Notes to Financial Statements

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Neuronetics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a commercial stage medical technology company focused on designing, developing and marketing products that improve the quality of life for patients who suffer from neurohealth disorders. The Company’s first commercial product, the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, is a non-invasive and non-systemic office-based treatment that uses transcranial magnetic stimulation, (“TMS”), to create a pulsed, MRI-strength magnetic field that induces electrical currents designed to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood. The system was cleared in 2008 by the FDA to treat adult patients with MDD who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current MDD episode. The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is also available in other parts of the world, including Japan, where it is listed under Japan’s national health insurance. The Company intends to continue to pursue development of its NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System for additional indications.

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $59.7 million and an accumulated deficit of $376.1 million. The Company incurred negative cash flows from operating activities of $32.0 million, $30.7 million and $28.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception, and management anticipates that its operating losses will continue in the near term as the Company continues to invest in sales and marketing and product development activities. The Company’s primary sources of capital to date have been from its initial public offering (“IPO”), private placements of its convertible preferred securities, borrowings under its credit facility, proceeds from its secondary public offering of common stock, and revenues from sales of its products. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $60.0 million of borrowings outstanding under its credit facility, which matures in March 2028. Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023 and anticipated revenues from sales of our products are sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements.

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”), promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC, requires the use of estimates and assumptions, based on judgments considered reasonable, which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable when made, they are based upon information available at the time they are made. Management evaluates the estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and, if necessary, makes adjustments. Due to the risks and uncertainties involved in the Company’s business and evolving market conditions and given the subjective element of the estimates and assumptions made, actual results may differ from estimated results.

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s cash is held on deposit in demand accounts at large financial institutions in amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance coverage limit of $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company limits its credit risk associated with cash equivalents by placing investments in highly-rated money market funds. The Company limits its credit risk with respect to accounts receivable by performing credit evaluations when deemed necessary, but it does not require collateral to secure amounts owed by its customers.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company adopted ASC Topic 326,Financial Instruments-Credit losses on January 1, 2023, see note 6 Accounts Receivable for further discussion. The Company monitors accounts receivable and long-term notes receivable and estimates the allowance for lifetime expected credit losses. Estimates of expected credit losses are based on historical collection experience and other factors, including those related to current market conditions and events.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842,Leases (“Topic 842”). The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. A lease exists when a contract conveys to the customer the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The definition of a lease embodies two conditions: (1) there is an identified asset in the contract that is land or a depreciable asset (i.e., property, plant, and equipment), and (2) the customer has the right to control the use of the identified asset.

The Company leases warehouse, office space, a training facility and office equipment pursuant to net operating leases. Operating leases where the Company is the lessor are included in revenue on the Statements of Operations.

From time to time the Company enters into sales-type lease arrangements that include a lessee obligation to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term, automatic transfer of ownership of the leased equipment at the end of the lease, a lessee purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised, or provides for minimum lease payments with a present value equal to or exceeding substantially all of the fair value of the underlying leased equipment at the date of lease inception. Sales-type leases where the Company is the lessor are included in revenue on the Statements of Operations.

Operating leases where the Company is the lessee are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on the Balance Sheets. The lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date.

The Company uses the following inputs in its lease calculations under Topic 842: (1) the discount rate the Company uses to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments.

(1)Topic 842 requires a lessor to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease and a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As the rate implicit in the Company’s lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable.
(2)The lease term for all leases includes the noncancelable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a lessee option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor.
(3)Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease asset or liability comprise the following: fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), and the exercise price of a lessee option to purchase the underlying asset if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.

For operating leases where the Company is the lessor, the Company continues recognizing the underlying asset and depreciating it over its estimated useful life. Lease income from lessees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant lease agreement in revenue. Operating leases for equipment with fixed rentals and step rentals are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, assuming no renewals, in revenue. Revenue is not recognized when collection is not reasonably assured. When collectability is not reasonably assured, the customer is placed on non-accrual status and revenue is recognized when cash payments are received.

The lease asset for sales-type leases is initially measured as the total net investment in the lease, which comprises the initial amount of the lease receivable plus the deferred initial direct costs.

The lease asset for sales-type leases is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the net investment in the lease which is increased by interest income and reduced by lease payments collected. The lease payments are segregated into principal and interest components similar to a loan. Equipment leasing revenues are recognized on an effective interest method over the lease term. The principal component of the lease payment is reflected as a reduction to the net investment in the lease.

For operating leases where the Company is the lessee, the right-of-use (“ROU”), asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. The ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Lease assets for sales-type leases where the Company is the lessor and ROU assets for operating leases where the Company is the lessee are periodically reduced by impairment losses. The Company uses the loans impairment guidance in ASC Subtopic 330-10, Receivables, and the long-lived assets impairment guidance in ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment – Overall, to determine whether a lease asset or a ROU asset, respectively, is impaired, and if so, the amount of the impairment loss to recognize. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company didnot recognize any impairment losses. The

Company recognized $0.1 million in impairment losses which is included within sales and marketing expense on the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company monitors for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of its leases. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding ROU asset unless doing so would reduce the carrying amount of the ROU asset to an amount less than zero. In that case, the amount of the adjustment that would result in a negative ROU asset balance is recorded in profit or loss.

The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for all short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with the short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments associated with these leases are recognized and presented in the same manner as for all other leases. The Company has elected to exclude sales and other similar taxes from lease payments in arrangements where the Company is a lessor.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost being determined on a first in, first out basis. The Company’s inventory is primarily comprised of finished goods and work-in-process. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a $1.9 million inventory impairment within cost of revenue on the Statements of Operations for a specialized component part secured for discontinued NeuroStar Advanced Therapy Systems to which such cost exceeds net realizable value.

Property and Equipment and Capitalized Software

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and costs of improvements and renewals are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are recognized using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The Company uses an estimated useful life ofthree years for computers and software, five years for laboratory, auto and office equipment, six years for devices in the rental agreement program and the lesser offive years or the remaining life of the underlying facility lease for leasehold improvements.

Software development costs relating to assets to be sold in the normal course of business are included in research and development and are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility is established. After technological feasibility is established, software development costs are capitalized. The Company uses an estimated useful life oftwo years for capitalized software and amortizes these costs beginning at the product release.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment testing requires management to estimate the future net undiscounted cash flows of an asset using assumptions believed to be reasonable. Actual cash flows may differ from the estimates used in the impairment testing. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the Company recognizes an impairment loss when and to the extent that the estimated fair value of an asset is less than its carrying value. The Company hasnot recorded any impairment of its long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable are reported on the Company’s Balance Sheet at amortized cost basis. The Company recognizes interest income within other income, net within the Statements of Operations.

Notes receivables are periodically reviewed to determine whether a note receivable is impaired, and if so, the amount of the impairment loss to recognize. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there wereno impairment charges. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $0.1 million in impairment charges which is included within sales and marketing expense on the Statements of Operations.

Deferred Debt Issuance Costs

The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred to obtain debt financing and amortizes these costs to interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. These costs are recorded as a debt discount and are netted against the related debt on the Company’s Balance Sheets.

Revenue Recognition

ASC Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) is principles-based and provides a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues.

Contract Formation

The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when there is a legally enforceable contract between the Company and the customer, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of the contract consideration is probable. For all sales, the Company uses either a signed agreement or a binding purchase order as evidence of an arrangement.

Performance Obligations

The unit of account for Topic 606 is the performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company’s contracts are comprised of the following performance obligations:

(1)The NeuroStar TMS Therapy System (the “System”) which includes a chair, an electromagnet coil, a monitoring console and accessories. The various components are inputs that function together to deliver a combined output and together form one performance obligation (a NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System). Revenues from the sale of the System are satisfied at the point-in-time when shipped from our premises.
(2)NeuroStar Treatment Session (the “Treatment Session”) is a single use consumable that is delivered via an encrypted activation code and is required in order for a clinician to perform TMS therapy. Revenues from the sale of the Treatment Sessions are satisfied at the point-in-time when delivered to the customer. The Company determined that sales of Treatment Sessions are not part of the enforceable rights and obligations of the System sales, except when sold with System sales.
(3)Separately priced extended warranties and when-and-if-available upgrade rights are considered service-type warranties. Warranty services are considered stand-ready obligations satisfied over-time and recognized using a straight-line time-based measurement toward completion.
(4)The System clinical and reimbursement training enable the clinician to provide patient treatment. The trainings are not required in order to operate the System but are required in order to receive a certification from the Company and accordingly are not essential to the functionality of other

performance obligations. Training services are recognized at a point-in-time when training is complete, typically simultaneous to or near the time of delivery of the System.

In addition, the Company has determined that there are various perfunctory deliverables such as installation of the System, the technical support hotline and marketing materials which the Company does not separately recognize as revenue nor does the Company accrue the estimated cost of providing these goods and services because they are not material. The Company provides a one-year warranty on all new System sales which were determined to be assurance-type warranties and thus not considered a separate performance obligation. The Company accrues the cost of providing these warranties.

There isno right of return or refund for any of the Company’s products or services and the Company has elected to treat shipping and handling as a fulfillment activity and expenses the costs as incurred.

Sales Type Lease

The System is typically purchased but the Company does offer certain customers the option to lease instead. The Company accounts for these leases are typically accounted for as a sales-type lease which results in the derecognition of the underlying asset, the recognition of profit or loss on the sale, and the recognition of an investment in sales-type lease. The investment is periodically increased for interest earned and reduced as lease payments are received.

Distribution Agreement

The Company has an exclusive distribution agreement that began in October 2017 with a foreign entity for a period of 7 ½ years with two 2 year renewal options. As consideration for the right to be the sole distributor of the Company’s products and use of the Company’s intellectual property in the foreign territory, the distributor is required to make certain fixed milestone payments upon contract execution and regulatory approval. In addition, the distributor is required to make variable milestone payments depending upon regulatory reimbursement rates. Furthermore, the distributor is required to make certain minimum purchases based upon sales history and forecasts subject to a ceiling and floor. The Company assessed the potential performance obligations in this contract and concluded that the contract contained the following performance obligations:

●Exclusive distribution and intellectual property license
●NeuroStar TMS Therapy System
●NeuroStar Treatment Session

The distribution agreement contains pricing for the Company’s products and services. The contractual purchase prices were determined to be at the standalone selling prices based on the expected sales volumes of this customer type and thus the Company concluded that this agreement did not contain a separate performance obligation for the material right to discounted Systems and Treatments Sessions. The Company allocated the transaction price through a combination of the cost plus a margin approach and the residual method. For the System and Treatment Sessions the Company maximized the use of observable inputs by beginning with average historical contractual selling prices and adjusting on a consistent and rational basis for pricing trends, the customer type and expected sales volumes and the Company’s changing cost and margins. Since it was determined that the contractual selling prices for the Company’s products and services in the distribution agreement were at the standalone selling prices, the residual consideration which is made up of the fixed and variable milestone payments was allocated to the exclusive distribution and intellectual property license. The exclusive distribution and intellectual property rights were determined to be symbolic IP and thus recognized over time. The System and Treatment Sessions were determined to be performance obligations recognized at a point-in-time when delivered to the distributor.

Contract Estimates

Accounting for the Company’s contracts involves the use of significant judgments and estimates including determining the separate performance obligations, allocating the transaction price to the different performance obligations and determining the method to measure the entity’s performance toward satisfaction of performance obligations that most faithfully depicts when control is transferred to the customer. The Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price for each distinct good or service in the contract. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs by beginning with average historical contractual selling prices and adjusting as necessary and on a consistent and rational basis for other inputs such as pricing trends, customer types, volumes and changing cost and margins.

Contract Balances

Payment terms typically require payment upon shipment of the System and additional payments as access codes are delivered, which can span several years after the System is first delivered and installed. The timing of revenue recognition compared to billings and cash collections typically results in accounts receivable. However, sometimes customer advances and deposits might be required for certain customers and are recorded as contract liabilities. Changes in the contract asset and liability balances during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were not materially impacted by any other factors.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company expects to recognize approximately the following percentages of deferred revenue by year:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​Revenue
Year: · ​ · Recognition
202485%
202513%
20262%
2027—%
2028—%
Total100%

Revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year was $2.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and primarily represented revenue earned from separately priced extended warranties, rent-to-own revenue, milestone revenue, and clinical training.

Customers

Significant customers are those which represent more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, one customer accounted for 15%,17% and 20%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue.

Accounts receivable outstanding related to the customer was $1.9 million and $5.2 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Notes receivable outstanding related to the customer was $5.2 million and $0 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Research and development activities are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in obtaining technology licenses are charged immediately to research and development expense if the technology licensed has not reached technological feasibility and has no alternative future uses.

Share-based Compensation

The Company recognizes the grant-date fair value of share-based awards issued as compensation as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The fair value of restricted stock units is estimated at the time of grant, based on the grant date fair value of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) is estimated at the time of grant and is determined using a risk neutral Monte Carlo simulation valuation model, which requires the use of inputs and assumptions such as the fair value of the underlying common stock, risk free interest rate, and expected volatility. The PRSUs generally vest based on appreciation of the Company’s common stock to a certain price as determined by the Company’s board of directors measured using a trailing 30-day “volume-weighted” average price of a share of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the time of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the use of inputs and assumptions such as the fair value of the underlying common stock, exercise price of the option, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility and dividend yield.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to the extent it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Unrecognized income tax benefits represent income tax positions taken on income tax returns that have not been recognized in the financial statements. The Company recognizes the benefit of an income tax position only if it is more likely than not (greater than 50%) that the tax position will be sustained upon tax examination, based solely on the technical merits of the tax position. Otherwise, no benefit is recognized. The tax benefits recognized are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company accrues interest and related penalties are classified as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Company does not anticipate significant changes in the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits over the next year.

  1. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted by the Company

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07,Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires public companies to disclose for each reportable segment the significant expense categories and amounts for such expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This ASU will be effective for our annual period ended December 31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the impact on its disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issuedASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires public business entities to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. This ASU will be effective for our annual period ended December 31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of ASU 2023-09 on its disclosures.

Other than the items noted above, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective or adopted in the current year that we believe have a material impact, or potential material impact, to our financial statements.

  1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, and accounts payable on the Company’s Balance Sheets approximated their fair values as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of the Company’s current credit facility approximated its fair value as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 due to its variable interest rate. The carrying value of the Company’s notes receivable approximated its fair value as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 due to its variable interest rate.

Certain of the Company’s financial instruments are measured at fair value using a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs are quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3:Inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company’s own assumptions, based on the best information available, including the Company’s own data.

The following tables set forth the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

  1. PREPAID COMMISSION EXPENSE

The Company pays a commission on both NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System sales and Treatment Session sales. Since the commission paid for NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System sales is not commensurate with the commission paid for Treatment Sessions, the Company capitalizes commission expense associated with NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System commissions paid that is incremental to specifically anticipated future Treatment Session orders. In developing this estimate, the Company considered its historical Treatment Session sales and customer retention rates, as well as technology development life cycles and other industry factors. These costs are periodically reviewed for impairment.

NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System commissions are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over aseven year period equal to the average customer term, which the Company deems to be the expected period of benefit for these costs.

On the Company’s Balance Sheets, the current portion of capitalized contract costs is represented by the current portion of prepaid commission expense, while the long-term portion is included in prepaid commission expense. Amortization expense was $2.3 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and presented within sales and marketing in the Statements of Operations.

Solar Credit Facility

Solar Facility Fourth and Fifth Amendments

On September 29, 2023, the Company entered into the Solar Fifth Amendment. The Solar Fifth Amendment allowed the Company to draw on the$22.5 million Term C Loan portion of the Solar Facility and revise the required testing levels of the net product revenue and minimum liquidity covenants for certain testing periods. On October 3, 2023, the Company borrowed an aggregate amount of$22.5 million under the Term C Loan portion of the Solar Facility.

On March 29, 2023, the Company entered into a fourth amendment (the “Solar Fourth Amendment”) to Solar Facility.

The Solar Fourth Amendment increased the borrowings by $2.5 million, extended the interest only period from March 2023 to March 2026 and extended the maturity date from February 2025 to March 2028. In addition the amendment changed the basis of the interest expense from LIBOR to SOFR.

The Solar Facility is $60.0 million and consists ofthree tranches of term loans, a “Term A Loan” in an aggregate amount of $35.0 million, a “Term B Loan” in an aggregate amount of $2.5 million, and a “Term C Facility” (collectively with the Term A Loan and Term B Loan, the “Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $22.5 million. The Term A Loan was fully drawn prior to the effectiveness of the Solar Fourth Amendment. On March 29, 2023, the Company borrowed an amount of $2.5 million under the Term B Loan.

On October 3, 2023, the Company borrowed an amount of $22.5 million under the Term C Facility (the “Term C Funding Date”). The maturity date of the Loans is March 29, 2028. Prior to the effectiveness of the Solar Fourth Amendment, the maturity date of the Term A Loan was February 28, 2025.

The Loans accrue interest from the date of borrowing through the date of repayment at a floating per annum rate of interest, which resets monthly and is equal to the greater of 5.65% plus (a)3.95% or (b) daily simple SOFR for a term of one month. Only interest is required to be paid on the Loans until March 1, 2026. Prior to the effectiveness of the Solar Fourth Amendment, the interest only period with respect to the Term A Loan expired on March 1, 2023. Commencing April 1, 2026, the Company will be required to make monthly payments of principal and interest on the Loans.

In addition to the principal and interest payments due under the Solar Facility, the Company is required to pay a final payment fee to Solar upon the earlier of prepayment, acceleration or the maturity date of the Loans equal to 4.95% of the principal amount of the term loans actually funded. If the Company prepays the Loans prior to their respective scheduled maturities, the Company will also be required to pay prepayment fees to Solar equal to 3% of the principal amount of such term loan then-prepaid if prepaid on or before the first anniversary of the Term C Funding Date,2% of the principal amount of such term loan then-prepaid if prepaid

after the first anniversary and on or before the second anniversary of the Term C Funding Date, or 1% of the principal amount of such term loan then-prepaid if prepaid after the second anniversary of the Term C Funding Date.

The Company is also required to pay Solar an exit fee upon the occurrence of (a) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, (b) any transaction that results in a person obtaining control over the Company, (c) the Company achieving $100 million in trailing twelve-month net product revenue or (d) the Company achieving $125 million in trailing twelve-month net product revenue. The exit fee for liquidation, dissolution, winding up or change of control of the Company is equal to 2% of the principal amount of the term loans actually funded. The exit fee for achieving either $100 million or $125 million in trailing twelve-month net product revenue is equal to 1% of the principal amount of the term loans actually funded or, if both net product revenue milestones are achieved,2% of the principal amount of the term loans actually funded. The exit fee is capped at 2% of the principal amount of the term loans actually funded.

On December 31, 2023, January 31, 2024 and February 29, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with its minimum net product revenue covenant under the Solar Facility. Subsequently, the Company was granted a waiver from Solar for the covenant violations that occurred. The amount of borrowings affected by this non compliance was $60 million, see “Note 22. Subsequent Event” for further discussion on the waiver.

  1. LOSS PER SHARE

The Company’s basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company’s restricted stock awards (non-vested shares) are issued and outstanding at the time of grant but are excluded from the Company’s computation of weighted-average shares outstanding in the determination of basic loss per share until vesting occurs.

A net loss cannot be diluted, so when the Company is in a net loss position, basic and diluted loss per common share are the same. If in the future the Company achieves profitability, the denominator of a diluted earnings per common share calculation will include both the weighted-average number of shares outstanding and the number of common stock equivalents, if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents would be dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include warrants, stock options, non-vested restricted stock awards and non-vested performance restricted stock units using the treasury stock method, along with the effect, if any, from the potential conversion of outstanding securities, such as convertible preferred stock.

The following potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 have been excluded from the denominator of the diluted loss per share of common stock outstanding calculation (in thousands):

2018 Equity Incentive Plan

In June 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Plan, which authorized the issuance of up to 1.4 million shares, subject to an annual 4% increase based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding, in the form of restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and stock options to the Company’s directors, employees and consultants. The amount and terms of grants are determined by the Company’s board of directors. All stock options granted to date have had exercise prices equal to the fair value, as determined by the closing price as reported by the Nasdaq Global Market, of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The contractual term of stock options is up to 10 years, and stock options are exercisable in cash or as otherwise determined by the board of directors. Generally, stock options vest 25% upon the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder ratably monthly thereafter for 36 months. Restricted stock units generally vest ratably inthree equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. PRSUs generally vest based on appreciation of the Company’s common stock to a certain price as determined by the Company’s board of directors measured using a trailing 30-day volume weighted average price of a share of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of the PRSU awards are determined using a risk neutral Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. As of December 31, 2023, there were 0.7 million shares available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.

2020 Inducement Incentive Plan

In December 2020, the Company adopted the 2020 Inducement Incentive Plan, which authorized the issuance of up to 0.4 million shares in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock

awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance stock awards and other stock awards to eligible employees who satisfy the standards for inducement grants under Nasdaq global market rules. In March 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved an additional 0.5 million shares for issuance under the plan. An individual who previously served as an employee or director of the Company is not eligible to receive awards under this plan. The amount and terms of grants are determined by the Company’s board of directors. As of December 31, 2023, there were 0.3 million shares available for future issuance under the 2020 Inducement Incentive Plan.

  1. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan which covers all of its employees. Employees are eligible to participate on the first of the month following their date of hire. Under the 401(k) plan, participating employees may defer up to 100% of their pre-tax salary but not more than statutory limits. As of December 31, 2023, the Company contributes 3% of employee salary to the participant’s defined contribution plan, which vests immediately. Employee contributions also vest immediately.

2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In July 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("2018 ESPP") with an initial 0.2 million share reserve, subject to automatic annual increases on January 1st of each year for a period of up toten years, as defined in the plan document. The purpose of the 2018 ESPP is to enhance employee interest in the success and progress of the Company by encouraging employee ownership of common stock of the Company. The 2018 ESPP provides the opportunity to purchase the Company’s common stock at a 15% discount to the market price through payroll deductions or lump sum cash investments. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had not yet approved any offering under the plan and 1.3 million shares were reserved for issuance.

  1. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s loss before income taxes was $30.2 million, $37.2 million, $31.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, and was generated entirely in the United States. The Company didnot record current ordeferred income tax expense or benefit during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

A reconciliation of the statutory United States federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:

In assessing the realizability of the net deferred tax asset, the Company considers all relevant positive and negative evidence in determining whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The realization of the gross deferred tax assets is dependent on several factors, including the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred income tax asset associated with its net operating losses will not be realized in the immediate future. As such, there is a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The valuation allowance increased by $7.7 million and $6.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, due primarily to the generation of net operating losses and the federal tax rate reduction during the periods. The changes in the valuation allowance were as follows (in thousands):

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​ · ​ · Year ended December 31,
​ · 2023 · 2022
Balance at the beginning of the year​$86,733​$80,663
Amounts charged to expense​7,739​6,070
Balance at the end of the year​$94,472​$86,733

The following table summarizes carryforwards of federal net operating losses and tax credits as of December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​​​Expiration
​ · ​ · Amount · ​ · Beginning in
Federal net operating losses​$338,0272024
State net operating losses​$217,0712024
Research and development credits​$2,9232024

Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the “Act”), the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities. Net operating

loss and tax credit carryforwards may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of certain cumulative changes in the ownership interest of significant shareholders over a three-year period in excess of 50 percent, as defined under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, respectively, as well as similar state provisions. This could limit the amount of tax attributes that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities. The amount of the annual limitation is determined based on the value of the Company immediately prior to the ownership change. Subsequent ownership changes may further affect the limitation in future years. The Company has not done an analysis to determine whether or not ownership changes, as defined by the Act, have occurred since inception.

The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2023, the Company hadno accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions andno amounts have been recognized in the Company’s Statements of Operations. Due to net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards that remain unutilized, income tax returns for tax years from inception through 2022 remain subject to examination by the taxing jurisdictions.

19**.**DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH TEIJIN PHARMA LIMITED

In October 2017, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Teijin for the exclusive distribution of its NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System to customers who will treat patients with MDD in Japan. Under the distribution agreement, Teijin is generally restricted from selling competing products in Japan. The distribution agreement provides that the Company will have primary responsibility for obtaining reimbursement approval for use of NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System for the treatment of MDD in Japan, and Teijin will promote the sales of NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System for treatment of MDD in Japan. The Company has agreed to provide sales and technical support training to Teijin for its NeuroStar Advanced Therapy Systems. Teijin is required to purchase minimum dollar values of NeuroStar Advanced Therapy Systems and treatment sessions from the Company.

In 2017, under the distribution agreement with Teijin, the Company received an upfront payment of $0.75 million and a milestone payment of $2.0 million following the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s, or JMHLW, approval of marketing the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System for the treatment of

MDD in Japan. In the second quarter of 2019, under the distribution agreement with Teijin, the Company earned a second milestone payment of $0.7 million, following Japan’s Central Social Insurance Medical Council (Chuikyo) approval of the recommendation by JMHLW’s expert review panel to provide reimbursement for NeuroStar Advanced Therapy for the treatment of MDD in adults. The reimbursement went into effect on June 1, 2019 and covers patients who are treated in the largest inpatient and outpatient psychiatric facilities in Japan at the rate of JPY 12,000 per treatment session. These upfront and subsequent milestone payments have been deferred and are being recognized as revenue over term of the agreement.

In May 2019, the Company and Teijin entered into an amendment to the distribution agreement, which among other things finalized transfer prices, forecasting and minimum purchases, and made certain clarifications to the agreement.

The distribution agreement is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2027, subject to earlier termination if the Company or Teijin breach the agreement, Teijin fails to maintain distributor-level permits and approvals, Teijin fails to purchase from the Company specified dollar values of its sales forecasts, reimbursement for treatment of MDD using the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is not obtained from JMHLW by specified dates or such reimbursement is below specified minimums, Teijin reasonably believes that it is not commercially reasonable to continue distributing the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System in Japan or bankruptcy related events occur. The term of the distribution agreement will be automatically extended fortwo years unless either party gives the other party at leasttwo years’ prior written of notice of non-renewal, except that the Company cannot decline to renew the agreement if Teijin has purchased 100% of its sales forecasts over the term of the agreement.
