Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
We believe that the Truvaga business could scale nicely if we maintain or improve these metrics, and we're excited about the anticipated launch of Truvaga Plus next month
All of our operating metrics continue to beat expectations, and we continue to be enthusiastic about the company's long-term prospects across all brands and product lines
Both new brands exceeded our expectations in their first full year sales and are driving excitement about the future
The Joerns distribution agreement has tremendous upside
The NHS has been very supportive in that business in the U.K
I've got every reason to believe that we'll be able to continue that momentum
Gross margins continued to be strong, increasing from 81% to 83% for the full year 2023, and Brian will discuss the financials in more detail later on
It's very exciting
We're thrilled to report revenue of $16 million for the full year ended December 31, 2023, an 87% increase over the prior year
So I'm very, very optimistic about things accelerating as we go through this year
We have lots of positive momentum leading into 2024, including, one, continued growth in our U.S
The launch of our first general wellness product, Truvaga 350, was received favorably by the market as evidenced by greater than $1 million of revenue in its first full year sales and the efficiency of our media spend to drive those sales
I'm very proud of our full-year 2023 operating results and with the continued momentum in our prescription headache and general wellness businesses
Our team has done a great job of staying nimble, scaling the business and responding to the needs of our customers and health care providers alike, leading to the more than 60% compound annual growth over the last five years
Demand for our prescription gammaCore therapy in the VA channel continues to grow based on clinical performance and our increased presence in the field
The brand continues to show tons of potential as a direct-to-consumer general wellness offering, and we are incredibly excited about the anticipated launch of our next-generation Truvaga Plus product next month
2023 was capped off by a fifth consecutive record revenue quarter with sales of $5.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023
And so I'm optimistic that we'll see top line data in July, August kind of a time frame
It's really great to hear that the cash-based prescribers are continuing to increase
The sales funnel for this product continues to grow as word spreads across active duty military units of the potential human performance benefits provided by TAC-STIM
Sales in the VA channel grew 89% to $9.6 million in 2023 from $5.1 million in 2022
Hope you're doing good
Swayampakula Ramakanth Very good
Our physician dispensed cash pay channel, including gC Direct and gConcierge, grew 42% to $1.7 million during the full-year 2023, from $1.2 million in the full-year 2022
I want to specifically say thank you to all of our employees who've been working tirelessly to deliver our amazing therapy to patients
Our pipeline of potential future indications and products continues to grow as clinicians, researchers and wellness advocates become more familiar with the benefits of non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation
And good luck
Truvaga net sales in the fourth quarter of 2023 were approximately 21%, up sequentially from the third quarter of 2023
But there's growing demand for our human performance product
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2023, increased 87% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
And our first quarter 2024 TAC-STIM sales are going to be sequentially down from the fourth quarter
We've stated before that revenue growth for this product line is likely to be lumpy as active duty units purchase in bulk for pilot deployment, and we expect TAC-STIM revenues in the first quarter of 2024 to be down sequentially due to the timing of these orders
We've not been successful gaining reimbursement in other national health systems
The continuing resolutions have affected some of the contracts that are in process
Sales of the TAC-STIM brand are likely to be lumpy as active duty units purchase in bulk for pilot deployment
Research and development expense of $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased by $200,000 from $5.5 million during the full-year ended December 31, 2022
So the -- getting the infrastructure set up, getting on formulary, educating the prescribers and the clinicians is taking longer than I had hoped
