• “This will be the first fully implantable CBGM… offering differentiated benefits of accuracy, convenience and independence for patients.” — Paul V. Goode, PhD .

Appointments reinforcing execution:

• CFO Peter Wulff (35+ years in life sciences finance), VP Regulatory Ted Williams (Class III regulatory pathways), VP Clinical Ops Sandie Martha (20+ years trials leadership), and MAB appointment of Dr. Guillermo Umpierrez (former ADA president) .

Q&A Highlights

• No Q4’24 earnings call transcript available; investor communications were via the 8‑K press release (Exhibit 99.1). The company emphasized clinical progress, financing runway, and 2025 milestones .

Estimates Context

• S&P Global consensus estimates for Q4’24 and FY’24 EPS and revenue were unavailable for GCTK at the time of query; no coverage was returned for EPS, revenue, target price, or recommendation.
• S&P Global reported actual EBITDA values of $(3.84)M (Q4’24) and $(14.51)M (FY’24).*
  *Values retrieved from S&P Global.

Implication: Limited sell-side coverage and pre-revenue status reduce estimate visibility; near-term revisions likely hinge on clinical data disclosures, regulatory progress, and financing cadence .

Key Takeaways for Investors

• Clinical de-risking: First-in-human acute study completed with favorable safety/performance signals; ISO 13485 certification strengthens regulatory posture — positive for device viability and trial execution .
• Funding momentum: $16.3M raised post-Q4 supports 2025 milestones; pro forma equity turns positive, reducing near-term balance sheet risk though continued access to capital remains critical .
• 2025 catalysts: AU feasibility start (Q2’25), IDE for U.S. pilot (Q4’25), and data presentations; these are likely the primary stock-moving events. Position sizing should reflect regulatory timing risk .
• Expense trajectory: R&D and G&A stepped up materially in FY’24; monitor OpEx discipline vs. milestone delivery to gauge burn and runway extension need .
• Coverage gap: Sparse consensus estimates and no Q4 call reduce near-term price discovery; watch for incremental disclosures (trial enrollment, device performance, regulatory feedback) to drive thesis updates .
• Listing/compliance: Prior Nasdaq risks were highlighted in 2024; capital raises and pro forma equity improvement should help, but sustained compliance hinges on continued financing and execution .
• Trading implications: Near-term moves likely tied to clinical posters/publications and financing announcements; medium-term thesis depends on IDE acceptance, feasibility outcomes, and manufacturing/regulatory scale-up .
