Total U.S. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy system revenues	$	3,597	$	3,934	(9)	%

U.S. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy system revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $3.6 million, a decrease of 9% compared to the revenue of $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2022. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company shipped 43 and 50 systems, respectively.

U.S. treatment session revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $13.1 million, an increase of 10% compared to the revenue of $11.9 million in the third quarter of 2022. The revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in utilization, in particular within our local consumable customer segment.

In the third quarter of 2023, U.S. treatment session revenue per active site was $11,917 compared to $11,364 in the third quarter of 2022.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2023 was 65.8%, a decrease of approximately 1260 basis points from the third quarter of 2022 gross margin of 78.4%. The decline in gross margin was driven by a $1.9 million inventory impairment for specialized component parts secured for discontinued NeuroStar Advanced Therapy Systems for which cost exceeds net realizable value and one-time expenses relating to our transition to a new contract manufacturer. Without these expenses, gross margin would have been 77.3%.

Operating expenses during the third quarter of 2023 were $20.6 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 1%, compared to $20.4 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2023 was $(9.4) million, or $(0.33) per share, as compared to the third quarter 2022 net loss of $(7.6) million, or $(0.28) per share. Net loss per share was based on 28,875,720 and 26,964,613 weighted-average common shares outstanding for the third quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

EBITDA for the third quarter of 2023 was $(7.7) million as compared to the third quarter of 2022 EBITDA of $(6.2) million. See the accompanying financial table that reconciles EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to net loss.

Cash and cash equivalents were $35.8 million as of September 30, 2023. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $70.3 million as of December 31, 2022, and $73.7 million as of September 30, 2022.

Pilot Launch of Better Me Guarantee Provider Program

The Better Me Guarantee Provider program creates a nationwide network 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 transcranial magnetic stimulation (“TMS”) therapy that have negatively impacted patient access to quality care. Participating providers agree to attend 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 include NeuroStar TMS therapy as a treatment option. The program is currently in its pilot phase and the Company plans a measured roll-out, with new providers slated for inclusion on January 22, 2024 and April 8, 2024.

Draw Down of Remaining $22.5 Million Available Under Credit Facility

The Company drew down the remaining $22.5 million from its credit facility with SLR Investment Corp. This move bolsters Neuronetics' balance sheet in a non-dilutive manner, providing support for the ongoing execution of its strategic initiatives. The Company believes it can attain self-sustainability with its existing cash balance and aims to achieve cash flow break-even in the fourth quarter of 2024 and on a full-year basis in 2025.

Business Outlook

For the full year 2023, the Company now expects total revenue to be between $70.0 million and $72.0 million, compared to prior guidance of $69.0 million to $73.0 million.

For the full year 2023, the Company now expects total operating expenses to be between $82.0 million and $84.0 million, an improvement from prior guidance of $82.0 million to $86.0 million.

For the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company expects total revenue between $19.0 million and $21.0 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.

The following table reconciles reported net loss to EBITDA:
