Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased 115% to $36.3 million, compared to $16.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Fourth quarter 2015 revenue includes product and service revenue of $12.7 million and $23.6 million of contractual revenue, while fourth quarter 2014 revenue includes product and service revenue of $15.2 million and $1.7 million of contractual revenue.
