IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 02, 2022 (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 third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter Revenue and Recent Business Highlights

• Generated revenue of $96.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, up 32% over the same quarter last year.
• Initiated full market release of two new products, Protrieve and InThrill. Both devices are priced outside of our per procedure pricing representing independent sources of revenue.
• Presented three late breaking clinical trials at recent major medical conferences. Analyses of the full data sets of FLASH (800 PE patients) and CLOUT (500 DVT patients) confirm best in class safety and efficacy of FlowTriever and ClotTriever.
• Ended the quarter with $319.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

“Our aggressive investment in our growth drivers is paying off for our mission”, said Bill Hoffman, Chief Executive Officer of Inari Medical. “We launched two new products, our fifth and sixth of 2022, and presented three new data sets as late breaking clinical trials at major conferences. We continue to sense responsibility, not merely opportunity, for this work. I love so much that our team has committed to changing lives in the most beautiful ways.”

“We have committed to our patients and to big ideas, and I think you are seeing tangible results in the cadence of new product and data releases, as well as our overall performance”, continued Drew Hykes, Inari’s Chief Operating Officer and incoming CEO. “Our efforts continue to drive market expansion and uptake of our devices while further distancing Inari from both existing and future competition.”

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue was $96.2 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $72.9 million for the third quarter of 2021 and $92.7 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 $85.1 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $65.9 million for the same period of 2021. Gross margin was 88.5% for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 90.3% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross margin is primarily due to the addition of new products to our FlowTriever per procedure pricing model.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $94.9 million, compared to $68.6 million for the third 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 $10.2 million for the third quarter of 2022 and net loss per share was $0.19 on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 53.5 million, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million and a net loss per share of $0.06 on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 50 million, in the same period of the prior year.

Full-Year 2022 Revenue Guidance

For the full year 2022, we are increasing our revenue guidance from our previous range of $360 million to $370 million to a range of $373 million to $375 million.
