The company cut operating expenses to $43.1 million from $57.4 million, shrinking the operating loss to $41.1 million.

Profitability metrics improved. The company generated a $2.0 million gross profit with a 3.4% margin, versus a $6.9 million gross loss and -10.1% margin a year ago, helped by lower cost of goods sold per pound. Loss from operations narrowed to $41.1 million from $64.4 million, and net loss shrank to $28.5 million (or $0.06 per share) from $61.1 million (or $0.80 per share).
Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $27.8 million, or -47.7% of net revenues, versus a $50.5 million loss, or -73.5%, a year earlier, reflecting lower operating expenses and higher gross profit.
