• Generated revenue of $86.8 million in the first quarter of 2022, up 4% sequentially and 51% over the same quarter last year.
• Launched Intri24, an introducer sheath designed to optimize the FlowTriever procedure. Intri24 is the latest device added to our FlowTriever system of purpose-built tools, all for a single price.

“We executed crisply across all five of our growth drivers during a highly productive first quarter,” said Bill Hoffman, CEO of Inari Medical. “We maintained our robust growth in patient treatments, presented important new data on the effectiveness of ClotTriever in patients with chronic clot, and raised additional capital to even further accelerate investment in our growth drivers. We also launched the Intri24, the second of what will be many product introductions this year. We are fully committed to better outcomes for our patients, and we remain honored and thankful to serve this mission.”   

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue was $86.8 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $83.2 million for the prior quarter and $57.4 million for the first quarter of 2021. The increase over prior year was driven by continued U.S. commercial expansion and new product introductions.

Gross profit was $76.8 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $52.8 million for the same period of 2021. Gross margin was 88.5% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 91.9% for the same period in the prior year, lower primarily due to the move to our larger production facility in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2022 were $79.9 million, compared to $45.1 million for the first 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, and clinical and support organizations.

Net loss was $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2022 and net loss per share was $0.06 on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 51.0 million, compared to a net income of $7.5 million and a net income per share of $0.15 and $0.13 on a weighted-average basic share count of 49.4 million and diluted share count of 55.7 million, respectively, in the same period of the prior year.
