Total net revenue increased $0.4 million, or 6%, for the three months ending
June 30, 2023, compared to last year. Domestic Core growth of 8% was primarily driven by increased growth in consumables and pumps, new
accounts, and increased prefilled syringe adoption. International Core growth of 17% was driven by strength across several EU markets,
and growing global immunoglobulin drug volume availability. Novel Therapies net revenue declined by 28% in primarily related to strong
non-recurring engineering revenues in the comparable quarter last year as well as the timing of 2023 pipeline wins.
Gross profit increased $0.5 million or 16% in the three months ended June
30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The gross profit increase was driven by the rise in net revenue of $0.4 million, as described
above. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 56.1% compared to 51.1% in the second quarter of 2022. The increase in the
gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by increased production efficiencies compared to the prior year.
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $7.1 million,
compared to $7.0 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the impact of research and
development costs in support of our innovation efforts.
