Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Revenue was $153.4 million for the third quarter of 2024, up 21.4% compared to $126.4 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase over the prior year quarter was driven primarily by an expansion in our sales territories, opening of new accounts, increase in adoption of our procedures, global commercial expansion, and introduction of new products.

Gross profit was $133.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $111.9 million for the third quarter of 2023. Gross margin was 87.1% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 88.5% for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year change was primarily due to product mix, the ramp up costs associated with new products, and increasing internationalization of the business.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $147.1 million, compared to $109.8 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase was mainly driven by personnel-related expenses, including commissions and share-based compensation associated with increased headcount to fund the expansion of the commercial, research and development, clinical, and support organizations; change in fair value of the contingent consideration liability; capitalized software impairment and related costs; professional fees including legal expenses; amortization expense related to an intangible asset acquired in the LimFlow acquisition, and travel related costs.

GAAP operating loss was $13.6 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to a $2.1 million GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2023. Sequentially, GAAP operating loss improved by $8.8 million.

Non-GAAP operating loss was $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP operating income was $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. Sequentially, non-GAAP operating loss improved by $12.8 million. The following items were excluded from the non-GAAP operating loss in the third quarter of 2024: change in fair value of contingent consideration liability of $6.6 million, capitalized software impairment and related costs of $3.8 million, acquired intangible asset amortization of $2.5 million, and acquisition-related expenses of $0.3 million. The following items were excluded from the non-GAAP operating income in the third quarter of 2023: acquisition-related expenses of $2.7 million.

Net loss was $18.4 million for the third quarter of 2024 and net loss per share was $0.31 on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 58.4 million, compared to net income of $3.2 million and net income per share of $0.06 on a weighted-average basic share count of 57.4 million and $0.05 on a weighted-average diluted share count of 58.6 million, respectively, in the same period of the prior year.

Full Year 2024 Revenue Guidance and Operating Income Outlook

• Inari raises full year 2024 revenue guidance to $601.5 million to $604.5 million, an increase of $3.5 million at the midpoint from our prior guidance range of $594.5 million to $604.5 million, reflecting growth of approximately 21.9% to 22.5% over 2023.

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, acquisition-related costs, fair value adjustment to our contingent consideration liability and capitalized software impairment and related costs. We present the 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 completed in the fourth quarter of 2023, as well as other non-recurring factors such as wind down of certain projects. 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 and other non-recurring transactions, 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.
