Q & A Highlights

Q: Could you elaborate on the DME partners in the US and whether the ARC will be sold outright or placed under an imaging-only scenario? A: Erez Meltzer, CEO: We have both options. Some will be sold as CapEx direct, where they handle installation and sales, while others will follow the typical model we currently have.

Q: Can you provide an update on the US platform and expected placements for 2025? A: Erez Meltzer, CEO: We are doubling our team every quarter, with five salespeople currently. We are expanding clinical support to build market awareness. We expect significant impact from channel partners and are targeting small to medium-sized medical imaging centers, orthopedic clinics, and multi-specialty medical centers.

Q: How many systems were deployed in the US during the quarter, resulting in $136,000 in system revenue? A: Erez Meltzer, CEO: We don't disclose exact numbers, but systems are in various stages of installation. We expect channel partners to add value, and each new salesperson expands our installation base.

Q: How should we think about pricing for ARC in Europe and its impact on gross margin? A: Erez Meltzer, CEO: In Europe, we have expanded our team and engaged new distributors. We expect installations to start in the next six months, with most sales being CapEx and a smaller portion under a different model.

Q: Can you provide any guidance or outlook for 2025, particularly for teleradiology services and AI solutions? A: Ran Daniel, CFO: We don't provide guidance, but teleradiology services are expected to grow in line with analyst consensus. AI solutions saw a one-time income in Q3, but we expect growth in 2025 with an increase in clients and pilots.

Q: When should we expect an inflection point in imaging solutions revenue? A: Ran Daniel, CFO: We don't provide specific guidance, but growth will be driven by US and EU market expansion, new product clearances, and increased market awareness.

Q: How will the capital raised be used to drive system placement? A: Ran Daniel, CFO: We raised $38 million gross in Q1 2024, which will be used to accelerate commercialization of both imaging and AI products.

Q: Do you anticipate continuing to use the ATM facility this year? A: Ran Daniel, CFO: We don't provide forward-looking actions, but we are conservative and consider existing shareholders when making decisions.
