has made significant progress to advance our R&D efforts for ReStore and support reimbursement. Positive developments with
insurance providers in both the U.S. and Germany suggest we should see increased coverage for the ReWalk exoskeleton for SCI patients
as we end 2018 and head into 2019. We have applied for CE mark clearance; and, with our ReStore study enrollment near completion,
we are on track to file with the FDA by year end 2018 or early 2019, positioning us to potentially have a stroke product on the
market in the U.S. in Q3 2019. We continue to explore all financing options available to the Company in order to ensure that we
are able to execute our strategy and advance our important products for the SCI and stroke communities," stated Larry
Jasinski, Chief Executive Officer of ReWalk.

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 non-GAAP financial measures, are not prepared in accordance with GAAP.
For the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2018 and
2017, 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.
Because of varying available valuation
methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company's non-cash expenses,
ReWalk believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude non-cash share-based compensation expense, depreciation
and non-cash financial (income) expenses allows for more meaningful comparisons between operating results from period to period.
Each of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures is an important tool for financial and operational decision-making and
for the Company's evaluation of its operating results over different periods of time. The non-GAAP financial data are not
