Gross profit increased $2.0 million, or 7%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period of 2024 driven primarily by growth in consumable revenue which was partially offset by an increase in restructuring-related charges. See Note 5. Restructuring in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about restructuring activities. Gross margins may be affected by product mix, manufacturing efficiencies, changes in warranty costs, average selling price fluctuations, future product launches, changes to inventory reserves, costs of raw materials and tariffs.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense decreased by $33.0 million, or 31%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in personnel and related expenses, including share-based compensation expense, lower product development costs due to the transition of launched products from development to commercialization, and lower restructuring-related charges. We recorded $2.7 million of restructuring-related charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $5.9 million for the same period of 2024. Research and development expense included share-based compensation expense of $9.0 million and $15.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We recorded $5.5 million of restructuring-related charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $14.4 million for the same period of 2024. Sales, general, and administrative expense included share-based compensation expense of $20.1 million and $35.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
