Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue was $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, a 52% increase over the three months ended June 30, 2021, and a 107% increase compared to the corresponding prior year period. An increase in handheld shipments, including initial shipments to the US Army under the multi-year purchase order, was primarily responsible for the quarter over quarter and the year over year increases. Desktop revenue grew 72% year over year. More than 40% of the desktop units sold during the quarter were placed at top 20 pharmaceutical companies.
The install base grew to 1,714 placements with 184 devices placed in Q3 2021. The increase in devices was driven primarily by growing adoption of our handheld devices.
Gross profit was $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $3.8 million for the corresponding prior year period. Product and service gross margin was 54%, as compared to 64% for the corresponding prior year period. The decline in product and service gross margin was primarily driven by increased investments in 2021 related to manufacturing and service personnel combined with lighter spend during the third quarter of 2020 related to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Operating expenses were $12.1 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $5.1 million for the corresponding prior year period. This increase was driven by headcount expansion across our business, primarily focused on our commercial organization, and increased expenses related to operating as a public company.
Net loss was $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for the corresponding prior year period. Net loss per share was $0.19 for the third quarter of 2021, compared to a net loss per share of $0.34 for the corresponding prior year period.
Cash and cash equivalents were $139 million as of September 30, 2021. In addition, the Company has approximately $15 million of debt outstanding.
2021 Guidance
908 Devices now expects full year 2021 revenue to be in the range of $41 million to $43 million, representing 52% to 60% growth over full year 2020. This compares to the previously expected revenue range of $40 million to $43 million.
