Thank you, Lisa. Welcome, everyone, to Helius Medical's Third Quarter 2022 Earnings Conference Call. The third quarter was our first full quarter of commercial sales of our Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator, or PoNS device, which is indicated in the U.S. for the short-term treatment of gait deficit due to mild to moderate symptoms of MS and is to be used in conjunction with a supervised therapeutic exercise program. Gait dysfunction is an extremely common symptom among the estimated 1 million people in the U.S. suffering from MS. Over 70% of patients report difficulties walking, yet there remains a huge unmet need in this area. Until now, treatment options have been limited, but 14 weeks of PoNS therapy has demonstrated significant gait improvement when compared to physical therapy alone. PoNS therapy is the only available portable and readily accessible neurostimulation therapy that promotes neuromodulation and may lead to neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to modify, change and adapt in response to modulation of brain activity. It is safe, effective, and offers patients hope and neurologists a new tool in their tool belt. We are gratified by the reception PoNS is continuing to see in the marketplace. Total revenue grew 65% quarter-over-quarter, and it was driven primarily by sales of PoNS in the U.S. During the quarter, we continued to see an upward trend in inquiries and prescriptions written and filled. As more and more PTs are trained on PoNS and more doctors become aware of the benefits of PoNS therapy, we believe this upward trend will continue through the rest of 2022 and throughout 2023. As mentioned last quarter, because interest in PoNS therapy was high from the onset, we faced several challenges during the early weeks of commercialization. One of these was in training physical therapists who wished to treat MS patients experiencing gait impairment. Because therapists were previously trained through an in-person, multi-day course, with only five to 10 people able to participate at any one time, we simply could not train them fast enough to keep up with demand, leaving many physicians unable to find a trained physical therapist to fill a prescription. In July, we implemented a self-paced online training module, allowing practitioners to be trained remotely at their own pace in three hours or less. This change has been widely embraced and we currently have nearly 100 physical therapists already trained or registered in the U.S. Another move we made to facilitate more streamlined access to PoNS in the development of ponstherapy.com, our direct-to-consumer e-platform, telehealth for physicians and patients. This powerful hub will go live in all 50 states by the end of 2022 and will include a network of fully licensed providers with e-prescribing capabilities. This will greatly reduce the amount of time it takes a patient to set up an appointment with their neurologist or primary care physician, allowing patients to match with practitioners and make appointments online, all in as little as 24 hours. They can also choose to have the PoNS device delivered directly to their door. Right now, all sales are on a cash pay basis, but we don't want cost to be a barrier to PoNS use. While we pursue commercial and government reimbursement programs, we are offering the PoNS device at a discount to list price in the U.S. In addition, we implemented the Patient Therapy Access Program, or PTAP, earlier this year, which enables patients' access to on-label PoNS therapy at nearly an 85% discount to list price. Approximately 80% of PoNS device prescriptions filled in the U.S. through the third quarter were filled through PTAP. Because our PoNS device is to be used in conjunction with a supervised therapeutic exercise program, it is important to understand the extent to which patients' adherence to the PoNS therapy regime can lead to meaningful therapeutic outcomes. To evaluate this relationship, we launched a Therapeutic Experience Program, or TEP. Established one year ago, TEP is an open-label observational trial that allows us to partner with some of the nation's premier academic medical centers to observe PoNS therapy in a real-world setting. We have engaged four centers of excellence to date, with MGH Institute of Health Professions and Oregon Health & Science University, our most recent additions to NYU Langone and Shepherd Center already enrolling patients. We anticipate TEP will provide additional clinical evidence to support the long-term durability of PoNS therapy for MS, and we hope to have the program fully enrolled by mid-2023. Turning to our Canadian activities. Since 2019, PoNS has been authorized for sale in Canada for chronic balance deficit due to mild to moderate traumatic brain injury and subsequently for the treatment of gait deficit from mild to moderate symptoms of MS. We've gained valuable data from our patients in Canada, some of it crucial in obtaining FDA authorization in the U.S., though sales have been weaker than expected. With that said, we do have some initiatives in the works in Canada which we believe will lead to near-term and longer-term increases in sales. We look forward to the prospect of announcing additional details in the coming weeks. With that, let me turn the call over to Jeff to discuss our third quarter financial results in detail.

Thanks, Dane. Good morning, everyone. It is a pleasure to be with you today. Total revenue was $196,000 for the third quarter of 2022 compared to revenue of $109,000 in the third quarter of last year, or an increase of 80%. Product sales in the U.S. during the third quarter totaling $139,000 more than doubled over the second quarter 2022 levels. For the third quarter of 2022, our gross profit was $95,000 compared to $23,000 last year. Operating expenses for the third quarter were $4.9 million compared to $4.4 million in the third quarter of last year, an increase of $0.5 million. The increase was primarily due to a net increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, including the one-time $1.2 million expense attributable to performance-based options that vested during the current year quarter. Lower research and development costs following the U.S. commercialization launch partially offset these increases. During the quarter, we recorded a one-time non-cash $757,000 goodwill impairment expense resulting from the decrease in the company's market value, reducing the goodwill balance to zero. Operating loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $4.9 million compared to a loss of $4.4 million for the prior year period. The public warrants we issued in connection with the August 2022 financing were accounted for as a derivative liability instrument on the balance sheet, and as a result, the portion of the offering costs attributable to the warrants were recorded as interest expense totaling $919,000 for the quarter. In addition, the decrease in the valuation of these derivative instruments from the date of the offering to the quarter end resulted in income totaling $5.5 million during the quarter. The warrants will require a revaluation in future quarters tied to our share price, resulting in income or expense for each reporting period. We reported a net loss for the third quarter of 2022 of $1 million or a loss of $0.12 per share compared to a net loss of $4.7 million or a loss of $2.01 per share for the same period last year. As of September 30, 2022, we had $16.7 million of cash and no debt. We currently expect fourth-quarter revenue to be modestly above the third-quarter levels, factoring in the timing required to pair patients with trained physicians or physical therapists. In addition, as we near the end of the fourth quarter, we may experience some patients delaying PoNS treatment until after the holidays, which could temper sales growth as we expand our U.S. market penetration. As we continue to build momentum and expand our sales coverage, we expect future quarterly revenue to continually increase sequentially quarter-over-quarter throughout 2023 as the U.S. commercialization of PoNS develops. With the sales of PoNS in the U.S. and the $18 million financing completed during the quarter, we believe we have the cash reserves to take us through 2023. With that, operator, let's now open the call for questions.

So a few questions from our end on. So firstly, can you give us a sense of the number of patients out there, or number of patient locations as far as the PTs in training and sites go?

Yes, this is Jeff. We mentioned in the call that we have nearly 100 trained PTs. Some facilities may have multiple PTs, but there are also many individual PTs in various locations. We haven't provided the specific number of sites in the U.S. where these PTs are based. Regarding your question about the scripts, we're not ready to share that information in detail until we can better correlate the trends we're observing. However, knowing that 80% of sales in the U.S. were generated through the PTAP program, you can infer the number of scripts being written from the revenue figure.

Okay. Got it. And could you give us any sense on progress that you're making with some of the payers out there, and what we might anticipate over the coming quarters?

Yes, we're currently in preliminary discussions with the payers. It's important to note that the PTAP program allows for patient reimbursement due to the significantly reduced price. Additionally, regarding our reimbursement strategy, the new CMS platform called TCET facilitates reimbursement for emerging technologies, including our breakthroughs in multiple sclerosis and stroke. We anticipate rulemaking from CMS in early April, which is encouraging for us as we progress with these innovations. This pathway appears to be the fastest route to securing reimbursement.

Got it. Okay. And then lastly, Dane, talk to us a little bit about stroke and progress there, and what we might anticipate over the coming quarters in that area?

Yes. So again, we're finished with our data development plan with the FDA. We are starting soon the South Carolina pilot trial, and we're very excited about that. We put together our stroke Scientific Advisory Board in this quarter, which I believe is very impressive. So going forward, we do need financing for an FDA trial. So at the time, we're doing many things to get us ready for that trial.

Good morning, Dane and Jeff. My first question is, what caused the gross profit margin to improve so much in the third quarter?

Yes. I think what you're seeing is a higher sales volume that covers the fixed costs that go into overhead. So as sales continue to increase, that helps cover our fixed overhead costs.

Okay. And the SG&A expense run rate kind of popped up. But I have to lower it by about $1 million a quarter for the cash runway math to work out. Does that sound reasonable?

Yes. If you focus specifically on the third quarter of 2022, that's correct, as we did have a one-time charge during that period. Going forward, on a normalized or cash basis, it would indeed be $1 million less.

Can you tell us how many TEP patients are enrolled at the first two sites that enlisted?

Yes. So, hey, Jonathan, this is Dane. With the TEP sites, we're going to be averaging anywhere from three to seven per site. And we actually...

How many now are in?

We haven't announced that. So that's ongoing as we speak.

Okay. So the average was three to seven, correct?

Yes, but roughly three to seven. So we're in discussion with more sites as well. So we're very excited with the sites that have signed on so far.

I wanted to ask one more question. Could you talk about the customer journey as part of your new e-commerce platform?

Yes. So it's going to be very similar to the customer journey that we have internally with our own hub service. But when the patient comes to our ponstherapy.com page, they will have the opportunity to punch through that page. And if they do not have a prescription, they could basically schedule an appointment with the telemedicine doctor and have a medical appointment and the ability for that doctor to write an e-prescription that could be filled through the online hub services. And just like our hub services, the patient will have the PoNS device shipped directly to their address. And then they could start their physical therapy scheduling the first week or two.

Got it. Any early experience there? I know it just started up recently.

It's still early. We're expecting to launch it. So we're not just there yet, but we expect to launch it by the end of the fourth quarter. Thank you, operator. For everyone, we're very excited about the momentum being generated with PoNS and look forward to finishing the year strong. I just thank you for your time and interest in Helius Medical Technologies, and we will speak with you next quarter. Thank you very much.

Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's conference. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
