LifeWatch grew revenues in its core US cardiac monitoring business by 9.8% in
2015

Zug/Switzerland, January 29, 2016 - LifeWatch AG (SIX Swiss Exchange: LIFE), a
leading developer and provider of medical solutions and remote diagnostic
monitoring services to the digital health market, today announces preliminary
unaudited key figures for 2015.

LifeWatch increased revenues in its core US cardiac monitoring business by 9.8%
in 2015. Total revenue grew by 8.2%, which is slightly below guidance, as a
result of lower than expected device sales from the Far East and delays of FDA
regulatory clearances for its patch products, one of which received FDA
clearance earlier this month.

Based on preliminary unaudited numbers, LifeWatch expects an EBITDA margin,
after adjusting for one-off and unplanned events, of approximately 14%, which is
at the level indicated in its guidance. On an unadjusted basis, the EBITDA
margin is expected to be around 12%. Delays in the FDA clearance of our ACT
software for the Android operating system, which caused additional purchases of
more costly phones, as well as the refocusing of customer service activities in
the USA, resulted in additional costs leading to an expected adjusted EBIT
margin of between 6% and 7%, which is below guidance. On an unadjusted basis the
EBIT margin is expected to be between 4% and 5%. The establishment of our new
business in Turkey and the write-off of our remaining LifeWatch V inventory and
components resulted in a one-off cost of around USD 2 million.

Dr. Stephan Rietiker, CEO of LifeWatch, stated: "Despite unexpected delays in
obtaining FDA product clearances, 2015 was a very successful year for LifeWatch.
Revenue growth was significantly above the market and adjusted EBITDA of over
USD 14 million was the second best in the history of the company. We remain
positive for 2016, particularly given the recent FDA clearance and CE Mark for
our Mobile Cardiac Telemetry 1-Lead patch and expect double-digit revenue growth
and improving EBIT and EBITDA margins in 2016 and beyond."

LifeWatch will provide detailed information on its 2015 results on March 17,
2016.
