Gross margin was 87% for the first quarter 2022, as compared to 89% in the corresponding period in 2021. Gross margin in the first quarter 2022 was impacted by lower average selling prices due to procedure and site of service mix, as well as an increase in cost of operations to support the growth of the business.

Operating expenses increased 22% to $36.3 million in the first quarter 2022, as compared to $29.8 million in the corresponding period in 2021. The increase was driven by higher sales and marketing expenses related to sales force expansion, higher travel costs, research and development investment and increased stock-based compensation.

Operating loss was $16.9 million in the first quarter 2022, as compared to an operating loss of $11.6 million in the corresponding period in 2021.

Net loss was $17.4 million, or $0.52 per diluted share for the first quarter 2022, as compared to a net loss of $12.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted share in the corresponding period in 2021.
