Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $71,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was the result of commencement of sales of our Proteograph Product Suite and services performed for PrognomIQ. Product revenue was $837,000, related party revenue was $380,000, and grant revenue was $117,000.
Gross profit, inclusive of grant revenue, was $748,000 and gross margin was 56% for the second quarter of 2021.
Operating expenses were $17.4 million for the second quarter of 2021, as compared to $6.4 million for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in expenses was driven by increased compensation, benefit and stock-based compensation expense associated with an increase in personnel, and an increase in costs associated with becoming a publicly traded company.
Net loss was $16.6 million for the second quarter of 2021, as compared to $6.1 million for the corresponding prior year period.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments were approximately $518 million as of June 30, 2021.
