Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

 

Revenue was $15.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, a 177% increase over the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by our handheld revenue that increased $8.2 million or 262% mainly related to shipments to the US Army under our multi-year purchase order. Desktop revenue grew 53% year over year because of both increased device sales and increased recurring revenue.

 

The install base grew to 1,935 placements with 221 devices placed in Q4 2021. The increase in devices was driven primarily by continued adoption of our handheld devices.
