Management Commentary

“Myomo delivered a second consecutive quarter of record financial and operating results as we emphasized outreach and education to the Medicare population regarding the benefits of the MyoPro, as well as an unwavering commitment to efficiency, quality and improving patient outcomes across our organization”, said Paul R. Gudonis, Myomo’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Our focus has been on accelerating revenue growth though our direct provider sales channel and laying the groundwork for growth in the O&P channel in 2025 and beyond. Demonstrable progress was made on both of these areas during the third quarter.”

Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $9.2 million, up 81% compared with the third quarter of 2023. Product revenue increased 83% compared with the same period a year ago, driven by growth in revenue units and by a higher average selling price (“ASP”). Myomo recognized revenue on 161 MyoPro units in the third quarter of 2024, up 35% over the same quarter a year ago. ASP was approximately $57,200 in the third quarter, up 35%. A portion of the increase in ASP reflects payments from supplemental insurance payers on revenue units recognized in a prior period. Excluding these payments, ASP was approximately $52,700, up 23%. Effective July 1, 2024, revenue for Medicare Part B patients is being recognized at the time of product delivery for the amount expected to be paid for each patient. Revenue from patients with Medicare Part B represented 55% of revenue in the third quarter. Year-to-date revenue was $20.5 million, up 41% compared with the same period a year ago. Year-to-date product revenue was up 61% compared with the first nine months of 2023.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2024 was 75.4%, compared with 68.7% for the third quarter of 2023. The increase was driven primarily by a higher ASP. Gross margin on product revenues for the third quarter of 2023 was 68.4%. Year-to-date gross margin was 71.1% compared with 69.6% for the same period a year ago. Gross margin on product revenue for the first nine months of 2023 was 65.4%.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $7.9 million, an increase of 43% compared with the third quarter of 2023. The increase was driven primarily by higher payroll expense due to additional headcount to support the Company’s engineering efforts, as well as the addition of field clinical and reimbursement capacity and incentive compensation accruals. Advertising costs of $1.0 million were up 23% over the third quarter of 2023. Cost per pipeline add was $1,618, a decrease of 25% compared with the third quarter of 2023. Year-to-date operating expenses were $20.5 million, an increase of 29% compared with the same period a year ago.

Operating loss for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.0 million, compared with $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2023. Net loss for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.0 million, or $0.03 per share, compared with a net loss of $2.0 million, or $0.06 per share, for the third quarter of 2023. Year-to-date operating loss was $6.0 million, compared with an operating loss of $5.8 million for the same period a year ago. Year-to-date net loss was $5.9 million, or $0.16 per share, compared with a net loss of $5.7 million, or $0.21 per share, for the same period a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $(0.6) million, compared with $(1.7) million for the third quarter of 2023. Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA was $(5.3) million, compared with $(4.9) million for the same period a year ago. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to this non-GAAP financial measure appears below.

Operations Update

The patient pipeline was 1,263 patients as of September 30, 2024, compared with 1,046 as of September 30, 2023, an increase of 21%. A record 645 patients were added to the pipeline during the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 69% compared with the same period a year ago. The Company generated a record 225 authorizations and orders in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 44% compared with the same period a year ago. As a result, backlog was a record 316 patients as of September 30, 2024, an increase of 71% compared with September 30, 2023.

Cash Position

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of September 30, 2024 were $7.0 million. Cash used in operating activities was $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared with $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2023. Cash used in operating activities in the third quarter of 2024 was impacted by a payment delay during the last two to three weeks of the quarter from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) due to a transition from check payments to electronic funds transfer, which is expected to speed up payments going forward. The delayed payments were subsequently received in October.

Business Outlook

“We are positioned to deliver sequential revenue growth in the fourth quarter due to the strength of our backlog,” added Mr. Gudonis. “As a result, we expect fourth quarter revenue to be in the range of $9.5 million to $10.5 million, resulting in full year revenue of $30 million to $31 million, up from our previous guidance of $28 million to $30 million.”

“We believe our objective of reaching operating cash flow breakeven in the fourth quarter is achievable. We also expect to approach Adjusted EBITDA breakeven in the fourth quarter. We expect a moderation in cash used to fund growth in working capital, as we collected in the fourth quarter the Medicare payments that were delayed from the third quarter,” said David Henry, Myomo’s chief financial officer. “Moderation in the growth of working capital in the fourth quarter is predicated on minimizing growth in days sales outstanding and receipt of a contractual reimbursement from the landlord for initial costs associated with the lease on our new facility.”

• our ability to continue normal operations and patient interactions without supply chain disruption in order to deliver and fit our custom-fabricated devices;
• our marketing and commercialization efforts;
• our dependence upon external sources for the financing of our operations, to the extent that we do not achieve or maintain cash flow breakeven;
