NeuroPace, Inc. (NASDAQ:NPCE), a medical device company focused on transforming the lives of people living with epilepsy, today reported preliminary unaudited results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025 with total revenue of approximately $26.6 million, an increase of 24% over the fourth quarter of 2024. RNS revenue is expected to be approximately $22.4 million, representing growth of 26% over the fourth quarter of 2024. Cash equivalents and short-term investments balance as of December 31, 2025 was $61.1 million, a $1.1 million increase compared with $60.0 million at the end of the third quarter 2025.

For full year 2025, total preliminary unaudited revenue is expected to be approximately $100 million, an increase of 25% over 2024. RNS revenue for full year 2025 is expected to be approximately $81.7 million, representing growth of 25% over the full year 2024.

"2025 was an important year for NeuroPace as we delivered strong growth, strengthened the core RNS business, and advanced our strategic priorities," said Joel Becker, Chief Executive Officer of NeuroPace. "Our preliminary results reflect robust demand for RNS, disciplined execution, and a business that is increasingly focused on high margin, high impact personalized neuromodulation. As we look to 2026, we believe we are very well positioned to drive durable growth, expand access to RNS therapy in existing and new indications, and continue progress toward our long-term profitability objectives."

Discontinued Operations

NeuroPace and DIXI Medical entered into an amendment to the Distribution Agreement to end the wind down period and cease commercial partnership activities on December 31, 2025, earlier than the previously agreed wind down period ending March 31, 2026. Under the amended wind down plan, NeuroPace is currently selling back, at cost, the remaining DIXI inventory to DIXI Medical, which is expected to be completed prior to the close of the first quarter 2026.

Accordingly, the Company expects to begin reporting its DIXI related financial results as a discontinued operation beginning with its first quarter 2026 financial results, and in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company's continuing operations basis will exclude the impact of DIXI for both the 2026 reporting period and the applicable comparable periods presented.

A supplemental financial schedule with preliminary unaudited DIXI related profit and loss results is currently available on the NeuroPace website at www.investors.neuropace.com.

2026 Outlook

The Company currently anticipates 2026 total revenue of $98 million to $100 million, which contemplates growth of 20% to 22% for the underlying core RNS business compared to preliminary unaudited 2025 RNS revenue. Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 is expected to be approximately $21 million to $22 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company filed a Premarket Approval Supplement (PMA-S) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking to expand the labeled indication for its RNS System to include patients with antiseizure-medication (ASM) resistant idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) with generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Under current FDA guidelines, PMA supplements are typically reviewed within approximately 180 days, although actual review times may vary. The Company's 2026 revenue guidance assumes no contribution from expanded indications such as IGE, Service revenue or sales of DIXI products.

2026 gross margin is expected to be in the range of 81% to 82% compared to full year 2025 preliminary unaudited gross margin of 77.2%. Gross margin on a continuing operations basis, excluding the impact of DIXI, is expected to be approximately 82% in full year 2025 on a preliminary unaudited basis.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results Conference Call

The Company plans to release its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results and additional full year 2026 operating expense guidance in early March 2026. The preliminary unaudited revenue amounts for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 included in this press release are being provided prior to the completion of review and audit procedures by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and are therefore subject to adjustment. More details will be provided at a later date.
