During the quarter, total U.S. revenue increased by 11% and international revenue decreased by 13% over the first quarter of 2022. The U.S. growth was primarily driven by an increase in NeuroStar treatment sessions sales. The decrease in international growth was mainly due to lower NeuroStar Advanced Therapy system revenue.

Total U.S. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy system revenues	$	3,850	$	3,642	6	%

U.S. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy system revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $3.9 million, an increase of 6% compared to the revenue of $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company shipped 49 and 48 systems, respectively.

U.S. treatment session revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $10.6 million, an increase of 12% compared to the revenue of $9.5 million in the first quarter of 2022. The revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in utilization, in particular within our local consumable customer segment.

In the first quarter of 2023, U.S. treatment session revenue per active site was approximately $9,700 compared to approximately $9,874 in the first quarter of 2022. The decline was primarily due to over 100 incremental sites introduced to our installed base and a slowdown in revenue from the service provider segment. Excluding Greenbrook TMS Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Check Five LLC (doing business as Success TMS), revenue per active site was consistent year over year.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2023 was 73.3%, a decrease of approximately 210 basis points from the first quarter of 2022 gross margin of 75.4%. The decline in gross margin was driven by revenue mix, as well as an increase in capitalized software and the corresponding amortization expense associated with the latest product release.

Operating expenses during the first quarter of 2023 were $21.3 million, a marginal increase of $0.5 million, or 2%, compared to $20.8 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $(10.5) million, or $(0.38) per share, as compared to the first quarter 2022 net loss of $(10.8) million, or $(0.41) per share. Net loss per share was based on 28,038,612 and 26,596,533 weighted-average common shares outstanding for the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

EBITDA for the first quarter of 2023 was $(8.8) million as compared to the first quarter of 2022 EBITDA of $(9.5) million. See the accompanying financial table that reconciles EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to net loss.

Cash and cash equivalents were $55.4 million as of March 31, 2023. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $70.3 million as of December 31, 2022 and $80.8 million as of March 31, 2022.

Secures Up To $60 Million in Amended Debt Financing with SLR Capital Partners

Neuronetics entered into an amended senior secured credit facility with SLR Capital Partners that provides for borrowings of up to $60 million, including three tranches of term loans. The new facility will further strengthen Neuronetics' balance sheet and drive continued commercial adoption of NeuroStar Advanced Therapy. The loan has an annual interest rate of SOFR plus 5.65%, with interest only payments until March 2026.

United Health Care Medicare Advantage Plans in NGS States Expand Access via NPPs

United HealthCare has updated their Medicare Advantage policy in states covered by NGS Medicare. This policy expansion increases access to NeuroStar Advanced Therapy by allowing NPPs, such as nurse practitioners to order and administer TMS therapy to patients with major depressive disorder (“MDD”) in states where they have the scope of practice to do so. This policy update increases the accessibility of TMS therapy for patients and is the latest trend in mental health coverage from commercial and government payers.

BlueCross BlueShield of Mississippi to Allow NPPs to Prescribe TMS

BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) of Mississippi has updated its healthcare policy to allow TMS- trained healthcare professionals, such as nurse practitioners, to prescribe TMS treatment for patients with MDD. This policy change will increase access to NeuroStar Advanced Therapy. The revised policy also lowers the medication requirement from four failed medications to two prior to TMS treatment. Neuronetics is the only TMS company with a dedicated health policy team that partners with providers and payers to advocate for health policy changes.

FDA ClearsEnhancedWi-Fi Capabilities for NeuroStar Advanced Therapy

Neuronetic’s fifth FDA clearance in less than two years offers greater flexibility to improve the patient and provider experience. The new Wi-Fi capability offers improved internet connectivity for NeuroStar providers with restricted networks. This advancement allows for greater flexibility in the NeuroStar system placement and access to more connectivity options for TrakStar, while maintaining Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act compliance and patient security. The improved internet connectivity feature also grants NeuroStar providers access to all the features and benefits exclusive to TrakStar cloud customers. This advancement also allows for improved access to TrakStar insights.

Business Outlook

For the full year 2023, the Company now expects total worldwide revenue to be between $68.0 million and $73.0 million.

For the full year 2023, the Company continues to expect total operating expenses to be between $84.0 million and $88.0 million.

For the second quarter of 2023, the Company expects total worldwide revenue between $17.0 million and $18.0 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 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.
