IRVINE, Calif., July 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inari Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:NARI) ("Inari"), a medical device company with a mission to treat and transform the lives of patients suffering from venous and other diseases, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024. Second Quarter Financial and Recent Business Highlights Generated revenue of $146 million in Q2 of 2024, up 23% over the same quarter last year. Commenced full commercial launch of VenaCore, Inari's latest purpose-built device for the treatment of acute and chronic DVT. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $110 million as of Q2 of 2024. "Our second quarter performance was driven by strong adoption of our market leading solutions across our VTE, Emerging Therapies and international businesses," said Drew Hykes, CEO of Inari Medical. "Our field team is making meaningful progress supporting our hospital customers in building VTE programs, allowing more patients to benefit from our solutions. We are also pleased with the progress of our new products, including the recent launch of VenaCore, as well as positive reimbursement updates benefiting LimFlow. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, we are confident in continued momentum across all three of our growth drivers and look forward to our PEERLESS data release." Second Quarter 2024 Financial ResultsRevenue was $145.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, up 22.5% compared to $119.0 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase over the prior year quarter was driven primarily by an expansion in our sales territories, opening of new accounts, increase in adoption of our procedures, and global commercial expansion. Gross profit was $125.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $105.2 million for the second quarter of 2023. Gross margin was 86.3% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 88.4% for the second quarter of 2023. The year-over-year change was primarily due to product mix, the ramp up costs associated with new products, and increasing internationalization of the business. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $148.3 million, compared to $106.7 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase was mainly driven by personnel-related expenses, including commissions and share-based compensation associated with increased headcount to fund the expansion of the commercial, research and development, clinical, and support organizations; professional fees including legal fees; change in fair value of the contingent consideration liability; amortization expense related to an intangible asset acquired in the LimFlow acquisition, and acquisition-related expenses. GAAP operating loss was $22.4 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared with a $1.5 million GAAP operating loss for the second quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP operating loss was $13.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. The following items were excluded from the non-GAAP operating loss: change in fair value of contingent consideration liability of $5.7 million, acquired intangible asset amortization of $2.4 million, and acquisition-related expenses of $1.0 million. There were no non-GAAP adjustments related to the company's operating loss for the second quarter of 2023. Net loss was $31.3 million for the second quarter of 2024 and net loss per share was $0.54 on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 58.1 million, compared to a net income of $2.1 million and a net income per share of $0.04 on a weighted-average basic count of 57.2 million and $0.04 on a weighted-average diluted share count of 58.5 million, respectively, in the same period of the prior year. Full Year 2024 Revenue Guidance and Operating Income Outlook Inari raises full year 2024 revenue guidance to $594.5 million to $604.5 million, an increase of $2 million at the midpoint from our prior guidance range of $592.5 million to $602.5 million, reflecting growth of approximately 20.5% to 22.5% over 2023. The company continues to expect to reach sustained operating profitability in the first half of 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis 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, acquisition-related costs and fair value adjustment to our contingent consideration liability. We present the 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 completed 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.
