Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. DESCRI****PTION OF BUSINESS
Neuronetics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Neuronetics” or the “Registrant”) believes that mental health is as important as physical health. As a global leader in neuroscience, the Company is delivering more treatment options to patients and healthcare providers by offering exceptional in-office treatments that produce extraordinary results. 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 major depressive disorder (“MDD”) who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current MDD episode. It is also cleared by the FDA, as an adjunct for adults with OCD and for adolescent patients aged 15-21 with MDD. 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.
Effective as of December 9, 2024, Neuronetics and Greenbrook TMS Inc. (“Greenbrook”) completed the planned acquisition whereby Neuronetics acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Greenbrook by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Arrangement”). In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 25,304,971 shares of common stock representing approximately 43% of the outstanding shares on the date of the close. Each Greenbrook share outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement was exchanged for 0.01149 of a share of common stock of Neuronetics (the “Exchange Ratio”) upon closing of the Arrangement.
The Company continues to operate as Neuronetics, Inc., and the Neuronetics shares continue to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the ticker “STIM”.
With the acquisition of Greenbrook, the Company now controls and operates a network of outpatient mental health services centers that specialize in the provision of TMS therapy, SPRAVATO (esketamine nasal spray) and other treatment modalities for the treatment of depression and related psychiatric services.
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18.5 million and an accumulated deficit of $419.8 million. The Company incurred negative cash flows from operating activities of $31.0 million, $32.0 million and $30.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2024, the Company had $60.0 million of borrowings outstanding under its credit facility, which matures in July 2029.
On February 10, 2025, the Company completed a secondary public offering of its common stock in which the Company issued and sold 9,200,000 shares of its common stock, which included shares pursuant to an option granted to the underwriter to purchase additional shares, at a public offering price of $2.25 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $18.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses.
The Company’s ability to meet its liquidity needs is dependent on growth in existing and acquired product lines and the realization of synergies subsequent to its acquisition of Greenbrook. Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024, anticipated revenues from sales of our products and services, and net proceeds received from the February 10, 2025 secondary public offering are sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.
- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated 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”).
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars and includes the accounts of Neuronetics and Greenbrook. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest based on either the variable interest entity (VIE) or voting interest model (VOE). The Company is required to first apply the VIE model to determine whether it holds a variable interest in an entity, and if so, whether the entity is a VIE. ASC Topic 810,* Consolidation* ("Topic 810") defines the criteria for determining the existence of VIEs and provides guidance for consolidation.
An entity is considered to be a VIE if (i) the entity does not have enough equity to finance its own activities without additional support, (ii) the entity's at-risk equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the entity and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes. A VIE can have only one primary beneficiary but may not have a primary beneficiary if no party meets the criteria described above.
If the Company determines it does not hold a variable interest in a VIE, the Company applies the VOE model. To the extent the entity does not meet the definition of a VIE, Topic 810 guidance for voting interest entities is applied. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest, and therefore consolidation by the Company, is ownership of a majority voting interest of a corporation or a majority of kick-out rights for a limited partnership. The Company has determined that all its subsidiaries are VOEs primarily because it holds a majority voting interest in the entities.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of those rates. The Company has minimal exposure to currency risk as substantially all of the Company’s revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company pays certain vendors and payroll costs in Canadian dollars from time to time, but due to the limited size and nature of these payments it does not give rise to significant currency risk.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated 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.
- 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, 2024 and 2023, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds.
Restricted Cash and Deferred and Contingent Consideration
The deferred and contingent consideration payable and restricted cash balances relate to Greenbrook’s acquisition of Achieve TMS East, LLC and Achieve TMS Central, LLC prior to our acquisition of Greenbrook. At December 31, 2024, the Deferred and contingent consideration was $1.0 million and restricted cash that was held in an escrow account, subject to finalization of the escrow conditions, was $1.0 million.
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.
Segments
The Company currently operates inone business segment as it is managed and operated as one business in the medical device market. The Company’s chief executive is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM regularly reviews entity-wide net income and operating results compared to budget and forecast information to assess the Company’s performance and to allocate resources. The measure of profit or loss is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. All long-lived assets are maintained in the United States and Canada.
Business Combinations
The Company allocates the purchase consideration to the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, including intangible assets at fair value on the date of the acquisition. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. During
the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may adjust initial amounts that were recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires significant judgment, including the selection of valuation methodologies that may include the income approach, the cost approach, or the market approach. Significant assumptions used in those methodologies include the timing and amounts of cash flow projections, including revenue growth rates, margins, royalty rates, counterparty risk rates, and other discount rates.
Intangible Assets
The Company has acquired intangible assets through the acquisition of Greenbrook. Intangible assets are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and are subject to amortization over the estimated useful lives of each asset. Estimates of fair value and useful lives are based on historical factors, current circumstances, and the experience and judgment of management. Estimates and assumptions used to value intangible assets are evaluated by management on an ongoing basis.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price as compared to the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or when indications of impairment exist. The Company can elect to qualitatively assess goodwill for impairment if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value.
Impairment exists when the carrying amount, including goodwill, of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, resulting in an impairment charge for this excess (not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill). The Company's annual impairment testing date is October 1. The impairment, if determined, is recorded within operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period the determination is made. There wereno impairments recorded during the periods presented.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company adopted ASC Topic 326,Financial Instruments-Credit losses on January 1, 2023. 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 spaces, treatment centers, 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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. There wereno impairment losses recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded$0.6 million and$1.9 million respectively as inventory impairment within Cost of revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
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, ten years for TMS devices used at TMS centers, 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 and finite-lived intangible assets, 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. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $4.0 million capitalized software impairment charge within research and development expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Company hasnot recorded any impairment of its long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable are reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at amortized cost basis. The Company recognizes interest income within other income, net within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company monitors 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.
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 Consolidated 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 NeuroStar Advance Therapy System 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. 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.
Clinic revenue
Clinic revenue is from treatment centers based in the United States, offering NeuroStar Therapy and SPRAVATO to patients for the treatment of MDD and other mental health disorders*.*
Clinic revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the performance of services under contracts with customers and represents the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Service fee revenue is determined based on net patient fees, which includes estimates for contractual allowances and discounts. Net patient fees are estimated using an expected value approach where management considers such variables as the average of previous net patient fees received by the applicable payor and fees received by other patients for similar services and management’s best estimate leveraging industry knowledge and expectations of third-party payors’ fee schedules. Third-party payors include federal and state agencies (under the Medicare programs), managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies.
A key determinant of Topic 606 is estimating the transaction price when variable consideration may arise. Topic 606 allows for the transaction price with variable consideration to be estimated using either the expected value method or the most-likely value method. The Company’s estimates are calculated using the expected value method when using the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts.
Variable consideration also exists in the form of settlements with certain insurance companies, including Medicare, as a result of retroactive adjustments due to audits and reviews. The Company applies constraint to the transaction price, such that net revenues are recorded only to the extent that it is probable that a
significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in the future. If actual amounts of consideration ultimately received differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net revenues in the period such variances become known.
Due to the nature of the industry and complexity of the Company’s revenue arrangements, where price lists are subject to the discretion of payors, variable consideration exists that may result in price concessions and constraints to the transaction price for the services rendered.
In estimating this variable consideration, the Company uses significant judgment and considers various factors including, but not limited to, the following:
| • | commercial payors and the administrators of federally-funded healthcare programs exercise discretion over pricing and may establish a base fee schedule for TMS (which is subject to change prior to final settlement) or negotiate a specific reimbursement rate with an individual TMS provider; |
| • | average of previous net service fees received by the applicable payor and fees received by other patients for similar services; |
| • | management’s best estimate, leveraging industry knowledge and expectations of third-party payors’ fee schedules; |
| • | factors that would influence the contractual rate and the related benefit coverage, such as obtaining pre-authorization of services and determining whether the procedure is medically necessary; |
| • | probability of failure in obtaining timely proper provider credentialing (including re-credentialling) and documentation, in order to bill various payors which may result in enhanced price concessions; and |
| • | variation in coverage for similar services among various payors and various payor benefit plans. |
The Company updates the estimated transaction price (including updating its assessment of whether an estimate of variable consideration is constrained) to represent faithfully the circumstances present at the end of the reporting period and the changes in circumstances during the reporting period in which such variances become known.
The above factors are not related to the creditworthiness of the large medical insurance companies and government-backed health plans encompassing the significant majority of the Company’s payors. The payors (large insurers and government agencies) have the ability and intent to pay, but price lists for the Company’s services are subject to the discretion of payors. As a result, the adjustment to reduce the transaction price and constrain the variable consideration is a price concession and not indicative of credit risk on the payors and is not a bad debt expense.
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 Systems 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, 2024 and 2023 were not materially impacted by any other factors.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company expects to recognize approximately the following percentages of deferred revenue by year:
| · · · | |
|---|---|
| | Revenue |
| Year: · · Recognition | |
| 2025 | 90% |
| 2026 | 9% |
| 2027 | 1% |
| Total | 100% |
Revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year was $1.6 million and $2.0 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, 2024, 2023 and 2022, one customer, Greenbrook accounted for 12%,15% and 17%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. Following the acquisition Greenbrook is no longer a customer.
Accounts receivable outstanding related to the customer was $0 and$1.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Notes receivable outstanding related to the customer was $0 and $5.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

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”) with a market condition 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 PRSUs with a performance condition is estimated at the time of grant, based on the grant date fair value of the Company’s common stock. For awards with a performance condition, compensation cost is recognized when the achievement of the performance condition is considered probable of achievement.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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not anticipate significant changes in the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits over the next year.
- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06,Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. The new guidance also modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
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. Accordingly, we have expanded our consolidated financial statement disclosures in order to comply with the guidance.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 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, 2024. This ASU will be effective for our annual period ended December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of ASU 2023-09 on its disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,Income Statements–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires enhanced disclosure of income statement expense categories to improve transparency and provide financial statement users with more detailed information about the nature, amount, and timing of expenses impacting financial performance. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 may be adopted either on a prospective basis to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024 03, in its consolidated financial statements.
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 consolidated financial statements.
- ACQUISITION
Effective as of December 9, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Greenbrook whereby the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Greenbrook, which became a wholly owned subsidiary. The results of operations and financial position of Greenbrook are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Greenbrook operates treatment centers across the United States, offering both NeuroStar Advanced Therapy and SPRAVATO for the treatment of MDD and other mental health disorders. The transaction strengthened the Company’s ability to expand patient access to mental health treatments by capitalizing on the consolidated Company’s stronger revenue base and cost synergy opportunities.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 25,304,971 shares of common stock and paid $4.2 million in cash consideration. The aggregate fair value of the common stock issued was $29.1 million. The aggregate fair value of the non-controlling interest acquired was $4.1 million and represents the equity value of Greenbrook not acquired in the transaction, stated at its estimated fair value determined by using an income method approach. The acquisition meets the criteria to be accounted for as a business in accordance with ASC 805,Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). This method requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date and that the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid for the acquired entity and the fair value of the net assets acquired be recorded as goodwill, which is tested at least annually for impairment. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on preliminary information and is subject to further adjustment within the measurement period.
In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for a business combination, the purchase price of $38.8 million was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition as follows (in thousands, except share data):
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consideration transferred: | | | |
| Common stock | | $29,101 | |
| Cash consideration | | | 4,175 |

| Total identifiable net assets | $24,292 | ||
| | | | |
| Non-controlling interest | | | (4,112) |
| | | | |
| Fair value of net assets acquired less noncontrolling interests acquired | | $20,180 | |
| | | | |
| Goodwill | | | 18,634 |
| | | | |
| | $38,814 | ||
The Company incurred $3.8 million in legal and consulting fees related to the acquisition which were expensed as incurred and recognized in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The purchase price was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The identifiable intangible assets included management services agreements of $17.1 million and tradename of $2.6 million and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a range of 17-21 years and 5 years, respectively. The management services agreements and tradename were valued using a multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”) and the relief from royalty method (“RFR”), respectively. These valuation methods are specific forms of the Income Approach which is a valuation technique that drives value by estimating the fair value of after-tax cash flows attributable to the acquired intangibles. The valuation methods require several judgments and assumptions to determine the fair value of the intangible assets, including growth rates, discount rates, expected levels of cash flows, and tax rate. Key assumptions used included revenue projections, a tax rate of 25%, a discount rate of 23%, and a royalty rate of 1%.
Goodwill is attributable to the workforce of Greenbrook as well as the benefits the Company expects to realize, as Greenbrook complements the Company’s business and will provide various synergies.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, Greenbrook contributed approximately $4.4 million of revenue and approximately $1.7 million of net loss to the Company’s operating results.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following table reflects the pro forma operating results for the Company which gives effect to the acquisition of Greenbrook as if it had occurred on January 1, 2023. The pro forma results are based on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of future results. The pro forma financial information includes the historical results of the Company and Greenbrook with eliminations for all intercompany transactions and excludes the effects of any synergies or cost reduction initiatives related to the acquisition Greenbrook.

- 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets approximated their fair values as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of the Company’s current credit facility approximated its fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 due to its variable interest rate. The carrying value of the Company’s notes receivable approximated its fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 due to its variable interest rate.
The amendment to the agreement (the “Perceptive Facility”) included contingently issuable warrants of up to 900,000 shares that did not meet equity classification. Accordingly, the Company classified the warrants as a liability at their fair value and will adjust the warrants to their fair value at each reporting period. At December 31, 2024 the fair value of the liability-classified warrants was de minimis.
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. |

Rental equipment depreciation expense was $0.09 million, $0.09 million and $0.10 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
- 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets, the current portion of capitalized contract costs is presented in current portion of prepaid commission expense, while the long-term portion is included in prepaid commission expense. Amortization expense was $2.9 million, $2.3 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and presented within sales and marketing in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Perceptive Credit Facility
On July 25, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement and Guaranty with Perceptive Credit Holdings IV, LP (“Perceptive”) as collateral agent and other lenders defined in the agreement (the “Perceptive Facility”) which was used to partially repay the Company’s previous $60.0 million credit facility with SLR Investment Corp. (formerly known as Solar Capital Ltd.).
The Perceptive Facility permits the Company to borrow up to an aggregate amount of$90.0 million inthree tranches of term loans, a “Tranche 1 Loan”, a “Tranche 2 Loan” and a “Tranche 3 Loan.” On July 25, 2024, the Company borrowed an aggregate amount of$50.0 million, which was the aggregate amount available under the Tranche 1 Loan portion of the Perceptive Facility. Under the Tranche 2 Loan portion of the Perceptive Facility, the Company is permitted to borrow, at its election, up to an aggregate amount of$15.0 million, (i) upon the Company achieving a specified amount of trailing twelve months net revenue, and (ii) assuming there has been no event of default under the Perceptive Facility prior to such election. The Tranche 2 Loan portion of the Perceptive Facility must be borrowed on or before January 31, 2026. Under the Tranche 3 Loan portion of the Perceptive Facility, the Company may request to borrow, at the consent of the Majority Lenders (as defined in the Perceptive Facility), up to an aggregate amount of$25.0 million. The Tranche 3 Loan portion of the Perceptive Facility is available until June 30, 2026. There are no scheduled repayments of the principal on the Tranche 1 Loan, Tranche 2 Loan and Tranche 3 Loan prior to the maturity date. All amounts borrowed under the Perceptive Facility are due on July 25, 2029.
Each of the Tranche 1 Loan, Tranche 2 Loan and Tranche 3 Loan accrues interest from the date of borrowing through the date of repayment at a floating per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of 7.00% plus the greater of (a)4.50% and (b) One-Month Term SOFR (as defined in the Perceptive Facility).
If the Company prepays either the Tranche 1 Loan, Tranche 2 Loan or Tranche 3 Loan prior to their scheduled maturity date, the Company will also be required to pay prepayment fees to Perceptive equal to 6% of the principal amount of such term loan then-prepaid if prepaid on or before the first anniversary of the closing date,5% 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 closing date,4% of the principal amount of such term loan then-prepaid if prepaid after the second anniversary and on or before the third anniversary of the closing date, and 3% of the principal amount of such term loan then-prepaid if prepaid after the third anniversary and on or before the fourth anniversary of the closing date.
The Company’s obligations under the Perceptive Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets, including its intellectual property. The Perceptive Facility requires the Company to comply with a quarterly minimum trailing revenue covenant commencing March 2025 and a minimum liquidity covenant as well as affirmative and negative covenants.
The Perceptive Facility contains events of default, including, without limitation, events of default upon: (i) failure to make payment pursuant to the terms of the agreement; (ii) violation of covenants; (iii) material adverse changes to the Company’s business; (iv) insolvency; (v) material cross-defaults; (vi) significant judgments, orders or decrees for payments by the Company; (vii) incorrectness of representations and warranties; (viii) significant adverse ERISA events; (ix) failure by the Company to be registered with the SEC in good standing; and (x) failure by the Company to maintain a valid and perfected lien on the collateral securing the borrowing.
As consideration for the Perceptive Facility, the Company agreed to issue to Perceptive warrants to purchase up to 1,462,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, with a warrant exercisable into 1,125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued on the closing date (the “Initial Warrant”). The per share exercise price for the Initial Warrant is equal to the lower of (x) the 10-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the business day immediately prior to the closing date and (y) the 10-day volume weighted average price of the common stock ended on August 31, 2024. In addition to the Initial Warrant, an additional warrant will be issued for 337,500 shares of common stock concurrently with the borrowing of the Tranche 2 Loan. The per share exercise price for the additional warrant will be equal to the exercise price of the Initial Warrant. Each warrant will be exercisable, in whole or in part, until the tenth anniversary of the applicable date of issuance.
On December 9, 2024, the Company amended the Perceptive Facility and borrowed against the Tranche 3 Loan in a principal amount of $10.0 million and used the proceeds thereof to finance, in part, the operations of the combined enterprise after the acquisition of Greenbrook and the related transactions included in the Arrangement. As consideration for Tranche 3 borrowing, the Company issued warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.94.
The Company calculated the issuance date fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which resulted in a fair value of $2.6 million. Accordingly, the Company allocated the proceeds from the Perceptive facility on a relative fair value basis resulting in $2.5 million allocated to warrants during the year ended December 31, 2024.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $60.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Perceptive Facility, which has a final maturity in July 2029. The interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is variable and resets monthly.
The Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Perceptive Facility at December 31, 2024.
The following table sets forth by year our required future principal payments under the term loan portion of the Perceptive Facility:

On March 7, 2024, the Company entered into a sixth amendment (the “Solar Sixth Amendment”) to the Solar Facility.
Under the Solar Sixth Amendment, Solar (i) waived the specified events with respect to the Company’s non-compliance with the required revenue under the net product revenue covenant and (ii) amended the financial covenants to reflect current projections.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with its minimum net product revenue covenant under the Solar Facility. The amount of borrowing affected by this noncompliance was $60 million.
The Company’s entry into the Perceptive Facility, on July 25, 2024, the Company prepaid in full all outstanding obligations under and terminated the Solar Facility. In connection with this prepayment, the Company paid total consideration of $64.7 million, which consisted of (i) $60.0 million of remaining principal amount outstanding, (ii) $0.5 million of accrued and unpaid interest, (iii) $3.0 million in connection with the final payment fee, and (iv) $1.2 million in connection with the prepayment fee. The Company funded the prepayment of the Solar Facility using proceeds from the Perceptive Facility and cash on hand.
Loss on extinguishment of debt amounting to $4.4 million was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2024, related to the Solar Facility. This included $1.2 million of early prepayment fees and $3.2 million of deferred financing expense related to extinguishment of debt. Additionally the Company incurred $2.8 million to Solar for exit fees in relation to the acquisition.

Subsequent event Common Stock Offering
On February 10, 2025, the Company completed a secondary public offering of its common stock in which the Company issued and sold 9,200,000 shares of its common stock, which included shares pursuant to an option granted to the underwriter to purchase additional shares, at a public offering price of $2.25 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $18.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses.
- 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, 2024, 2023 and 2022 have been excluded from the denominator of the diluted loss per share of common stock outstanding calculation (in thousands):

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.

The Company offers our board of directors and certain employees the opportunity to defer restricted stock units into an equity-based deferred equity compensation plan, the Restricted Stock Unit Deferral Election Plan (“RSUDEP”). Benefits from these plans are payable in shares of Neuronetics stock and the awards under this plan are unfunded to the plans’ participants.

As December 31, 2024 there were 0.2 million shares deferred under this plan.
The Company didnot grant performance restricted stock units during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

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, 2024 and 2023. The valuation allowance increased by $7.2 million and $7.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, due primarily to acquired deferred tax assets as well as the generation of
net operating losses and disallowed interest expense carryforwards. The changes in the valuation allowance were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| · · Year ended December 31, | ||||||
| · 2024 · 2023 | ||||||
| Balance at the beginning of the year | | $94,472 | | $86,733 | ||
| Amounts acquired through purchase accounting | | | 32,284 | | | — |
| Amounts charged to expense | | 7,234 | | 7,739 | ||
| Balance at the end of the year | | $133,990 | | $94,472 | ||
The following table summarizes carryforwards of federal net operating losses and tax credits as of December 31, 2024 (in thousands):
| · · · · · | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| | | | Expiration |
| · · Amount · · Beginning in | |||
| Federal net operating losses | | $424,377 | 2025 |
| State net operating losses | | $355,165 | 2025 |
| Research and development credits | | $2,699 | 2025 |
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, 2024, the Company hadno accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions andno amounts have been recognized in the Company’s Consolidated 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 2023 remain subject to examination by the taxing jurisdictions.

21**.**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.
- SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company currently operates in one business segment focused on the sale and delivery of transcranial magnetic stimulation products that improve the quality of life for people suffering from neurohealth disorders. The Company’s CODM is the chief executive officer.
The accounting policies of its segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The key measure of segment profit of loss that the CODM uses to allocate resources and assess performance is the Company’s net loss from operations, as reported on the accompanying statements of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheets as total consolidated assets with particular emphasis on the Company’s available liquidity, including its cash and cash equivalents and
restricted cash. Following the recent acquisition of Greenbrook, intra-entity sales or transfers were insignificant to the segment analysis.
The following tables illustrate information about reported segment revenue, measures of a segment’s profit or loss, significant segment expenses, and measure of a segment's assets for the current reporting period.

On December 9, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Greenbrook (see Note 5). Due to the recency of the Greenbrook acquisition and lack of underlying financial information provided to the CODM, onlyone reportable segment was reported during 2024. The Company will continue to assess the identification of segments as the integration of Greenbrook progresses.
- NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
As a result of the Greenbrook acquisition (see Note 5), the Company has operating agreements with 22 non-wholly owned entities. The non-controlling interest percentages range from 10% to 49%. The Company has control over these entities under U.S. GAAP as the Company has power over all significant decisions made by these entities. Thus,100% of the financial results of these subsidiaries are included in the Company’s consolidated financial results.
There were no changes in the Company’s non-wholly owned entities since the date of the acquisition through December 31, 2024.
- GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE
Employee Retention Credit
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act provided an Employee Retention Credit (the “ERC”), which was a refundable tax credit related to certain payroll taxes. The Company applied the grant model and determined that the criteria for recognition of the ERC was met during the year ended December 31, 2023
based on the Company’s determination of eligibility and filing of the ERC claim. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the $2.9 million ERC receivable is reported within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The credit was reported within other income, net in the Company’s Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Subsequent to December 31, 2024 the Company received $2.6 million in ERC payments from the IRS consisting of $2.3 million of claims related to fiscal year 2021 and accrued interest of $0.3 million. The Company is expecting to receive payment for the remaining ERC claim periods in 2025.
- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 26, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement and Guaranty by and between the Company, as the borrower, and Perceptive, in its capacities as administrative agent for the lenders and the majority lender (the “Perceptive Amendment”). Pursuant to the Perceptive Amendment, the parties agreed to revise net revenue covenant to align with the Company’s pre-existing operating plan for the first quarter of 2025.
