Current report
On November 4, 2025, the Company announced that Keith J. Sullivan, who has served as President and Chief Executive Officer since July 14, 2020, informed the Board of his intention to retire. Mr. Sullivan will step down as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer on March 23, 2026 and retire on March 31, 2026.On March 17, 2026, the Company announced that Daniel Reuvers will be appointed as the new President and Chief Executive Officer. The effectiveness of our new Chief Executive Officer, and our ability to maintain continuity during the transition, will be important to the continued execution of our strategy.
Current report
Historically, we have offered products primarily through a standard treatment session model. However, we are piloting new purchasing models, including allowing customers to purchase systems on a capital-only basis (instead of the treatment session model), offering new lease options, both directly and through third-party financing partners, and providing standalone support services to capital-only customers who subsequently seek additional services.
Current report
These changes create several risks that could adversely affect our business:
Current report
If we do not execute these alternative purchasing models effectively, or if the market does not accept these new offerings as anticipated, our revenues could decline; we may incur higher expenses associated with supporting multiple sales and service channels; and overall customer satisfaction could decrease. Any of these outcomes could have an adverse effect on our business prospects, operating results, or financial condition.
Current report
We continue to make substantial investments in our information technology systems to drive customer satisfaction and productivity. These investments may involve the potential adoption of generative artificial intelligence in certain processes. We could be adversely affected by system or network disruptions if new or upgraded information technology systems are defective, not installed properly, or not properly integrated into operations.
Current report
On October 8, 2025, a subsidiary of the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (the “Demand”) under the FCA dated August 28, 2025, from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida. The Demand seeks information from certain subsidiaries related to federal healthcare program billing practices. The Company is cooperating with the Assistant United States Attorney who issued the Demand and is engaged in ongoing constructive dialogue in order to satisfy the Demand. The United States Attorney for the Middle District of Florida is working jointly with the Florida, Nevada and New Jersey Attorneys General offices. The Demand is focused on periods in time prior to the Company’s acquisition of Greenbrook TMS Inc. Additionally, in October 2025, the Michigan Attorney General’s office opened a similar investigation. Similar to the Demand, the Company is cooperating with the Michigan investigation.

and providing care that is not medically necessary or that is substandard in quality. Claims for services or items rendered in violation of the AKS or the Stark Law are also a basis for liability under the FCA. The FCA is also implicated by the knowing failure to report and return an identified overpayment to the Medicare or Medicaid programs within 60 days of identifying the overpayment or by the date a corresponding cost report is due, whichever is later.
Current report
We are subject to the FDA’s medical device reporting regulations and similar foreign regulations, which require us to report to the FDA when we receive or become aware of information that reasonably suggests that one or more of our products and services may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that, if the malfunction were to recur, it could cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. The timing of our obligation to report is triggered by the date we become aware of the adverse event as well as the nature of the event. We may fail to report adverse events of which we become aware within the prescribed timeframe. We may also fail to recognize that we have become aware of a reportable adverse event, especially if it is not reported to us as an adverse event or if it is an adverse event that is unexpected or removed in time from the use of the product. If we fail to comply with our reporting obligations, the FDA could take action, including warning letters, untitled letters, administrative actions, criminal prosecution, imposition of civil monetary penalties, revocation of our device clearance, seizure of our products or delay in clearance of future products.
Current report
On July 3, 2025, the Company entered into the Distribution Agreement, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million from time to time through the ATM Program. Sales under the Distribution Agreement, will be made pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-288526), and a related prospectus and prospectus supplement.
Current report
As previously disclosed, Madryn and the Company are parties to that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated August 11, 2024, as amended, under which Madryn could exercise its rights to request the filing of a registration statement. On March 9, 2026, Madryn notified the Company that it would exercise its right to request filing of a registration statement. This registration statement will facilitate Madryn’s ability to sell the Company common stock that it owns. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. We cannot predict whether future sales of shares of our common stock, or the availability of shares for resale in the open market, will decrease the market price of our common stock.
Current report
We may lose our status as a non-accelerated filer and in a future fiscal year be required to, among other things, provide an auditor’s attestation of management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting required by Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. A change in status, or anticipated change in status, may make our common stock less attractive to investors and the costs and demands placed upon management to assist with the attestation report may increase.

Previous report
Our revenue has been concentrated among a small number of customers, and if we lose any of these customers and fail to replace them, our revenue may decrease substantially.
Previous report
A significant amount of Neuronetics’ revenue is derived from a limited number of customers, including current competitors of Greenbrook. Any material non-payment or non-performance by one of these customers, a significant downturn or deterioration in the business or financial condition of any of these customers, or any
Previous report
other event significantly negatively impacting a contractual relationship with one of these customers could adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
Previous report
Prior to the Arrangement, Greenbrook was Neuronetics’ largest customer, and revenue derived from Greenbrook will now be eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Previous report
The Company may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement.
Previous report
Achieving the benefits of the Arrangement depends in part on the ability of the Company to effectively capitalize on its scale, scope and leadership, to realize the anticipated operating synergies, and to maximize the potential of its growth opportunities. A variety of factors, including those risk factors set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the documents incorporated by reference herein, may adversely affect the ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement.
Previous report
If Greenbrook’s actual financial results materially differ from its reported financial statements, our future profitability, cash flows and stock price could be adversely affected.
Previous report
Greenbrook did not file a quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and Greenbrook deregistered with the SEC and is no longer required to file a reports under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, Greenbrook’s financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 did not go through the typical independent auditor review procedures required for publicly reporting companies. As a result, actual results could materially differ from previous quarterly financial statements. If Greenbrook’s actual financial results materially differ from its financial statements for such prior period, our future profitability, cash flows and stock price could be adversely affected.

and may result in physicians being subject to disciplinary action, as well as the forfeiture of revenues from payors for services rendered. For lay entities, violations may also bring both civil and, in more extreme cases, criminal liability for engaging in medical practice without a license. Some of the relevant laws, regulations and agency interpretations in states with corporate practice of medicine restrictions have been subject to limited judicial and regulatory interpretation. In limited cases, courts have required management services companies to divest or reorganize structures deemed to violate corporate practice restrictions. Moreover, these state laws are subject to change. While the Company believes that the Company, including via its contractual relationships with supported physician groups, is in substantial compliance with state laws prohibiting the corporate practice of medicine and fee-splitting, other parties may assert that, despite the way the Company will be structured, the Company could be engaged in the corporate practice of medicine and/or unlawful fee-splitting. In this event, failure to comply could lead to adverse judicial or administrative action against the Company and/or the Company’s healthcare provider practices, overpayment demands, civil or criminal penalties, receipt of cease and desist orders from state regulators, loss of provider licenses, and/or the need to make changes to the terms of engagement of the Company’s healthcare provider practices that interfere with the Company’s business, each of which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Reworded paragraphs (121)
Previous wording
We have incurred net losses since inception, including net losses of $43.7 million and $30.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As a result of ongoing losses, as of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $419.8 million. We expect to continue to incur significant integration, sales and marketing, product development, regulatory and other expenses as we continue to expand our marketing efforts to increase adoption of our products and expand existing relationships with our customers, to obtain regulatory clearances or approvals for our products in additional countries and for additional indications, integrate the Greenbrook business, and to develop new products or add new features to our existing products. The net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. We will need to generate significant additional revenues to achieve and sustain profitability, and even if we achieve profitability, we cannot be sure that we will remain profitable for any substantial period of time. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock.

sales of these and any related products and services. Because the market for TMS therapy is still developing and contains a limited number of market participants, sales of our products could be negatively impacted by unfavorable market reactions to our or other TMS devices. If the use of our or other TMS therapies results in serious adverse events, or such products malfunction or are misused, patients and psychiatrists may attribute such negative events to TMS therapy generally, which may adversely affect market adoption of our products. Additionally, if patients undergoing treatment with a NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System perceive the benefits to be inadequate or adverse events too numerous or severe compared to the relevant rates of alternative TMS therapies or pharmaceutical options, it will be difficult to demonstrate the value of our NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System to patients and psychiatrists. As a result, demand for and the use of our NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System may decline or may not increase at the pace or to the levels we expect.

Our operations and interactions with healthcare systems, providers and patients expose us to risks associated with public health crises, including epidemics and pandemics. The global impact of COVID-19, or other global pandemic including corresponding preventative and precautionary measures that we and other businesses, communities and governments may take to mitigate the spread of such disease, may lead to restrictions on, disruptions in, and other related impacts on business and personal activities, which may adversely impact our business and liquidity.

Previous wording
In the United States, sales of our products will depend, in part, on the extent to which the treatment sessions using our products are covered and reimbursed by third-party payors, including private insurers and government healthcare programs. Even if a third-party payor covers a particular treatment that uses our products, the resulting reimbursement rate may not be adequate to cover a provider’s cost to purchase our products or ensure such purchase is profitable for the provider. Further, patients who are treated in-office for a medical condition generally rely on third-party payors to reimburse all or part of the costs associated with the treatment and may be unwilling to undergo such treatment in the absence of coverage and adequate reimbursement, or due to large annual deductibles associated with certain health insurance plans.

Current wording
Reimbursement by a third-party payor may depend upon a number of factors, including the third-party payor’s determination that a treatment is neither experimental nor investigational, safe, effective, medically reasonable and necessary (which may include provision of treatment only in the absence of certain alternatives), appropriate for the specific patient, cost-effective, supported by peer-reviewed medical journals or included in clinical practice guidelines.
Previous wording
In the United States, there is no uniform policy of coverage and reimbursement among third-party payors. Third-party payors often rely upon Medicare coverage policies and payment limitations in setting their own reimbursement policies, but also have their own methods and approval process apart from Medicare coverage and reimbursement determinations. Therefore, coverage, reimbursement and utilization guidelines for treatments may differ significantly from payor to payor. Decisions regarding the extent of coverage and amount of reimbursement to be provided for an in-office treatment is made on a plan-by-plan basis. One payor’s determination to provide coverage for a specific treatment does not assure that other payors will also provide coverage, and adequate reimbursement.

Temporary subsidies available in conjunction with the purchase of certain private health insurance have expired and may not be revived. Eligibility for Medicaid has recently been subject to additional restrictions. Reductions in the availability or attainment of health insurance, overall, may impact the number of individuals seeking treatment.

The marketability of our products may suffer if the government and third-party payors fail to provide adequate coverage and reimbursement. Even if favorable coverage and reimbursement status is attained, less favorable coverage policies and reimbursement rates may be implemented in the future.

Current wording
If we are unable to adequately train providers on the safe and appropriate use of our products and services, we may be unable to achieve our expected growth.
Previous wording
There is a learning process involved for treatment providers to become proficient in the use of our products, which requires us to spend considerable time and resources for training. It is critical to the success of our commercialization efforts to train a sufficient number of psychiatrists and to provide them with adequate, ongoing instruction and training in the use of our products. This training process generally requires psychiatrists to review and study product materials, engage in multi-day, hands-on training sessions for up to four hours per day and participate in a multi-day observational period prior to treating patients independently. This training process may also take longer than expected or be more complicated than the psychiatrists or their personnel are comfortable with and may therefore affect our ability to increase sales. Convincing psychiatrists to dedicate the time and energy necessary for adequate training is challenging, and we may not be successful in these efforts.

In addition, customers may not derive sufficient cash flow from using the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy Systems due to their own practice economics or otherwise. Failure to achieve economic benefits from the purchase or use of the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System would adversely affect our customers’ purchase of treatment sessions. These factors could also reduce the number of procedures performed using our NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, and if we do not facilitate the utilization of our products by our customers, our revenues and results of operations could be harmed.

Previous wording
In order to generate repeat and referral business, patients must be satisfied with the effectiveness of our NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System. Clinical studies demonstrate that, in order to be effective, our products must be used for a period of four to six weeks, and require a patient to return to a psychiatrist’s office five days a week during that period in order to receive the recommended course of treatment. Since patients who achieve response or remission using our therapy will obtain these results gradually over this treatment period, their perception of their results may vary depending on their compliance with the prescribed treatment course.

We train our customers to select the appropriate patient candidates for treatment using the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, explain to their patients the time-period over which the results from a treatment course can be expected to occur, and measure the success of treatments using medical guidelines. However, our customers may not select appropriate patient candidates for NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System treatment, which may produce results that may not meet patients’ expectations. In addition, the efficacy of treatment is dependent on proper patient set up at the initial treatment session and duplication of that set up at future treatment sessions. To the extent customers do not make the proper measurements for a specific patient or use the same procedures at each treatment session, it could result in variability of the treatment efficacy and results for the patient. If patients are not satisfied with the results of our NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, our reputation and future sales will suffer.

Previous wording
Our currently marketed products are, and any future products we develop and commercialize will be, subject to intense competition. The industry in which we operate is subject to rapid change and is highly sensitive to the introduction of new products or other market activities of current or new industry participants. Our ability to compete successfully will depend on our ability to develop products that reach the market in a timely manner, to receive adequate coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors, and to successfully demonstrate to psychiatrists and patients the merits of our products compared to those of our competitors. If we are not successful in convincing others of the merits of our products, including in comparison to those of our competitors, or educating them on the use of our products, they may not use our products or use them effectively and we may be unable to increase our sales.

We have competitors that sell other forms of TMS therapy, including Brainsway, Magstim, MagVenture, CloudTMS and Nexstim, that compete directly with the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System. Competing TMS therapy companies have developed and may develop additional treatments that can be administered for shorter time periods or for indications outside of MDD, or may develop treatments that have improved efficacy when compared to our products or that require a less significant investment of resources from psychiatrists. We also face competition from pharmaceutical and other companies that develop competitive products, such as antidepressant medications. Our commercial opportunity could be reduced or eliminated if these competitors develop and commercialize antidepressant medications or other treatments that are safer, more convenient or more effective than the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System. At any time, these and other potential market entrants may develop treatment alternatives that may render our products uncompetitive.

If we launch new products, expand our product offerings to new indications or increase our marketing efforts with respect to existing products, we will need to expand the reach of our marketing and sales networks. Our future success will depend largely on our ability to continue to hire, train, retain and motivate skilled employees, and distributors with significant technical knowledge in various areas. Further, most of the salespersons we recently hired have technical expertise from other industries but no experience within our specific industry. New hires require training and take time to achieve full productivity. If we fail to train new hires adequately, new hires fail to successfully transition to our industry, or we experience high turnover in our sales force in the future, new hires may not become as productive as may be necessary to maintain or increase our sales. If we are unable to expand our sales and marketing capabilities domestically and internationally, we may be unable to effectively commercialize our products.

Our success depends on the skills, experience and performance of the members of our senior management team. The individual and collective efforts of these employees will be important as we continue to develop our products and as we expand our commercial activities. We believe that it is challenging to identify individuals with the requisite skills to serve in many of our key positions, and the loss or incapacity of existing members of our executive management team could negatively impact our operations. We did not maintain key person life insurance on any of our employees in 2024 and do not expect to in the future. Our Chief Executive Officer’s employment agreement does not guarantee our retention of our Chief Executive Officer for any period of time.

We may be unable to attract or retain qualified managers, salespeople or product development and customer training personnel in the future due to the competition for qualified personnel in the medical treatment and device fields, as well as other fields. We also face competition from universities and public and private research institutions in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific personnel. Recruiting and retention difficulties can limit our ability to support our commercial, supply chain and research and development programs. The loss of key employees, the failure of any key employee to perform or our inability to attract and retain skilled employees, as needed, or an inability to effectively plan for and implement a succession plan for key employees could harm our business.

In order to increase our future revenues, we must successfully enhance our existing product offerings and introduce new products in response to changing customer demands and competitive pressures and technologies. Our industry is characterized by intense competition, including from lower-cost competitors, rapid technological changes, new product introductions and enhancements and evolving industry standards. We also face competition from pharmaceutical companies, including large pharmaceutical companies with greater capital. Our business prospects depend in part on our ability to develop and commercialize new products, services and applications for our technology, including in new markets that develop as a result of technological, pharmaceutical and scientific advances, while improving the performance and cost-effectiveness of our products. New pharmaceutical products, technologies, techniques or other products could emerge that might offer better combinations of price and performance than our products. It is important that we anticipate changes in technology and market demand, as well as psychiatrist practices to successfully develop, obtain clearance or approval, if required, and successfully introduce new, enhanced and competitive technologies to meet our prospective customers’ needs on a timely and cost-effective basis.

This anticipated growth could create a strain on our organizational, administrative and operational infrastructure, including our supply chain operations, quality control, technical support and customer service, sales force management and general and financial administration. We may be unable to maintain the quality, or delivery timelines, of our products or customer service or satisfy customer demand if our business grows too rapidly. Our ability to manage our growth properly will require us to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, and our reporting systems and procedures.

We rely on a network of third-party distributors to market and distribute our products in international markets. We currently sell our products in five countries outside of the United States and plan to market and sell our products through our exclusive distribution agreement in Japan once we attain reimbursement approval. We are assessing the opportunity to continue expanding into other international markets. We may face significant challenges and risks in managing a geographically dispersed distribution network. We have limited ability to control any third-party distributors. Our distributors may be unable to successfully market and sell our products and may not devote sufficient time and resources to support the marketing, sales, education and training efforts that we believe enable the products to develop, achieve or sustain market acceptance. Additionally, in some international jurisdictions, we rely on our distributors to manage the regulatory process, while complying with all applicable rules and regulations, and we are dependent on their ability to do so effectively. In addition, if a dispute arises with a distributor or if a distributor is terminated by us or goes out of business, it may take time to locate an alternative distributor, to seek appropriate regulatory approvals and to train new personnel to market our products, and our ability to sell those systems in the region formerly serviced by such terminated distributor could be harmed. Any of these factors could reduce our revenues from affected markets, increase our costs in those markets or damage our reputation. In addition, if an independent distributor were to depart and be retained by one of our competitors, we may be unable to prevent that distributor from helping competitors solicit business from our existing customers, which could further adversely affect our sales. As a result of our reliance on third-party distributors, we may be subject to disruptions and increased costs due to factors beyond our control, including labor strikes, third-party error and other issues. If the services of any of these third-party distributors become unsatisfactory, we may experience delays in meeting our customers’ demands and we may be unable to find a suitable replacement on a timely basis or on commercially reasonable terms. Any failure to deliver products in a timely manner may damage our reputation and could cause us to lose potential customers.

Our employees, distributors, and other third parties may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements.
Previous report — wording carried elsewhere
We are exposed to the risk that our employees, distributors, and other third parties may engage in inappropriate, fraudulent or illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless or negligent conduct or other unauthorized activities that violate, regardless of intent, regulations of the FDA and other U.S. healthcare regulators, as well as non-U.S. regulators, including by violating laws requiring the reporting of true, complete and accurate information to such regulators, manufacturing standards, healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations in the United States and abroad or laws that require the true, complete, and accurate reporting of financial information or data. In particular, sales, marketing, and business arrangements in the healthcare industry, including the sale, promotion and labeling of medical devices or arrangements with healthcare providers, are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, misconduct, kickbacks, self-dealing, patient steering and other abusive practices, as described herein.
Previous report — wording carried elsewhere
These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer or patient incentive programs, and other business, investment or compensation arrangements. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct by our employees, distributors, and other third parties, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with these laws or regulations. Efforts to ensure that the activities of these parties will comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations involve substantial costs. These risks may exceed those which we have identified, and the processes and policies we have implemented may not be sufficient to prevent misconduct. Noncompliance may result in the imposition of significant fines or other sanctions, including civil, criminal and administrative penalties, monetary damages, fines, individual imprisonment, disgorgement, possible exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, additional reporting obligations and oversight if we becomes subject to a corporate integrity agreement or other agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance with these laws, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and the curtailment of our operations. Whether or not we are successful in defending against such actions or investigations, we could incur substantial costs, including legal fees, and divert the attention of management in defending ourselves against any of these claims or investigations.

Even if granted, a 510(k) clearance,de novo classification, or PMA imposes substantial restrictions on how our devices may be marketed or sold, and the FDA continues to place considerable restrictions on our products and operations.

In addition, manufacturers must register their manufacturing facilities, list the products with the FDA, and comply with requirements relating to labeling, marketing, complaint handling, adverse event and medical device reporting, reporting of corrections and removals, and import and export restrictions. The FDA monitors compliance with the QSR and these other requirements through periodic inspections.
