Reports Record Quarterly Revenue
Raises Full Year Adjusted EBITDA Guidance
BURLINGTON, Mass. & NEW YORK: $BFLY #POCUS--Butterfly Network, Inc. (NYSE: BFLY) (“Butterfly” or the “Company”), a digital health company transforming care with portable, semiconductor-based ultrasound technology and intuitive software, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, and provided a business update.
Joseph DeVivo, Butterfly's President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman commented, "Butterfly continues to achieve remarkable milestones driven by the sensational launch of Butterfly iQ3™, setting us up for a standout 2024. Directly following our highest first quarter ever, we’re pleased to report the highest quarterly revenue in Butterfly’s history with second quarter revenue of $21.5 million or 16% growth year over year. Despite facing our toughest comparison quarter of the year, we exceeded our expectations, demonstrating the effectiveness of our strategy and the dedication of our team.
DeVivo continued, "Our strategic initiatives are paying off as we expand our market reach and enhance our technological capabilities. The launch of ScanLab™, paired with a new medical education campus store sales model, is proving to be a game-changer. Medical students are embracing our technology at an unprecedented rate. Additionally, our ongoing AI advancements and new development partnerships are solidifying Butterfly's position as a leader in the ultrasound space. Looking ahead, we are confident in our ability to sustain this momentum and deliver continued value to our shareholders."
Recent Operational Highlights:
Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Financial Results
Revenue: Total revenue was $21.5 million, up 16% from $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2023. U.S. revenue was $14.8 million, up 3% from prior year, driven by our recently launched next-generation iQ3 probe’s higher selling price and increased enterprise software and implementation revenue, but was negatively impacted by two large grant-based deployments to medical schools in the prior year that did not repeat in 2024. Excluding these deployments, US revenue grew 25%. International revenue increased 57% year-over-year to $5.2 million, with volume more than doubling from the onboarding of several new distribution territories. Other revenue contributed $1.5 million.
Gross profit: Gross profit was $12.6 million versus $10.9 million in the prior year period. Gross margin decreased to 58.6% from 59.1% in the prior year period, primarily due to product mix, reflecting a higher proportion of product revenues, and higher amortization which reduced margin by approximately 120 basis points, largely offset by higher average selling prices.
Operating expenses: Operating expenses were $29.8 million, down 29% from $42.2 million in the prior year period, due to previously announced reductions in force, as well as non-payroll spending rationalization across all areas.
Total operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation and Other expense were $23.4 million, compared to $30.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 22%.
Net loss: Net loss was $15.7 million, compared to $28.7 million in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA loss was $8.1 million, compared to $17.0 million in the prior year period.
Adjusted EPS: Adjusted EPS was ($0.05), compared to ($0.08) in the prior year period.
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash: Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were $106.1 million as of June 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing financial measures based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we provide additional financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS. We present non-GAAP financial measures in order to assist readers of our financial statements in understanding the core operating results that our management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning purposes. Our non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial performance over multiple periods.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS are key performance measures that our management uses to assess our operating performance. These non-GAAP measures facilitate internal comparisons of our operating performance on a more consistent basis. We use these performance measures for business planning purposes and forecasting. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS enhance an investor’s understanding of our financial performance as they are useful in assessing our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate these measures in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. When evaluating the Company’s performance, you should consider adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS alongside other financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, including net loss and EPS.
The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. In this press release, we have provided reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS to corresponding GAAP measures are not available on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the non-cash component of employee compensation expense, changes in our working capital needs, variances in our supply chain, the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be reflective, on a recurring basis, of our ongoing operations, and other such items without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
Forward Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results may differ from our expectations, estimates, and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, our expectations with respect to financial results, future performance, commercialization and plans to deploy our products and services, development of products and services, and the size and potential growth of current or future markets for our products and services. Forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to us. These forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside our control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: our ability to grow and manage growth effectively; the success, cost, and timing of our product and service development activities; the potential attributes and benefits of our products and services; the degree to which our products and services are accepted by healthcare practitioners and patients for their approved uses; our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for our products, and any related restrictions and limitations of any approved product; our ability to identify, in-license, or acquire additional technology; our ability to maintain our existing license, manufacturing, supply, and distribution agreements; our ability to compete with other companies currently marketing or engaged in the development of products and services that we are currently marketing or developing; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the size and growth potential of the markets for our products and services, and our ability to serve those markets, either alone or in partnership with others; the pricing of our products and services, and reimbursement for medical procedures conducted using our products and services; our estimates regarding expenses, revenue, capital requirements, and needs for additional financing; our financial performance; our ability to raise financing in the future; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, or in subsequent filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. We caution you not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. We do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertake to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
