First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023, was $161.1 million, a 72% increase from $93.6 million in the same period of 2022. The growth was primarily driven by an increase in the purchase volume of our catheters in both the United States and internationally.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2023 was $140.0 million compared to $80.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2023 was 87%, as compared to 86% in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by product mix in addition to continued improvement in manufacturing productivity and process efficiencies.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $100.2 million, a 53% increase from $65.4 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by sales force expansion in the United States and higher headcount to support the growth of the business.
Net income for the first quarter of 2023 was $39.1 million, compared to net income of $14.5 million in the same period of 2022. Basic and diluted net income per share for the period was $1.07 and $1.03, respectively.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $416.9 million as of March 31, 2023.
