For the year ended December 31, 2024, electroCore reported net sales of $25.2 million compared to $16.0 million during the same period in 2023, which represents an approximate 57% increase over the prior year. The increase of $9.2 million is primarily due to an increase in net sales of Rx gammaCore in the VA channel and of Truvaga handsets in the health and wellness channel.

Gross profit for the full year of 2024 was $21.4 million as compared to $13.2 million for the full year of 2023. Gross margin was 85% for full year 2024 as compared to 83% for the full year of 2023.

Total operating expenses for the full year of 2024 were approximately $33.6 million as compared to $32.5 million for the full year of 2023.

Research and development expense for the full year of 2024 was $2.4 million as compared to $5.3 million for the full year of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a significant reduction in investments associated with the development of Truvaga Plus.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the full year of 2024 was $31.2 million as compared to $27.2 million for the full year of 2023. This increase was primarily due to greater variable selling and marketing costs consistent with an increase in sales.

GAAP net loss for the full year of 2024 was $11.9 million compared to $18.8 million for the full year of 2023. This significant improvement was primarily due to the increase in net sales to $25.2 million for the full year of 2024 as compared to $16.0 million during the same period in 2023. Net loss per share for the full year of 2024 was $1.59 as compared to a $3.42 net loss per share in the full year of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA net loss for the full year of 2024 was $9.0 million as compared to adjusted EBITDA net loss of $15.4 million for the full year of 2023. These improved results are also primarily due to the increase in 2024 net sales as compared to the same period in 2023.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA net loss as GAAP net loss, adjusting to exclude non-operating gains/losses, depreciation and amortization, stock-compensation expense, inventory reserve charges, non-recurring recruiting fees, severance and other related charges, legal fees associated with stockholders' litigation, benefit from income taxes, and non-recurring transaction charges associated with the pending acquisition of NeuroMetrix and other filing fees. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss is provided in the financial statement table below.

Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash at December 31, 2024, totaled approximately $12.2 million, as compared to approximately $10.6 million as of December 31, 2023.

(Unaudited) Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The Company is presenting adjusted EBITDA net loss because it believes this measure is a useful indicator of its operating performance. Management uses this non-GAAP measure principally as a measure of the Company's core operating performance and believes that this measure is useful to investors because it is frequently used by the financial community, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company's industry. The Company also believes that this measure is useful to its management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period. Additionally, the Company believes its use of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss from operations facilitates management's internal comparisons to historical operating results by factoring out potential differences caused by gains and charges not related to its regular, ongoing business, including, without limitation, non-cash charges and certain large and unpredictable charges such as restructuring expenses.

The Company's use of a non-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of its results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) the non-GAAP measure does not reflect interest or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available; (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and the non-GAAP measure does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; (iii) the non-GAAP measure does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation; and (iv) the non-GAAP measure does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for working capital needs; other companies, including companies in electroCore's industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA net loss differently, effectively reducing its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider the non-GAAP measure together with other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss, and other GAAP results. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss has been provided in the preceding financial statements table of this press release.
