Total revenue decreased $0.2 million to $18.4 million, or 1.2% year-over-year on a reported basis and decreased 1.6% on a constant currency basis. Total revenue in the third quarter of 2017 included royalty revenue related to patent license agreements of $0.2 million which was consistent with the third quarter of 2016.
Product revenue decreased $0.2 million to $18.2 million, or 1.2% year-over-year on a reported basis and decreased 1.6% on a constant currency basis. U.S. product revenue increased $0.6 million to $15.5 million, or 3.8% year-over-year, and Rest of World product revenue decreased $0.8 million to $2.7 million, or 23.1% year-over-year on a reported basis and decreased 25% on a constant currency basis. Product revenue from sales of iTotal CR, iDuo and iUni was $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $14.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 10% year-over-year on a reported and constant currency basis. Product revenue from sales of iTotal PS was $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $1.2 million, or 29% year-over-year on a reported and constant currency basis.
Gross profit increased $1.3 million to $7.3 million, or 40% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $6.0 million, or 32% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2016. The 800 basis point increase





in gross margin year-over-year was driven primarily by cost reductions as a result of vertical integration and manufacturing efficiencies.
Total operating expenses increased $1.3 million to $20.2 million, or 7% year-over-year. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by higher general and administrative costs, partially offset by lower sales and marketing costs.
Net loss was $12.5 million, or $0.29 per basic share, in the third quarter of 2017, compared to a net loss of $12.8 million, or $0.31 per basic share, for the same period last year. The decrease in third quarter net loss was driven primarily by higher gross profit and higher foreign currency exchange transaction income related to international intercompany receivables, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and investments totaled $54.5 million, compared to $65.5 million as of December 31, 2016.
Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company provides certain information regarding the Company's financial results or projected financial results on a non-GAAP "constant currency basis." This information estimates the impact of changes in foreign currency rates on the translation of the Company's current or projected future period financial results as compared to the applicable comparable period. This impact is derived by taking the adjusted current or projected local currency results and translating them into U.S. Dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable period. It does not include any other effect of changes in foreign currency rates on the Company's results or business. Non-GAAP information is not a substitute for, and is not superior to, information presented on a GAAP basis.
