Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenue was $3.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2021. Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 included approximately $3.5 million in EksoHealth revenue and approximately $0.1 million in EksoWorks revenue. The Company booked a total of 27 EksoHealth devices in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was $1.7 million, compared to $2.4 million in the same period in 2021, representing a gross margin of approximately 47% in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to a gross margin for the same period in 2021 of 59%. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in service and supply chain costs, elevated labor costs, and lower average selling prices of device sales due to sales channel mix.
Sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 were $1.9 million, compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower compensation related costs.
Research and development expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 were $0.9 million, compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to product development activity for next generation products, which drove an increase in compensation and outside services expenses.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 were $3.2 million, compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2021, a decrease of $1.0 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower legal and consulting expenses.
Gain on warrant liabilities for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was $0.3 million due to the revaluation of warrants issued in 2019, 2020 and 2021, compared to a $2.0 million gain associated with the revaluation of warrants issued in 2019, 2020 and 2021 for the same period in 2021.
Net loss applicable to common stockholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was $3.2 million, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2021.
Full Year 2022 Financial Results
Revenue for the full year ended December 31, 2022 was $12.9 million, compared to $11.2 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of 15%. This increase was comprised of a $2.1 million increase in EksoHealth revenue, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in EksoWorks revenue.
Gross profit for the full year ended December 31, 2022 was approximately $6.2 million, representing a gross margin of approximately 48%, compared to gross profit of $6.7 million for the same period in 2021, representing a gross margin of 60%. The decline in gross profit was a result of lower gross margins driven by increases in service and supply chain costs, elevated labor costs, and lower average selling prices of device sales due to sales channel mix.
Sales and marketing expenses for the full year ended December 31, 2022 were $7.2 million, compared to $7.3 million for the same period in 2021, a decrease of $0.1 million primarily due to improved efficiencies.
Research and development expenses for the full year ended December 31, 2022 were $3.6 million, compared to $2.5 million in the same period in 2021. The increase in expenses was primarily due to the development of next generation products.
General and administrative expenses for the full year ended December 31, 2022 were $11.0 million, compared to $10.7 million in the same period in 2021. The increase in expenses was primarily due to one-time severance expenses associated with management changes and costs associated with the move of the Company’s headquarters and manufacturing facility. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in legal and consulting expenses.
Gain on warrant liabilities for the full year ended December 31, 2022 was $1.3 million associated with the revaluation of warrants issued in 2019, 2020 and 2021, compared to a gain of $4.0 million associated with the revaluation of warrants issued in 2019, 2020 and 2021 for the same period in 2021. Gains and losses on revaluation of warrants were primarily driven by changes in the Company’s stock price.
Net loss applicable to common shareholders for the full year ended December 31, 2022 was $15.1 million, or $1.16 per basic and diluted share, compared to $9.8 million, or $0.80 per basic share and $0.88 per diluted share, for the same period in 2021.
Cash on hand at December 31, 2022 was $20.5 million, compared to $40.4 million at December 31, 2021. For the full year ended December 31, 2022, the Company used $14.7 million of cash in operations, compared to $11.2 million for the same period in 2021.
