Overview
We are an innovative medical device company that is designing, developing, and commercializing robotic exoskeletons that allow individuals with mobility impairments or other medical conditions
the ability to stand and walk once again. We have developed and are continuing to commercialize our SCI Products, ReWalk Personal and ReWalk Rehabilitation devices, which are exoskeletons designed for individuals with spinal cord injuries,and
for individuals with paraplegia. The SCI Products use our patented tilt-sensor technology and an on-board computer and motion sensors to drive motorized legs that power movement.
We have also developed our ReStore device, which we began commercializing in June 2019. ReStore is a powered, lightweight soft exo-suit intended for use in the rehabilitation of
individuals with lower limb disability due to stroke. During the second quarter of 2020, we finalized and moved to implement two separate agreements to distribute additional product lines in the United States. The Company is the exclusive
distributor of the MediTouch Tutor movement biofeedback systems in the United States and will also have distribution rights for the MYOLYN MyoCycle FES cycles to U.S. rehabilitation clinics and personal sales through the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs (“VA”) hospitals and other personal sales. These Distributed Products will improve our product offering to clinics as well as patients within the VA as they both have similar clinician and patient profile.
Our principal markets are the United States and Europe. In Europe, we have a direct sales operation in Germany and the United Kingdom and work with distribution partners in
certain other major countries. We have offices in Marlborough, Massachusetts, Berlin, Germany and Yokneam, Israel, from where we operate our business.
We have in the past generated and expect to generate in the future revenues from a combination of third-party payors, self-payors (including private and government employers) and institutions.
While a broad uniform policy of coverage and reimbursement by third-party commercial payors currently does not exist in the United States for electronic exoskeleton technologies such as the ReWalk Personal, we are pursuing various paths of
reimbursement and support fundraising efforts by institutions and clinics. As of March 31, 2021, we had placed 24 ReWalk Personal 6.0 units as part of a VA policy issued in December 2015 for the evaluation, training, and procurement of ReWalk
Personal exoskeleton systems for all qualifying veterans suffering from spinal cord injury across the United States.
According to a 2017 report published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, approximately 55% of the spinal cord injury population which are at least five
years post their injury date are covered by CMS. In July 2020, a code was issued for ReWalk Personal 6.0 (effective October 1, 2020), which might later be followed by coverage policy of CMS.
Additionally, to date, several private insurers in the United States and Europe have provided reimbursement for ReWalk in certain cases. In Germany, we continue to make progress
toward achieving ReWalk coverage from the various government, private and worker’s compensation payors. In September 2017, each of German insurer BARMER GEK (“Barmer”) and national social accident insurance provider Deutsche Gesetzliche
Unfallversicherung (“DGUV”), indicated that they will provide coverage to users who meet certain inclusion and exclusion criteria. In February 2018, the head office of German statutory health insurance, or SHI, Spitzenverband (“GKV”) confirmed
their decision to list the ReWalk Personal 6.0 exoskeleton system in the German Medical Device Directory. This decision means that ReWalk will be listed among all medical devices for compensation, which SHI providers can procure for any approved
beneficiary on a case-by-case basis. During [fiscal?] year 2020, we announced several new agreements with German SHIs, includingTK and DAK Gesundheit, as well as the first German Private Health Insurer (“PHI”), which outline the process of
obtaining our devices for eligible insured patients. We are also currently working with several additional SHIs on securing a formal operating contract that will establish the process of obtaining a ReWalk Personal 6.0 device for their
beneficiaries within their system.

Evolving COVID-19 Pandemic
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in and will likely continue to result in significant disruptions to the global economy, as well as businesses and capital markets
around the world. In an effort to halt the outbreak of COVID-19, a number of countries, including the United States and many countries in Europe, have placed significant restrictions on travel, and many businesses have announced extended closures.
Although many of these countries or the locales within these countries have begun to allow reopening of certain businesses, particularly due to the distribution of vaccinations, it is unclear how long any total or partial shutdowns could last, and
whether additional shutdowns will be necessary to halt potential future outbreaks in the future.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our ability to engage with our SCI Products, ReStore and Distributed Products existing customers, conduct trials of new product candidates, deliver ordered
units or repair existing systems, and provide training of our products to new patients who have largely remained at home due to local movement restrictions and to rehabilitation centers, which have temporarily shifted priorities and responses
to pandemic-related medical equipment. As a result, our revenues for fiscal year 2020 were adversely impacted from limited market access and experiencing reduced payor attention. We believe that these adverse impacts may continue as long as
the pandemic status remains in our key markets [in the United States and Germany, especially as our ability to conduct trials of new patients with our SCI Products is limited and as capital budgets for rehabilitation devices such as the ReStore
remain reduced or on-hold in most of the clinics. Additionally, some clinics are enforcing in-clinic restrictions that effect our ability to demonstrate our devices to patients. We continue to monitor our sales pipeline on a day-to-day basis in
order to assess the quarterly effect of these limitations as some have short term effects and some affects our future pipeline development. Limitations on travel and business closures recommended by federal, state, and local governments, if
they will continue to occur as we have seen during the pandemic, could, among other things, impact our ability to enroll patients in clinical trials, recruit clinical site investigators and obtain timely approvals from local regulatory
authorities. While our sole manufacturer, Sanmina Corporation, has not shut down its facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, our manufacturing may also be impacted due to supply chain delays or adverse impacts on our production capacity as a
result of government directives or health protocols. Moreover, the current limitations on our sales activities has made it difficult to effectively forecast our future requirements for systems. For more information, see “Part II, Item 1A. Risk
Factors-The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected and may continue to materially and adversely impact our business, our operations and our financial results” and “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors-We depend on a single third party to
manufacture our products, and we rely on a limited number of third-party suppliers for certain components of our products.”
In addition, our future results of operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by delays in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms,
supply chain disruptions and operational challenges faced by our customers. The occurrence of new outbreaks of COVID-19 could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries,
resulting in an economic downturn or a global recession that could cause significant volatility or decline in the trading price of our securities, affect our ability to execute strategic business activities, affect demand for our products and
likely impact our operating results. These may further limit or restrict our ability to access capital on favorable terms, or at all, lead to consolidation that negatively impacts our business, weaken demand, increase competition, cause us to
reduce our capital spend further, or otherwise disrupt our business.
During the pandemic, we have implemented remote working procedures in the United States, Germany, and Israel and are establishing in-office measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 according to
local regulations. We have also taken several cost reduction efforts that lasted throughout 2020 as needed. The Company will continue to monitor the environment and extend or modify these cost reduction measures as the market condition
develops. Despite this current situation and the challenges it imposes, we have developed methods to continue to engage with our current and prospective customers through video conferencing, virtual training events, and online education demos
to offer our support and showcase the value of our products.

Personal unit revenues consist of ReWalk Personal 6.0 and Distributed Products sale, rental, service and warranty revenue for home use.
Rehabilitation unit revenues consist of ReStore, Distributed Products and SCI Products sale, rental, service and warranty revenue to clinics, hospitals for treating patients with
relevant medical conditions.
Revenues increased by $556 thousand, or 73%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase is due to increase of ReWalk
Personal 6.0 units sold in the United States and Germany.
In the future, we expect our growth to be driven by sales of our ReWalk Personal device to third-party payors as we continue to focus our resources on broader commercial coverage
policies with third-party payors as well as sales of the ReStore and other products to rehabilitation clinics and for personal use.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was as follows (in thousands):

Gross profit was 54% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 49% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in gross profit for the three months ended March 31,
2021 was mainly driven by the higher volume of units sold.
We expect our gross profit to improve, assuming we increase our sales volumes, which could also decrease the product manufacturing costs. Improvements may be partially offset by
the lower margins we expect upon the launch period of our new ReStore and Distributed Products as well as due to an increase in the cost of product parts.

Research and development expenses, net, decreased $190 thousand, or 19%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease
is attributable to lower number of employees and employee-related expenses offset by an increase in our consulting spending.
We intend to focus our research and development expenses mainly on our current products maintenance as well as developing our “soft suit” exoskeleton for additional indications
affecting the ability to walk or a home use design.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates,
judgments and assumptions that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. We base our estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information
becomes known. Besides the estimates identified above that are considered critical, we make many other accounting estimates in preparing our condensed financial statements and related disclosures. See Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial
statements included in our 2020 Form 10-K for a description of the significant accounting policies that we used to prepare our consolidated financial statements.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or our critical judgments from the information provided in “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” of our 2020 Form 10-K, except for the updates provided in Note 3 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements set forth in “Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements” of this quarterly report .

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity and Outlook
Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of certain of our equity securities and convertible notes to investors in private placements, the sale of
our ordinary shares in public offerings and the incurrence of bank debt.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company incurred a consolidated net loss of $3.1 million and has an accumulated deficit in the total amount of $184.5 million. Our cash and cash
equivalent as of March 31, 2021, totaled $67.4 million and the Company’s negative operating cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $3.2 million. The Company has sufficient funds to support its operation for more than 12 months
following the approval of our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
We expect to incur future net losses and our transition to profitability is dependent upon, among other things, the successful development and commercialization of our products
and product candidates, the achievement of a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure. Until we achieve profitability or generate positive cash flows, we will continue to need to raise additional cash. We intend to fund future
operations through cash on hand, additional private and/or public offerings of debt or equity securities, cash exercises of outstanding warrants or a combination of the foregoing. In addition, we may seek additional capital through arrangements
with strategic partners or from other sources and we will continue to address our cost structure. Notwithstanding, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds or achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows
from operations.
Our anticipated primary uses of cash are: (i) sales, marketing and reimbursement expenses related to market development activities of our ReStore and Personal 6.0 devices, broadening third-party
payor and CMS coverage for our ReWalk Personal device and commercializing our new product lines added through distribution agreements; (ii) research and development of our lightweight exo-suit technology for potential home personal health
utilization for multiple indications and future generation designs for our spinal cord injury device; (iii) routine product updates; and (iv) general corporate purposes, including working capital needs. We may also use such proceeds for potential
acquisitions in complementary businesses, although we do not currently have any agreement or understanding with respect to an acquisition in which we plan to invest such proceeds. Our future cash requirements will depend on many factors, including
our rate of revenue growth, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of our spending on research and development efforts and international expansion. If our current estimates of revenue, expenses or capital or
liquidity requirements change or are inaccurate, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities, arrange for additional bank debt financing or refinance our indebtedness. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds
on acceptable terms.
Loan Agreement with Kreos and Related Warrant to Purchase Ordinary Shares
On December 30, 2015, we entered into the Loan Agreement with Kreos pursuant to which Kreos extended a line of credit to us in the amount of $20.0 million, with interest payable
monthly in arrears on any amounts drawn down at a rate of 10.75% per year from the applicable drawdown date through the date on which all principal is repaid. As of June 30, 2017, the Company raised more than $20.0 million in connection with the
issuance of its share capital and, therefore, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the repayment period was extended from 24 months to 36 months. The principal was also reduced in connection with the issuance of the Kreos Convertible
Note on June 9, 2017. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, we granted Kreos a first priority security interest over all of our assets, including certain intellectual property and equity interests in its subsidiaries, subject to certain permitted
security interests.
Pursuant to the terms of the warrant, in connection with the $20.0 million drawdown under the Loan Agreement on January 4, 2016, we issued to Kreos the warrant to purchase up to
4,771 of our ordinary shares at an exercise price of $241.0 per share, increased to 6,679 ordinary shares on December 28, 2016. Subject to the terms of the warrant, the warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the earlier
of (i) December 30, 2025, or (ii) immediately prior to the consummation of a merger, consolidation, or reorganization of us with or into, or the sale or license of all or substantially all our assets or shares to, any other entity or person, other
than a wholly-owned subsidiary of us, excluding any transaction in which our shareholders prior to the transaction will hold more than 50% of the voting and economic rights of the surviving entity after the transaction.
31
On June 9, 2017, the Company and Kreos entered into the First Amendment, under which $3.0 million of the outstanding principal under the Loan Agreement became subject to
repayment pursuant to the senior secured Kreos Convertible Note issued on June 9, 2017.
On November 20, 2018, the Company and Kreos entered into the Second Amendment of the Loan Agreement, in which the Company repaid Kreos the $3.6 million other related payments,
including prepayment costs and end of loan payments, terminating the Kreos Note, by issuing to Kreos 192,000 units and 288,000 pre-funded units as part of an underwritten public offering at the public offering prices, and the parties agreed to
revise the principal and the repayment schedule under the Kreos Loan. Additionally, Kreos and the Company entered into the Kreos Warrant Amendment, which amended the exercise price of the warrant to purchase 6,679 ordinary shares currently held by
Kreos from $241 to $7.5.
On June 5, 2019 and June 6, 2019, the Company entered into warrant exercise agreements with certain institutional investors of warrants to purchase the Company’s ordinary shares,
pursuant to which, Kreos agreed to exercise in cash their November 2018 warrants at the then-effective exercise price of $7.50 per share. Under the exercise agreements, the Company also agreed to issue to Kreos new warrants to purchase up to
480,000 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $7.50 per share with an exercise period of five years.
On December 29, 2020, the Company repaid in full the remaining loan principal amount to Kreos including end of loan payments and by that discharged all of its obligation to Kreos
Accordingly, as of December 31, 2020 the outstanding principal amount under the Kreos Loan Agreement was zero.
Paycheck Protection Program Loan Agreement
On April 21, 2020, RRI entered into a note agreement (the “Note”) evidencing an unsecured loan in the amount of $392 thousand under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) as
part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) enacted on March 27, 2020. The Note provides for an interest rate of 1.00% per year and matures two years after the date of initial disbursement. Beginning on the
seventh month following the date of initial disbursement, RRI is required to make 18 monthly payments of principal and interest. The Note may be used for payroll costs, costs related to certain group health care benefits and insurance premiums,
rent payments, utility payments, mortgage interest payments and interest payments on any other debt obligation that were incurred before February 15, 2020. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted
forgiveness for all or a portion of loan granted under the PPP, with such forgiveness to be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and
utilities. The terms of any forgiveness may also be subject to further requirements in any regulations and guidelines the Small Business Administration may adopt.
On September 29, 2020, the Company submitted an application for loan forgiveness and on November 6, 2020 the Company received confirmation of its PPP Note forgiveness.

Equity Raises
Use of Form S-3
Beginning with the filing of our Form 10-K on February 17, 2017, we were subject to limitations under the applicable rules of Form S-3, which constrained our ability to secure capital pursuant to our
At The Market (“ATM”) Offering Program or other public offerings pursuant to our effective Form S-3. These rules limit the size of primary securities offerings conducted by issuers with a public float of less than $75 million to no more than
one-third of their public float in any 12-month period. As of February 16, 2021, since our public float has reached at least $75 million in the preceding 60 days, these limitations will no longer apply to our primary offerings under Form S-3 until
the filing of our annual report on Form 10-K in 2022, when we will re-test our status under these rules. If our public float subsequently drops below $75 million as of the filing of that or a subsequent annual report on Form 10-K, or at the time we
file a new Form S-3, we will become subject to these limitations again, until the date that our public float again reaches $75 million. These limitations do not apply to secondary offerings for the resale of our ordinary shares or other securities
by selling shareholders or to the issuance of ordinary shares upon conversion by holders of convertible securities, such as warrants. Our currently effective Form S-3 expires on May 23, 2022. We have registered up to $100 million of ordinary
shares warrants and/or debt securities and certain other outstanding securities with registration rights on the Form S-3.
Equity Offerings and Subsequent Warrant Exercises

ATM Offering Program
On May 10, 2016, we entered into our Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Jaffray, as amended on May 9, 2019, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time,
ordinary shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million through Piper Jaffray acting as our agent. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Distribution Agreement, Piper Jaffray will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to sell on our behalf all of the ordinary shares requested to be sold by us, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices. Piper Jaffray may also act as principal in the sale of ordinary shares under the Equity Distribution
Agreement. Such sales may be made under our Form S-3 in what may be deemed “at-the-market” equity offerings as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market, to or through a market maker
other than on an exchange or otherwise, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or any other method permitted by law, including in privately negotiated
transactions.
34
Piper Jaffray is entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3% of the gross sales price per share sold through it as agent
under the Equity Distribution Agreement. Where Piper Jaffray acts as principal in the sale of ordinary shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement, such rate of compensation will not apply, but in no event will the total compensation of Piper
Jaffray, when combined with the reimbursement of Piper Jaffray for the out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of its legal counsel, exceed 8.0% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the ordinary shares.
We may instruct Piper Jaffray not to sell ordinary shares if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any instruction. We or Piper Jaffray may
suspend an offering of ordinary shares under the ATM Offering Program upon proper notice and subject to other conditions, as further described in the Equity Distribution Agreement. Additionally, the ATM Offering Program will terminate on the
earlier of (i) the sale of all ordinary shares subject to the Equity Distribution Agreement, (ii) the date that is three years after a new registration statement on Form S-3 goes effective, (iii) our becoming ineligible to use Form S-3 and (iv)
termination of the Equity Distribution Agreement by the parties. The Equity Distribution Agreement may be terminated by Piper Jaffray or us at any time on the close of business on the date of receipt of written notice, and by Piper Jaffray at any
time in certain circumstances, including any suspension or limitation on the trading of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as further described in the Equity Distribution Agreement. We temporarily suspended use of the ATM Offering
Program on February 20, 2019 to facilitate our February 2019 “best efforts” public offering. As of September 30, 2020, we had sold 302,092 ordinary shares under the ATM Offering Program for net proceeds to us of $14.5 million (after commissions,
fees, and expenses). Additionally, as of September 30, 2020, we had paid Piper Jaffray compensation of $471 thousand and had incurred total expenses (including such commissions) of approximately $1.2 million in connection with the ATM Offering
Program.
We intend to continue using the at-the-market offering or similar continuous offering programs opportunistically to raise additional funds, although we are currently subject to
restrictions on using the ATM Offering Program with Piper Jaffray. Under our December 2020 purchase agreement with certain investors, we agreed for a period of one year following December 3, 2020 not to (i) issue or agree to issue equity or debt
securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, ordinary shares at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange price which floats with the trading price of the ordinary shares or which may be adjusted after issuance upon the
occurrence of certain events or (ii) enter into any agreement, including an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future-determined price, other than an at–the-market facility with the placement agent, H.C.
Wainwright, beginning on February 1, 2021. Such limitations may inhibit our ability to access capital efficiently.
Timwell Private Placement
On March 6, 2018, we entered into an investment agreement with Timwell Corporation Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Timwell”), as amended on May 15, 2018 (the “Investment
Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed, in return for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $20 million, to issue to Timwell an aggregate of 640,000 of our ordinary shares, at a price per share of $1.25. The Investment Agreement contemplates
issuances in three tranches, including $5 million for 160,000 shares in the first tranche, $10 million for 320,000 shares in the second tranche and $5 million for 160,000 shares in the third tranche.
The first tranche, consisting of $5 million for 160,000 shares, closed on May 15, 2018. The net aggregate proceeds after deducting commissions, fees and offering expenses in the
amount of approximately $705 thousand were approximately $4.3 million.
The closings of the second tranche and third tranche were subject to specified closing conditions, including the formation of a joint venture, the signing of a license agreement
and a supply agreement, and the successful production of certain ReWalk products. The closing of the third tranche was to have occurred by December 31, 2018 and no later than April 1, 2019. We believe that Timwell committed various material
breaches of the Investment Agreement, including failure to consummate its second and third investment tranches in the Company for a total of $15 million, failure to enter into a detailed joint venture with the Company, and failure to make payments
for product-related commitments. Nevertheless, until March 2020 we continued to engage in a dialogue with Timwell (and its affiliate RealCan) on alternative pathways to allow us to commercialize our products in China through RealCan and its
affiliates, and also provide for RealCan or an affiliate to invest in us.
35
In late March 2020, Timwell notified us that it would not invest the second and third tranches under the Investment Agreement. In response, in early April 2020, our Board of
Directors also removed Timwell’s designee, who was appointed pursuant to the Investment Agreement, from the Board of Directors, due to this breach pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement. We continue to view China as a market with key
opportunities for products designed for stroke patients, and therefore we continue to evaluate potential relationships with other groups to penetrate the Chinese market.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $1.2 million or 27% due to increased collection as a result of higher sales to customers as well as no interest payments to Kreos

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $45.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to
the higher proceeds received through our February 2021 offering and warrants exercises received during the first quarter of 2021, as well as the fact that we did not have any principal payments pursuant to the Loan Agreement with Kreos after repaying
our debt in full in December 2020.
