Afrezza net revenue for the second quarter of 2023 increased $2.9 million, or 27%, compared to the same period in 2022 as a result of higher product demand and price. V-Go was acquired in the second quarter of 2022 and achieved $22.0 million in cumulative net revenues one year post-acquisition, which was at the high end of our forecasted range. The increase in collaborations and services revenue was primarily attributable to revenues associated with the commercial supply agreement (the "CSA") with United Therapeutics ("UT"). In the second quarter of 2022, revenue associated with the CSA was deferred until we began commercial manufacturing and subsequently selling Tyvaso DPI in June 2022. Royalties related to Tyvaso DPI, launched in late second quarter of 2022 by UT, were $19.0 million in the second quarter of 2023 and continued to grow based on strong patient demand.

Commercial product gross margin in the second quarter of 2023 was 72% compared to 64% for the same period in 2022, primarily attributable to an increase in Afrezza net revenue, which has a higher gross margin than V-Go.

Cost of revenue – collaborations and services for the second quarter of 2023 was $9.0 million compared to $8.3 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $0.7 million, due to an increase in manufacturing activities for Tyvaso DPI.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $6.5 million compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2022. The $1.6 million increase was primarily attributed to development activities for MNKD-101 (inhaled clofazimine) and an Afrezza post-marketing clinical study (INHALE-3), which commenced in the second quarter of 2023.

Selling expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $14.0 million compared to $15.9 million for the same period in 2022. The $1.9 million decrease was primarily attributable to the termination of an Afrezza pilot promotional effort targeting primary care physicians, which ended in the third quarter of 2022, partially offset by increased headcount after the acquisition of V-Go in the second quarter of 2022.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $11.9 million compared to $10.2 million for the same period in 2022. The $1.8 million increase was primarily attributable to higher stock-based compensation and increased headcount.

Interest income was $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher yields on our marketable securities and money market funds.

Interest expense on financing liability was $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2023 and remained consistent with the same period in 2022.

Interest expense was $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $6.6 million for the same period in 2022, which remained consistent due to fixed interest rates on notes and consistent recognition of interest expense related to the achievement of Afrezza milestones.

Gain on available-for-sale securities for the second quarter of 2023 was $0.9 million as a result of the change in the fair value of the investment that related to credit risk.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we are presenting non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We are providing these non-GAAP financial measures to disclose additional information to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, and they are among the indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provide management and investors with an additional understanding of our business operating results, including underlying trends.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that we may exclude for purposes of our non-GAAP financial measures; and we may in the future cease to exclude items that we have historically excluded for purposes of our non-GAAP financial measures. Likewise, we may determine to modify the nature of its adjustments to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by us in this report have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following tables reconcile our financial measure for income (loss) from operations, net loss and earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") for basic and diluted weighted average shares as reported in our condensed consolidated statement of operations to a non-GAAP presentation as adjusted for the non-cash stock-based compensation expense and non-cash gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions for the periods presented:
