This expansion will enhance our production capabilities six-fold, enabling us to fulfil the increasing global demand for NexoBrid
Vericel already reported that by the end of last year, they were approached already 50, they got 50 committee engagements, 25 of them already approved, so I think that we have, they're doing a very good job with that
Most notably, the clinical outcomes and the feedback from burn surgeons regarding the initial patient treated with NexoBrid have been extremely positive
To conclude, the company achieved significant milestones in the past quarter and in 2023 overall, and we are confident about 2024 and our future growth

Overall, we are very pleased with the tremendous progress we have made with NexoBrid this year and the strong global demand we have experienced
We continue to prioritize increasing our manufacturing capabilities to fulfill both current and future orders and meet the rising demand for NexoBrid and thereby grow our revenue by greater than 40%
We have all kind of very successful or encouraging results and we are hoping to see the U.S

Vericel is focused on building a strong foundation for NexoBrid by supporting P&T committee approvals
I'm excited about what the future holds for us as we stay committed to redefining the standard of care with NexoBrid and EscharEx
This successful development has sparked increased interest from various global governments in stockpiling NexoBrid for future emergencies
The results of the head-to-head analysis are compelling and were achieved with robust statistical significance

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
In the first quarter of 2023, the company reported revenue of $5.3 million, a decrease from $11.6 million in the first quarter of 2022
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the company's revenue totaled $18.7 million, a decrease from $26.5 million for the year ended 2022
The operating loss of the quarter was $3.9 million compared to an operating profit of $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2022
Ofer Gonen I believe that if you look at how the standard-of-care in the United States was until a quarter ago, it is even painful to watch, very aggressive, a lot of pain and blood and associated
The non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was a loss of $3.2 million compared to a profit of $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2022
The non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA showed a loss of $12.3 million compared to a loss of $4.4 million reported in the previous year
Gross profit for the year was $3.6 million or 19.1% of total revenue, a decrease from $13.2 million or 49.7% of total revenue in prior year
The decrease in gross profit is largely attributed to the BLA approval milestone payment from Vericel in prior year
The demand for NexoBrid currently exceeds our production capabilities
The net loss was reported at $1.7 million or $0.19 per share, which is a decrease from a net loss of $7.5 million or $1.18 per share in the first quarter of the previous year
The operating loss for the year was $15.3 million compared to an $8.3 million loss in previous year
Research and development expenses for the year were $7.5 million, a decrease from $10.2 million in the previous year
We didn't plan on a very significant growth of demand
The decrease in gross profit percentage reflects the absence of the significant one-time payment received in 2022
The company's research and development expenses amounted to $1.8 million, a decrease from $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2022
The net loss for the year was $6.7 million or $0.75 per share compared to a net loss of $19.6 million or $3.93 per share for the year ended December 31, 2022
So, as for 2026, the $39 million, we do not include all kinds of growth and unexpected positive surprises
Ofer, just hoping to do a two-part question on NexoBrid first, but just seems like the demand is surging globally
Selling, general and administrative expenses were reported at $2.8 million, slightly less than the $3 million in the same quarter of the previous year
Our expectations and guidance is only limited by our ability to manufacture
