• Introduction of multiple new products including the Triever 20 Curve, which along with FDA clearance for clot in transit, opens a new $200 million market opportunity.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenue was $48.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $38.7 million for the prior quarter and $19.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase over prior year figures was driven by continued US commercial expansion and increased product adoption.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $44.9 million compared to $17.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Gross margin increased slightly to 92.4% for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with 89.2% in the same quarter last year, due primarily to greater operating leverage.

Operating expenses were $37.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with $16.6 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was driven primarily by personnel-related expenses to fund expansion of the commercial, research and development, clinical and support organizations, as well as expenses related to being a public company.  

Net income was $7.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 and net income per share was $0.14 on a weighted-average basic share count of 48.7 million and $0.13 on a diluted share count of 55.2 million, compared to net income of $0.4 million and an income per share of $0.06 on a weighted-average basic share count of 6.2 million and $0.01 on a diluted share count of 44.7 million in the same period of the prior year.

Full Year 2020 Financial Results
Revenue was $139.7 million for the full year of 2020, compared to $51.1 million in 2019.

Gross profit for the full year of 2020 was $126.6 million compared to $45.2 million for 2019. Gross margin increased slightly to 90.6% for the full year of 2020, compared with 88.4% in 2019.

Operating expenses were $108.1 million for the full year of 2020, compared with $44.4 million in 2019.

Net income was $13.8 million for the full year of 2020 and net income per share was $0.43 on a weighted-average basic share count of 32.0 million and $0.27 on a diluted share count of 51.6 million, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million and a loss per share of $0.20 on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 5.9 million for the prior year.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $164.2 million as of December 31, 2020 compared to $24.0 million as of December 31, 2019. This reflects the completion of Inari’s underwritten public offering which raised a total of $164.4 million of net proceeds (after underwriting fees and offering expenses) and cash provided by operating activities, offset by the $20.7 million net repayment of debt and cash used in investing activities.

• For the first quarter of 2021, revenue of $54 to $56 million, and,
