The decrease in total revenue, by region, was driven by a $1.5 million, or 13%, decrease year-over-year in United States revenue and a $0.9 million, or 13%, decrease year-over-year in International revenue. The decrease in total revenue, by product category, was driven primarily by a 58% decrease in lease revenue, partially offset by a 15% increase in products – systems revenue. The percentage of total systems revenue derived from the Company’s internal lease programs (Venus Prime and our legacy subscription model) was approximately 20% in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 41% in the prior year period. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased $1.2 million, or 10%, to $10.9 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to the effects of tighter third-party lending practices which negatively impacted capital equipment sales in both the U.S. and international markets.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased $2.1 million, or 11%, to $17.6 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.

The reduction in fourth quarter of 2024 general and administrative expenses reflects our continued progress in cost containment and streamlining of our operations.

Net loss attributable to stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $8.0 million, or $11.23 per share, compared to net loss of $11.1 million, or $20.14 per share for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other financial performance measures, including net income, and our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently or not at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. We understand that although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for analyzing the performance of our core business because it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by changes in foreign exchange rates that impact financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates), the age and book depreciation of fixed assets (affecting relative depreciation expense), amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense (because it is a non-cash expense) and non-recurring items as explained below.
