| Statement |

| We introduced significant improvements to the program in 2024 based on feedback from our customers, making it even easier for our practices to use our streamlined and turnkey marketing approach, which should ultimately lead to greater patient awareness of NeuroStar |
| These various educational and awareness programs have been very successful at bringing NeuroStar to a greater number of patients suffering from mental health disorders across all of our customer segments |
| We are pleased with our performance throughout 2023, a year which included several record quarters and the achievement of key milestones |
| Their patient per day metric is increasing at a very nice rate |
| We wrapped up the year with a solid fourth quarter, during which we delivered over 20% year-over-year growth in utilization within the local consumable customers, as well as continued positive trends at Greenbrook sites |
| Some Treatment Sessions, really solid quarter revenues per active site, $13,000 plus was great to see |
| These results are encouraging and reflect the collective effort of the team to deliver value to our customers and their patients |
| Our commitment to enhancing patient care and provider efficiency remains strong, and we believe the introduction of initiatives like the Better Me Guarantee Provider Program expand upon this success |
| In addition to the program driving increase in patient awareness, we have observed performance improvements among participating practices, including higher responsiveness and more timely follow-up with potential patients |
| Treatment Session revenue was a record for the company at $14.9 million, an increase of 20% year-over-year |
| These improvements reflect our commitment to supporting healthcare providers and enhancing patient outcomes |
| The revenue growth was primarily driven by strong performance within our local consumable customer segment |
| Participating in this program will not only advance our other initiatives like NSU and co-op marketing, but also ensure that our customers are better equipped to provide high quality care |
| With the continued success of our summit, as well as our ongoing efforts to drive awareness of the benefits of NeuroStar, we are optimistic about the sustainability and predictability of our capital sales moving forward |
| Gross margins were 77.6%, compared to 75.9% in the prior year quarter, up 170 basis points from the prior year, driven by favorable mix, as Treatment Session revenues continue to be a larger percentage of total revenues |
| Achieving record quarterly revenue while reducing operating expenses, demonstrates our ability to drive leverage |
| This significant reduction in EBITDA loss reflects our success in proactively creating operational leverage through a combination of strong top-line growth and prudent expense management |
| Turning to regulatory and clinical updates, we continue to see positive momentum from expanded TMS therapy coverage from the major health plan |
| Greenbrook, again throughout 2023, they have accelerated their growth in the legacy Greenbrook stores, and I would say across the board, their performance has been very strong |
| While still early days, we have seen a number of highly encouraging results |
| We are very pleased to report that we have seen, as a result of their participation in our program, continued improving performance at Greenbrook sites, to the point where they are, on average, at or above pre-merger levels |
| We're optimistic about the future and excited to continue our journey of expanding access to transformative mental health treatments |
| Their efforts have been instrumental in driving our success in 2023, and I'm truly grateful for all that they do |
| This increase reflects the growing success of our strategic initiatives, which is encouraging given the growth in active sites over the past year |
| This highlights the fact that the more we are able to educate customers on the best practices and the benefits of partnering with Neuronetics, the more utility they will derive |
| We've covered a lot of ground in 2023, marked by continued improvements in utilization trends and several record-breaking revenue quarters |
| Our top-line growth, a healthy gross margin profile, and careful operating expense management all contribute to the stability of our path to profitability |
| In the fourth quarter, we achieved a significant milestone by generating positive cash flow for the first time in company history |
| Moving forward, we will continue to lever NSU's success to drive increased adoption and utilization |
| We generated $1.5 million in cash, which we achieved earlier than previously expected, as we continue to reap the benefits of strong revenue growth, combined with improving margins and expense management efforts |

| But again, being flat and our largest customer, again, it was an overall drag on our growth rate |
| EBITDA was negative $3 million as compared to negative $6.5 million in the prior year quarter |
| And so, when we look at that in comparison to our Treatment Session growth driver, it really is a drag on the overall consolidated growth rate |
| So again, not a significant growth driver |
| Net loss for the fourth quarter was $5.4 million or $0.19 per share, as compared to a net loss of $8.3 million or $0.30 per share, in the prior year quarter |
| And in ‘23, although they were stable, they were a drag on our overall growth rate, but we do not expect them to be a drag in 2024 |
| Actual results can differ materially from those stated or implied by these forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties associated with the company's business |
| And so it just seems to be a bit premature to include that in our 2024 guidance |
| Operating expenses during the quarter were $20.2 million, a decrease of $1.3 million or 6.2% compared to $21.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 |
| I mean Q1 historically is a significant cash burn quarter for us |
| And then the company still supports our fixed price customers, and that number has been fairly steady, about $7 million a year, but again, also doesn't grow |
| Obviously we're seeing an acceleration, but there's some drags on that |
