CRESSKILL, N.J. and JERUSALEM, Israel, Nov. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BrainsWay Ltd. (NASDAQ & TASE: BWAY) (“BrainsWay” or the “Company”), a global leader in the advanced non-invasive treatment of brain disorders, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and will provide an operational update.

Recent Financial and Operational Highlights

• For the three months ended September 30, 2020, revenues were $6.0 million, a 25% increase sequentially from the second quarter of 2020, and a 1% increase from the third quarter of 2019.
• As of September 30, 2020, BrainsWay’s Deep TMS installed base was 593 total systems, a 22% increase from the same period in 2019.
• Received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the Company’s Deep TMS system for its use as an aid in short-term smoking cessation in adults.
• Published real-world OCD data in Journal of Psychiatric Research showing 73% reach response at an early stage of Deep TMS treatment, and demonstrating durability of therapeutic effect.

“We are very pleased with the solid performance demonstrated in our business during the third quarter,” stated Christopher von Jako, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of BrainsWay. “Importantly, the ongoing pandemic has amplified the need to address a vastly underserved, large mental healthcare market, and the large majority of Deep TMS clinics are responding by operating at or near normal levels, with some even experiencing activity above pre-COVID-19 levels. We have a number of tailwinds positively impacting our business, including delivering upon our data-driven approach to penetrating the market through a growing commercial and clinical body of evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of Deep TMS, beneficial reimbursement trends, a recently strengthened U.S. commercial team, emerging growth opportunities, and continued success in our pipeline strategy as evidenced by our recent 510(k) clearance for smoking addiction, our third FDA-cleared indication.”

Third quarter 2020 Financial Results

• Total revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $6.0 million, compared with $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2020, and $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2019, increases of 25% and 1%, respectively. Quarterly recurring lease revenues were $3.4 million, remaining flat over the third quarter of 2019, and comprising 57% of total revenues.
• Gross margin for the third quarter of 2020 was 75%, a decrease when compared to third quarter 2019 gross margin of 81%, which resulted from an increased recognition of inventory obsolescence.
• Operating expenses for the third quarter totaled $5.1 million, compared with $7.0 million for the third quarter of 2019. The decrease is in-line with the Company’s continued efforts to enhance efficiency and to lower operational expenses in light of the financial impact of COVID-19.
• Operating loss for the third quarter was $0.6 million, compared with an operating loss of $2.2 million for the same period in 2019.
• As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash and short-term investments of approximately $16.0 million, compared with $21.9 million at December 31, 2019, reflecting cash use of $5.9 million for the first nine months of 2020 resulting from operating losses and timing of inventory deliveries from vendors.
