  Content	electroCore Announces Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results electroCore, Inc. Wed, Nov 13, 2024, 3:01 PM 10 min read In This Article: ECOR +7.80% electroCore, Inc. Record quarterly revenues driven by 75% YoY growth of Rx gammaCore™ in the VA/DoD and 147% increase in Truvaga™ sales Company to host a conference call and webcast today, November 13, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. EST ROCKAWAY, N.J., Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- electroCore, Inc. (Nasdaq: ECOR), a commercial-stage bioelectronic medicine company and wellness company, today announced third quarter 2024 financial results. Recent Highlights Eighth consecutive record quarterly revenue of $6.6 million, an increase of 45% over third quarter 2023 Year to date, revenue of $18.1 million; an increase of 67% over the first nine months of 2023 Sales of Rx gammaCore™ and Truvaga™ before variable TAC-STIM™ sales increased 63% over the third quarter 2023 Net loss of $2.5 million, a reduction of 38% over third quarter 2023 Net cash used in operating activities through the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $5.7 million, a decrease of 51% over the nine months ended September 30, 2023 “Demand for our Rx gammaCore™ and Truvaga™ solutions continue to drive robust growth,” commented Dan Goldberger, Chief Executive Officer of electroCore. “Outside of TAC-STIM sales which are inherently variable and incremental to our operations, our business continues showing consistent growth on a quarterly and year to date basis.  As we continue to scale, we will generate incremental revenues that will benefit from operating leverage helping us to reach positive cash flow and ultimately drive earnings.” Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, electroCore reported net sales of $6.6 million compared to $4.5 million during the same period of 2023, which represents an approximate 45% increase over the prior year. The increase of $2.0 million is primarily due to an increase in net sales across Rx gammaCore and Truvaga channels.

Gross margin was 84% for the third quarter of 2024 as compared to 85% in the third quarter of 2023. Story Continues Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2024 were approximately $8.1 million as compared to $8.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. Research and development expense in the third quarter of 2024 was $0.5 million as compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a significant reduction in investments associated with the development of Truvaga Plus. Selling, general and administrative expense in the third quarter of 2024 was $7.6 million as compared to $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily due to greater variable selling and marketing costs consistent with an increase in sales and recognition of lease expense associated with the expansion of the Company's facility in Rockaway, New Jersey. GAAP net loss in the third quarter of 2024 was $2.5 million compared to $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. This significant improvement was primarily due to the increase in net sales to $6.6 million for the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $4.5 million during the same period in 2023. Net loss per share in the third quarter of 2024 was $0.31 as compared to a $0.68 net loss per share in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA net loss in the third quarter of 2024 was $2.1 million as compared to adjusted EBITDA net loss of $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. These improved results are also primarily due to the increase in third quarter of 2024 net sales as compared to the same period in 2023. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA net loss as GAAP net loss, adjusted to exclude non-operating gains/losses, depreciation and amortization, stock-compensation expense, inventory reserve charges, severance and other related charges, legal fees associated with stockholders’ litigation, and benefit from income taxes. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash at September 30, 2024 totaled approximately $13.2 million, as compared to approximately $10.6 million as of December 31, 2023.

Management uses this non-GAAP measure principally as a measure of the Company’s core operating performance and believes that this measure is useful to investors because it is frequently used by the financial community, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry. The Company also believes that this measure is useful to its management and investors as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period. Additionally, the Company believes its use of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss from operations facilitates management’s internal comparisons to historical operating results by factoring out potential differences caused by gains and charges not related to its regular, ongoing business, including, without limitation, non-cash charges and certain large and unpredictable charges such as restructuring expenses. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA net loss as GAAP net loss, adjusting to exclude non-operating gains/losses, depreciation and amortization, stock-compensation expense, inventory reserve charges, severance and other related charges, legal fees associated with stockholders’ litigation, and benefit from income taxes. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss is provided in the financial statement table below. Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, (in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 GAAP net loss $ (2,497 ) $ (4,032 ) $ (8,658 ) $ (14,802 ) Depreciation and amortization 185 291 592 735 Stock-based compensation 400 543 1,356 1,298 Inventory reserve charge — 193 — 258 Severance and other related charges — 113 — 445 Legal fees associated with stockholders' litigation 2 7 73 42 Interest and other (income) expense (154 ) (94 ) (311 ) (298 ) Benefit from income taxes — — (122 ) (211 ) Adjusted EBITDA net loss $ (2,064 ) $ (2,979 ) $ (7,070 ) $ (12,533 ) The Company’s use of a non-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of its results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) the non-GAAP measure does not reflect interest or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available; (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and the non-GAAP measure does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; (iii) the non-GAAP measure does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation; and (iv) the non-GAAP measure does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for working capital needs; other companies, including companies in electroCore’s industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA net loss differently, effectively reducing its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider the non-GAAP measure together with other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss, and other GAAP results. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net loss has been provided in the preceding financial statements table of this press release.
