CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that relate to future events or our future financial performance regarding, among other things, our plans, strategies, and prospects, both business and financial. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management team. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events, or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:
These statements may be preceded by, followed by, or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates,” “intends,” similar expressions or phrases, or the negative of those expressions or phrases. The forward-looking statements are based on projections prepared by, and are the responsibility of, our management. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions, or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions relating to, among other things:
These and other risks and uncertainties are described in greater detail under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in other filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The risks described under the caption “Risk Factors” are not exhaustive. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. We undertake no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
The Company is an innovative digital health business transforming care with hand-held, whole-body ultrasound. Powered by its proprietary Ultrasound-on-Chip™ technology, the Company’s solution enables the acquisition of imaging information from an affordable, powerful device that fits in a healthcare professional’s pocket with a combination of cloud-connected software and hardware technology that is easily accessed through a mobile app.
The Company was incorporated in Delaware on February 4, 2020 as Longview Acquisition Corp. (“Longview”). Following a business combination between the Company and BFLY Operations, Inc. (formerly Butterfly Network, Inc.) on February 12, 2021 (the “Business Combination”), the Company’s legal name became Butterfly Network, Inc.
The Company operates wholly-owned subsidiaries in Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.
The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities in each year since inception, and we expect to continue to incur losses for at least the next few years. The Company expects its cash and cash equivalents of $93.8 million at September 30, 2024 will be sufficient to fund operations and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. We may need to satisfy our future cash needs through the sale of equity securities, debt financings, working capital lines of credit or partnerships, or a combination of one or more of these sources.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the accounting disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures, including certain notes, required by U.S. GAAP for annual reporting.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, the year ending December 31, 2024, or any other period.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2024, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were invested in money market accounts with one financial institution. The Company also maintains balances in various operating accounts above federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk of its cash and cash equivalents.
As of September 30, 2024 one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivables. As of December 31, 2023, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable. No customer
accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Segment Reporting
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), its Chief Executive Officer, reviews the Company’s financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating its financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates as a single reportable segment. Substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States. Since the Company operates as a single reporting segment, all required segment reporting disclosures can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The Company makes estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and assumptions.
The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions about future events. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to the Company’s use of estimates as described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Operating Expenses – Other
The Company classifies certain operating expenses that are not representative of the Company’s ongoing operations as other on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. These include costs related to the Company’s reductions in force, global workforce optimization, litigation, and legal settlements. The following table summarizes the types of expenses classified as other in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (in thousands):
Employment-related expenses

Total other
On July 1, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party global technology and business transformation partner to optimize and lower the cost of certain non-specialized technical functions. As part of the transition into this new partnership, a portion of the Company's workforce will be in lower-cost geographies. The Company estimates it will incur approximately $1.0 million of severance costs for impacted employees that continue providing transition services to the Company through February 2025. These costs were recognized as other in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, a total of $1.0 million of accrued severance related to our global workforce optimization is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which introduced new guidance on disclosures for reportable segments and significant segment expenses, including for entities with a single reportable segment. This guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
9
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which introduced new guidance on disclosures for income taxes, including enhancements to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. This guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Note 3. Revenue Recognition
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by product type and by geographical market. The Company believes that these categories aggregate the payor types by nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue streams. The following table summarizes the Company’s disaggregated revenue (in thousands):

Contract Balances
Contract balances represent amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets when the Company has either transferred goods or services to the customer or the customer has paid consideration to the Company under the contract. These contract balances include trade accounts receivable and deferred revenue. The Company recognizes a receivable when it has an unconditional right to payment, and payment terms are typically 30 days for sales on credit of product, software, and other services. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.4 million and $1.8 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $5.7 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $14.3 million and $15.2 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period.
Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $33.0 million and $32.0 million, respectively, of remaining performance obligations. As of September 30, 2024, the Company expects to recognize 61% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue in the next twelve months and an additional 39% thereafter.
Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value.
The Company measures fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The Company utilizes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term or on-demand nature of these instruments.
There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the periods ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The Company’s outstanding warrants include publicly traded warrants (the “Public Warrants”) which were issued as one-third of a warrant per unit during Longview’s initial public offering and warrants sold in a private placement to Longview’s sponsor (the “Private Warrants”). As of September 30, 2024, there were an aggregate of 13,799,357 and 6,853,333 outstanding Public Warrants and Private Warrants, respectively. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment per the warrant agreements. The warrants will expire on February 12, 2026 or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company recognizes the change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the number of exercises and the amount reclassified into equity upon the exercise of the Public Warrants and Private Warrants were not significant.
The Company measures its Public Warrants using Level 1 fair value inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for the Public Warrants. Because any transfer of Private Warrants from the initial holder of the Private Warrants would result in the Private Warrants having substantially the same terms as the Public Warrants, management determined that the fair value of each Private Warrant is the same as that of a Public Warrant. Accordingly, the Company measures its Private Warrants using Level 2 fair value inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for the Public Warrants.

Restricted cash included within prepaid expenses and other current assets is restricted by an agreement with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (“Gates Foundation”). The restriction on these funds lapses as the Company fulfills its obligations in the agreement. Restricted cash included within other non-current assets is held as collateral to secure a letter of credit for one of our office leases and is expected to be maintained as a security deposit throughout the duration of the lease.

Note 9. Stock-Based Compensation
Equity Incentive Plans
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no significant changes to the Company’s 2012 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “2012 Plan”) and the Company’s Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). On January 1, 2024, pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Plan,
13
the number of shares reserved for issuance was increased automatically by 4% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock as of January 1, 2024.
Stock Option Activity
The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s outstanding stock options:

Generally, each award vests based on continued service per the award agreement. The grant date fair value of the award is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period. The grant date fair value was determined using similar methods and assumptions as those previously disclosed by the Company.
Restricted Stock Unit Activity
The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”):

15,320,083
Vested
(5,335,727)
(2,801,651)
22,752,688
Generally, each award vests based on continued service per the award agreement. The grant date fair value of the award is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period. The grant date fair value was determined based on the fair market value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date.
Included in the table above are market-based RSUs granted in 2023 and 2024 that include a service condition. The market-based conditions for these awards are objective metrics related to the Company’s stock price defined in the award agreement. The service condition for these awards is satisfied by providing service to the Company through the achievement date of the market-based conditions. The grant date fair value of the awards is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the derived service period. The grant date fair value and derived service period were determined by using a Monte Carlo simulation with similar risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield, and expected volatility assumptions as those used by the Company for determining the grant date fair value of its stock options.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s 2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) was approved by the Board and the Company’s stockholders in the second quarter of 2024, with 4.2 million shares of common stock initially reserved and available for issuance. Under the ESPP, each eligible employee is granted an option to purchase shares of common stock, with the purchase price paid through payroll deductions, subject to the plan’s limitations on the number and value of shares purchasable. Each offering period under the ESPP has an expected duration of 24 months, divided into four six-month purchase periods, with purchases occurring in June and December. The purchase price per share is equal to the lower of 85% of the closing market price on the first day of the offering period, or 85% of the closing market price on the applicable purchase date. Proceeds received from the issuance of shares are credited to stockholders’ equity in the period that the shares are issued. The grant date fair value of the awards is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period. The grant date fair value was determined using similar methods and assumptions as those used
14
for the Company’s stock option awards granted under its equity incentive plans. As of September 30, 2024, no shares of common stock have been issued under the ESPP.

Note 10. Net Loss Per Share
We compute net loss per share of Class A and Class B common stock using the two-class method. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of each class of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of the Company’s common stock, including those presented in the table below, to the extent dilutive. Basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for each period presented as the inclusion of all potential shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.
As the Company uses the two-class method required for companies with multiple classes of common stock, the following tables present the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for each class of the Company’s common stock outstanding (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):
Common Stock
Numerator:
Allocation of undistributed earnings

(6,809)
184,682,855
(78,017)
(11,562)
178,322,171
For the periods presented above, the net loss per share amounts are the same for Class A and Class B common stock because the holders of each class are entitled to equal per share dividends or distributions in liquidation in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation. The undistributed earnings for each year are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A and Class B common stock as if the earnings for the year had been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis.

Note 11. 401(k) Retirement Plan
The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering all eligible U.S. employees. Contributions to the 401(k) plan are discretionary. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, expenses for matching 401(k) contributions were $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, expenses for matching 401(k) contributions were $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
Leases:
The Company primarily enters into leases for office space that are classified as operating leases. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, total lease cost was $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, total lease cost was $2.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Total lease cost was primarily composed of operating lease costs.
Purchase Commitments:
The Company enters into inventory purchase commitments with third-party manufacturers in the ordinary course of business, including a non-cancellable inventory supply agreement with a certain third-party manufacturing vendor. The provisions of the agreement allowed the Company, once it reached a certain cumulative purchase threshold in the fourth quarter of 2021, to pay for a portion of the subsequent inventory purchases using an advance previously paid to the vendor. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of minimum inventory purchase commitments is $8.6 million, and the Company has a vendor advance asset of $1.8 million, net of write-downs, and an accrued purchase commitment liability of $0.1 million related to the agreement. The portion of the balances that is expected to be utilized in the next 12 months is included in current assets and current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company applied the guidance in Topic 330, Inventory to assess the purchase commitment and related loss, using such factors as Company-specific forecasts which are reliant on the Company’s limited sales history, agreement-specific provisions, macroeconomic factors, and market and industry trends. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not recognize any additions to the accrued purchase commitment liability, or any related losses, based on its purchase commitment assessment as there were no significant changes to the assessment factors.
The Company reviews its inventory on hand, including inventory acquired under the purchase commitments, for excess and obsolescence (“E&O”) on a quarterly basis. Any E&O inventory acquired that was previously accounted for as a purchase commitment liability accrual or vendor advance write down is recorded at zero value. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not acquire a significant amount of such E&O inventory. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company utilized $0.3 million of the accrued purchase commitment liability and $0.3 million of the vendor advance that was previously written down to acquire such E&O inventory. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company utilized $1.9 million of the accrued purchase commitment liability and $4.8 million of the vendor advance that was previously written down to acquire such E&O inventory.
Contingencies
The Company is involved in litigation and legal matters from time to time, which have arisen in the normal course of business. Although the ultimate results of these matters are not currently determinable, management does not expect that they will have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or statements of cash flows. The Company accrues an estimated liability for legal contingencies when the Company considers a potential loss probable and can reasonably estimate the amount of the potential loss.
On February 16, 2022, a putative class action lawsuit, styled Rose v. Butterfly Network, Inc., et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The claims are against the Company and certain of its directors and previous management as well as Longview and members of its then board of directors, alleging that the defendants made false and misleading statements and/or omissions about its post-Business Combination business and financial prospects. The alleged class consists of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s stock between January 12, 2021 and November 15, 2021, persons who exchanged Longview shares for the Company’s common stock, and persons who purchased Longview stock pursuant, or traceable to, the Proxy/Registration Statement filed with the SEC on November 27, 2020 or any amendment thereto. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this action. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, together with interest thereon, as well as the costs and expenses of litigation. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the defense of the litigation or that insurance will be available or
adequate to fund any potential settlement or judgment or the litigation costs of the action. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss at this time.
On June 21, 2022, a stockholder derivative action, styled Koenig v. Todd M. Fruchterman, et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against the Company’s board of directors and the Company as nominal defendant. On November 28, 2023, a stockholder derivative action, styled Bhavsar v. Todd M. Fruchterman, et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against the board of directors and the Company as nominal defendant. Both these actions allege violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, and claims for breach of fiduciary duty, contribution and indemnification, aiding and abetting, and gross mismanagement. The lawsuits are premised upon allegedly inadequate internal controls and purportedly misleading representations regarding the Company’s financial condition, business prospects, and the Company’s November 2021 earnings announcement. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these actions. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, disgorgement, and restitution, together with interest thereon, as well as the costs and expenses of litigation. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the defense of the litigation or that insurance will be available or adequate to fund any potential settlement or judgment or the litigation costs of the action. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss at this time.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are an innovative digital health business transforming care through a unique combination of portable, semiconductor-based ultrasound technology, intuitive software, services and educational offerings that can make medical imaging more accessible than ever before. Butterfly’s solution enables the practical application of ultrasound information into the clinical workflow through affordable hardware that fits in a healthcare professional’s pocket and is paired with cloud-connected software that is easily accessed through a mobile application.
Butterfly iQ+ and iQ3 are ultrasound devices that can perform whole-body imaging in a single handheld probe using semiconductor technology. Our Ultrasound-on-Chip™ makes ultrasound more accessible outside of large healthcare institutions, while our software is intended to make the product easy to use, fully integrated with the clinical workflow, and accessible on a user’s smartphone, tablet, and almost any hospital computer system connected to the Internet. We aim to enable the delivery of imaging information anywhere at point-of-care to drive earlier detection throughout the body and remote management of health conditions. We market and sell the Butterfly system, which includes probes, related accessories, and software subscriptions, to healthcare systems, physicians, and healthcare providers through a direct sales force, distributors, and our eCommerce channel.
Since 2022, we have taken significant actions to reduce our cost of operations and extend our cash runway and have reduced our annual cash requirements by approximately $180 million, to less than $50 million annually. As such, we conservatively expect our cash to last into 2027. As we look forward, we expect to continue to invest in our business in order to grow revenue. Before we reach 2027, we may need to raise capital in order to reach profitability. We will first seek nondilutive capital in the form of licensing, grants, or debt and then potentially in the form of equity securities.
Key Performance Measures
We review the key performance measures discussed below to evaluate the business and measure performance, identify trends, formulate plans, and make strategic decisions. Our key performance measures may fluctuate over time as the adoption of our devices increases, which may shift the revenue mix more toward software and other services. The quarterly metrics may be impacted by the timing of device sales.
Units fulfilled
We define units fulfilled as the number of devices whereby control is transferred to a customer. We do not adjust this measure for returns as our volume of returns has historically been low. We view units fulfilled as a key indicator of the growth of our business. We believe that this metric is useful to investors because it presents our core growth and the performance of our business period over period.
Units fulfilled increased by 1,249 units, or 36.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was led by international where distributor volume more than quadrupled year-over-year from the onboarding of several new distribution territories in the current year. In the U.S., volume increased across all sales channels.
Software and other services mix
We define software and other services mix as a percentage of our total revenue recognized in a reporting period that is based on software subscriptions and other related services, consisting primarily of our software as a service (“SaaS”) offering. We view software and other services mix as a key indicator of the profitability of our business, and thus we believe that this measure is useful to investors.
Software and other services mix decreased by 9.0 percentage points, to 34.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Although our software and other services revenue increased in the current year, our software and other services mix decreased due to the even larger increase in product revenue realized in the current year.

Description of Certain Components of Financial Data
Revenue
Revenue consists of revenue from the sale of products, such as medical devices and accessories, and the sale of software and related services, classified as software and other services revenue on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, which are SaaS subscriptions and product support and maintenance (“Support”). SaaS subscriptions include licenses for teams and individuals as well as enterprise-level subscriptions. For sales of products, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer. SaaS subscriptions and Support are generally related to stand-ready obligations and are recognized ratably over time.
Over time, as adoption of our devices increases through further market penetration and as practitioners in the Butterfly network continue to use our devices, we expect our annual revenue mix to shift more toward software and other services. The quarterly revenue mix may be impacted by the timing of device sales. In 2024, due to the launch of our next generation iQ3 device, we are expecting our software and other services as a percentage of total revenue to remain flat or decrease.
To date, we have invested heavily in building out our direct salesforce, with the ultimate goal of growing adoption at large-scale healthcare systems. As we expand our healthcare system software offerings and develop relationships with larger healthcare systems, we continue to expect a higher proportion of our sales in healthcare systems compared to eCommerce.
Cost of revenue
Cost of product revenue consists of product costs including manufacturing costs, personnel costs and benefits, inbound freight, packaging, warranty replacement costs, payment processing fees, and inventory obsolescence and write-offs. We expect our cost of product revenue to fluctuate over time due to the level of units fulfilled in any given period and fluctuate as a percentage of product revenue over time as our focus on operational efficiencies in our supply chain may be offset by increased prices of certain inventory components.
Cost of software and other services revenue consists of personnel costs, cloud hosting costs, and payment processing fees. Because the costs and associated expenses to deliver our SaaS offerings are less than the costs and associated expenses of manufacturing and selling our device, we anticipate an improvement in profitability and margin expansion over time as our revenue mix shifts increasingly towards software and other services. We plan to continue to invest additional resources to expand and further develop our SaaS and other service offerings.
Research and development expenses primarily consist of personnel costs and benefits, facilities-related expenses and depreciation, fabrication services, and software costs. Most of our research and development expenses are related to developing new products and services that have not reached the point of commercialization and improving our products and services that have been commercialized. Fabrication services include certain third-party engineering costs, product testing, and test boards. Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. We expect to continue to make substantial investments in our product and software development, clinical, and regulatory capabilities.
Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of personnel costs and benefits, advertising, conferences and events, facilities-related expenses, and software costs. We expect to increase our investments in our sales capabilities.
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel costs and benefits, insurance, patent fees, software costs, facilities-related expenses, and outside services. Outside services consist of professional services, legal fees, and other professional fees.
21
Operating expenses classified as other are expenses which we do not consider representative of our ongoing operations. These other expenses primarily consist of employee severance and benefits costs related to our reductions in force, global workforce optimization, litigation costs, and legal settlements.
Results of Operations
We operate as a single reportable segment to reflect the way our CODM reviews and assesses the performance of the business. The accounting policies are described in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Product revenue increased by $4.8 million, or 54.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily driven by higher product revenue across nearly all of our sales channels, including the impact of the iQ3 probe’s higher selling price as well as an increase in probe sales internationally.
22
Software and other services revenue increased by $0.4 million, or 5.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily driven by higher enterprise software revenue and increased licensing revenue from our Butterfly Garden and Powered by Butterfly partnerships, partially offset by lower renewals of individual subscriptions. Enterprise as a percentage of software revenue increased by approximately 5 percentage points year-over-year.

Product revenue increased by $9.6 million, or 32.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily driven by higher product revenue across nearly all sales channels, including the impact of our iQ3 probe’s higher selling price as well as an increase in probe sales internationally. The increase in product revenue was negatively impacted by two large grant-based deployments to medical schools that occurred in the prior year and did not repeat in 2024. Excluding the prior-year large medical school deployments, product revenue increased 44.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Software and other services revenue increased by $0.7 million, or 3.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

This decrease was primarily driven by reductions of $3.2 million in stock-based compensation expense, $2.7 million in other personnel costs resulting from our reductions in force in the prior year, and $1.3 million in professional service fees for legal services.
(14,209)
(79.6)
Other decreased by $14.2 million, or 79.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by reductions of $7.4 million of employee severance and benefits costs related to our reduction in forces in the prior year and $6.8 million in legal costs due to litigation and other legal matters. These costs are not representative of our ongoing operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, proceeds from the Business Combination, and issuances of preferred stock and convertible notes. Our primary uses of liquidity are operating expenses, working capital requirements, and capital expenditures. The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities in each year since inception, and we expect to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows for a few years as we continue to commercialize existing and new products and services. We expect that our existing cash
25
and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our liquidity, capital expenditure, and anticipated working capital requirements and fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company utilized $8.3 million of cash and cash equivalents. In the third quarter, we paid $0.4 million of legal payments due to litigation and other legal matters. As of September 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $93.8 million. Our future spending on capital resources may vary from those currently planned and will depend on various factors, including our rate of revenue growth and the timing and extent of spending on strategic business initiatives.
As of September 30, 2024, we have restricted cash of $4.0 million to secure a letter of credit for one of our leases, which is expected to be maintained as a security deposit for the duration of the lease.
Our material cash requirements include contractual obligations with third parties for office leases, technology licensing agreements, and inventory supply agreements. Our fixed office lease payment obligations were $28.9 million as of September 30, 2024, with $3.6 million payable within the next 12 months. Our fixed technology license payment obligations were $15.5 million as of September 30, 2024, with $1.5 million payable within the next 12 months. Our fixed purchase obligations for inventory supply agreements were $8.6 million as of September 30, 2024, all of which is payable within the next 12 months and approximately 20% of which we expect to pay using vendor advances.
As of September 30, 2024, we had no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.
Cash flows
The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
Net cash used in operating activities represents the cash receipts and disbursements related to our activities other than investing and financing activities. We expect cash provided by historical financing activities will continue to be our primary source of funds to support operating and capital expenditure needs for the foreseeable future.
Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $47.1 million, or 55.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by reductions of $36.9 million in net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and $10.2 million in net working capital cash usage. The decrease in net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items was primarily driven by a reduction of $35.2 million in net loss. The decrease in net working capital cash usage was primarily driven by reductions of $18.7 million in cash used for changes in our inventory and the related vendor advances and accrued purchase commitments, $1.1 million in cash used for changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and $0.9 million in cash used for changes in deferred revenue. These reductions were partially offset by an $8.9 million increase in cash used for changes in accounts receivable and a $1.7 million decrease in cash provided by changes in our prepaid expenses and other assets.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities decreased by $75.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of our marketable securities in 2023.
26
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We did not have any significant financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, contingent assets and liabilities, and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and these form the basis for making judgments about items that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Company did not identify any significant recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We did not have any floating rate debt as of September 30, 2024. Our cash and cash equivalents are comprised primarily of bank deposits and money market accounts. The primary objective of our investments is the preservation of capital to fulfill liquidity needs. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Due to the short-term nature and low risk profile of these investments, we do not expect cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates, including an immediate change of 100 basis points, or one percentage point. Declines in interest rates, however, would reduce future investment income.
Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations, other than its impact on the general economy. Nonetheless, to the extent our costs are impacted by general inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases or manufacturing efficiencies. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We operate our business primarily within the United States and currently execute the majority of our transactions in U.S. dollars. We have not utilized hedging strategies with respect to such foreign exchange exposure. This limited foreign currency translation risk is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial & Operating Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial & Operating Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
