EXHIBIT 99.1

BrainsWay Expands U.S. Insurance Coverage for Deep TMS™ Treatment of OCD to Over 118 Million Lives

BURLINGTON, Mass. and JERUSALEM, Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BrainsWay Ltd. (NASDAQ & TASE: BWAY) (“BrainsWay” or the “Company”), a global leader in advanced noninvasive brain stimulation technologies, today announced further expansion in the number of medical policies across the U.S. providing coverage for the use of BrainsWay Deep TMS™ in the treatment of patients suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

With this latest expansion, more than 118 million Americans are now covered under insurance policies that provide access to BrainsWay Deep TMS for OCD, marking another important milestone in the Company's ongoing efforts to broaden patient access to innovative, evidence-based mental health treatments.

“As the first company to receive FDA clearance for a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment for OCD, and the only TMS company to have published data from a randomized, placebo-controlled multicenter pivotal study on its device demonstrating efficacy and safety for this indication, we have established a strong foundation of clinical evidence and leadership in this field,” stated Hadar Levy, Chief Executive Officer of BrainsWay. “Reaching more than 118 million covered lives represents meaningful progress in expanding access to Deep TMS for patients living with this challenging condition. We believe our differentiated clinical evidence, supported by growing real-world experience, continues to strengthen the case for broader payer adoption. We remain committed to working with insurers, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders to expand coverage, reduce barriers to treatment, and make this important therapy available to more patients,” concluded Mr. Levy.

The announcement comes within the broader context of continued momentum in BrainsWay’s reimbursement landscape generally, including the Company’s recent announcement regarding the increase in coverage for its accelerated SWIFT™ protocol in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) patients.

BrainsWay Deep TMS is indicated by the FDA as an intended adjunct treatment for adult patients suffering from OCD. BrainsWay remains the only TMS company to have published data from a randomized, placebo-controlled multicenter study conducted on its device demonstrating the efficacy and safety of the treatment for OCD.
