In Q3, the company's revenue jumped 57% year over year to $40 million. Growth was "driven primarily by the continued expansion of InMode's direct sales organization in the U.S.," according to the earnings release. Net income surged 87% to $16.2 million, which translated to earnings per share rising 62% to $0.42. This result easily beat the Wall Street consensus estimate of $0.30.
