Butterfly Network Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

BURLINGTON, Mass. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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 first quarter ended March 31, 2025, and provided a business update.

Joseph DeVivo, Butterfly's President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman commented, “2025 is off to a great start. The Butterfly team hit the mark again, delivering right on target with a 20% growth quarter. We’re very proud of how the Company continues to mature. As we move through the second year of our five-year strategic plan, we are beginning to see the benefits of our multi-pronged growth strategy take shape – furthering our resilience and enabling us to deliver consistent and meaningful results.”

DeVivo continued, “Our results highlight the strength of our opportunities in medical education and enterprise adoption, while marking continued progress across our strategic initiatives, Octiv™ and Butterfly HomeCare. With multiple avenues for growth and a team built to execute, we’re well-positioned to deliver on the guidance we committed, while continuing to advance innovation and uphold our technology leadership.”

Recent Operational and Strategic Highlights:

• Continued Medical Education Momentum: Additional schools committed to student device programs, including one of the United States’ largest Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine ordering one probe per student and committing to this model going forward.
• Butterfly Garden Growth: Two new AI development partners joined this quarter, bringing the portfolio to 23. In April, an existing partner, DESKi, became the second in the portfolio to receive FDA clearance to commercialize its HeartFocus AI-powered cardiac app for clinical use.
• Butterfly HomeCare Progress: The ongoing pilot program ramped up clinical execution, scanning patients with congestive heart failure and those recently discharged. While early, results continue to show no rehospitalizations – a valuable outcome given AHA reports 1 in 4 heart failure patients are historically readmitted within 30 days and nearly 50% within 6 months.
• Mainstream Medical Adoption: Announced Butterfly iQ3 was organically featured in Episodes 12 and 13 of the popular HBO Max medical drama The Pitt, highlighting its growing role in real-life patient care.
• Successful Capital Raise: Public offering closed on January 31, 2025 with $81.7 million of net proceeds, including the shoe. This funding further strengthens Butterfly’s balance sheet and ability to drive innovation to expand access to advanced imaging technology.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Financial Results

Revenue: Total revenue was $21.2 million, up 20% from $17.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. U.S. revenue was $16.6 million, up 24% from prior year, driven by higher sales volume to domestic health systems, the impact of the iQ3 probe’s higher selling price after its launch in 2024, and the delivery of semiconductor chips to one of our newly onboarded partners. International revenue increased 9% year-over-year to $4.6 million, driven by the higher selling price of the iQ3 probe, which launched in new international geographies throughout 2024.

Gross profit: Gross profit was $13.4 million versus $10.3 million in the prior year period. Gross margin increased to 63.0% from 58.2% in the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to the higher average selling prices and higher software margins due to a reduction in software amortization and lower hosting costs.

Operating expenses: Operating expenses were $31.8 million, down 3% from $32.9 million in the prior year period. Total operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation and other expenses were $24.9 million, compared to $26.0 million in the prior year period, representing a decrease of 4%, this was due to lower personnel costs as a result of a prior year business initiative to optimize non-specialized technical functions as well as non-payroll spending rationalization across all areas.

Net loss: Net loss was $14.0 million, compared to $21.8 million in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA loss was $9.1 million, compared to $13.2 million in the prior year period.

Adjusted EPS: Adjusted EPS was $(0.04), compared to $(0.07) in the prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents were $155.2 million as of March 31, 2025.

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 gross profit, adjusted gross margin, 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.

The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release 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 these non-GAAP measures 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.

The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate these measures in the same manner. These non-GAAP financial measures 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 gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS alongside other financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, including gross profit, gross margin, 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 gross profit to gross profit, adjusted gross margin to gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures 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.
