Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Revenue was $5.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 5%, compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2023. The Company sold a total of 37 EksoHealth devices in the second quarter of 2024.
Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $2.6 million, representing a gross margin of approximately 53%, compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2023, representing a gross margin of 48%. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in the average selling price for the EksoNR and lower EksoHealth device and service costs.
Sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $1.8 million, compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2023. The 21% decrease was primarily due to lower headcount and consultant costs.
Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $1.1 million, compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2023. The 20% decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the use of third-party product development consultants and lower discretionary payroll costs.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $2.0 million, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2023. The 28% decrease was primarily due to lower discretionary payroll, consultant, and legal costs.
Net loss applicable to common stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $2.4 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $4.2 million, or $0.31 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2023.

Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $2.3 million, compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2023. The 12% decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the use of third-party product development consultants and lower discretionary payroll costs.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $4.3 million, compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2023. The 29% decrease was primarily due to the absence of costs associated with the acquisition and integration of Human Motion Control (“HMC”) in the comparable period, and lower discretionary payroll, consultant and legal costs.
Net loss applicable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $5.8 million, or $0.33 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $8.6 million, or $0.64 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2023.
