The company reported a loss of $0.17 per share, significantly missing consensus estimates by $0.09, and revenue figures that fell short by over a million dollars compared to expectations. This was attributed to a 'pause in manufacturing' at the Salt Lake City facility, which directly impeded production and sales of the
