U.S. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy system revenue decreased marginally by $0.1 million or 1%, in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. For the period ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company shipped 205 and 213 systems, respectively.

Gross margin for the full year 2023 were 72.5%, a decrease of approximately 380 basis points from the full year 2022 gross margin of 76.3%. 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 76.2%.

Operating expenses during the full year 2023 was $82.3 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 2.9% compared to $84.8 million in the full year 2022. The decrease was primarily due to reduced spending in marketing on a new brand development initiative completed in 2022, and the discontinuation of a retention program to sales personnel in 2022, resulting in a decrease in sales personnel expense.

Net loss for the full year 2023 was $(30.2) million, or $(1.05) per share, as compared to full year 2022 net loss of $(37.2) million, or $(1.38) per share.

EBITDA for the full year 2023 was $(22.8) million compared to $(31.3) million for the full year 2022. The decrease in EBITDA is primarily due to the decrease in net loss in the current period compared to the comparative prior period. See the accompanying financial table that reconciles EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to net loss.

Cash and cash equivalent were $59.7 million as of December 31, 2023. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $70.3 million as of December 31, 2022.

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

Following its pilot launch during late 2023, the Company launched its first official pilot cohort within the The Better Me Guarantee Provider program (BMGP), which consisted of approximately 100 customer sites in January of 2024. The BMGP 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. In 2024, Company plans to continue its measured pilot roll-out, with new providers slated for inclusion in April 2024 as well as other dates during the year

Healthcare Policy Updates

Between November 2023 and February 2024, Magellan, BlueCross BlueShield of Kansas City, Dean Health Plan, and Lucet Health have updated their criteria to enhance patient access to NeuroStar. These policy updates reduce the mandatory number of antidepressant medication attempts from four to two prior to TMS eligibility. Additionally, Dean Health Plan has eliminated the requirement for a prior trial of psychotherapy. These modifications signify an advancement in mental health coverage. By removing barriers and facilitating earlier access to treatments such as NeuroStar.

Business Outlook

For the first quarter of 2024, the Company expects total worldwide revenue between $16.7 million and $17.7 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 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:
