First Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue was $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a 39% increase from $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This growth was related to the 103% increase in product and service revenue which was driven predominantly by an increase in MX908 and Rebel units compared to the prior year period, as well as strong recurring revenue. The install base grew to 1,427 placements with 66 devices placed in Q1 2021.
Gross profit was $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $2.1 million for the corresponding prior year period. Product and service gross margin was 52%, as compared to 41% for the corresponding prior year period.
Operating expenses were $8.7 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $4.9 million for the corresponding prior year period. This increase was driven by headcount expansion across our business, primarily focused in our commercial organization, and increased expenses related to operating as a public company.
Net loss was $6.1 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $3.0 million for the corresponding prior year period. Net loss per share was $0.22 for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $0.60 for the corresponding prior year period.
Cash and cash equivalents were $149 million as of March 31, 2021. In addition, the Company has approximately $15 million of debt outstanding.
2021 Guidance
908 Devices continues to expect full year 2021 revenue to be in the range of $38 million to $40 million, representing 41% to 49% growth over full year 2020.
