Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results 
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $31.4 million, a 225% increase compared to $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was due primarily to the contribution of revenue attributed to OCS™ Heart and OCS™ Liver which were driven by expansion of the company's NOP.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $27.5 million compared to $18.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains a non-GAAP financial measure, gross revenue from sales to customers. The Company defines gross margin revenue from sales to customers as total net revenue plus clinical trial payments. The Company's management believes that the presentation of this measure provides useful supplemental information to investors when taken together with the Company's financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. This measure may assist investors in evaluating the Company's operations, period over period. However, this measure may exclude items that may be highly variable and of a size that could have a substantial impact on the company's reported results of operations for a particular period. Management uses this non-GAAP measure internally for evaluation of the performance of the business. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
