Performance and Challenges
Inogen Inc (INGN, Financial) reported a 6.1% increase in total revenue for Q2 2024, reaching $88.8 million compared to $83.6 million in Q2 2023. This growth was primarily driven by higher demand and new customers in international and domestic business-to-business (B2B) sales, partially offset by lower direct-to-consumer sales and rental revenue. The company's gross margin also improved significantly to 48.1% from 40.7% in the same period last year, attributed to lower premiums paid for components and favorable adjustments to reserves.
However, the company faced challenges with an 8.7% increase in total operating expenses, which rose to $49.8 million from $45.8 million in Q2 2023. This increase was mainly due to higher personnel-related expenses.

The GAAP net loss for Q2 2024 was $5.6 million, a significant improvement from the GAAP net loss of $9.8 million in Q2 2023.
