Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Previous report

We have a history of net losses, and we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. If we ever achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain it.

Previous report

We have incurred losses since our inception and expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We reported net losses of $17.7 million and $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As a result of these losses, as of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $175.5 million. We expect to continue to incur significant sales and marketing, research and development, clinical and regulatory, and other expenses as we expand our commercial organization, increase marketing efforts to drive adoption of Vivistim Therapy, expand existing relationships with our customers, conduct clinical trials on our existing and future products and develop new products or add new features to our existing products, pursue any required regulatory clearances or approvals, and seek to establish broader commercial coverage. In addition, we expect our general and administrative expenses to increase due to the additional costs associated with being a public company. Additionally, we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other known and unknown obstacles as we continue to build and scale our business. The net losses that we incur may fluctuate significantly from period to period. We will need to generate significant additional revenue in order to achieve and sustain profitability. Even if we achieve profitability, we cannot be sure that we will remain profitable for any period of time.

Previous report

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

Previous report

We have experienced recent rapid growth and anticipate further growth. For example, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, our revenue was $12.1 million compared to revenue of $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of 113% year-over-year. This growth has placed significant demands on our management, financial, operational, technological and other resources, and we expect that our future growth will continue to place significant demands on our management and other resources and will require us to continue developing and improving our operational, financial and other internal controls. In particular, continued growth increases the challenges involved in a number of areas, including managing our third-party manufacturers and supplier relationships and ensuring adequate inventory is available, recruiting and retaining sufficient skilled personnel for leadership positions, sales force and other functions, providing adequate training and supervision to maintain our high-quality standards and preserving our culture and values. We may not be able to address these challenges in a cost-effective manner, or at all.

Previous report

To achieve our business objectives, we must also successfully increase our supply of products and components from third-party manufacturers to meet expected demand. If demand decreases, we will need to implement capacity and cost reduction measures involving restructuring costs. If demand increases, we will be required to make capital expenditures related to increased production. This would also put pressure on our third-party manufacturing capabilities. For example, a sudden increase in demand could require increased production of components, such as the implantable pulse generator (IPG) or stimulation lead. Adapting to changes in demand inherently involves a delay because it takes time to identify the change the market is undergoing and to implement any measures to take as a result. Finally, capacity adjustments are inherently risky because there is imperfect information, and sales trends may rapidly intensify, ebb, or even reverse. We may be unable to accurately or timely predict trends in demand and customer behavior or to take appropriate measures to mitigate risks and react to opportunities resulting from such trends. Any inability in the future to identify or to adequately and effectively react to changes in demand could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

In addition, we may experience challenges managing the inventory of components of our Vivistim System, which can lead to excess inventory. Inventory levels in excess of customer demand may result in inventory obsolescence or expiration, which could potentially result in inventory write-downs or write-offs, which could be substantial and could impact our gross margins. Actual future demand could be less than our forecast, which may result in additional reserves and write-downs in the future, or actual demand could be stronger than our forecast, which may result in a reduction to previously recorded reserves and write-downs in the future and increase the volatility of our operating results.

Previous report

In the future, we may also experience difficulties with quality control, component supply and shortages of qualified personnel, among other problems. These problems could result in delays in product availability, product quality issues, delays in our ability to reach our sales potential, delays in the development and launch of new products and increases in expenses. Any such delays, issues or increased expenses could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, rapid and significant growth will place a strain on our administrative and operational infrastructure, particularly as a newly public company. In order to manage our operations and growth, we will need to continue to improve our operational and management controls, hiring process, reporting and information technology systems and financial internal control procedures. If we do not effectively manage our growth, we may not be able to execute on our business plan, respond to competitive pressures, take advantage of market opportunities, reach our sales potential, satisfy customer requirements or maintain high-quality product offerings, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

Our success depends entirely on our currently marketed Vivistim Therapy. If we are unable to successfully market and sell Vivistim Therapy, our business prospects will be materially and adversely affected, and we may be unable to achieve revenue growth and to fund our operations.

Previous report

To date, all of our revenue has been derived, and we expect it to continue to be derived, from sales of our Vivistim System. Our future financial success will depend entirely on our ability to effectively and profitably market and sell Vivistim Therapy. The commercial success of Vivistim Therapy and any of our future products we develop will depend on a number of factors, including the following:

Previous report

the market awareness and adoption of Vivistim Therapy, including by patients and our customers;

Previous report

the scope, timing and costs of supporting the growth and expansion of our commercial organization and efforts;

Previous report

the adoption of private payor coverage of our products;

Previous report

changes in the acquisition costs of finished goods and components used in our products;

Previous report

the costs associated with securing additional suppliers and service providers;

Previous report

Previous report

the scope, rate of progress and costs of our current or future clinical and registries as well as costs associated with complying with regulatory requirements;

Previous report

the cost and timing of additional regulatory clearances or approvals;

Previous report

the costs of attaining, defending, and enforcing our intellectual property rights;

Previous report

whether we acquire third-party products or technologies;

Previous report

the emergence of competing or complementary technologies;

Previous report

debt service requirements;

Previous report

the rate at which we expand internationally;

Previous report

the cost associated with being a public company;

Previous report

our reputation among physicians, hospitals and therapists; and

Previous report

whether we are required by the FDA or comparable non-U.S. regulatory authorities to conduct additional clinical trials for future or current indications.

Previous report

If we fail to successfully market and sell our products, we will not be able to achieve profitability, which will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

If we fail to effectively hire, train, and retain our direct sales force, increase our sales capabilities, or develop broad brand awareness in a cost-effective manner, our growth will be materially and adversely affected, and our business will suffer.

Previous report

We have a direct sales team with substantial applicable medical device and clinical experience, as well as sales management. In order to generate future growth, we must continue to add highly qualified personnel to our commercial organization, with a strategic mix of TMs and TDSs, to drive further awareness and penetration within healthcare providers that interact with stroke survivors. Identifying and recruiting qualified commercial personnel and training them on our product, applicable federal and state laws and regulations, and on our internal policies and procedures requires significant time, expense, and attention. Once hired, the training process is lengthy because it requires significant education for new TMs and TDSs to achieve the level of clinical competency with our products expected by physicians and therapists. Upon completion of the training, our TMs and TDSs typically require lead time in the field to grow their network of accounts and achieve the productivity levels we expect them to reach in any individual territory. Furthermore, the use of our products may involve limited, non-contractual support activities provided in connection with initial education and setup prior to or at the time of implantation. The Company does not have an ongoing obligation to provide programming, reprogramming, or customer or technical support after implantation, and any such activities, if performed, are incidental and not considered significant. Also, to the extent we hire personnel from our competitors, we may have to wait until applicable non-competition or non-solicitation provisions have expired before deploying such personnel in restricted territories or incur costs to relocate personnel outside of such territories, and we may be subject to future allegations that these new hires have been improperly solicited, or that they have divulged to us proprietary or other confidential information of their former employers. Our business may be harmed if our efforts to expand and train our sales force and any future efforts to engage in direct-to-patient programs and direct-to-consumer marketing do not generate a corresponding increase in revenue, and our higher fixed costs may slow our ability to reduce costs in the face of a sudden decline in demand for our products. Moreover, the members of our direct sales force are at-will employees. The loss of these personnel to competitors or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If we are unable to attract, train and retain our direct sales force personnel or replace them with individuals of equivalent technical expertise and qualifications, if we are unable to successfully instill technical expertise in replacement personnel, or if our direct sales force personnel are unable to reach the productivity levels we expect on the timeline we expect for any reason, our revenue and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Previous report

The commercial success of Vivistim Therapy depends upon attaining significant market acceptance of our products by hospitals, healthcare providers, therapists, patients, caregivers and payors.

Previous report

Our success depends, in part, on the acceptance of Vivistim Therapy as safe, effective and cost-effective. We cannot predict how quickly, if at all, hospitals, healthcare providers, therapists, patients, caregivers or payors will adopt Vivistim Therapy or, if adopted, how frequently Vivistim Therapy will be used. Vivistim Therapy and any future products we may develop or market may never gain broad market acceptance for some or all of our targeted indications. It is important to our success, future growth, and profitability that we are able to increase healthcare provider awareness of Vivistim Therapy and that hospitals, healthcare providers, therapists, patients, caregivers and payors believe that our products offer benefits over alternative treatment methods, and that they adopt our products. These parties may not adopt our products unless they are able to determine, based on experience, clinical data, medical society recommendations, and other analyses, that our products are safe, effective and cost-effective on a stand-alone basis and relative to competitors’ products. If physicians or payors do not find our body of published clinical evidence and data compelling or wish to wait for additional studies, they may choose not to use or provide coverage and reimbursement for or prescribe our product. Currently, there are a number of large third-party payers that have determined that our Vivistim Therapy is experimental or investigational and therefore do not cover it at this time. In addition, the long-term effects of our Vivistim Therapy beyond our current clinical trials are not yet known. Certain physicians, hospitals, therapists and payers may prefer to see longer-term safety and efficacy data than we have produced. Even if we are able to raise awareness, physicians and therapists may be slow in changing their medical treatment practices and may be hesitant to select our products for recommendation to their patients for a variety of reasons, including:

Previous report

long-standing relationships with competing companies and distributors that sell other products;

Previous report

lack or perceived lack of sufficient clinical evidence, including long-term data, supporting reliability, safety, clinical or economic benefits;

Previous report

lack of third-party coverage or adequate reimbursement, particularly from private payors;

Previous report

lack of experience with our products and concerns that we are relatively new to market; and

Previous report

time commitment and skill development that may be required to gain familiarity and proficiency with our products and implantation procedures.

Previous report

Stroke survivors interact with a diverse network of care providers, including stroke interventionalists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, occupational and physical therapists, stroke coordinators and nurses. Each of these providers can play a role in identifying and evaluating potential Vivistim Therapy candidates. We directly engage each of these stakeholders through our field-based commercial team, as well as through specialized events, summits, and conferences. As a result, our success depends, in large part, on effectively marketing Vivistim Therapy to these healthcare providers. We aim to educate these healthcare providers regarding the patient population that would benefit from Vivistim Therapy. Acceptance of Vivistim Therapy depends upon our education of healthcare providers as to the distinctive characteristics, clinical benefits, safety, durability and ease of use of Vivistim Therapy as compared to other therapy options and any future competitor VNS devices and upon our effective communication to healthcare providers of the proper use of Vivistim Therapy as well as our ability to provide effective and timely physician, therapist and patient support, including in connection with device education and addressing any technical, quality or other concerns. However, we cannot assure you that we will achieve broad market acceptance among these practitioners. Healthcare providers may be reluctant or unwilling to invest time to learn about the benefits of Vivistim Therapy, and to deviate from practices or therapy programs which they consider to be more established. If we are not able to effectively demonstrate that the use of Vivistim Therapy is beneficial in a broad range of patients, some healthcare providers may choose to utilize Vivistim Therapy on only a subset of their total eligible patient population or not at all, and adoption of our product will be limited and may not occur as rapidly as we anticipate or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

Most of our customers are hospitals, which may require us to enter into contracts regarding our devices. This process can be lengthy and time-consuming and may require extensive negotiations and management time with an uncertain degree of success. If we do not receive access to hospital facilities via these contracting processes or otherwise, or if we are unable to secure contracts or tender successful bids, we may not achieve our sales and revenues goals, and our results of operations may be harmed. Furthermore, we may expend significant effort in these time-consuming processes and still may not obtain a purchase contract from such hospitals.

Previous report

In addition, certain characteristics and features of Vivistim Therapy may prevent widespread market adoption. For example, some patients have reported pain, discomfort, bruising, swelling and infection after implantation as well as device related issues, such as low or high impedance (a measure of the lead’s resistance to current), which have led to explant or revision requests. These and any similar future explants or revisions could deter potential candidates from pursuing treatment or prompt physicians to favor alternative therapies. Even if physicians recommend Vivistim Therapy to patients, patients may not adopt it for a variety of reasons, including because they do not want to or are unable to undergo the implantation procedure (which involves typical risks associated with such procedures, including infection), do not perceive our device as safe, effective or cost-effective, prefer any future competitive devices or therapies (including as a result of competitive patient marketing) or because Vivistim Therapy is not reimbursed by their health insurance provider.

Previous report

Also, screening patients for Vivistim Therapy requires a clinical assessment of a patient’s motor impairments, which is typically done based on the Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) score. The FMA-UE assessment can take about 30 minutes or more to complete, which can be longer than other clinical assessments. Follow-up assessments take about the same time. Healthcare providers that use other clinical assessments that are shorter may not want to learn how to use the FMA-UE scoring system or invest the time in a longer assessment process generally, which may impact adoption of Vivistim Therapy.
