Lifecare is advancing toward commercialization of its implantable continuous glucose monitor (CGM), with a design freeze and manufacturability milestone imminent; production capacity is targeted at 130,000 units annually by 2029.
The company projects a base case peak revenue of just under $1 billion by 2030, aiming for 75,000 patients per year by that time, with a sustainable revenue model due to the growing diabetes population.
Lifecare is pursuing a capital-efficient, partner-driven business model, focusing on in-house R&D and manufacturing while relying on partners for sales and marketing; initial commercialization will target the veterinary market in 2025, followed by human market entry in Europe in 2027.
Financially, Q1 2025 saw an operating loss of NOK 25 million, net cash outflow of NOK 21.2 million, and a quarter-end cash position of NOK 40.4 million; the company expects its current and potential funding (including upcoming warrant exercise) to provide runway into 2026.
Key upcoming milestones include a pre-CE study in 2024, CE study initiation in 2025, and CE mark targeted for 2026; Lifecare is also improving sensor chemistry for higher sensitivity and accuracy, with ongoing in vivo validation and no significant adverse safety findings to date.
