Additionally, as more home medical equipment (HME) providers adopt portable oxygen concentrators in their businesses, we expect our historical seasonality in the domestic business-to-business channel could change as well, which was previously influenced mainly by consumer buying patterns. Direct-to-consumer sales seasonality may also be impacted by the number of sales representatives and the amount of marketing spend in each quarter.

The 2013 final HITECH omnibus rule modified the breach reporting standard in a manner that made more data security incidents qualify as reportable breaches. In addition to federal regulations issued under HIPAA, some states have enacted privacy and security statutes or regulations that, in some cases, are more stringent than those issued under HIPAA.

The tanks and cylinders must be delivered regularly and have a finite amount of oxygen, which requires patients to plan activities outside of their homes around delivery schedules and a finite 3 oxygen supply. Additionally, patients must attach long, cumbersome tubing to their stationary concentrators simply to enable mobility within their homes.

Our proprietary conserver technology utilizes differentiated triggering sensitivity to quickly detect a breath and ensure oxygen delivery within the first 400 milliseconds of inspiration, the interval when oxygen has the most effect on lung gas exchange. During periods of sleep, respiratory rates typically decrease.

We believe the following have hindered the market acceptance of portable oxygen concentrators: to obtain portable oxygen concentrators, patients are dependent on home medical equipment providers, which have made significant investments in the physical distribution infrastructure to support the delivery model and which we believe are therefore disincentivized to encourage adoption of portable oxygen concentrators; home medical equipment providers cannot easily convert their businesses to non-delivery models in oxygen due to low total reimbursement for oxygen therapy, capital expenditure constraints, investments that are spread across multiple product lines, and uncertainty around reimbursement rate changes; lack of access to switch from oxygen tank or liquid deliveries to a portable oxygen concentrator using their insurance benefits due to the nature of the capped reimbursement structure; and constrained manufacturing costs of conventional portable oxygen concentrators, driven by home medical equipment provider preference for products that have lower upfront equipment cost.

There were significant U.S. reimbursement and policy changes associated with the COVID-19 PHE that impacted oxygen therapy and other durable medical equipment.

We plan to add new rental patients on service in future periods through multiple strategies, including expanding our prescriber sales teams, expanding our direct-to-consumer marketing efforts, investing in patient and physician awareness and advocacy, expanding clinical evidence, and securing additional insurance contracts. 71 A portion of rental patient population operates in a capped rental period during which no additional reimbursement is allowed unless additional criteria are met.
The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in international business-to-business sales, partially offset by lower domestic business-to-business and direct-to-consumer sales. We sold approximately 170,500 oxygen systems during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to approximately 175,800 oxygen systems sold during the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of 3.0%.
The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in domestic direct-to-consumer sales as well as lower domestic and international business-to-business sales. We sold approximately 130,500 oxygen systems during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to approximately 170,500 oxygen systems sold during the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of 23.5%.
In support of our European sales, we use a contract manufacturer located in the Czech Republic to manufacture high volume products and perform product repairs to improve delivery to our European accounts.

We also use lean manufacturing practices to maximize manufacturing efficiency. We rely on third-party manufacturers to supply several components of our products.
Rental revenue increased in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to a greater number of patients on service and higher Medicare reimbursement rates.
Rental revenue increased in 2023, primarily due to higher patients on service and higher Medicare reimbursement rates.

The increase in net loss was primarily related to a $52.2 million loss on disposal of intangible asset and a $23.0 million reduction in gross profit and higher operating expense, partially offset by an increase in the benefit from the change in fair value of the New Aera earnout liability.
The increase in net loss was primarily related to the goodwill impairment, a reduction in sales revenue and gross profit, and the change in fair value of the earnout liabilities, partially offset by the $52.2 million loss on disposal of an intangible asset in 2022.
A portion of rental patient population includes a capped rental period during which no additional reimbursement is allowed unless additional criteria are met. This capped period begins after month 36 and continues until month 60. The ratio of billable patients to total patients on service is critical to maintaining rental revenue growth as patients on service increase.

The largest driver of increased cost was premiums paid for components used to manufacture our batteries and motherboards used in our POCs. The year ended December 31, 2022 included $23.8 million of higher material costs associated with open-market purchases of semiconductor chips used in our batteries and POCs.
The year ended December 31, 2023 included $14.2 million of material cost premiums associated with open-market purchases of semiconductor chips used in our batteries and POCs compared to $23.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2022.
Liquidity and capital resources As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $187.0 million, which consisted of highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less.
Liquidity and capital resources As of December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $125.5 million, which consisted of highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less. In addition, we held marketable securities of $3.0 million, which had maturities of greater than three months.
Use of funds Our principal uses of cash are funding our new rental asset deployments and other capital purchases, operations, and other working capital requirements and, from time-to-time, the acquisition of businesses.

Product selling prices and gross margins may fluctuate based on revenue channel mix, as we introduce new products, our product costs change, we have changes in purchase volumes, and as currency variations occur. For example, the higher costs for semiconductor chips has had a negative impact on our gross margin, and we expect that will continue in 2023.

For these reasons, we expect sales gross margin percentage to fluctuate over time based on the sales channel mix, product mix, and changes in average selling prices and manufacturing cost per unit.
The supply chain constraints are primarily associated with semiconductor chips used in our batteries and printed circuit boards which are components of our POCs. For these reasons, we expect sales gross margin percentage to fluctuate over time based on the sales channel mix, product mix, and changes in average selling prices and manufacturing cost per unit.
Contingent consideration In connection with our acquisition of New Aera, we have contingent obligations to pay up to $31.4 million in earnout payments in cash if certain future financial results are met. As a result of the earnout requirements not expected to be met as of December 31, 2022, we do not expect to make the earnout payments.

Biggest changeWe began entering into foreign exchange forward contracts in December 2015 to protect our forecasted U.S. dollar-equivalent earnings from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These hedging contracts reduce, but will not entirely eliminate, the impact of adverse currency exchange rate movements on revenue, cash, receivables and payables.

We estimate prior to any hedging activity that a 10% adverse change in exchange rates on our foreign denominated sales would have resulted in a $7.2 million decline in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022. We designate these forward contracts as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.
