The Company’s ordinary shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Since its establishment, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, IceCure Medical Inc. in the United States (the “US Subsidiary"), IceCure Medical HK Limited in Hong Kong (the “Hong Kong Subsidiary”) and IceCure (Shanghai) MedTech Co., Ltd. in China (the “Chinese Subsidiary, and together with the Company, the US Subsidiary and the Hong Kong Subsidiary, the “Group”), have been engaged in the research, development, and commercialization of minimally invasive medical devices for cryoablation (freezing) of tumors in the human body, using its propriety liquid nitrogen cryoablation technology, as an alternative to surgical intervention to remove tumors.

The US Subsidiary was established on April 6, 2011 in the State of Delaware and is engaged in the business development, marketing, clinical trial management, and sale of the Company's products in the United States. The Hong Kong Subsidiary was established on September 26, 2018 and commenced its activity in 2021.

The Chinese Subsidiary in China commenced its operations on January 1, 2021 and is engaged in business development and obtaining regulatory approvals for the Company's products in China.
The Group’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the possibility of failing to secure additional funding to commercialize its technology, obtaining regulatory approvals and other risks.

(U.S. dollars in thousands, except sharedata and per share data)
NOTE 1 - GENERAL (Cont.)
| B. | Going Concern (Cont.): |
|---|
Such conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising funds from existing shareholders and/or new investors. However, there is no assurance such funding will be available to the Company or that it will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or will provide the Company with sufficient funds to successfully complete the development of, and to commercialize, its products. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets, carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES
| A. | Basis of presentation |
|---|
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2024, and for the six months period then ended have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. The information included in these condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2024. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.
| B. | Use of estimates: |
|---|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| C. | Significant Accounting Policies |
|---|
The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are identical to those applied in the preparation of the latest annual financial statements.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
| D. | New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective: |
|---|
Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The ASU also allows, in addition to the measure that is most consistent with U.S. GAAP, the disclosure of additional measures of segment profit or loss that are used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendment also includes other changes to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures, including further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
NOTE 3 - SHAREHOLDERS’EQUITY
On January 12, 2024, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with Maxim Group LLC, as sales agent (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell Ordinary Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $9,700 thousand from time to time through the Sales Agent (the “ATM Facility”). The Sales Agent receives commission equal to 2.5% of the gross sales price per Ordinary Share sold pursuant to the terms of the agreement and received customary indemnification and contribution rights. We also agreed to reimburse the Sales Agent for certain specified expenses. As of June 30, 2024, we have sold 3,787,976 Ordinary Shares pursuant to the ATM Facility, having aggregate gross proceeds of $5,035 thousand and aggregate net proceeds of $4,727 thousand.

The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are based upon our current expectations andare subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to inaccurateassumptions and known or unknown risks and uncertainties.
Revenues
Our revenues primarily consist of (i) selling or placing our ProSense and IceSense3 systems and selling their disposables and related services; and (ii) revenues from granting the exclusive distribution rights to our products in Japan and other services to Terumo Corporation, which also include providing technical, regulatory and clinical materials and support in obtaining regulatory approvals in Japan.
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues consists primarily of salaries and related personnel expenses, materials for production of our products, subcontractors’ expenses and other related production expenses.
Gross Margin
Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of revenue, is affected by a variety of factors that influence our revenues and the cost of goods sold. Revenues are affected mostly by the varying ratio between selling and placing systems, different selling prices depending on sales channels, territories and the mix of products and currency fluctuation, mainly the U.S. Dollar against the Euro and revenue recognition from granting exclusive distribution rights in Japan. The cost of revenues is affected mostly by the changes in cost of materials and import costs, subcontractors’ costs, cost of personal, and currency fluctuation, mainly the U.S. Dollar against the NIS. Our gross margin is also affected by production volumes and production efficiency.
Operating Expenses
Our current operating expenses consist of three components — research and development expenses, marketing and sales expenses and general and administrative expenses. To ensure that we are well-positioned to achieve our near-term objectives, we have implemented an expense reduction plan setting out reductions in non-revenue generating and clinical efforts costs, lowering monthly cash expenditure, and ensuring that we can meet our primary goals in the second half of 2024.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefits, subcontractors’ expenses, materials and other related research and development expenses, clinical studies and regulation expenses.
Our research and development expenses may increase as we continue to develop our new products, pursue new regulatory indications in the US and other territories, collect updated clinical data, and recruit additional research and development and regulation employees.
Sales and Marketing
Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefits, payments to consultants, costs associated with conventions, travel and other marketing and sales expenses.
We expect that our sales and marketing expenses will materially increase as we continue to enhance our market penetration efforts and recruit additional sales and marketing employees.
3
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefits, professional services fees for accounting, legal, directors’ fees, facilities, and associate costs, insurance and other general and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses may increase as a result of the expansion of our business.
Finance income, net
Finance income consists primarily of interest income from deposits and exchange rate differences on cash and cash equivalents, deposits and other assets and liabilities which are denominated in NIS and EUR.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Since our inception through June 30, 2024, we have funded our operations principally from the issuance of ordinary shares, options, convertible securities, loans, revenues from sale of products and grants received from the Israeli Innovation Authority, or IIA. As of June 30, 2024, we had $10,459 thousand in cash and cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits, compared with $11,062 thousand as of December 31, 2023 and $16,679 thousand as of June 30, 2023.

We did not record any cash provided by or used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Financial Arrangements
As of June 30, 2024, our credit arrangements include grants from the IIA.
Since 2021, we have financed our operations primarily through proceeds from the sale of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, public offerings on Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or the TASE, and the private sale of equity securities and convertible debt, raising an aggregate amount of net proceeds of $54 million.
On January 26, 2021, **** we entered into a securities purchase agreement, or the January 2021 SPA, with certain investors, or the January 2021 Investors. Pursuant to the January 2021 SPA, we received an aggregate amount of $15 million, against issuance of 11,485,697 Ordinary Shares. The January 2021 Investors were granted a 12-month participation right following the January 2021 Second Closing, in future financings equal to 50% of the subsequent financing, subject to certain conditions. We also undertook to refrain from issuing any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares equivalents from the date of the January 2021 SPA until 60 calendar days from the January 2021 Second Closing, subject to certain exempt issuances. On March 9, 2021, we received $9 million and issued 6,891,418 Ordinary Shares, and on May 9, 2021, we received $6 million and issued 4,594,279 Ordinary Shares.

On December 13, 2021, we raised gross proceeds of $17.0 million through a public offering of 3,892,152 Ordinary Shares, inclusive of 578,325 shares offered pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a public offering price of $3.45 per share before underwriting discounts and commissions, and to certain investors in lieu of ordinary shares, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,034,000 ordinary shares at a price to the public of $3.449 per pre-funded warrant, which represents the per share public offering price for the ordinary shares less the $0.001 per share exercise price for each such pre-funded warrant. After deducting closing costs, underwriting discounts, commissions and fees, our net proceeds from this offering were $16.0 million.
On December 23, 2022, we announced the closing of a “best efforts” public offering of 8,787,880 Ordinary Shares at a public offering price of $1.65 per share. After deducting placement agent fees, commissions and other offering expenses, our net proceeds from this offering were $13.6 million. Several of our long-term institutional shareholders, including Epoch, participated in the transaction on the same terms as other investors.
On January 12, 2024, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with Maxim Group LLC, as sales agent, pursuant to which we may offer and sell Ordinary Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $9,700,000 from time to time through Maxim Group LLC (the “ATM Facility”). The Ordinary Shares will be offered and sold pursuant to our currently effective registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-267272), the prospectus contained therein and the prospectus supplement filed with the SEC dated January 12, 2024. We will pay Maxim Group LLC a commission equal to 2.5% of the gross sales price per share sold pursuant to the terms of the agreement and provided Maxim Group LLC with customary indemnification and contribution rights. We also agreed to reimburse Maxim Group LLC for certain specified expenses. During the first six months of 2024, we sold 3,787,976 Ordinary Shares pursuant to the ATM Facility, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $5,035 thousand, aggregate net proceeds of $4,727 thousand and aggregate compensation paid to Maxim Group LLC of $126 thousand with respect to such sales. As of August 15, 2024, we have sold 6,292,839 Ordinary Shares pursuant to the equity distribution agreement, having aggregate gross proceeds of $6.8 million and aggregate net proceeds of $6.4 million.
In addition, since our inception, we received an aggregate of $2.6 million (including accumulated interest) from the IIA.
Current Outlook
We have financed our operations to date primarily through proceeds from sales of our Ordinary Shares and convertible securities, sales of our products and grants from the IIA. We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since inception in 2006.
We expect that we will continue to generate substantial operating losses and fund our operations primarily through the utilization of current financial resources, sales of our products, and additional raises of capital. These conditions raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plan involves raising funds from existing shareholder and potential investors. There is no assurance, however, that such funding would be available to us, that it could be obtained on favorable terms, or that we will be provided with sufficient funds to continue to develop and commercialize our products.
Since 2012, we have generated revenues from the sale of our products and revenues from granting the exclusive distribution rights to our products in Japan, Singapore and Thailand to Terumo Corporation, which also include providing technical, regulatory and clinical materials and support in obtaining regulatory approvals. However, in February 2023, Terumo notified us that it ceased distribution activities in Singapore with effect from March 31, 2023.
We expect to generate revenues from the sale of our products and other revenues in the future. However, we do not expect these revenues to support all of our operation in the near future. We expect our expenses to increase in the future in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue the development of our MultiSense system and continue our commercialization efforts. Furthermore, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company listed on Nasdaq. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations.

During the six months ending June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits were $10,459 thousand, and we had a working capital of $8,847 thousand and an accumulated deficit of $96,751 thousand. The Company’s current cash and cash equivalents position is not sufficient to fund its planned operations for at least the next 12 months beyond the filing date of this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. Such conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan includes raising funds from existing shareholders and/or outside potential investors. However, there is no assurance such funding will be available to the Company or that it will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or will provide the Company with sufficient funds to successfully complete the development of, and to commercialize, its products In addition, our operating plans may change as a result of many factors that may currently be unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
| ● | our ability to sell our products<br>according to our plans; |
|---|---|
| ● | the progress and cost of our<br>research and development activities; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | the costs associated with the<br>manufacturing our products; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | the costs of our clinical trials<br>and obtaining regulatory approvals; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | the costs of filing, prosecuting,<br>enforcing and defending patent claims and other intellectual property rights; |
| --- | --- |
| ● | the cost of our commercialization<br>efforts, marketing, sales and distribution of our products the potential costs of contracting with third parties to provide marketing<br>and distribution services for us or for building such capacities internally; and |
| --- | --- |
| ● | the magnitude of our general<br>and administrative expenses. |
| --- | --- |
Until we can generate significant recurring revenues and profit, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through debt or equity financings. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available to us when needed, on acceptable terms, if at all. If funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate research or development plans, and/or commercialization efforts and/or regulatory efforts with respect to our products in different territories.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting policies is included in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” under “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” section in our Annual Report, as well as our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024, included elsewhere in this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K.
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. At the time of the preparation of the financial statements, our management is required to use estimates, evaluations, and assumptions which affect the application of the accounting policy and the amounts reported for assets, obligations, income, and expenses. Any estimates and assumptions are continually reviewed. The changes to the accounting estimates are credited during the period in which the change to the estimate is made.
Use of estimates in the preparation of financialstatements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Share-based compensation
We measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include options, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. We amortize such compensation amounts, if any, over the respective service periods of the award. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, or the Black-Scholes Model, an acceptable model in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to value options. Option valuation models require the input of assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based awards, the estimated stock price volatility, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected dividend yield. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon the yield from Israel Treasury zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term. Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the term of the award. Our calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices over a period equal to the expected term of the awards. The average expected life of options was based on the contractual terms of the stock option using the simplified method. We utilize a dividend yield of zero based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no current intention to pay cash dividends. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. We recognize the compensation expense for share-based compensation granted based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with ASC 718. We generally recognize the compensation expense over the employee’s requisite service period. We account for forfeitures when they occur.

“The U.S. is the largest healthcare market in the world, and as a patient-centric company, we believe it’s critically important to offer patients a safe and proven non-surgical procedure with a system that is cleared in 15 countries, including in the U.S. Moreover, we strongly believe that our first half 2024 system and probe sales growth of 20%, notwithstanding the revenue recognition from Terumo, is primarily due to women and their physicians making a conscious choice to use ProSense® and avoid a surgical procedure because it’s a win-win scenario for patient, physician, health provider, and payor.”
Second Quarter and Recent ProSense® Efficacy& Safety Data Reported by Independent Researchers
ProSense® Destroyed 100% of Breast CancerTumors in Independent Study of Patients Who Chose Cryoablation Instead of Surgery: The aim of the study titled “Acceptance and results of cryoablation for the treatment of early breast cancer in non-surgical patients” published in the British Journal ofRadiology was to evaluate the acceptance of percutaneous cryoablation treatment by patients with early-stage breast cancer who choose not to have surgery. Of the 45 patients offered cryoablation with ProSense®, 43 patients, or 95.6% accepted. 36 of these, representing 39 malignant tumors (median size 24mm), proceeded to undergo cryoablation. The median age of patients treated with cryoablation was 87, with a range of 60-96. After a median follow-up of 16 months, the complete ablation rate in luminal A and B breast cancer with tumors ≤ 25mm was 100%. No major complications were seen.
Zero (0%) Breast Cancer Local Recurrence 5Years Following Treatment in Japan with ProSense®: Data from a study performed in Japan was published in an article titled “Percutaneous ultrasound–guided cryoablation for early–stage primary breast cancer: a follow–up study in Japan,” in the journal Breast Cancer. Eighteen early-stage breast cancer patients, with a mean age of 59.0 [±9.0 years], with a mean tumor size of 9.8 ±2.3 millimeters, who underwent treatment with ProSense® were followed for a mean of 44.3 months. No patients had local recurrence or distant metastasis in the 5-year follow-up. No serious adverse events were reported. Cosmetic outcomes were excellent and the overall patient satisfaction level and patient quality of life improved post-cryoablation.
EuropeanStudy Provided More Evidence Supporting ProSense® Treatment for Metastatic and Recurrent Breast Cancer: Data published in the highly influential peer-reviewed journal, Cancers, concluded cryoablation with ProSense® is a safe, local treatment for breast cancer with a low complication rate, high complete ablation rate and satisfactory overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS) and local tumor control. The recurrence rate was 8.9% in a population of 45 patients who had previously received various therapies before cryoablation including surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy with tumor sizes of up to 4 centimeters in diameter. Of those patients, 11 had recurrent tumors and 21 had metastatic disease. This higher-risk population contrasts with the early-stage breast cancer patient subjects in IceCure’s U.S. ICE3 trial. The European study titled “CT-Guided Percutaneous Cryoablation of Breast Cancer: A Single-Center Experience” was conducted at Goethe University in Germany.
99.74% Recurrence Free Rate for Women withBreast Cancer Treated with ProSense® in Japan: From April 2014 through August 2020, 389 breast cancer patients with tumor lesions of less than 15 millimeters in diameter were treated with ProSense®. The ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence rate (IBTR) was 0.26%, resulting in a 99.74% recurrence free rate. These data were presented at 32nd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Breast Cancer Society, where the demand for minimally invasive breast cancer treatment was an overarching theme.
Financial Results for the Six Months EndedJune 30, 2024
Sales of ProSense® systems and disposable probes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 grew by 20% to $1,654,000 compared to $1,373,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The growth was primarily attributable to sales in Europe, the U.S., Japan and other territories in Asia which were partially offset by a decrease in sales in China. Total Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, grew to $1,754,000 from $1,647,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to an increase in the sale of ProSense® systems and disposables, which was partially offset by a decrease in revenue recognition and other services in Japan of $100,000 and $274,000 in the first six months of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 grew to $799,000 from $754,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 46%. Non-GAAP gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased to $699,000 from $480,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $219,000 or 46%. Non-GAAP gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 grew to 42% from 35% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, which exclude revenue from the exclusive distribution agreements and other services in Japan, was attributable to the increase of 20% in revenue from sales of ProSense® systems. Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin are financial measures that may be defined as “non-GAAP financial measures” by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measure, see Appendix A to this press release.
Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $3,536,000 compared to $4,190,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in development expenses for the XSense™ System, which received FDA clearance in June 2024, and a decrease in clinical and regulatory costs as the Company concluded the ICE3 study in March 2024 and submitted the application to the FDA in April 2024. Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $2,296,000 compared to $2,253,000 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024, narrowed to $1,845,000 from $2,349,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to $7,677,000 from $8,792,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses was attributable to reductions in research and development, and general and administrative expenses, due to the Company’s initiative to reduce non-critical operating expenses which were partially offset by an increase in sales and marketing expenses.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 narrowed to $6,690,000 million, or $0.14 per share compared to a net loss of $7,657,000 million, or $0.17 per share, for the same period last year.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, including short-term deposits, of approximately $10.5 million, compared to $11 million as of December 31, 2023. As of July 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.3 million. During the first half of 2024, the Company raised $4.7 million in net proceeds from the sale of 3,787,976 ordinary shares under its at-the-market (“ATM”) offering facility.
Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP), this press release contains certain financial measures which may be defined as “non-GAAP financial measures” by the SEC. The Company defines non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit less revenue from exclusive distribution agreements and other services. The Company has provided non-GAAP gross profit in this press release because it is a key measure used by management and the board of directors as an indication of our gross profit from sales of our systems and disposables and management believes that it is useful to investors’ understanding and assessment of the Company’s gross profit without the impact of revenue recorded from the Company’s exclusive distribution agreements and other services. The Company has provided a reconciliation below of non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliations to those financial results should be carefully evaluated.
