U.S. treatment session revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $11.7 million, a decrease of 5% compared to $12.3 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in treatment session volume over the prior year quarter. The decline was primarily a function of our customers facing cash flow difficulties stemming from the Change Health cyberattack.

In the second quarter of 2024, U.S. treatment session revenue per active site was $10,000 compared to $11,392 in the second quarter of 2023.

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2024 was 74%, an increase of approximately 150 basis points from the second quarter of 2023 gross margin of 72.5%.

Operating expenses during the second quarter of 2024 were $20.7 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 3%, compared to $20.1 million in the second quarter of 2023.


Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $(9.8) million, or $(0.33) per share, as compared to $(4.9) million, or $(0.17) per share, in the second quarter of 2023. Net loss per share was based on 30,051,751 and 28,589,976 weighted average common shares outstanding for the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 was $(8.0) million as compared to the second quarter of 2023 EBITDA of $(3.3) million. See the accompanying financial table that reconciles EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to net loss.

Cash and cash equivalents were $42.6 million as of June 30, 2024. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $59.7 million as of December 31, 2023.

Definitive Agreement to Merge with Greenbrook TMS

On August 12, 2024, the Company announced that is has entered into a definitive arrangement agreement with Greenbrook TMS, in which Neuronetics will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Greenbrook in an all-stock transaction.

The transaction creates 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.

For more details on the transaction, please refer to the press release issued by Neuronetics on August 12, 2024.

Major Insurers Expand TMS Coverage for Adolescents with Depression

The Company has announced a series of significant healthcare policy updates from major insurers, expanding access to its NeuroStar TMS therapy for adolescents with depression. Humana, covering approximately 600,000 commercial lives, became the first commercial payer to address TMS coverage for ages 15-17, effective April 25, 2024. BlueCross BlueShield of Michigan, covering 4.9 million lives, and Cambia Health Solutions, impacting 2.5 million lives across four states, broadened TMS access to include individuals 15 years and older, effective September 1, 2024. California’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, added TMS coverage for both adults and adolescents aged 15 and up, affecting 14.8 million lives starting August 1, 2024. Aetna, one of the largest health plans with over 19.4 million covered lives, also updated its policy to include TMS treatment for adolescents 15 and older, effective immediately. These policy changes follow the FDA’s clearance of NeuroStar TMS on March 25, 2024, as the first and only TMS treatment approved as a first-line add-on for adolescents aged 15-21 with major depressive disorder.

NeuroStar Launches Nationwide Better Me Provider Program, Enhancing Patient Care and Accessibility

In July, the Company announced the national launch of its Better Me Provider (BMP) program, setting new industry standards for patient care and responsiveness in mental health treatment. The program, developed in collaboration with TMS medical experts, has shown strong results during its pilot phase. Participating practices demonstrated up to 6.4 times faster 24-hour follow-ups and a fivefold reduction in time from initial patient interest to motor threshold determination. Advanced clinical training through NeuroStar University enabled participants to treat 58% more patients on average. With 300 active sites and over 125 more committed to joining, the BMP program represents a major step in Neuronetics’ strategy to improve accessibility of NeuroStar TMS Therapy for millions suffering from MDD, OCD, and anxious depression. This initiative underscores the company’s commitment to innovation and patient-centric care in the mental health sector.

New Debt Facility of up to $90 million with Perceptive Advisors

In late July, Neuronetics entered into a debt facility of up to $90 million with Perceptive Advisors LLC. The agreement provided an initial tranche of $50 million at closing, with two additional tranches of $15 million and $25 million


available under specified conditions. This new facility allowed Neuronetics to pay off, in full, the Company’s SLR Capital Partners term loan, reducing the Company’s net debt and providing additional financial flexibility. The 5-year term loan’s interest rate is based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. This funding will support Neuronetics’ ongoing investments in commercial initiatives, clinical indication expansion, and efforts to drive adoption of its NeuroStar Advanced Therapy for Mental Health.

Business Outlook

For the third quarter of 2024, the Company expects total worldwide revenue between $18.5 million and $19.5 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 $78.0 million and $80.0 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:
