May 03, 2017

AUDUBON, Pa., May 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Globus Medical, Inc. (NYSE:GMED), a leading musculoskeletal implant manufacturer, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

  • Worldwide sales were $155.8 million, an increase of 11.9% as reported, or 12.1% in constant currency
  • First quarter net income was $28.7 million, or 18.4% of sales
  • Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.30
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS were $0.32
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was 37.1% of sales

David Paul, Chairman and CEO said, “Our worldwide sales for the first quarter were $155.8 million, an increase of 11.9% over the first quarter of 2016.  Our adjusted EBITDA margins remained at an outstanding 37.1% and we also delivered non GAAP EPS of $0.32.

“We are very pleased with our performance during the first quarter.  We launched three new spine products, received our first trauma 510(k) clearance, had a strong competitive rep hiring quarter, further expanded our in-house manufacturing capacity, and continued to run an extremely efficient organization with best in class adjusted EBITDA margins.  We remain confident in our long-term growth prospects and our ability to sustain industry-leading profitability by continuing to execute on our strategy of rapid product introduction, expansion of our U.S. and international sales footprints, and diligent expense control.”

First quarter sales in the U.S. increased by 1.6% compared to the first quarter of 2016.  International sales increased by 123.4% over the first quarter of 2016 on an as reported basis and 126.5% on a constant currency basis due to the Alphatec acquisition included in the first quarter of 2017.  Sales from the Alphatec acquisition contributed $15.2 million in the quarter. 

First quarter GAAP net income was $28.7 million, an increase of 2.5% over the same period last year.  Diluted EPS for the first quarter was $0.30, as compared to $0.29 for the first quarter 2016.  Non-GAAP diluted EPS for the first quarter was $0.32, compared to $0.30 in the first quarter of 2016.

The company generated net cash provided by operating activities of $53.4 million and non-GAAP free cash flow of $41.9 million in the first quarter.  Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities ended the quarter at $389.2 million.  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, provision for litigation, and acquisition related costs, 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 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.

In addition, for the period ended March 31, 2017 and for other comparative periods, we are presenting non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, which represents net income and diluted earnings per share excluding the provision for litigation, amortization of intangibles, acquisition related costs and the tax effects of such adjustments.  The tax impact of these 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, and the tax effects of such adjustments, which we believe are not reflective of underlying business trends.  Additionally, for the periods ended March 31, 2017 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 liquidity 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 sales growth is calculated by translating current year sales at the same average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior year period.  We believe constant currency sales growth provides insight to the comparative increase or decrease in period 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 sales growth are not calculated in conformity with U.S. GAAP within the meaning of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.  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 sales growth may differ from that of other companies and therefore may not be comparable.  Additionally, we have recast prior periods for non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share.
