MALVERN, PA., May 7, 2024 – Neuronetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: STIM) (the “Company” or “Neuronetics”) a commercial stage medical technology company with a strategic vision of transforming the lives of patients whenever and wherever they need help, with the best neurohealth therapies in the world, today announced its financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2024.

●

U.S. treatment session revenue increased by 22% versus the first quarter of 2023

Recent Operational and Marketing Highlights

●

NeuroStar Advanced Therapy received FDA clearance as a first line, adjunct treatment for major depressive disorder in adolescents aged 15-21

●

Launched second cohort within the “Better Me Guarantee Provider” pilot program in January 2024 and the third cohort in April 2024

"Neuronetics had a strong start to 2024, with our first quarter results demonstrating the execution of our commercial initiatives to drive system expansion and significantly grow treatment session revenues. Beyond our operational performance, we achieved a major regulatory milestone: NeuroStar is now the first and only TMS treatment to be cleared for use as first-line, adjunct therapy for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adolescent patients aged 15-21. Adolescent depression is a large and growing mental health condition for which there are currently limited treatment options available, and with this clearance, the market opportunity for NeuroStar within MDD increased by approximately 35%,” said Keith J. Sullivan, President and CEO. “Looking ahead, we are incredibly excited about the future of Neuronetics. With the success of our commercial strategy, including the compelling early results of our Better Me Guarantee Provider pilot program, as well as our recently expanded market opportunity, we are very well-positioned to deliver long-term value for patients, providers and shareholders.”

During the quarter, total U.S. revenue increased by 12% and international revenue increased by 8% over the first quarter of 2023.

U.S. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $3.3 million, a decrease of 14% compared to $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company shipped 41 and 49 systems, respectively. The decline was primarily a function of our customers facing credit challenges as well as cash flow difficulties stemming from the Change Health cyberattack.

U.S. treatment session revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $13.0 million, an increase of 22% compared to $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. The revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in utilization, in particular within our local consumable customer segment.

In the first quarter of 2024, U.S. treatment session revenue per active site was $11,300 compared to $9,700 in the first quarter of 2023.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2024 was 75.1%, an increase of approximately 180 basis points from the first quarter of 2023 gross margin of 73.3%.

Operating expenses during the first quarter of 2024 were $19.9 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 7%, compared to $21.3 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $(7.9) million, or $(0.27) per share, as compared to $(10.5) million, or $(0.38) per share, in the first quarter of 2023. Net loss per share was based on 29,471,516 and 28,034,171 weighted average common shares outstanding for the first quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 was $(6.3) million as compared to the first quarter of 2023 EBITDA of $(9.4) million. See the accompanying financial table that reconciles EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to net loss.

Cash and cash equivalents were $47.7 million as of March 31, 2024. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $59.7 million as of December 31, 2023.

FDA Clearance as a First-Line Add-On Treatment for Adolescents with Depression

In late March, Neuronetics received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance for its NeuroStar Advanced Therapy as the first and only transcranial magnetic stimulation (“TMS”) treatment cleared as a first line, adjunct for major depressive disorder (“MDD”) in adolescents aged 15-21. The FDA clearance was supported by real-world data from our TrakStar database showing 78% of adolescent patients treated with NeuroStar achieved clinically meaningful improvement in their depression severity. This clearance opened up a new treatment option for the large adolescent MDD patient population that had extremely limited FDA-approved treatment options available previously. With the addition of the adolescent indication, Neuronetics’ total addressable market for MDD increased by approximately 35%. NeuroStar is now FDA-cleared to treat MDD patients aged 15 and older.

Launched Second Cohort of Customers within the Better Me Guarantee Provider Pilot Program

Following its initial pilot launch during late 2023, the Company enrolled its second pilot cohort within the Better Me Guarantee Provider (“BMGP”) pilot program, which consisted of approximately 100 customer sites in January of 2024. The BMGP program creates a nationwide group of accounts that are committed to meeting certain standards of patient care and responsiveness developed in collaboration with medical experts. Regardless of practice size or tenure, this program aims to address reported responsiveness issues and lack of knowledge of TMS therapy that have negatively impacted patient access to care. Participating providers agree to attend advanced training at NeuroStar University, ensure that office phones are answered during business hours, advise patients of the benefits of treating to the full course of 36 sessions when medically appropriate, assign medical personnel to promptly respond to PHQ-10 assessments, and update websites and social media platforms to educate potential patients about the benefits of NeuroStar TMS therapy and its availability as a potential treatment option. In April 2024, the Company launched the third cohort of 100 customer sites. The Company currently has over 200 customer sites participating in the pilot program. The Company plans to continue its measured pilot roll-out with the next cohort of providers slated for inclusion in May 2024.

5-Year Exclusive Partnership with Transformations Care Network

Neuronetics announced an expanded five-year exclusive commercial partnership with Transformations Care Network, one of the nation’s largest mental health care providers. Under the new agreement, Neuronetics will be the exclusive supplier of new TMS equipment to Transformations Care Network, increasing the availability of Neuronetics’ NeuroStar TMS therapy to patients across Transformations Care Network’s facilities in six states. As part of the detail, Transformations agreed to convert from its prior fixed price treatment sessions to our consumable purchase model.

Business Outlook

For the second quarter of 2024, the Company expects total worldwide revenue between $18.0 million and $19.0 million.

For the full year 2024, the Company expects total worldwide revenue to be between $78.0 million and $80.0 million.

For the full year 2024, the Company expects total operating expenses to be between $80.0 million and $84.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), and should not be construed as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP net loss. However, management uses both the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations and to better understand its business. Further, management believes that the addition of the non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplementary information to, and facilitates analysis by, investors in evaluating the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and trends. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly designated measures reported by other companies, because companies and investors may differ as to what type of events warrant adjustment.
