Financial Highlights for the First Half of 2023
Total revenue in the first half of 2023 was $277.0 million as compared to $287.0 million in the first half of 2022, reflective of lower revenue in the first quarter of the year.
Revenue from material sales was $147.3 million in the first half of 2023 as compared to $158.6 million in the first half of 2022. The decline in material sales revenue was primarily due to reduced sales volumes of material sold during the first quarter of the year.

Cost of material sales was $58.1 million in the first half of 2023 as compared to $54.9 million in the first half of 2022 primarily due to Shannon facility costs of $8.6 million and inventory provisions of $4.1 million, partially offset by reduced sales volumes in the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022.
Total gross margin was 76% in the first half of 2023 as compared to 79% in the first half of 2022. Shannon facility costs of $8.6 million and the inventory provision of $4.1 million in 2023 contributed to the 3% decrease in total gross margin between periods.
