With that, I'd now like to turn the call over to Erez Meltzer. Speaker 200:02:47Thank you for joining us today. And as always, we appreciate your continuing support of Nanox and our mission as we strive for global health equity via innovation, particularly in medical technology and AI, which we believe is key and can directly impact patient outcomes. We aim to offer a comprehensive solution that connects medical imaging solutions from scan to diagnosis. During this call, we will provide updates on our strategic partnerships, product launches and market expansions. We will also discuss our operational achievements. Speaker 200:03:30Our CFO, Rand Daniel, will present the financial highlights and we will conclude with a Q and A session. We look forward to sharing our progress with you and answering questions you may have. Let's get started. We have kicked off 2024 with a positive momentum, achieving milestones in our U. S. Speaker 200:03:52Commercialization work, strategic partnership, product launches and market expansion outside the U. S. In the Q1 of 2024, we have continued to make strides in our operational performance. Our key operational metrics reflect our commitment to excellence and our relentless pursuit of our mission to make medical imaging more accessible globally through innovative medical imaging technology. In the U. Speaker 200:04:23S, we are continuing with our installation plan. As of today, we have about 20 systems in the U. S. Of which some have been installed and several more are in different stages of shipment and deployment. We have manufactured dozens of systems today and we are confident that we can meet the accelerating demand for non Arc systems that we are seeing in the U. Speaker 200:04:48S. Market. Last month, we hosted an in person live demonstration of the NanoxRx system on a patient as part of our investor event in Dynamic Medical Imaging in New Jersey. Investors witnessed the entire patient scanning workflow with Nanox Arc and observed the speed and precision of the generated images as well as for its clinical utility. Additionally, we presented samples from the undergoing CHEST clinical trial in Belysan Hospital in Israel and outline the path to expanded indications in the U. Speaker 200:05:31S. Outside MSK. As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, we are staying ahead of the curve by leveraging our cutting edge technology and strategic partnerships. For current installations, I can share that we recently received initial indication for reimbursement for Nanox Heart, a scan from a managed care insurance company. On a previous investor call, we discussed the building out of the support and service infrastructure Nanook's ARC users will need as deployment accelerates, specifically the Georgia site at 626 Imaging Academy, which serves as a technical and training center for technicians seeking to be trained on the use of the system. Speaker 200:06:23Anticipating the need for another vendor beyond 6 to 6 to provide installation services as well as routine servicing of deployed Nanox Art system, we have entered into a 3rd party agreement with SwissRay. Located in Bridgewater, New Jersey, Swissray is one of the forefront experts in the area of digital or geography from sales for installation, setup, training and service. The agreement covers system installations, user support, troubleshooting and regular system maintenance. As we continue to expand our footprint on the ground in the U. S, we will constantly evaluate the need for commercial personnel to drive our growth, while also closely monitoring the need for service infrastructure to effectively support our advancements. Speaker 200:07:19Moreover, we have expanded the capabilities of our Nanox Arc System with the addition of specialized MSK protocols, including protocols for cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. In addition to spine imaging, we have also fine tuned our MSP protocols to include more detailed patient positioning options and further enhancements, which will aid healthcare providers in obtaining clearer and more accurate diagnostic images, facilitating better patient outcomes. These new protocols are designed to offer more precise and detailed imaging options, catering specifically to the needs of our customers based on feedback we have received from them. Thanks to our advanced cloud based architecture, these upgrades have been implemented remotely across all systems without the need of physical modification or on-site visits. This approach significantly reduces service work hours and eliminates the need for travel, bringing efficiency and convenience to healthcare facilities. Speaker 200:08:38All upgrades have been meticulously performed in alignment with applicable regulatory requirements, ensuring our system continue to operate within their intended use and safety standards. We are confident that these upgrades will empower healthcare professionals further, elevate diagnosis capabilities and enhance patient care in all facilities equipped with an on of the art system. Turning to our deployment efforts outside of the U. S. Market. Speaker 200:09:10As previously mentioned, we continue to advance our commercial footprint in Africa, Latin America and Asia. We have had a unit installed at the University of Ghana Medical Center, UGMC, and which has received local regulatory clearance. We have had a footprint in Africa for some time and will continue to press our commercialization there. Furthermore, we are in the process of initiating a clinical trial at UGMC as part of our multi site clinical trial. Latin America, we continue to invest our commercial activities with respect to the NanoxR and Nanox Connect in Mexico, Peru and Chile. Speaker 200:09:56At the high level, we will expand our geographic footprint as we achieve local regulatory authorizations. We also have Nanox Connect operating systems deployed in various countries including Ghana, Morocco, Cameroon and Israel. Some of these systems have been paid for upfront, which we refer to as CapEx model. Others are operating under the MSAS model where we charge per scan and some are currently being used for demonstration purposes. In our quest to promote healthcare globally, we recently announced our entry in the South Korea market through our collaboration with Ahealz, a healthcare distribution company and SCL Science, AhealsV affiliated company and subsidiary of Global Healthcare Group, SCL, the All Clinic Laboratories. Speaker 200:10:59A HealthV plans to assist Nanox in efforts to secure local authorization and licenses to enable the importation, marketing and sales of the Nanox Arc in South Korea and will also include SEL Science integrating Nanox AI solution. Additionally, Nanox Marketplace, a teradiology services platform that provides remote access to radiology and cardiology experts will potentially be integrated with SGL Sciences, teleradiology centers in South Korea and other overseas markets. This expansion is a testament to our ongoing efforts and our partners' commitment to bringing comprehensive medical imaging solutions to South Korea. We hope the South Korea collaboration to be a stepping stone into the broader Southeast Asia market for the entire Nanox product suite. Turning to our important AI business segment, Nanox AI recently signed 2 agreements. Speaker 200:12:07Covera Health, a leading healthcare technology company, has signed a multiyear contract with Nanox AI to provide its 3 advanced AI solutions: cardiac, bone and liver. Covera Health delivers clinically validated solutions to population health that improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs and enhance value based care by supporting radiologists with technology capabilities that emphasizes improvement of quality and performance. Under these new agreements, Nanox will deploy the full suite of population health AI algorithms to support the needs of Covera's customers. And we will deploy the population health NanopSci algorithms and for the first time commercially installed Health aid clinicians in detecting fatty liver associated metabolic dysfunction associated steatory liver diseases following FDA clearance last February. The second agreement is a collaboration with New York based Dandelion Health, a healthcare data platform that focuses on AI analytics, offering healthcare providers accessibility to data with AI insights and aims to bring products to market faster, providing a well for multimodal clinical data for healthcare pioneers. Speaker 200:13:43Clinical AI precision medicine offer the potential for earlier diagnosis, personalized screening and prevention strategies in more effective therapy. Dandelion Health Partners with leading health systems to provide safe, ethical access to build identified clinical data of unparalleled depth, quality and diversity. Moving to developments in existing partnerships. As part of our cooperation with CorWell, it was reported by Doctor. Langhold, a cardiologist specialist who participated in a Society of Cardiac City Webinar that by using Nautilus AI Cardio XB solution, CoreWell Health significantly increased their ability to detect coronary calcification, identified nearly 4,000 new patients in 2023 compared to just 268 patients having CAC reported in the previous 2 years. Speaker 200:14:54This data demonstrate the effectiveness of the technology, but the great impact is the seamless integration into hospital electronic medical record systems, streamlining the process of incorporating these findings into patient record for improved care and management. On the regulatory front, Nanook's AI recently submitted to the FDA a new version of the cardiac AI solution Health CCNG, which introduces algorithm improvement aimed at enhancing accuracy and yield. It will also include new features that will improve coronary artery category detection accuracy. We have also been busy integrating our acquisitions of the previous 3 years deploying these assets to leverage our core platforms and technologies. One example is 2nd Opinion, which we acquired through our USA Rudd subsidiary. Speaker 200:15:562nd Opinion is an online medical platform providing second opinions in a wide variety of medical fields. This service is provided through the U. S. ARAG platform and has been available to patients since 2012. Nanox AI functionality is being embedded in second opinions to allow private patients to use artificial intelligence to their second opinion CTA report aiming to enhance the early detection of chronic conditions on chest and abdominal CT scans with a short process of registration to the Second Opinion website. Speaker 200:16:34The Second Opinion service will provide access to the Nanox population health AI solutions that have already received FDA 510 clearance. We expect the enhanced second opinions platform to be launched in a matter of weeks. Earlier this month, we announced that USA ROD has once again earned the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval for ambulatory healthcare accreditation. The Joint Commission is a leading accredited organization in the United States that certifies more than 22,000 healthcare organization and programs based on the highest standard of patient safety and quality of care. Moving on to the production and OEM initiatives, as you know, we have entered into multiple supply agreements with prominent original equipment manufacturers around the world to ensure an adequate supply of high quality components as we scale our manufacturing of the Nanox R and I will share an update on some of these. Speaker 200:17:49Our agreement with USA based Bharat to produce tubes in proceeding according to plan. Tube's design and development continues with the 1st prototype and our system integration testing scheduled for this summer. In addition to tube development and manufacturing, we continue to explore additional opportunities together. Additionally, we continue to progress with other tube suppliers. We have produced and performed positive functional testing on our first wafers and chips developed in conjunction with Switzerland based system. Speaker 200:18:25We will build queues with system chips in them for testing and validation in the coming weeks. We are transitioning our efforts to our process refinement, end of the line testing and planning for initial production wafer fabrication second half of this year. Following up on our collaboration with the U. S. Government agency, after their acquisition of our chips and tubes for evaluation, we have received a purchase order to collaborate on a novel tube development programs potentially for non invasive screening applications. Speaker 200:19:03The initial phase of the design and simulation is underway with component testing set to commence later this year. Our previously announced collaboration with a leading global medical technology company is also continuous planned. We are still in the relatively early stages here, but I can share that they are now in the process of performing design and simulation for the purposes of finalizing a proposal which would enable them to produce tubes for us. As part of their design and production simulation, they did purchase and test our chips, which allowed the Nanox team to meet them and their design team and their production facility in Europe. We will share updates as this collaboration moves toward a formal production agreement. Speaker 200:19:57We have identified our first few clients to take delivery of our demonstration kits. As described, the Nanox demonstration kit inclusive of Nanox chip, cold casted tube, power supply and the necessary software to operate the system has been developed to expose potential partners to our technology and capabilities in a simplified manner. Now I'd like to provide an update on the clinical aspect. Recognizing the fundamental clinic value of Nanox Arc System to our future success, we devote substantial effort to conducting clinical trials and create clinical evidence for broader intended use. Today, we have 3 clinical trials sites: Shamir Hospital in Israel, Belen Son Hospital and the Ghana Hospital, UGMC, and we are currently working to extend to a 4th facility, a prominent medical institution in Israel. Speaker 200:21:03In Ghana, the multicenter trial site is currently well positioned to start soon. The trial has received local IRB approval and currently under the review of the Ghana FDA, the NanoStar system that will be used in the trial is now actively scanning patients. I would like also to share some real world feedback on the value of Nanonets technology. In a recent review with our clinical collaboration at Shamir Hospital and Beli Insta Hospital in Israel, we have observed the significant impact our Nanox Arc System can have on the daily routines of radiologists and referring clinicians. The Nanox Art System added valuable information to regular x-ray in almost all reviewed studies showing excellent results for lung nodule detection, visualization of fractures that are hard to see on a standard trajectory and accurate localization of fractures. Speaker 200:22:09We look forward to sharing these results with the clinical and scientific community at upcoming medical conferences. Speaking of Bellingstone Hospital, the CHEST trial being run there is well underway. We have already scanned more than a dozen CHEST patients and initial results are promising. As I just mentioned, we hope to be able to share data from this study in some upcoming medical industry conferences. In addition, Bailin Sun has been formally integrated into the multicenter trial as the first site and the trial is now actively recruiting with additional referring departments are being added to the trial, mainly orthopedics and internal words. Speaker 200:22:59I would like to take a moment to share that we have fortified our group of advisors and key opinion leaders with the addition of Doctor. Greg Kishke. Doctor. Kishke is a cardiothorabic radiologist with a PhD in biochemistry. Doctor. Speaker 200:23:20Kishkan embarked on a career at the University of Washington in the Cardiothorotic Imaging Division. During his 12 years tenure at UW, he was awarded a grant from GE to study the clinical application of chest thromosynthesis. Doctor. Kishke's clinical expertise included imaging diseases of the chest, heart and blood vessels with specialized training in cardiac MRI and cardiac CT. His research on digital test sonosynthesis explore the unique advantages of these hybrid imaging methods. Speaker 200:23:59We are excited to welcome Doctor. Kishke to the Nanox family and look forward to a productive collaboration. Turning to our regulatory efforts. We recently received an ISO 13485 certificate for the quality management system of the division from BSI. We completed this important step during the quarter as we continue to work with our notified buddy to secure CMR designation. Speaker 200:24:32I believe the diverse area of development across multiple geographies and business segments I was able to share today underscore our commitment to making our innovative medical imaging technology accessible to healthcare providers and patients worldwide. In summary, the Q1 of 2024 has been a period of significant growth and progress for Nanox. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to sharing more updates in the coming months. I will now turn the call over to Ram Dennel, Chief Financial Officer. Speaker 300:25:10Thank you, Ehri. We reported a government loss for the Q1 of 2024 of $12,200,000 which I'll refer to as the reported period, compared with a net loss of $11,800,000 in the Q1 of 2023, which I'll refer to as the comparable period. The increase was largely due to a one time income that was recorded in the comparable period due to a decrease in the company's earn out liabilities in the amount of $4,700,000 and a decrease in the gross profit in the amount of $500,000 which was offset by a decrease of $1,100,000 in the research and development expenses, a decrease of 0.4 $1,000,000 in the sales and marketing expenses, dollars 2,800,000 in the general and administrative expenses, an increase of $400,000 in the company's financial income. Revenue for the reported period was $2,600,000 and gross loss was $2,000,000 on a GAAP basis compared to $2,400,000 on a and a gross loss of $1,450,000 on Speaker 400:26:21a GAAP basis Speaker 300:26:22for the comparable period. Non GAAP gross profit for the reported period was $600,000 as compared to $1,000,000 in the comparable period, which represents a gross profit margin of approximately 22% on a non GAAP basis for the reported period as compared to 43% on a non GAAP basis in the comparable period. Revenue from the teleradiology services for both the reported period and comparable period was $2,400,000 with a gross profit of $300,000 on a GAAP basis in the reported period as compared to a gross profit of $500,000 on a GAAP basis in the comparable period, which represents a gross profit margin of approximately 14 percent on a GAAP basis for the reported period as compared to 21% on a GAAP basis in the comparable period. Non GAAP gross profit of the company's Cellular Virology and Services for the reported period was $900,000 as compared to 1.1 $1,000,000 in the comparable period, which represents a gross profit margin of approximately 37% on a non GAAP basis for the reported period as compared to 44% on a non GAAP basis in the comparable period. The decrease in the gross profit margins on a GAAP and non GAAP basis is mainly due to an increase in the cost of the company's radiologists due to the increase in the read rates during the overnight and weekend shift. Speaker 300:28:00During the reported period, the company generated revenue through the sales of its AI solutions in the amount of $97,000 as compared to revenue of $49,000 in the comparable period. As noted previously, during the Q1 of 2024, Nanox AI licensed its Health CCS cardiac solution to Intermountain for an annual fee of 8,500 dollars during the 1st year of the engagement and an annual fee of $75,000 of the 1st anniversary of the engagement and after. During the Q2 of 2024, Nanox AI entered into a 3 year contract to license its 3 advanced AI solutions, cardiac, bones and liver for an annual base fee of $50,000 During the reported period, the company generated revenue through the sales and deployment of its imaging systems, which amounted to 46 $1,000 with a gross loss of $387,000 on a GAAP and non GAAP basis. Those revenues stems from the sales and deployment of the Nanox R systems in the U. S. Speaker 300:29:12And the sales of our 2 d systems in Africa. Research and development expenses for the reported period were $5,200,000 as compared to $6,300,000 in the comparable period. The decrease of $1,100,000 was mainly due to a research grant of $900,000 that was received in connection with the NHSX project, decrease of $200,000 in salaries and wages, decrease of $200,000 in share based compensation, which was offset by an increase of $400,000 in the expenses related to our research and development and regulatory activities. Sales and marketing expenses for the reported period were $800,000 as compared to $1,200,000 in the comparable period. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in expenses related to our sales and marketing activity. Speaker 300:30:10General and administrative expenses for the reported period were $5,000,000 as compared to $7,800,000 in the comparable period. The decrease of $2,800,000 was mainly due to a decrease in our legal expenses in the amount of $2,200,000 largely as a result of the finalization of the SEC investigation and the settlement of the transaction and a decrease in the cost of directors and officers of the basic insurance premium in the amount of $400,000 Turning to our balance sheet. As of March 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents, restricted deposits and marketable securities of approximately $73,300,000 and add a $3,300,000 loan from a bank. We ended the Q1 of 2024 with a property and equipment net of $42,700,000 As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately 57,800,000 shares outstanding. With that, I will hand the call back over to Erez. Speaker 200:31:19I want to thank you all once again for joining us on our call today and your continued support of Nanook. As stated, the Q1 of 2024 was one of the strong commercial progress. This progress was not confined solely to the deployment of the Nanox Art system. We now have several Connect systems deployed and some are generating revenues. Regarding Nanook's AI, we are proceeding with a pipeline of current and new product applications upgrades, continue to generate revenues and gain adoption from healthcare providers worldwide. Speaker 200:31:58As always, we welcome your comments and are always available to meet with investors. Thanks again for your time today. That concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, please open the call for questions. Operator00:32:14Thank And our first question coming from the line of Ross Osborne with Cantor Fitzgerald. Your line is open. Speaker 500:32:42Hi, guys. Thanks for taking our questions. So starting off, you mentioned 20 systems in the U. S. And some stage of commercialization. Speaker 500:32:51How many of those were placed and being used during the quarter? Speaker 300:32:56How many? Speaker 500:32:59Yes. Of the 20, I believe you said some had been imported, but not necessarily active. So just trying to update our model properly for the Q1 in terms of those 20 systems that were actually being used during the quarter? Speaker 300:33:34Yes. Ross, as to your questions, as of date, there are approximately 20 units. But as of March 31, we had already 13 of those 20 already installed. So I hope that answers your question. Speaker 500:33:53Yes, that's very helpful. And then regarding utilization? Speaker 400:33:59Maybe additional point. Basically, this is making progress on almost daily or weekly basis. We already mentioned that we have dozens in the sales pipeline. And when I mean dozens, it's not 1 or 2 or 3 dozens by far more. And another point that could be mentioned that we are in fact installing today, at one of the national radiology providers, the first system. Speaker 400:34:35So this is basically going forward on a reamer on a weekly basis being updated. Speaker 500:34:46Great. Glad to hear that and very helpful as well. And then maybe just switching to the utilization levels. During the Q4 call, you were saying that you're seeing initial scans of about 7 per day. Would you say that was consistent for the duration of the Q1? Speaker 500:35:03And have you seen that uptick any? Speaker 400:35:06Give and take, yes. Speaker 300:35:08Yes, but don't forget, it's too early to call. We're still in the midst of the soft launch. So we'll do all the conclusions once we conclude this phase of the the conclusions once we conclude this phase of the deployment. Speaker 500:35:21Okay. And Speaker 400:35:22the more one other indication that I'm referring to call is that the more clinical protocols that we are adding, we see more scans per day. For example, the spine that we had it and the fact that we can do it online without the necessity to go to a whole site and the fact that we have the initial reimbursement, each one of these components, the clinical intended use, even sometimes the incidental findings that we have that we talked about and we'll talk further, these are each one of them is adding to the number of scans more and more. Speaker 300:36:18In essence, you can see that the chain of reactions that starts from the clinical data that we accumulate and then extend the commercial use of the machine. Speaker 500:36:32Got it. That makes perfect sense. Thanks for taking our questions and congrats on the progress. Operator00:36:39Thank you. And our next question coming from the line of Jeff Cohen with Ladenburg Thalmann. Your line is open. Speaker 600:36:53Good morning, Eric. Dan here with you. Speaker 300:36:57Hi. Good morning, Jeff. Speaker 600:37:00So, just a few questions on our end. I guess, firstly, you talked about another 2 program. Could you elaborate a little further as far as your comment about it being non invasive? Is it similar to your current platform or what may be the difference? Speaker 400:37:21I'm not sure I got the question. Speaker 300:37:25Are you referring about the tube? Speaker 400:37:27Yes. It's about the tube. So basically, what we have indicated that we will have 3 suppliers for the tubes right now and we may cooperate on other players in the future. Speaker 200:37:46The first one is, of course, what we do in the Speaker 400:37:48Emirates, Korea. We spoke about the Italian tubes. We spoke about the future and intense and very broad cooperation that we have with Varex that we have already the final design. This will actually be a very broad technology breakthroughs that will come in the future. And we always spoke about our OEM business. Speaker 400:38:20We spoke about the English National Laboratory that we spoke about and we spoke about another player is in the medical imaging industries that might and have currently interest in our cubes. So all of them basically are expanding our tube availability and tube installation in our systems. Speaker 600:38:49Got it. Okay. And actually, could you talk about the 2nd opinion service and where or when you may launch that and would that be cash only as in not reimbursed by payers and any specific data on that front would be helpful? Speaker 400:39:10So, in fact, it's being used right now. We are expanding these services to be available in other states. This is initially based on the technology and the platform that we have, first of all, integrated with the acquisition of USA RAS at the marketplace and we value that, that we did. And we build upon it the availability of other players. So right now, it's operating and we are planning to expand. Speaker 400:39:44It's generating revenues and it's part of what the U. S. Around offering Speaker 200:39:53service offering currently right now. Speaker 600:39:57Got it. Okay. And then lastly Speaker 400:40:00It does not depend on the reimbursement. Speaker 300:40:03Yes. And it's paid in cash. Speaker 400:40:06And we are adding the AI capabilities to these services as well. Speaker 600:40:15Okay, got it. And then lastly for us, we've been doing some work on medical analytics regarding spine, skeletal, orthopedics. So could you talk about your platform versus CT straight up and the ability to transfer files directly into analytics software. Speaker 200:40:41I'm not sure I got the question. Speaker 600:40:46For a company that has an input of CTs versus Nanox Imaging, Could one be substituted for the other? And could you compare and contrast perhaps the capabilities amongst the skeletal system? Speaker 400:41:04Well, first of all, this is an area that we are going to elaborate more and more in the foreseeable coming months because based on the various clinical trials that we do and based on the first installations that we have, we gather a lot of clinical data. Based on this, as originally thought and planned, what we would like to do is to be as close as the value that the CP is providing. But more and more intended use or clinical FQA guidance that we bring we'll be able to add value to the users. What we see right now is a lot and lot of great indications that our offering can basically we are in many ways changing the standard of care is something that we are adding value by far more than the X-ray, the ring layer X-ray is providing, but very close to CT. And we can talk about examples, probably we'll talk about it later. Speaker 400:42:31But the answer is definitely trying to do as much as we can with our equipment that will enable to replace a lot of the CP Speaker 200:42:48inventories as we go forward. Speaker 600:42:53Got it. Super helpful. Thanks for taking our questions. Speaker 400:42:57Thank you. Thank you, Jim. Operator00:43:03Thank you. And that is all the time we have for questions today. I will now hand the conference back to Mr. Erez Milken for any closing remarks. Speaker 400:43:14So thank you all for Speaker 200:43:17making the time to listen to the progress that we Speaker 400:43:21have made. As you all know, we are putting a lot of efforts in 3 areas: commercial, which we make a lot of progress and we'll continue to update as we move forward. One of the amazing findings or the progress that we made is something that we put a lot of efforts Speaker 200:43:46and dedication that this is the clinical evidence. This is coming from the clinical trials as well as the initial indications for the deployed systems. And last but not Speaker 400:44:00least, I would say, technology breakthrough that we are adding to the product roadmap to the future, a Speaker 200:44:07lot of the lessons learned from the process. Speaker 400:44:12We are, of course, taking all the necessary stuff in order to ensure that the regulatory will be the same and to ensure that our promise that software, namely AI and hardware will be the basis of our conceptual offering from the end to end solution. I would say that every week we are making progress. Even today, we received a few new orders and an indication of the time that we're going to install the first system in Mexico as indicated. We received another purchase order from Philippines. So we are expanding on a global basis and this will be something that will be shared as we move forward more and more. Speaker 400:45:02Thank you all and have a great day. Operator00:45:08This concludes today's conference.

There are 7 speakers on the call. Operator00:00:00Good day and thank you for standing by. Welcome to Nanox First Quarter 20 24 Earnings Conference Call. A question and answer session. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the call over to Mike Cavanagh of Investor Relations. Operator00:00:27Please go ahead. Speaker 100:00:30Good morning and thank you for joining us today. Earlier today, Nanox Imaging Limited released financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The release is currently available on the Investors section of the company's website. Erez Meltzer, Chief Executive Officer and Ron Daniel, Chief Financial Officer, will host this morning's call. Before we get started, I would like to share some information with participants. Speaker 100:00:59First, if you're an institutional investor and would like to schedule a meeting with management or join an upcoming demonstration of the Nanox Arc System, please contact me at mike.cavanaghwestwick.com and we will work to schedule the requested meeting. 2nd, I would like to remind everyone that management will be making statements during this call that include forward looking statements regarding the company's financial results, research and development, manufacturing and commercialization activities, regulatory process operations and other matters. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are based on management's current expectations as of today and may not be updated in the future. Therefore, these statements should not be relied upon as representing the company's views as of any subsequent date. Factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those described in the company's files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Speaker 100:02:04We will also refer to certain non GAAP financial measures to provide additional information to investors. A reconciliation of the non GAAP to GAAP measures is provided with our press release, with the primary differences being non GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares, non GAAP cost of revenue, non GAAP gross profit, non GAAP gross profit margin, non GAAP research and development expenses, non GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non GAAP general and administrative expenses and non GAAP gross loss per share. With that, I'd now like to turn the call over to Erez Meltzer. Speaker 200:02:47Thank you for joining us today. And as always, we appreciate your continuing support of Nanox and our mission as we strive for global health equity via innovation, particularly in medical technology and AI, which we believe is key and can directly impact patient outcomes. We aim to offer a comprehensive solution that connects medical imaging solutions from scan to diagnosis. During this call, we will provide updates on our strategic partnerships, product launches and market expansions. We will also discuss our operational achievements. Speaker 200:03:30Our CFO, Rand Daniel, will present the financial highlights and we will conclude with a Q and A session. We look forward to sharing our progress with you and answering questions you may have. Let's get started. We have kicked off 2024 with a positive momentum, achieving milestones in our U. S. Speaker 200:03:52Commercialization work, strategic partnership, product launches and market expansion outside the U. S. In the Q1 of 2024, we have continued to make strides in our operational performance. Our key operational metrics reflect our commitment to excellence and our relentless pursuit of our mission to make medical imaging more accessible globally through innovative medical imaging technology. In the U. Speaker 200:04:23S, we are continuing with our installation plan. As of today, we have about 20 systems in the U. S. Of which some have been installed and several more are in different stages of shipment and deployment. We have manufactured dozens of systems today and we are confident that we can meet the accelerating demand for non Arc systems that we are seeing in the U. Speaker 200:04:48S. Market. Last month, we hosted an in person live demonstration of the NanoxRx system on a patient as part of our investor event in Dynamic Medical Imaging in New Jersey. Investors witnessed the entire patient scanning workflow with Nanox Arc and observed the speed and precision of the generated images as well as for its clinical utility. Additionally, we presented samples from the undergoing CHEST clinical trial in Belysan Hospital in Israel and outline the path to expanded indications in the U. Speaker 200:05:31S. Outside MSK. As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, we are staying ahead of the curve by leveraging our cutting edge technology and strategic partnerships. For current installations, I can share that we recently received initial indication for reimbursement for Nanox Heart, a scan from a managed care insurance company. On a previous investor call, we discussed the building out of the support and service infrastructure Nanook's ARC users will need as deployment accelerates, specifically the Georgia site at 626 Imaging Academy, which serves as a technical and training center for technicians seeking to be trained on the use of the system. Speaker 200:06:23Anticipating the need for another vendor beyond 6 to 6 to provide installation services as well as routine servicing of deployed Nanox Art system, we have entered into a 3rd party agreement with SwissRay. Located in Bridgewater, New Jersey, Swissray is one of the forefront experts in the area of digital or geography from sales for installation, setup, training and service. The agreement covers system installations, user support, troubleshooting and regular system maintenance. As we continue to expand our footprint on the ground in the U. S, we will constantly evaluate the need for commercial personnel to drive our growth, while also closely monitoring the need for service infrastructure to effectively support our advancements. Speaker 200:07:19Moreover, we have expanded the capabilities of our Nanox Arc System with the addition of specialized MSK protocols, including protocols for cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. In addition to spine imaging, we have also fine tuned our MSP protocols to include more detailed patient positioning options and further enhancements, which will aid healthcare providers in obtaining clearer and more accurate diagnostic images, facilitating better patient outcomes. These new protocols are designed to offer more precise and detailed imaging options, catering specifically to the needs of our customers based on feedback we have received from them. Thanks to our advanced cloud based architecture, these upgrades have been implemented remotely across all systems without the need of physical modification or on-site visits. This approach significantly reduces service work hours and eliminates the need for travel, bringing efficiency and convenience to healthcare facilities. Speaker 200:08:38All upgrades have been meticulously performed in alignment with applicable regulatory requirements, ensuring our system continue to operate within their intended use and safety standards. We are confident that these upgrades will empower healthcare professionals further, elevate diagnosis capabilities and enhance patient care in all facilities equipped with an on of the art system. Turning to our deployment efforts outside of the U. S. Market. Speaker 200:09:10As previously mentioned, we continue to advance our commercial footprint in Africa, Latin America and Asia. We have had a unit installed at the University of Ghana Medical Center, UGMC, and which has received local regulatory clearance. We have had a footprint in Africa for some time and will continue to press our commercialization there. Furthermore, we are in the process of initiating a clinical trial at UGMC as part of our multi site clinical trial. Latin America, we continue to invest our commercial activities with respect to the NanoxR and Nanox Connect in Mexico, Peru and Chile. Speaker 200:09:56At the high level, we will expand our geographic footprint as we achieve local regulatory authorizations. We also have Nanox Connect operating systems deployed in various countries including Ghana, Morocco, Cameroon and Israel. Some of these systems have been paid for upfront, which we refer to as CapEx model. Others are operating under the MSAS model where we charge per scan and some are currently being used for demonstration purposes. In our quest to promote healthcare globally, we recently announced our entry in the South Korea market through our collaboration with Ahealz, a healthcare distribution company and SCL Science, AhealsV affiliated company and subsidiary of Global Healthcare Group, SCL, the All Clinic Laboratories. Speaker 200:10:59A HealthV plans to assist Nanox in efforts to secure local authorization and licenses to enable the importation, marketing and sales of the Nanox Arc in South Korea and will also include SEL Science integrating Nanox AI solution. Additionally, Nanox Marketplace, a teradiology services platform that provides remote access to radiology and cardiology experts will potentially be integrated with SGL Sciences, teleradiology centers in South Korea and other overseas markets. This expansion is a testament to our ongoing efforts and our partners' commitment to bringing comprehensive medical imaging solutions to South Korea. We hope the South Korea collaboration to be a stepping stone into the broader Southeast Asia market for the entire Nanox product suite. Turning to our important AI business segment, Nanox AI recently signed 2 agreements. Speaker 200:12:07Covera Health, a leading healthcare technology company, has signed a multiyear contract with Nanox AI to provide its 3 advanced AI solutions: cardiac, bone and liver. Covera Health delivers clinically validated solutions to population health that improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs and enhance value based care by supporting radiologists with technology capabilities that emphasizes improvement of quality and performance. Under these new agreements, Nanox will deploy the full suite of population health AI algorithms to support the needs of Covera's customers. And we will deploy the population health NanopSci algorithms and for the first time commercially installed Health aid clinicians in detecting fatty liver associated metabolic dysfunction associated steatory liver diseases following FDA clearance last February. The second agreement is a collaboration with New York based Dandelion Health, a healthcare data platform that focuses on AI analytics, offering healthcare providers accessibility to data with AI insights and aims to bring products to market faster, providing a well for multimodal clinical data for healthcare pioneers. Speaker 200:13:43Clinical AI precision medicine offer the potential for earlier diagnosis, personalized screening and prevention strategies in more effective therapy. Dandelion Health Partners with leading health systems to provide safe, ethical access to build identified clinical data of unparalleled depth, quality and diversity. Moving to developments in existing partnerships. As part of our cooperation with CorWell, it was reported by Doctor. Langhold, a cardiologist specialist who participated in a Society of Cardiac City Webinar that by using Nautilus AI Cardio XB solution, CoreWell Health significantly increased their ability to detect coronary calcification, identified nearly 4,000 new patients in 2023 compared to just 268 patients having CAC reported in the previous 2 years. Speaker 200:14:54This data demonstrate the effectiveness of the technology, but the great impact is the seamless integration into hospital electronic medical record systems, streamlining the process of incorporating these findings into patient record for improved care and management. On the regulatory front, Nanook's AI recently submitted to the FDA a new version of the cardiac AI solution Health CCNG, which introduces algorithm improvement aimed at enhancing accuracy and yield. It will also include new features that will improve coronary artery category detection accuracy. We have also been busy integrating our acquisitions of the previous 3 years deploying these assets to leverage our core platforms and technologies. One example is 2nd Opinion, which we acquired through our USA Rudd subsidiary. Speaker 200:15:562nd Opinion is an online medical platform providing second opinions in a wide variety of medical fields. This service is provided through the U. S. ARAG platform and has been available to patients since 2012. Nanox AI functionality is being embedded in second opinions to allow private patients to use artificial intelligence to their second opinion CTA report aiming to enhance the early detection of chronic conditions on chest and abdominal CT scans with a short process of registration to the Second Opinion website. Speaker 200:16:34The Second Opinion service will provide access to the Nanox population health AI solutions that have already received FDA 510 clearance. We expect the enhanced second opinions platform to be launched in a matter of weeks. Earlier this month, we announced that USA ROD has once again earned the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval for ambulatory healthcare accreditation. The Joint Commission is a leading accredited organization in the United States that certifies more than 22,000 healthcare organization and programs based on the highest standard of patient safety and quality of care. Moving on to the production and OEM initiatives, as you know, we have entered into multiple supply agreements with prominent original equipment manufacturers around the world to ensure an adequate supply of high quality components as we scale our manufacturing of the Nanox R and I will share an update on some of these. Speaker 200:17:49Our agreement with USA based Bharat to produce tubes in proceeding according to plan. Tube's design and development continues with the 1st prototype and our system integration testing scheduled for this summer. In addition to tube development and manufacturing, we continue to explore additional opportunities together. Additionally, we continue to progress with other tube suppliers. We have produced and performed positive functional testing on our first wafers and chips developed in conjunction with Switzerland based system. Speaker 200:18:25We will build queues with system chips in them for testing and validation in the coming weeks. We are transitioning our efforts to our process refinement, end of the line testing and planning for initial production wafer fabrication second half of this year. Following up on our collaboration with the U. S. Government agency, after their acquisition of our chips and tubes for evaluation, we have received a purchase order to collaborate on a novel tube development programs potentially for non invasive screening applications. Speaker 200:19:03The initial phase of the design and simulation is underway with component testing set to commence later this year. Our previously announced collaboration with a leading global medical technology company is also continuous planned. We are still in the relatively early stages here, but I can share that they are now in the process of performing design and simulation for the purposes of finalizing a proposal which would enable them to produce tubes for us. As part of their design and production simulation, they did purchase and test our chips, which allowed the Nanox team to meet them and their design team and their production facility in Europe. We will share updates as this collaboration moves toward a formal production agreement. Speaker 200:19:57We have identified our first few clients to take delivery of our demonstration kits. As described, the Nanox demonstration kit inclusive of Nanox chip, cold casted tube, power supply and the necessary software to operate the system has been developed to expose potential partners to our technology and capabilities in a simplified manner. Now I'd like to provide an update on the clinical aspect. Recognizing the fundamental clinic value of Nanox Arc System to our future success, we devote substantial effort to conducting clinical trials and create clinical evidence for broader intended use. Today, we have 3 clinical trials sites: Shamir Hospital in Israel, Belen Son Hospital and the Ghana Hospital, UGMC, and we are currently working to extend to a 4th facility, a prominent medical institution in Israel. Speaker 200:21:03In Ghana, the multicenter trial site is currently well positioned to start soon. The trial has received local IRB approval and currently under the review of the Ghana FDA, the NanoStar system that will be used in the trial is now actively scanning patients. I would like also to share some real world feedback on the value of Nanonets technology. In a recent review with our clinical collaboration at Shamir Hospital and Beli Insta Hospital in Israel, we have observed the significant impact our Nanox Arc System can have on the daily routines of radiologists and referring clinicians. The Nanox Art System added valuable information to regular x-ray in almost all reviewed studies showing excellent results for lung nodule detection, visualization of fractures that are hard to see on a standard trajectory and accurate localization of fractures. Speaker 200:22:09We look forward to sharing these results with the clinical and scientific community at upcoming medical conferences. Speaking of Bellingstone Hospital, the CHEST trial being run there is well underway. We have already scanned more than a dozen CHEST patients and initial results are promising. As I just mentioned, we hope to be able to share data from this study in some upcoming medical industry conferences. In addition, Bailin Sun has been formally integrated into the multicenter trial as the first site and the trial is now actively recruiting with additional referring departments are being added to the trial, mainly orthopedics and internal words. Speaker 200:22:59I would like to take a moment to share that we have fortified our group of advisors and key opinion leaders with the addition of Doctor. Greg Kishke. Doctor. Kishke is a cardiothorabic radiologist with a PhD in biochemistry. Doctor. Speaker 200:23:20Kishkan embarked on a career at the University of Washington in the Cardiothorotic Imaging Division. During his 12 years tenure at UW, he was awarded a grant from GE to study the clinical application of chest thromosynthesis. Doctor. Kishke's clinical expertise included imaging diseases of the chest, heart and blood vessels with specialized training in cardiac MRI and cardiac CT. His research on digital test sonosynthesis explore the unique advantages of these hybrid imaging methods. Speaker 200:23:59We are excited to welcome Doctor. Kishke to the Nanox family and look forward to a productive collaboration. Turning to our regulatory efforts. We recently received an ISO 13485 certificate for the quality management system of the division from BSI. We completed this important step during the quarter as we continue to work with our notified buddy to secure CMR designation. Speaker 200:24:32I believe the diverse area of development across multiple geographies and business segments I was able to share today underscore our commitment to making our innovative medical imaging technology accessible to healthcare providers and patients worldwide. In summary, the Q1 of 2024 has been a period of significant growth and progress for Nanox. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to sharing more updates in the coming months. I will now turn the call over to Ram Dennel, Chief Financial Officer. Speaker 300:25:10Thank you, Ehri. We reported a government loss for the Q1 of 2024 of $12,200,000 which I'll refer to as the reported period, compared with a net loss of $11,800,000 in the Q1 of 2023, which I'll refer to as the comparable period. The increase was largely due to a one time income that was recorded in the comparable period due to a decrease in the company's earn out liabilities in the amount of $4,700,000 and a decrease in the gross profit in the amount of $500,000 which was offset by a decrease of $1,100,000 in the research and development expenses, a decrease of 0.4 $1,000,000 in the sales and marketing expenses, dollars 2,800,000 in the general and administrative expenses, an increase of $400,000 in the company's financial income. Revenue for the reported period was $2,600,000 and gross loss was $2,000,000 on a GAAP basis compared to $2,400,000 on a and a gross loss of $1,450,000 on Speaker 400:26:21a GAAP basis Speaker 300:26:22for the comparable period. Non GAAP gross profit for the reported period was $600,000 as compared to $1,000,000 in the comparable period, which represents a gross profit margin of approximately 22% on a non GAAP basis for the reported period as compared to 43% on a non GAAP basis in the comparable period. Revenue from the teleradiology services for both the reported period and comparable period was $2,400,000 with a gross profit of $300,000 on a GAAP basis in the reported period as compared to a gross profit of $500,000 on a GAAP basis in the comparable period, which represents a gross profit margin of approximately 14 percent on a GAAP basis for the reported period as compared to 21% on a GAAP basis in the comparable period. Non GAAP gross profit of the company's Cellular Virology and Services for the reported period was $900,000 as compared to 1.1 $1,000,000 in the comparable period, which represents a gross profit margin of approximately 37% on a non GAAP basis for the reported period as compared to 44% on a non GAAP basis in the comparable period. The decrease in the gross profit margins on a GAAP and non GAAP basis is mainly due to an increase in the cost of the company's radiologists due to the increase in the read rates during the overnight and weekend shift. Speaker 300:28:00During the reported period, the company generated revenue through the sales of its AI solutions in the amount of $97,000 as compared to revenue of $49,000 in the comparable period. As noted previously, during the Q1 of 2024, Nanox AI licensed its Health CCS cardiac solution to Intermountain for an annual fee of 8,500 dollars during the 1st year of the engagement and an annual fee of $75,000 of the 1st anniversary of the engagement and after. During the Q2 of 2024, Nanox AI entered into a 3 year contract to license its 3 advanced AI solutions, cardiac, bones and liver for an annual base fee of $50,000 During the reported period, the company generated revenue through the sales and deployment of its imaging systems, which amounted to 46 $1,000 with a gross loss of $387,000 on a GAAP and non GAAP basis. Those revenues stems from the sales and deployment of the Nanox R systems in the U. S. Speaker 300:29:12And the sales of our 2 d systems in Africa. Research and development expenses for the reported period were $5,200,000 as compared to $6,300,000 in the comparable period. The decrease of $1,100,000 was mainly due to a research grant of $900,000 that was received in connection with the NHSX project, decrease of $200,000 in salaries and wages, decrease of $200,000 in share based compensation, which was offset by an increase of $400,000 in the expenses related to our research and development and regulatory activities. Sales and marketing expenses for the reported period were $800,000 as compared to $1,200,000 in the comparable period. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in expenses related to our sales and marketing activity. Speaker 300:30:10General and administrative expenses for the reported period were $5,000,000 as compared to $7,800,000 in the comparable period. The decrease of $2,800,000 was mainly due to a decrease in our legal expenses in the amount of $2,200,000 largely as a result of the finalization of the SEC investigation and the settlement of the transaction and a decrease in the cost of directors and officers of the basic insurance premium in the amount of $400,000 Turning to our balance sheet. As of March 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents, restricted deposits and marketable securities of approximately $73,300,000 and add a $3,300,000 loan from a bank. We ended the Q1 of 2024 with a property and equipment net of $42,700,000 As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately 57,800,000 shares outstanding. With that, I will hand the call back over to Erez. Speaker 200:31:19I want to thank you all once again for joining us on our call today and your continued support of Nanook. As stated, the Q1 of 2024 was one of the strong commercial progress. This progress was not confined solely to the deployment of the Nanox Art system. We now have several Connect systems deployed and some are generating revenues. Regarding Nanook's AI, we are proceeding with a pipeline of current and new product applications upgrades, continue to generate revenues and gain adoption from healthcare providers worldwide. Speaker 200:31:58As always, we welcome your comments and are always available to meet with investors. Thanks again for your time today. That concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, please open the call for questions. Operator00:32:14Thank And our first question coming from the line of Ross Osborne with Cantor Fitzgerald. Your line is open. Speaker 500:32:42Hi, guys. Thanks for taking our questions. So starting off, you mentioned 20 systems in the U. S. And some stage of commercialization. Speaker 500:32:51How many of those were placed and being used during the quarter? Speaker 300:32:56How many? Speaker 500:32:59Yes. Of the 20, I believe you said some had been imported, but not necessarily active. So just trying to update our model properly for the Q1 in terms of those 20 systems that were actually being used during the quarter? Speaker 300:33:34Yes. Ross, as to your questions, as of date, there are approximately 20 units. But as of March 31, we had already 13 of those 20 already installed. So I hope that answers your question. Speaker 500:33:53Yes, that's very helpful. And then regarding utilization? Speaker 400:33:59Maybe additional point. Basically, this is making progress on almost daily or weekly basis. We already mentioned that we have dozens in the sales pipeline. And when I mean dozens, it's not 1 or 2 or 3 dozens by far more. And another point that could be mentioned that we are in fact installing today, at one of the national radiology providers, the first system. Speaker 400:34:35So this is basically going forward on a reamer on a weekly basis being updated. Speaker 500:34:46Great. Glad to hear that and very helpful as well. And then maybe just switching to the utilization levels. During the Q4 call, you were saying that you're seeing initial scans of about 7 per day. Would you say that was consistent for the duration of the Q1? Speaker 500:35:03And have you seen that uptick any? Speaker 400:35:06Give and take, yes. Speaker 300:35:08Yes, but don't forget, it's too early to call. We're still in the midst of the soft launch. So we'll do all the conclusions once we conclude this phase of the the conclusions once we conclude this phase of the deployment. Speaker 500:35:21Okay. And Speaker 400:35:22the more one other indication that I'm referring to call is that the more clinical protocols that we are adding, we see more scans per day. For example, the spine that we had it and the fact that we can do it online without the necessity to go to a whole site and the fact that we have the initial reimbursement, each one of these components, the clinical intended use, even sometimes the incidental findings that we have that we talked about and we'll talk further, these are each one of them is adding to the number of scans more and more. Speaker 300:36:18In essence, you can see that the chain of reactions that starts from the clinical data that we accumulate and then extend the commercial use of the machine. Speaker 500:36:32Got it. That makes perfect sense. Thanks for taking our questions and congrats on the progress. Operator00:36:39Thank you. And our next question coming from the line of Jeff Cohen with Ladenburg Thalmann. Your line is open. Speaker 600:36:53Good morning, Eric. Dan here with you. Speaker 300:36:57Hi. Good morning, Jeff. Speaker 600:37:00So, just a few questions on our end. I guess, firstly, you talked about another 2 program. Could you elaborate a little further as far as your comment about it being non invasive? Is it similar to your current platform or what may be the difference? Speaker 400:37:21I'm not sure I got the question. Speaker 300:37:25Are you referring about the tube? Speaker 400:37:27Yes. It's about the tube. So basically, what we have indicated that we will have 3 suppliers for the tubes right now and we may cooperate on other players in the future. Speaker 200:37:46The first one is, of course, what we do in the Speaker 400:37:48Emirates, Korea. We spoke about the Italian tubes. We spoke about the future and intense and very broad cooperation that we have with Varex that we have already the final design. This will actually be a very broad technology breakthroughs that will come in the future. And we always spoke about our OEM business. Speaker 400:38:20We spoke about the English National Laboratory that we spoke about and we spoke about another player is in the medical imaging industries that might and have currently interest in our cubes. So all of them basically are expanding our tube availability and tube installation in our systems. Speaker 600:38:49Got it. Okay. And actually, could you talk about the 2nd opinion service and where or when you may launch that and would that be cash only as in not reimbursed by payers and any specific data on that front would be helpful? Speaker 400:39:10So, in fact, it's being used right now. We are expanding these services to be available in other states. This is initially based on the technology and the platform that we have, first of all, integrated with the acquisition of USA RAS at the marketplace and we value that, that we did. And we build upon it the availability of other players. So right now, it's operating and we are planning to expand. Speaker 400:39:44It's generating revenues and it's part of what the U. S. Around offering Speaker 200:39:53service offering currently right now. Speaker 600:39:57Got it. Okay. And then lastly Speaker 400:40:00It does not depend on the reimbursement. Speaker 300:40:03Yes. And it's paid in cash. Speaker 400:40:06And we are adding the AI capabilities to these services as well. Speaker 600:40:15Okay, got it. And then lastly for us, we've been doing some work on medical analytics regarding spine, skeletal, orthopedics. So could you talk about your platform versus CT straight up and the ability to transfer files directly into analytics software. Speaker 200:40:41I'm not sure I got the question. Speaker 600:40:46For a company that has an input of CTs versus Nanox Imaging, Could one be substituted for the other? And could you compare and contrast perhaps the capabilities amongst the skeletal system? Speaker 400:41:04Well, first of all, this is an area that we are going to elaborate more and more in the foreseeable coming months because based on the various clinical trials that we do and based on the first installations that we have, we gather a lot of clinical data. Based on this, as originally thought and planned, what we would like to do is to be as close as the value that the CP is providing. But more and more intended use or clinical FQA guidance that we bring we'll be able to add value to the users. What we see right now is a lot and lot of great indications that our offering can basically we are in many ways changing the standard of care is something that we are adding value by far more than the X-ray, the ring layer X-ray is providing, but very close to CT. And we can talk about examples, probably we'll talk about it later. Speaker 400:42:31But the answer is definitely trying to do as much as we can with our equipment that will enable to replace a lot of the CP Speaker 200:42:48inventories as we go forward. Speaker 600:42:53Got it. Super helpful. Thanks for taking our questions. Speaker 400:42:57Thank you. Thank you, Jim. Operator00:43:03Thank you. And that is all the time we have for questions today. I will now hand the conference back to Mr. Erez Milken for any closing remarks. Speaker 400:43:14So thank you all for Speaker 200:43:17making the time to listen to the progress that we Speaker 400:43:21have made. As you all know, we are putting a lot of efforts in 3 areas: commercial, which we make a lot of progress and we'll continue to update as we move forward. One of the amazing findings or the progress that we made is something that we put a lot of efforts Speaker 200:43:46and dedication that this is the clinical evidence. This is coming from the clinical trials as well as the initial indications for the deployed systems. And last but not Speaker 400:44:00least, I would say, technology breakthrough that we are adding to the product roadmap to the future, a Speaker 200:44:07lot of the lessons learned from the process. Speaker 400:44:12We are, of course, taking all the necessary stuff in order to ensure that the regulatory will be the same and to ensure that our promise that software, namely AI and hardware will be the basis of our conceptual offering from the end to end solution. I would say that every week we are making progress. Even today, we received a few new orders and an indication of the time that we're going to install the first system in Mexico as indicated. We received another purchase order from Philippines. So we are expanding on a global basis and this will be something that will be shared as we move forward more and more. Speaker 400:45:02Thank you all and have a great day. Operator00:45:08This concludes today's conference. Thank you for your participation and you may now disconnect.Read morePowered by
