Key Takeaways for Investors

• Balance sheet de-risking: The extinguishment of ~$32M in debt and improved equity position reduces financial overhang and should lower perceived balance sheet risk heading into the pivotal trial’s final stage .
• Regulatory momentum as the core catalyst: FDA approval to expand the pivotal trial and quick restart of enrollment are the primary near-term value drivers; updates on enrollment cadence and data will likely move the stock .
• Capital runway: Cash was $3.556M at Q3-end, with post-quarter capital actions (registered direct offering of up to $16M) helping bridge to key clinical milestones; watch for timing/size of cash inflows versus trial burn .
• Fundamentals remain secondary: With revenue at $42k, P&L beats/misses are less material to the equity narrative than clinical, regulatory, and financing updates; both revenue and EPS missed consensus this quarter .
• Expense mix evolution: R&D declined YoY, consistent with transition from development to clinical trial phase; G&A rose due to public company and offering-related costs—monitor for normalization post financing events .
• IP moat expanding: Additional U.S., Europe, and Australia patents support first-mover narrative in fully implanted devices, potentially strengthening competitive positioning ahead of commercialization .
• Trading setup: Into upcoming trial milestones and funding updates, the stock likely trades on clinical/regulatory headlines and balance sheet visibility rather than near-term operating metrics .
