Management Comments

“While we have a solid market position, our fourth quarter results were impacted by stronger than expected headwinds in the aesthetics industry that were intensified by broader macroeconomic challenges,” said Moshe Mizrahy, Chief Executive Officer of InMode. “We have taken decisive actions to navigate this environment, and also ensure we’re well positioned to benefit when market conditions recover. To that end, we remain committed to leading through innovation. Our recently launched Ignite and OptimasMAX platforms are in the early stages of generating revenue, and we expect to see greater traction from customers as the year progresses. In 2025, we also plan to launch two new platforms targeting the medical aesthetic and wellness markets, where we see opportunity. Thanks to the efforts of our global team, we remain steadfast in delivering excellent support and innovative technologies to our customers.”

Yair Malca, Chief Financial Officer of InMode, added, “The strength of our balance sheet provides us the financial flexibility to evaluate the optimal path to allocate capital to drive enhanced shareholder value. We are pleased to report that during the fourth quarter of 2024, we completed our fourth share repurchase program that was originally announced in September 2024, repurchasing 7.68 million shares for $135 million, out of which $120 million was repurchased during the fourth quarter of 2024. Our total capital return to shareholders for fiscal year 2024 was more than $285 million, executed via share repurchases representing approximately 19% of our share capital and more than double our fiscal year 2024 free cash flow.

On February 3^rd^, our Board of Directors approved another tax-efficient share repurchase program of up to 10% of our total shares outstanding, expected to be executed over the next three to six months. Together with our 2024 share repurchases, this represents approximately 27% of share capital to be bought within less than 15 months.

Given the strength of our free cash flow and confidence in our business, we are also exploring, in consultation with financial, legal and tax advisors, returning significant additional capital by the end of the year to create further shareholder value. We will continue to carefully review and evaluate our approach to capital allocation, with a focus on ensuring we deliver enhanced value for all shareholders and will continue our dialogue with shareholders on this important process.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results

Total GAAP revenues for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $97.9 million, a decrease of 23% compared to $126.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Total revenues for 2024 were $394.8 million, a decrease of 20% compared to 2023.

GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 79%, compared to 84% for the fourth quarter of 2023. *Non-GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 80%, compared to 84% for the fourth quarter of 2023. GAAP gross margin for 2024 was 80%, compared to 84% for 2023. *Non-GAAP gross margin for 2024 was 81%, compared to 84% for 2023.

GAAP operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 28%, compared to 40% in the fourth quarter of 2023. *Non-GAAP operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 32%, compared to 45% for the fourth quarter of 2023. GAAP operating margin for 2024 was 29%, compared to 40% in 2023. *Non-GAAP operating margin for 2024 was 33%, compared to 45% in the full year of 2023. This decrease was primarily attributable to higher sales and marketing expenses, primarily a result of recent management changes, as well as additional investments in trade shows and workshop activities.

InMode reported GAAP net income of $82.8 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $55.2 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023. On a *non-GAAP basis, InMode reported net income of $31.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $61.5 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023. GAAP net income was $181.3 million, or $2.25 per diluted share, in 2024, compared to GAAP net income of $197.9 million, or $2.30 per diluted share, in 2023. On a *non-GAAP basis, InMode reported net income of $142.7 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, in the full year of 2024, compared to net income of $221.5 million, or $2.57 per diluted share, for the full year in 2023.


As of December 31, 2024, InMode had cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term bank deposits of $596.5 million.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s U.S. subsidiary has an accumulated federal tax loss carryforward of approximately $203 million and a state tax loss carryforward of approximately $165.5 million, primarily arising from employee stock option exercises that generated tax deductions exceeding recognized compensation expenses. After assessing cumulative income in recent years and the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company released a valuation allowance related to its U.S. net deferred tax assets, and as a result recorded a deferred tax asset of $55.1 million.

2025 Financial Outlook

Management provided an outlook for the full year of 2025 ending December 31, 2025. Based on our current estimates, management expects:

Revenues between $395 to $405 million
*Non-GAAP gross margin between 80% and 82%
--- ---
*Non-GAAP income from operations to be between $130 million and $135 million
--- ---
*Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share between $1.95 to $1.99
--- ---

This outlook is not a guarantee of future performance, and stockholders should not rely on such forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements” for additional information.

*Please refer to “Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for important information about non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation between U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP Statement of Income is provided following the financial statements that are included in this release. Non-GAAP results exclude share-based compensation and tax benefit adjustments.

However, these estimates are based on management’s current estimates, which may be updated.

The Current Situation in Israel

Regarding the current situation in Israel, Israel and Hamas recently agreed to a ceasefire agreement, the first phase of such ceasefire began on January 19, 2025. With the ceasefire agreement in place, we remain confident in our ability to continue our R&D and manufacturing activities while maintaining the safety and well-being of our employees.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to InMode’s operating results presented in accordance with GAAP, this release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating margin. Because these measures are used in InMode’s internal analysis of financial and operating performance, management believes they provide investors with greater transparency of its view of InMode’s economic performance. Management also believes the presentation of these measures, when analyzed in conjunction with InMode’s GAAP operating results, allows investors to more effectively evaluate and compare InMode’s performance to that of its peers, although InMode’s presentation of its non-GAAP measures may not be strictly comparable to the similarly titled measures of other companies. Schedules reconciling each of these non-GAAP financial measures are provided as a supplement to this release.
