We are taking measures designed to stabilize and improve our revenue trajectory, and we plan to implement additional initiatives to support this critical goal during the second half of 2019 and into 2020. These initiatives include a commitment to developing new products, further development and expansion of marketing programs, and continued pursuit of operational improvements intended to assist us in our overall commercial performance.”
Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Second quarter 2019 revenue was $15.3 million, compared to $18.7 million for the same period in 2018. This decrease was due primarily to reduced demand for hardware products, which was due in part to effects from the December 2018 recall of the Calix Lumbar Spine Implant System, the termination of an advisory agreement with an entity that provided services to certain customers, and transition of independent sales agents.
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2019 was 64.9%, compared to 66.6% for the same period in 2018. The year-over-year decrease was attributed primarily to inventory reserving and manufacturing overhead absorption.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were $10.5 million, compared to $14.7 million for the second quarter of 2018, a decrease of 29.0%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower sales commissions and travel expenses, restructuring expenses incurred last year, and a decrease in amortization expense related to the impairment of intangible assets that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Second quarter 2019 net loss was $1.9 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to second quarter 2018 net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.38 per share.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2019 was $1.2 million compared to $0.8 million for the same period of 2018. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income/loss from operations before depreciation, amortization and interest expense, and as further adjusted to add back in or exclude, as applicable, non-cash special charges, provision for losses on inventory and accounts receivable, non-cash compensation, changes in warrant derivative liability, field action expenses, separation related expenses, litigation reserves, and restructuring expenses. A calculation and reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to net loss can be found in the attached financial tables.
