MARLBOROUGH, Mass. BERLIN, Germany and YOKNEAM ILIT, Israel, May 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (Nasdaq: RWLK) (“ReWalk” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Highlights of and subsequent to the first quarter of 2020 include:

• Total revenue for the first quarter of 2020 was $0.8 million, compared to $1.6 million in the prior year quarter;
• Finalized agreements with key German payors for the supply of ReWalk Personal 6.0 to qualified patients;
• Amended our research collaboration agreement with Harvard to focus on tele-health solutions and extend the term through March 2023;
• Entering upper and lower extremity products, offering hand, leg, arm and balance systems with MediTouch
• Adding functional electrical stimulation cycle for home and rehab therapy with Myolyn; and
• CMS code hearing for ReWalk Personal scheduled for June 1, 2020.

“The first quarter of 2020 was challenging as we had the COVID-19 pandemic affecting our ability to meet, train and deliver our products to customers. We have reacted to the new environment and have modified our spending and cash usage to make sure we have sufficient cash to execute our plan for the remaining part of the year and beyond. We are excited with the insurance contracts achieved in Germany, our new product lines added in the United States where we see clear synergy with our current products and our CMS application progress,” stated Larry Jasinski, Chief Executive Officer of ReWalk.

First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Total revenue was $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $1.6 million during the prior year quarter. We had several ReWalk Personal 6.0 devices that were not delivered due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Gross margin was 49% during the first quarter of 2020, compared to 59% in the first quarter of 2019. The decrease is primarily due to the lower number of units placed during the quarter.

Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were $4 million, compared to $4.5 million in the prior year period.

Net loss was $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019 remained flat and was $3.6 million. Reconciliation of net loss to non-GAAP net loss is included at the end of this press release.

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2020, ReWalk had $16.6 million in cash on its balance sheet and $5.7 million in short- term debt.

Any forward-looking statement made in this press release speaks only as of the date hereof. Factors or events that could cause ReWalk’s actual results to differ from the statements contained herein may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for ReWalk to predict all of them. Except as required by law, ReWalk undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

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 months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 measures of the Company’s financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to operating loss or net loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in ReWalk’s industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial results. Further, share-based compensation expense has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in the Company’s business and an important part of the compensation provided to its employees.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. ReWalk urges investors to review the reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.
