Total revenue includes royalty and licensing revenue of $10.2 million for the year ended 2020 and $0.8 million for the year ended 2019 related to patent license agreements. The increase in royalty and licensing revenue was driven by $9.6 million in revenue recognized in the second quarter under the settlement and license agreement with Zimmer Biomet. Product revenue decreased $18.1 million to $58.5 million, or 24% year-over-year on a reported and constant currency basis. U.S. product revenue decreased $16.4 million to $50.7 million, or 24% year-over-year, and rest-of-world product revenue decreased $1.7 million to $7.8 million, or 18% year-over-year on a reported basis and 19% on a constant currency basis. Conformis Hip System sales for 2020, which were all in the United States, were up 26.1% to $2.5 million. Total gross profit decreased $3.0 million to $33.7 million, or 49% of revenue, in 2020, compared to $36.7 million, or 47% of revenue, in 2019. The 160 basis point increase in gross margin year-over-year was primarily driven by the $9.6 million licensing revenue recognized as a result of the settlement and license agreement with Zimmer Biomet, offset by lower volume and cancelled case inventory expense during the year. Total operating expenses decreased $3.0 million to $58.8 million, or 5% year-over-year. The decrease in expenses was primarily driven by lower variable expenses as a result of the decline in revenue as well as lower travel and marketing-related expenses. Net loss was $24.3 million, or $0.34 per basic share for 2020, compared to a net loss of $28.5 million, or $0.44 per basic share, for 2019. Net loss included foreign currency exchange income of $3.2 million in 2020, compared to foreign currency exchange loss of $0.7 million in 2019. Net loss per basic share calculations assume weighted average basic shares outstanding of 71.7 million for 2020, compared to 64.1 million for 2019. As of December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled $28.7 million, compared to $26.4 million as of December 31, 2019. Outlook Historically, we see a drop in first quarter revenue compared to the preceding fourth quarter as many health plans reset on January 1. In addition, we have continued to experience pressure on our business from reduced elective procedures into 2021. Accordingly, we expect our first quarter product revenue to be in the range of $13.0 million to $14.0 million. We believe this pressure will continue through the second quarter, but that we may see elective volumes improve in the third quarter as vaccines become more widely available.
