Adar Levy
Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Garth. Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. We are excited to announce record quarterly revenue of $12.6 million reported for the second quarter of 2025. This represents a 26% increase compared to the same period last year. In addition, we shipped a total of 88 deep TMS systems during the quarter, representing a 35% increase compared to the same period last year. This brings our total install base to 1,522 systems. A key part of our success, which has allowed us to report steady growth and strong growth margin, is our focus on generating recurring revenue streams through multi-year lease agreements. These agreements now make up approximately 70% of our recent customer engagement. In addition to signing new agreements, we have had a high rate of customer retention with many customers deciding to extend and even expand their agreement out several years. Currently, we have a backlog of signed agreements with remaining performance obligations totaling approximately $62 million. This backlog provides us with a clear visibility into the future and a foundation from which to grow. We believe the stability and visibility in our business driven by the growing share of customer engagement tied to multi-year leasing agreement over the past several quarters clearly demonstrate our evolution from a pioneer of breakthrough technology into a scalable growth platform. With the wind at our backs, we have been able to further establish our leadership position in the non-invasive neuromodulation space. I am proud of how efficient our team is at executing our business model, which is designed to innovate, repeat, expand, and compound. Though far under this model, we are focused on three key pillars to drive long-term growth, including further elevating market awareness of deep TMS and its clinical impact, advancing our R&D roadmap to unlock new and expanded treatment indication, and broadening patient access through global expansion and health system integration. At the core of these three initiatives is our regulatory approvals and clinical data, which continue to set DeepTMS apart, elevating our platform in the market. As a reminder, DeepTMS is the only TMS modality cleared by the FDA and with peer-reviewed published clinical evidence for a broad range of indications including depression, anxious depression, late-life depression, OCD, and smoking addiction. Recently, we announced BrainSway would provide independent educational grant to fund two new continuing medical education, or CME courses, designed to extend clinician knowledge and confidence in the use of deep TMS. These activities aim to deepen understanding of our robust clinical evidence supporting TMS, clarify distinction between deep TMS and first generation figure of eight called TMS, and provide practical guidance for integrating TMS into clinical practice. The courses are led by key opinion leaders in the field of psychiatry and brain stimulation, and we are proud to be able to support this effort. Over the past two years, we have focused on strengthening our engagement with large enterprise customers and building valuable partnership to drive sales. This approach has benefited us to our customers as they receive higher end engagement and support from our team. Most recently, we achieved an extensive order of systems with a multi-phase delivery plan through the end of the year by a fast-growing U.S. mental health network in the Western and Southern U.S. As an update on our clinical initiative, we recently submitted data to the U.S. FDA from our randomized multicenter U.S. clinical trial, which evaluated an accelerated treatment protocol for the deep TMS system for major depressive disorder treatment as compared to the current standard of care deep TMS protocol. As a reminder, The traditional deep TMS protocol involves a four-week acute treatment phase with one session on each day of treatment. This is now being compared to an accelerated protocol, which involves a significantly shorter acute phase taking place over several treatment days. We believe this accelerated protocol has the potential to improve convenience and thereby make deep TMS substantially more appealing to prospective patients. We are also continuing to progress with Israel Ministry of Defense Rehabilitation Department in qualifying patients with post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, for deep TMS and will keep you posted of any changes. Moving on to our investment initiative. As previously announced, in late 2024, we identified a new opportunity to generate shareholder value by making minority interest investment in mental health providers, as well as other enterprises that we believe are complementary to our business. This strategy allows us to tap into a market we know well, building additional market awareness, R&D roadmap, data analysis capability, and extending access to deep TMS, while avoiding stepping into an operational role outside of our core focus as a deep TMS technology company. To support us in this initiative, we engaged Valor Equity Partner, which made a $20 million strategic equity investment in our company. This investment provided us with the capital needed to quickly move ahead with this strategy on a broader and more meaningful scale. We are pleased with the rollout of this initiative and recently made An initial investment at the end of the second quarter, under this agreement, we completed a $5 million financing transaction with Stella MSO, a management services organization, servicing more than 20 mental health clinics across U.S. that have treated over 30,000 patients to date. This is just the first of what we expect to be many investments under this strategy. We are actively engaged with several other mental health clinics, enterprises for similar engagement. We look forward to keeping you updated on this initiative. We believe that these activities are critical as we walk to further cement a role in shaping the future of mental health treatment. With that, I will now turn the call over to Ido for his review of our second quarter 2025 financial results. Ido. Thank you, Adar. As Adar noted, Q2 2025 was another record quarter for Brandsway, with revenue of $12.6 million, representing a 26% increase compared to $10 million in the same period last year. During the quarter, we placed 88 deep TMS systems, bringing our total install base to 1,522 systems as of June 30th, 2025, compared to 1,215 systems a year ago. Growth profit for the quarter was $9.5 million, up $2 million from $7.5 million in the prior year period, while maintaining a strong growth margin of 75% in both periods. This stability continues to reflect the strength of our recurring revenue model and disciplined cost management. Turning to operating expenses. Sales and marketing totaled $4.9 million compared to $3.8 million in Q2 2024, an increase of $1.1 million driven by targeted investment in commercial expansion and marketing programs. Research and development expenses were $2.3 million compared to $1.7 million last year, an increase of $0.6 million primarily from our ongoing clinical trials and development activities. General and administrative expenses were $1.6 million, compared to $1.4 million in the prior year period, an increase of $0.2 million, mainly due to additional legal fees and due diligence costs related to the Stella investment and other initiatives, as reflected in our adjusted EBITDA reconciliation table, including in our press release issued earlier today. Operating profit was approximately $600,000 in line with the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $1.5 million from $1.3 million in a prior year period. Net profit for the quarter was $2 million compared to $0.6 million in the same period of 2024. From a balance sheet perspective, we ended the quarter with $78.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term deposits, up $8.7 million from the end of 2024 and up $30.2 million from the same point last year. This increase was driven primarily by very strong collections during the quarter and was offset by our deployment of $5 million for the minority equity investment in Stella MSO, as part of our strategic initiatives. Our strong cash position also reflects the equity financing completed in Q4 2024, which provided the resources to fund these growth investments while maintaining significant liquidity. In addition, deferred revenue also increased meaningfully, largely due to advanced collection from a significant multi-year agreement with growing mental health network. As a result, remaining performance obligation grew to $62 million, a 25% year-over-year increase, providing strong visibility into future revenues. Cash flow from operation in the quarter was positive, further reinforcing the strength of our recurring model and high collection efficiency. Our capital structures remain debt-free, giving us significant flexibility to pursue strategic growth initiatives. including the investment program Adaro outlined earlier. Based on our strong first half results, healthy backlog, and continued momentum in both U.S. and international markets, we are raising our full year 2025 revenue guidance to a range of $50 to $52 million, representing 22 to 27% growth over 2024 revenue. We now expect operating profit in the range of 4 to 5% of revenue and adjusted EBITDA in the range of 12 to 13% for the year. This concludes my remarks and I will now turn the call back to the operator to please open the call for questions. Operator?

speaker

Please go ahead.

speaker
Jeffrey Cohen
Analyst, Lindenburg-Tolman

Good morning, Hadar and Ido. Thanks for taking our questions. I guess firstly, Hadar, could you talk about the accelerated protocol in the sense of when that comes to market as far as treatment days and potential pricing and pay or flow, at least domestically, please?

speaker
Adar Levy
Chief Executive Officer

Yeah. Good morning, Jeff. So as I said, as part of my earlier call, we already submitted the data to the FDA, and we also published the initial results from the study that looks very, very positive. In terms of timing, we're expecting to receive an answer from the FDA on the fourth quarter of this year, with the hope to potentially even get a clearance before the end of the year. In terms of the commercialization part of this is we believe that's going to be a game changer. We believe that, you know, make, shorten the daily visit at the clinic For only a few days, we're talking about six days, instead of four weeks acute phase plus additional two weeks of maintenance treatment, overall six weeks. So you compare six weeks to six days. That's what's really going to make much easier and much more comfortable for patients to come and do this meaningful and important treatment at the clinic. In terms of reimbursement, the current reimbursement is currently allowing up to two treatments per day, so we are actively working on that to try and improve it to match our new protocol for the accelerated in order to continue and expand this new indication in 2026.

speaker
Jeffrey Cohen
Analyst, Lindenburg-Tolman

Okay, got it. That's helpful. And then as a follow-up, secondly, could you talk about the FTEs and the size of the commercial organization and talk about the size over the past year and how they may look into the future?

speaker
Adar Levy
Chief Executive Officer

The FTE? Are you calling to these districts?

speaker
Jeffrey Cohen
Analyst, Lindenburg-Tolman

The full-time employees in the sales organization.

speaker
Adar Levy
Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, okay. So the current sales team is around 16 direct sales folks spread out in the US. However, we do have an additional 10 FCE practice development folks that are responsible for the utilization and supporting all our current customers and new customers with training and installation. So overall, we're speaking about 26 people that are supporting the cells activity.

speaker
Jeffrey Cohen
Analyst, Lindenburg-Tolman

Got it. And then lastly, I didn't hear any commentary regarding TMS360 and the pilot study. Any updates there? Thank you.

speaker
Adar Levy
Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, so the 360, our plan is to launch the 360 with the alcohol use disorder trial, which we plan to launch it in the third quarter, let's say by the end of September. So that will be the first use of the 360 machine. However, we also do some feasibility studies with this machine around cognitive behavior and Parkinson's, so in some qualitative centers in the United States and maybe also in Europe before the end of the year. So I believe this next gen, the 360 machine, will be used one for feasibility studies on some neurology indication, but also it's gonna be the main system for the alcohol use disorder that we're planning to launch during this year.

speaker
Jeffrey Cohen
Analyst, Lindenburg-Tolman

Perfect. Thanks for taking our questions last quarter.

speaker
Adar Levy
Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Jim.

Our next question comes from the line of Carl Burns with Northwind Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

speaker
Carl Burns
Analyst, Northwind Capital Markets

Congratulations on your results. You know, with respect to the backlog, I would imagine that the supermajority of that is from enterprise customers. But if you could elaborate, that would be great. And then also, what was the OCD placements during the quarter, if you can reference that number as well? Thanks.

speaker
Adar Levy
Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, so as you mentioned, you know, we continue to focus on the multi-year lease agreements, but most of them are coming from enterprise accounts. We'll continue to focus on enterprise accounts that are generating – a substantial lease agreement for us, and that's helped us to continue and increase our backlog, the remaining performance obligation, and most important, the visibility for the next, at least for the next year or so. And I'm expecting this momentum to continue and stay very positive. In terms of the OCD, so we shipped 30 OCD systems in the second quarter.

Our next question comes from Raguram Selvaraju from HS Wainwright. Please go ahead.

speaker
Dan (for Raguram Selvaraju)
Analyst, H.S. Wainwright

Good morning. This is Dan on for on. Thanks for taking our questions and congratulations on learning. So we were curious how many about how many more of these strategic financing arrangements are you planning this year? If you have a plan number, what's likely to be the capital outlay for investment? You have a max cap for investment or is it going to be a flat rate moving forward?

speaker
Adar Levy
Chief Executive Officer

Yeah, so thank you for this question. That's going to be a very strategic initiative for the company. We believe that there is a very high interest for this collaboration with growing and profitable mental health networks. The goal, my personal goal and the company goal is to sign at least five contracts before the end of the year, similar to what we announced with Stella MSL. And for 2026 is to have 10 contracts. So overall, we're speaking about potential 15 contracts by the end of 2026. The size of this minority investment could be range between $2 million up to $5 million, depends on the size of the mental health network and the profitability and their plan to expand. So overall, as I said, we are actively speaking with a few players today in the market. And my hope is to hit the target that we set to ourselves to sign five new agreements before the end of the year.

speaker
Dan (for Raguram Selvaraju)
Analyst, H.S. Wainwright

Awesome, that's really exciting. Could you also just qualitatively talk about how the Stella financing arrangement's been working out so far?

speaker
Adar Levy
Chief Executive Officer

Oh, that's, from our perspective, that's a great example of collaboration. So, you know, when we launched this collaboration with Stella, we do what we are used to do. So besides bringing the best technology into their centers, is putting lots of emphasis on educating the centers, training the centers of what is working and what is broken in the process, and how can they yield more patient into this treatment modality. And we're seeing some dramatic increase in the utilization. I think we're seeing over 50% increase in the utilization for TMS patients at Stella MSO Clinic. And that's fantastic. And, you know, I really believe on the experience and the playbook that my team already administered with Stella, and that's our plan to do the same thing with all the future collaboration with other mental health networks.

speaker
Dan (for Raguram Selvaraju)
Analyst, H.S. Wainwright

That sounds awesome. Thank you so much.
