CGM commercial operations to transition from Ascensia Diabetes Care to Senseonics
Brian Hansen to be appointed Chief Commercial Officer
Non-dilutive debt facility expanded up to $100 million with Hercules Capital to fund commercial organization
Conference Call scheduled for September 4, 2025 at 8:00 A.M. Eastern Time
GERMANTOWN, Md., Sept. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:SENS) a medical technology company focused on the development and manufacturing of long-term, implantable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems for people with diabetes, today announced a mutually executed Memorandum of Understanding to transition all commercialization and distribution of Eversense 365 and future products from Ascensia Diabetes Care, a member of PHC Group, to Senseonics.
Since 2020, Ascensia has held the exclusive worldwide distribution rights for Eversense products, including Eversense 365. Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, Senseonics would assume responsibility for all global sales, marketing and commercialization in the U.S. beginning January 1, 2026, and utilize Transition Service Agreements through Ascensia until fully established in markets outside the U.S. Brian Hansen, President of CGM at Ascensia since February 2024 and former Chief Commercial Officer at Tandem Diabetes Care, would join Senseonics as Chief Commercial Officer on January 1, 2026. The companies are currently working together to develop definitive documentation for the planned transaction.
As awareness of Eversense continues to grow with the momentum of the Eversense 365 approval, the go-to-market approach is increasingly diverging from Ascensia's core blood glucose monitoring business. Eversense is at an inflection point that requires strategic investment and fully-dedicated commercial efforts, along with tight vertical integration to quickly respond to market needs. By unifying the Eversense business and incorporating commercial activities directly within Senseonics, the companies believe Eversense would achieve accelerated growth and realize its full potential faster than under the current structure.
Tim Goodnow, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Senseonics stated, "I'm thrilled to bring Eversense 365 commercialization back in-house and directly control investment in growing the brand to better serve the needs of patients and providers. With Brian to remain at the helm of Senseonics' commercialization efforts, we are confident that this move will yield benefits for our customers and our shareholders. Eversense 365 is the world's first and only year-long continuous glucose monitor, deserving a dedicated sales force and commercial infrastructure. We truly appreciate the partnership and investment that PHC Group and Ascensia has made in Senseonics. We look forward to welcoming the talented commercial team to Senseonics to help ensure a positive experience for our customers, while working to accelerate growth of Eversense 365."
Koichiro Sato, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Strategy Officer of PHC Group and CEO of Ascensia Diabetes Care, commented: "We are very proud to have worked with Senseonics on commercializing Eversense and are committed to supporting Senseonics in establishing their own commercial operations and smoothly transitioning to them under the planned agreements. The Eversense long-term CGM system can help overcome many frustrations in diabetes management and we believe in the growth potential of Eversense and remain invested in Senseonics."
For Senseonics, bringing Eversense commercial sales and operations in-house as planned should position the company to better meet payer, provider and patient needs, as well as improve efficiency and agility. Owning the commercial channel is also expected to increase topline revenue and expand margins by eliminating Ascensia revenue sharing. The investments in the commercial organization would be funded in part by improved margins, but also from the expanded $100 million non-dilutive debt facility with Hercules Capital, Inc. (NYSE:HTGC). Senseonics expects to see immediate revenue improvement and gross margin expansion to 50% in 2026, with a planned increase to more than 70% gross margins at scale.
