908 Devices Inc. (MASS) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Transcript
Revenue from continuing operations $13 million, an increase of 14% over the prior year period. Growth was driven by strong device sales with mass spec devices accounting for roughly 60% of revenue and FKR products making up the other 40%.
Adjusted EBITDA loss $3.9 million for the quarter, an improvement of more than 45% year-over-year compared to Q2 2024. The improvement was due to cost reduction initiatives and operational efficiencies.
Handheld product and service revenue $12.5 million for Q2 2025, up 13% from $11.1 million in Q2 2024. The increase was driven by higher device shipments (164 devices in Q2 2025 compared to 143 in Q2 2024).
Recurring revenue $4.7 million, a 28% or $1 million increase over the prior year period. This was largely driven by service revenues and accessories, including software quantification modules for XplorIR and Aero modules for MX908.
Gross profit $6.4 million for Q2 2025 compared to $6.2 million for the prior year period. Gross margin was 49% for Q2 2025 compared to 54% for the prior year period. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by intangible amortization from the RedWave acquisition, restructuring charges, and an increase in warranty costs.
Adjusted gross profit $7.3 million for Q2 2025 compared to $6.7 million for the prior year period. Adjusted gross margin was 56%, a decrease of approximately 220 basis points compared to the prior year period, driven by an increase in warranty costs.
Total operating expenses $21.5 million for Q2 2025 compared to $14.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by a $6.8 million noncash charge for the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, $1 million in facility shutdown and restructuring charges, and increased expenses related to the RedWave Technology acquisition.
Net loss from continuing operations $12.9 million for Q2 2025 compared to $7.6 million in the prior year period. The increase was largely driven by the noncash charge and other factors, partially offset by $1.2 million of income from the transition services agreement with REPLIGEN.
