- As of March 31, 2022, the Company had shipped 337 OCD coils as add-on helmets to certain of BrainsWay’s new and existing systems.
- Cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits as of March 31, 2022, amounted to $54.7 million, compared with $57.3 million as of December 31, 2021.
- Hosted key opinion leader (KOL) webinar on Company’s Deep TMS therapy for treating anxious depression.
- Enhanced leadership structure to drive Company’s growth:

- Appointed Joachim “Joe” Seidel, Ph.D., to the newly created position of Vice President of Corporate Development and Strategy.
- Appointed Eric Hirt as Vice President of U.S. Sales.
“Our strong first quarter performance reflects the continued momentum in our overall business,” stated Christopher von Jako, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of BrainsWay. “We generated $8.0 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2022, which represented a 30% increase as compared to the first quarter of 2021, and our seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth. These results are especially impressive as the team faced meaningful operational challenges due to the Omicron surge in the first half of the quarter.”
“Importantly, demand for our Deep TMS therapy in multiple indications continues to grow, and we anticipate that the current positive operating trends we are experiencing will continue throughout 2022 and beyond,” continued Dr. von Jako. “As such, in order to leverage key tailwinds in our business, our recent strategically enhanced leadership structure is aimed at driving long-term growth globally.”
