Management Commentary

"Based on the size of the backlog entering the fourth quarter and the patient pipeline earlier in 2022, fourth quarter revenue was in line with our expectations", stated Paul R. Gudonis, Myomo's chairman and chief executive officer. "Importantly, we achieved our key objective of significant pipeline growth, moreover with a 45% reduction in the cost per new candidate entering the patient pipeline. To accomplish this, we adjusted our marketing strategies earlier in the year to educate and attract prospective patients using TV advertising, and then fine-tuned the timing of our placements in the fourth quarter to minimize competition from holiday and election advertising. As a result, we had improved patient acquisition economics, much stronger year over year growth in the patient pipeline and a record number of candidates in the process to obtain insurance reimbursement for their MyoPro as we exited 2022. Entering 2023, we've modified how we determine our pipeline of candidates to include only those patients with insurance payers that have a history of reimbursement for the MyoPro."

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $4.0 million, up slightly compared with the fourth quarter of 2021 and up 2% sequentially. Growth in revenue was driven by a higher average selling price (ASP), partially offset by a lower number of revenue units. Myomo recognized revenue on 101 MyoPro units in the fourth quarter of 2022, down 6% from the same quarter a year ago. Revenue for 2022 was $15.6 million, up 12%, compared with 2021. Excluding the partial joint venture license payment received in the first quarter of 2022, product revenue for 2022 of $14.6 million was up 5% compared with 2021.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 65.0%, compared with 77.4% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease was driven by higher product costs in the current inflationary environment, partially offset by a higher ASP. Gross margin for 2022 was 65.9%, compared with 74.4% for 2021.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $4.9 million, a decrease of 17%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease was driven primarily by lower product development expenses, lower incentive compensation costs and lower advertising expenses. Advertising costs of $1.0 million decreased 3% compared with the fourth quarter of 2021. Cost per pipeline add was $2,665, a decrease of 45%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2021. Operating expenses were $20.9 million for 2022, an increase of 2% over 2021.

Operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $2.2 million, compared with $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $2.2 million, or $0.29 per share, compared with net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.4 million, or $0.52 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2021. Operating loss for 2022 was $10.7 million, compared with $10.3 million for 2021. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for 2022 was $10.7 million, or $1.52 per share, compared with net loss attributable to common stockholders of $11.0 million, or $1.89 per share, for 2021. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the 2021 fourth quarter and full year includes a deemed dividend of $0.6 million on the discounting and repricing of certain warrants.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2022 was negative $1.9 million, compared with negative $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $9.3 million for 2022, compared with negative $9.0 million for 2021. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to this non-GAAP financial measure appears below.

Operations Update

In 2023, the Company is focusing on working with payers that have reimbursed for MyoPro's in the past, rather than expanding the payer base. The Company's analysis revealed that new payers generated less than 2% of the Company's 2022 revenues, yet consumed significant resources. As a result, the Company reduced its workforce by 12% in January 2023. This and other planned actions are expected to save approximately $2.0 million in 2023.

Further, the patient pipeline was re-focused in January on patients with insurance by payers that have reimbursed for the MyoPro in the past. Reflecting this change, the adjusted pipeline was 794 patients as of December 31, 2022, an increase of 50%, compared with 528 patients as of December 31, 2021. The Company expects these actions to have a minimal impact on 2023 revenues and to result in a higher authorization rate on a go-forward basis.

CMS Update

"We are preparing for a meeting with the DME MAC medical directors to discuss payment of the MyoPro for Medicare Part B patients and expect to submit our initial Medicare Part B claims as a direct provider before the end of the first quarter." continued Mr. Gudonis. "As we anticipated, CMS issued a public notice in January regarding its intention to propose a new rule that defines the scope of the Medicare Part B benefit for leg, arm, back and neck braces, as well as for newer technology devices. We expect that this new rule will address the request we made in June 2022 to change our benefit category from DME rental to a brace, or orthotic. We don't have any information regarding the timing for the publication of this proposed rule."

Business Outlook

"We expect first quarter 2023 product revenue to increase between 15% and 20% compared with the first quarter of 2022," added Mr. Gudonis. "Given the strength of the patient pipeline entering 2023 - now only with reliable payers- we believe full-year product revenue growth of between 20% to 30% is attainable."

Cash Position and Silicon Valley Bank Update

Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 were $5.3 million. Cash used in operating activities was $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $10.2 million for the full year 2022. In January 2023, the Company completed an offering of common stock and pre-funded warrants that generated net proceeds of approximately $5.7 million. The Company plans to reduce its cash burn in 2023 through a combination of revenue growth and the impact of the aforementioned actions.

On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") was placed under receivership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). The Company conducted its commercial banking through SVB. According to the FDIC, all depositors of SVB will have full access to their deposits on Monday morning, March 13, 2023.

Myomo Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results
