Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, was $180.2 million, a 49% increase from $120.7 million in the same period of 2022. The growth was primarily driven by an increase in the purchase volume of our catheters in both the United States and internationally.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 was $155.7 million compared to $104.0 million for the second quarter of 2022. Gross margin percentage was 86% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, which was unchanged from the gross margin percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $123.3 million, a 66% increase from $74.4 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by sales force expansion, higher headcount to support the growth of the business, and acquisition-related expenses associated with the acquisition of Neovasc.

Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $28.9 million, compared to net income of $25.6 million in the same period of 2022. Basic and diluted net income per share for the period was $0.79 and $0.76, respectively.
