Steady Revenue Growth Despite Product Changes

Net revenues stood at $46.6 million, a slight increase from $45.9 million in the prior quarter but marginally down from $46.7 million in the same period last year. This fluctuation was attributed to the sunset of certain products in late 2023, partially offset by growth in other products.
