Management Commentary

“We are pleased to be reporting sustained momentum with our efforts to expand the number of individuals who receive a MyoPro through our direct-to-consumer marketing and our own clinical services channel,” stated Paul R. Gudonis, Myomo’s chairman and chief executive officer. “A growing number of physicians are prescribing the MyoPro for their patients, and we obtained a record number of insurance authorizations and orders during the second quarter. We are also experiencing an acceleration of the revenue cycle as a growing number of units are regularly reimbursed by certain insurance plans.”

Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $3.1 million, an increase of 262% compared with the second quarter of 2020. In addition to an increase in the number of revenue units during the second quarter of 2021, the Company also recorded higher average selling prices. Myomo recognized revenue on 80 units in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 233% compared with the second quarter of 2020. Year-to-date revenue of $5.4 million was up 191% compared with the same period a year ago.

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2021 was 71%, compared with 51% for the second quarter of 2020. The margin expansion primarily reflects a higher average selling price and improved fixed cost coverage resulting from higher unit volume, partially offset by a greater number of deliveries to patients in the second quarter, which is when cost of goods sold is recognized. The Company delivered 86 units to patients in the second quarter. Year-to-date gross margin was 72%, compared with 60% in the year-ago period.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $4.8 million, an increase of 46% compared with the second quarter of 2020, which reflected various COVID-19 related expense reductions. Operating expenses for the first six months of 2021 were $9.4 million, an increase of 28% compared with the same period a year ago.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2021 narrowed to $2.6 million from $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2020. Net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $2.6 million, or $0.46 per share, compared with a net loss of $3.3 million, or $1.12 per share, for the second quarter of 2020. Net loss available to common stockholders for the first six months of 2021 was $5.6 million, or $1.03 per share, compared with $7.8 million, or $3.27 per share, for the comparable period in 2020. Net loss available to common stockholders in the first six months of 2020 included a deemed dividend of $0.7 million related to the repricing of certain warrants.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the second quarter of 2021 was negative $2.2 million, compared with negative $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2021 was negative $4.9 million, compared with negative $6.0 million for the same period a year ago. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to this non-GAAP financial measure appears below.

Business Outlook

“We expect to deliver another solid quarter of year-over-year revenue growth in the third quarter,” said Mr. Gudonis. “Our plan is to build upon the successful strategies we implemented during the first half of the year, in particular increased direct-to-patient marketing. In addition, we will continue to focus on the direct billing channel as we look forward to a strong finish to 2021.”

Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 were $13.8 million. Cash used in operating activities was $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2021, which included the payment of 2020 incentive compensation. Cash used in operating activities is expected to decrease in the third quarter of 2021 due to a lower working capital requirement. The Company continues to believe its existing cash is sufficient to fund operations well into the second half of 2022.
