Q & A Highlights

Q: Why have your results been so positive to date, and what is the measuring stick for clinical success for epilepsy? A: Dave Rosa, CEO, explained that the success is due to the use of the same device for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, allowing for a single hospitalization. The measuring stick for success is typically one year post-surgery seizure-free or a significant reduction in seizures. Currently, one patient has been seizure-free for over nine months.

Q: You reported a strong product gross margin of almost 60% in Q1, but your guidance for the year is 47% to 51%. Are these margins sustainable long term? A: Dave Rosa, CEO, stated that the margins of 47% to 51% are sustainable. The higher margin in Q1 was due to NeuroOne commercializing the technology directly before finalizing the agreement with Zimmer Biomet. The expected margins for the year are within the provided guidance range.

Q: What does NeuroOne need to do before submitting the 510(k) application for facial pain, and how long is the expected FDA review? A: Dave Rosa, CEO, mentioned that remaining testing such as sterilization and packaging is required before submission. The application process has already started, and based on past experience, FDA review could take about five months, though this is not guaranteed.

Q: What are the financial highlights from the first quarter of fiscal 2025? A: Ron McClurg, CFO, reported record product sales of $3.3 million, a 235% increase from the previous year, and a product gross margin of 58.9%. Total revenue, including license revenue, was $6.3 million. Operating expenses decreased by 12%, and the company reported a net income of $1.8 million compared to a net loss in the previous year.

Q: How does the partnership with Zimmer Biomet impact NeuroOne's growth and profitability? A: Dave Rosa, CEO, highlighted that the partnership with Zimmer Biomet, which includes exclusive distribution rights for the OneRF Ablation System, is expected to boost revenue and profitability due to improved transfer prices and Zimmer's extensive distribution network.
