Myomo, Inc. (NYSE American: MYO) (“Myomo” or the “Company”), a wearable medical robotics company that offers increased functionality for those suffering from neurological disorders and upper-limb paralysis, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Financial and operational highlights for the third quarter of 2022 include the following:

• Product revenue was $4.0 million, up 8% sequentially;
• Revenue units were 87, up 9% sequentially;
• MyoPro orders and insurance authorizations were received for 130 patients, up 27% sequentially;
• Backlog, which represents insurance authorizations and orders received but not yet converted to revenue, was a record 184 units, up 13% sequentially;
• 419 new candidates were added to the patient pipeline, consistent with the prior quarter and up 26% from the third quarter of 2021, which resulted in 1,112 MyoPro® candidates overall in the pipeline as of September 30, 2022;
• Direct billing channel represented 79% of revenue, compared with 85% in the prior year period;
• Gross margin was 66.5%, down 820 basis points from Q3 2021 and up 100 basis points sequentially; and,
• Cost per pipeline add remained approximately $2,500, down almost 50% from the peak several quarters ago.

Management Commentary

“The growth in the patient pipeline we reported in the second quarter resulted in sequential growth in authorizations and orders in the third quarter,” stated Paul R. Gudonis, Myomo’s chairman and chief executive officer. “As a result, we are carrying a record-high backlog into the fourth quarter. Fourth quarter backlog also includes our highest quarterly total for orders from the VA channel, which accounts for more than 10% of the backlog. Pipeline additions continued to be strong in the third quarter, leading to a record number of candidates in the insurance reimbursement process. We have learned from the challenges experienced a year ago due to competition from holiday and election advertising, leading us to fine-tune our marketing efforts to maximize lead generation, while minimizing expected growth in cost per pipeline add in the fourth quarter."

Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $4.0 million, a decrease of 9%, compared with the third quarter of 2021, but an increase of 8% sequentially. Growth in revenue was driven by a higher average selling price (ASP). Myomo recognized revenue on 87 MyoPro units in the third quarter of 2022, down 15% from the same period a year ago. Year-to-date revenue of $11.5 million was up 17%, compared with the same period a year ago. Excluding the partial joint venture license payment received in the first quarter of 2022, year-to-date product revenue of $10.5 million was up 7% compared with the same period a year ago.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2022 was 66.5%, compared with 74.7% for the third quarter of 2021. The decrease was driven by higher product costs in the current inflationary environment, partially offset by a higher ASP. Year-to-date gross margin was 66.2%, compared with 73.2% in the year-ago period.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $5.5 million, an increase of 3%, compared with the third quarter of 2021. The increase was driven primarily by higher compensation and advertising costs. Advertising costs of $1.0 million increased 14%, compared with the third quarter of 2021. Year-to-date operating expenses were $16.1 million, an increase of 9% over the same period a year ago.

Operating loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $2.8 million, compared with $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2021. Net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $2.8 million, or $0.40 per share, compared with a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.36 per share, for the third quarter of 2021. Operating loss for the first nine months of 2022 was $8.4 million, compared with $7.6 million for the same period a year ago. Net loss for the first nine months of 2022 was $8.6 million, or $1.24 per share, compared with $7.6 million, or $1.38 per share, for the same period a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022 was negative $2.5 million, compared with negative $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was a negative $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $6.6 million for the year-ago period. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to this non-GAAP financial measure appears below.

Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 were $7.4 million. Cash used in operating activities was $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2022. In order to enhance liquidity, the Company has called for a special shareholders meeting to be held in December 2022 to approve the sale of the full $5.0 million of availability under its equity line of credit with Keystone Capital Partners.

Business Outlook

“We expect to be able to report modest sequential product revenue growth in the fourth quarter,” said Gudonis. “While growing the pipeline will be seasonally challenging in the fourth quarter due to competition from holiday and election advertising, we expect to enter 2023 with a much larger pipeline than we entered 2022, positioning the Company for stronger product revenue growth in 2023."
