NeurAxis Q2 2025: Unpacking Contradictions in Sales Strategy, Reimbursement, and Revenue Growth

Sales force expansion and market strategy, reimbursement expectations, insurance coverage and prior authorization, revenue growth and breakeven point, IB-Stim availability for adults are the key contradictions discussed in NeurAxis's latest 2025Q2 earnings call.



Revenue Growth and Market Penetration:
- NeurAxis reported revenue of $894,000 for Q2 2025, a 46% increase compared to $612,000 in Q2 2024.
- This growth was driven by increasing market penetration, with a significant portion of sales attributed to patients with health insurance coverage and financial assistance programs.

FDA Milestones and Market Expansion:
- The FDA expanded the IB-Stim label to include functional dyspepsia with nausea symptoms, nearly doubling the company's market opportunity.
- This expansion was crucial as it aligns with the current indications for other products and relies on the same sales force and marketing infrastructure.

Financial Assistance Program and Discounting Impact:
- The average selling price for patients receiving IB-Stim through financial assistance was 65% below the list price.
- This discounting is attributed to the financial assistance program targeting patients without insurance coverage, affecting gross margin.

Operating Expense Leverage and Cash Position:
- Total operating expenses for the second quarter were $2.5 million, a 10% decrease from $2.7 million in Q2 2024.
- This leverage is due to cost savings, including the internal absorption of services by new hires, which supports the company's goal of reaching cash flow breakeven.
