ReWalk Robotics Reports First Quarter
2015 Financial Results
YOKNEAM ILIT, ISRAEL / MARLBOROUGH, MA, May 7, 2015 -
ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (Nasdaq: RWLK) ("ReWalk" or "the Company") today announced its financial results for
the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Highlights of and subsequent to the first quarter include:
"Sales this quarter were less than expected
as the number of units placed were impacted by longer cycle times to complete patient evaluation, training, and processing of reimbursement
claims," said Larry Jasinski, Chief Executive Officer.
"During the quarter we made excellent
progress in building our overall training infrastructure, expanding market awareness and creating a high level of qualified customer
demand. Due to stronger customer interest, we are now directing more qualified leads to our training centers, which we believe
will result in higher sales. April commitments are already equal to first quarter sales, and we have two months remaining in Q2.
Our outlook remains positive for growth over the course of the year," he added.
"Our strategic plan for initial case-by-case
reimbursement along with parallel long-term activities is the key to achieving our overall growth targets. The experienced reimbursement
team we have recruited has begun to build the infrastructure we need to enable more individuals to obtain coverage for their systems
in the short term and will be able to support market growth over the next few years." Jasinski concluded.
First Quarter 2015 Financial Results
Total revenue was $635,000 for the
first quarter of 2015, up 43% compared with $445,000 in the first quarter of 2014, due to higher placements of ReWalk systems during
the first quarter of 2015. In the first quarter of 2015, 13 ReWalk systems were placed compared with six ReWalk systems placed
in the prior year period.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2015
was $33,000 as compared to a gross loss of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2014. This was largely due to the positive impact
of moving manufacturing operations to Sanmina in the second half of 2014.
Total operating expenses in the first quarter
of 2015 were $5.6 million, compared with $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2014, and reflects the Company's increased
investment in sales, marketing, and research and development resources and the increased cost of being a publicly-traded company.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which
are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), ReWalk believes that the use
of non-GAAP accounting measures, including non-GAAP net loss is helpful to its investors. These measures, which the Company refers
to as our non-GAAP financial measures, are not prepared in accordance with GAAP.
For the three-months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, non-GAAP
net loss is calculated as GAAP net loss excluding (i) non-cash share-based compensation expense and (ii) the revaluation
of warrants to purchase convertible preferred shares.
Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective
assumptions, and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company's non-cash expenses, the Company believes that
providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude share-based compensation expense and non-cash financial (income) expenses allow
for more meaningful comparisons between our operating results from period to period. Each of our non-GAAP financial measures is
an important tool for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating our own operating results over different periods
of time. The non-GAAP financial data are not measures of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered
as alternatives to operating loss or net loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial
measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other
companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual
items. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not
prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and exclude expenses
that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. Further, share-based compensation expense has been, and will
continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of the compensation
provided to our employees. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as
