BURLINGTON, Mass. and JERUSALEM, March 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – BrainsWay Ltd. (NASDAQ & TASE: BWAY) (“BrainsWay” or the “Company”), a world leader in advanced and non-invasive treatment for brain disorders, today reported fourth quarter and full-year 2022 financial results and provided an operational update.
Recent Financial and Operational Highlights
“Since assuming the role of CEO earlier this year, I have focused on implementing key initiatives aimed at growing the Company’s top-line while simultaneously advancing toward profitability,” said Hadar Levy, BrainsWay’s Chief Executive Officer. “Based on our confident outlook for 2023 and the actions we have implemented to date, we are aiming for revenue growth over 2022, and targeting breakeven operating income in the fourth quarter of 2023. Importantly, TMS remains a large market with strong momentum and there is ample opportunity for BrainsWay to capture meaningful market share, both in the U.S. and internationally.”
“While the current macroeconomic environment continues to present challenges to both our smaller customers and patients, we remain vigilant in controlling expenses,” stated Christopher von Jako, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of BrainsWay. “We are confident that we have the right plan in place for growth. One of our key growth initiatives is the planned strengthening of our salesforce. As we target larger, enterprise customers that are somewhat more insulated from economic fluctuations, we are focused on ensuring that when the sales team is appropriately built out, it is comprised of experienced professionals who can effectively communicate our differentiation and the significant return on investment that can be generated with Deep TMS.”
“Importantly, we are fortified with a strong balance sheet and believe that there are several tailwinds in our business. We continue to achieve sustainable success internationally, make further progress with reimbursement, execute on key clinical and regulatory milestones, and increase market awareness for Deep TMS. In addition, we believe that we have multiple growth catalysts ahead of us and favorable industry trends should present a highly compelling long-term outlook for our business,” concluded Dr. von Jako.
