YOKNEAM ILIT, ISRAEL / MARLBOROUGH, MA, February 8, 2019
- ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (Nasdaq: RWLK) ("ReWalk" or the "Company") today announced its financial
results for the three- and twelve-months ended December 31, 2018.
Highlights of and subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2018
"We believe that 2019 is poised to be a significant year
for ReWalk. I am excited by the momentum we are seeing in Europe for our SCI devices and the opportunity before us as we prepare
to launch our second product, the ReStore for stroke patients. We plan to enter the stroke market with a unique lightweight product
that fits into the existing reimbursement landscape, offering multiple treatment benefits for patients and a meaningful value proposition
for clinics. We are excited to bring this ground-breaking technology to market and believe its unique value will support rapid
adoption," stated Larry Jasinski, Chief Executive Officer of ReWalk.
"In November 2018, we submitted an application for CE
clearance and anticipate being able to launch ReStore mid-year. In the U.S., we are working to finalize our 510(k) submission to
the FDA and, if cleared, could have a product on the market before the end of the third quarter of 2019. To support our efforts,
we secured additional funding and will continue to manage our cash position. Our goal is to achieve a significant reduction in
operating expenses in 2019 compared to 2018 as we complete the regulatory and key development milestones related to the ReStore
launch, which we believe will reduce our burn rate in order to establish a path to break even," concluded Jasinski.
