Globus Medical Reports First Quarter 2019 Results

AUDUBON, PA, May 2, 2019: Globus Medical, Inc. (NYSE:GMED), a leading musculoskeletal solutions company, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Worldwide sales were $182.9 million, an increase of 4.9% as reported
First quarter net income was $33.2 million, a decrease of 16.0%
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.33 and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.36
Non-GAAP diluted EPS decreased 13.4% compared to first quarter of 2018
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was 31.1% of sales

“Our first quarter results demonstrate continued strong momentum in the Musculoskeletal Solutions portion of our business, growing at 8.7% on an as reported basis and 9.6% in constant currency, well above the overall market," said Dave Demski, President and CEO. "Enabling Technologies contributed $7.2 million and the impressive level of surgeon adoption in accounts with our ExcelsiusGPS® robotic system continues to validate our vision of the future of computer assisted spine surgery."

Worldwide sales for the first quarter were $182.9 million, an increase of 4.9% over the first quarter of 2018 on an as-reported basis and 5.7% on a constant currency basis. First quarter sales in the U.S., including robotics, increased by 1.3% as quarterly seasonality and longer sales cycles dampened robotic sales compared to the first quarter of 2018. International sales increased by 23.0% over the first quarter of 2018 on an as-reported basis and 27.9% on a constant currency basis.

First quarter GAAP net income was $33.2 million, a decrease of 16.0% over the same period last year. Diluted EPS for the first quarter was $0.33, as compared to $0.39 for the first quarter 2018. Non-GAAP diluted EPS for the first quarter was $0.36, compared to $0.41 in the first quarter of 2018, a decrease of 13.4%.

The company generated net cash provided by operating activities of $39.2 million and non-GAAP free cash flow of $11.0 million in the first quarter, and ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $621.5 million. The company remains debt free.

The company today announced Rob Liptak stepped down from the Globus Medical Board of Directors effective May 1, 2019. “Rob joined the Board as part of our Series E financing in 2007 led by Clarus Ventures. He has been a valuable contributor to our success for nearly twelve years and we will miss him”, said Mr. Demski. Mr. Liptak has assumed a role that precludes him from serving on public company Boards. The company also announced the appointment of Steve Zarrilli to the Globus Medical Board of Directors, effective May 1, 2019. Mr. Zarrilli is currently President and CEO of University Science Center in Philadelphia, the oldest and largest urban research hub in the US. Prior to his current role, Mr. Zarrilli was President and CEO of Safeguard Scientifics, a public company that provides growth equity capital to technology and healthcare enterprises.

2019 Annual Guidance
The company today confirmed guidance for full year 2019 sales of $770 million and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.72.

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, provisions for litigation, and acquisition related costs/licensing, and net gain from the sale of assets, 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. Net gain from sale of assets represents the gain on sale of assets and the offsetting impact of costs incurred through the sale.






In addition, for the period ended March 31, 2019 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, net gain from the sale of assets and the tax effects of such adjustments.  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, net gain from the sale of assets and the tax effects of such adjustments, which we believe are not reflective of underlying business trends.  Additionally, for the periods ended March 31, 2019 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 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.  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.
