Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenue was $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a 7% decrease from $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. These results were primarily driven by the China lockdown due to the re-emergence of Covid-19, overall economic slowness and inflationary challenges in both the U.S. and Europe, and our own reorganization and RIF, which, while proving to be effective, took time to execute and process.
Gross margin was 52% for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to 53% for the corresponding prior year period.
Total operating expenses were $26.4 million for the second quarter of 2022, which included restructuring expenses of $3.7 million. Excluding the restructuring expenses of $3.7 million, non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses (representing operating expenses less restructuring expenses) of $22.8 million were $7.9 million or, 26% lower than the first quarter 2022 as we streamlined our commercial and operational structure to support sustainable growth.
Operating loss was $24.4 million for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $18.4 million for the corresponding prior year period.
Net loss was $25.6 million for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to a net loss of $20.6 million for the corresponding prior year period.
Cash was $71.6 million as of June 30, 2022.
2022 Guidance
IsoPlexis now expects full year 2022 revenue to reflect at least a 20% increase over full year 2021, or $20.7 million.
