Tivic Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Subsequent Events

Tivic Health® Systems, Inc. (“Tivic”, Nasdaq: TIVC), a health tech company that develops and commercializes bioelectronic medicine, today announced its first quarter 2024 financial results with discussion of subsequent events.

"Q1 2024 and the weeks thereafter represent a critical juncture in Tivic's advancement in the bioelectronics field. We increased gross profit and reduced operating loss year-over-year by stabilizing our cost of goods, improving our technology, simplifying our sales channels, and focusing our marketing strategies, resulting in nearly 30% reduction in operating loss," said Jennifer Ernst, CEO of Tivic Health.

"We also passed a major milestone in our non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) program, completing enrollment in our clinical research at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health in Q1 2024. We subsequently announced in May that, with a non-invasive VNS system, we had successfully demonstrate substantive changes in heart rate variability, autonomic nervous system activity and neurologic activity, at magnitudes equivalent in many cases to implanted technologies. We believe that the opportunity for Tivic in this field is significant, and I look forward to discussing this program further with investors as we move forward."

The Company's novel non-invasive cervical vagus nerve stimulation approach opens the door for Tivic to address several high-value medical conditions in neurology, psychiatry and cardiology including potential clinical use cases in epilepsy, stroke, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Recent Events

On May 8, 2024, the Company announced the final results of their pilot research study with The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health. Through this collaboration, Tivic Health has confirmed the effectiveness of its patent-pending non-invasive cervical vagus nerve stimulation (ncVNS) approach, which induces responses in the autonomic, cardiac, and central nervous systems and has the potential to have clinical utility in several major disease areas.

On May 13, 2024, we sold an aggregate of 4,710,000 shares of our common stock, together with Series A Warrants to purchase 4,710,000 shares of our common stock and Series B Warrants to purchase 7,065,000 shares of our common stock, to certain investors at a combined public offering price of $0.85 per share and accompanying warrants. This offering resulted in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $4.0 million. Aggregate net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the placement agent's fees and offering expenses paid by the Company, was approximately $3.5 million. Maxim Group LLC served as the placement agent for the offering. The securities issued in connection with the offering were registered pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-278383), which was initially filed with the Commission on March 29, 2024, and amended on April 29 and May 8, 2024, and which the Commission declared effective on May 9, 2024.

Q1 2024 Business Activities and Operational Updates

  • Announced completion of enrollment in our clinical study with The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research at Northwell Health, testing a proprietary approach to non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation.
  • Continued to invest in our intellectual property portfolio, filing our first vagus nerve stimulation patent and prosecuting existing filings.
