Net revenue decreased by $140 million, or 12%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022. The decline is primarily attributed to lower demand for COVID-19 related programs and a decline in consumer health products.
Gross margin decreased $219 million, or 56%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022. This decrease is due to an unfavorable shift in product mix, lower levels of utilization, increased spending on operational and engineering enhancements, and increased inventory write-offs.
The company reported a net loss of $(206) million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a net income of $81 million for the same period in the prior year. This significant change reflects the challenges in revenue and profitability.
