Analyst · the business work together in our overriding goal, and that is to provide the best services in the industry. You have heard me say this before, and it is not an empty slogan, but we love our customers and go out of our way to do the best for them every single day. I believe that Crexendo will continue to keep innovating and keep providing the very best services to our clients, all which I am convinced will continue to accelerate our growth. With that said, we can still improve. We are managing the business very carefully. We stress fundamentals, sales process, margin, managing expenses and margins. That is something we do every day. It makes a better business to increase its shareholder value. This is a simple business 101, but often gets forgotten. So I remind the team regularly to manage the business, the product play. I am proud that we have carefully built the business, and we'll continue to do so. We have not run up sustainable -- unsustainable debt which with current rising interest rates is crippling many of our competitors and businesses. We will also stress process and careful strategic management. The results I am convinced will continue to impress. I have very high expectations for our future, and I am convinced we will impress our customers. Most importantly, we will convince -- we will impress our shareholders with our steady and sustainable results. We have grown the business the right way, and we will continue doing that. My confidence is boosted by the fact that we have won numerous awards lately. Perhaps the most impressive is our being awarded the number one high performance in G2.com's Summer 2022 Grid Report for VOIP providers. The award is particularly gratifying as the only ranking from verified customers. This shows the efforts of our people. I'm convinced that this will continue to grow the business, both organically and with accretive acquisitions that we are carefully monitoring. With that, I'll turn the call over to Ron. Ron
Thank you, Steve. Good afternoon, everyone. I'll start with some financial highlights for the second quarter of 2022. Our total revenue for the second quarter increased 53% to $8.8 million compared to $5.8 million for the second quarter of the prior year. Our service revenue for the second quarter increased 5% to $4.6 million compared to $4.3 million for the second quarter of the prior year. Our software solutions revenue for the second quarter increased 256% to $3.6 million compared to $1 million for the second quarter of the prior year. I'll remind everyone for comparison purposes, the three months ended June 30, 2021, only includes one month of activity from our June 1, 2021 acquisition date of the software solutions segment. Product revenue for the second quarter increased 57% to $692,000 as compared to $440,000 for the second quarter of the prior year. Gross margins were as follows: telecom services, 68%; software solutions, 67%; product, 46%; and our overall consolidated gross margin was 66%. Operating expenses for the second quarter increased 38% to $9.7 million compared to $7 million for the second quarter of the prior year. Same comment for comparison purposes, the prior quarter only includes one month of the software solutions segment operating expenses. The Company reported a net loss of $896,000 for the second quarter or a $0.04 loss per basic and diluted common share compared to a net loss of $1 million or $0.05 loss per basic and diluted share for the second quarter of the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, we reported earnings of $512,000 for the second quarter and $0.02 per basic and diluted common share as compared to non-GAAP net income of only $37,000 and breakeven on a basic and common share for the second quarter of the prior year. Our EBITDA loss for the second quarter was $232,000 compared to $983,000 loss for the second quarter of the prior year. Our adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter increased $626,000 as compared to a loss of $153,000 for the second quarter of the prior year. So very positive increases there. Now I'll highlight some highlights for the six-month period. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30 increased 65% to $17 million compared to $10.3 million for the same period of the prior year. Our service revenue for the six-month period increased 6% to $9 million compared to $8.5 million for the same period of the prior year. Our software solutions revenue for the six-month period increased 578% to $6.9 million compared to $1.1 million for the same period of the prior year. And for comparison purposes, just to remind you, that our software solutions was only included from the acquisition dated June 1, 2021. Product revenue for the six months ended June 30 increased 47% to $1.2 million as compared to $808,000 for the same period of the prior year. Operating expenses for the six-month period increased 56% to $19.2 million compared to $12.4 million due to the software solutions segment only having one month of operating expenses from the prior period. The Company reported a net loss of $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, or $0.09 loss per basic and diluted common share as compared to a net loss of $1.7 million or $0.09 loss per basic and diluted share for the same period in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, we reported income of $917,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, or $0.04 basic and diluted common share as compared to non-GAAP net income of $345,000 or $0.02 per basic and diluted common share for the same period of the prior year. EBITDA loss of $1 million for the six-month period compared to a loss of $1.7 million for the same period of the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA earnings of $928,000 for the six-month period as compared to $92,000 for the same period of the prior year. Total cash and cash equivalents at June 30 was $4.9 million compared to $7.5 million at December 31, 2021. Cash used for operating activities for the six-month period was $2.6 million compared to $224,000 used for the same period of the prior year. Cash used for investing activities for the six-month period was $40,000 compared to $10.5 million used in the same period of the prior year. Cash used for financing activities for the six-month period was $20,000 compared to cash used for investing activities of $966,000 for the same period of the prior year. With that, I'll turn it over to Doug Gaylor, our President and COO, for additional comments on sales operations.
