Adjusted EBITDA Loss: Adjusted EBITDA was a $3.6 million loss compared to $1 million in the prior year period.

Increased Net Loss Analysis: Net loss of $6.9 million increased by $3 million year-over-year, primarily due to lower net revenue, a $1 million impact, reduced gross margin rates, a $1.9 million impact, and a $1 million increase in our income tax provision alongside higher selling and marketing costs.
