Second Quarter 2019 Financial Discussion

Total revenue in the second quarter of 2019 increased 67%, to a record $3.8 million, compared to $2.3 million, in the second quarter of 2018. The revenue increase was driven primarily by a higher net revenue margin associated with two new subscription tiers launched in the second quarter, while rental days were flatter and grew to approximately 140,000 during the second quarter and are now at an annualized run rate of over 550,000 rental days.

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2019 increased to a record $2.3 million, or 60.8% of revenues, compared to $1.08 million, or 47.3% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2018. Margin expansion was driven by a higher average net revenue margin and a reduced cost of insurance in the second quarter.
