Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Total revenue in the third quarter of 2025 was $22.6 million, a 31% increase from $17.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by continued commercial traction, resulting from expansion into new accounts and continued adoption within the company's active account base. Product revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $17.0 million, representing an increase of 28% from $13.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. Subscription revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $5.6 million, representing an increase of 44% from $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2024.

Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were $34.6 million, compared to $24.9 million for the third quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 39%. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to investments in the company's commercial organization, increased headcount to support the growth of the business, legal expenses, and expenses related to operating as a public company.
