Management Discussion
- Subscription revenue increased $13.0 million, or 25%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a 20% growth in total subscriptions and a 25% growth in Paying Circles (as defined below).
- Hardware revenue increased $0.3 million, or 3%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to $2.3 million in fewer discounts offered which was partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in returns and a $0.8 million decrease in revenue from retail sales related to a shift in product mix. The $0.3 million increase in hardware revenue is in line with the slight increase in net average selling price and an overall flat number of net hardware units shipped.
- Other revenue increased $0.8 million, or 12%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 due to a ramp-up of advertising revenue and incremental data revenue.
