Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Worldwide revenue was $22.2 million in the second quarter 2021, a 58% increase from $14.0 million in the corresponding period in 2020. U.S. revenue for the second quarter 2021 was $20.2 million, a 53% increase from $13.2 million in the corresponding period in 2020. International revenue for the second quarter 2021 was $2.0 million, a 137% increase from $0.8 million in the corresponding period in 2020. The second quarter 2020 was significantly impacted by COVID-19.

Gross margin was 89% for the second quarter 2021, as compared to 85% in the corresponding period in 2020 as higher cost of operations to support the growth of the business were offset by lower inventory write-downs. The second quarter 2020 gross margins were impacted by certain period costs that were expensed as incurred due to suboptimal capacity utilization driven by lower case volume and increases in inventory write-downs.

Operating expenses increased 49% to $32.8 million in the second quarter 2021, as compared to $22.1 million in the corresponding period in 2020. The higher operating expenses were driven by increased sales hiring, research and development expenses for new product development costs and increased stock-based compensation expense. The second quarter 2020 operating expenses were impacted by preemptive steps taken in response to COVID-19 to reduce discretionary spending.

Operating loss was $13.0 million in the second quarter 2021, as compared to an operating loss of $10.1 million in the corresponding period in 2020.

Net loss was $14.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share for the second quarter 2021, as compared to a net loss of $12.5 million, or $0.44 per diluted share in the corresponding period in 2020.

Cash and marketable securities were $176.6 million and long-term borrowings were $39.6 million as of June 30, 2021.

2021 Financial Guidance

The Company continues to take a measured approach given the early stages of the COVID-19 recovery, and maintains the full year 2021 total revenue guidance to be approximately $92 million to $94 million, representing growth of 25% to 28% compared to full year 2020. Given the gross margin trends in the first and second quarter of 2021, the Company is updating the gross margin guidance to between 87% to 89% for full year 2021.
