Current report

Revenue generated outside of the U.S. was $9.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $1.9 million, or 23.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Revenue growth outside the U.S. was primarily due to increased market penetration, and, we believe, increased physician and patient awareness of our Inspire system.

Current report

Gross margin was 84.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 84.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was lower primarily due to excess inventory component charges discussed above, partially offset by increased sales volume.

Current report

Revenue increased $58.5 million, or 16.3%, to $418.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $359.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was attributable to a $57.2 million increase in sales of our Inspire system in the U.S and an increase of $1.3 million outside of the U.S. Overall revenue growth was primarily due to increased market penetration, and, we believe, increased physician and patient awareness of our Inspire system, partially offset by ENT surgeon capacity constraints and some U.S. patients and physicians delaying Inspire therapy until Inspire V is available at their location or while they trial GLP-1 medications.

Current report

Revenue generated in the U.S. was $400.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $57.2 million, or 16.6%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Revenue growth in the U.S. was primarily due to increased market penetration, and, we believe, increased physician and patient awareness of our Inspire system, partially offset by ENT surgeon capacity constraints and some patients and physicians delaying Inspire therapy until Inspire V is available at their location or while they trial GLP-1 medications.

Current report

Revenue generated outside of the U.S. was $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $1.3 million, or 8.2%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Revenue growth outside the U.S. was primarily due to increased market penetration, and, we believe, increased physician and patient awareness of our Inspire system.

Current report

Cost of goods sold increased $10.8 million, or 19.7%, to $65.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $54.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to product costs associated with the higher sales volume of our Inspire system experienced during the first half of 2025, and to a lesser extent, the $2.1 million charge associated with excess components related to Inspire IV.

Current report

Gross margin decreased to 84.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 84.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was lower primarily due to the excess inventory component charges discussed above, somewhat offset by increased sales volume.

Current report

SG&A expenses increased $46.1 million, or 17.9%, to $303.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $257.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The primary driver of this change was an increase of $35.6 million in compensation, including salaries, commissions, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related expenses, mainly as a result of increased headcount. In addition, general corporate costs increased $5.3 million primarily due to legal fees, depreciation expense, computer equipment and software expense, and consulting fees. Also contributing to the increase were travel expenses, which increased by $3.6 million, and marketing costs, which increased by $1.6 million.

Current report

Other income, net decreased by $5.0 million, to $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The change was primarily due to an impairment charge of $4.0 million on one of our strategic investments which occurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $2.3 million in interest and dividend income due to lower cash, cash equivalents and investment balances, partially offset by an increase of $1.3 million in foreign currency translation and remeasurement gains.

Current report

•a $44.6 million increase in accounts receivable, a majority of which is due to a temporary delay in the delivery timing of customer invoices following the implementation of a new invoice portal and delivery process, which has since been resolved, and higher sales which occurred during June 2025;

Previous report

Revenue generated outside of the U.S. was $7.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 6.4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2023, not having received EU MDR certification of our silicone-based stimulation lead and the resulting shortage of polyurethane-based stimulation leads had an estimated adverse impact on European revenue during that period of approximately $4.0 million. The higher revenue experienced during the first quarter of 2024 was partially due to the recovery of most of the estimated $4.0 million of revenue opportunity from the fourth quarter of 2023.

Reworded paragraphs (36)

Previous wording

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 96.2% of our revenue was derived in the U.S. and 3.8% was derived outside of the U.S. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Current wording

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, 95.8% of our revenue was derived in the U.S. and 4.2% was derived outside of the U.S. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Previous wording

We rely on third-party suppliers to manufacture our Inspire system and its components. Many of these suppliers are currently single source suppliers. Currently, all of our manufacturing is done in the U.S. and most components for our Inspire system are sourced in the U.S. We have experienced supply disruptions in the past. During the third quarter of 2023, we experienced an inventory supply issue related to our polyurethane-based stimulation leads, one component of the Inspire system used only in the European market at that time. In 2022, the FDA approved our silicone-based stimulation and sensing leads in the U.S., which replaced the polyurethane versions of the leads, and we stopped manufacturing polyurethane leads. We obtained certification under the EU MDR in July 2024, and silicone leads may now be marketed throughout the EU. During the fourth quarter of 2023 and extending into early 2024, a delay in EU MDR certification and the shortage of polyurethane-based stimulation leads caused delays to implant procedures which adversely affected our business in Europe, including a reduction in our European revenue, and thereby our consolidated revenue.

Previous wording

We typically seek to maintain higher levels of inventory to protect ourselves from supply interruptions, and, as a result, we are subject to the risk of inventory obsolescence and expiration, which could lead to inventory impairment charges.

Current wording

We typically seek to maintain higher levels of inventory to protect ourselves from supply interruptions, and, as a result, we are subject to the risk of inventory obsolescence, excess, and expiration, which could lead to inventory impairment charges. For example, during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a charge of $2.1 million for excess component parts related to our Inspire IV system.

Previous wording

Since our inception in 2007, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of our Inspire system, private placements of our convertible preferred securities, amounts borrowed under our former credit facility, and equity offerings of our common stock. We have devoted significant resources to research and development activities related to our Inspire system, including clinical and regulatory initiatives to obtain marketing approval, and sales and marketing activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated revenue of $201.3 million with a gross margin of 84.7% and had a net income of $3.0 million compared to revenue of $164.0 million with a gross margin of 84.9% and a net loss of $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2025 was $288.9 million.

Previous wording

We have invested heavily in product development. Our research and development activities have been centered on driving continuous improvements to our Inspire therapy. We have also made significant investments in clinical studies to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our Inspire therapy and to support regulatory submissions. We continue to make investments in research and development efforts to develop our future generations of Inspire systems and support our future regulatory submissions for expanded indications and for new markets such as additional European countries and the Asia Pacific region. For example, in August 2024, we received approval from the FDA for our next generation Inspire system ("Inspire V"), which we expect to fully launch in the U.S. in 2025.

For example, in August 2024, we received approval from the FDA for our next generation Inspire V system ("Inspire V,") which we fully launched in the U.S. in May 2025.

Previous wording

Beginning late in the first quarter and continuing into the second quarter of 2025, in connection with awareness gained during our ongoing limited market release of the Inspire V system, we began to observe that some patients and physicians are delaying Inspire therapy until Inspire V is available at their location. Additionally, beginning late in the first quarter and continuing into the second quarter of 2025, we began to observe that some of our customers are using their existing inventory of our Inspire IV system ("Inspire IV") prior to purchasing Inspire V systems. While we cannot quantify the impact at this time or predict if these patterns may change, we anticipate that the occurrence of patients and physicians delaying Inspire therapy until Inspire V is available and the destocking by some of our customers of their existing Inspire IV inventory may impact our consolidated revenue until Inspire V is fully launched and our customers have used their existing Inspire IV inventory, which is expected to primarily occur in the second quarter of 2025. We plan to continue to make Inspire IV systems available in the U.S. after the Inspire V launch as inventory levels allow, and outside the U.S., subject to our receiving the appropriate regulatory clearances for Inspire V in foreign markets.

Current wording

Beginning late in the first quarter and continuing into the second quarter of 2025, in connection with awareness gained during our ongoing limited market release of the Inspire V system, we began to observe that some patients and physicians are delaying Inspire therapy until Inspire V is available at their location. Although Inspire V was fully launched in the U.S. in May 2025, an implanting physician and center must meet training, contracting, and onboarding criteria prior to purchasing and implanting Inspire V. We expect to continue to see patients delay Inspire therapy until centers meet these criteria and Inspire V is available at their location through the end of 2025. Additionally, beginning late in the first quarter and continuing into the second quarter of 2025, we began to observe that some of our customers were using their existing inventory of our Inspire IV system ("Inspire IV") prior to purchasing Inspire V systems. We continued to observe this during the remainder of the second quarter and into the beginning of the third quarter of 2025. While we cannot quantify the impact at this time or predict if these patterns may change, we anticipate that the occurrence of patients and physicians delaying Inspire therapy and the destocking by some of our customers of their existing Inspire IV inventory may impact our consolidated revenue until Inspire V is fully available at our customer locations and our customers have used their existing Inspire IV inventory, which we expect to primarily occur in the second half of 2025. We have continued to make Inspire IV systems available in the U.S. since the Inspire V launch and expect to continue to make Inspire IV systems available moving forward as inventory levels allow, and outside the U.S., subject to our receiving the appropriate regulatory clearances for Inspire V in foreign markets.

Previous wording

Our direct-to-consumer marketing program's goals are therapy awareness, connecting patients with providers, and supporting the patient through their path to Inspire from start to finish. Our investments in advertising are designed to increase patient awareness and encourage them to visit our website. On our website, patients can explore educational materials and videos about sleep apnea, learn about the benefits of Inspire therapy, find physician and clinical site contact information, and stay informed about community awareness events. We also use the Inspire Sleep app as a valuable tool for patient education. Moving forward, we plan to refine and optimize our outreach strategies, with an emphasis on expanding digital advertising efforts to reach more qualified patients. We expect our direct-to-consumer expenditures to increase slightly over 2024 levels during the remainder of 2025.

Previous wording

Since 2023, glucagon-like peptide 1 ("GLP-1s"), a class of drug indicated for diabetes and obesity, has continued to gain popularity as a weight-loss drug. In late 2024, Zepbound (tirzepatide), which was FDA approved for weight loss in 2023, was also FDA approved for treatment of OSA in patients with obesity and moderate to severe OSA. If GLP-1s are used to treat OSA in an indication for which Inspire therapy is approved, demand for our Inspire system for patients with that indication could be reduced. OSA is a multifactorial disease with many independent factors including age, gender, weight, and neck circumference. Inspire is designed to address antero-posterior airway collapse, also known as tongue base collapse. In contrast, patients with a higher BMI are subject to a larger neck circumference and present predominantly with lateral-wall collapse. A combination of tongue base collapse and lateral wall collapse is identified as a complete concentric collapse of the upper airway. Inspire is contraindicated for complete concentric collapse. In April 2024, Eli Lilly and Company ("Lilly") published headline results from its SURMOUNT-OSA trial demonstrating a 50.7% reduction in Apnea-Hypopnea Index ("AHI") for patients in the therapy arm of the study using tirzepatide, a GLP-1 injection. Subsequently, in June 2024, Lilly published additional results from its SURMOUNT-OSA trial demonstrating 43% of participants treated with tirzepatide at the highest dose met criteria for disease resolution. In this context, "disease resolution" means achieving an AHI of fewer than 5 events per hour, or an AHI of 5 to 14 events per hour and an Epworth Sleepiness Scale ("ESS") score of ≤10. ESS is a standard questionnaire designed to assess excessive daytime sleepiness. Given a baseline AHI of 50.3, and based on these results, we believe that most patients enrolled in the study will continue to have residual moderate to severe OSA that will require treatment and fall within Inspire’s FDA-approved indication. While weight loss may help reduce a patient’s AHI and other OSA symptoms, numerous other studies have shown that weight loss alone will not resolve OSA for the vast majority of patients. We expect GLP-1s may help patients address their lateral wall collapse, making them a potential candidate for Inspire therapy to the extent they also have tongue base collapse. Based on our ongoing ADHERE patient registry, the average BMI of patients treated with Inspire therapy is 29 and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine guidelines recommend weight loss prior to surgery for patients with BMI over 35 and nonsurgical solutions for patients with BMI over 40. While we cannot quantify the impact, we believe that in the long term there could be a benefit to our business as a result of GLP-1s reducing the BMI of our prospective patients and increasing the overall number of eligible patients for our Inspire therapy, although there can be no assurance of such benefit at this time.

Previous wording

The global economy continues to experience increased inflationary pressures and market instability. Higher interest rates and capital costs, higher shipping costs and new or increased tariffs, increased costs of labor, international conflicts and terrorism, and weakening foreign currency exchange rates are creating additional economic challenges. These conditions may cause our customers to decrease or delay orders for our products.

These conditions may cause our customers to decrease or delay orders for our products.

Previous wording

Our business has grown rapidly in recent years, resulting in substantially increased revenues, and we expect that our business will continue to grow. However, our revenue growth rate has generally declined in recent periods, and it may continue to do so as a result of the difficulty of maintaining growth rates as our revenues increase to higher levels.

Revenue increased $37.3 million, or 22.7%, to $201.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $164.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. These results reflect an increase in sales of our Inspire system of $37.8 million in the U.S. offset by a decrease of $0.5 million outside of the U.S. compared to the same prior year period. Overall revenue growth was primarily due to increased market penetration in existing centers, expansion into new territories and centers, and, we believe, increased physician and patient awareness of our Inspire system, partially offset by ENT surgeon capacity constraints.

Current wording

Revenue increased $21.2 million, or 10.8%, to $217.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $195.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. These results reflect an increase in sales of our Inspire system of $19.3 million in the U.S. and an increase of $1.9 million outside of the U.S. compared to the same prior year period.

Other income, net decreased by $4.8 million, or 82.9%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The change was primarily due to an impairment charge of $4.0 million on one of our strategic investments which occurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.4 million in interest and dividend income due to lower cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances, partially offset by an increase of $0.7 in foreign currency translation and remeasurement gains.

Previous wording

We recorded a provision for incomes taxes of approximately $1.2 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. This change was primarily due to an increase in state and local taxes.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk or decreasing availability. To achieve these objectives, our investment policy allows us to maintain a portfolio of certain types of debt securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, corporations with investment-grade credit ratings, or commercial paper and money market funds issued by the highest quality financial and non-financial companies. At March 31, 2025, we had $268.0 million in U.S. government securities, $75.6 million in corporate debt securities, $29.8 million in money market funds, and $16.6 million in certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and asset-backed securities. See Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report for additional information on our investments.

Previous wording

In the three months ended March 31, 2025, our SG&A expenditures increased significantly over the prior year levels, and we anticipate further increases during 2025. Our SG&A expenditures, primarily for increasing headcount and advertising, may exceed any associated increases in revenues, and therefore would reduce our cash flow from operations. We also anticipate R&D expenses will increase during the remainder of 2025, primarily related to the ongoing development of the SleepSync™ platform and next generation products.

Previous wording

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and investments, which totaled $414.0 million as of March 31, 2025, together with cash flows from operations, will provide liquidity sufficient to meet our cash needs and fund our operations and planned capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will continue to generate cash flows at the same levels achieved in prior periods.

There can be no assurance, however, that our business will continue to generate cash flows at the same levels achieved in prior periods.

Previous wording

Beyond the next 12 months, our cash requirements will depend extensively on the timing of market introduction, and extent of market acceptance of, our Inspire system. Our long-term cash requirements also will be significantly impacted by the level of our investment in commercialization, entry and expansion into new markets, whether we make strategic acquisitions, whether we repurchase more shares of our common stock, and competition. We cannot accurately predict our long-term cash requirements at this time. An extended period of global supply chain and economic disruption could materially affect our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity, and financial condition. We may seek additional sources of liquidity and capital resources through equity or debt financings, such as additional securities offerings or through borrowings under a new credit facility. There can be no assurance that such transactions will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all.

The net cash used in operating activities was $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and consisted of net income of $3.0 million, non-cash charges of $33.7 million, and an increase in net operating assets of $43.4 million. The non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation, which increased mainly as a result of granting more equity awards to a greater number of employees as compared to the same prior-year period. The remainder of the non-cash charges included depreciation and amortization expense which increased with additional purchases of property and equipment, accretion of investment discount due to higher investment balances, a change in the provision for estimated credit losses, and other, net. Operating assets include inventories, which increased as we continue to build inventory levels to support higher sales and the anticipated launch of our next generation Inspire system, and accounts receivable, which decreased slightly due to collections on the higher sales volume we typically experience late in the fourth quarter. Operating assets also include prepaid expenses and other current assets, which decreased compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to various prepaid expenses and prepaid insurance. Operating liabilities include accounts payable, which decreased generally due to the timing of vendor invoice payments, and accrued expenses, which decreased primarily due to the payment of year-end bonuses and commissions.

Current wording

The non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation, which increased mainly as a result of the accelerated recognition of stock-based compensation expense for employees who are retirement eligible in accordance with implementation of changes to the treatment of equity awards under the Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. 2018 Incentive Award Plan upon the holder's death, disability, or retirement, and granting more equity awards to a greater number of employees as compared to the same prior-year period. The remainder of the non-cash charges included depreciation and amortization expense which increased with additional purchases of property and equipment, an impairment of a strategic investment, accretion of investment discount on our available-for-sale investments, a change in the provision for estimated credit losses, and other, net. Operating assets include inventories, which increased as we continue to build inventory levels to support higher sales and the launch of Inspire V, and accounts receivable, which increased primarily due to a temporary delay in the delivery timing of customer invoices following the implementation of a new portal and invoice delivery process, which has since been resolved, and higher sales which occurred during June 2025. Operating assets also include prepaid expenses and other current assets which increased slightly. Operating liabilities include accounts payable, which increased generally due to the timing of vendor invoice payments, and accrued expenses, which decreased primarily due to the payment of year-end bonuses and commissions.

The remainder of the non-cash charges included accretion of investment discount due to higher investment balances, depreciation and amortization expense which increased with additional purchases of property and equipment, non-cash lease expense, stock issued for services rendered, and other, net. Operating assets include inventories, which increased as supply chain constraints eased, and accounts receivable, which decreased due to collections on the higher sales volume we typically experience late in the fourth quarter. Operating assets also include prepaid expenses and other current assets, which decreased slightly compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to various prepaid expenses and prepaid insurance.

The non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation, which increased mainly as a result of granting more equity awards to a greater number of employees as compared to the same prior-year period. The remainder of the non-cash charges included accretion of investment discount due to higher investment balances, depreciation and amortization expense which increased with additional purchases of property and equipment, non-cash lease expense, the benefit for estimated credit losses related primarily to accounts receivable with two healthcare systems, and stock issued for services rendered. Operating assets include inventories, which increased as supply chain constraints eased, and accounts receivable, which decreased due to collections on the higher sales volume we typically experience late in the fourth quarter. Operating assets also include prepaid expenses and other current assets, which increased primarily due to dividends receivable on our investments.
