2015 Financial Results
YOKNEAM ILIT, ISRAEL / MARLBOROUGH, MA, August 6, 2015 -
ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (Nasdaq: RWLK) ("ReWalk" or "the Company") today announced its financial results for
the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2015.
Highlights of and subsequent to the second quarter include:
"Although second quarter growth was
slower than we expected, demand generation in terms of qualified leads and completed filings for reimbursement grew substantially.
We expanded and modified our training programs to more effectively qualify users and to better assist individuals in advancing
their reimbursement applications," said Larry Jasinski, Chief Executive Officer.
"In July, we launched a significant
new product, the ReWalk Personal 6.0, which offers many superior features over any product in the market or in clinical trials
today. With its streamlined design, including elimination of the backpack, we expect it will increase the number of users and offer
them a better walking experience," he added.
"We remain confident
that the market opportunity and growth potential for ReWalk in our emerging industry is significant. And, that we will continue
to expand our leadership position in wearable exoskeleton market for many years to come," Jasinski concluded.

supporting processes, investing in research and development, and the cost of being a publicly-traded company.

For the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014,
