Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue was $14.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a 9% decrease over the prior year period. This was primarily driven by a decline in desktop devices and handheld recurring revenue. The installed base grew to 2,714 devices with 124 devices placed during the third quarter 2023.

Recurring revenue represented 25% of total revenues in the quarter. Recurring revenue declined $0.9 million to $3.6 million over the prior year period. This was driven by a decline in handheld accessory and consumable revenue, offset in part by growth in service revenue.

Gross profit was $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $9.3 million for the corresponding prior year period. Gross margin was 55% as compared to 59% for the corresponding prior year period. The decline in gross margin was largely due to the decrease in revenues as well as higher service costs with training obligations, charges for excess and obsolete inventory, and the higher non-cash charges for intangible amortization and stock-based compensation during the third quarter of 2023.

Operating expenses were $17.0 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $16.5 million for the corresponding prior year period. This increase was driven by stock-based compensation and an increase in acquisition related costs for intangible amortization and valuation of contingent milestones, offset in part by a reduction in general operating costs.

Net loss was $7.1 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $6.3 million for the corresponding prior year period. Net loss per share was $0.22 for the third quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss per share of $0.20 for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $148 million as of September 30, 2023.

2023 Guidance

908 Devices now expects full year 2023 revenue to be in the range of $49 million to $51 million, representing 4% to 9% growth over full year 2022, which compares to its previous expectations of $49 million to $52 million.
