unable to generate sufficient revenue as a result of the Sequel Collaboration, it could adversely affect our business and results of operations, and may damage our reputation.
Current report
We operate in a global economy, and our business depends on a global supply chain for the development, manufacturing, and distribution of our products, and for the advancement of the development programs for our future generation products. There is inherent risk, based on the complex relationships among the U.S. and the countries in which we conduct our business, that political, diplomatic, and national security factors can lead to global trade restrictions and changes in trade policies and export regulations that may adversely affect our business and operations. The current international trade and regulatory environment is subject to significant ongoing uncertainty.
Current report
We do not own or operate any manufacturing facilities. We currently rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third parties for the manufacture of our products as well as the future generations of our products under development. Currently, several of our suppliers are located outside of the United States. Tariff policies, particularly those affecting countries where our suppliers are located and medical devices generally, could materially increase our costs and reduce our profitability, including as a result of our inability to adjust pricing for our products. Although these tariff policies have not, to date, had a material effect on our production costs, recent and potential future changes in international trade policies, and medical device-specific tariffs, could present material risks to our operations and financial performance.
Current report
Recent policy discussions have included potential targeted tariffs or other trade measures specifically aimed at medical technologies as part of broader healthcare cost control or national security initiatives. Unlike consumer goods, medical devices are subject to unique regulatory constraints that make rapid supply chain adjustments particularly difficult and costly. Should additional tariffs be imposed specifically targeting medical device components, our production costs could rise significantly, and it may be difficult and costly to qualify alternative sources within another country with a lower tariff rate or within the United States, as developing and qualifying alternative sources typically requires at least several months and substantial investment and regulatory approvals. Moreover, the dynamic and unpredictable tariff and trade landscape creates substantial uncertainty and significant planning challenges for our operations. Changes in tariff classifications, country-of origin requirements, or customs procedures can occur with limited notice. This uncertainty complicates our long-term investment decisions regarding manufacturing facilities, supply chain optimization, and research and development activities.
Current report
Unlike many industries, our ability to pass increased costs to customers is limited by the nature of medical device pricing and reimbursement systems. Many of our products are distributed pursuant to pricing established through annual or multi-year contracts with commercial, third-party payors, and reimbursement methodologies established by government programs, such as Medicare. These arrangements typically include fixed pricing terms that were negotiated prior to the implementation of the recently announced tariffs. As a result, and depending on the timing and scope of the implementation of these tariffs, cost increases due to tariffs may be difficult or impossible to pass through to customers until the next negotiation cycle.
Current report
Current or future tariffs will also result in increased research and development expenses, including with respect to increased costs associated with raw materials, laboratory equipment and research materials and components. Trade restrictions affecting the import of materials necessary for the clinical trials of our future generation products could result in delays to our development timelines. Increased development costs and extended development timelines could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to companies operating in regions with more favorable trade relationships and could reduce investor confidence and negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects.

as trade restrictions or trade barriers, which could restrict us from doing business directly or indirectly in or with certain countries or parties and may impose additional costs and complexity to our business.
Current report
We cannot predict the ultimate effect on our common stock share price of the one-for-twenty Reverse Stock Split of our common stock that was effected on October 17, 2025. The Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of our common stock and magnify any decrease in our overall market capitalization.
Current report
The Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of our common stock and magnify any decrease in our overall market capitalization. The ultimate effect of the Reverse Stock Split on the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will result in any or all of the benefits we expect. While we expect that the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of common stock will proportionally increase the market price of our common stock, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will increase the market price of our common stock by a multiple of the Reverse Stock Split ratio or result in any permanent or sustained increase in the market price of our common stock. The market price of our common stock depends on multiple factors, many of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including our business and financial performance, general market conditions and prospects for future success, any of which could have a counteracting effect to the Reverse Stock Split on the per share price.
Current report
In addition, the Reverse Stock Split also reduced the total number of outstanding shares of common stock, which may lead to reduced trading for our common stock. As a result of a lower number of shares outstanding, the market for our common stock may also become more volatile. The Reverse Stock Split also increased the number of stockholders who own “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of common stock. A purchase or sale of less than 100 shares of common stock (an “odd lot” transaction) may result in incrementally higher trading costs through certain brokers, particularly “full service” brokers. Therefore, those stockholders who own fewer than 100 shares of common stock following the Reverse Stock Split may be required to pay higher transaction costs if they sell their common stock.
Current report
The medical device industry in general, and the glucose testing sector of this industry in particular, are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent litigation based on assertions of patent infringement. We are aware of numerous patents issued to third parties that may relate to the technology used in our business, including the design and manufacture of CGM sensors and CGM systems, as well as methods for continuous glucose monitoring. Each of these patents contains multiple claims, any one of which may be independently asserted against us. The owners of these patents may assert that the manufacture, use, sale or offer for sale of our CGM sensors or CGM systems infringes one or more claims of their patents. For example, as noted in Item 3: Legal Proceedings, in May 2024, the Company received notice and accepted service of a civil complaint that had been filed in the Eastern District of Texas and styled Cellspin Soft, Inc. vs. Senseonics Holdings, Inc., and Ascensia Diabetes Care Holdings AG Case No. 2:24-cv 263. The case was filed by a non-practicing entity alleging patent infringement of three patents. The validity of all three of these patents currently is being challenged in Inter Partes Review proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office by another party, TikTok Inc., (the “TikTok IPR”) and on September 30, 2024, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board instituted a review with respect to each of the asserted claims in these three patents. Together with LifeScan, Inc. and Ascensia, on October 30, 2024, we filed a joint motion to join the TikTok IPR as well as our own independent, similarInter Partes Review petitions challenging these patents. On February 5, 2025, the court issued an order staying the proceedings in the Eastern District of Texas pending resolution of the Inter Partes Reviews. On June 5, 2025, prior to the imminent TikTok IPR final hearings, the Acting Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ordered a sua sponte review by the Acting Director of whether the TikTok IPR could proceed based on certain novel issues relating to TikTok’s Chinese ownership status. On January 23, 2026, the Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued and order stating that, in view of a recent order by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board and TikTok Inc.’s announced joint venture (and the referenced ownership attributes thereof), the parties were authorized to file an additional brief addressing whether the evidence Cellspin Soft, Inc. submitted is sufficient to put TikTok Inc.’s real party in interest identification into dispute, and what effect, if any, the announced joint venture has on the TikTok IPR proceedings. TikTok, Inc. and Cellspin Soft, Inc. filed additional briefs on February 2, 2026. To date, no decision has been rendered on by the Director whether the TikTok IPR can proceed. The Inter Partes Review proceedings are all stayed pending the outcome of the sua sponte Director’s review. The timing…

Numerous U.S. states have enacted comprehensive privacy laws that impose certain obligations on covered businesses, including providing specific disclosures in privacy notices and affording residents with certain rights concerning their personal data. As applicable, such rights may include the right to access, correct, or delete certain personal data, and to opt-out of certain data processing activities, such as targeted advertising, profiling, and automated decision-making. The exercise of these rights may impact our business and ability to provide our products and services. Certain states also impose stricter requirements for processing certain personal data, including sensitive information, such as conducting data privacy impact assessments. These state laws allow for statutory fines for noncompliance. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and other comprehensive U.S. state privacy laws exempt some data processed in the context of clinical trials, but these developments may further complicate compliance efforts, and increase legal risk and compliance costs for us and the third parties with whom we work. Similar laws are being considered in several other states, as well as at the federal and local levels, and we expect more states to pass similar laws in the future.
Current report
Our employees and personnel use generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies to perform their work, and the disclosure and use of personal data in generative AI technologies is subject to various privacy laws and other privacy obligations. Governments have passed and are likely to pass additional laws and regulations regulating generative AI. Our use of this technology could result in additional compliance costs, regulatory investigations and actions, and lawsuits. If we are unable to use generative AI, it could make our business less efficient and result in competitive disadvantages.

Threat actors may also gain access to other networks and systems after a compromise of our networks and systems. For example, threat actors may use an initial compromise of one part of our environment to gain access to other parts of our environment, or leverage a compromise of our networks or systems to gain access to the networks or systems of third parties with whom we work, such as through phishing or supply chain attacks.

In addition, FDA and foreign regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted by the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities in ways that may significantly affect our business and our products. For example, in July 2024, Regulation (EU) 2024/1860 entered into application in the EU. The Regulation imposes new manufacturer obligations, including mandatory pre-notification of supply interruptions starting January 10, 2025. In addition, the Regulation introduces the gradual rollout of EUDAMED, the EU’s central database for medical devices and diagnostics. Starting from May 28, 2026, the use of the first four modules will become mandatory - actor registration, UDI/Devices registration, notified bodies and certificates, and Market Surveillance. The evolving nature of the EU regulatory environment creates uncertainty, and additional amendments or guidance could further increase compliance burden or disrupt market access for certain products.
Current report
The current administration is pursuing policies to reduce regulations and expenditures across government agencies including at the Department of Health and Human Services, the FDA, CMS and related agencies. Such actions and policies may, among other things, significantly reduce U.S. medical device prices, potentially impacting manufacturers’ global pricing strategies and profitability, while increasing their operational costs and compliance risks.

The rights that we have granted to Abbott in connection with a recent private placement may affect the likelihood of a change of control of Senseonics.
Current report
In connection with an investment in Senseonics made by Abbott Laboratories in May 2025, we granted Abbott certain information rights regarding the clinical and regulatory development status and progress of our Gemini and Freedom development programs. We also granted Abbott preferential negotiation rights with respect to certain future strategic transactions, including a merger, acquisition or other transaction involving a change in control of Senseonics, the sale or disposition of a material portion of our consolidated assets, the sale, exclusive license or exclusive distribution arrangement involving any of our material intellectual property (including the Gemini product and/or the Freedom product), excluding certain distribution agreements with respect to any product in one or more jurisdictions outside of the United States. Although these rights are subject to certain conditions and limitations, the existence of these rights may, prior to their expiration, impact the likelihood that Abbott or other third parties may seek to explore an acquisition of us or pursue a distribution agreement with us with respect to future products. As a result, the existence of these rights could have an adverse effect on our stock price until the rights terminate.

Our Commercialization Agreement with Ascensia to market Eversense may not be successful.
Previous report
We have a Commercialization Agreement with Ascensia, pursuant to which we have granted Ascensia the exclusive right to distribute Eversense worldwide, subject to certain exceptions. Pursuant to this agreement, our future success will be dependent on Ascensia effectively marketing and selling Eversense. We expect that the substantial majority of our future revenue will come pursuant to this agreement. Prior to our Commercialization Agreement with Ascensia, Ascensia had limited experience with marketing durable medical equipment and no experience marketing CGM systems. In order to strengthen commercial execution, Ascensia has recently established an independent dedicated business unit responsible for commercializing Eversense, which reports directly to Ascensia’s parent company, PHC Holdings Corporation (“PHC”), and Ascensia has engaged a new president of CGM to lead that business unit. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful. If Ascensia fails to perform satisfactorily under this agreement, including among other things if they are delayed or unsuccessful in growing the adoption of our product, our commercialization efforts and financial results would be directly and adversely affected.
Previous report
The Commercialization Agreement is terminable by Ascensia under a number of circumstances, including if we undergo a change of control. The agreement is terminable by either party if the other party materially breaches its obligations under the agreement; provided, however, that if Ascensia is unable to achieve the specified minimum spending or revenue targets described above, then we will only have the right to convert Ascensia’s exclusive rights to

nonexclusive rights, which may make it difficult for us to successfully engage with another commercial partner. The agreement is also terminable by either party if the other party undergoes bankruptcy, dissolution or winding up.

We cannot guarantee this agreement with Ascensia will be successful, that it will continue, or that we will be able to achieve or maintain any particular volume of sales under the agreement or increase the volume of sales at a satisfactory pace or at all from this relationship in the future.

Our Commercialization Agreement with Ascensia and the terms of our debt may discourage a change of control of our company.
Previous report
The terms of our agreements with Ascensia and PHC may discourage a third party from acquiring, or attempting to acquire, control of our company, even if a change of control was considered favorable by some or all of our stockholders. For example, because of the exclusivity of the distribution arrangements with Ascensia and the minimum five-year term of that exclusivity (which may be extended under certain circumstances), prospective strategic acquirors may be unwilling to undertake an acquisition of our company.
Previous report
Our revenue is dependent on the success of Ascensia in commercializing our product and its future versions. Our product is a new product for Ascensia globally and they must continue to establish certain functions of their U.S. commercial organization to successfully market and sell our CGM system. Ascensia’s continued organizational development of its sales and marketing capabilities will be critical to successful commercialization of our Eversense systems. If Ascensia is unable to maintain effective sales, marketing and other functions that are required to support the product, it will have a materially negative impact on our net revenues from Eversense.

To implement our business strategy we need to, among other things, gain regulatory approval or certification in other regions where we intend to sell our products, expand our commercial launch in the United States and Europe, and develop future generations of Eversense. We have never been profitable from operations and do not expect to be profitable for at least the next several years. We expect to make significant investments in product development as we pursue these objectives. The extent of our future operating losses and the timing of profitability are highly uncertain, and we expect to continue incurring expenses and operating losses over the next several years. Any additional operating losses may have an adverse effect on our stockholders' equity, and we cannot assure you that we will ever be able to achieve profitability. Even if we achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to become and remain profitable would depress the value of our company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, maintain our development efforts, obtain regulatory approvals or certificates, diversify our product offerings or continue our operations.

Both before and after a product is commercially released, we will have ongoing responsibilities under U.S. and EU regulations. We will also be subject to periodic inspections by the FDA, the Notified Bodies in the EEA and comparable foreign authorities to determine compliance with regulatory requirements, such as the QSR, of the FDA, medical device reporting regulations, vigilance in reporting of adverse events and regulations regarding notification, corrections, and recalls. These inspections can result in observations or reports, warning letters or other similar notices or forms of enforcement action. If the FDA, or any comparable foreign regulatory authority concludes that we are not in compliance with applicable laws or regulations, or that any of our products are ineffective or pose an unreasonable health risk, such authority could ban these products, suspend, vary or cancel our marketing authorizations or CE Certificates of Conformity, impose "stop-sale" and "stop-import" orders, refuse to issue export certificates, detain or seize adulterated or misbranded products, order a recall, repair, replacement, correction or refund of such products, or require us to notify health providers and others that the products present unreasonable risks of substantial harm to the public health.

Our current business strategy is highly dependent on the successful commercialization of Eversense by Ascensia and achieving and maintaining market acceptance. In order to sell Eversense to people with diabetes, we and Ascensia must educate them, their caregivers and healthcare providers that Eversense is an attractive alternative to competitive products for the monitoring of glucose levels, including SMBG, as well as other competitive CGM systems and alternatives to CGM methodologies. Market acceptance and adoption of Eversense depends on educating people with diabetes, as well as their caregivers and healthcare providers, as to the distinct features, ease-of-use, positive lifestyle impact, and other perceived benefits of Eversense as compared to competitive products.

Market acceptance and adoption of Eversense depends on educating people with diabetes, as well as their caregivers and healthcare providers, as to the distinct features, ease-of-use, positive lifestyle impact, and other perceived benefits of Eversense as compared to competitive products.

We do not have any manufacturing facilities or direct manufacturing personnel. We currently rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third parties for the manufacture of Eversense for commercial sale and development of future CGM products. Our business strategy depends on our third-party manufacturers' ability to manufacture Eversense in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis so as to meet consumer demand, while adhering to product quality standards, complying with regulatory requirements and managing manufacturing costs. We are subject to numerous risks relating to our reliance on the manufacturing capabilities of our third-party manufacturers, including:

including financial difficulties, damage to their manufacturing equipment or facilities, or product discontinuations. As a result, there is a risk that certain components could be discontinued and no longer available to us. We may be required to make significant "last time" purchases of component inventory that is being discontinued by the supplier to ensure supply continuity. If we fail to obtain sufficient quantities of high-quality components to meet demand for our products in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to us, we would have to seek alternative sources of supply. Because of factors such as the proprietary nature of our products, our quality control standards and regulatory requirements, we may not be able to quickly engage additional or replacement suppliers for some of our critical components. Failure of any of our suppliers to deliver components at the level our business requires could disrupt the manufacturing of our products and limit our ability to meet our sales commitments, which could harm our reputation and adversely affect our business.
Current wording
We generally use a small number of suppliers of components for our products. Depending on a limited number of suppliers exposes us to risks, including limited control over pricing, availability, quality and delivery schedules. Generally, we do not have long-term supply agreements with our suppliers, and, in many cases, we make our purchases on a purchase order basis. Under most of our supply and manufacturing agreements, we have no obligation to buy any given quantity of products, and our suppliers have no obligation to sell us or to manufacture for us any given quantity of components or products. As a result, our ability to purchase adequate quantities of components or our products may be limited, and we may not be able to convince suppliers to make components and products available to us. Additionally, our suppliers may encounter problems that limit their ability to supply components or manufacture products for us, including financial difficulties, damage to their manufacturing equipment or facilities, or product discontinuations. As a result, there is a risk that certain components could be discontinued and no longer available to us.

If we fail to generate demand by developing products that incorporate features requested by people with diabetes, their caregivers or healthcare providers, or if we do not obtain regulatory clearance, certification or approval for future versions of Eversense in time to meet market demand, we may fail to generate sales sufficient to achieve or maintain profitability. We have in the past experienced, and we may in the future experience, delays in various phases of product development, approval, certification and commercial launch, including during research and development, regulatory submission and approval or certification, manufacturing, limited release testing, marketing and customer education efforts. Any delays in our anticipated product launches may significantly impede our ability to successfully compete in our markets. In particular, such delays could cause customers to delay or forego purchases of our products, or to purchase our competitors' products. Even if we are able to successfully develop future versions of Eversense when anticipated, these products may not produce sales in excess of the costs of development, and they may be quickly rendered obsolete by the changing preferences of people with diabetes or the introduction by our competitors of products embodying new technologies or features.

We plan to derive nearly all of our revenue from sales of Eversense in the United States and Europe and expect to do so for the next several years. Patients who receive treatment for their medical conditions and their healthcare providers generally rely on third party payors to reimburse all or part of the costs associated with their medical treatment, including healthcare providers' services. As a result, access to coverage and adequate reimbursement for Eversense by third-party payors is essential to the acceptance of our products by people with diabetes. Similarly, healthcare providers may choose not to order a product unless third-party payors cover and reimburse a substantial portion of the product. Coverage determinations and reimbursement levels of both our products and the healthcare provider's performance of the insertion and removal procedures are critical to the commercial success of our product, and if we or our commercial partners are not able to secure positive coverage determinations and reimbursement levels for our products or the insertion and removal procedures, our business would be materially adversely affected.

Private insurance companies and other private third-party payors set payor-specific reimbursement policies. The extent of coverage and the rate of reimbursement vary on a payor-by-payor basis. Most of the largest private third-party payors, in terms of the number of covered lives, have issued coverage policies for the category of CGM devices. These policies include varied coverage requirements regarding patient condition and characteristics. Many of these coverage policies reimburse for CGM systems under durable medical equipment benefits, which are restrictive in nature and require the healthcare provider or supplier to comply with extensive documentation and other requirements.

It is possible that some third-party payors will not offer any coverage for our products. Even if favorable coverage and reimbursement status is attained for Eversense, less favorable coverage policies and reimbursement rates may be implemented in the future.

Eversense is an implantable medical device in the clinic setting and thus follows a different reimbursement path when compared to the current CGM class. Some payors will adopt a payment methodology that will bundle payment of device and procedure back to the implanting clinic. Other payors may choose to reimburse device and procedure separately. Without a Category 1 code to define the payment process, there will be some heterogeneity in this process. Given this heterogeneity, we will have to work closely with certified clinics to keep abreast of which process to follow and what to expect. This will be disruptive to some clinics and could delay product uptake until the process of payment becomes more homogenous and well defined for clinics to follow. Until a steady state is reached, delays in processing and clinic operating coordination could result in the loss of sales, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Another key element of our business strategy is utilizing market research to understand how people with diabetes are seeking to improve their diabetes therapy management. This strategy underlies our entire product design, marketing and customer support approach and is the basis on which we developed Eversense. However, our market research is based on interviews, focus groups and online surveys involving people with diabetes on insulin, their caregivers and healthcare providers that represent only a small percentage of the overall diabetes market. As a result, the attributes we incorporated into the Eversense system may not be reflective of what is desired by the various constituents in the diabetes market. Consequently, our estimates of our future market share and penetration may not be accurate and our sales may be less than estimated.

Our ability to achieve our strategic objectives will depend, among other things, on our ability to develop and commercialize products for the monitoring and management of diabetes that offer distinct features, have a longer duration than available alternatives, are easy-to-use, receive adequate coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors, include essential safety features and are more appealing than available alternatives. Our primary competitors, as well as a number of other companies, medical researchers and existing medical device companies are pursuing new delivery devices, delivery technologies, sensing technologies, procedures, drugs and other therapies for the monitoring, treatment and prevention of diabetes. For example, the National Institutes of Health and other supporters of diabetes research are continually seeking ways to prevent, cure or improve treatment of diabetes, which, if successful, could render glucose monitoring devices, like Eversense, obsolete. Any technological breakthroughs in diabetes monitoring, treatment or prevention could reduce the potential market for Eversense or render Eversense less competitive or obsolete altogether, which would significantly reduce our potential sales.

A key to maintaining and growing our revenue will be establishing a customer base and retaining a high percentage of our customers due to the potentially significant revenue generated from ongoing purchases of disposable sensors. Ascensia intends to continue developing customer loyalty programs to help with retention aimed at patients, their caregivers and healthcare providers, which include patient ambassadors, training specific to Eversense, ongoing support by sales and clinical employees and 24/7 technical support and customer service. If demand for our products fluctuates as a result of the introduction of competitive products, changes in reimbursement policies, manufacturing problems, perceived safety issues with our or our competitors' products, the failure to secure regulatory clearance or approvals, certifications or for other reasons, our ability to attract and retain customers could be harmed. The failure to retain a high percentage of our customers would negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

Any side effects, manufacturing defects, misuse or abuse associated with Eversense or future versions of Eversense systems could result in patient injury or death. The medical device industry has historically been subject to extensive litigation over product liability claims, and we cannot offer any assurance that we will not face product liability lawsuits.

Eversense or future versions of Eversense may contain undetected errors or defects. Disruptions or other performance problems with Eversense or future versions of Eversense, including our sensors not lasting for the full approved or certified duration of use, may harm our reputation.

For example, one of our vendors who provides a component to the Eversense sensor has communicated to us its belief that one of its employees should be named as a co-inventor on a related patent application. We have communicated to the third party that its employee should not be named as a co-inventor and its employee has not been named as a co-inventor to date. In addition, we may have limited control over the amount and timing of resources that any future collaborators devote to our or their future products. Disputes between us and our collaborators may result in litigation or arbitration which would increase our expenses and divert the attention of our management. Further, these transactions and arrangements will be contractual in nature and will generally be terminable under the terms of the applicable agreements and, in such event, we may not continue to have rights to the products relating to such transaction or arrangement or may need to purchase such rights at a premium.

Additionally, we may not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the transaction or arrangement, which could create the potential risk of creating impasses on decisions, and our future collaborators may have economic or business interests or goals that are, or that may become, inconsistent with our business interests or goals. It is possible that conflicts may arise with our collaborators, such as conflicts concerning the achievement of performance milestones, or the interpretation of significant terms under any agreement, such as those related to financial obligations or the ownership or control of intellectual property developed during the collaboration. If any conflicts arise with any future collaborators, they may act in their self-interest, which may be adverse to our best interest, and they may breach their obligations to us. For example, one of our vendors who provides a component to the Eversense sensor has communicated to us its belief that one of its employees should be named as a co-inventor on a related patent application.

As a result of our lack of operating history as a commercial-stage company and Ascensia’s lack of experience selling CGM systems, and Eversense in particular, and due to the complexities of the industry and regulatory framework in which we operate, it will be difficult for us to forecast demand for our future products and to forecast our sales with any degree of certainty. For example, many of the products we will seek to develop and introduce in the future will require regulatory approval, certification or clearance and import licenses before we can sell such products and given that the timing of such approvals, certification, clearances or licenses may be uncertain, it will be difficult for us to predict sales projections for these products with any degree of certainty before such approvals, certifications, clearances or licenses are obtained. In addition, we will be increasing our operating expenses as we expand our business. Accordingly, we may experience substantial variability in our operating results from year to year and quarter to quarter. If our quarterly or annual operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. Furthermore, any quarterly or annual fluctuations in our operating results may, in turn, cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. We believe that quarterly comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.

Our product revenues have historically been lower in the first quarter of the year as compared to the fourth quarter of the preceding year. We believe this arises primarily due to the annual reset of health insurance plan deductibles that occur at the beginning of the insurance plan year and the utilization of patient assistance programs to offset those costs and our distributors reductions of inventory of our products in the first quarter. The seasonal variance is has also been impacted by the timing of Ascensia’s purchases in accordance with minimum purchase requirements under our distribution agreement. As a result, our distributors typically end the calendar year with higher levels of inventory than at the end of the first quarter of the following year. As a result, our net sales are typically lower in the first quarter of the year than would otherwise have been the case as a result of the reduction of product inventory at our distributors. Many health insurance plans and government insurance programs reset annual limits on deductibles and out-of-pocket costs at the beginning of each calendar year and require participants to pay for a large portion of medical products and services until such deductibles and annual out-of-pocket cost limits are met. As a result of these factors, patients may delay medical expenses or find cheaper alternatives until such deductibles and annual out-of-pocket cost limits are met. Any reduction in the demand for Eversense as a result of the foregoing factors or otherwise, can adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $74.6 million consisting of cash and investments in highly liquid U.S. money market funds. On October 28, 2024, we raised additional proceeds of approximately $14.8 million before expenses incurred by the Company in a registered direct offering of the Company’s common stock and concurrent private placement of warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. We do not expect our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations through the next twelve months and we will need to seek additional capital to fund our operations, working capital needs, capital expenditures and other strategic initiatives beyond that time. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital or that any needed financing will be available in the future at terms acceptable to us.

We are highly dependent on the management, research and development, commercial, financial and business development expertise of Tim Goodnow, our Chief Executive Officer, Rick Sullivan, our Chief Financial Officer, Mukul Jain, our Chief Operating Officer, Brian Hansen, Chief Commercial Officer and Ken Horton, our General Counsel and Corporate Development Advisor, as well as the other members of our scientific and clinical teams. Although we have employment agreements with our executive officers, each of them may terminate their employment with us at any time and will continue to be able to do so. We do not maintain “key person” insurance for any of our executives or employees.

Recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and clinical personnel and, as we progress the development of our product pipeline toward scaling up for commercialization, manufacturing and sales and marketing personnel, will also be critical to our success. The loss of the services of our executive officers or other key employees could impede the achievement of our research, development and commercialization objectives and seriously harm our ability to successfully implement our business strategy. Furthermore, replacing executive officers and key employees may be difficult and may take an extended period of time because of the limited number of individuals in our industry with the breadth of skills and experience required to successfully develop, gain regulatory approval of and commercialize our products. Competition to hire from this limited pool is intense, and we may be unable to hire, train, retain or motivate these key personnel on acceptable terms given the competition among numerous medical device companies for similar personnel, many of which have greater financial and other resources dedicated to attracting and retaining personnel. We also experience competition for the hiring of scientific and clinical personnel from universities and research institutions. In addition, we rely on consultants and advisors, including scientific and clinical advisors, to assist us in formulating our research and development and commercialization strategy. Our consultants and advisors may be employed by employers other than us and may have commitments under consulting or advisory contracts with other entities that may limit their availability to us. If we are unable to continue to attract and retain high quality personnel, our ability to pursue our growth strategy will be limited.

Previous wording
As of December 31, 2024, we had 117 full-time employees. As our commercialization progresses, we may experience significant growth in the number of our employees and the scope of our operations, particularly in the areas of research, product development, clinical sciences, regulatory affairs, supply chain, and marketing. To manage our future growth, we must continue to implement and improve our managerial, operational and financial systems, expand our facilities and continue to recruit and train additional qualified personnel. Due to our limited financial resources and the limited experience of our management team in managing a company with such anticipated growth, we may not be able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations or recruit and train additional qualified personnel. The expansion of our operations may lead to significant costs and may divert our management and business development resources. Any inability to manage growth could delay the execution of our business plans or disrupt our operations.

As of December 31, 2025, we had 137 full-time employees. As we resume responsibility for the commercialization of our products, we expect to experience significant growth in the number of our employees and the scope of our operations, particularly in the areas of sales and marketing and commercial operations. In connection with that effort, effective January 2, 2026, we expanded our workforce by hiring more than 150 employees, primarily within commercial sales, marketing, and related support functions. We also may experience growth in the number of employees in the areas of research, product development, clinical sciences, regulatory affairs, supply chain, logistics, clinical/insertion services, or additional commercial activities. To manage our future growth, we must continue to implement and improve our managerial, operational and financial systems, expand our facilities and continue to recruit and train additional qualified personnel.

If patents are issued on our pending patent applications, the resulting patents are projected to expire on dates ranging from 2037 to 2043, subject to any patent term extensions or adjustments that may be available for such patents. We are also seeking patent protection for our proprietary technology in Europe, Japan, China, Canada, India, Australia and other countries and regions throughout the world. We have 14 U.S. trademark registrations and 133 foreign trademark registrations, as well as one pending foreign trademark application.

We rely on our trademarks and trade names to distinguish our products from the products of our competitors and have registered or applied to register many of these trademarks. For example, we have one pending foreign application for the "Eversense Now" trademark relating to our mobile application. We cannot assure you that our trademark applications will be approved in a timely manner or at all. Third parties also may oppose our trademark applications, or otherwise challenge our use of the trademarks. In the event that our trademarks are successfully challenged, we could be forced to rebrand our products, which could result in loss of brand recognition, and could require us to devote additional resources to marketing new brands. Further, we cannot assure you that competitors will not infringe upon our trademarks, or that we will have adequate resources to enforce our trademarks.

Our success will depend in part on not infringing the patents or violating the other proprietary rights of third parties. Significant litigation regarding patent rights exists in our industry. Our competitors in both the United States and abroad, many of which have substantially greater resources and have made substantial investments in competing technologies, may have applied for or obtained or may in the future apply for and obtain, patents that will prevent, limit or otherwise interfere with our ability to make and sell our products. The large number of patents, the rapid rate of new patent issuances, and the complexities of the technology involved increase the risk of patent litigation.

Previous wording
The medical device industry in general, and the glucose testing sector of this industry in particular, are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent litigation based on assertions of patent infringement. We are aware of numerous patents issued to third parties that may relate to the technology used in our business, including the design and manufacture of CGM sensors and CGM systems, as well as methods for continuous glucose monitoring. Each of these patents contains multiple claims, any one of which may be independently asserted against us. The owners of these patents may assert that the manufacture, use, sale or offer for sale of our CGM sensors or CGM systems infringes one or more claims of their patents. For example, as noted in Item 3: Legal Proceedings, in May 2024, we were served with a complaint by Cellspin Soft, Inc., a non-practicing entity, filed against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging that we infringe on certain patents owned by it and seeking unspecified damages. We note that the validity of all three patents-in-suit is currently being challenged in Inter Partes Review proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, where the Patent Trial and Appeal Board instituted a review which the Company has joined. On February 5, 2025, the court issued an order staying the complaint pending resolution of the Inter Partes Review. We are further reviewing the allegations, and intend to vigorously defend this matter, however, the outcome of any litigation, such as this, is inherently unpredictable.

The FDA audits compliance with the QSR through periodic announced and unannounced inspections of manufacturing and other facilities. The FDA may impose inspections or audits at any time. If we or our suppliers have significant non-compliance issues or if any corrective action plan that we or our suppliers propose in response to observed deficiencies is not sufficient, the FDA could take enforcement action against us. We are subject to equivalent limitations and penalties in foreign countries. Any of the foregoing actions could impair our reputation, business, financial condition and operating results.

We generally use a small number of suppliers of components for our products. Depending on a limited number of suppliers exposes us to risks, including limited control over pricing, availability, quality and delivery schedules. Generally, we do not have long-term supply agreements with our suppliers, and, in many cases, we make our purchases on a purchase order basis. Under most of our supply and manufacturing agreements, we have no obligation to buy any given quantity of products, and our suppliers have no obligation to sell us or to manufacture for us any given quantity of components or products. As a result, our ability to purchase adequate quantities of components or our products may be limited, and we may not be able to convince suppliers to make components and products available to us.
