.....
Summary First Quarter 2023 Results
For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded revenue of approximately $1.9 million, representing an increase of 36% from approximately $1.4 million in the same three-month period a year ago. Recurring revenue, which consists of the sale of TULSA-PRO(R) consumables, lease of medical devices, procedures and services associated with extended warranties, increased 43% to approximately $1.5 million, while one-time sale of capital equipment increased 16% to approximately $393,000.
Total operating expenses, which consist of research and development ("R&D"), general and administrative ("G&A"), and selling and distribution ("S&D") expenses, were approximately $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 4% compared with approximately $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2022.
Expenditures for R&D for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were approximately $3.8 million, an increase of 21% compared with approximately $3.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to: higher materials expense associated with R&D initiatives to reduce design costs, improve efficiencies and improve quality, and also with increased procedures and materials associated with CAPTAIN trial treatments; increased consulting fees due to regulatory consultants being utilized to assist with regulatory approvals in various countries; higher rent due to increased MRI time usage and increased rental area for labs; and higher share-based compensation due to awards granted to employees. Partially offsetting these amounts was a decrease in office supply costs due to timing of orders and supply chain issues which arose in the first quarter of 2022, and a decrease in amortization expenses due to intangible assets associated with the Sonalleve(R) brand and technology being fully amortized.
G&A expenses for the 2023 first quarter decreased by 10% to approximately $2.1 million, compared with approximately $2.3 million in the same period in 2022, due primarily to lower salaries and benefits, consulting fees and software expenses. These were partially offset by increased share-based compensation, insurance and office and other expenses.
First quarter 2023 S&D expenses decreased by 4% to approximately $2.1 million, compared with $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. This was driven by lower share based compensation, due to fewer awards granted to employees, offset partially by an increase in travel and other expenses due to increased in-person conferences, customer meetings, release of patient videos and marketing materials.
Net finance income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was approximately $145,000, compared with approximate net finance costs of $892,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2022.
First quarter 2023 net loss was approximately $6.8 million, or $0.32 per common share, compared to approximately $10.5 million, or $0.40 per common share, in the three months ended March 31, 2022.
