Current report

Software and other services mix increased by 11.5 percentage points, to 44.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by increases in software and other services revenue generated by our Embedded partnerships.

Current report

Product revenue increased by $0.5 million, or 3.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was driven by higher probe sales volume in our international distributor and veterinary sales channels, with veterinary sales positively impacted by the launch of our iQ3 Vet probe in the United States and some international markets in the fourth quarter of 2025. We also experienced a favorable shift year-over-year in our product sales mix with a higher proportion of sales of our current-generation iQ3 probes that have a higher selling price than our previous-generation iQ+ probes.

Current report

Cost of product revenue increased by $0.5 million, or 9.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, driven by a $0.5 million increase in cost of devices sold as a result of our higher probe sales volume and a $0.5 million increase in adjustments to our product warranty reserve. These increases were partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in costs for non-recurring semiconductor chip sales during the prior year period.

Current report

Research and development expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or 3.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was driven by a $0.7 million reduction in personnel costs as we allocated more of our personnel costs to cost of software and other services revenue for our Embedded program and capitalized more of our personnel costs for the development of internal-use software. This reduction was partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in software costs as we leveraged more third-party AI tools to optimize our employee workflows during the period.

Current report

Sales and marketing expenses remained relatively flat for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, decreasing by $0.2 million, or 1.7%, largely driven by optimization of our marketing investments while delivering higher sales volume and revenue.

Current report

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $0.6 million, or 169.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by increased investment in the development of our internal-use software.

Current report

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $76.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to the $81.1 million provided by the net proceeds from our public share offering during the prior year period.

Current report

As of March 31, 2026, we concluded that a revision to our estimated liabilities for loss contingencies related to ongoing litigation and the recognition of a related insurance recovery asset were appropriate. As a result, we recognized an additional $3.3 million estimated loss and a $6.0 million loss recovery in our other operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2026. See the "Use of Estimates" subheading in Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and see Note 12 "Commitments and Contingencies" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about our estimated liabilities for loss contingencies and the related insurance recovery asset.
Removed paragraphs (24)

Previous report

Since 2022, we have taken significant actions to reduce our cost of operations and extend our cash runway and have reduced our annual cash requirements by approximately $180 million, to less than $50 million annually. As we look forward, we expect to continue to invest in our business in order to grow revenue. On January 31, 2025, we raised additional capital through the issuance and sale in a public offering of 27.6 million shares of our Class A common stock, generating proceeds of $81.0 million, net of underwriting costs and related expenses.

Previous report

Software and other services mix decreased by 1.9 percentage points, to 32.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease is primarily a reflection of the increases in both our product revenue and total revenue shifting the mix more towards hardware.

Previous report

Product revenue increased by $1.0 million, or 7.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by higher average selling prices in our international markets given the international launch of our iQ3 probe in the third quarter last year. We also had increased sales volume within our eCommerce and vet channels.

Previous report

Software and other services revenue remained relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, decreasing by $0.1 million, or 1.3%. This decrease was primarily driven by lower renewals of individual subscriptions and lower revenue from extended warranties due to the standard warranty of our iQ3 probe being longer than our prior models. These decreases were partially offset by increases in our licensing and services revenue from our partnerships.

Previous report

Cost of product revenue increased by $17.5 million, or 288.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, driven by a non-recurring $17.4 million charge during the three months ended September 30, 2025 for excess and obsolete inventory due to technological advancements in the underlying components of our devices and changes in our product portfolio.

Previous report

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased from 40.5% to 117.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the $17.4 million excess and obsolete inventory charge, which is 80.8% as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Previous report

Research and development expenses remained relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, decreasing by $0.1 million, or 1.6%. This decrease was primarily driven by reduced personnel and product engineering costs that were partially offset by higher professional services costs.

Previous report

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 10.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The most significant drivers of this increase were $0.4 million of higher personnel costs and $0.1 million of higher professional services costs, both resulting from investments in our sales force and client experience function in order to support continued revenue growth.

Previous report

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

Previous report

Product revenue increased by $5.9 million, or 14.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by deliveries of semiconductor chips to one of our Octiv partners in the current year as well as higher average selling prices in our international markets given the international launch of our iQ3 probe in the third quarter last year.

Previous report

Cost of product revenue increased by $18.3 million, or 103.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, driven by a non-recurring $17.4 million charge during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 for excess and obsolete inventory due to technological advancements in the underlying components of our devices and changes in our product portfolio.

Previous report

Cost of software and other services revenue decreased by $1.3 million, or 19.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by a $1.4 million decrease in amortization expense for software development investments that we made in prior years.

Previous report

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased from 41.2% to 62.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the $17.4 million excess and obsolete inventory charge, which is 26.3% as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Previous report

Research and development expenses decreased by $2.0 million, or 7.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by a reduction of $2.4 million in personnel costs as a result of our business transformation initiative in 2024 to optimize our non-specialized technical functions, a reduction of $0.6 million in product engineering costs, and an offsetting increase of $1.2 million in professional services costs for software development and regulatory compliance.

Previous report

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $4.1 million, or 13.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by $3.0 million of higher personnel and other employment-related costs and $0.2 million of higher professional services costs, both resulting from investments in our sales force and client experience function in order to support continued revenue growth.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.9 million, or 6.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by reductions of $0.7 million in insurance costs, $0.5 million in personnel costs partly due to lower stock-based compensation expense, and $0.3 million in external accounting and audit fees.

Previous report

Other increased by $1.8 million, or 49.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was driven by $2.1 million of higher legal costs due to litigation, partially offset by $0.3 million of lower employment-related costs. These costs are not representative of our ongoing operations.

Previous report

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $79.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily comprised of $81.0 million provided by the net proceeds from the public share offering in January 2025 as well as $1.2 million provided by stock plan transactions, partially offset by $2.8 million in cash used for payments of taxes for restricted stock units. We did not have any financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Previous report

As of September 30, 2025, we concluded that a revision to our estimates of the net realizable value of our inventories and of excess and obsolete inventory was appropriate due to technological advancements in the underlying components of our devices and changes in our product portfolio. As a result, we recognized an additional $17.4 million non-recurring charge for excess and obsolete inventory in our cost of product revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. This was in addition to the insignificant, recurring net realizable value and excess and obsolete inventory adjustments we typically recognize.
