“We had a busy and successful fourth quarter, achieving record results across geographies and product lines.

We remain focused on improving outcomes for the large population of patients with calcified cardiovascular disease with our IVL products and are also excited to be on the verge of adding another novel technology to Shockwave with the planned acquisition of Neovasc and their Reducer System.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $144.0 million, an increase of $59.8 million, or 71%, compared to the corresponding prior year period. Revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in the purchase volume of our C2 catheters in the United States and increased adoption of our products internationally.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $126.5 million compared to $71.5 million for the corresponding prior year period. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 88%, as compared to 85% in the corresponding prior year period. Contributors to the increased gross margin included product mix in addition to continued improvement in manufacturing productivity and process efficiencies.
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $84.1 million, compared to $57.5 million for the corresponding prior year period, representing a 46% increase, primarily driven by sales force expansion in the United States and higher headcount to support the growth of the business.
Net income was $140.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to a net income of $12.9 million in the corresponding prior year period. Basic net income per share was $3.89 in the fourth quarter of 2022. Diluted net income per share was $3.71 in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Full Year 2022 Financial Results
Revenue for the full year 2022 was $489.7 million, an increase of $252.6 million, or 107%, compared to the full year 2021. The growth was primarily driven by an increase in the purchase volume of our C2 catheters in the United States and increased adoption of our products internationally.
Gross profit for the full year 2022 was $424.7 million compared to $195.7 million for the full year 2021. The gross margin percentage for the full year 2022 increased to 87% compared to 83% in the full year 2021, driven primarily by product mix in addition to continued improvements in production processes and greater absorption of fixed costs by higher production.
Operating expenses were $300.6 million for the full year 2022, compared to $196.6 million for the full year 2021, an increase of 53% primarily driven by increases in headcount to support growth in the business.
Net income was $216.0 million for the full year 2022, as compared to a net loss of $9.1 million for the full year 2021. Basic net income per share was $6.02 for the full year 2022. Diluted net income per share was $5.70 for the full year 2022.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $304.5 million as of December 31, 2022.
