In a release issued earlier today under the same headline
by Neuronetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: STIM), please note that in
the second paragraph of the "Stockholders Approve Acquisition of
Greenbrook TMS" section, it should say that the Company expects to
achieve cash flow breakeven by the third quarter of 2025, not the
second. The corrected release follows:
Neuronetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: STIM) (the
“Company” or “Neuronetics”) a commercial stage medical technology

Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was
$18.5 million, an increase of 4% compared to the revenue of $17.9
million in the third quarter of 2023. During the quarter, total
U.S. revenue increased by 4% and international revenue decreased
marginally over the third quarter of 2023. The increase in U.S.
revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in U.S. treatment
sessions and U.S. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System sales period
over period.

U.S. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System revenue for the three
months ended September 30, 2024 was $4.1 million, an increase of
14% compared to $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2023. For the
three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company
shipped 49 and 43 systems, respectively.
U.S. treatment session revenue for the three months ended
September 30, 2024 was $13.3 million, an increase of 2% compared to
$13.1 million in the third quarter of 2023.
In the third quarter of 2024, U.S. treatment session revenue per
active site was $11,390 compared to $11,917 in the third quarter of
2023.
Gross margin for the third quarter of 2024 was 75.6%, an
increase of approximately 980 basis points from the third quarter
of 2023 gross margin of 65.8%. The increase in gross margin was a
result of the change in product mix, the absence of one-time
manufacturing cost by our new contract manufacturer and inventory
impairment incurred in 2023.
Operating expenses during the third quarter of 2024 were $21.7
million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 5%, compared to $20.6
million in the third quarter of 2023.
Net loss for the third quarter of 2024 was $(13.3) million, or
$(0.44) per share, as compared to $(9.4) million, or $(0.33) per
share, in the third quarter of 2023. Net loss per share was based
on 30,267,236 and 28,875,720 weighted average common shares
outstanding for the third quarters of 2024 and 2023,
respectively.
EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $(11.6) million as
compared to the third quarter of 2023 EBITDA of $(7.7) million. See
the accompanying financial table that reconciles EBITDA, which is a
non-GAAP financial measure, to net loss.
Cash and cash equivalents were $20.9 million as of September 30,
2024. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $59.7 million
as of December 31, 2023.
Stockholders Approve Acquisition of Greenbrook
TMS
On November 8, 2024, Neuronetics’ stockholders approved the
previously announced acquisition of Greenbrook TMS Inc.
(“Greenbrook”), in which Neuronetics will acquire all of the
outstanding common shares of Greenbrook in an all-stock
transaction. The next step in finalizing the transaction is a
hearing in respect of the Final Order pursuant to the Ontario
Business Corporations Act scheduled for November 15, 2024. The
transaction will create a vertically integrated organization
capable of providing access to mental health treatment with
significant scale in the U.S. The transaction offers multiple
strategic benefits for Neuronetics and its customers, including
increased brand awareness for NeuroStar, more consistent delivery
of best practices, and the ability to offer a variety of positive
benefits for all NeuroStar customers. Beyond the strategic
benefits, the transaction is expected to create compelling
financial benefits, including increased revenue scale and a strong
growth trajectory, material cost synergies, an accelerated path to
profitability, and a bolstered balance sheet.
The Company has outlined several key strategic initiatives,
including merging Neuronetics’ sales team with Greenbrook's
regional area managers to optimize commercial operations,
implementing the Better Me Provider Program best practices across
all Greenbrook sites, and accelerating the rollout of SPRAVATO®
treatment across the combined network. Through these initiatives
and additional identified opportunities to optimize the combined
company's cost structure in connection with the transaction, the
Company now expects to achieve cash flow breakeven by the third
quarter of 2025.
NeuroStar TMS Data Presented at Leading Child &
Adolescent Psychiatry Conference Shows Strong Efficacy in Treating
Teen Depression
At the 2024 American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
(“AACAP”) annual meeting, Neuronetics presented data from the
largest study to date evaluating transcranial magnetic stimulation
(“TMS”) in adolescents with major depressive disorder. In an oral
presentation, Paul E. Croarkin, DO, MS of Mayo Clinic shared
compelling results showing NeuroStar's strong efficacy in treating
Major Depressive Disorder (“MDD”) in adolescent patients, with
impressive response and remission rates of 78% and 48%
respectively. The findings were similar to those previously
reported in adult populations treated with NeuroStar TMS including
clinically meaningful improvement in anxiety symptoms in this MDD
population. As the only FDA-cleared TMS device for first-line
adjunct treatment of MDD in patients aged 15-21, these findings
further establish NeuroStar's leadership in providing innovative
solutions for adolescent mental health treatment.
Business Outlook
For the fourth quarter of 2024, on a stand alone basis, the
Company expects total worldwide revenue between $19.0 million and
$20.0 million.
For the full year 2024, on a stand alone basis the Company now
expects total worldwide revenue to be between $71.0 million and
$72.0 million.
For the full year 2024, on a stand alone basis, the Company now
expects total operating expenses to be between $81.0 million and
$82.0 million. This forecast excludes pre-closing transaction costs
of approximately $2.0 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.
The following table reconciles reported net loss to EBITDA:
