ReWalk Robotics Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

ReWalk Robotics Ltd.

On-Track Start to Fiscal Year 
with Progress in Advancing Reimbursement Coverage for Medicare Beneficiaries

MARLBOROUGH, Mass. BERLIN and YOKNEAM ILLIT, Israel, May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (Nasdaq: RWLK) (“ReWalk” or the “Company”), a leading provider of innovative technologies that enable mobility and wellness in rehabilitation and daily life for individuals with neurological conditions, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Highlights of the first quarter of 2023 include:

• Total revenue for the first quarter of 2023 was $1.2 million, as compared to $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2022, up 40%;

• Gross margin was 46.4% in Q1’23, as compared to 30.3% in Q1’22, a 16 percentage point increase;

• Operating expenses were $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, as compared to $4.6 million in the first quarter of 2022;

• In March 2023, the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton technology received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for use on stairs and curbs, making it the only personal exoskeleton to receive FDA clearance for this indication.

“Our execution and positive progress in Q1 advanced us towards achieving the goals we set for 2023,” stated Larry Jasinski, Chief Executive Officer. “Specifically, our first Medicare claim submission was made to test and develop the correct pathway for processing for our innovative, breakthrough product. We believe the interaction with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and the Medicare Administrative Contractor (“MAC”) has helped to define a path for this first submission and set the parameters for ten additional planned submissions in Q2. In parallel, we achieved a major milestone with FDA clearance of the ReWalk exoskeleton for use on stairs and curbs, expanded the number of VA centers that train ReWalk users, and increased our German case submissions all of which we believe will favorably impact year-over-year growth in 2023 and 2024.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Total revenue was $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $0.9 million during the first quarter of 2022. The increase is mainly due to higher number of ReWalk Personal 6.0 units sold in the United States, partially offset by fewer sold in Europe.

Gross margin was 46.4% during the first quarter of 2023, compared to 30.3% in the first quarter of 2022. The increase is mainly due to the impact of higher revenue volumes leveraging our fixed production costs and an increase in our average selling price.

Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2023 were $4.9 million, compared to $4.6 million in the in the first quarter of 2022. The increase is primarily due to spending in SG&A as a result of higher employee and employee-related expenses and increased professional services incurred related to the CMS engagement process.

Net loss was $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss of $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP net loss was $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $4.1 million during the first quarter of 2022. Reconciliation of net loss to non-GAAP net loss is included at the end of this press release.

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2023, ReWalk had $61.9 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet with no debt.

Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, this press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements may include projections regarding ReWalk's future performance and other statements that are not statements of historical fact and, in some cases, may be identified by words like "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "future," "will," "should," "would," "seek" and similar terms or phrases. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on management's current expectations, which are subject to uncertainty, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of ReWalk's control. Important factors that could cause ReWalk's actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others: uncertainties associated with future clinical trials and the clinical development process, the product development process and FDA regulatory submission review and approval process; the adverse effect that the COVID-19 pandemic has had and may continue to have on the Company’s business and results of operations; ReWalk's ability to have sufficient funds to meet certain future capital requirements, which could impair the Company's efforts to develop and commercialize existing and new products; ReWalk's ability to regain and maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market and the risk that its ordinary shares will be delisted if it cannot do so; ReWalk’s ability to maintain and grow its reputation and the market acceptance of its products; ReWalk's ability to achieve reimbursement from third-party payors, including CMS, for its products; ReWalk's limited operating history and its ability to leverage its sales, marketing and training infrastructure; ReWalk's expectations as to its clinical research program and clinical results; ReWalk's expectations regarding future growth, including its ability to increase sales in its existing geographic markets and expand to new markets; ReWalk's ability to obtain certain components of its products from third-party suppliers and its continued access to its product manufacturers; ReWalk's ability to improve its products and develop new products; ReWalk's compliance with medical device reporting regulations to report adverse events involving the Company's products, which could result in voluntary corrective actions or enforcement actions such as mandatory recalls, and the potential impact of such adverse events on ReWalk's ability to market and sell its products; ReWalk's ability to gain and maintain regulatory approvals; ReWalk's ability to maintain adequate protection of its intellectual property and to avoid violation of the intellectual property rights of others; the risk of a cybersecurity attack or breach of the Company's IT systems significantly disrupting its business operations; ReWalk's ability to use effectively the proceeds of its offerings of securities; and other factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in ReWalk's annual report on Forms 10-K and 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC and other documents subsequently filed with or furnished to the SEC. Any forward-looking statement made in this press release speaks only as of the date hereof. Factors or events that could cause ReWalk's actual results to differ from the statements contained herein may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for ReWalk to predict all of them. Except as required by law, ReWalk undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), ReWalk believes that the use of non-GAAP accounting measures, including non-GAAP net loss, is helpful to its investors. These measures, which the Company refers to as non-GAAP financial measures, are not prepared in accordance with GAAP.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, non-GAAP net loss is calculated as GAAP net loss excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense.

Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash expenses, ReWalk believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude non-cash share-based compensation expense allows for more meaningful comparisons between operating results from period to period. Each of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures is an important tool for financial and operational decision-making and for the Company’s evaluation of its operating results over different periods of time. The non-GAAP financial data are not measures of the Company’s financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to operating loss or net loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in ReWalk’s industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial results. Further, share-based compensation expense has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in the Company’s business and an important part of the compensation provided to its employees.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. ReWalk urges investors to review the reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.
