Kirk Huntsman, Vivos’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “In 2024, we increased revenue while continuing to lower our cost structure. We continued to receive FDA approvals on our products and position ourselves for long-term revenue growth. In 2024, we reduced operating expenses by 21% and reduced our operating loss by 35%. We believe we are well positioned to continue improvements in our results throughout 2025.”

“Importantly, this positive financial performance helped lay the foundation for the critical pivot we made during 2024 to a new marketing and distribution strategy for our cutting-edge OSA appliances away from our legacy VIP model and towards a model focused on contractual, profit-sharing alliances with sleep healthcare providers,” Mr. Huntsman continued. “This pivot was launched by our execution in June of a strategic marketing and distribution alliance with Rebis Health Holdings, LLC (“Rebis”), an operator of multiple sleep testing and treatment centers in Colorado. We expect this initial alliance will be the first of a series of similar alliances and potential acquisitions of sleep healthcare providers across the country, which we will use to drive sales of our novel appliances and services. Under the new alliance model, we are collaborating with Rebis to offer OSA patients a full spectrum of evidence-based treatments such as our own advanced, proprietary and FDA-cleared CARE oral medical devices, oral appliances and additional adjunctive therapies and other methods, including CPAP treatment. The program commenced in August of 2024 in the Longmont office of Rebis and has since expanded to two additional locations.   We believe the advantages of this new strategic marketing and distribution model are compelling.

• First, it provides Vivos-trained providers direct access to far more OSA patients who are likely candidates for OSA treatment with our method. As we roll out this new model going forward, potentially thousands of patients each month could be introduced to Vivos treatment options.
  
  

• Second, we expect to close (meaning convincing the patient to start) more OSA treatment cases using Vivos-trained personnel. In our pilot testing, which we conducted at over 45 separate locations around the United States during 2023 and 2024, our Vivos-trained personnel were able to consistently close over 70% of patients into some form of Vivos treatment. These figures were relatively consistent across diverse demographic and economic patient profiles and geographies.
  
  

• Third, top line revenue and profit per case are expected to rise. We project that each patient who signs up for Vivos treatment represents a potential increase to Vivos top line revenue with contribution margins of approximately 50%. This significantly alters the economics to Vivos, when compared to our prior model, increasing top-line revenues per case start by approximately 4-6 times.
  

In summary, under our new model, we expect to present Vivos treatments to more patients, refer a higher percentage of cases into Vivos treatment, and potentially generate more revenue and profit per case.   Moreover, our first of its kind FDA clearance to treat mild to severe OSA in adults and moderate to severe OSA in children ages 6 - 17 has provided the credibility for sleep centers and medical doctors to recommend Vivos oral medical devices to their patients.”

“Finally, we took actions in 2024 to strengthen our capital structure and improve our liquidity. During the year, we raised approximately $17.9 million through four separate equity transactions, including a key $7.5 million investment from private equity firm New Seneca Partners, which we announced alongside our execution of the Rebis agreement. Given all this, the key relationships we’ve established, our success in managing costs and reducing our cash burn, our increased liquidity and enhanced capital structure, we are extremely excited about our prospects for 2025. We believe we have all the necessary tools in place to implement our growth plans, drive increased revenues and achieve cash flow positive operations and profitability in the foreseeable future, and we remain committed to doing so,” Mr. Huntsman concluded.
