Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total revenue increased to $301.0 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $270.9 million for the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 11.1%, or 10.9% in constant currency¹. The United States represented 75.2% of total revenue and international represented 24.8% of total revenue for the third quarter of 2024. Revenue from the U.S. increased 16.2% while revenue from our international regions decreased 1.9%, or 2.5% in constant currency¹. Revenue from sales of our global thrombectomy products grew to $204.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 14.0%, or 13.8% in constant currency¹ over the same period a year ago, driven primarily by the sales of our U.S. thrombectomy products which increased by 21.2% over the same period a year ago. Revenue from sales of our global embolization and access products grew to $96.9 million for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 5.5%, or 5.2% in constant currency¹ from the same period a year ago, driven primarily by our U.S. embolization and access products which increased by 5.3% from the same period a year ago.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2024 was $200.3 million, or 66.5% of total revenue compared to $177.7 million, or 65.6% of total revenue, for the third quarter of 2023. Gross margin is impacted by product mix, regional mix, and production initiatives to support demand and create future efficiencies. As such, with favorable product mix, improvement in productivity, and by leveraging our fixed costs on higher volume of new product sales during the year, our gross margin may be positively impacted in the future.

Total operating expenses, including $5.0 million of one-time expenses in connection with the wind down of the Immersive Healthcare business during the third quarter of 2024, were $164.9 million, or 54.8% of total revenue for the third quarter of 2024. This compares to total operating expenses of $165.1 million, or 60.9% of total revenue for the third quarter of 2023, which included a one-time $18.2 million expense associated with the acquisition of in-process research and development ("IPR&D") and a $2.4 million amortization expense of finite lived intangible assets acquired in connection with the Sixense acquisition. Excluding the charges noted above, total non-GAAP operating expenses¹ were $160.0 million, or 53.1% of total revenue, for the third quarter of 2024, and $144.5 million, or 53.3% of total revenue for the third quarter of 2023. R&D expenses were $25.2 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $21.0 million for the third quarter of 2023. SG&A expenses were $139.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $125.9 million for the third quarter of 2023.

Income from operations was $35.4 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to income from operations of $12.6 million for the third quarter of 2023. Excluding one-time expenses in connection with the wind down of the Immersive Healthcare business, non-GAAP income from operations¹ was $40.3 million for the third quarter of 2024. This compares to non-GAAP income from operations of $33.2 million for the third quarter of 2023, which excludes the one-time expense associated with the acquired IPR&D and the amortization expense of finite lived intangible assets acquired in connection with the Sixense acquisition.

Full Year 2024 Financial Outlook

The Company reiterates guidance for total revenue for 2024 to be in the range of $1,180.0 million to $1,200.0 million. The Company now expects the U.S. thrombectomy franchise will grow 24% to 25% year-over-year, compared to 23% to 25% previously. Excluding the impact from the Immersive Healthcare impairments, the Company also continues to expect gross margin expansion in the range of 100 to 150 basis points and total non-GAAP operating margin expansion in the range of 100 to 200 basis points in 2024 compared to full year 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: a) constant currency, b) non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS") and c) adjusted EBITDA.

Constant Currency. The Company's constant currency revenue disclosures estimate the impact of changes in foreign currency rates on the translation of the Company's current period revenue as compared to the applicable comparable period in the prior year. This impact is derived by taking the current local currency revenue and translating it into U.S. dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates used to translate the local currency revenue for the applicable comparable period in the prior year, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current period. It does not include any other effect of changes in foreign currency rates on the Company's results or business.

Non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted EPS. The adjustments to the GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of:

• the effect of the amortization of finite lived intangible assets acquired in connection with the Sixense acquisition over their estimated useful lives;
• the one-time expense associated with the acquisition of IPR&D in the third quarter of 2023;
• the excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation arrangements;
• non-recurring litigation related expenses;
• non-cash long-lived asset impairment related to the impairment of our Immersive Healthcare asset group; and
• one-time expenses in connection with the wind down of the Immersive Healthcare business.

Adjusted EBITDA. The Company's adjusted EBITDA reflects the exclusion from GAAP net income (loss) of:

• non-cash operating charges such as stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment charges;
• non-operating items such as the one-time expense associated with the acquisition of IPR&D, interest income, interest expense, and provision for (benefit from) income taxes;
• non-recurring litigation related expenses; and
• one-time expenses in connection with the wind down of the Immersive Healthcare business.

Full reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is set forth in the tables below.

Our management believes the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this press release are useful to investors in assessing the operating performance of our business and provide meaningful comparisons to prior periods and thus a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Specifically, we consider the change in constant currency revenue as a useful metric as it provides an alternative framework for assessing how our underlying business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. We consider non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted EPS useful metrics as they provide an alternative framework for assessing how our underlying business performed excluding non-cash long-lived asset impairment related to the impairment of our Immersive Healthcare asset group, the one-time expense associated with the acquisition of IPR&D in the third quarter of 2023, the amortization expense of finite lived intangible assets acquired in connection with the Sixense acquisition, the excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation arrangements, expenses related to certain litigation matters that we have determined are not a normal or recurring part of our business, including settlement costs and legal fees, and one-time expenses in connection with the wind down of the Immersive Healthcare business. Further, we consider adjusted EBITDA a useful metric as it provides an alternative framework for assessing how our underlying business performed excluding non-cash operating charges such as stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment charges, non-operating items such as the one-time expense associated with the acquisition of IPR&D, interest income, interest expense, and provision for (benefit from) income taxes, non-recurring litigation related expenses, and one-time expenses in connection with the wind down of the Immersive Healthcare business.

The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to GAAP measures. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
