IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inari Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:NARI) ("Inari"), a medical device company focused on developing products to treat and transform the lives of patients suffering from venous diseases, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Third Quarter Revenue and Business Highlights:

Treated a record number of patients, with revenue of $72.9 million for the third quarter of 2021, up 15% sequentially and 88% year-over-year.
Announced FDA clearance of ClotTriever Bold Thrombectomy Catheter, which is designed to treat older clots and more advanced DVT, potentially opening a large new TAM.
Presented data from first 500 patients enrolled in the FLASH PE registry, confirming best in class safety and on-table improvement in hemodynamic metrics, while showing much lower rates of mortality and long-term consequences for PE survivors than published literature.
Ended the quarter with $168.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments.

"Our third quarter was as successful as it was exciting. We again treated a record number of patients and made important progress on all five of our growth drivers," said Bill Hoffman, CEO of Inari Medical. "We presented data from our FLASH PE registry, confirming outstanding safety and acute efficacy. We believe it also shows, now with six month follow up, that FlowTriever changes the natural course of the disease in life saving and life changing ways. We also received FDA clearance for our ClotTriever Bold which might provide a treatment option for a whole new population of patients suffering the most devastating consequences of previously untreated DVT. We are thankful for the opportunity to serve our patients and our mission."

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenue was $72.9 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $63.5 million for the prior quarter and $38.7 million for the third quarter of 2020. The increase over prior year was driven by continued U.S. commercial expansion and new product introductions.

Gross profit was $65.9 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $35.5 million for the same period of 2020. Gross margin was 90.3% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 91.7% for the same period in the prior year, modestly lower primarily due to a change in inventory management in anticipation of our facility move.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were $68.6 million, compared to $28.3 million for the third quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly driven by an increase in personnel-related expenses as we increased headcount to fund the expansion of the commercial, research and development, clinical and support organization, including a one-time stock-based compensation expense of $8.3 million.

Net loss was $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2021 and net loss per share was $0.06 on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 50.0 million, compared to net income of $6.5 million and net income per share of $0.13 and $0.12 on a weighted-average basic share count of 48.3 million and diluted share count of 55.4 million, respectively, in the same period of the prior year.

Our cash, cash equivalents and investments were $168.6 million as of September 30, 2021.

Inari Medical is updating financial guidance as follows:

For the full-year 2021, revenue guidance is increased to $266 to $268 million, up from our previous guidance of $250 to $255 million.
