IRVINE, Calif., May 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inari Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: NARI) (“Inari”) a commercial-stage medical device company focused on developing products to treat and transform the lives of patients suffering from venous diseases, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

First Quarter Revenue and Business Highlights:

• Treated a record number of patients, driving revenue of $57.4 million, which was up 18% sequentially and 113% over the prior year period.
• Announced first patient enrolled in FLAME study, the largest clinical trial ever conducted on high risk PE patients.
• Ended the quarter with $174.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.
  

“During Q1 we again made important progress in our mission to treat and transform the lives of our patients,” said Bill Hoffman, CEO of Inari Medical. “We treated a record number of patients and significantly expanded our commercial footprint. We further demonstrated our commitment to advancing the science and the VTE space more broadly by expanding our FLASH registry to 1,000 patients, adding longer term monitoring via a smart watch, and launching FLAME to study the sickest PE patient population. Increasingly, we see our future filled not just with opportunity, but with responsibility to serve ever more patients. We are grateful for this responsibility, and for the support of all of you who continue to believe and invest in our mission.”   

First Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue was $57.4 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $48.6 million for the prior quarter and $27.0 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase over prior year was driven by continued US commercial expansion and increased production adoption.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2021 was $52.7 million compared to $24.2 million for the first quarter of 2020. Gross margin increased slightly to 91.9% for the first quarter of 2021, compared with 90.0% in the same quarter last year, due primarily to greater operating leverage.

Operating expenses were $45.1 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared with $19.4 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 $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2021 and net income per share was $0.15 on a weighted-average basic share count of 49.4 million and $0.13 on a diluted share count of 55.7 million, compared to net income of $4.1 million and an income per share of $0.64 on a weighted-average basic share count of 64 million and $0.09 on a diluted share count of 45.0 million in the same period of the prior year.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $174.1 million as of March 31, 2021.

Despite ongoing challenges and uncertainties in its operating environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Inari Medical is providing financial guidance as follows:
