−Removed: to this point, our primary focus has been on expanding awareness of, and providing treatment options for OSA for and through the dental

−Removed: As our business has evolved, we have

−Removed: emphasis on working with medical doctors and other healthcare providers beyond dentists.
−Removed: Now that we have established a national network

+Added: multi-disciplinary treatment modalities for patients with cranial, dentofacial and postural abnormalities and the wide array of medical
+Added: conditions that may result from them, including mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea (known as OSA) and snoring in adults and children
+Added: Our flagship oral appliances for treating OSA, which have received clearances from the U.S.
+Added: Food and Drug Administration (or FDA)
+Added: as described below, are our Complete Airway Repositioning and/or Expansion (C.A.R.E.) devices.
+Added: We believe our C.A.R.E.
+Added: and other proprietary oral appliances, diagnostic tools, myofunctional therapy, clinical treatments, continuing education, and practice
+Added: solutions represent a powerful and highly effective set of resources for healthcare providers of all disciplines who treat patients suffering
+Added: from debilitating and even life-threatening breathing and sleep disorders and their comorbidities.
+Added: Studies and direct experience have
+Added: shown our comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach represents a significant improvement in the treatment of mild to severe OSA in
+Added: comparison to or when combined with other largely palliative treatments such as the current standard of care for OSA, continuous positive
+Added: airway pressure (known as CPAP), or oral myofunctional therapy.
+Added: We call our overall solution The Vivos Method .
+Added: our inception in 2016 through the latter part of 2023, our primary focus was to increase market share and sales of our appliances by
+Added: training and marketing through dentists to their patients with OSA.
+Added: Through a variety of sales efforts, including a direct sales
+Added: force, email campaigns, social media, print and online media, extensive clinical training and support, we established an
+Added: international network of approximately 2,000 dentists to sell our products and services.
+Added: In addition, to build product credibility
+Added: and broad public awareness, we sought to obtain additional regulatory approvals from the FDA.
+Added: In this model, our revenue was generated from both sales of appliances and related services to dentists as well as
+Added: having dentists enroll for a fee in our Vivos Integrated Practice (or VIP) program.
+Added: In November 2023, we obtained a
+Added: significant first-ever FDA 510(k) clearance for one of our Vivos C.A.R.E.
+Added: oral medical devices to treat severe OSA.
+Added: knowledge, no other oral appliance has ever received such a clearance.
+Added: While such FDA 501(k) clearance was initially met with great
+Added: enthusiasm, by early 2024 our expectation for an increase in appliance sales to our roughly 2,000 trained dentists did not
+Added: We thus determined that, in a post-COVID dental industry environment and despite technological advantages of Vivos
+Added: treatment over alternative treatments for OSA, it was no longer prudent to rely primarily on the dentistry market as the primary
+Added: distribution channel for our products and services.
+Added: Over the course of 2024, we worked to pivot our business strategy and began to steadily decrease our prior dependence
+Added: on dentists to sell our products and our dependence on VIP enrollment revenue.
+Added: This new business strategy is focused on contractual alliances
+Added: with (and, in the future, potential outright acquisitions by us of) OSA healthcare providers, including dentists, sleep centers and others
+Added: and is based on a profit-sharing model between us and the provider which aligns our revenue generation more directly to sales of our novel
+Added: In June of 2024, our business strategy pivot was realized through our entry into our first strategic alliance with Rebis Health
+Added: Holdings, LLC, an operator of multiple sleep treatment centers in Colorado (who we refer to herein as Rebis).
+Added: Rebis rolled out this alliance,
+Added: which promotes all forms of OSA treatments, including the Vivos Method, at a single Rebis location.
+Added: By the end of 2024, Rebis patients
+Added: were selecting Vivos treatment at a rate of approximately 2 to 1 over CPAP, or declining treatment options altogether.
+Added: Subsequently, we
+Added: and Rebis announced that two additional locations within the greater Denver metro area would adopt our new business model.
+Added: results of our affiliation with Rebis to date, we intend to seek additional strategic affiliations, acquisitions, or alliances with sleep
+Added: testing and treatment centers nationwide.
+Added: See “New Marketing and Distribution Alliance Strategy” below for more information.
+Added: are approximately 4,500 sleep testing centers or sleep treatment clinics throughout the United States.
+Added: These testing labs are typically
+Added: affiliated with or owned by independent sleep specialists.
+Added: Medical doctors of all kinds tend to refer to patients who suspect of having
+Added: OSA into these facilities for testing and consultation with sleep specialist medical doctors.
+Added: Once patients receive a diagnosis and in
+Added: many of these clinics, the default treatment recommendation is some form of CPAP.
+Added: As noted above, through extensive interactions with
+Added: patients, at Rebis and otherwise, we have seen patients prefer Vivos treatment about 2 to 1 over CPAP or declining treatment options
+Added: When patients are educated about their OSA condition and the harm it does to their overall health, most of them would like
+Added: to fix the problem and not have to wear a medical device such as CPAP for the rest of their lives.
+Added: connection with our business model pivot, we have refined and enhanced diagnostic services and clinical care for patients with OSA.
+Added: As a direct result of these efforts, our average treatment times for our multidisciplinary Vivos Method using Vivos C.A.R.E.
+Added: devices have been reduced from approximately 18 to 24 months to 9 to 12 months.
+Added: We believe this makes our Vivos treatment much more
+Added: appealing to patients with OSA as opposed to alternative treatments such as CPAP or surgical treatments.
+Added: Importantly, the data which we submitted to the
+Added: FDA pursuant to our clearance showed average treatment times of 9.7 months.
+Added: In addition, we have developed, and are currently in the
+Added: process of implementing, a more robust clinical diagnostic protocol that facilitates gathering greater clinical data, while also
+Added: driving much higher insurance payer reimbursements.
+Added: this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we sometimes refer to medical doctors, dentists and other medical professionals who treat OSA as “providers”
+Added: (including our independent Vivos-trained dentists).
+Added: Marketing and Distribution Alliance Strategy
+Added: We believe our sales, marketing
+Added: and distribution pivot in 2024 will be critical to our ability to drive our future revenue growth.
+Added: Our Rebis alliance, which we hope will
+Added: be the first of a series of similar alliances and potential acquisitions across the country, marks an important pivot in our marketing
+Added: and distribution model for our cutting-edge OSA appliances.
+Added: Under the new alliance, we are collaborating with Rebis to offer OSA patients
+Added: a full spectrum of evidence-based treatments such as our own advanced, proprietary and FDA-cleared C.A.R.E.
+Added: oral medical devices, oral
+Added: appliances and additional adjunctive therapies and methods including CPAP machines.
+Added: The program commenced in August of 2024 in the Longmont
+Added: office of Rebis.
+Added: We believe the advantages of this
+Added: new strategic marketing and distribution model are compelling:
+Added: First, it provides Vivos-trained providers direct access to far more OSA patients who are likely candidates for OSA treatment with The Vivos Method.
+Added: As we roll out this new model going forward, potentially thousands of patients each month could be introduced to Vivos treatment options.
+Added: Second, we expect to close (meaning convincing the patient to start) more OSA treatment cases using Vivos-trained personnel.
+Added: In our pilot testing, which we conducted at over 45 separate locations around the United States during 2023 and 2024, our Vivos-trained personnel were able to consistently close over 70% of patients into some form of Vivos treatment.
+Added: These figures were relatively consistent across diverse demographic and economic patient profiles and geographies.
+Added: Third, top line revenue and profit per case are expected to rise.
+Added: We project that each patient who signs up for Vivos treatment represents a potential increase to Vivos top line revenue with contribution margins of up to 50%.
+Added: This significantly alters the economics to Vivos, when compared to our prior model, increasing top-line revenues per case start by approximately 4-6 times.
+Added: In summary, under our new model,
+Added: we expect to present Vivos treatments to more patients, refer a higher percentage of cases into Vivos treatment, and potentially generate
+Added: more revenue and profit per case.
+Added: The Rebis strategic alliance was announced alongside
+Added: a $7.5 million equity private placement by us with an affiliate of New Seneca Partners, Inc.
+Added: (who we refer herein as Seneca).
+Added: to certain conditions, Seneca will participate in our net cash flow allocation from the alliance up to an agreed-upon amount as partial
+Added: consideration for the management advisory services Seneca is providing to us.

−Removed: With an estimated 2,600 DSO groups in the U.S.

−Removed: Our indirect marketing channels include strategic partners, key industry opinion leaders, trade shows and our own clinical
−Removed: advisor network.
−Removed: In 2021, we made strides by establishing the following strategic partnerships aimed and broadening awareness of and
−Removed: selling efforts for The Vivos Method:
−Removed: October 2021, we announced a new collaboration with Candid Care Co., a digital platform for oral healthcare, which will seek to provide
−Removed: patients with a comprehensive, whole-mouth solution to diagnose and treat OSA in adult patients and provide orthodontic treatment
−Removed: from the same provider network.
−Removed: Over the course of time, the Candid collaboration proved to be unsustainable and unprofitable to
−Removed: the point where it was cancelled by Vivos in the early part of 2023.
−Removed: October, 2023, we announced two key strategic agreements to expand our current product line, and thus create exciting new revenue
−Removed: opportunities.
−Removed: The first was with Ormco, a division of publicly traded Envista Holdings Corporation, purveyors of Spark Clear Aligners.
−Removed: Spark Aligners are rapidly becoming the “go to” clear aligners of choice for orthodontic specialists.
−Removed: The majority of
−Removed: our VIPs use clear aligners as a key component of their Vivos treatment.
−Removed: This agreement will provide pricing discounts to the VIPs
−Removed: and profit margin for Vivos.
−Removed: The second key agreement announced in early October was with On Demand Orthodontist (ODO) and represents
−Removed: an exciting new service to our VIPs, featuring direct access and case collaboration with airway-focused orthodontic specialists who
−Removed: are available to help optimize clinical outcomes for Vivos cases.
−Removed: ODO orthodontists strongly prefer Spark aligners due to their many
−Removed: proven clinical capabilities and advantages over other aligner brands such as Candid.
−Removed: Vivos-trained dentists will now benefit from
−Removed: better overall pricing, while Vivos benefits from a distribution margin associated with each case.
−Removed: direct marketing channels include outreach to prospective VIPs using digital advertising platforms including Facebook and Google ad placements.
−Removed: The objective of our indirect and direct marketing efforts are to bring dentists, medical doctors and healthcare professionals to our
−Removed: educational and training websites to learn about OSA and its treatment alternatives.
−Removed: further believe our dentist and medical doctor marketing efforts have been effective in facilitating contact via our Vivos introduction
−Removed: and online training webinars, despite significant headwinds throughout our core customer base, mostly driven by COVID-19 Delta and Omicron
−Removed: variant resurgences in the middle and latter part of the year.
+Added: Domestically,
+Added: during 2024, we continued our prospecting and marketing efforts to the dental community, albeit on a limited and dramatically scaled
+Added: back basis, as we reposition personnel and resources over to support our new strategic marketing distribution and acquisition model.
+Added: As part of our new strategic marketing distribution, we are collaborating with Rebis to offer OSA patients a full spectrum of
+Added: evidence-based treatments such as our own advanced, proprietary and FDA-cleared C.A.R.E.
+Added: oral medical devices, oral appliances and
+Added: additional adjunctive therapies and methods including CPAP machines.
+Added: The program commenced in August of 2024 in the Longmont office
+Added: We believe this new strategic marketing and distribution model provides several advantages.
+Added: First, it provides
+Added: Vivos-trained providers direct access to far more OSA patients who are likely candidates for Vivos treatment.
+Added: As we roll out this
+Added: new model going forward, potentially thousands of patients each month could be exposed to Vivos treatment options.
+Added: Second, we expect
+Added: to close more cases using Vivos-trained personnel.
+Added: Third, top line revenue and profit per case are expected to rise.
+Added: significantly alters the economics to Vivos, when compared to our prior model, increasing top-line revenues per case start by
+Added: approximately 4-6 times.
+Added: In summary, under our new model, we expect to present Vivos treatment to more patients, refer a higher
+Added: percentage of cases into Vivos treatment, and generate more revenue and profit per case.
+Added: Accordingly, we have scaled back our VIP
+Added: enrollments, and as a result, our in-house direct sales personnel and have asked our Practice Advisors to assume direct sales and
+Added: marketing activities.
+Added: Although we have seen some initial benefits from these changes, we do not yet have data to support any
+Added: conclusions as to the effects of these changes overall on our revenue and potential for profit.
+Added: However, we believe the potential
+Added: for revenue growth from our new direct marketing distribution and acquisition model may eventually replace revenue from our legacy
+Added: model of VIP enrollments and we expect higher revenue and margins.
+Added: Internationally,
+Added: our efforts are primarily focused on the MENA region of the Middle East, where we have a very active international distributor, Noum,
+Added: In November 2024, we conducted our first regional training in Dubai.
+Added: Since then, patient interest in the region is exceeding forecasts,
+Added: and we expect to continue to support our training and distribution efforts going forward.
+Added: At this time, we do not have plans to continue
