    Source: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 07 May 2024 16:15:00   America/New_York

    AUDUBON, Pa., May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Globus Medical, Inc. (NYSE: GMED), a leading musculoskeletal solutions company, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

    • Worldwide net sales were $606.7 million, an increase of 119.3%, or 119.8% on a constant currency basis
    • GAAP net loss for the quarter was $7.1 million
    • GAAP diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was ($0.05) and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.72
    • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $166.6 million, or 27.5% of net sales

    “Since the NuVasive merger closed in September of last year, we worked aggressively to execute our integration strategy and are making significant progress towards rapidly reaching steady state. I am pleased with the first quarter results delivered by strong teamwork and partnership throughout our organization. Surgeons and hospitals are responding favorably to our best-in-class product offering of clinically advanced devices and enabling technologies and worldwide sales reflect the long-term potential of our company,” said Dan Scavilla, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased with the engagement and retention levels of our surgeon customers and sales force and continue to see great opportunities to improve patient care. We are now one company with one galvanizing mission of being the most innovative musculoskeletal technology company in the world. I believe the potential for Globus has never been greater, as we continue to redefine surgery with procedural solutions built around enabling technology.”

    “Our first quarter was focused on driving salesforce retention and alignment, process standardization and delivering on actions to improve operating efficiencies moving ahead, while achieving planned cost synergies,” commented Keith Pfeil, COO-CFO. “As we are now almost nine months into operating as a combined company, I am pleased to see us executing against our integration objectives and realizing the early stages of our vision. We continue to be well positioned in delivering against our commitments for the year.”

    Worldwide net sales for the first quarter of 2024 were $606.7 million, an as-reported increase of 119.3% over the first quarter of 2023. U.S. net sales for the first quarter of 2024 increased by 106.3% compared to the first quarter of 2023. International net sales increased by 190.7% over the first quarter of 2023 on an as-reported basis, and an increase of 194.1% on a constant currency basis. Net Sales increases were driven by the addition of NuVasive, as well as increased volume of spine product sales and enabling technology products and services.

    GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $7.1 million, a decrease of 114.5% over the same period in the prior year. Diluted EPS for the first quarter was ($0.05), compared to $0.48 for the first quarter of 2023. The GAAP net loss was primarily driven by the amortization costs of purchase-accounting-related fair-value step ups and restructuring costs. Non-GAAP diluted EPS for the first quarter of 2024, which excludes, among other costs, both acquisition related and restructuring costs, was $0.72, compared to $0.53 in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 36.4%.

    Net cash provided by operating activities was $52.4 million, and non-GAAP free cash flow was $23.8 million for the first quarter of 2024.

    2024 Annual Guidance

    The Company today updated its guidance for full year 2024 revenue in the range of $2.460 to $2.485 billion, and non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share in the range of $2.75 to $2.85. This updated guidance is an increase over the prior full year 2024 revenue guidance of $2.450 to $2.475 billion, and non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share guidance of $2.68 to $2.70.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    To supplement our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures. For example, non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, which represents net income before interest income, net and other non-operating expenses, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, provision for litigation, acquisition of in-process research and development, merger and acquisition related costs/licensing, restructuring related costs, certain foreign currency acquisition-related impacts, and gains and losses from strategic investments, is useful as an additional measure of operating performance, and particularly as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period, as it is reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance, and it removes the effect of our capital structure, asset base, income taxes and interest income and expense. Our management also uses non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections. Provision for litigation represents costs incurred for litigation settlements or unfavorable verdicts when the loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, or in the case of a favorable settlement, when income is realized. Merger and acquisition related costs/licensing represents the change in fair value of business-acquisition-related contingent consideration; costs related to integrating recently acquired businesses, including but not limited to costs to exit or convert contractual obligations, severance, retention bonus, duplicative costs and information system conversion; and specific costs related to the consummation of the acquisition process such as banker fees, legal fees, and other acquisition related professional fees, as well as one-time licensing fees. Restructuring related costs include severance, retention bonus, accelerated stock-based compensation expense, and costs associated with consolidating facilities. Acquisition of in-process research and development represents the expensing of acquired assets with no alternative future use and related fees. We also adjusted for certain foreign currency impacts related to the acquisition costs and gains/losses on strategic investments within other assets as we believe these impacts are not a measure of our operating performance.

    In addition, for the period ended March 31, 2024 and for other comparative periods, we are presenting non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share, which represent net income and diluted earnings per share excluding the provision for litigation, amortization of intangibles, acquisition of in-process research and development, merger and acquisition related costs/licensing, restructuring related costs, certain foreign currency impacts, gains and losses from strategic investments, the impact of dilution attributable to the Convertible Notes, and the tax effects of all of the foregoing adjustments. We also present Non-GAAP gross profit, which excludes the impacts of any inventory acquisition-related costs within cost of goods sold. The tax effect adjustment represents the tax effect of the pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments excluded from non-GAAP net income. The tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments is calculated based on the consolidated effective tax rate on a GAAP basis, applied to the non-GAAP adjustments, unless the underlying item has a materially different tax treatment, in which case the estimated tax rate applicable to the adjustment is used. We believe these non-GAAP measures are also useful indicators of our operating performance, and particularly as additional measures of comparative operating performance from period to period as they remove the effects of the foregoing items, which we believe are not reflective of underlying business trends. Additionally, for the period ended March 31, 2024 and for other comparative periods, we also define the non-GAAP measure of free cash flow as the net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for the impact of restricted cash, less the cash impact of purchases of property and equipment. We believe that this financial measure provides meaningful information for evaluating our overall financial performance for comparative periods as it facilitates an assessment of funds available to satisfy current and future obligations and fund acquisitions. Furthermore, the non-GAAP measure of constant currency net sales growth is calculated by translating current year net sales at the same average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior year period. We believe constant currency net sales growth provides insight to the comparative increase or decrease in period net sales, in dollar and percentage terms, excluding the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

    Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP gross profit, free cash flow and constant currency net sales growth are not calculated in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures do not include certain expenses that may be necessary to evaluate our liquidity or operating results. Our definitions of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP gross profit, free cash flow and constant currency net sales growth may differ from that of other companies and therefore may not be comparable.
