Financial Results for the First Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2024
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $3.1 million, or 24.1%, to $16.2 million from $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The overall increase was primarily due to an increase in devices sold of $1.8 million, or 17.6% year over year. The increase in devices revenue was primarily driven by higher sales volume in EMEA. Services revenue represented an increase of $1.2 million, up 49.1% compared to the prior period. Other revenues were consistent compared to the prior period. Total revenue in EMEA and the Americas increased by $3.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively, to $10.2 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $6.6 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in sales in Asia.
The impact due to foreign currency translation resulted in a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Gross profit for the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $8.7 million, an increase of 60.6% compared to the prior year period. The increase was driven by an increase of $3.1 million in sales primarily in the EMEA region. Cost of sales was improved as compared to June 30, 2023, and was driven in part by a provision adjustment in the prior year that was not recurring in the current period.
Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $2.8 million, or 48.2%, to $8.7 million from $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven by a $0.7 million increase in professional service costs related to audit, legal and other professional services along with an investment in finance capacity to support public company reporting obligations. Additionally, the increase included a $0.7 million increase in performance-based compensation and a $0.9 million increase in overhead expenses supporting the current growth. In addition, the Company implemented new guidance for the provision of credit losses during the three months ended June 30, 2023 The adjustment during the prior period reduced reserves on receivables in the prior year and, generated a benefit to the Company in the prior year that is not recurring as of the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Research and development costs for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $0.2 million, or 14.3%, to $1.6 million from $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
