Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue was $83.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $72.9 million for the prior quarter and $48.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase over prior quarter was driven by continued U.S. commercial expansion and new product introductions.

Gross margin was 90.1% for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 92.4% for the same period in the prior year, modestly lower primarily due to the move to our larger production facility in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $73.2 million, compared to $37.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly driven by an increase in personnel-related expenses as we increased headcount to fund the expansion of the commercial, research and development, and clinical and support organizations.

Net income was $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and net income per share was $0.02 on a weighted-average basic share count of 50.2 million and $0.02 on a weighted average diluted share count of 55.6 million, compared to a net income of $7.0 million and a net income per share of $0.14 and $0.13 on a weighted-average basic share count of 48.7 million and diluted share count of 55.2 million, respectively, in the same period of the prior year.

Full Year 2021 Financial Results
