“In addition to our healthy financial performance, there are many important achievements worth highlighting.

Both achievements represent significant milestones for the company and should drive many years of strong growth in Europe. Third, we received FDA approval for the Inspire V neurostimulation system, marking an important milestone for the future of Inspire therapy. Lastly, we authorized a share repurchase program of up to $150.0 million, the first in company history, as we believe the repurchase of our common stock represents an attractive investment opportunity,” concluded Mr. Herbert.
