Total net revenues for the third quarter of 2024 were $8.2 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 16.8% over the prior year period. Domestic core revenues were $6.4 million, an increase of 11.7% over the prior year period, primarily due to higher consumable and pump volumes driven by new patients starts and market share gains. International core revenues were $1.1 million, an increase of 5.1% over the prior year period, primarily due to higher consumable volumes driven largely by increased Ig supply, increased penetration within certain approved indications, and geographic expansion. Partially offsetting the growth were lower orders from a distribution partner that expedited $0.3 million orders in the second quarter of 2024 related to the BSI regulatory review which has since been successfully appealed. Novel Therapies revenues for the third quarter of 2024 were $0.6 million, an increase of 275.6% over the prior year period, primarily driven by clinical trial orders and progress on NRE milestones completed for multiple collaboration agreements.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2024 was $5.2 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or 19%, over the prior year period. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2024 was 63.4%, an increase of 140 basis points, compared to 62.0% in the prior year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by a favorable sales mix of clinical trial orders, improved NRE mix of more profitable services, and increased average selling prices when compared to the prior year period.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $6.9 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or 12.3%, over the prior year period primarily driven by compensation related to new hires, bonus accruals, and severance for the elimination of the CTO role.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.6 million, or ($0.03) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million, or ($0.03) per diluted share, for the prior year period, primarily driven by an increase in operating expenses of $0.8 million, and a prior year tax benefit of $0.2 million offset by an increase in gross profit of $0.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was ($0.4) million, or ($0.01) per diluted share, compared to adjusted EBITDA of ($0.9) million, or ($0.02) per diluted share, for the for the prior year period. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS is provided at the end of this press release.

*Numbers presented are rounded to the nearest whole cent

Allowance for nonrealization of deferred tax assets (DTA). We have excluded the effect of recording a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the third quarter ended 2024 in the amount of $0.3 million. It was determined that no valuation allowance was

necessary in the third quarter ended 2023.

Reorganization Charges. We have excluded the effect of reorganization charges in calculating our non-GAAP measures. In 2024 we incurred severance expenses related to the reorganization of the leadership team, which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part of continuing operations.

Stock-based Compensation Expense. We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expense in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We record non-cash compensation expenses related to grants of equity-based awards for executives, employees, consultants, and directors. Depending upon the size, timing and the terms of the grants, the non-cash compensation expense may vary significantly but is expected to recur in future periods.
