Total net revenues increased $0.9 million, or 13.2%, for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Novel Therapies net revenues grew by 259.9% in the fourth quarter of 2022 driven by significant progress related to a non-recurring engineering (NRE) innovation services agreement and revenues in support of ongoing clinical trials. Domestic Core growth of 6.2% was driven by growth in Freedom Edge pumps to support prefilled syringe adoption and increases in average selling prices, offset by store consolidations in a large specialty pharmacy account and the impact of lower SCIg script volumes in the third quarter of 2022. International Core net revenues were lower by 3.2% driven by prior year timing of orders from two distributors, partially offset by new distributor revenue growth in Germany and growth in other markets related to new label indications.

Gross profit increased $0.2 million or 6.4% in the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. This increase in gross profit was primarily driven by the increase in net revenues of $0.9 million, as described above. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 55.5% compared to 59.0% from the fourth quarter of 2021. The decline in the gross profit as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to higher year on year manufacturing costs associated with labor and materials, and expenses related to our manufacturing transition as we prepare to exit our Chester facility and complete the transition to our Mahwah facility and outsourced manufacturing organization. Offsetting these increases was a higher margin for Novel Therapies NRE service revenue mix and an increase in Core average selling price and product mix.

Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $6.6 million, compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to innovation investments in research and development.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $2.0 million, or $(0.04) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or ($0.02) per diluted share for the same period of 2021. Net loss included a tax benefit of $0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Total net revenues increased $4.4 million, or 18.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared with the same period last year. Double-digit revenue growth was achieved in our Domestic Core and Novel Therapies businesses. Domestic Core growth was primarily driven by increased volume attributed to SCIg market growth and new label indications, including prefilled syringes, and increases in average selling prices. Novel Therapies revenues grew by 329.8% for the year ended 2022 related to services performed on an NRE innovation development agreement for a pharmaceutical customer and increases in clinical trial product sales for several pharmaceutical customers. Revenues growth in our International Core business was driven by volume growth in several EU markets compared with prior year.

Gross profit increased $1.6 million or 11.6% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Gross profit as a percent of revenues decreased to 55.1% compared to 58.6% from the prior year. The decline in the gross profit as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to higher manufacturing costs associated with labor and materials, and expenses related to our manufacturing transition as we prepare to exit our Chester facility to complete the transition to our Mahwah facility and outsourced manufacturing organization, and a lower Novel Therapies service revenue margin. Partially offsetting these declines was an increase in core average selling price and product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.7 million, or 15.4%, during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to $2.5 million in investments for new hires in commercial for Domestic Core and Novel Therapies businesses, as well as quality and regulatory to support our strategic growth initiatives.

Research and development expenses increased $2.5 million, or 100.4%, during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared with the same period last year primarily due to new product development initiatives.

Net loss for the full year 2022 was $8.6 million, or $(0.19) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.6 million, or ($0.10) per diluted share for the same period of 2021. Net loss included a tax benefit of $2.0 million for the full year 2022.

Cash and cash equivalents were $17.4 million as of December 31, 2022.

Reorganization Charges. We have excluded the effect of reorganization charges in calculating our non-GAAP measures. In 2021 we incurred significant expenses in connection with the departure and replacement of our chief executive officer and the recruiting of two new board members, which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part of our continuing operations. In 2022 we incurred further severance expense related to the reorganization of the leadership team and the departure of our chief financial officer, which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part of continuing operations.

Manufacturing Initiative Expenses. We have excluded the effect of expenses related to creating manufacturing efficiencies, in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We incurred expenses in connection with these initiatives which we would not have otherwise incurred in periods presented as part of our continuing operations. We expect to incur related expenses for the next three to six months.

Stock-based Compensation Expense. We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expense in calculating our non-GAAP measures. We record non-cash compensation expense related to grants of options and restricted shares for executives, employees and consultants, and grants of shares to our board of directors. Depending upon the size, timing and the terms of the grants, the non-cash compensation expense may vary significantly but will recur in future periods.
