“I am proud of our team’s execution in 2021, as we expanded the number implanting centers to 150 and delivered 20% initial implant revenue growth for the full year,” said Mike Favet, Neuropace CEO.
“We also enrolled our first patient in the adolescent study and received IDE [investigational device exemption] approval for primary generalized epilepsy – both important steps to expand our indication and market opportunity."
Investment thesis
Neuropace went public in a highly anticipated offering in April 2021, raising $117.3 million in gross proceeds at $17 per share via JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley.
The stock soared to $27.38 in its first week of trading, but has since fallen 72% from that early high.
The selloff appears overdone to us, and we think the stock has found its floor at current levels.
- The RNS system is unique and gaining adoption
- There is compelling clinical evidence demonstrating improved
- outcomes over time
- The addressable market in the US alone for epilepsy treatment is estimated to be $26 billion.
- The company received Indication expansion into younger patients and generalized epilepsy.
- 150 level 4 comprehensive epilepsy centers completed an RNS System implant in 2021, a 14% increase over 2020.
- Revenue growth was impacted by COVID-19, and the company thinks there's a strong backlog of patients desiring the implant.
