Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

 

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota — August 7, 2018 — Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE: INSP) (“Inspire”), a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative and minimally invasive solutions for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

 

Recent Business Highlights

 

·                  Revenues of $10.9 million in the second quarter of 2018, an 81% increase over the same quarter last year and provides full year 2018 revenue guidance to be in a range of $42.8 million to $44.0 million

·                  Activated 15 new U.S. medical centers in the second quarter of 2018, bringing the total to 168 U.S. medical centers implanting Inspire therapy

·                  Aetna issued a policy decision to provide coverage to its approximately 22 million members for Inspire therapy

·                  Received approval from Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for Inspire therapy to treat moderate to severe OSA in Japan

 

“We are extremely pleased with our continued strong growth in revenues in the second quarter,” said Tim Herbert, President and Chief Executive Officer of Inspire Medical Systems.  “These results demonstrate the strong and growing adoption of Inspire therapy by physicians and patients as a highly differentiated solution for the treatment of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.  In order to drive further growth, we are focused on increasing patient flow at existing medical centers, training and activating new medical centers, and adding territory managers in the U.S.”

 

“We were also excited to recently receive a positive national coverage decision for Inspire therapy from Aetna, a leading U.S. health plan that provides coverage for approximately 22 million members,” continued Mr. Herbert. “The team continues to focus on establishing reimbursement, both with positive coverage policies as well as supporting centers on obtaining individual prior authorization approvals.”

 

Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

 

Revenue was $10.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018, an 81% increase from $6.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017.  The increase in sales of our Inspire system reflects greater market penetration in existing territories, expansion into new territories and increased physician and patient awareness.

 

Gross profit was $8.8 million for the second quarter of 2018, an increase of 89% from $4.7 million in the corresponding prior year period.  Gross margin was 81%, as compared to 77% in the corresponding prior year period.  The gross margin improvement was primarily due to an excess inventory charge of the previous generation system in the second quarter of 2017 in anticipation of the U.S. commercial release of the Inspire IV system.

 



 

Operating expenses were $14.5 million for the second quarter of 2018, as compared to $9.1 million in the corresponding prior year period, an increase of 60%.  This increase was primarily due to larger employee headcount associated with the expansion of our U.S. and European sales organization, as well as increased marketing and general and administrative expenses.

 

Net loss was $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2018, as compared to $4.8 million in the corresponding prior year period.

 

As of June 30, 2018, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $124.0 million.  The cash position reflects the completion of Inspire’s initial public offering on May 7, 2018, raising $112.0 million of net proceeds after underwriting fees and other expenses.

 

2018 Financial Outlook

 

Inspire expects full year 2018 revenue to be in a range of $42.8 million to $44.0 million, representing growth of 50% to 54% over full year 2017 revenue.
