Higher revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 reflects both higher volume and a higher average unit selling price compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Gross margin was 79% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Gross margin increased compared to the 65% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, respectively due to higher average selling price on devices directly sold to patients.

Operating expenses were $3,337,000, an increase of $729,000, or 28%, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, versus the comparable period of 2018. The increase in operating expenses primarily reflects the addition of personnel in the second half of 2018 in support of the Company’s expansion of its sales, marketing and reimbursement functions.

The Company’s net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was $2,598,000, or ($0.17) per share, compared with a net loss of $2,345,000, or ($0.20) per share for the corresponding period of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA1 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was a loss of $2,454,000, compared with a loss of $2,052,000 for the corresponding period in 2018. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to this non-GAAP financial measure has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of this measure is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Liquidity

Cash on hand at March 31, 2019 was $9,234,000, compared to $6,541,000 at December 31, 2018. On February 12, 2019, the Company successfully completed a follow-on public offering of its common stock, generating net proceeds of approximately $5,600,000, which the Company continues to expect will provide sufficient liquidity to fund its operations through 2019.
