BASKING RIDGE, N.J., November 13, 2019 — electroCore, Inc. (Nasdaq: ECOR), a commercial-stage bioelectronic medicine company, today announced third quarter 2019 financial results and provided an operational update.

Third Quarter 2019 and Recent Highlights

• Net sales of approximately $683,000, up 10% sequentially from $623,000 in the second quarter

• 1,736 paid months of therapy in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to 1,023 paid months of therapy in the second quarter and 671 in the first quarter

• 553 months of paid therapy shipped to VA and DOD facilities during the third quarter, up from 233 months of therapy during the second quarter

“I accepted the CEO role at electroCore because I firmly believe in the potential of the company’s novelnon-invasive vagus nerve stimulation technology to treat serious headache conditions,” said Dan Goldberger, Chief Executive Officer of electroCore. “WithFDA-cleared indications for acute treatment of the pain associated with each of migraine and episodic cluster headache, and cluster headache prevention, we have the ability to address significant commercial and government market opportunities that have gone largely untapped to this point. We have a novel, proprietary technology and very large addressable markets, and I, together with the rest of the electroCore team, look forward to unlocking the potential of gammaCore for the benefit of patients as well as our shareholders.”

Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, electroCore reported net sales of approximately $683,000, compared to $151,000 in the third quarter of 2018. Net sales were $623,000 in the second quarter and $410,000 in the first quarter of 2019. These increases in revenue reflect increased sales in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Total operating expenses for third quarter of 2019 were approximately $11.2 million, compared to $13.6 million in the third quarter of 2018. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction in SG&A expense, which declined to approximately $8.1 million in the third quarter of 2019 from approximately $11.3 million for the comparable period in 2018, primarily driven by a decrease in compensation and other expenses consistent with the cost reduction plan implemented in June 2019. The third quarter of 2019 included restructuring and other severance related costs of $0.8 million.

GAAP net loss from operations for the third quarter of 2019 was $10.7 million as compared to a loss of $13.2 million in the third quarter of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA net loss from operations for the third quarter of 2019 was a loss of $8.4 million, a 34% decrease when compared to adjusted EBITDA net loss from operations of $12.7 million for the same period last year.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA net loss from operations as GAAP net loss from operations, excluding income tax expense, stock-compensation expense, restructuring and other severance related charges, legal fees associated with stockholders litigation and total other income /expense. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss from operations toNon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss from operations has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 30, 2019 totaled approximately $33.5 million, as compared to approximately $68.6 million at December 31, 2018. Net cash usage for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $7.6 million, which included cash outflows of approximately $0.8 million related to severance payments and CEO recruitment costs. By comparison, net cash usage was $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 and $16.2 million in the first quarter of 2019.

As previously disclosed, based on its current cash resources, and revenue and expense forecasts, electroCore believes that it will have adequate resources to fund its operations into the beginning of 2021.

Reconciliation of GAAP net loss from operations toNon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss from operations

(Unaudited) Use ofNon-GAAP Financial Measure

The Company is presenting adjusted EBIDTA net loss from operations because it believes this measure is a useful indicator of its operating performance. electroCore management uses thisnon-GAAP measure principally as a measure of the Company’s core operating performance and believes that this measure is useful to investors because it is frequently used by the financial community, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry. The Company also believes that this measure is useful to its management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period. Additionally, the Company believes its use ofnon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss from operations facilitates management’s internal comparisons to historical operating results by factoring out potential differences caused by charges not related to its regular, ongoing business, including, without limitation,non-cash charges and certain large and unpredictable charges such as restructuring expenses.[insert paragraph break]

The Company has presented adjusted EBITDA net loss from operations as anon-GAAP financial measure in this press release. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA net loss from operations as its reported GAAP net loss from operations excluding income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other severance related charges, legal fees associated with stockholders litigation and total other income /expense and other income and expense.

The Company’s use of anon-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of its results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

thenon-GAAP measure does not reflect interest or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available;

although depreciation and amortization arenon-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and thenon-GAAP measure does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

thenon-GAAP measure does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation; and

thenon-GAAP measure does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;

other companies, including companies in electroCore’s industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA net loss from operations differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider thenon-GAAP measure together with other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss and other GAAP results. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss from operations tonon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss from operations has been provided in the preceding financial statement table of this press release.
