The company’s financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2022, are not yet available. Accordingly, the information presented below reflects the company’s estimates and expectations for the three months ended September 30, 2022, subject to the completion of its financial close process. As a result, these estimates may differ from the actual results that will be reflected in the company’s financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2022, when they are issued. These estimates may change. These estimates are not meant to be a comprehensive statement of the company’s financial position and results for this period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the company’s preliminary estimated revenue was $37.4 million, as compared to $24.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $12.7 million or 51% compared to three months ended September 30, 2021. The company’s preliminary estimated gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was between $27.8 million and $28.2 million, compared to $18.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

The company’s estimated gross margin for the third quarter of 2022 increased in comparison to the second quarter of 2022 due to a benefit associated with a standard cost revaluation in the third quarter of 2022.
