Kyle Rose's questions to Neuronetics Inc (STIM) leadership • Q3 2024
Question
Kyle Rose of Piper Sandler inquired about the reasons for the 2024 full-year guidance reduction and its implications for 2025. He also asked if Neuronetics remains committed to its mid-teens growth target for the combined entity in 2025 and 2026.
Answer
CFO Stephen Furlong explained the guidance reduction stems from changing customer purchasing patterns due to earlier reimbursement issues, leading to historically low inventory levels. He noted that while system utilization remains strong, the recent commercial restructuring to prioritize profitability will impact Q4 revenue. Furlong stated that the primary focus is now on achieving cash flow breakeven by Q3 2025, which may come at the expense of top-line growth, making the previous mid-teens growth target a secondary goal.
