Selling expenses were kEUR 2,035 for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to kEUR 1,680 in the fourth quarter of 2020 and therefore significantly increased, which was in line with the increase in revenues. Shipping and packaging expenses as a main driver of the selling expenses could vary from quarter to quarter depending on quantity and types of products, as well as the destinations where those goods are being delivered.
Administrative expenses were kEUR 1,572 for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to kEUR 1,713 in the fourth quarter of 2020 and therefore slightly decreased. This was mainly due to lower personnel expenses related to a lower number of employees in these department.
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses decreased to kEUR 1,377 in the fourth quarter of 2021 from kEUR 1,763 in the fourth quarter of 2020. These expenses are usually driven by individual projects, especially through the consumption of material as well as the demand of external services and may differ on a quarter to quarter comparison. The quarter over quarter decrease was mainly due to lower material expenses as well as lower labor costs related to a lower number of employees supporting in various existing and future research and development projects. This was partially offset by higher expenses for external services.
Other operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021 were kEUR 132 compared to kEUR 841 in the prior year period. This was mainly related to lower losses from foreign currency transactions, amounting to kEUR 59 for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to kEUR 686 in the last year’s fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2021, an amount of kEUR 25 was recorded in other operating expenses, related to the fully write off of the investment in the joint venture
Other operating income was kEUR 767 for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to kEUR 345 in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly due to higher gains from foreign currency transactions, amounting to kEUR 490 compared to kEUR 360 in the last year’s fourth quarter. Furthermore, the increase in other operating income is due to cost reimbursement (kEUR 110) and the receipt of government grant (kEUR 59) for R&D expenses incurred in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The changes in foreign currency losses and gains were primarily driven by the valuation of the intercompany loans granted by the parent company to our US subsidiary.
Operating loss was kEUR 791 in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to an operating loss of kEUR 2,674 in the comparative period in 2020. The improvement was mainly due to a positive net impact of the quarter over quarter changes in other operating expenses and other operating income amounting to kEUR 1,131. In addition, gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased by kEUR 600 compared to last year’s fourth quarter. Further, research and development expenses as well as administrative expenses declined by kEUR 386 and kEUR 141, respectively. This was partially offset by higher operating expenses from our functions sales and marketing showing an quarter over quarter increase of kEUR 355.
Financial result was positive kEUR 1,955 in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to a negative financial result of kEUR 1,286 in the comparative period in 2020. This was mainly due to a finance income related to the revaluation of derivative financial instruments, amounting to kEUR 2,693 in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to a finance expense of kEUR 807 in the last year’s same period. The derivative financial instruments are related to a Performance Participation Interest (PPI) for the first (tranche A) and second tranche (tranche B1) of the loan granted by the
