Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, Financial Results
Our commercial revenue, which excludes BARDA revenue, was $15.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $4.4 million or 39%, compared to $11.3 million in the corresponding period in the prior year. Total revenue, which includes BARDA revenue, was $15.9 million in the current year compared to $19.1 million in the corresponding period in the prior year which included $7.7 million in BARDA related revenue that resulted from our delivery of units to managed inventory for BARDA for emergency response preparedness. The growth in commercial revenues was largely driven by an increase in the number of customers ordering as well as the average order size for those customers.
Gross profit margin improved by 2% to 80% compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.
Total operating expenses increased by 12% to $29.9 million compared to $26.6 million in the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to higher compensation costs and professional fees, partially offset by lower clinical trial related expenses. Higher compensation costs were primarily a result of increased share-based compensation expenses due to certain performance milestones being met, higher commissions driven by an increase in revenues, and an expansion of our commercial team. Increased professional fees were driven by an increase in pre-commercialization costs for RECELL launches in soft tissue reconstruction and vitiligo. Research and development expenses were lower relative to the prior year during which higher costs were incurred relating to recruitment and treatment for the soft tissue and vitiligo clinical trials.
Net loss increased by 47% or $5.0 million to $15.7 million, or $0.63 per share, compared to a net loss of $10.7 million, or $0.45 per share, in the corresponding period of the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA* loss increased by 46%, or $3.5 million to $11.1 million, over the $7.6 million recognized in the corresponding period in the prior year. A table reconciling non-GAAP measures is included in this press release for reference.
Calendar Year 2022 Revenue Guidance
Commercial revenues in calendar year 2022 are projected to be approximately $30 million, excluding BARDA revenues, which represents a 20% increase year-over year. We project BARDA revenues of approximately $0.3 million in calendar year 2022, as compared to $7.9 million in calendar year 2021, since we completed delivery of RECELL units into the national stockpile in 2021.
*Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the appendix to this release for a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation to the most closely correlated GAAP measure.
