““In the second quarter, we built upon our first quarter progress to deliver a significant improvement in our year-over-year first half operating results,” said Jeff Surges, president and CEO of Connecture, in a statement.

“On the operations and cost front, our ongoing efficiency initiatives in the first half of the year have driven improved gross margins and have substantially reduced our operating losses. Overall, I am very pleased with our execution and results,” Surges added.

For the first six months of 2017, the company reported a net loss of $8.7 million, or 51 cents lost per share, compared to $17.2 million, or 81 cents lost per share. Revenue was $36.6 million in the first six months of 2017, compared to $36.3 million in the same period in 2016.

Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $73 million to $78 million this year, the company said.

In May, Connecture received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq indicating it has not met the required $15 million minimum market value of publicly held shares for the past 30 consecutive business days. Per Nasdaq rules, Connecture has until Oct. 31 to bring its market value into compliance with this rule, or its stock will be delisted.
