Additionally, during Q1 2018, DarioHealth raised approximately $6.6 million. The investment was led by a specialized healthcare technologies fund joined by existing major shareholders of DarioHealth, among others. The proceeds will be used to execute on the Company's growth plans.

For the first time, the Company is providing revenue guidance. The Company forecasts 2018 revenues to be between $8.3 million and $9.3 million.

Erez Raphael, Chairman and CEO of DarioHealth, commented, "Our vision and focus has enabled us to achieve real progress and numerous accomplishments during 2017 and has positioned Dario for continued growth and market penetration in 2018.

"Both the fourth quarter and full year 2017 saw record sales and we established a more predictable stream of high margin recurring subscription revenues.  We are excited by the positive engagement we are achieving with our users translating into significant monthly user growth and customer lifetime value. Based on our continued momentum, we expect annual revenue growth of at least 60% in 2018.

"Today, more than ever, we have confidence that DarioHealth will transform the market from a pure monitoring solution into a full digital care solution. Dario's products combine monitoring disposables, software and service capabilities, and will result in a significantly better clinical benefit to our user."

Full Year 2017 Results Summary

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, revenues were $5.2 million, an 84% increase from $2.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016.

Revenues generated during the year ended December 31, 2017 were derived mainly from the sales of DarioHealth's components, including the Dario™ Blood Glucose Monitoring System itself, through direct sales to consumers located mainly in the United States, Australia and Germany, through the Company's online stores and through distributors in Canada, Italy and the United Kingdom.

Gross profit increased by $2,141,000, a 258% increase to a profit of $1,311,000 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, as compared to a $830,000 gross loss in the twelve months ended December 31, 2016.

Operating loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 increased by $3.3 million to $14.4 million, as compared to a $11.1 million operating loss in the twelve months ended December 31, 2016.

The increase in operating loss was mainly due to the increase in operating expenses partially offset by the improvement in the gross profit compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2016.

In the first quarter of 2017 we recorded in our financial income, warrant revaluation income of $7.4 million, as a result of reclassifying warrants issued to investors in March and August of 2016 as a "Liability related to Warrants," in 2016, due to its exercise price protection feature. The exercise price protection feature expired on March 8, 2017, and as a result, the liability related to these warrants was reclassified back to shareholders' equity in the first quarter of 2017, while recording related financing income of $7.4 million in the first quarter of 2017.

During the year end preparation of our financial statements we determined with our auditors to revise the accounting approach to this revaluation of warrants and as a result we have revised our first quarter financing income to a financing expense of $1.2 million. As a result of this change we have resubmitted our quarterly reports. This change has no effect on the shareholders' equity nor has it any effect on the Company's cash position.

Net loss attributable to holders of common stock increased by $4.8 million, a 45% increase to $15.7 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, as compared to $10.9 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2016.

Fourth Quarter 2017 Results Summary

Revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2017 was $1,578,000, an 88% increase from $838,000 in fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016, and a 15% increase sequentially from the third quarter of 2017.

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2017 included direct-to-consumer sales in the United States, as well as Australia and initial sales in Germany, and product sales to distributors in the United Kingdom and Canada.

Gross profit increased by $1,216,000, a 188% increase to a profit of $569,000 in the fourth quarter of 2017, as compared to a gross loss of $647,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Operating loss for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2017 decreased by $0.7 million to $3.1 million, as compared to a $3.8 million operating loss in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016. This decrease is mainly due to the improvement in our gross profit partially offset by the increase in our operating expenses.

Net loss attributable to holders of common stock decreased by $0.6 million to $3.26 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared to $3.86 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.

As of December 31, 2017, cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.7 million. During the first quarter, of 2018, the Company raised $6.6 million in a private placement.
