Business Combinations. The IRRAS acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. Under the acquisition method of accounting, we record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquired business and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we may adjust provisional amounts that were recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information regarding the IRRAS acquisition.
Current report
Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of acquired technology and other identifiable intangible assets. Although we believe that the assumptions and estimates we have made are reasonable and appropriate, they are inherently subjective. The assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm was used to determine the estimated fair values and useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets including developed technology, customer relationships, and trademarks. Valuation methods were based on the income-based approaches including the multi-period excess earnings method, distributor method, and relief-from-royalty method for developed technology, customer relationships, and trademarks, respectively. Critical estimates and assumptions used in valuing acquired intangible assets include the timing and amount of forecasted revenue, expenses, and cash flows, the life cycle of each asset, the potential regulatory and commercial success risk, competitive trends impacting the assets, and the discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows. If the subsequent actual results and updated projections change compared with the assumptions and projections used to develop these values, we could record impairment charges. In addition, we have estimated the economic lives of certain acquired assets and these lives are used to calculate amortization expense. If our estimates of the economic lives change, amortization expenses could be accelerated or slowed.
Current report
Neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue, which primarily consists of disposable product commercial sales related to cases utilizing the ClearPoint system, increased 44% to $14.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, from $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase is driven by an increased customer base, additional revenues due to sales of the IRRA flow product, and higher sales for new offerings of SmartFrame OR, Prism Laser Therapy, and introduction of our 3.0 operating room software, during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
Current report
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $16.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $4.5 million, or 38%. This increase was due primarily to severance expense of $1.4 million in connection with the IRRAS acquisition, increased professional service fees of $1.0 million, higher personnel costs, including share-based compensation, of $0.9 million, higher information technology and software costs of $0.5 million, increased bad debt expense of $0.2 million, and additional costs of $0.2 million related to the IRRAS acquisition.
Current report
Interest Income. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1.2 million, compared with $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to decreased investment in U.S. Government securities due to lower cash balances in the first half of 2025.
Current report
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $2.4 million compared with $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was due to the issuance of notes payable in May and November 2025. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for more information regarding the notes payable issued in May and November 2025.
Current report
In May 2025, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “2025 SPA”) with TPC Investments III LP, an affiliate of Oberland Capital Management LLC (the “2025 Investor”) relating to the purchase and sale in a registered direct offering of an aggregate of 275,808 shares of our common stock at a price of $12.69 per share, based on the trailing 30-trading day volume-weighted average price of our common stock. The aggregate net proceeds to us from the offering totaled approximately $3.3 million, after deducting offering expenses payable by us. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for more information regarding the 2025 SPA.
Current report
Contemporaneously with entering into the 2025 SPA, we entered into a note purchase agreement (the “2025 NPA”) with the 2025 Investor and CALW SA, LLC, as purchaser agent, under which we may sell to the 2025 Investor tranches of notes (“Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $105.0 million. Under the terms of the 2025 NPA, (a) we sold a Note in the principal amount of
Current report
$30.0 million (the “First Purchase Note”) to the 2025 Investor upon signing of the 2025 NPA, (b) at our option, we may sell an additional $25.0 million in principal amount of Notes, in up to two increments of $12.5 million each, at any time prior to December 31, 2026, and (c) at our and 2025 Investor's option, we may sell up to $50.0 million in principal amount of Notes, at any time prior to December 31, 2026 (the “Third Tranche of Notes”).
Current report
In connection with the signing of the merger agreement pursuant which we acquired IRRAS, we and the 2025 Investor entered into an amendment to the 2025 NPA pursuant to which the 2025 Investor agreed to purchase $20.0 million in principal amount of the Third Tranche of Notes under the 2025 NPA following the closing of the IRRAS acquisition (the “Third Tranche Note”). The Third Tranche Note was sold to the 2025 Investor in November 2025.
Current report
The net proceeds from the sale of the First Purchase Note, after deducting the debt discount and debt issuance costs of $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, was approximately $28.7 million. The net proceeds from the sale of the Third Tranche Note, after deducting the debt discount and debt issuance costs, was approximately $19.4 million. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for more information regarding the 2025 NPA.
Current report
In November 2024, we established an at-the-market equity offering program under which we may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50 million. As of December 31, 2025, we did not sell any shares of common stock under our at-the-market equity offering program. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for more information regarding our at-the-market equity offering program.
Current report
Net Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities. Net cash flows used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $23.9 million, an increase of $15.0 million from the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to a higher net loss of $6.6 million, and the paydown of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $10.6 million, the majority of which were liabilities assumed from the IRRAS acquisition. We do not expect to incur cash outflows for the payment of assumed liabilities of a similar magnitude in future periods, as the paydown of the liabilities assumed in connection with the IRRAS acquisition represents a non-recurring event.
Current report
As of December 31, 2025, we had $50.9 million notes payable to the 2025 Investor due in 2031. Future interest payments associated with the notes are variable based on (i) the greater of the Term SOFR (as defined in the 2025 NPA) and 4.30%; and (ii) 3.95%, with a minimum rate of 8.25% and a cap of 9.50%. At current interest rates, we expect the interest payments (not including paid-in-kind) for the next 12 months to be approximately $2.5 million. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Share-Based Compensation. We account for compensation for all arrangements under which employees and others receive shares of stock or other equity instruments (such as restricted stock and options) based on fair value. The fair value of each award is estimated as of the grant date and amortized as compensation expense over the requisite vesting period. In the case of stock options, the fair value is estimated on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock volatility, estimated award terms and risk-free interest rates for the expected terms. To estimate the expected terms, we utilize the simplified method for “plain vanilla” options discussed in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, or SAB 107. We believe that all factors listed within SAB 107 as prerequisites for utilizing the simplified method apply to us and to our share-based compensation arrangements. We intend to utilize the simplified method for the foreseeable future until more detailed information about exercise behavior becomes available. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock. We utilize risk-free interest rates based on U.S. treasury instruments, the term of which is consistent with the expected term of the share-based award. We have not paid, and do not anticipate paying, cash dividends on shares of our common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in estimates or assumptions used to determine share-based compensation expense.

Neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue, which primarily consists of disposable product commercial sales related to cases utilizing the ClearPoint system, increased 21% to $10.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, from $8.5 million for the same period in 2023. Product revenue increased $2.7 million, or 36%, resulting from newly activated accounts, increased case count, and new product offerings, including SmartFrame OR and Prism Laser Therapy, compared to the same period in 2023. This was partially offset by a decrease in service and other revenue of $0.9 million primarily as a result of pausing a co-development program with one of our Brain Computer Interface partners.
Previous report
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $11.8 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $0.2 million, or 2%. This increase was due primarily to higher personnel costs, including share-based compensation of $1.2 million, an increase in rent and occupancy costs as a result of the new Carlsbad site of $0.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in the allowance for credit losses of $1.5 million mainly as a result of subsequent recoveries.
Previous report
Interest Income (Expense). Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $0.9 million, compared with $0.4 million for the same period in 2023, as a result of increased investment in U.S. Government debt securities stemming from the capital raise in March 2024 as well as lower interest expense due to the early repayment of the First Closing Note.
Previous report
In August 2024, we repaid in full the remaining $10 million outstanding under the secured convertible notes issued in 2020 to two investors raising gross proceeds of $25 million, of which $15 million had been previously converted to common stock.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash flows used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $9.0 million, a decrease of $4.8 million from the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was due to a lower net loss of $3.2 million, and a net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $1.8 million, partially offset by a net decrease in non-cash items of $0.2 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities is primarily due to higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by lower deferred revenue. The change in the non-cash items results primarily from recoveries in the allowance for credit losses, partially offset by higher share-based compensation expense.
Previous report
Net cash flows provided by investing activities in 2023 were $8.9 million and consisted of proceeds from the maturities of short-term investments, partially offset by equipment acquisitions related to our new manufacturing site in Carlsbad, California, and acquisition of licensing rights.

Previous wording
Underlying the revenue from sales of products and services to our biologics and drug delivery customers is the number of direct customers and end users of our products and/or services (“Partners”). Our Partners consist of pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, or customer-sponsored contract research organizations that are developing methods to deliver a wide variety of molecules, genes or proteins to targeted brain tissue or structures that would need to bypass the blood-brain barrier for the treatment of a variety of disorders. This is a novel area in which commercialization must be preceded by FDA-mandated clinical trials, which are expensive and time consuming to conduct, and for which commercial success is uncertain, pending, in part, on the outcome of those trials. While our revenue from sales of products and services to our biologics and drug delivery customers is indicative of growth, the number of Partner relationships is also of importance as we recognize the possibility that some Partners’ research will reach commercial success, and others may not. To the extent our Partners achieve commercial success, our expectation is that we will share in such success through our Partners’ use of our products and services in their delivery of therapies. At December 31, 2024, we had more than 60 Partners, as compared to over 50 Partners as of the same date in 2023.

Inventory. Inventory is carried at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Items in inventory relate predominantly to our neurosurgical products, drug delivery and biologic products, therapy products and ClearPoint capital equipment. Software license inventory related to ClearPoint systems undergoing on-site customer evaluation is included in inventory in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. All other software license inventory is classified as a non-current asset. We periodically review our inventory for excess and obsolete items and provide a reserve upon giving consideration to factors such as its physical condition, sales patterns, and expected future demand in order to estimate the amount necessary to write down any slow moving, obsolete, or damaged inventory. These estimates could vary from actual amounts based upon future economic conditions, customer inventory levels, or competitive factors that were not foreseen or did not exist when the estimated write-downs were made.
