Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. Board Authorizes Share Repurchase Program
07 August 2024 - 6:02AM
Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE: INSP) (Inspire, or the
company), a medical technology company focused on the development
and commercialization of innovative, minimally invasive solutions
for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), today announced
that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up
to $150.0 million of the company’s outstanding shares of
common stock.
“I am pleased to announce our intention to purchase up to $150.0
million of Inspire common stock - the first share repurchase by
Inspire in its history,” said Tim Herbert, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. “During the second quarter, we made significant
progress toward sustained profitability while continuing to deliver
strong revenue growth. The continued financial strength of the
company allows us to return capital to stockholders even as we
continue to invest for future growth. Furthermore, we believe that
our growth prospects are substantial, highlighted by the recent FDA
approval of Inspire V therapy system, and that our stock is
undervalued. As a result, we believe that the repurchase of our
common stock represents an attractive investment opportunity.”
In determining the amount of capital to allocate to share
repurchases, the company considers, among other things, its
historical and expected business performance and cash and liquidity
position, as well as global economic and market conditions and the
market price of the company’s common stock. The timing, manner,
price, and amount of any repurchases under the share repurchase
program are determined by the company in its discretion. Purchases
may be effected through open market transactions, privately
negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment
banking institutions, or other means. The company is not obligated
to repurchase any specific number of shares and the program may be
modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. The share
repurchase program will expire on August 5, 2026, subject to the
earlier termination or extension by the Board, in its sole
discretion and without prior notice, or until such time that the
funds designated for the stock repurchase program are depleted.
