Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue was $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a 16% increase over the prior year period. This was primarily driven by an increase in handheld devices revenue offset by a decrease in desktop devices revenue. The installed base grew to 3,067 devices with 143 handheld devices and 10 desktop devices placed during the second quarter 2024. Recurring revenue represented 38% of total revenues in the quarter.

Gross profit was $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $5.8 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. Gross margin was 53% as compared to 48% for the corresponding prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $8.1 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $6.0 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. Adjusted gross margin was 58% as compared to 50% for the corresponding prior year period.

Operating expenses were $21.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $16.7 million for the corresponding prior year period. This increase was driven by $1.9 million in acquisition and integration costs, the inclusion of two months of operating expenses related to our RedWave acquisition, and stock-based compensation.

Net loss was $12.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $9.3 million for the corresponding prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to a loss of $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2023.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $77.4 million as of June 30, 2024 with no debt outstanding.

2024 Guidance

908 Devices continues to expect full year reported 2024 revenue to be in the range of $63.0 million to $65.0 million, representing 25% to 29% growth over full year 2023. This includes $11 million of expected revenue from RedWave Technology, representing 8 months of ownership.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

To supplement the Company’s financial statements, which are presented on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance are included in this release and presented with detailed reconciliations to comparable GAAP financial results in the tables below:

• Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as gross profit excluding intangible amortization, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring charges (including the costs of severance), and non-cash expenses related to stock-based compensation.
• Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit expressed as a percentage of total revenue.
• Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding other income, benefit for income taxes, depreciation, intangible amortization, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring charges (including the costs of severance), non-cash expenses related to stock-based compensation, and costs associated with contingent consideration related to the Company’s acquisitions and for which the conditions for payment have not yet been achieved.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial results presented in this earnings release exclude certain costs that management believes do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, nor do the resulting charges recorded accurately reflect the performance of ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are recorded, nor do the resulting charges recorded accurately reflect the anticipated cash flows of ongoing operations, and as such, excluding these costs allows management to understand and evaluate core operating performance and trends. However, as there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures, the Company’s methods may differ from those used by other companies in its industry, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by others, thus limiting their usefulness for purposes of comparison. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures have certain limitations since they do not include the impact of certain expenses and cash flows that are reflected in the Company’s GAAP financial results. Accordingly, when analyzing the Company’s operating performance and guidance, investors should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in addition to and not in lieu of reported GAAP financial results, provide investors with additional meaningful information to assess financial performance and trends, enable comparison of financial results between periods, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics utilized internally in analyzing and operating the Company’s business.
