Insights

The reported revenue growth of 22.6% for Inari Medical's fourth quarter and 28.7% for the full year is a strong indicator of the company's market penetration and the successful adoption of its medical procedures. The detailed financial results, including the gross margin remaining robust at around 87% despite scaling operations, suggest efficient cost management and a potentially sustainable business model. However, the GAAP operating losses reported both quarterly and annually, although narrower year-over-year, highlight ongoing investments in expansion and R&D. This is a critical consideration for investors, as it suggests a strategic prioritization of growth over immediate profitability, which is often the case in the medical device industry.

Furthermore, the LimFlow acquisition and related costs, although contributing to the operating loss, represent strategic positioning in the market. The acquisition is likely to enhance Inari's product portfolio and could lead to long-term revenue growth. The company's projection of reaching sustained operating profitability by the first half of 2025 can be interpreted as a confident outlook on the success of these investments. However, it is essential for stakeholders to monitor the integration of LimFlow and the subsequent financial impact to assess the accuracy of these projections.

The completion of enrollment in the PEERLESS randomized controlled trial (RCT) is a significant milestone for Inari Medical. RCTs are the gold standard for evaluating the efficacy and safety of medical treatments. Successful trial outcomes can lead to increased market adoption and potentially drive revenue growth. The emphasis on generating high-level clinical evidence is a positive sign for healthcare professionals and patients, indicating a commitment to proving the value and effectiveness of Inari's therapies.

From a research perspective, the ability to establish their therapy as a standard of care for venous thromboembolism (VTE) could not only benefit patient outcomes but also significantly expand the company's market share. The implications of such clinical advancements are substantial, potentially leading to a stronger competitive position and partnerships within the healthcare sector.

Examining Inari Medical's commercial traction across emerging therapies and international expansion, it is evident that the company is working to diversify its revenue streams and reduce reliance on any single market or product line. The global commercial expansion and introduction of new products are likely drivers behind the reported revenue increase. This diversification strategy can shield the company from localized economic downturns and changes in regional healthcare policies.

The provided revenue guidance for 2024, with an expected growth of approximately 17.5% to 20.5%, suggests a confident yet conservative forecast, likely accounting for market uncertainties and the integration of new acquisitions. For stakeholders, this guidance, along with the anticipated profitability timeline, will be key indicators of the company's future performance and its ability to deliver on strategic initiatives.

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inari Medical, Inc.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue was $132.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, up 22.6% compared to $107.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase over the prior year quarter was driven primarily by increased adoption of our procedures, new products, and global commercial expansion.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $124.4 million, compared to $100.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was mainly driven by transaction costs associated with the acquisition of LimFlow; personnel-related expenses, including commissions and stock-based compensation associated with increased headcount to fund the expansion of the commercial, research and development, clinical, and support organizations; sales and marketing related efforts; and amortization expense related to an intangible asset acquired in the LimFlow acquisition.

Non-GAAP operating loss was $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Revenue was $493.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, up 28.7% compared to $383.5 million in the prior year.

Gross profit was $434.6 million for the full year of 2023, compared to $339.0 million for the prior year. Gross margin was 88.0% for the full year of 2023, compared to 88.4% for the prior year.

Operating expenses for the full year of 2023 were $448.6 million, compared to $367.1 million for the prior year. The increase was mainly driven by personnel-related expenses, including commissions and stock-based compensation associated with increased headcount to fund the expansion of the commercial, research and development, clinical, and support organizations.

GAAP operating loss was $14.0 million for the full year of 2023, compared with a $28.1 million GAAP operating loss in the prior year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains references to non-GAAP operating income (loss), which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. This means that non-GAAP operating income (loss) is determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). As used by Inari, non-GAAP operating income (loss) excludes from GAAP operating income (loss) the following items: amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related costs. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023, we began presenting non-GAAP operating income (loss) to exclude these charges because we believe these charges are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of acquisitions, such as our LimFlow acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2023. Our management believes the presentation of non-GAAP operating income (loss) is useful because it provides meaningful comparisons to prior periods and provides visibility to our underlying operating performance and an additional means to evaluate the cost and expense trends excluding the impact of these acquisition-related items, which are not related to our core business operations.

Our definition of non-GAAP operating income (loss) may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP operating income (loss) to GAAP operating income (loss), which has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
