Revenue was $3.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2021.

Gross profit decreased 6.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Gross margin was approximately 51% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a gross margin of 59% for the same period in 2021. The overall decrease in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in service and supply chain costs, partially offset by a higher proportion of revenues by EksoHealth.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 were $2.6 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 16%, compared to the same period of 2021.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 were $0.9 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 51%, compared to the same period of 2021. The increase was primarily due to sustaining engineering activity for the EksoNR and the development of next generation products.

Gross margin was approximately 48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a gross margin of 60% for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in inventory and supply chain costs.
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $7.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 18%, compared to the same period of 2021.
