Revenue for the second quarter of 2019 totaled $6.2 million compared to $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase in revenue was due to higher subscription and service revenue.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2019 totaled $12.1 million compared to $11.5 million in the same quarter a year-ago. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to routine annual compensation adjustments for employees.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2019 totaled $8.2 million compared to $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. The lower operating loss was primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher operating expenses.

At quarter-end, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $50.0 million, compared to $37.5 million at March 31, 2019.
