Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022 Financial Highlights:
- Revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, were approximately $94.9 million, an increase of 36% compared to 2021.

- Operating expenses were approximately $58.4 million in the full year of 2022, compared to approximately $51.4 million in 2021. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the hiring additional employees and marketing expenses to grow the Company.

- Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased 20% to $29.6 million, compared to $24.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
