“Globus Medical was founded twenty years ago with a small group of talented engineers who had a vision of improving care for patients with musculoskeletal disease,” said Dan Scavilla, President and CEO. “I’m proud to announce that in 2022, Globus Medical exceeded $1 billion in net sales. The journey from startup to $1 billion in sales is certainly worthy of note and particularly so at this milestone anniversary of the company’s founding. The fourth quarter of 2022 was a record-setting quarter, with record-breaking total sales, U.S. Spine sales, and Enabling Technologies sales. Our future continues to look bright as we improve the lives of patients, surgeons, employees and shareholders by working to further achieve our vision. We plan to build on our legacy of product innovation, superior customer services, and operational execution this year and in the future as we continue to help patients with musculoskeletal disease.”

Worldwide net sales for the fourth quarter were $274.5 million, an as-reported increase of 9.8% over the fourth quarter of 2021, and an increase of 11.7% on a constant currency basis.  U.S. net sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased by 9.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. International net sales increased by 11.4% over the fourth quarter of 2021 on an as-reported basis, and an increase of 24.2% on a constant currency basis.

Worldwide net sales for the full year of 2022 were $1,022.8 million, an increase of 6.8% as compared to the full year of 2021, and an increase of 8.2% on a constant currency basis. U.S. net sales for the full year of 2022 increased by 6.4% compared to the full year of 2021. International net sales increased by 8.9% over the full year of 2021 on an as-reported basis, and an increase of 19.1% on a constant currency basis.

GAAP net income for the fourth quarter was $50.1 million, an increase of 231.4% over the same period in the prior year, driven primarily by higher net sales and the acquisition of in-process research and development during the fourth quarter in 2021. Diluted EPS for the fourth quarter was $0.49, compared to $0.14 for the fourth quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $0.59, compared to $0.49 in the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of 20.0% driven primarily by higher net sales.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $178.5 million, and non-GAAP free cash flow was $104.4 million for the full year of 2022. The Company remains debt free.

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 related costs/licensing, and acquisition of in-process research and development, 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. 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, 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. Acquisition of in-process research and development represents the expensing of acquired assets with no alternative future use and related fees.

In addition, for the period ended December 31, 2022 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 related costs/licensing, acquisition of in-process research and development, and the tax effects of all of the foregoing adjustments. 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 litigation, amortization of intangibles, acquisition related costs/licensing, acquisition of in-process research and development, and the tax effects of all of the foregoing adjustments, which we believe are not reflective of underlying business trends. Additionally, for the period ended December 31, 2022 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, 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, free cash flow and constant currency net sales growth may differ from that of other companies and therefore may not be comparable.
