NEXSTIM PLC FINANCIAL STATEMENT RELEASE 2014

Helsinki, 26 February 2015 at 8:00 am Nexstim listed to Nasdaq First North Helsinki & Stockholm and continued Phase III multi-centre trial in the US Company Highlights, July - December 2014 * Phase III multi-centre trial in the US for stroke therapy is progressing according to plans, first milestone interim analysis from the Phase III stroke therapy trial expected in Q3 2015 * Successful listing of the company's shares to Nasdaq First North Finland and Nasdaq First North Sweden raising new equity of EUR 15.3 million * July - December 2014 revenue growth of 31.0 percent compared to second half of 2013 * First successful reimbursements for Navigated Brain Stimulation (NBS) in Germany Status of clinical development Nexstim's NBT System is in the development phase. The Company is currently building clinical evidence by conducting a clinical Phase III multi-centre trial to demonstrate the effectiveness of the therapy treatment using NBT System. The clinical trial is progressing according to plans. The next interim analysis milestones are estimated to be reached Q3 2015 and Q1 2016 and the clinical evidence is assumed to be ready by the end of 2016. Chronic neuropathic pain trial in co-operation with The Walton Centre is progressing according to plans. CEO Janne Huhtala's review I am delighted to present to you Nexstim's first financial statement release as a publicly listed company. 2014 has been a transformational year for the Company, both operationally and financially. I am pleased to report to you that the 2014 full year results show that Nexstim is firmly set on a good course and that both our product portfolio as our finances are in good health. In November 2014 we successfully listed the company's shares on Nasdaq First North Finland and Nasdaq First North Sweden, securing funds for the ongoing Phase III trial in the US for stroke therapy and for pre-commercialisation activities. In early 2014, we saw encouraging results (over 80 percent response rate in active therapy group) from the Phase II trial for the use of Nexstim's NBT® System in post-acute stroke therapy and subsequently initiated our Phase III, two year, multi-centre trial in April, in 12 different rehabilitation centres in the US. We closed 2014 with a strong cash position of EUR 11.5 million which is estimated to be sufficient to finance the company's existing clinical development trials and pre-commercialisation activities. In 2015, we will continue to build on the substantial achievements of 2014 and, although not expected due to complete before end of 2016, we expect to see the first milestone interim analysis from the Phase III stroke therapy trial in Q3 2015. Operationally, we have managed sales growth for our lead Navigated Brain Stimulation (NBS) product to strategic customers with capital equipment investment sales model. The new NBS 5 System for non-invasive pre-surgical mapping in clinical neurosurgery was launched in October and our efforts have been primarily targeting universities and teaching hospitals with strong key opinion leaders (KOL) presence. During second half of 2014 Nexstim revenue increased by 31.0 percent compared to second half of 2013 due to more successful closing of sales cases. On an annual level 2014 revenue increased by 18.1 percent compared to 2013. Furthermore, the first successful reimbursements for NBS in Germany marks an important step in the extension of our reimbursement coverage. Today, with both its NBS and NBT® Systems, based on our core e-Field mapping software, Nexstim remains a world leader in navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (nTMS). The Nexstim team and clinical centres are committed to bringing innovative and ground-breaking solutions for the many patients suffering from strokes. With our strong product portfolio, strict financial management and the continued passion and commitment of all our staff, who deserve our deepest appreciation and gratitude, we are looking towards a very promising future.
