Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results
Revenue in the second quarter of 2018 was $5.5 million, demonstrating 9% sequential growth from $5.0 million in first quarter 2018, and a decrease of 5% compared to $5.8 million in second quarter 2017. The year-over-year decline was driven by a decrease in system and upgrade revenues.
Gross margin for the second quarter was 54% compared to 40% in the second quarter of 2017, driven by cost efficiencies in 2018 and higher procedure-based revenue which generally provides a higher gross margin.
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2018 were $8.1 million, a 21% increase from the $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2017. The increase reflects investments in the company’s sales and marketing initiatives, along with a higher headcount and other costs related to hiring.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2018 was $(6.2) million, or $(0.21) per share, compared with a net loss of $(5.0) million, or $(3.09) per share, for the second quarter of 2017.
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were $17.0 million as of June 30 2018 compared to $16.6 million as of March 31, 2018. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of June 30 2018 include proceeds from the company’s debt facility completed in May 2018. The refinancing of the Company’s debt provided an incremental $9.3 million of cash net of the repayment of its previous loan facility and costs.
