Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue was $132.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, up 22.6% compared to $107.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase over the prior year quarter was driven primarily by increased adoption of our procedures, new products, and global commercial expansion.

Gross profit was $115.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $94.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Gross margin was 87.1% for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 87.8% for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $124.4 million, compared to $100.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was mainly driven by transaction costs associated with the acquisition of LimFlow; personnel-related expenses, including commissions and stock-based compensation associated with increased headcount to fund the expansion of the commercial, research and development, clinical, and support organizations; sales and marketing related efforts; and amortization expense related to an intangible asset acquired in the LimFlow acquisition.

GAAP operating loss was $9.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with a $5.9 million GAAP operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP operating loss was $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The following items were excluded from the non-GAAP operating loss: acquisition-related costs of $7.7 million and acquired intangible asset amortization of $1.3 million. There were no non-GAAP adjustments related to the company’s operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Net loss was $4.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and net loss per share was $0.08 on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 57.6 million, compared to a net loss of $5.8 million and a net loss per share of $0.11 on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 53.6 million, in the same period of the prior year.

Full Year 2023 Financial Results
Revenue was $493.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, up 28.7% compared to $383.5 million in the prior year. The increase over the prior period was driven primarily by continued U.S. and international commercial expansion, increased adoption of our procedures, and introduction of new products.

Gross profit was $434.6 million for the full year of 2023, compared to $339.0 million for the prior year. Gross margin was 88.0% for the full year of 2023, compared to 88.4% for the prior year.

Operating expenses for the full year of 2023 were $448.6 million, compared to $367.1 million for the prior year. The increase was mainly driven by personnel-related expenses, including commissions and stock-based compensation associated with increased headcount to fund the expansion of the commercial, research and development, clinical, and support organizations.

GAAP operating loss was $14.0 million for the full year of 2023, compared with a $28.1 million GAAP operating loss in the prior year.

Non-GAAP operating loss was $2.4 million for the full year of 2023. The following items were excluded from the non-GAAP operating loss: acquisition-related costs of $10.4 million and acquired intangible asset amortization of $1.3 million. There were no non-GAAP adjustments related to the company’s full year 2022 operating loss.

Net loss was $1.6 million for the full year of 2023 and net loss per share was $0.03 on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 56.8 million, compared to a net loss of $29.3 million and net loss per share of $0.55 on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 52.8 million.

Full Year 2024 Revenue Guidance

  • Inari expects full year 2024 revenue of $580 million to $595 million, reflecting growth of approximately 17.5% to 20.5% over 2023.
  • The company still expects to reach sustained operating profitability in the first half of 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This 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 and acquisition-related costs. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023, we began presenting 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 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.
