Full Year 2024 Financial Guidance

• Anticipating continued profitability momentum and positive cash generation throughout the second half of 2024.

“Market demand for our Deep TMS system continued to increase during the second quarter of 2024, driving 28% revenue growth year-over-year. In addition, we generated positive quarterly net income for the third consecutive quarter, and positive Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow from operations for the fourth consecutive quarter,” said Hadar Levy, BrainsWay’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our focus on enterprise customers continues to play a key role in our sales growth and improved margins. We believe that continuing to incorporate our technology within these large, expanding mental health groups and networks provides us with a tremendous opportunity for future profitable growth.”

“Another important growth driver for our business is the expansion of our international footprint. This includes our recently announced strategic distribution agreement with an established specialty distributor in Canada, which opens the Canadian market to our Deep TMS therapy. We expect revenue from this new agreement to contribute to our top-line in the second half of 2024. Moreover, we continue to advance our clinical trial pipeline, including via the initiation of a multicenter study of an accelerated Deep TMS depression protocol. We believe this protocol could reshape how patients and physicians view the accessibility of Deep TMS therapy,” concluded Mr. Levy.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including in particular operating income and net income, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure, is useful in evaluating our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, finance income, finance expenses, income taxes, cost of share-based payments, and one-time restructuring and litigation expenses.

In addition to operating income (loss) and net income (loss), we use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operational efficiency. We believe that this non-IFRS financial measure is useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons:

• Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as stock-based compensation expenses, depreciation and amortization, finance expenses, income taxes, and certain one-time items such as restructuring and litigation expenses, that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures and the method by which assets were acquired.
• Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with IFRS financial measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of operating performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance; and Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, and also facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-IFRS or non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their IFRS or GAAP results.

Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) or net income (loss) for the period and may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. A reconciliation between the Company’s net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA is presented in the attached summary financial statements.

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other IFRS-based financial performance measures, including net income (loss) and our IFRS financial results.
