“We are pleased with our significant progress in the second quarter of 2024, highlighted by record sales and the announcement of Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (“CMS”) national Medicare pricing determination for our Ekso Indego Personal device,” said Scott Davis, Chief Executive Officer of Ekso Bionics. “With the Medicare reimbursement mechanisms in place, we are focused on reaching a larger U.S. population of individuals living with a spinal cord injury (“SCI”) and anticipate increased demand for Ekso Indego Personal in the second half of the year and longer term. Additionally, we are proud that our legacy EksoNR is chosen as the standard of care for neurorehabilitation by many leading network operators as we believe key stakeholders recognize the clinical and economic value of our innovative device. Looking ahead, we will continue to execute upon our scalable commercial strategy to drive growth while bringing transformational benefits to patients across the continuum of care.”

The increase in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in the average selling price for the EksoNR and lower EksoHealth device and service costs.

Sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $1.8 million, compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2023. The 21% decrease was primarily due to lower headcount and consultant costs.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $1.1 million, compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2023. The 20% decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the use of third-party product development consultants and lower discretionary payroll costs.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $2.0 million, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2023. The 28% decrease was primarily due to lower discretionary payroll, consultant, and legal costs.

Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $2.3 million, compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2023. The 12% decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the use of third-party product development consultants and lower discretionary payroll costs.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $4.3 million, compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2023. The 29% decrease was primarily due to the absence of costs associated with the acquisition and integration of Human Motion Control (“HMC”) in the comparable period, and lower discretionary payroll, consultant and legal costs.
