LabStyle Innovations Provides Recap of Investor Update Call

CAESAREA, Israel, April 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LabStyle Innovations Corp. (OTCQB: DRIO), developer of the Dario™ Diabetes Management Solution, provided a recap of the key messages delivered yesterday by the company's senior management Erez Raphael, president and chief executive officer, and Gadi Levin, chief financial officer, in an investor update call. A replay of the call can be accessed at http://mydario.investorroom.com/news-headlines

On the call, Messrs. Raphael and Levin reviewed LabStyle's achievements to date, and shared the positive results of the company's recent soft commercial launch of Dario in the United Kingdom, Italy, and New Zealand, which commenced over the past several weeks.  LabStyle's management believes that the goals of the soft launch are being achieved by: 

• Obtaining market acceptance and market demand for Dario through initial positive feedback from users and LabStyle's distribution partners.
• Increasing product awareness and number of app users through marketing campaigns and social media channels.
• Validating LabStyle's ability to process weekly shipments to various distributors in different locations in the world.

Management also reported on the reimbursement status in the designated markets where reimbursement codes for users with Type 1 diabetes is expected to be received in the coming months, commencing in Italy by the end of April.  LabStyle plans to continue to penetrate the Type 2 diabetic market, where demand appears higher than expected in some countries.

In addition, the call revealed exciting milestones that LabStyle is achieving such as plans for distribution in additional key countries throughout Europe and North American, as well as the plans for the Dario App for Android users to be released by the beginning of June.  

In order to provide a very clear differentiator in the blood glucose monitoring landscape, the Dario solution is extremely software oriented with a novel platform that was designed so that the commercial success in the diabetes market can potentially be transferred to use other chronic diseases. 

Mr. Raphael, President and CEO of LabStyle, commented, "This is an exciting time for LabStyle, and we were pleased to connect with the investment community this morning to share our progress to date and vision for the future.  In the past year, we've achieved some significant milestones, including European regulatory approval of our Dario Diabetes Management Solution and our initial soft launch of the product in select jurisdictions.   We are looking forward to achieving even more for the remainder of 2014 and beyond, including the anticipated achievement of our first sales this quarter to a potential FDA approval of Dario in the U.S. later this year.  Our initial soft launch is progressing on schedule.  The delivery of the first ready-to-use smart meter is yet another key milestone in the evolution of our company.  As we spread to new markets, we are proud to have the opportunity to help make life easier for the millions of people with diabetes."
