Neuronetics (NASDAQ:STIM) Announces Earnings Results

Neuronetics (NASDAQ:STIM) released its earnings results on Tuesday. The company reported ($0.05) earnings per share for the quarter, topping analysts’ consensus estimates of ($0.12) by $0.07, FiscalAI reports. The business had revenue of $41.57 million for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $40.17 million. Neuronetics had a negative return on equity of 139.83% and a negative net margin of 24.48%.

Here are the key takeaways from Neuronetics’ conference call:

• Revenue rose 9.1% to $41.6 million, while adjusted EBITDA improved to positive $0.3 million from negative $5.6 million a year ago. Net loss narrowed to $3.4 million, and cash used in operations and investing fell to $1.4 million.
• Greenbrook revenue increased 16.8% to $26.9 million, supported by provider growth, improved reimbursement and revenue-cycle management. Management said cash collections grew faster than revenue and identified further upside from increasing clinic occupancy, with roughly 40% of capacity still unused.
• Neuronetics is broadening NeuroStar’s commercial model to include outright purchases, lease financing and à la carte support alongside its traditional treatment-session model. Capital sales grew double digits, but session revenue declined double digits; management expects some near-term revenue volatility as customers shift among models.
• The company raised its full-year gross-margin outlook to 48%–50% and lowered operating-expense guidance to $95 million–$100 million, while narrowing revenue guidance to $160 million–$164 million. It expects cash flow from operations and investing of negative $10.5 million to negative $14.5 million for the year and limited net cash use in the second half.
• Management continues preparing Greenbrook for potential psychedelic treatment launches, particularly Compass Pathways’ COMP360, leveraging existing SPRAVATO infrastructure, trained staff and available clinic capacity. The company views its combination of TMS, SPRAVATO and future therapies as a potential differentiator in interventional psychiatry.
