Inari Medical Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 27, 2023 (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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

Fourth Quarter Revenue and Recent Business Highlights

• Generated revenue of $107.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, up 12% sequentially and 30% over the same quarter last year, and finished full year 2022 with revenue of $383.5 million, a 38% increase over full year 2021.
• Enrolled the first patient into our DEFIANCE randomized controlled trial (“RCT”) in Deep Vein Thrombosis, comparing the performance of ClotTriever against anticoagulation alone.
• Ended the quarter with $326.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

“Crisp execution across all five of our growth drivers generated robust revenue growth in the fourth quarter,” said Drew Hykes, CEO of Inari Medical. “We are especially pleased with the milestones we achieved across several clinical studies as well as two important new product launches. Our efforts continue to drive market expansion and uptake of our devices while further distancing Inari from both existing and future competition.”

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenue was $107.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $83.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $96.2 million for the prior quarter. The increase over prior periods was driven primarily by continued U.S. commercial expansion, increased adoption of our procedures, and introduction of new products.

Gross profit was $94.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $74.9 million for the same period of 2021. Gross margin was 87.8% for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 90.1% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross margin is primarily due to the addition of new components offered under our FlowTriever system price.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $100.5 million, compared to $73.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly driven by personnel-related expenses as we increased headcount to fund the expansion of the commercial, research and development, clinical, and support organizations.

Net loss was $5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and net loss per share was $0.11 on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 53.6 million, compared to a net income of $1.1 million and a net income per share of $0.02 on a weighted-average basic share count of 50.2 million and $0.02 on a weighted average diluted share count of 55.6 million, in the same period of the prior year.

Full Year 2022 Financial Results
Revenue was $383.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $277.0 million in the prior year. The increase over prior periods was driven primarily by continued U.S. commercial expansion, increased adoption of our procedures, and introduction of new products.

Gross profit was $339.0 million for the full year of 2022, compared to $252.2 million for the prior year. Gross margin was 88.4% for the full year of 2022, compared to 91.1% for the prior year. The decrease in gross margin is primarily due to the addition of new components offered under our FlowTriever system price and a decrease in operating leverage due to the expanded footprint of our manufacturing operations.

Operating expenses for the full year of 2022 were $367.1 million, compared to $241.4 million for the prior year. The increase was mainly driven by personnel-related expenses as we increased headcount to fund the expansion of the commercial, research and development, clinical, and support organizations.

Net loss was $29.3 million for the full year of 2022 and net loss per share was $0.55 on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 52.8 million, compared to a net income of $9.8 million and net income per share of $0.20 on a weighted-average basic share count of 49.8 million and $0.18 on a weighted-average diluted share count of 55.6 million, in the prior year.

Full-Year 2023 Revenue Guidance
For the full year 2023, we are reaffirming our revenue guidance range of $470 million to $480 million.
