Myomo, Inc. Price & Performance (MYO)

Except as required by law, Myomo undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this call today, 03/10/2025. It's now my pleasure to turn the call over to Myomo CEO, Paul Gudonis. Paul, please go ahead. Thanks, Terrence, and good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for joining us. 2024 was a transformational year for Myomo, capped off by a milestone fourth quarter as we generated record financial and operating results by capitalizing upon market access for patients covered by Medicare Part B. After several years of discussions with CMS staff and medical directors, Medicare began paying for the MyoPro powered arm brace for medically qualified patients beginning April one of last year. This resulted in an inflection point for our business as we gained the ability to serve roughly 50% of the market that we had previously turned away. During our last quarterly conference call, I laid out three major objectives for the company. One, to start providing the MyoPro to eligible standard Medicare Part B beneficiaries. Two, to engage the many orthotics and prosthetics clinics across the because of the CMS decision, would now be interested in becoming a distribution channel for us And three, begin the process of establishing contracts with payers for in network status of our direct provider business.

I added two other objectives to support our growth plans and create a profitable business year. Increase our capacity, from our call center to manufacturing operations and clinical reimbursement staff to enable continued volume and revenue growth in 2025 and beyond, and to achieve cash flow breakeven by the end of the year as our revenue scale up. Today, I'm delighted to share the progress we've made on each of these objectives starting with a review of our Q4 accomplishments and full year results. Revenues were $12,100,000 for the fourth quarter and $32,600,000 for the full year more than double the quarterly revenue in Q4 'twenty three at 69% higher revenue than the previous year. We delivered two twenty revenue units in the quarter, double the volume of Q4 'twenty three and more than 600 devices during the year.

We've now provided Miomold products to more than 3,000 patients and hospital customers solidifying our position as the market leader in the upper extremity paralysis category. During Q4, we added six fifty seven medical qualified candidates to our patient pipeline we ended the year with a record number of nearly 1,400 patients in the process [indiscernible] A record two thirty three Myopros were authorized and ordered in Q4 with more than 140 of them covered by Medicare in our direct provider channel. With greater clarity on reimbursement, we built a team of business development specialists and clinical trainers to engage these O and P clinics This effort exceeded our expectations with 160 certified prosthodontist trained far outpacing our goal of 100. These CPOs can now begin assessing patients and building their own MyoPro pipelines. One sign of progress in establishing this new channel is that our O and P revenue grew to $600,000 in Q4 up 94% sequentially as more O and P clinics began the process of becoming Myoprol's center of excellence. Our international business, which is primarily sales by O and P providers in Germany, [indiscernible] performed well in the quarter. Again generating over $1,000,000 in profitable revenue and over $4,000,000 for the full year.

Our China JV is working on a clinical trial to obtain regulatory approval to begin selling the Myomo products to patients and hospitals later this year. Building out the OTP distribution channel is a critical part of our long term strategy. While Myomo's direct provider model allows us to work directly with patients and insurers, the O and P channel provides a scalable way to expand reach and drive adoption through an established clinical network. The demand from OMP clinics is increasing as they recognize MyoPro as a complementary solution for their patient base. We're supporting these partners through several methods hands on clinical training and certification, As I mentioned, we exceeded our initial goal by training 160 CPOs in 2024 and we expect to further scale this effort in 2025. With improved reimbursement clarity greater understanding of Medicare coverage has led O and P clinics now having a clearer pathway to secure payment for the MyoPro and through dedicated field support, we've deployed a team of business development specialists clinical trainers to help OMP clinics onboard patients navigate reimbursement, optimize delivery processes. Although this channel is still in its early stages, we expect O and P driven revenue to increase meaningfully in the second half of twenty twenty five as more clinics begin generating orders.

Importantly, the high touch nature of O and P clinics means that patients can receive in person evaluations, measurements and fittings leading to a convenient adoption process. While reimbursement for patients covered by standard fee for service Medicare Part B is going well, we still see too many patients being denied The situation has not improved over the last three to six months and reflects the same reality other healthcare providers face with these payers. Our Chief Medical Officer and Legal Counsel, will continue to make the case for coverage by engaging with payer medical directors and by advocating for patients by filing appeals [indiscernible] and taking denials all the way to administrative law judge hearings where we've been successful making a case for medical necessity and a favorable ruling for the patient's Niopril. On the payer front, my third objective for the business was to enter into contracts with health insurance plans so that Myomo can be an in network provider our direct billing business.

We continue to make progress obtaining payer contracts Since our third quarter call, five new contracts have been entered into or in the final stages of taking effect. These new contracts are primarily state Blue Cross Blue Shield plans and altogether we now have signed and pending contracts covering approximately 18,600,000 lives. As for the two additional goals I set for the company, here's how we've done. We relocated operations from Downtown Boston to a new 35,000 square foot facility in suburban [indiscernible] increased our manufacturing capacity to 120 units per month, more than doubling since the beginning of twenty twenty four. This enables us to reduce MyoPro revenue units, clinical evaluation units and the demo units we need to support our growing internal staff and the OMP channel. We also hired 100 people during the past year bringing our year end headcount to 190 and we plan to continue hiring to expand capacity to serve a larger number of patients this year. I'll wrap up by pointing out that we overachieved in our fifth objective to become operating cash flow breakeven by Q4 and we completed a successful capital raise to fund our growth plans in 2025 beyond. I'll let our CFO, Dave Henry, provide the details on these financials.

Dave? Thank you, Paul, and good afternoon, everyone. Me start my remarks with a review of our fourth quarter financial results Revenue for the fourth quarter of twenty twenty four was a record $12,100,000 a represents a 154% increase versus the prior year quarter and was driven by a higher number of revenue units and a higher ASP.

I note that revenue for both periods consisted entirely of product revenue. Our growth was fueled by record revenues from patients with Medicare Part B coverage and record international revenues. We delivered a record two twenty Myomo revenue units during the quarter up 106% year over year reflecting the higher velocity of revenues particularly from patients with Medicare Part B. A record 78 revenue units came from authorizations and orders received in fourth quarter. Our average selling price or ASP increased 24% versus the prior year to approximately $54,900 This figure is down slightly from the atypically high ASP in third quarter. Medicare Part B patients represented 57% of total revenue in fourth quarter, up from 55% of revenue in third quarter. Highlighting our continued success in educating this patient population. Medicare Advantage revenue grew 4% year over year representing 22% of fourth quarter revenue. But we continue to face challenges with first time authorizations and denials. The Medicare Advantage appeals process remains slow and frequently requires us to escalate cases to administrative law judge hearings.

To address these hurdles, we are strengthening our payer engagement strategy, advocating for expanding coverage with medical directors collaborating with trade groups regarding coverage deficiencies Medicare Advantage organizations. For Medicare Part B and certain commercial payers, recognizing revenue at the time of MyoPro delivery in the amount expected to be paid by both the primary and supplemental insurance payer with the exception of Medicaid. Medicare Advantage payers are in most cases reimbursing us based on the fees published by CMS. Encouragingly, 90% of our fourth quarter product revenue was recognized at either shipment or delivery, compared with 79% in the fourth quarter of twenty twenty three, reflecting a more predictable revenue cycle as reimbursement processes become more established. 81% of our revenue in the fourth quarter came from the direct billing channel, compared with 65% in the prior year quarter. International revenue was a record $1,500,000 in the fourth quarter, representing 12% of quarterly revenue primarily from Germany. In the fourth quarter of twenty twenty four, both pipeline additions and the total pipeline reached new records. The pipeline stood at thirteen eighty nine patients at the end of the fourth quarter an increase of 33% year over year. In fourth quarter alone, we added a record six fifty seven new patients is up 72% from the prior year's fourth quarter. 33% of fourth quarter pipeline additions were Medicare Part B patient and 18% of the quarter end pipeline.

For Medicare Part B patients. This reflects the increased velocity and moving Medicare patients through the process of attaining Myomo as compared with payers that require pre authorizations.

Backlog represents insurance authorizations and orders received but not yet converted to revenue and in the case of Medicare Part B patients, those patients for whom we have collected medical records and deemed qualified for delivery based on our inclusion criteria. We ended the quarter with backlog of two seventy two patients up 18% versus the prior year. [indiscernible] This includes 101 Medicare Part B patients have been qualified for delivery with appropriate medical documentation.

Contributing to our backlog, we received a record two thirty three and orders during the fourth quarter an increase of 27% year over year. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of twenty twenty four was 71.4%, compared with 65.3% for the prior year quarter. The increase was driven primarily by a higher ASP higher fixed cost absorption. Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter were $8,900,000 up 60% over the fourth quarter of twenty twenty three. This increase was driven primarily by higher headcount throughout the organization as we increased capacity, higher R and D expenses and higher incentive compensation accruals. Advertising expense declined 6% year over year to about $800,000 reflecting typical fourth quarter cutbacks. Cost per pipeline ad fell 46% to $12.24 dollars reflecting greater efficiency in performing initial patients evaluations. Operating loss for the fourth quarter narrowed to $200,000 compared with a $2,400,000 operating loss in the prior year quarter.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of twenty twenty four was $300,000 or $0.01 per share. This compares with a net loss of $2,500,000 or $0.07 per share for the fourth quarter of twenty twenty three. [indiscernible] Approximately 7,100,000 pre funded warrants are still outstanding from our offerings in 2023 and January 2024. These prefunded warrants are considered common stock equivalents under GAAP and are included on our weighted average shares outstanding. A highlight for the quarter was achieving positive adjusted EBITDA we reached for the first time in our history. Adjusted EBITDA was about $200,000 a significant improvement for the fourth quarter of twenty twenty three.

Looking at our full year financial results, revenue for 2024 totaled $32,600,000 up 69% from 2023.

Excluding license fees in 2023, product revenue increased 86%. Our gross margin in 2024 was 71.2% Our up from 68.5% in 2023. Excluding license fees, gross margin on product revenue was 65.3% in 2023.

Operating expenses for 2024 were $29,400,000 an increase of 37% compared with 2023.

Operating loss for 2024 was $6,200,000 versus an operating loss of $8,200,000 in 2023. Net loss was $6,200,000 dollars or $0.16 per share and this compares with a net loss of $8,100,000 or $0.28 per share for 2023. Adjusted EBITDA improved to a negative $5,100,000 for 2020 compared with a negative $7,000,000 for 2023.

Turning to our balance sheet and cash flows of key financial milestone for 2024 was achieving positive operating cash flow breakeven in in fourth quarter. I'm pleased to report that we achieved that objective of $3,400,000 in cash from operations in the fourth quarter and free cash flow of $2,500,000 We define the latter as cash provided by operations less capital expenditures. Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of 12/31/2024 were $24,900,000 Additionally, we maintain a $4,000,000 accounts receivable credit line, which is currently on draw. In February, we entered into an amendment to our line of credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. In addition to changes to increase availability under the line, we also entered into a $3,000,000 term loan facility can be drawn at any time until 02/28/2026. We believe our cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

Looking ahead, our financial guidance for 2025 reflects expectation for continued strong growth and further strategic investments in scaling operations.

Q1 revenue is expected to be between $9,000,000 and 9,500,000.0 reflecting typical seasonality yet expected to be up 140% to 153% over the prior year. For the full year, we're introducing guidance for 2025 revenue to be $50,000,000 to $53,000,000 representing growth of 54% to 66% over 2024. The proceeds from our financing in December 2024 are being December twenty twenty four are being invested in growing our direct provider channel, which we control, while we work on accelerating revenue growth in the O and P channel. We expect to nearly double our advertising expenses in 2025 to over $6,000,000 our clinical reimbursement and operations functions to help us serve a larger number of patients. Patients obtained through our higher advertising budget, are not expected to generate revenue until the second half of twenty twenty five. So our revenue profile is expected to be weighted toward the second half of the year compared to the first half. From a cash standpoint, we expect negative cash flows in the first three quarters of twenty twenty five the second quarter being the highest third quarter due to incentive compensation payment. However, should we meet our revenue objectives, anticipate a return to positive operating cash flow by fourth quarter twenty twenty five.

With that financial overview, I'll turn the call back to Paul. Thanks, Dave. Myomo is at the forefront of a new and expanding category of robotic orthotics upper limb paralysis. With over 3,000 patients served, we are the clear leader in this space and several factors strengthen our position. First, our proprietary mileage control system allows users to regain arm mobility based on their own neural signals offering level functionality that traditional static or BOCES can't match. Second, our multi channel marketing strategies which expands direct billing, Olmec clinics and international distribution creates a broad footprint that's difficult for new entrants to replicate The regulatory approvals, commercial operations, reimbursement traction and clinical expertise we have built give us a strong first mover advantage. Lastly, our commitment to innovation ensures that we stay ahead.

We're actively investing in R and D to build the next generation MyoPro platform that will improve functional capabilities and open new patient populations in the future. For these reasons and more, we believe Myomo is well positioned to sustain its leadership as this market grows. As we look ahead, several key growth drivers position us for continued success. Demand for Medicare Part B and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries is expected to increase with more awareness Our OP adoption will accelerate as more clinics complete training, establish their own MyoPro patient pipeline. We are increasing efforts to educate more patients, families and clinicians about our solution for chronic arm paralysis As Dave mentioned, we expect to nearly double our advertising spend to more than $6,000,000 this year This should result in more leads coming to our website and call center a growing number of new candidates entering the patient pipeline. [indiscernible] Since it can take four to six months or longer sometimes, for patients to go through the process of obtaining Myomo, we expect our orders in revenue to grow more significantly the second half of the year. We also expect owned people orders to grow in the second half as more centers of excellence are trained on the MyoPro They build their patient pipelines and go through the revenue cycle process to the Wilbur Myomo to their patients.

We're supporting these O and P clinics with more training sessions and in person support across the country. We had a very large turnout of Hanger clinicians at the educational sessions we conducted in January at Hanger's National Clinical Meeting. This year will also benefit from a 2.4% price increase that CMS published as of January 1, bringing the Medicare allowables to $67,453 for the 90% of our unit volume, and $34,284 for the Motion W model. With that, update an overview of our plans for Operator?

We will now begin the question and answer session.

And before we turn to your questions, I want to announce that we'll be hosting our first ever Investor in Analyst Day on June 18. This event will be held at our new facility here in Burlington, Massachusetts and among other things, it will allow for a firsthand look at our operations as well as the opportunity to meet members of our executive team learn about the impact Myomo is having on patients. We'll be announcing the details in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, if you're interested in attending, please contact our CFO, Dave Henry, or Tirth Patel at Alliance Advisors IR who can reserve a spot for you. Event will also be available via webcast. Today, operator, we're ready for the first question.

And the first question comes from Chase Nikerbochner with Craig Hallum. Please go ahead.

Good afternoon, Paul and Dave. Congrats on the great quarter and guide here. Just first from me, can you just walk through your assumptions on unit or revenue contribution channel? Maybe what percentage of either of those items And then can you just share what goals you have for that channel in '25? Is it clinician trained like last year or is it ordering clinicians? Just walk us through what we should be benchmarking you to?

Well, we plan to still have more of our revenue coming from our direct provider business. And we are expanding that. We recently hired a few more CPOs around the country plus other clinical support staff. And we're investing, as I mentioned earlier, in doubling the advertising spend So that channel which as Dave said, we control and we manage it, that will continue to grow significantly this year. And the O and P channel will start to see already these green shoots. We saw revenues double from Q3 to Q4 of last year. We had 160 train commissions at the end of the year. We've got more trainings already planned and ongoing. So we expect that channel will kick in, but the majority of revenue will still come out of our direct provider channel. The in this coming year.

Yes. And I guess financially, I mean, O and P revenue for this year, I would say, was maybe a little over $1,000,000 something somewhere in that neighborhood. And so I would we haven't given not giving specific guidance on what we think the O and P channel will look like. But we do expect meaningful growth I would say, in that channel in 2025.

Got it. And then on the direct business, how quick can you ramp advertising spend, maybe give us a look at what you kind of expect from a spend perspective in Q1? And then as we think about pipeline additions, I mean really, really efficient marketing spend in Q4. I mean do you expect that kind of efficiency to continue or kind of walk us through how we should think about that?

Think you asked your second question first. I think on the cost per pipeline add, I think I think it's too early to tell as to whether that will continue. To be a bit low. We are working through some changes that Meta made with Facebook and we're seeing how those changes are affecting us. We call we went through this, I don't know if you recall, but we went through this a couple of years ago. I think right now, I think things are on track from a lead generation standpoint. So we've worked our way through that. But we'll see what we get to in terms of the end of the quarter, but I would expect I'm sitting here right now, I think maybe you'd see a bit of an increase in the cost per pipeline add here in the in the first quarter. But and then in terms of the pipeline ads, see where we came up. We've had a decent first couple of months and we'll see where things end up here in first quarter.

Got it. And maybe if we look at 25 from an ASPs [indiscernible] I mean any general thoughts on ASPs as we move through the year?

Well, you do have the impact from the higher fees, which were which are now filtering through all the payers and we're seeing not only from CMS, but also other Medicare Advantage payers based on those new published fees. So there will be a little bit of a ASP uplift from that offset as you said from a higher mix of O and P revenue that we expect in the second half.

Got it. Thanks for the questions guys. Congrats again.

Thanks.

The next question is from Scott Henry with AGP. Please go ahead.

Thank you. Good afternoon.

Great results and a great outlook for 2025.

Congratulations to you guys. Quite an accomplishment.

A couple of questions.

When we look at the model, and we look at the metrics, to grow from $12,000,000 to even higher, revenue per quarter. There's a couple of ways it can go up. One of them would be pipeline adds. Do you think June, are you starting to get near the peak or do you think there's other step ups You can get into the 700s, maybe the 800s. How should we think of the potential for the top of the funnel there?

Well, I think to get to the 50% to $53,000,000 in revenue, we have to increase the pipeline ad so low. We don't think we've reached our peak. And I think we've gotten we've got a very efficient organization, I think, that we've built now. We have now separate people in the organization that all they do is these initial valuations of patients to get them into the pipeline. We try to encourage as many patients as possible to get into the we have an online waiting room, a Doxy waiting room that that we use quite extensively. And so we're getting pretty good at it. That frees up our our regional CPOs to be there in the field doing shape captures and delivering MyoPro's as basically their entire jobs. So we're becoming much more efficient at it. And then with the higher lead generation that we expect with more dollars that we spend that should result in more patients coming into top of the funnel beyond what we've been able to add here so far.

And Scott, I'll add that it's a very deep pool of patients. Right? Over three million cases of chronic arm paralysis in The U. S. And if it's just ten percent or twenty percent of them that are eligible candidates for a myoprolol, it's still hundreds of thousands of patients. And so we're expecting to see continued linear growth in the number of patient candidates finding out about us. As we increase the advertising spend. And the other thing that's working in our favor is the rehab therapist that are now starting to work with MyoPro patients after we the patient gets their device. They have to go through recent training with the MyoPro. They are now seeing patients that could be a candidate and referring them to us as well. So we're starting to see that momentum happen too.

Okay, great. And shifting to gross margins, I think they're around 75% in Q3, 71% in Q4. As you get to this higher volume, a little higher price point as well, how should we think about 2025? Does it look more like Q3 or Q4 or somewhere in the middle?

Yes, I would expect that we're in the new facility now, we have a bit more overhead. And but that is being offset by but I think a higher ASP opportunity. So I think that 70%, 71% -ish kind of gross margin would be something that I would be modeling for for 2025.

Okay. Great. And then when we think about OpEx, mean, just looking at the numbers and hearing the commentary, should we be thinking about kind of $10,000,000 a quarter in OpEx That's all in including stock comp, those are as reported.

Or could it be higher than that?

Just trying to get some Yes. I mean, I think it's I think it would be higher than that. And I think full year OpEx definitely starts with the four.

Okay.

Great. That's helpful. Final question, more of a big picture question. When you think about the reimbursement environment, which tremendous strides in 2024, When we look at 2025, would you categorize it as consistent or even improving over 2024 or perhaps getting a little worse 2024? Just trying to get a sense of whether that's a headwind or a tailwind?

Right now, I'm looking at it as being consistent Certainly with the Medicare Part B, allowables plus this price increase, The fact that we're now entering into contracts in several states with some of the Blues There is a defined price based off of the Medicare allowable which means that those patients will be covered. And we don't have to go through the process of obtaining a single case agreement like we had in the past. So that should accelerate the revenue cycle and the patients that have those plans And then hopefully, without all the public pressure, there's investigations of these Medicare Advantage plans. That that pressure may improve that environment to get back to where we were with these Medicare Advantage plans a couple of years ago.

Okay, great. Thank you for the color.

Thanks for taking all the questions. Great results.

Thanks, Ed.

Thanks. Thanks, Scott.

The next question is from Anthony Vendetti with Maxim Group. Please go ahead.

Thanks. I was wondering, do you have the cost per pipeline add Yes, it was $12.26 dollars $12.26 dollars Okay, great. And then I'm just curious, out of obviously a lot of companies deal with this denied claims, right?

Then there's appeal process, recovery process. What percent of denied claims are you able to recover over time? [indiscernible] So denied claims like we file an authorization request, not even a claim but most of the dials come at the authorization stage. [indiscernible] Yes, let's say with initially the authorization was initially denied, and you go back and appeal or you try to make the the medical necessity case, what percent of those do you get overturned Well, historically, we had been winning about 40% to 50% of those over time. That percentage has come down somewhat. But the time has also been lengthened. I mean, I've recently met a patient who's been in the pipeline for over two years before he finally got his approval of his MyoPro. So that timeline can stretch out That's why we're pleased that we're able to serve these Medicare Part B patients more readily. Right now. [indiscernible] And then in terms of just getting physicians comfortable do you have specific physician training goals for 2025?

Well, what we do is when a patient is qualified for MyoProbe, we send them to their physician They have to have an evaluation by the physician. And get all the clinical documentation, get a prescription and so on. On. At that point, we will send that physician one of our MyoPro brochures. We make them [indiscernible] knowledgeable about the fact that there's this clinical research available. And one of our either local clinicians or our Chief Medical Officer will reach out to that physician to educate them about the Myomo. We're also starting to attend more of the conferences that physicians attend. These are rehabilitation medicine physicians, and others. So getting the word out that way with a lot more speak engagements as well.

Okay, great. And then this is probably more of financial follow-up. So you said you're going to at least double the advertising budget to $6,000,000 this year. Did you say CapEx overall should be greater than $10,000,000 for 2025? And if not, if you could just clarify. No, no. Yes, no. CapEx was fairly low. We had a we had CapEx recently over the last quarter or two just because of our move to to the Burlington facility here. We had to furnish it and things like that. But will be some smaller amount of CapEx as we move into the last 7,500 square feet here here in Burlington by midyear, But overall, I would not expect CapEx to be it's not I would think it $1,000,000 or less for CapEx. Okay.

Okay. So you're going to up the advertising budget to around $6,000,000 but the move is largely done. So CapEx for $25,000,000 around $1,000,000 Got it. Yes. Yes, except like I said, except for the the last 7,500 square feet that we'll that will furnish and equip in [indiscernible] midyear. Okay. Helpful. Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate it. I'll hop back in the queue.

The next question is from Sean Lee with H. C. Wainwright. Please go ahead.

Thank you and good afternoon, Paul and Dave. And congrats on a great quarter and year. So my first question is, I just want to dig in a little deeper on the reimbursement front. So for the authorization denials, what are the main reasons that you're seeing for these denials? And is there anything that the company can do to reduce their frequency?

So remain reasons for denial an insurance company will present is they'll say, well, device is experimental and investigational. And we knocked that down because we say, look, we've already had 3,000 of these units paid for CMS. That has approved this device for coverage. So obviously, it's not experimental, investigational. The VA has approved the device for ten years now. The other one would be medical necessity. And that's why we would depend on the physician's medical documentation pointing out that this is reasonable and medical necessary for these patients. Based on their chronic arm paralysis. They've tried everything else. Occupational therapy, maybe Botox, other interventions. And this is the least costly, most functional option at this point. And many of these insurance plans will pay for a an arm prosthesis. So if you were an amputee and you lost an arm or a hand, those policies will cover that type of device to restore function. MyoPro does the same thing without having to have the amputation. In fact, we saved some arms from amputation because the patient has discovered a Myofrold. That's how we try to knock down those arguments. Our Chief Medical Officer, Doctor. Kobelman, has meetings with these medical directors to make the case and we'll testify in front of ALJ judges to make that case and we win a number of those cases.

Great. Thanks for the additional color. With regards to the OMP channel for 2025, what sort of growth can we expect from that versus compared to your traditional advertising?

Yes, we mentioned I think I answered this channel was about somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,000,000 give or take a few hundred thousand. In 2025. And we expect we're not giving specific guidance for that channel in 2025, but we expect the growth in that channel to be meaningful. In 2025. I see. Thanks. And my last question is, on the international market, how should we think about that in 2025?

Well, Germany has performed very well. Many of the statutory health insurance plans there are covering the Myoprol. We have over 100 and own peak clinical partners trained and up and running around the country.

So our German team has had steady track record of growth year over year. They're expanding their marketing, they're expanding their clinical staff and business self staff. So we should see that market continue to grow. And we continue to invest in Germany Opening other international markets is more time consuming, a couple of years of investment to get reimbursement just like we had to invest here in The U. S. And Germany. So our approach is at this point let's keep doing what's working, which is growing the German market to over 80,000,000 population. So that means there's over 800,000 paralyzed arms in the country. And again, we're just at an early stage of penetrating that very large market. It's a good economy overall despite some near term turbulence here, but they like high-tech products and they've got a very good healthcare system. Thank you, Sean.

The next question is from Edward Wu with Ascendiant Capital. Please go ahead.

Yes. I'd also like to give my congratulations on a great quarter and keep it up. My question is on the tariffs. Are there any risk to your 70%, 71% gross margin with possible tariffs? And also, will the tariff impact your sales into Germany?

Right now, I asked our supply chain team to look at this. We don't see any impact on the tariffs for what we purchased right now. Most of it is sourced from The U. S. A little bit of supply small low cost components from China, but so that should be de minimis. And so on. Right now, there are no tariffs coming back at us for our exports in Germany, but it could raise the price to the OMP providers there in Germany. Which they may be able to mark up to the insurance companies. That's still to be determined. And as you know, the tariffs are on one day, they're off the next day.

That sounds good. Well, thanks for answering my questions. Wish you guys good luck. Thank you.

All right. Thank you, This concludes our question and answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Paul Gudonis for any closing remarks.

Well, thank you, operator. Well, I want to thank the Myomo team here in the United States and in Germany our growing network of O and P clinical partners, rehab hospital therapists who help patients regain mobility, and our investors who support our mission in making this life changing technology available to a large patient population that had been previously told that you still could never use that arm again for the rest of your life. I'll close with a case study of one of our Myomo recipients that was provided to me by Mark Werner of ARISE O and P, a Center of Excellence in Arizona about one of his Medicare Part D patients. We recently finished a 58 year old male who suffered a stroke twelve years ago which affected his right dominant arm. This husband and father of two children was not able to find employment following his stroke forcing him to take on the role of Mr. Mom instead. Since being fit with his MyoPro G, he's made tremendous gains. He's regained increased active range of motion in his right elbow and hand, as well as his right shoulder. After two months of using his Myomo, his increased strength as such that the eye can now carry a bag and perform other household tasks, with his right arm.

He's also experienced reduced spasticity in tone in his right arm from using his MyoPro enabling him to return to jogging on a treadmill at his gym as a result of the restoration of reciprocal arm swing. The success with his Myomo and his desire to help other people with arm disabilities has now led to his new role as a MyoPro ambassador for Arise OMP. The stories like this that drive us forward by continuing to serve more individuals directly and through our partner owned P clinics we'll keep building a growing and profitable company. Thanks again for joining our call today. And have a nice evening.

Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
