YOKNEAM ILIT, ISRAEL / MARLBOROUGH, MA, November 2, 2017
- ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (Nasdaq: RWLK) ("ReWalk" or "the Company") today announced its financial
results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017.
Highlights of and subsequent to the third quarter include:
"Our business continues to deliver
year over year growth as we focus on advancing our key initiatives including insurance reimbursement coverage for the ReWalk Personal
device and progressing our innovative soft suit exoskeleton technology, the Restore, designed for individuals who experienced a
stroke. We view the Restore system as a platform technology which we believe has significant applications beyond stroke in potentially
treating multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and other lower limb disabilities," stated
Larry Jasinski, Chief Executive Officer.
"We have begun pre-clinical testing
of the Restore system to study its safety and use in the rehabilitation setting for the mobility needs of stroke patients. We are
targeting a clinical trial with the Restore system to begin in early 2018 and aim to commercialize the system for use by stroke
patients in Europe in late 2018, followed by the United States in late 2018 or early 2019, subject to the timing and receipt of
CE mark and Food and Drug Administration clearance," he added.
Third Quarter 2017 Financial
Total revenue was $1.7 million for
the third quarter of 2017, an increase of 24% compared with $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2016. 16 ReWalk units were placed
during the third quarter, compared with 23 ReWalk systems placed in the prior year period, of which 10 were placed in the U.S.,
three in Europe, and three with distributors. An additional 8 rental units from previous periods converted to purchases. For the
first three quarters of 2017, a total of 19 rental units converted to sales.
Gross margin improved to 41% during
the third quarter of 2017 compared to 21% in the prior year period, primarily attributable to sales mix, an increase in the conversion
of rental units to purchases, and lower product costs.

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 net loss is helpful to its investors. This measure is not

For the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2017 and
2016, non-GAAP net loss is calculated as GAAP net loss excluding (i) non-cash share-based compensation expense, (ii) depreciation
and (iii) non-cash financial expenses.
