First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $130,159 compared to revenues of $51,844 for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased PrintRite3D sales, increased subscription-based revenue, and increased annual maintenance contract revenue.

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2023 was 51% compared to gross margin of 23% for the prior year quarter. The gross margin increase was primarily driven by an increase in subscription and legacy Rapid Test & Evaluation (“RTE”) revenue during the first quarter of 2023.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $1.8 million, compared to $2.3 million in 2022, a decrease of 19%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in salaries and benefits, office expenses, and business travel.
