Second Quarter 2024 Highlights
Recent Operational and Marketing Highlights
Despite continued industry headwinds that impacted our customers during the quarter, we re pleased to see the
continued momentum within our business and the positive impacts our training and education initiatives are having, in particular our Better Me Provider program. We are also very excited about the strong early trends we have seen since receiving FDA
clearance for NeuroStar therapy in adolescents, including multiple recent policy updates which have expanded reimbursement coverage to this hugely important and underserved patient population. These initiatives, along with our secured debt facility
of up to $90 million, strengthen our ability to drive future growth and make progress towards profitability, said Keith J. Sullivan, President and CEO. I am especially enthusiastic about our announced agreement to merge with
Greenbrook TMS. This transaction brings together two of the leaders in the mental health space in the U.S., which will allow us to provide access to innovative care to patients suffering from mental health conditions. Leveraging the significant
scale and capabilities of the two businesses, we can drive increased awareness of NeuroStar, consistently deliver best practices, facilitate improved reimbursement on a regional and national level, and provide additional services and training
opportunities to all of our customers which can improve their business operations.
