Margins

Gross profit in the reported quarter was $94.6 million, up 26.3% year over year. As a percentage of revenues, the gross margin in the quarter was 87.8%, down 230 basis points. Addition of new products to the FlowTriever system drove cost of goods sold.

Research and development expenses were $20.4 million, up 9% from the year-ago quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $80.1 million, up 47.1% on a year-over-year basis.

Operating loss totaled $5.8 million against the year-ago quarter’s operating income of $1.75 million.

Financial Position

The company exited the fourth quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $326.4 million, up from $319.2 million on a sequential basis.

2023 Revenue Guidance

For 2023, the company expects revenues in the range of $470 million to $480 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $476.5 million.

Our Take

Inari Medical exited the fourth quarter on a strong note, wherein both earnings and revenues beat the consensus mark. Apart from treating a large number of patients in the quarter under review, the company made substantial progress across all its growth drivers. The company’s plans to launch several products later this year buoy optimism.

However, the incurrence of operating loss remains a concern. Contraction in gross margin is a woe.
