Current report

Since inception, we have financed operations primarily through the net proceeds we have received from the sales of our preferred stock and common stock as well as net proceeds from our term loans and cash generated from the sale of headbands and Clarity subscriptions. On October 15, 2024, we completed our IPO and received net proceeds of $187.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.

Current report

Our losses primarily resulted from the costs incurred in the development and sales and marketing of our products and providing general and administrative support for our operations. We expect to continue to incur losses in the foreseeable future and to expend significant amounts of cash in the foreseeable future as we continue to scale our business, invest in research and development activities, increase sales and marketing expenses to support commercial expansion, and increase general and administrative expenses to support our transition into being a publicly-traded company.

Current report

As of March 31, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $182.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and short term marketable securities and $20.0 million of term loans.

Current report

On February 6, 2024, we entered into the VLSA with SVB and Horizon. The VLSA provides a term loan commitment of $50.0 million. We drew $20.0 million of the $50.0 million term loan commitment at closing, (consisting of $6.0 million from SVB and $14.0 million from Horizon), which was used to retire our existing debt with Horizon, pay transaction fees, and for general corporate purposes. The remaining $30.0 million term loan commitment consists of three tranches of $10.0 million commitments. The maturity date of VLSA is March 1, 2029.

Current report

In order to generate and obtain adequate amounts of cash to meet requirements beyond the next 12 months, we may continue to seek funds through equity or debt financings, or through other sources of financing. Our future capital needs will depend upon many factors, including:

Current report

the cost and pace of developing new products and our research and development activities;

Current report

the scope, timing and costs of supporting sales growth and expansion of our commercial organization;

Current report

the costs associated with any product recall that may occur;

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Previous report

Research and development expenses increased $3.3 million or 53%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.9 million in personnel and related expenses directly associated with an increase in headcount, as well as an increase of $1.3 million in clinical study and professional expenses.

Previous report

Sales and marketing expenses increased $5.7 million, or 20%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods of fiscal year 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel and related expenses directly associated with an increase in headcount.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses increased $9.6 million or 67%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $5.7 million in personnel and related expenses directly associated with an increase in headcount, as well as an increase of $3.1 million in legal, accounting, and professional service fees related to our transition to a public company, and an increase of $0.4 million in increased software expenses.

Previous report

Interest and other income (expense), net decreased $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period for fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $0.9 million interest income related to a decrease in cash and $0.4 million in other expense as a result of the change in fair value of the warrant liability.

Previous wording

We are a commercial-stage medical technology company focused on transforming the diagnosis and management of patients with serious neurological conditions. We have developed the Ceribell System, a novel, point-of-care electroencephalography (“EEG”) platform specifically designed to address the unmet needs of patients in the acute care setting. By combining proprietary, highly portable, and rapidly deployable hardware with sophisticated artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered algorithms, the Ceribell System enables rapid diagnosis and continuous monitoring of patients with neurological conditions.

Previous wording

We are initially focused on becoming the standard of care for the detection and management of seizures in the acute care setting, where the technological and operational limitations of conventional EEG systems have contributed to significant delays in seizure diagnosis and suboptimal patient care and clinical outcomes, as well as a high economic burden for hospitals and the healthcare system. By making EEG more accessible and enabling continuous monitoring through the power of AI, the Ceribell System enables clinicians to more rapidly and accurately diagnose and manage patients at risk of seizure in the acute care setting, resulting in improved patient outcomes and hospital and payer economics. As of September 30, 2024, the Ceribell System has been adopted by more than 500 active accounts, ranging from top academic centers to small community hospitals, and has been used to care for over 100,000 patients. For information regarding how patient care and clinical outcomes are measured, see “Business—Market Overview—Challenges of Managing Seizures in the Acute Care Setting” in the Prospectus.

Previous wording

We specifically designed the Ceribell System to address the limitations of conventional EEG in the acute care setting and improve clinical outcomes of critically ill patients at high risk of seizures. The Ceribell System integrates proprietary, highly portable hardware with AI-powered algorithms to aid in the detection and management of seizures. Our hardware is composed of a disposable, flexible headband and a pocket-sized, battery-operated recorder used to capture and wirelessly transmit EEG signals. The hardware is simple to use and, after approximately one hour of training, can be applied within minutes by any non-specialized healthcare professional. EEG data captured by the recorder is interpreted by our proprietary AI-powered seizure detection algorithm, Clarity, which continuously monitors the patient’s EEG signal and can support the clinician’s real-time assessment of seizure activity.

Previous wording

We are currently focused on Ceribell EEG becoming the standard of care for the detection and management of seizures in the acute care setting. There are approximately 5,800 acute care facilities in the United States that we believe could benefit from our system. We intend to expand the size of our direct sales organization in the United States to support our efforts to drive further adoption and utilization of the Ceribell System. While our current commercial focus is on the United States, we have received a CE Mark for the Ceribell System in Europe, and we intend to pursue additional regulatory clearances in Europe within two to four years and, in the future, elsewhere outside of the United States. We also plan to engage in market access initiatives in attractive international regions in which we see significant opportunity.

Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to organizing and staffing our company, research and development activities, obtaining FDA clearances and other regulatory achievements, business planning, raising capital, establishing and maintaining our intellectual property portfolio, conducting direct sales efforts and marketing initiatives, conducting clinical studies, and providing general and administrative support for these operations.

Previous wording

Adoption of the Ceribell System in new accounts. As of September 30, 2024, we had over 500 active accounts. We define active accounts as those with an active subscription or recent headband usage, which is typically considered to have occurred during the previous six months. When determining the number of active accounts, we do not count a care facility (such as a hospital) as more than one account, even though the facility may have both an Emergency Department (“ED”) and an Intensive Care Unit (“ICU”) using the Ceribell System. In addition, the headbands used as part of the Ceribell System are designed to be used only once by a single patient, so an active account is expected to purchase multiple headbands to be used as part of the Ceribell System. There are approximately 5,800 acute care facilities in the United States that we believe could benefit from our system. We believe that any facility with either an Intensive Care Unit (“ICU”) or Emergency Department (“ED”), or both, has patients who could benefit from the Ceribell System, because the patients arriving at such facilities may experience seizures triggered by the conditions leading them to seek acute medical care. We have initially targeted a subset of these acute care facilities through our commercial organization, prioritizing certain facilities based on factors such as geographic characteristics and sales potential. Over time, we expect to target additional acute care facilities as we grow our sales. To penetrate these hospitals, we continue to increase the size of our commercial organization. This team comprises TMs and CAMs, who are responsible for new account acquisition by engaging with key decision makers to educate them about the value proposition of the Ceribell System. As we seek to increase our account base, we expect that our revenue will increase due to increased utilization of the headbands and therefore increased product revenue, as well as new Clarity subscribers and increased subscription revenue. The rate at which we grow our commercial organization and the speed at which newly hired personnel become effective can impact our revenue growth and our costs incurred in anticipation of such growth.

Gross profit, or revenue less cost of revenue, and gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of revenue, have been and will continue to be affected by various factors that may cause gross margins to fluctuate. These include the product mix between product and subscription revenues, potential increases to sales prices, the timing of our acquisition of new customers, renewals of and follow-on sales to existing customers, costs associated with third-party hosting fees, costs associated with third party manufacturing and supply chain purchases of inventory, and other direct costs such as tariffs and shipping. We expect our gross margin to remain relatively constant over the short term and to increase over the long term as we focus on optimizing our manufacturing processes and to the extent our production volume increases, our fixed manufacturing costs would be spread over a larger number of units, thereby reducing our per-unit manufacturing costs. Our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period, based upon the factors described above and in the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We expect our product inventory, currently located within the United States, to enable sufficient supply of finished goods through at least the third quarter of 2025. We do not expect any material impact to our financial results from incremental tariffs until at least the fourth quarter of 2025. Our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period, based upon the factors described above and in the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net operating assets increased due to the timing of inventory purchases and accounts receivable due to the overall increase in sales in the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net operating liabilities decreased primarily due to timing of payments.

As of September 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $154.4 million.

As of September 30, 2024, we had $14.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. For the period from our inception through September 30, 2024, we had received aggregate gross proceeds of $151.0 million from sales of our common stock, convertible notes, and redeemable convertible preferred stock and $35.0 million from term loans. In February 2024, we executed a Venture Loan and Security Agreement (“VLSA”) with Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“SVB”), as a lender, and Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (“Horizon”), as a lender and collateral agent of $50.0 million. The Company drew $20.0 million of the $50.0 million term loan commitment at closing with a $30.0 million term loan commitment remaining. The Company used a portion of the proceeds to pay the remaining principal and end-of-term fee of prior term loan as well as the fees associated with the VLSA. Net proceeds were $7.6 million. Concurrent with the VLSA, we also entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with SVB for a senior revolving line of credit of up to $10.0 million (“Revolving Facility”).

Concurrent with the VLSA, we also entered into the Revolving Facility for a line of credit of up to $10.0 million. The Revolving Facility matures on February 6, 2026.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $179.7 million. To date, we have funded our operations primarily through proceeds from the sale of shares of our stock, including common stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock, term loan proceeds, and cash generated from the sale of headbands and subscriptions. As of March 31, 2025, we had $182.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and short term marketable securities. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that the net proceeds from our IPO, together with the expected cash generated from revenue transactions with customers and our existing cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to fund our planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could deplete our capital resources sooner than we expect. We may experience lower than expected cash generated from operating activities or greater than expected capital expenditures, cost of revenue, or operating expenses, and may need to raise additional capital to fund operations, further research and development activities, or acquire, invest in, or in-license other businesses, assets, or technologies.
