Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue was $184.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, a 18% increase from $156.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to a higher volume of Spatial instruments and consumables sold.

Gross margin was 63% for the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to 76% for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to product mix with a higher mix of Spatial instruments sold.

Operating expenses were $171.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a 20% increase from $142.5 million for the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by $19.6 million of in-process research and development expense related to an agreement to acquire certain intangible and other assets earlier this year and impairment charges related to long-lived assets.

Operating loss was $55.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to an operating loss of $23.1 million for the corresponding prior year period. Operating loss also includes $38.9 million of stock-based compensation for the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to $41.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Net loss was $49.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to a net loss of $17.2 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Gross margin was 66% for full year 2023, as compared to 77% for 2022. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to product mix with a higher mix of Spatial instruments sold.

Operating expenses were $674.6 million for full year 2023, as compared to $564.0 million for 2022, an increase of 20%. The increase was primarily driven by $61.0 million of in-process research and development expense related to an agreement to acquire certain intangible and other assets earlier this year and higher personnel expenses including stock-based compensation expense.
