U.S. revenue mix and market challenges, economic conditions and guidance adjustment, impact of tariffs on pricing strategy, investment in R&D and marketing, market conditions and economic impact are the key contradictions discussed in InMode's latest 2025Q1 earnings call.



Revenue and Market Dynamics:
- InMode generated $77.9 million in revenue for Q1 2025, representing a 3% decrease compared to the same period last year.
- This decrease was attributed to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and soft consumer demand, particularly impacting elective procedures.

Regional Revenue Variation:
- International sales outside the U.S. accounted for $38 million, or 49% of sales, a 1% increase compared to Q1 last year, with Europe being the largest revenue contributor outside the U.S.
- The U.S. revenue share decreased to 50%, reflecting stronger headwinds in the U.S. market. The international markets are expected to grow, supporting further geographical diversification.

Operational Costs and Profitability:
- GAAP operating expenses decreased by 1% year-over-year to $45.3 million, aligning with a 2% increase in non-GAAP operating expenses to $43.1 million.
- The decline in operating margins from 23% to 20% was due to increased expenses and the impact of macroeconomic conditions on sales.

Capital Allocation and Shareholder Returns:
- Over the past 12 months, InMode returned more than $412 million to shareholders through share purchases, representing approximately 27% of their total capital.
- Despite the macroeconomic challenges, InMode remains committed to delivering shareholder value and strategic capital allocation, including potential dividends and strategic M&A.
