: Net revenue was $24.0 million for the six months ended June 30,2024, a 106 % increase from last year, driven primarily by increases in the number of patients on therapy.
Cost of goods sold
remained relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2023. Cost of goods sold increased by $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2023. The slight increase was attributable to higher product sales, partially offset by favorable product mix driven by higher sales of products with lower cost of goods sold.
Research and development (R&D) expenses
decreased slightly by $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For six months ended June 30, 2024, R&D increased by $2.7 million primarily due to higher spending for our pipeline and personnel related expenses.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
increased by $2.4 million and $7.1 million for the three and six months ended 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2023, due to higher personnel costs.
Net Loss
for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $15.0 million, or $0.10 per share, and a net loss of $34.0 million, or $0.24 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments
at June 30, 2024 was $77.6 million compared to $72.5 million at December 31, 2023. Total shares outstanding at July 31, 2024 was 148,998,825.
