New leadership team focused on commercial execution and advancing AI-enabled rehabilitation technologies

New peer-reviewed clinical evidence strengthens support for ReWalk’s long-term benefits and broader patient access

HUDSON, Mass. and YOKNEAM ILLIT, Israel, Nov. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lifeward Ltd. (Nasdaq: LFWD) (“Lifeward” or the “Company”), a diversified biomedical innovation company with a portfolio of commercialized neurorehabilitation products and a biomedical pipeline, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, and provided a business update.

Business Update

• Continued growth of AlterG. AlterG revenue increased 18% to $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher U.S. unit shipments, together with increased service revenue and improved average selling prices. This marks the second consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year revenue growth for AlterG.
• ReWalk commercial transition to a channel-partner model. The Company is shifting ReWalk from direct sales to partnerships with established home and durable medical equipment providers and patient care organizations that can bring the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton to patients across the United States. These partnerships build on the Company’s existing channels, including CorLife, its exclusive distributor for patients with workers’ compensation claims, and the pilot program the Company launched in August 2026 with Ottobock Care, a leading U.S. mobility technology patient care organization with more than 50 patient clinics nationwide. While the transition has affected the timing of ReWalk sales in the near term, the Company believes channel partnerships have the potential to significantly increase ReWalk revenue over the long term and is focused on expanding its partner network. Selling through partners on wholesale terms is also designed to reduce the Company’s operating expenses and may accelerate cash collection compared with direct sales.
• Broad reimbursement access supporting ReWalk adoption. ReWalk is covered by Medicare for eligible beneficiaries under an established fee schedule and by the three largest Medicare Advantage insurers, Aetna, Humana and UnitedHealthcare. Medicare Fee-for-Service and many national Medicare Advantage plans are authorizing ReWalk for clinically appropriate patients, and the Company believes this reimbursement infrastructure positions its channel partners to reach more eligible patients.
• Expansion of clinical evidence supporting ReWalk. In September and October 2026, the Company announced the publication of two peer-reviewed real-world studies of the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton. The first reported improved performance of daily activities, higher satisfaction and lower pain compared with wheelchair use. The second, a long-term study, reported sustained home use over a median of 33 months with no reported falls or exoskeleton-related fractures.
• Well positioned for artificial intelligence (“AI”)-enabled rehabilitation. As robotics and AI increasingly move into physical care, the Company believes its combination of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-cleared robotic products, established reimbursement infrastructure, commercial channels and installed base position it to bring AI-enabled rehabilitation technologies to patients. In addition to continued development of its upper-body exoskeleton with AI capabilities, Lifeward is exploring the addition of other AI-enabled capabilities into its product development pipeline.
  

“The third quarter was a transitional quarter for Lifeward, marked by continued AlterG growth as we move into the advanced stages of transitioning ReWalk to a channel-partner distribution model,” said Josh Hexter, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Lifeward. “Moving away from direct sales can create timing gaps in the near term, but we believe partnering with established providers that already reach patients nationwide is the right path to significantly expand access to ReWalk and accelerate revenue growth over the long term.”

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Revenue was $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 12%. Revenue from AlterG products and services increased 18% to $3.6 million, primarily reflecting higher U.S. unit shipments, together with increased service revenue and improved average selling prices. Revenue from the sale of ReWalk Personal exoskeletons was $1.7 million, compared to $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2025, reflecting lower U.S. sales as the Company transitions ReWalk to a channel-partner distribution model, as well as lower revenues in Europe.

Gross margin was 27.4% during the third quarter of 2026, compared to 43.7% in the third quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to adverse foreign exchange rate fluctuations, higher freight costs and tariffs and revenue sharing expense arising from the Company’s March 2026 acquisition of Oratech Pharmaceuticals Ltd. from Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Oratech Acquisition”), under which the Company agreed to make quarterly payments to Oramed based on sales of ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton products and related extended warranties. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted gross margin was 27.5% during the third quarter of 2026, compared to 43.7% in the prior-year quarter.

Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2026 were $7.5 million, compared to $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to approximately $0.5 million of clinical trial and contract research organization service costs related to the Oratech clinical trial, higher development costs related to the AlterG product improvement project and the upper-body exoskeleton technology, higher spending on trade shows and digital marketing, and restructuring expenses. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes the items listed in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation table, adjusted operating expenses were $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $5.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, with the year-over-year change primarily attributable to the Oratech clinical trial costs and product development activities.

Operating loss in the third quarter of 2026 was $6.0 million, compared to $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2025. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes the items in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation table, adjusted operating loss was $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2025.

Net loss was $5.1 million, or $1.32 per share, in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $3.2 million, or $2.37 per share, in the third quarter of 2025. The increase primarily reflects a higher operating loss partially offset by net financial income of $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2026, which includes non-cash fair value changes in warrant and derivative liabilities as well as interest expense related to the Company’s convertible notes. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes the items in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation table, adjusted net loss was $5.5 million, or $1.44 per share, in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $3.0 million, or $2.24 per share, in the third quarter of 2025.

Balance Sheet

Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $4.5 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to $2.2 million as of December 31, 2025.
