Q: Can you walk through your assumptions on unit or revenue contribution in 2025 from the O&P channel? What goals do you have for that channel in '25? A: We plan to have more revenue from our direct provider business, which we are expanding by hiring more CPOs and increasing advertising spend. The O&P channel showed promising growth, with revenues doubling from Q3 to Q4 of last year. We trained 160 clinicians by the end of the year and expect this channel to contribute more significantly, but the majority of revenue will still come from our direct provider channel this year. (Paul Gudonis, CEO)
Q: How quickly can you ramp advertising spend, and what do you expect from a spend perspective in Q1? A: It's too early to tell if the cost per pipeline add will remain low. We're working through changes made by Meta with Facebook, which affected lead generation. We expect a slight increase in cost per pipeline add in Q1, but we've had a decent start to the year. (David Henry, CFO)
Q: What are the main reasons for authorization denials, and is there anything the company can do to reduce their frequency? A: Denials often cite the device as experimental or investigational, which we counter by highlighting CMS approval and past payments. Medical necessity is another reason, and we rely on physician documentation to demonstrate necessity. Our Chief Medical Officer engages with medical directors to advocate for coverage. (Paul Gudonis, CEO)
Q: How should we think about the international market in 2025? A: Germany has performed well, with many statutory health insurance plans covering MyoPro. We have over 100 O&P clinical partners in Germany, and we expect continued growth in this market. We are focusing on expanding marketing and clinical staff in Germany, as opening new international markets requires significant investment. (Paul Gudonis, CEO)
Q: Are there any risks to your 70%-71% gross margin with possible tariffs, and will tariffs impact your sales into Germany? A: We don't see any impact from tariffs on our current supply chain, as most components are sourced from the US. There are no tariffs affecting our exports to Germany currently, but potential tariffs could raise prices for O&P providers there. (Paul Gudonis, CEO)
