1. Qualitative information regarding the settlement of accounts for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 (1) Explanation of operating results
All forward-looking statements included in this explanation were determined reasonable by CYBERDYNE Inc. (the "Company") and its group companies (collectively referred to as the "Group") based on currently available information for the consolidated nine months ended December 31, 2024, and certain assumptions made by the Group.
To solve various issues facing society, the Group will make full use of "Cybernics" (a new field that integrates and combines human, robot, AI, and information systems) and handle HCPS (Human-Cyber- Physical Space) in a unified manner. Furthermore, through Cybernics, the Group promotes the realization of "Techno Peer Support" and future development by creating the "Cybernics Industry," a new industry that will follow the robotics and IT industries.
The Group defines "Techno Peer Support Society" as a safe and secure society where people and technology coexist, cooperate and mutually support each other to enhance the independence and freedom of people of all generations and solve various problems in their lives both mentally and physically. To realize Techno Peer Support Society and Cybernics Industry, the Group is developing various Cybernics Technologies that improve, regenerate, expand, and support the wearer's physical functions.
Status of business operation
<>
The Group continues its efforts to disseminate Cybernics Treatment, a treatment program using Medical HAL systems that aims to induce improvement and regeneration of the functions of the brain, nerves, and muscles into a global standard of treatment.
(Japan)
The Group continues to develop Cybernics Treatment for progressive neuromuscular disease patient where there is no established treatment method. Post-marketing surveillance on the Medical HAL Lower Limb Type Double-leg Model suggested a high efficacy and safety towards progressive neuromuscular diseases, for which no effective treatment methods are available in the medical world yet. Based on the extremely high efficacy and safety results obtained in post-market surveillance, Medical HAL Lower Limb Type was given increased points after the 2022 revision of medical treatment fees as "a remarkable functional improvement effect unprecedented in patients with progressive neuromuscular diseases for which no other effective treatment methods have been established, including already approved drugs" (excerpt from the medical technology evaluation proposal by the Japanese Society for Neurological Therapeutics).
Regarding spinal cord-related diseases, the Japanese Minister of Health, Labor, and Welfare ("MHLW") approved additional indications of HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (HAM) and hereditary spastic paraplegia for HAL on October 2022 and public health insurance is available in Japan from October 2023. Regarding traumatic spinal cord injuries, the Company is consulting with the regulators on the necessary steps to obtain medical device approvals.
Regarding stroke, the Company discussed the result of the investigator-initiated clinical trial using the Medical HAL Lower Limb Type single-leg model (HIT2016 trial). Considering the practice conditions surrounding acute stroke treatment and recovery rehabilitation, the Company is preparing additional studies (clinical trials) while consulting with the regulator.
In addition, the University of Tsukuba Hospital started clinical trials to investigate the effect of HAL on improving the physical functions of children affected by cerebral palsy in January 2022. In January 2025, the
- 2 -
small-size model of the Medical HAL Lower Limb Type was approved as a medical device for the same target diseases as the conventional model. With the approval of this small-size HAL, Cybernics Treatment has become available for patients with an estimated height of 100 cm to 150 cm, who previously had difficulty using the conventional model (intended for those 150 cm or taller).
With the small-size model now approved and certified as a medical device in the three major regions, including the United States and Europe, the Company will continue its efforts to obtain its medical device certification worldwide and accelerate the business expansion of Medical HAL.
(USA)
As a medical service platform for individual users, RISE Healthcare Group (RHG), the Company's subsidiary, is developing its business mainly in the Southern part of California. Four RHG facilities offer Cybernics Treatment using HAL. Since January 2023, the business of RHG has gradually shifted to paid service, and the number of treatment sessions is increasing steadily.
The Company also obtained marketing clearance for a smaller Medical HAL Lower Limb Type model and an additional indication of cerebral palsy (above 12 years old) from the U.S. FDA in May 2024. In addition, the company also received approval to expand the indications for the treatment of HTLV-1-related myelopathy (HAM) and hereditary spastic paraplegia, which were already approved in Japan.
Based on the accumulated experience of Cybernics Treatment in the U.S., the approval of a smaller model of Medical HAL, and the expansion of approved diseases, the Company will continue to expand the business in this region.
(EMEA: Mainly Europe and the Middle East)
The Group continues to promote Cybernics Treatment in the region. In Italy, following the installation of 25 units of the HAL series to Coopselios, a major social cooperative specializing in medical and nursing care services, an additional 10 units were installed in July 2024, with further expansions planned.
In October 2024, the "Cybernicx Future" event was held in Istanbul, Turkey, to strengthen international collaboration in the field of Cybernics. Interest in Cybernics technology is rapidly increasing in Turkey alongside the growth of medical tourism, and currently, 40 HAL units are in operation at four facilities across the country.
In November 2024, the company received an order for HAL series and other Cybernics products as part of the Ukraine Emergency Recovery and Reconstruction Project implemented by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The installation of these devices is planned for medical facilities in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, where they are expected to aid in the treatment of individuals injured by the war.
In Germany, the G-BA (German Federal Joint Committee), the public health insurance authority, has announced to conduct a clinical trial for spinal cord injury treatment under public medical insurance coverage. Currently, preparations, including the selection of clinical trial institutions, are underway.
In December 2024, the small-size model of the Medical HAL obtained medical device certification in compliance with the new European Medical Device Regulation (MDR). The Company will continue promoting the expansion of Cybernics treatment in Europe, including the small-size model.
(APAC: Asia Pacific)
CYBERDYNE MALAYSIA Sdn. Bhd. is working to disseminate Cybernics Treatment in a wide area of South East Asia, India, Australia, and Taiwan.
The Group continues to strengthen its partnership with Malaysia's government-affiliated Social Security Organization (PERKESO) to increase access for Malaysian patients under the PERKESO coverage. In May 2024, the Company conducted top-level meetings with the Malaysian government, including its Minister of
