Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization
Description of Business
Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) designs, develops, and markets exoskeleton products that augment human strength, endurance and mobility. The primary end market for our exoskeleton technology is healthcare, where our technology primarily serves people with physical disabilities or impairments in both physical rehabilitation and mobility. The Company has marketed devices that (i) enable individuals with neurological conditions affecting gait, including acquired brain injury ("ABI") and multiple sclerosis ("MS"), and spinal cord injury ("SCI") to rehabilitate and to stand and walk in neurorehabilitation settings and, for patients with a SCI, for home and community use, (ii) assist individuals with a broad range of upper extremity impairments, and (iii) allow industrial workers to perform difficult repetitive work for extended periods. Founded in2005, the Company is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay area and listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “EKSO”.
Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar and share amounts included in these notes to the consolidated financial statements are in thousands.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of* December 31, 2024*, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $250,475. Largely as a result of significant research and development activities related to the development of the Company’s advanced technology and commercialization of such technology into its medical device business, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. During the year ended* December 31, 2024*, the Company used $9,846 of cash in its operations. Cash on hand as of* December 31, 2024* was $6,493.
As described in Note9. Notes Payable, net, borrowings under the Company’s secured term loan agreement with Banc of California are subject to a liquidity covenant requiring minimum cash on hand equivalent to the current outstanding principal balance, which is due in full in* August 2026.As of December 31, 2024*, $2,000 of cash must remain as restricted. After considering cash restrictions, effective unrestricted cash as of* December 31, 2024* was approximately $4,493.
Our expectation to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows in the future and the need for additional funding to support our planned operations raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period ofone year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. Management intends to raise funds throughone or more financings. However, due to several factors, including those outside management’s control, there can beno assurance that the Company will be able to complete such financings on acceptable terms or in amounts sufficient to continue operating the business under the operating plan. If we are unable to complete sufficient additional financings, management’s plans include delaying or abandoning certain product development projects, cost reduction efforts for our products, and refocused sales efforts to accelerate revenue growth above historical results. We have concluded the likelihood that our plan to successfully reduce expenses to align with our available cash, while reasonably possible, is less than probable. Accordingly, we have concluded that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least12 months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The consolidated financial statements donot include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
For the year ended* December 31, 2024,the Company reclassifiedone* of its assets presented in the Note6. Property and Equipment, netin the notes to our consolidated financial statements. One of the assets have been reclassified to "Machinery and equipment" from "Furniture and office equipment" as applicable. Accordingly, prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, in all material respects.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. For the Company, these estimates include, but arenot limited to, intangible and tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, the allocation of contract consideration to the individual performance obligations in our device sales arrangements, which impact revenue recognition and deferred revenue, the provision for credit losses on accounts receivable, the valuation of warrants and employee equity awards, future warranty costs, accounting for leases, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, valuation of inventory, realizability of deferred tax assets, and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency
The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries and equity investments, where the local currency is the functional currency, are translated from their respective functional currencies into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date and revenue and expense amounts are translated at average rates during the period, with resulting foreign currency translation adjustments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses from the re-measurement of balances denominated in currencies other than the entities' functional currencies, are recorded in other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
47
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
The Company's accumulated other comprehensive income consists of the accumulated net unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency translation adjustments. The change in accumulated other comprehensive income presented on the consolidated balance sheets for the year ended* December 31, 2024* and2023, is reflected in the table below net of tax:
| Accumulated Other | |
|---|---|
| Comprehensive | |
| Income | |
| Balance as of December 31, 2022 | $563 |
| Net unrealized loss on foreign currency translation | (407) |
| Balance as of December 31, 2023 | 156 |
| Net unrealized gain on foreign currency translation | 801 |
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | $957 |
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable.
The Company's cash balances held in domestic banks are deposited into accounts at various financial institutions with each balance under the*$250* Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limit. The Company has significant cash balances at foreign financial institutions that regularly exceed the applicable country cash deposit insurance limits of approximately*$100* at each of the Company'stwo foreign banks. Any foreign exchange loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable exist to the full extent of amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company doesnot require collateral from its customers to secure accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are derived from the sale of products shipped and services performed for customers primarily located in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia. Invoices are aged based on contractual terms with the customer.
Many of the sales contracts with customers outside of the U.S. are settled in a foreign currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Company doesnot enter into any foreign currency hedging agreements and is susceptible to gains and losses from foreign currency fluctuations. To date, the Company hasnot experienced significant gains or losses upon settling contracts denominated in a foreign currency.
The Company hadtwo customers with an accounts receivable balance totaling10% or more of the Company's total accounts receivable as of* December 31, 2024*, as compared withno customers as of* December 31, 2023*.
The Company hadone customer with sales of10% or more of the Company’s total revenue for the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023* (17% and 15%, respectively).
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company carries accounts receivable at invoiced amounts less an allowance (or "provision") for credit losses. The Company reviews accounts receivables for collectability and determines an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses on accounts receivables reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance based on historical bad debt expense, the aging of the accounts, known troubled accounts, customer payment history, and other currently available evidence. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within30 to90 days. Accounts receivables are charged off after all reasonable means to collect the full amount, including litigation where appropriate, have been exhausted. The Company hasnot experienced material losses related to accounts receivable during the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023*. The Company's accounts receivable balances, net of allowances, as of* December 31, 2024*,2023, and2022 were $7,238, $5,645 and $4,625, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using the standard cost method, which approximates actual cost on afirst-in,first-out basis. Materials from vendors are received and recorded as raw materials. Once the raw materials are incorporated in the fabrication of the product, the related value of the component is recorded as work in progress ("WIP"). Direct and indirect labor and applicable overhead costs are also allocated and recorded to WIP inventory. Finished goods are comprised of completed products that are ready for customer shipment. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of inventory on hand for potential excess amounts over sales and forecasted demand. Excess and obsolete inventories identified, if any, are recorded as an inventory impairment charge within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company's estimate of write-downs for excess and obsolete inventory is based on a detailed analysis which includes on-hand inventory and purchase commitments in excess of forecasted demand. Subsequent disposals of inventories are recorded as a reduction of inventory.
48
Inventories consisted of the following:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Raw materials | $3,551 | $4,298 |
| Work in progress | 177 | 290 |
| Finished goods | 843 | 462 |
| Inventories | $4,571 | $5,050 |
Leases
The Company records its leases in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic842, Leases. At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typicallynot readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset* may*be required for items, such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received.
Lease expense is recognized over the expected lease term on a straight-line basis. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, lease liabilities current and lease liabilities non-current.
Leases with an initial term of12 months or less arenot recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes the lease expense for such leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally ranging from three to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the related term of the lease. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred, while expenditures for refurbishments and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized.
The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value* may**not* be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the Company’s use or eventual disposition. If estimates of future undiscounted net cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets, the Company will record an impairment loss in the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value. If the assets are determined to be recoverable, but the useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the Company will depreciate or amortize the net book value of the assets over the newly determined remaining useful lives.None of the Company’s property and equipment were impaired as of* December 31, 2024and2023*. No impairment loss has been recognized in the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023*.
Goodwill
The Company records goodwill when the purchase price of an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired. The Company performs an annual impairment assessment, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, which includes evaluating qualitative and quantitative factors to assess the likelihood of an impairment of goodwill. Such indicators include, among others, material departures from projected sales volume, deteriorating gross margins, and uncertainties regarding continued commercialization as a result of changing business strategies.
The Company determinedno impairment existed for the years ended* December 31, 2024* and* December 31, 2023*.
49
Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets include developed technology, acquired intellectual property, and customer relationships, in the case of finite-lived intangibles, and trade names in the case of indefinite-lived intangibles. Finite-lived intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets* may**not* be recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or as deemed necessary if potential indicators of impairment exist.
The Company determinedno impairment existed for the year ended* December 31, 2024* and* December 31, 2023*.
Warrant Valuation
The Company generally accounts for warrants issued in connection with debt and equity financings as a component of equity, unless the warrants include a conditional obligation to issue a variable number of shares or there is a deemed possibility that it* may*need to settle the warrants in cash.
Where there is a possibility that the Company* may*have to settle warrants in cash, it estimates the fair value of the issued warrants as a liability at each reporting date and records changes in the estimated fair value as a non-cash gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair values of these warrants have been determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (the “Black-Scholes Model”) and the Binomial Lattice model (the "Lattice Model"). The Black-Scholes Model requires inputs, such as the expected volatility, expected term, exercise price, risk-free interest rate, and the value of the underlying security. The Lattice Model provides for assumptions regarding expected volatility, expected term, exercise price, risk-free interest rates, the value of the underlying security, and the probability of and likely timing of a specific event within the period to maturity. These values are subject to a significant degree of the Company's judgment. The Company’s common stock price represents a significant input that affects the valuation of the warrants.
Going Concern
The Company assesses its ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASC205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements–* Going Concern*. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records its revenue in accordance with ASC606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which when capable of being distinct, are accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue recognition is evaluated based on the followingfive steps: (i) identification of the contract with the customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.
For multiple-element arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are determined based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells its products or services. If a standalone selling price isnot directly observable, judgment is made to estimate the selling price based on market conditions and entity-specific factors including cost plus analyses, features and functionality of the product and/or services, the geography of the Company’s customers, and type of customer. Any discounts or other reductions to the transaction price are allocated proportionately to all performance obligations within the multiple-element arrangement. The Company periodically validates the stand-alone selling price for performance obligations by evaluating whether changes in the key assumptions used to determine the stand-alone selling prices will have a significant effect on the allocation of transaction price between multiple performance obligations.
The Company generally doesnot grant a right of return for its products. The Company exercised judgement to determine that a product return reserve wasnot required as of* December 31, 2024and2023,* as historical returns activity havenot been material and the Company's expectations and estimates regarding future returns havenot changed.
50
Research and Development
Research and development costs consist of costs incurred for internal research and development activities. These costs primarily include salaries and other personnel-related expenses, contractor fees, prototype materials, facility costs, supplies, and depreciation of equipment associated with the design and development of new products prior to the establishment of their technological feasibility. Such costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, income tax expense or benefit is recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and for deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for any income tax contingencies in accordance with accounting guidance for income taxes. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of currently enacted tax laws. The effects of any future changes in tax laws or rates havenot been considered.
For the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements included herein, the Company estimates its income taxes and tax contingencies in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates prior to the completion and filing of its tax returns. This process involves estimating actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in net deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company must then assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be realizable, and to the extent they believe that realizability isnot likely, the Company must establish a valuation allowance. In assessing the need for any additional valuation allowance, the Company considers all the evidence available to it, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, legislative developments, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income, and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company measures stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units ("PSUs") made to employees and directors based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant and recognizes the value on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards.
The Company records compensation expense for service-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. For awards with performance-based conditions, at the point that it becomes probable that the performance conditions will be met, the Company records a cumulative catch-up of the expense from the grant date to the current date, and then amortizes the remainder of the expense over the remaining service period. Management evaluates when the achievement of a performance-based condition is probable based on the expected satisfaction of the performance conditions as of the reporting date. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The Company measures stock-based compensation expense for stock options granted to employees and directors based on the estimated fair value of the award on the date of grant and recognizes the fair value on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Model, which is affected by the Company’s stock price and assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These variables include, but arenot limited to, the Company’s stock price, volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. Due to the lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term, the Company adopted the simplified method of estimating the expected term pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic14. On this basis, the Company estimated the expected term of options granted by taking the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option.
The Company has, from time to time, modified the terms of its stock options and RSUs to certain employees and directors. The Company accounts for the incremental compensation cost, which is the excess of the fair value of the modified award on the date of modification over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification, as an expense for vested awards or over the remaining service (vesting) period for unvested awards.
51
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in2024
In* November 2023,the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic280*): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU2023-07"). ASU2023-07 looks to provide improvements to the segment disclosure by providing users with more decision-useful information about reportable segments in a public entity, which requires expanded annual and interim disclosures for significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. Public entities that have a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements. ASU2023-07 is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements with an effective date for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after* December 15, 2023,and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.This standard is applicable to the Company due to the single reportable segment requirement. The Company has included all required disclosures within its Form10*-K for the year ended* December 31, 2024.As this standard only impacts disclosures, it didnot* have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. For additional information, refer to Note16. Segment Disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In* December 2023,the FASB issued ASUNo.* 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU2023-09"), to enhance income tax reporting disclosures and require disclosure of specific categories in the tabular rate reconciliation. ASU2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after* December 15, 2024,on a prospective basis. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company isnot* early adopting ASU2023-09 and is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company's related consolidated disclosures.
In* November 2024,the FASB issued ASUNo.* 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU2024-03”), which requires disclosure about the types of costs and expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the income statement. The new disclosure requirements are effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after* December 15, 2026,and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027,*with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its related consolidated disclosures.
3. Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed, when applicable, using the weighted average number of shares of common stock, adjusted to include conversion of "in-the-money" stock options and warrants for common stock and release of common stock in connection with restricted stock units during the period, net of tax as follows:
| Years ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Numerator | ||
| Adjusted net loss used for dilution calculation | $(11,330) | $(15,198) |
| Denominator | ||
| Weighted-average number of shares outstanding(1) | 20,161 | 13,867 |
| Effect of potential dilutive shares | — | — |
| Dilutive weighted-average number of shares outstanding | 20,161 | 13,867 |
| Net loss per share, basic and diluted | $(0.56) | $(1.10) |
(1) Includes the weighted average effect of the Pre-Funded Warrant, the exercise of which requires nominal consideration for the delivery of the shares of common stock.
52
The following table sets forth potential shares of common stock that arenot included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because to do so would be anti-dilutive as of the end of each period presented:
| Years ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Options to purchase common stock | 183 | 252 |
| Restricted stock units | 1,025 | 1,305 |
| Warrants for common stock(1) | 12,995 | 1,240 |
| Total common stock equivalents | 14,203 | 2,797 |
(1) Represents the number of shares of common stock underlying our outstanding warrants as of such dates, except for the 2,900 shares of common stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrant issued during the year ended* December 31, 2024.The weighted average number of common shares outstanding, used in the basic and diluted Net loss per share as of December 31, 2024,includes the weighted average effect of the Pre-Funded Warrant issued in connection with the September 2024firm commitment underwritten public offering, the exercise of which requires nominal consideration for the delivery of the shares of common stock. Refer to Note12.* Capitalization and Equity Structure — Warrants for additional information regarding the warrants.

4. Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Three levels of inputs, of which thefirst two are considered observable and the last unobservable,* may*be used to measure fair value which are the following:
| • | Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company considers a market to be active when transactions for the asset occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
| • | Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| • | Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The valuation of Level 3 investments requires the use of significant management judgments or estimation. |
The Company’s fair value hierarchies for its financial assets and liabilities which require fair value measurement on a recurring basis are as follows:
| Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liabilities | ||||
| Warrant liabilities | $1 | $— | $— | $1 |
| Liabilities | ||||
| Warrant liabilities | $366 | $— | $— | $366 |
During the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023*, there wereno transfers between Level1, Level2, or Level3 assets or liabilities reported at fair value on a recurring basis and the valuation techniques used didnot change compared to the Company’s established practice.
The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of Company’s Level3 financial liabilities during the years ended* December 31, 2024* and2023, which were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| Warrant | |
|---|---|
| Liability | |
| Balance as of December 31, 2022 | $233 |
| Loss on revaluation of warrants issued in 2021, June 2020, December 2019, and May 2019 equity financings | 133 |
| Balance as of December 31, 2023 | $366 |
| Gain on revaluation of warrants issued in 2021, June 2020, December 2019, and May 2019 equity financings | $(474) |
| Loss on modification of warrant | 109 |
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | $1 |
See Note12 in the notes to consolidated financial statements under the captionCapitalization and Equity Structure–* Warrants*for a description of the warrants accounted for as a liability, including the method and inputs used to estimate their fair value.

5. Revenue
The Company’s revenue is primarily generated through the sale and subscription of the EksoNR, Ekso Indego Therapy, and Ekso Indego Personal devices, along with the sale of support and maintenance contracts. Revenue from device product sales is recognized at the point in time when control of the product transfers to the customer. Transfer of control generally occurs upon shipment from the Company’s facility for sales of these devices. Support and maintenance contracts extend coverage beyond the Company’s standard warranty agreements ranging from 12 to 48 months. Revenue is recognized evenly over the term of the contracts. Revenue from medical device subscriptions is recognized evenly over the contract term, typically over24 months.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue is comprised mainly of unearned revenue related to extended support and maintenance contracts, but also includes other offerings for which the Company has been paid in advance and earns revenue when the Company transfers control of the product or service.
Deferred revenue consisted of the following:
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Deferred extended maintenance and support | $3,669 | $3,993 |
| Deferred device and advances | 207 | 169 |
| Total deferred revenues | 3,876 | 4,162 |
| Less current portion | (1,956) | (1,993) |
| Deferred revenues, non-current | $1,920 | $2,169 |
On* September 25, 2023,*the Company entered into a warranty claim lump-sum agreement with Parker Hannifin Corporation ("Parker"), pursuant to which, among other things, Parker paid the Company $700 for the release of Parker's obligation to reimburse the Company for its costs and expenses associated with servicing certain product warranty obligations. The Company recorded the lump sum payment as deferred revenue and recognizes revenue as services are performed.
Deferred revenue activity consisted of the following for the years ended* December 31, 2024* and* December 31, 2023*:
| Year Ended December 31, 2024 | Year Ended December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Beginning balance | $4,162 | $2,153 |
| Deferral of revenue | 3,331 | 4,727 |
| Recognition of deferred revenue | (3,617) | (2,718) |
| Ending balance | $3,876 | $4,162 |
The Company expects to recognize approximately $1,956 of the deferred revenue during2025, $1,023 in2026, and $897 thereafter.
In addition to deferred revenue, the Company has a non-cancellable backlog of $3,364, which includes customer orders received butnot fulfilled and other ancillary products and services of $2,951, expected to be recognized across2025 and2026, and contracts for subscription units of $413, expected to be recognized across2025 and2026.

9. Notes Payable, net
BoC Term Loan
In* August 2020,the Company entered into a loan agreement (the "BoC Loan Agreement") with Pacific Western Bank, which merged with the Banc of California (the "Lender") in2024.* The Company received a loan in the principal amount of $2,000 (the "BoC Term Loan") that bore interest on the outstanding daily balance at a rate equal to the greater of: (a)0.50% above the variable rate of interest announced by the Lender as its “prime rate” then in effect; or (b)4.50%. The BoC Loan Agreement created afirst priority security interest with respect to substantially all assets of the Company, including proceeds of intellectual property, but expressly excluding intellectual property itself.
The Company was required to pay accrued interest on the current loan on the13th day of each month through and including* August 13, 2023,at which time the unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest was due and payable in full. On August 17, 2023,the Company entered into an amendment to the BoC Loan Agreement, extending the maturity date to August 13, 2026with interest-only payments until such date, having daily borrowings bearing interest at a variable annual rate equal to the greater of the Lender's "prime rate" then in effect and 4.50%, and caused the Company to maintain all of its depository, operating, and investment accounts with the Lender. The Company determined this amendment constituted a loan modification under ASC470,* and used the updated imputed interest rate to recalculate debt discounts, debt issuance costs and final payment to be amortized over the new term.
The BoC Loan Agreement contains a liquidity covenant, which requires that the Company maintain cash in accounts of the Lender or subject to control agreements in favor of the Lender in an amount equal to at least the outstanding balance of the BoC Term Loan, which was $2,000 as of* December 31, 2024*. It also contains a primary depository covenant, which restricts the Company from having more than $1,000 held in subsidiary accounts outside of the United States. As of* December 31, 2024*, the Company was compliant with all covenants.
The interest rate of the BoC Term Loan is subject to increase in the event of late payment and after occurrence of and during the continuation of an event of default. The Company* may*elect to prepay the BoC Term Loan at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium.

The debt issuance costs and debt discounts combined with the stated interest resulted in an effective interest rate of 8.55% and 8.81% for the years ended* December 31, 2024* and2023, respectively. The debt issuance costs and debt discounts are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the loan.

The Promissory Note, upon the occurrence of an event of default, allows for the levying of interest equal to the lesser of (a)5% per annum and (b) the maximum interest rate permitted under applicable law on the then entire outstanding principal balance, and also for the acceleration of all outstanding liabilities and obligations, making them immediately payable. Under the terms of the Promissory Note, the following occurrences constitute a default, and could, upon written notice or declaration by Parker, allow for the levying of interest and or the acceleration of principal outstanding: (i) failure to pay any amount of the principal when due and payable, (ii) the dissolution of the Company (including the declaration of bankruptcy), and (iii) the acquisition of the Company by another entity or the sale of substantially all of its assets to another entity.

14. Income Taxes
The domestic and foreign components of pre-tax loss for the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023* were as follows:
| Years Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Domestic | $(11,576) | $(13,521) |
| Foreign | 246 | (1,677) |
| Loss before income taxes | $(11,330) | $(15,198) |
The Company hadno current or deferred federal and state income tax expense or benefit for the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023* because the Company generated net operating losses, and currently management doesnot believe it is more likely thannot that the net operating losses will be realized. The Company’s non-U.S. tax obligation is primarily for business activities conducted through Germany and Singapore for which taxes were included in other expenses, net for the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023,* and determined to be immaterial, and accordingly, such amounts were excluded from the following tables.
Income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023* differed from the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% to pretax loss as a result of the following:
| Years Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Federal tax at statutory rate | 21.0% | 21.0% |
| State tax, net of federal tax effect | — | — |
| Research and development credit | (0.1) | 1.1 |
| Change in valuation allowance | (13.5) | (12.5) |
| Unrealized gain on warrant | 0.7 | (0.2) |
| Stock-based compensation | (4.7) | (1.7) |
| Other | (2.8) | (0.7) |
| Foreign | (0.6) | (7.0) |
| Total tax expense (benefit) | —% | —% |

The tax effects of temporary differences and related deferred tax assets and liabilities as of* December 31, 2024and2023* were as follows:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Deferred tax assets: | ||
| Depreciation and other | $119 | $136 |
| Net operating loss carryforwards | 54,001 | 52,448 |
| Research and development tax credits | 2,210 | 2,219 |
| Accruals and reserves | 235 | 311 |
| Capitalized research and development costs | 1,817 | 1,422 |
| Deferred revenue | 400 | 220 |
| Stock compensation expense | 1,028 | 1,493 |
| Lease assets | 154 | 178 |
| Other | 48 | 50 |
| Deferred tax liabilities: | ||
| Lease liabilities | (133) | (152) |
| Prepaid expenses | (54) | (56) |
| Less: Valuation allowance | (59,825) | (58,269) |
| Net deferred tax asset (liability) | $— | $— |
The Company’s accounting for deferred taxes involves the evaluation of a number of factors concerning the realizability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets. The Company primarily considered such factors as the Company’s history of operating losses, the nature of the Company’s deferred tax assets, and the timing, likelihood and amount, if any, of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences and carryforwards become deductible. The Company doesnot believe that it is more likely thannot that the deferred tax assets will be realized; accordingly, a full valuation allowance was established andno deferred tax assets were shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The valuation allowance increased by $1,556 and $4,269 in the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023,* respectively.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of2017 ("TCJA") made a significant change to Section174 that went into effect for taxable years beginning after* December 31, 2021.The change eliminated the ability to currently deduct research and development costs. Instead, these costs must be capitalized and amortized. As a result, the Company capitalized research and development costs of $3.9 million and $4.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024and2023,* respectively.
As of* December 31, 2024,the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $203,860. The federal net operating loss carryforwards of $120,792 generated before January 1, 2018will begin to expire in2027,* and $83,068 will carryforward indefinitely but are subject to the80% taxable income limitation. The Company also had federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of $2,353 that will expire beginning in2031, ifnot utilized.
70
As of* December 31, 2024,the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $133,371, which will begin to expire in2025.* The Company also had state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $752, which haveno expiration.
As of* December 31, 2024,the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $12,552. The foreign net operating loss carryforwards donot* expire.
Utilization of the Company’s net operating losses and credit carryforwards* maybe subject to annual limitations in the event of a Section382* ownership change. Such future limitations could result in the expiration of net operating losses and credit carryforwards before utilization as a result of such an ownership change.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended* December 31, 2024and2023,* were as follows:
| Years Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Beginning balances as of January 1, 2024 and 2023 | $1,894 | $716 |
| (Decrease) increase of unrecognized tax benefits taken in prior years | (58) | 9 |
| Increase of unrecognized tax benefits related to current year | — | 1,169 |
| Ending balances as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 | $1,836 | $1,894 |
If the Company is able to recognize these uncertain tax positions, the unrecognized tax benefits wouldnot impact the effective tax rate if the Company applies a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets, as provided in the Company’s current policy.
The Company hadnot incurred any material tax interest or penalties as of* December 31, 2024.The Company doesnot* anticipate any significant change within12 months of this reporting date of its uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various state jurisdictions, Germany, and Singapore. There areno ongoing examinations by taxing authorities at this time. The Company’s tax years 2007 through2024 will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities forthree andfour years, respectively, from the date of utilization of any net operating loss credits. The Company’s 2019 to2024 tax years will remain open for examination by the German tax authority forfour years from the end of the year in which the applicable return was filed. The Company’s 2020 to2024 tax years will remain open for examination by the Singapore tax authority forfour years from the date of the applicable assessment.

16. Segment Disclosures
Operating segments are defined as components of a public entity for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's CODM is its chief executive officer who reviews financial information, annual operating plans, and long-range forecasts, presented on a consolidated basis, for purposes of making operating decisions, evaluating financial performance, and allocating resources. The Company is managed as a single operating segment that primarily serves people with physical disabilities or impairments in both physical rehabilitation and mobility in the healthcare market. Managing the Company's business activities on a consolidated basis allows the Company to benefit from the value its healthcare products provide across the care continuum.
The Company’s CODM uses net loss as presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss to measure segment loss and assesses financial performance against expectations for the Company's single reportable segment to decide how to allocate resources. Additionally, the CODM reviews and uses segment expenses included in net loss to manage the Company’s operations and assess operating performance. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM are those presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. These significant segment expenses include cost of revenue, sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses. Other segment items that are presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss include interest expense, net, gain (loss) on revaluation of warrant liabilities, loss on modification of warrant, unrealized (loss) gain on foreign exchange and other expense, net. The Company’s entity-wide disclosures, including the breakout of revenue by major source and geographies, are included in Note5.** Revenue.
