First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenue was $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2020. Revenue in the first quarter of 2021 included approximately $1.7 million in EksoHealth revenue and approximately $0.2 million in EksoWorks sales.

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $1.2 million, compared to $0.6 million in the same period in 2020, representing a record gross margin of approximately 65% in the first quarter of 2021, compared to a gross margin for the same period in 2020 of 43%. The overall increase in gross margin is primarily due to higher average selling prices on the Company’s EksoNR devices, an increased proportion of EksoHealth sales, lower production costs of EVO compared to the previous generation vest, and higher service margins.

Sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were $1.8 million, a decrease of $0.7 million, or approximately 29%, compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee compensation, selling, general marketing and trade show expenses.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were $0.6 million, compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2020, a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee compensation and product development activity expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were $2.0 million, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2020, a decrease of $0.2 million, or approximately 10%. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee compensation and outside legal expenses.
