U.S. treatment session revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $12.9 million, a decrease of 14% compared to $14.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.The decline was primarily driven by the elimination of $1.1million in treatment session revenue to Greenbrook subsequent to the acquisition U.S. clinic revenue, which represents revenue generated by Greenbrook, was $4.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 66.2%, a decrease of approximately 1,140 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2023 gross margin of 77.6%.

Operating expenses during the fourth quarter of 2024 were $25.8 million, an increase of $5.6 million, or 28%, compared to $20.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, mainly attributable to professional fees incurred related to the Greenbrook acquisition, and the inclusion of Greenbrook's expenses subsequent to the acquisition.

Neuronetics and Greenbrook TMS Transaction Closed
Effective as of December 9, 2024, Neuronetics successfully completed its acquisition of Greenbrook TMS Inc., creating a transformative combination in mental health therapy delivery. The transaction united Neuronetics' NeuroStar technology platform with Greenbrook's network of 95 treatment clinics across the United States. Concurrent with closing, Neuronetics secured an additional $10 million tranche from its Perceptive credit facility to support the combined enterprise operations. The integration planning teams have already made significant progress in implementing strategic initiatives aimed at driving profitable growth and recognizing operational cost synergies, of which the actions to realize over $21 million of the targeted $22 million in expected annualized cost synergies have been executed. The remaining synergies are expected to be fully acted upon and captured during 2025.
FDA Clearance as a First-Line Add-On Treatment for Adolescents with Depression
In March 2024, Neuronetics received U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA”) clearance for its NeuroStar Advanced Therapy as the first and only transcranial magnetic stimulation ("TMS”) treatment cleared as a first line, adjunct for major depressive disorder ("MDD”) in adolescents aged 15-21. The FDA clearance was supported by real-world data from the Company's TrakStar database showing 78% of adolescent patients treated with NeuroStar achieved clinically meaningful improvement in their depression severity. This clearance opened up a new treatment option for the large adolescent MDD patient population that had extremely limited FDA-approved treatment options available previously. With the addition of the adolescent indication, Neuronetics' total addressable market for MDD increased by approximately 35% to 29.3 million patients.
Strategic Financing Strengthens Balance Sheet
Subsequent to quarter end, Neuronetics successfully completed an $18.9 million public offering of common stock, strengthening the Company's financial position and providing additional flexibility to execute on key growth initiatives. This financing enhances the Company's ability to potentially accelerate high-return programs such as the SPRAVATO buy-and-bill expansion, accelerate BMP implementation across the broader network, and enhance capabilities - all while maintaining the Company's projected timeline to be cash flow positive in the third quarter of 2025.
Business Outlook
For the first quarter of 2025, the Company expects total worldwide revenue between $28.0 million and $30.0 million.
For the full year 2025, the Company expects total worldwide revenue to be between $145.0 million and $155.0 million.
For the full year 2025, the Company expects gross margin to be approximately 55%.
For the full year 2025, the Company expects total operating expenses to be between $90.0 million and $98.0 million.
