Read MoreHide Full Article

Revenue Details
The company reported revenues of $92.7 million, which surged 46.2% from the prior-year quarter. The top line outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.3%. Product introductions and continued U.S. commercial expansion contributed to the improvement.
Q2 Highlights
The company derived almost two-thirds of its revenues from the sale of FlowTriever product lines and the rest from sales of ClotTriever product lines.

Gross profit in the reported quarter was $82.4 million, up 40.6% year over year. As a percentage of revenues, the gross margin in the quarter was 88.8%, down 360 basis points (bps).
Research and development expenses were $18.6 million, up 59.7% from the year-ago quarter. Meanwhile, selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $73.2 million, up 70.5% on a year-over-year basis.

Inari Medical, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The company exited the second quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $330.5 million, down from $338.7 million on a sequential basis.
Net cash used by operating activities at the end of the second quarter was $12.2 million, compared to $16.1 million net cash provided by operating activities in the prior-year quarter.
2022 Revenue Outlook
For 2022, the company reiterated its guidance for revenues in the range of $360 million to $370 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $362.92 million.
Our Take
Inari Medical exited the second 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 on 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.
In a separate press release, Inari announced the transition of its chief executive officer (CEO). Effective Jan 1, 2023, Drew Hykes will succeed the current CEO — Bill Hoffman. Hykes will also join Inari’s board of directors effectively. Hoffman will continue to serve on the board.
