MALVERN, Pa., May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Neuronetics, Inc., (NASDAQ: STIM) (the "Company" or "Neuronetics") a vertically integrated, commercial stage, medical technology and healthcare company with a strategic vision of transforming the lives of patients whenever and wherever they need help, with the leading neurohealth therapies in the world, today announced its financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2025.
First Quarter 2025 Highlights
- First quarter 2025 revenue of $32.0 million, an 84% increase as compared to the first quarter 2024, primarily driven by the Greenbrook acquisition
- U.S. clinic revenue of $18.7 million in the quarter representing Greenbrook clinic revenue
- U.S. treatment session revenue of $9.6 million
- U.S. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System revenue of $2.8 million
- Completed secondary offering, raising approximately $18.9 million in net proceeds in February 2025 after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses
Recent Operational Highlights
- Chief Financial Officer Steve Furlong to retire in March 2026
- Significant operational progress with the integration of Greenbrook
- Projecting cash flow positive in the third quarter of 2025
- Major insurance coverage expansions for adolescent TMS treatment, with Evernorth Health Services (Cigna) joining Humana, Aetna, and several Blue Cross Blue Shield entities in covering adolescents 15+
- Achieved milestone of over 202,000 global patients treated with 7.4 million treatment sessions
"2025 is off to a great start as our approach to innovative mental health treatment is improving access to care for patients and delivering value for providers," said Keith J. Sullivan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Neuronetics. "Our growth initiatives for the Greenbrook clinics continue to exceed expectations, as we implement our proven operating model and continue to rollout SPRAVATO® across our network of locations and institute the buy-and-bill model. Simultaneously, our Better Me Provider program continues to prove its effectiveness, with participating sites continuing to see improvements in the number of patients treated, and the speed at which a patient begins therapy with NeuroStar TMS. As we execute on both fronts, we're not only expanding access to effective mental health treatments but also strengthening our financial position while remaining on the path to achieving positive cash flow in the third quarter of this year."

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $32.0 million, an increase of 84% compared to the revenues of $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily driven by the Greenbrook acquisition. During the quarter, total U.S. revenue increased by 87% and international revenue decreased marginally over the first quarter of 2024. The increase in U.S. revenue was primarily attributable to U.S. clinic revenue of $18.7 million, added as a result of the acquisition of Greenbrook, partially offset by the absence of prior year quarter sales to Greenbrook of $2.9 million and a decrease of sales of $1.1 million relating to NeuroStar Advanced Therapy Systems and treatment session revenue.

U.S. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $2.8 million, a decrease of 14% compared to $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company shipped 31 systems. While the number of systems decreased, the average selling price per system increased by 9%.
U.S. treatment session revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $9.6 million, a decrease of 26% compared to $13.0 million in the first quarter of 2024. The decline was primarily attributable to the absence of $2.8 million in treatment session revenue from Greenbrook with the prior year quarter.
U.S. clinic revenue, which represents revenue generated by treatment centers from the Greenbrook acquisition, was $18.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Gross margin for the first quarter of 2025 was 49.2% compared to the first quarter of 2024 gross margin of 75.1%. The decrease in gross margin was primarily a result of the inclusion of Greenbrook's clinic business.
Operating expenses during the first quarter of 2025 were $26.8 million, an increase of $6.9 million, or 35%, compared to $19.9 million in the first quarter of 2024, mainly attributable to inclusion of Greenbrook's general and administrative expenses of $6.2 million.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $(12.7) million, or $(0.21) per share, as compared to $(7.9) million, or $(0.27) per share, in the first quarter of 2024. Net loss per share was based on 61,464,725 and 29,471,516 weighted average common shares outstanding for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents were $20.2 million as of March 31, 2025. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $18.5 million as of December 31, 2024. As a result of the strengthened balance sheet following the recent offering, the Company proactively settled Greenbrook's legacy vendor payment plans and accelerated certain expenses to secure favorable vendor concessions. While this increased first quarter cash burn, it will reduce overall vendor spending in 2025. The Company also experienced a temporary lag in collections during the integration of new revenue cycle management software, which has subsequently normalized. Cash used in operations for the first quarter was $17.0 million. The Company expects second quarter operational cash usage to be less than $5 million, with year-end cash anticipated to be above $20 million.
Chief Financial Officer Steve Furlong to Retire
Steve Furlong, who has served as Chief Financial Officer since 2019, will retire on March 31, 2026. Mr. Furlong will continue in his current position until a successor is hired, and will remain as an advisory subsequently to ensure a smooth transition. The Company has initiated a comprehensive search process to identify his successor.
Expanding Insurance Coverage Increases Adolescent Access to NeuroStar TMS Therapy
Insurance coverage for adolescent NeuroStar transcranial magnetic stimulation ("TMS") therapy continues to expand since receiving clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in March 2024 as the first and only TMS treatment approved for depression in adolescents aged 15 to 21. Evernorth Health Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Cigna Group, has extended coverage to adolescents 15 and older with major depressive disorder ("MDD"), joining Humana, Aetna, and several Blue Cross Blue Shield entities. This growing payor acceptance reflects the significant clinical need among the estimated 4.3 million U.S. adolescents affected by major depression and positions NeuroStar's adolescent indication as an important long-term growth driver.
Strategic Financing Strengthens Balance Sheet
Neuronetics successfully completed a public offering of common stock with net proceeds of approximately $18.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses, strengthening the Company's financial position and providing additional flexibility to execute on key growth initiatives. This financing enhances the Company's ability to potentially accelerate high-return programs such as the Spravato buy-and-bill expansion, accelerate Better Me Provider program implementation across the broader network, and enhance capabilities, all while maintaining the Company's projected timeline to be cash flow positive in the third quarter of 2025.
Business Outlook
For the second quarter of 2025, the Company expects total worldwide revenue between $36.0 million and $38.0 million.
For the full year 2025, the Company now expects total worldwide revenue to be between $149.0 million and $155.0 million, as compared to prior guidance of $145.0 million and $155.0 million.
For the full year 2025, the Company continues to expect gross margin to be approximately 55%.
For the full year 2025, the Company continues to expect total operating expenses to be between $90.0 million and $98.0 million.
The Company expects second quarter operational cash usage to be less than $5.0 million, with year-end cash anticipated to be above $20.0 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.
