Importantly, more than 25% of our revenues last year were recurring pulse sales, indicating the high customer satisfaction rate associated with our SUPERB™ technology. Moreover, the recently completed fourth quarter represented our first quarter of non-GAAP operating profit, while our IFRS operating loss continues to narrow substantially and decreased 95% for the full-year as compared to 2022. The execution of our 2023 operating plan has demonstrated the commercial value and disruptive nature of the SUPERB™ technology platform as we look to achieve consistent, strong growth of both revenue and margins. The fiscal results reported today were underpinned and amplified throughout the year by selective geographic and indication expansions, support from a rapidly growing customer base, as well as technology innovation with follow through to new product launch. We are grateful for all of the support and recognition that we have received to date and look forward to continuing to earn the support of existing and new customers and patients alike in the new year.”

With a compound annual revenue growth rate of 85% since commercial launch of our SUPERB™ technology in 2020, significant momentum exists throughout our business.
