Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $33.1 million versus $9.7 million during the same period of the prior year, representing 241% growth as reported. U.S. revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $19.8 million in the second full quarter of U.S. commercial availability. International revenue was $13.3 million, representing growth of 37% as reported and 56% in constant currency. The increase in international revenue was primarily attributable to continued adoption of the Senza^® system.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $20.4 million, or 61% gross margin, as compared to $6.7 million, or 69% gross margin, in the same period of the prior year. Gross margins decreased year-over-year primarily as a result of costs incurred in association with building out our operational infrastructure in connection with the U.S. product launch. Additionally, while costs were primarily incurred in U.S. dollars, international revenue was negatively impacted by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar, which negatively impacted the overall gross margin for the period.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $33.5 million, an increase of 143% compared to $13.8 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by increased headcount and related personnel costs.

Loss from operations for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $13.1 million, compared to $7.1 million for the same period of the prior year.

Full Year Financial Results

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased to $69.6 million, from $32.6 million during the prior year, representing 114% growth as reported.

International revenue was $45.3 million, representing growth of 39% as reported and 62% in constant currency. The increase in international revenue was primarily attributable to continued adoption of the Senza^® system.

Gross profit for the year was $41.5 million, or 60% gross margin, as compared to $21.3 million, or 65% gross margin, from the prior year. Gross margins decreased year-over-year primarily as a result of costs incurred in association with building out our operational infrastructure in connection with the U.S. product launch. Additionally, while costs were primarily incurred in U.S. dollars, international revenue was negatively impacted by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar, which negatively impacted the overall gross margin for the period.

Operating expenses for 2015 were $103.9 million, an increase of 109% compared to $49.6 million for the prior year. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by increased headcount and related personnel costs.
