Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 8.8% quarter-over-quarter (Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024) and 14.0% year-to-date. Product revenue grew 13.5% in Q2, driven by higher selling prices of the iQ3 probe and semiconductor chip deliveries to partners, partially offset by lower US probe volume.
• Margin Expansion: Gross margin improved to 63.7% in Q2 2025 from 58.6% in Q2 2024, attributed to manufacturing efficiencies and higher average selling prices.
• Expense Management:
  • R&D: Decreased 11.6% QoQ due to personnel cost reductions from a 2024 business transformation initiative.
  • Sales & Marketing: Increased 18.8% QoQ due to investments in the sales force and marketing functions.
  • Other Expenses: Increased 227.9% QoQ to $2.0 million, primarily due to $0.9 million in litigation costs and $0.5 million in employment-related costs (severance/restructuring).
• Liquidity Event: In January 2025, the company completed a public offering of 27.6 million shares, raising $81.0 million in net proceeds. This significantly bolstered cash reserves from $88.8 million at year-end 2024 to $148.1 million at June 30, 2025.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Guidance: Management expects existing cash and operating cash flows to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. No specific numerical revenue guidance was provided in this filing.
• Strategic Focus: The company continues to invest in commercial capabilities to drive adoption at large-scale healthcare systems. They aim to shift revenue mix toward software and services over time, though the mix decreased slightly to 28.9% in Q2 2025 due to strong hardware sales.
• Risks and Contingencies:
  • Litigation: The company is defending against a putative class action lawsuit (Rose v. Butterfly Network, Inc.) and two stockholder derivative actions regarding financial disclosures and internal controls. Management cannot estimate potential losses but intends to vigorously defend these actions.
  • Regulatory & Market: Risks include the ability to maintain regulatory authorizations, competition from larger firms, and potential impacts of tariffs or economic downturns.
• Unusual Items: The "Other" expense line includes non-recurring costs related to business transformation, reductions in force, and legal settlements, which management states are not representative of ongoing operations.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Cash Runway: Verify the sustainability of the $148.1 million cash balance against the current burn rate (approx. $7.1 million cash used in operations for Q2 2025).
• Revenue Mix: Monitor the trend of software and services revenue (currently 28.9% of total) to assess long-term margin potential as hardware sales fluctuate.
• Litigation Exposure: Review updates on the Rose class action and derivative suits to assess potential financial impact on future quarters.
• Unit Fulfillment: Note that units fulfilled decreased 5.1% QoQ; verify if this trend stabilizes as the iQ3 launch anniversary effects subside.
• Warrant Liabilities: Monitor the fair value of outstanding warrants (Public and Private), which fluctuate with stock price and impact net income.
