Business Wire --Total revenue of $22.1 million-- -- Raises full year 2026 guidance to $99 million to $101 million, up from $98 million to $100 million previously-- --Assumes 21% to 23% growth in core RNS® revenue from existing indications, excluding any contribution from idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) indication expansion-- --Continues to expect IGE contribution following potential NAUTILUS PMA-Supplement (PMA-S) approval in mid-2026-- NeuroPace, Inc. (Nasdaq: NPCE), a medical device company focused on transforming the lives of people living with epilepsy, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a corporate update. First Quarter 2026 Highlights Total revenue of $22.1 million in the quarter. Excluding DIXI Medical, total revenue of $22.0 million representing 20.1% year over year growth RNS System revenue of $21.7 million in the quarter, representing 19.5% year over year growth GAAP net loss in the first quarter of 2026 was ($6.7) million compared to ($6.6) million in the first quarter of 2025 Adjusted EBITDA loss, excluding DIXI Medical, of ($3.3) million for the first quarter of 2026, an improvement of $0.8 million compared to a loss of ($4.1) million in the first quarter of 2025 Completed the FDA mid-cycle review meeting for the NAUTILUS PMA supplement, consistent with the expected regulatory timeline Reached new all-time highs in active prescribers, accounts and patient pipeline “First quarter results reflect continued execution against the strategic priorities we outlined earlier this year,” said Joel Becker, Chief Executive Officer of NeuroPace. “We remain focused on driving disciplined growth in our core RNS business, advancing our product roadmap, and progressing toward potential indication expansion, all while strengthening the operational foundation of the Company. We continue to progress NAUTILUS through the regulatory review process and remain encouraged by the totality of the dataset supporting the IGE indication expansion.” First Quarter 2026 Financial Results Non-GAAP revenue in the first quarter of 2026 grew 20.1% to $22.0 million, compared with $18.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Company’s revenue growth was primarily driven by increased sales of the RNS System which totaled $21.7 million in the first quarter of 2026, representing growth of 19.5% compared to the first quarter of 2025. On a GAAP basis, total revenue of $22.1 million included $0.1 million of revenue attributable to DIXI Medical. Beginning this quarter, the Company reports gross margin and operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis, excluding DIXI Medical and stock-based compensation, for each respective line item. This presentation is intended to provide greater transparency into the underlying operating performance of the business, enhance visibility into operating leverage, and improve comparability across periods. Total stock-based compensation by line item, along with reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, are included at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 82.5%, compared with 83.6% in the first quarter of 2025 which included a one-time benefit of 120 basis points from an inventory revaluation. The underlying year-over-year improvement, absent one-time items, is primarily due to improved manufacturing efficiency and increasing average selling price resulting from strong pricing conversion. Total GAAP gross margin in the first quarter of 2026 was 81.8%. Non-GAAP operating expenses in the first quarter of 2026 were $21.5 million, compared with $19.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. GAAP operating expenses in the first quarter of 2026 were $23.6 million. Non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, excluding DIXI Medical, in the first quarter of 2026 was $11.0 million, compared with $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase was largely due to personnel-related expenses associated with ongoing scaling of commercial activities, investment in direct-to-consumer marketing and other sales-related expenses. Non-GAAP research and development expense in the first quarter of 2026 was $6.5 million, compared with $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower clinical study expense partially offset by an increase in personnel-related expenses associated with the development of a next-generation platform and AI-enabled tools. Non-GAAP general and administrative expense in the first quarter of 2026 was $4.0 million compared with $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related expenses. Non-GAAP loss from operations was ($3.3) million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with loss from operations of ($4.1) million in the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP net loss was ($4.4) million for the first quarter of 2026 compared with net loss of ($5.6) million in the first quarter of 2025. GAAP net loss in the first quarter of 2026 was ($6.7) million. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash balance as of March 31, 2026 was $54.8 million compared with $61.2 million at the end of the prior quarter. Long-term borrowings totaled $59.0 million as of March 31, 2026. Discontinued Operations The Company expects to report DIXI Medical related operating results as discontinued operations beginning with its second quarter 2026 financial results. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s continuing operations results will exclude the impact of DIXI Medical for the 2026 reporting periods and applicable comparable periods presented. Full Year 2026 Financial Guidance on a Continuing Operations Basis Increase total revenue for full year 2026 to be between $99 million and $101 million, representing underlying RNS growth of 21% to 23% compared to full year 2025. This compares to previously issued guidance of $98 million to $100 million, representing underlying RNS growth of 20% to 22%, excludes any contribution from idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) indication expansion. Reiterate full year non-GAAP gross margin between 81.5% and 82.5% Reiterate full year non-GAAP operating expenses to be between $90 million and $92 million, excluding approximately $10 million in stock-based compensation, a non-cash expense Increase Adjusted EBITDA to be between ($8.5) and ($9.5) million compared to previous guidance between ($9.0) million to ($10.0) million Non-GAAP Measure To supplement NeuroPace’s condensed financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP cost of goods sold, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP loss from operations. NeuroPace believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures enhances the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s historical financial performance. The presentation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the Company’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Operational & Strategic Highlights
Submitted PMA-S to FDA seeking expanded RNS System indication IGE. The PMA-S was supported by clinically meaningful and statistically significant 18-month results from the NAUTILUS trial, which demonstrated robust 77% median seizure reduction and a favorable safety profile in this highly refractory patient population
Received favorable reimbursement updates in both the CY 2026 Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) Final Rule, increasing the average hospital Medicare reimbursement for RNS System replacements by 47% beginning January 1, 2026 and the CY2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS), increasing by approximately 43% for initial implant procedure and 45% for the replacement procedure
Submitted Seizure ID™ to the FDA for review. Seizure ID is the first of a suite of planned NeuroPace AI™ tools designed to further improve clinical outcomes through deeper data insights along with enhanced and accelerated iEEG review. Built on years of proprietary, patient-level brain data captured through the RNS System, Seizure ID empowers clinicians to be supported in making faster, more confident treatment decisions.
Showcased new clinical and AI-driven advances at the American Epilepsy Society (AES) meeting that underscored the Company’s focus on delivering life-changing outcomes and enabling physicians to provide more confident, data-informed care for people living with epilepsy. The RNS System was featured in over 80 scientific presentations and posters, the most of any neuromodulation therapy.
Entered into an amendment to the Distribution Agreement with DIXI Medical to end the wind down period and cease commercial partnership activities on December 31, 2025, earlier than the previously agreed wind down period ending March 31, 2026
Reached new all-time highs in both prescribers, accounts and patient pipeline
“2025 marked an important execution year for NeuroPace, with strong growth and significant improvement toward cash flow break-even, increasing focus on our core RNS business, and meaningful progress across our strategic priorities,” said Joel Becker, Chief Executive Officer of NeuroPace. “Looking ahead, we believe 2026 has the potential to be a transformational year for the Company, as we build on commercial momentum, prepare for indication expansion, and launch as well as advance new products that expand the reach and impact of personalized neuromodulation.”
Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 grew 24% to $26.6 million, compared with $21.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company’s revenue growth was primarily driven by increased sales of the RNS System which totaled $22.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing growth of 26% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 77.4%, compared with 75.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 77.4% in the third quarter of 2025. The year-over-year improvement is primarily due to increasing revenue contribution from higher margin RNS revenue, benefit from improved manufacturing efficiency, and increasing average selling price resulting from strong pricing conversion. RNS gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 80.5%, compared with 80.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $22.3 million, compared with $19.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Sales and marketing expense in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $10.9 million, compared with $10.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was largely due to personnel-related expenses associated with ongoing scaling of commercial activities, investment in direct-to-consumer marketing and other sales related expenses.
Research and development expense in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $7.0 million, compared with $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by personnel-related expenses associated with the development of a next-generation platform, AI-enabled tools, and ongoing clinical trials.
General and administrative expense in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $4.4 million compared with $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related expenses.
Loss from operations was ($1.8) million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with loss from operations of ($3.7) million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Net loss was ($2.7) million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared with net loss of ($5.3) million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance as of December 31, 2025 was $61.1 million compared with $60.0 million at the end of the prior quarter. Long-term borrowings totaled $58.9 million as of December 31, 2025.
Full Year 2025 Financial Results
Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 grew 25% to $100.0 million, compared with $79.9 million in 2024. The Company’s revenue growth was primarily driven by increased sales of the RNS System, which totaled $81.7 million for the full year 2025, representing growth of 25% compared to 2024.
Gross margin for the year was 77.2%, compared with 73.9% in 2024. The year-over-year improvement is primarily due to increasing revenue contribution from higher margin RNS revenue, benefit from improved manufacturing efficiency, and favorable pricing. RNS gross margin for the year was 81.9%, compared with 78.4% in 2024.
Total operating expenses for the year were $93.6 million, compared with $80.8 million in 2024.
Sales and marketing expense for the year was $46.6 million, compared with $39.7 million in 2024. The year-over-year increase was largely due to personnel-related expenses associated with ongoing scaling of commercial activities, increased variable compensation due to sales performance, investment in direct-to-consumer marketing and other sales related expenses.
Research and development expense for the year was $27.9 million, compared with $23.7 million in 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by personnel-related expenses as well as lower grant funding received compared to 2024.
General and administrative expense for the year was $19.1 million compared with $17.4 million in 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related expenses, including non-recurring items related to executive transition in the second quarter of 2025.
Discontinued Operations
The Company expects to begin reporting its DIXI Medical related financial results as a discontinued operation beginning with its first quarter 2026 financial results and in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s continuing operations basis will exclude the impact of DIXI for both the 2026 reporting periods and the applicable comparable periods presented. Refer to Table 4 for selected historical DIXI Medical related operating results, including revenue, gross profit and operating expenses.
Full Year 2026 Financial Guidance on a Continuing Operations Basis
Total revenue guidance for full year 2026 to be between $98 million and $100 million, representing underlying RNS growth of 20% to 22% compared to full year 2025
Total revenue for first quarter 2026 to be between $21 million and $22 million
Non-GAAP gross margin to be between 81.5% and 82.5%, excluding $0.5 million in stock-based compensation, a non-cash expense. Including stock-based compensation, GAAP gross margin to be between 81% and 82%.
Total non-GAAP operating expenses to be between $90 million and $92 million, excluding approximately $10 million in stock-based compensation, a non-cash expense. Including stock-based compensation, GAAP operating expenses range between $100 million and $102 million.
Adjusted EBITDA to be between ($9.0) and ($10.0) million
Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, the Company will present gross margin and operating expenses on an adjusted basis, excluding stock-based compensation, for each line item. This change is intended to provide greater transparency into the underlying operating performance of the business, enhance the visibility of our operating leverage, and improve comparability across periods. The Company will continue to disclose stock-based compensation and provide appropriate reconciliations to GAAP results.
Non-GAAP Measure
To supplement NeuroPace’s condensed financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP cost of goods sold, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP loss from operations. NeuroPace believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures enhances the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s historical financial performance. The presentation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the Company’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
GAAP to Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Information
The Company has included supplemental reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with additional insight into the performance of its core business.
Table 1 presents a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures excluding DIXI Medical related operating results. Management believes this presentation provides a more meaningful basis for evaluating period over period performance of the Company’s continuing operations and core RNS business. Beginning in 2026, the Company’s reported continuing operations results will be compared against these 2025 continuing operations amounts for year over year analysis.
Table 2 presents the Company’s 2026 financial guidance on a continuing operations basis. This table reflects, gross margin, and operating expense ranges excluding the impact of DIXI Medical. Operating expense guidance is presented by functional line item and includes stock-based compensation expense within each respective category. These non-GAAP expense line items will be the primary focus of the Company’s reporting and performance evaluation framework going forward, providing greater transparency into the cost structure of the continuing operations. Together with revenue and gross margin, these line items form the basis for the Company’s projected Adjusted EBITDA.
Table 3 presents a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the periods presented. Both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures in this table include DIXI Medical related operating results.
Table 4 presents selected historical DIXI Medical related operating results, including revenue, gross profit and operating expenses, to provide transparency into the financial contribution from DIXI Medical related operations prior to its classification as discontinued operations.
