Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Revenues for the second quarter of 2019 increased 21% to $7.4 million, compared to $6.1 million in the same quarter in 2018. Revenue growth was driven by an increase in WatchPAT sales in the U.S. and Europe as well as an increase in EndoPAT™ sales.

WatchPAT revenues for the second quarter of 2019 increased 16% to $6.5 million, compared to $5.6 million in the same quarter in 2018.

U.S. WatchPAT revenues for the second quarter of 2019 increased 18% to $5.0 million, compared to $4.3 million in the same quarter in 2018.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2019 was $1.7 million, compared to $0.9 million in the same quarter in 2018.
