Management Commentary

“Not only did we deliver revenue at the high end of our guided range, but our execution reflected the positive changes we made to the front end of our patient acquisition process. As a result, we had a record number of pipeline additions, all from previous payers and with a significantly lower cost per pipeline add," stated Paul R. Gudonis, Myomo's chairman and chief executive officer. "We were able to maintain our lead generation while spending 33% less on advertising in the quarter. In addition, our new virtual waiting room significantly reduced our cycle time from lead generation to telehealth screening, enabling more patients to enter the process to obtain a MyoPro than ever before. We accomplished these results with 12% fewer employees on our clinical, reimbursement and billing teams, which is a tremendous achievement. I believe we're positioned for accelerated year-over-year revenue growth in 2023," added Gudonis.

"Additionally, we were paid the remainder of the technology license fee by our Chinese joint venture partner in April, which triggered the process of transferring the technology and know-how to establish MyoPro manufacturing in China."

Financial Results

Revenue for the first quarter of 2023 was $3.4 million, down 11% compared with the first quarter of 2022. Excluding the $1.0 million partial payment of the technology license fee in the first quarter of 2022, product revenue increased 20% compared with the same period a year ago. Growth in product revenue was driven by a higher number of revenue units and a higher average selling price (ASP). Myomo recognized revenue on 80 MyoPro units in the first quarter of 2023, up 13% from the same quarter a year ago.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2023 was 67.0%, compared with 66.7% for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was driven primarily by lower warranty reserves combined with a higher average selling price.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $5.0 million, a decrease of 6% compared with the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was driven primarily by lower advertising and compensation expenses. Advertising costs of $0.7 million decreased 33% compared with the first quarter of 2022. Cost per pipeline add was $1,579, a decrease of 53%, compared with the first quarter of 2022.

Operating loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $2.7 million, compared with $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, which included the benefit of the license payment. Net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $2.6 million, or $0.11 per share, compared with net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.43 per share, for the first quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2023 was negative $2.5 million, compared with negative $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2022. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to this non-GAAP financial measure appears below.

Operations Update

In 2023 the Company is focusing on working with payers that have previously reimbursed for MyoPro's in the past, rather than expanding the payer base. As a result, the patient pipeline now includes only these previous payers. Reflecting this change, the pipeline was 855 patients as of March 31, 2023, an increase of 28% compared with 670 patients with previous payers as of March 31, 2022. A record 438 patients were added to the pipeline in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 54% compared with 285 patients with previous payers in the same period a year ago.

CMS Update

"We met the objectives we set for ourselves during the quarter to advance our work to secure reimbursement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). These included the submission of new research for publication that further supports the benefits patients receive from the use of the MyoPro, the submission of our first claims for Medicare Part B beneficiaries and meeting with the medical directors of the Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors (DME MACs) to present this new research and discuss the path forward to obtain reimbursement from Medicare," continued Mr. Gudonis. “While we cannot predict the outcome regarding payment of our initial claims, I believe we made a compelling case to the DME MACs to make the MyoPro available to Medicare Part B beneficiaries, just as it is for seniors with Medicare Advantage insurance plans, many of which provide reimbursement for the MyoPro."

Business Outlook

“With the revenue from payment of the remaining initial technology license fee and our sequentially higher backlog, we expect record revenue in the second quarter of 2023,” added Mr. Gudonis. “We reiterate our belief that product revenue growth of between 20% to 30% is attainable in 2023."

Cash Position

Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023 were $9.3 million. Cash used in operating activities was $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2023. In January 2023, the Company completed an offering of common stock and pre-funded warrants that generated net proceeds of approximately $5.7 million. Including the payment of the remaining license fee in early April, the Company begins the second quarter with approximately $11.0 million in cash.
