Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was $352.3 thousand, compared to $390.4 thousand a year ago. The 10% decrease was primarily attributable to decreased services revenue driven by lower advertising, profit share and management fee revenue.

Gross margin in the third quarter of 2022 was 38.4% versus 35.5% in the year-ago quarter. The increase was due to lower revenue from certain services were offset by lower costs.

Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2022 were $1.1 million, up from the $717.3 thousand a year-ago. The increase was due to higher labor costs as a result of the Company filling out required roles for the business, an increase in professional fees from the Company’s Initial Public Offering, and an increase in stock-based compensation partially offset by a decrease in advertising costs.

Net loss in the third quarter of 2022 was $(969.7) thousand, or $(0.31) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(575.8) thousand, or $(0.30) per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. The increase in net loss was due to the reasons cited above.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Summary

At September 30, 2022, the Company had $11.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1.7 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase was mainly a result of raising capital from the sale of common stock units in our initial public offering that closed on August 30, 2022 where we received $12.1 million in net proceeds. Cash used in operating activities increased to $2.4 million, compared to cash used in operating activities of $459.9 thousand a year-ago.
