MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Livongo Health, Inc., (Nasdaq: LVGO) today announced a preliminary financial result for the first quarter of fiscal year 2020.
Livongo now expects revenue for the first quarter of 2020 to be in the range of $65.5 million to $66.5 million, versus prior guidance of $60.0 million to $62.0 million. This financial result for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 is preliminary and subject to change in connection with the completion of the company’s quarter-end closing process and the preparation of the unaudited financial statements for the first quarter of 2020.

“We began 2020 well positioned to pursue our mission of empowering people with chronic conditions to live better and healthier lives, and now more than ever, our efforts are necessary to support our Members and Clients through the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Zane Burke, Chief Executive Officer of Livongo. “Our record Client launches of over 620 in the first quarter and Member enrollment are ahead of expectations and we continue to see strong demand in our pipeline. Livongo is in the unique position of providing assistance to some of the most vulnerable populations, people with chronic conditions, and according to last week’s CDC report, 78 percent of people who were admitted to the intensive care unit due to COVID-19 had at least one pre-existing health condition1. Livongo’s remote monitoring and 24/7 telehealth capabilities provide a world-class health and care experience that empowers people to stay healthy, at-home, and out of harm’s way.”
