Management highlights
- Concluded the successful Patient Therapy Access Program (PTAP) in June 2022, which reduced a major barrier to PoNS use and added to the MS patient registry. - Received UPC numbers for PoNS system and mouthpiece, with PoNS now having 2 paths to reimbursement due to DME accreditation. - Established relationships with Canadian healthcare providers, including an order from the University of Montreal and a letter of intent from the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services. - Launched the UpScript e-commerce telehealth platform to make it easier for MS patients to access PoNS Therapy. - Expanded the PoNSTEP outcome research trial, adding Montefiore Medical Center to the program. - In Canada, saw revenue growth with an exclusive distribution agreement and positive study results on TBI patients showing significant improvements in balance, gait, and work return rates.
Segment performance
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2023 was $143,000. Revenues in the U.S. decreased following the expiration of the PTAP program on June 30 as sales reverted to the cash-pay price. Revenues in Canada were $72,000 during the quarter, up 29% over the third quarter of last year.
Guidance
- Expect our cash runway to extend into the second quarter of 2024.
Risks
- Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated, as detailed in the Risk Factors section of recent filings with the SEC.
