BURLINGTON, Mass. and JERUSALEM, May 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BrainsWay Ltd. (NASDAQ & TASE: BWAY) (“BrainsWay” or the “Company”), a world leader in advanced and non-invasive treatment for brain disorders, today reported first quarter 2024 financial results and provided an operational update.

Recent Financial and Operational Highlights

  • For the three months ended March 31, 2024, revenues were $9.1 million, a 37% increase as compared to the first quarter of 2023.
  • Gross margin for the first quarter of 2024 was 75%, an increase from 73% in the first quarter of 2023.
  • Operating income for the first quarter of 2024 was $0.1 million, compared to a loss of $3.7 million for the same period in 2023.
  • Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $0.1 million, compared to a net loss of $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 for the first quarter of 2024 was approximately $0.7 million, compared to a loss of $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2023.
  • Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term deposits as of March 31, 2024, amounted to $47.8 million, an increase of $1.6 million from December 31, 2023.
  • The Company shipped a net total of 57 Deep TMS™ systems during the first quarter of 2024, bringing BrainsWay’s Deep TMS installed base to 1,158 total systems as of March 31, 2024, a 24% increase from the installed base at the same point in the prior year.
  • During the first quarter of 2024, the Company shipped 31 obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) coils as add-on helmets to certain of BrainsWay’s new and existing systems, representing OCD treatment capability on 50% of its total installed base.
  • Increased collaboration with significant existing partner, Katie’s Way Plus, which recently ordered an additional 18 Deep TMS systems and will now have an extensive network of approximately 40 devices.
  • Installed the 11th Deep TMS system in Israel, steadily increasing presence in this geography following the recent increase in the country’s reimbursement rates.

“Our revenues grew 37% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting the significant tailwinds present throughout our entire business,” said Hadar Levy, BrainsWay’s Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we generated positive quarterly net income for the second consecutive quarter, and positive Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow from operations for the third consecutive quarter.”

“Based on our excellent first quarter results, and expectations for continued strong performance throughout the remainder of the year, we are reiterating our previously provided full-year 2024 revenue guidance of $37 million to $40 million. This would represent growth of 16% to 26% over full-year 2023 revenue. In addition, we continue to anticipate that our profitability momentum and positive cash generation will continue throughout 2024,” concluded Mr. Levy.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including in particular operating income and net income, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure, is useful in evaluating our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, finance income, finance expenses, income taxes, cost of share-based payments, and one-time restructuring and litigation expenses.

In addition to operating income (loss) and net income (loss), we use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operational efficiency. We believe that this non-IFRS financial measure is useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons:

  • Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as stock-based compensation expenses, depreciation and amortization, finance expenses, income taxes, and certain one-time items such as restructuring and litigation expenses, that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures and the method by which assets were acquired.
  • Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with IFRS financial measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of operating performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance; and Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, and also facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-IFRS or non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their IFRS or GAAP results.

Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) or net income (loss) for the period and may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. A reconciliation between the Company’s net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA is presented in the attached summary financial statements.

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other IFRS-based financial performance measures, including net income (loss) and our IFRS financial results.
