23andMe ( NASDAQ: ME ) stock fell ~14% premarket Aug. 9 after the company's Q1 net loss widened Y/Y due to higher operating expenses.
Q1 FY23 total revenue grew ~9% Y/Y to $64.51M. The company said the increase was mainly due to inclusion of a full quarter of telehealth services and an increase in subscription revenue, which were partially offset by lower revenue in the other areas of Consumer & Research Services.
Gross profit declined ~17% Y/Y to $25.49M.
Net loss widened to $89.79M, compared to -$42.03M in Q1 FY22 primarily driven by higher operating expenses.
