(a) The Company
Globus Medical, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is a medical device company that develops and commercializes healthcare solutions with a mission to improve the quality of life of patients with musculoskeletal disorders. We are primarily focused on implants that promote healing in patients with musculoskeletal disorders, including the use of a robotic guidance and navigation system and products to treat patients who have experienced orthopedic traumas.
We are an engineering-driven company with a history of rapidly developing and commercializing advanced products and procedures to assist surgeons in effectively treating their patients and to address new treatment options. With over
We are headquartered in Audubon, Pennsylvania, and market and sell our products through our exclusive sales force in the United States, as well as within North, Central & South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. The sales force consists of direct sales representatives and distributor sales representatives employed by exclusive independent distributors.
The terms the “Company,” “Globus,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Globus Medical, Inc. and, where applicable, our consolidated subsidiaries.
(b) NuVasive Agreement and Plan of Merger
On February 8, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with NuVasive, Inc. (“NuVasive”) and Zebra Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into NuVasive (the “Merger”), with NuVasive surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $
As previously disclosed, in connection with the Merger, the Company and NuVasive filed notification and report forms (the “HSR Filing”) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and on March 31, 2023, the Company, in consultation with NuVasive, voluntarily withdrew its HSR Filing. The Company refiled on April 3, 2023 in order to restart the initial waiting period under the HSR Act and to provide the FTC additional time to review the proposed transaction.
On May 3, 2023, the Company and NuVasive each received a request for additional information and documentary materials (the “Second Request”) from the FTC in connection with the FTC’s review of the Merger. The effect of the Second Request is to extend the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until 30 days after the Company and NuVasive have substantially complied with the Second Request, unless that period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by the FTC. Both parties intend to continue to work cooperatively with the FTC in its review. Completion of the Merger remains subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement.
For more information about the Merger, please refer to our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on February 9, 2023, April 3, 2023, April 17, 2023, April 28, 2023 and May 3, 2023.
(c) COVID-19 Pandemic Impact
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. COVID-19 has significantly
impacted the economic conditions in the U.S. and globally as federal, state and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the economy.
Although the Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact that COVID-19 will have on its financial results, the Company may experience a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows in 2023 should there be a resurgence impacting hospitals, surgical facilities, our internal operations, or our suppliers.
In response to these developments, the Company will continue to monitor liquidity and cash flow. The Company has the ability to borrow from its existing credit facility, if needed, although we do not expect to do so due to our cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities balances.
(a)
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary, which are of a normal and recurring nature, for the fair presentation of our financial position as of March 31, 2023, and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The results of operations for any interim period may not be indicative of results for the full year.
(b)
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Globus and its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
(c)
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates, in part, on historical experience that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.
Significant areas that require estimates include revenue recognition, intangible assets, business acquisition liabilities, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, reserves for excess and obsolete inventory, useful lives of assets, the outcome of litigation, recoverability of intangible assets and income taxes. We are subject to risks and uncertainties due to changes in the healthcare environment, regulatory oversight, competition, and legislation that may cause actual results to differ from estimated results.
(d)
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. Sales and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. For purposes of disclosure, we disaggregate our revenue into two categories, Musculoskeletal Solutions and Enabling Technologies. Our Musculoskeletal Solutions products consist primarily of the implantable devices, disposables, and unique instruments used in an expansive range of spine, orthopedic trauma, hip, knee and extremity procedures. The majority of our
Musculoskeletal Solutions contracts have a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a point in time. Our Enabling Technologies products are advanced hardware and software systems, and related technologies that are designed to enhance a surgeon’s capabilities and streamline surgical procedures by making them less invasive, more accurate, and more reproducible to improve patient care. The majority of our Enabling Technologies product contracts contain multiple performance obligations, including maintenance and support, and revenue is recognized as we fulfill each performance obligation. When contracts have multiple performance obligations, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using our best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Our policy is to classify shipping and handling costs billed to customers as sales and the related expenses as cost of goods sold.
Nature of Products and Services
A significant portion of our Musculoskeletal Solutions product revenue is generated from consigned inventory maintained at hospitals or with sales representatives. Revenue from the sale of consigned musculoskeletal products is recognized when we transfer control, which occurs at the time the product is used or implanted. For all other Musculoskeletal Solutions product transactions, we recognize revenue when we transfer title to the goods, provided there are no remaining performance obligations that can affect the customer’s final acceptance of the sale.
Revenue from the sale of Enabling Technologies products is generally recognized when control transfers to the customer which occurs at the time the product is shipped or delivered. Any revenue related to the provision of maintenance and support is recognized as we satisfy the performance obligation. We use an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price for each separate performance obligation.
Contract Balances
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. We record a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, or deferred revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing.
Deferred revenue is comprised mainly of unearned revenue related to the sales of certain Enabling Technologies products, which includes maintenance and support services. Maintenance and support services are generally invoiced annually, at the beginning of each contract period, and revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance period. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, there was an immaterial amount of revenue recognized from previously deferred revenue.
(e)
The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at acquisition date to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents, which consist of money market accounts, commercial paper and corporate debt securities are stated at fair value.
(f)
Our marketable securities include municipal bonds, corporate debt securities, commercial paper, asset-backed securities, and securities of government, federal agency, and other sovereign obligations and are classified as available-for-sale as of March 31, 2023. Short-term and long-term marketable securities are recorded at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any change in fair value of our available-for-sale securities, that do not result in recognition or reversal of an allowance for credit loss or write-down, are recorded, net of taxes, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Premiums and discounts are recognized over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield using the straight-line method. Realized gains or losses from the sale of marketable securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Realized gains and losses, interest income and the amortization/accretion of premiums/discounts are included as a component of other income/(expense), net, on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Interest receivable is recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We invest in securities that meet or exceed standards as defined in our investment policy. Our policy also limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issue, issuer or type of security. We review declines in the fair value of our securities to determine whether they are resulting from expected credit losses or other factors. If the assessment indicates a credit loss exists, we recognize any measured impairment as an allowance for credit loss in our condensed
consolidated statements of operations. Any other impairments not recorded through allowance for credit losses is recognized in our other comprehensive income.
(g)
Assets and Liabilities That Are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Additionally, a fair value hierarchy was established that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1—quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2—observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; and
Level 3—unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to use significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.
Assets and Liabilities That Are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The purchase price of business acquisitions is primarily allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, with the excess recorded as goodwill. We utilize Level 3 inputs in the determination of the initial fair value.
Contingent consideration represents contingent milestone, performance and revenue-sharing payment obligations related to acquisitions and is measured at fair value, based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of contingent consideration uses assumptions we believe would be made by a market participant. We assess these assumptions on an ongoing basis as additional data impacting the assumptions is obtained. The fair value of contingent consideration is recorded in business acquisition liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recognized in acquisition related costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The fair value of contingent restricted stock unit (“RSU”) grants are recorded as additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet on the day of the grant due to the remote likelihood of forfeiture.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The majority of our inventory is finished goods and we utilize both in-house manufacturing and third-party suppliers to produce our products. We periodically evaluate the carrying value of our inventories in relation to estimated forecasts of product demand, which takes into consideration the life cycle of product releases. When quantities on hand exceed estimated sales forecasts, we record a write-down for such excess inventories. Once inventory has been written down, it creates a new cost basis for inventory that is not subsequently written up.
(i)
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired less the liabilities assumed in the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. Fair values are estimated using an income and discounted cash flow approach. We perform our annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each year. We consider qualitative indicators of the fair value of a reporting unit when it is unlikely that a reporting unit has impaired goodwill.
Intangible assets consist of purchased in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), developed technology, supplier network, patents, customer relationships, re-acquired rights, and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method and estimated useful lives ranging from
IPR&D has an indefinite life and is not amortized until completion of the project at which time the IPR&D becomes an amortizable asset. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. If the related project is not completed in a timely manner, we may have an impairment related to the IPR&D, calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value.

The cost of employee and non-employee director awards is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the equity award. Compensation expense for awards includes the impact of forfeiture in the period when they occur.
We estimate the fair value of stock options utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Inputs to the Black-Scholes model include our stock price, expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected term of the Company’s stock options offering period which is derived from historical experience. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates of U.S. Treasury securities appropriate for the expected terms of the stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on the history and expectation of no dividend payouts. The fair value of restricted stock units is estimated on the day of grant based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock.

Our marketable securities are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, as we measure their fair value using market prices for similar instruments and inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes and other similar data obtained from quoted market prices or independent pricing vendors.
Assets and Liabilities That Are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Fair value of the revenue-based business acquisition liabilities was determined using a discounted cash flow model and an option pricing methodology. The significant inputs of such models are not observable in the market, such as certain financial metric growth rates, volatility and discount rates, market price risk adjustment, projections associated with the applicable milestone, the interest rate, and the related probabilities and payment structure in the contingent consideration arrangement.
The following are the significant unobservable inputs used in the two valuation techniques:

Earnings Per Common Share
The Company computes basic earnings per share using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock equivalents, unless the effect of inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For purposes of this calculation, common stock equivalents include the Company’s stock options and unvested RSUs. The contingently issuable shares are included in basic net income per share as of the date that all necessary conditions have been satisfied and are included in the denominator for dilutive calculation for the entire period if such shares would be issuable as of the end of the reporting period assuming the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

In computing our income tax provision, we make certain estimates and judgments, such as estimated annual taxable income or loss, annual effective tax rate, the nature and timing of permanent and temporary differences between taxable income for financial reporting and tax reporting, and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Our estimates and assumptions may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained, or as the tax environment changes. Should facts and circumstances change during a quarter causing a material change to the estimated effective income tax rate, a cumulative adjustment is recorded.
The following table provides a summary of our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

We are involved in a number of proceedings, legal actions, and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcomes of these matters are not within our control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In some actions, the claimants seek damages, as well as other relief, including injunctions prohibiting us from engaging in certain activities, which, if granted, could require significant expenditures and/or result in lost revenues. We record a liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, and no amount in the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded. While it is not possible to predict the outcome for most of the
matters discussed, we believe it is possible that costs associated with them could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows.
Moskowitz Family LLC Litigation
On November 20, 2019, Moskowitz Family LLC filed suit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas for patent infringement. Moskowitz, a non-practicing entity, alleges that Globus willfully infringes one or more claims of six patents by making, using, offering for sale or selling the COALITION®, COALITION MIS®, COALITION AGX®, CORBEL®, MONUMENT®, MAGNIFY®-S, HEDRON IATM, HEDRON IC®, INDEPENDENCE®, INDEPENDENCE MIS®, INDEPENDENCE MIS AGX®, FORTIFY® and XPAND® families, SABLE®, RISE®, RISE® INTRALIF, RISE®-L, ELSA®, ELSA® ATP, ALTERA®, ARIEL®, CALIBER® and CALIBER®-L products. Moskowitz seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief. On July 2, 2020, this suit was transferred from the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The outcome of this litigation cannot be determined, nor can we estimate a range of potential loss, therefore, we have

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2023.
Overview
Globus Medical, Inc. (together, as applicable, with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Globus,” “we,” “us” or “our”), headquartered in Audubon, Pennsylvania, is a medical device company that develops and commercializes healthcare solutions and whose mission is to improve the quality of life of patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Founded in 2003, Globus is committed to medical device innovation and delivering exceptional service to hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and physicians to advance patient care and improve efficiency. Since inception, Globus has listened to the voice of the surgeon to develop practical solutions and products to help surgeons effectively treat patients and improve lives.
Globus is an engineering-driven company with a history of rapidly developing and commercializing advanced products and procedures to address treatment challenges. With over 230 product launches to date, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of innovative and differentiated technologies that are used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Although we manage our business globally within one operating segment, we separate our products into two major categories: Musculoskeletal Solutions and Enabling Technologies.
NuVasive Agreement and Plan of Merger
On February 8, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with NuVasive, Inc. (“NuVasive”) and Zebra Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into NuVasive (the “Merger”), with NuVasive surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On April 27, 2023, the Merger and related transactions were approved by stockholders of the Company and NuVasive. The Company expects that the Merger will close in the third quarter of 2023, subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and the satisfaction or waiver of the other customary closing conditions.
As previously disclosed, in connection with the Merger, the Company and NuVasive filed notification and report forms (the “HSR Filing”) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and on March 31, 2023, the Company, in consultation with NuVasive, voluntarily withdrew its HSR Filing. The Company refiled on April 3, 2023 in order to restart the initial waiting period under the HSR Act and to provide the FTC additional time to review the proposed transaction.
On May 3, 2023, the Company and NuVasive each received a request for additional information and documentary materials (the “Second Request”) from the FTC in connection with the FTC’s review of the Merger. The effect of the Second Request is to extend the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until 30 days after the Company and NuVasive have substantially complied with the Second Request, unless that period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by the FTC. Both parties intend to continue to work cooperatively with the FTC in its review. Completion of the Merger remains subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement.
For more information about the Merger, please refer to our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on February 9, 2023, April 3, 2023, April 17, 2023, April 28, 2023 and May 3, 2023.
COVID-19 Update
We continue to monitor the situation and guidance from international and domestic authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities, regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, and we may need to make changes to our business based on their recommendations. Under these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in
the future. However, if a resurgence of COVID-19 infections occurs and governments mandate restrictions, including restrictions on elective surgeries, we do expect that it could have a material adverse impact on our revenue growth, operating profit and cash flow, revised payment terms with certain of our customers, and a change in effective tax rate driven by changes in the mix of earnings across the Company’s jurisdictions.
We are focused on navigating the challenges presented by COVID-19 and believe we are in a strong position to continue to sustain and grow our business.
Product Categories
While we group our products into two categories, Musculoskeletal Solutions and Enabling Technologies, they are not limited to a particular technology, platform or surgical approach. Instead, our goal is to offer a comprehensive product suite that can be used to safely and effectively treat patients based on their specific anatomy and condition, and is customized to the surgeon’s training and surgical preference.
Musculoskeletal Solutions
Our Musculoskeletal Solutions consist primarily of implantable devices, biologics, accessories, and unique surgical instruments used in an expansive range of spinal, orthopedic and neurosurgical procedures. Musculoskeletal disorders are a leading driver of healthcare costs worldwide. Disorders range in severity from mild pain and loss of feeling to extreme pain and paralysis. These disorders are primarily caused by degenerative and congenital conditions, deformity, tumors and traumatic injuries. Treatment alternatives for musculoskeletal disorders range from non-operative conservative therapies to surgical interventions depending on the pathology. Conservative therapies include bed rest, medication, casting, bracing, and physical therapy. When conservative therapies are not indicated, or fail to provide adequate quality of life improvements, surgical interventions may be used. Surgical treatments for musculoskeletal disorders can be instrumented, which include the use of implants, or non-instrumented, which forego the use of hardware but may include biologics.
Enabling Technologies
Our Enabling Technologies are comprised of imaging, navigation and robotics (“INR”) solutions for assisted surgery which are advanced computer-assisted intelligent systems designed to enhance a surgeon’s capabilities, and ultimately improve patient care and reduce radiation exposure for all involved, by streamlining surgical procedures to be safer, less invasive, and more accurate. The market for our Enabling Technologies in spine and orthopedic surgery is still in its infancy stage and consists primarily of imaging, navigation and robotic systems. In spine, a majority of these technologies are limited to surgical planning and assistance in implant placement for increased accuracy and time savings with less intraoperative radiation exposure to the patient and surgical staff. As our Enabling Technologies become more fully integrated with our Musculoskeletal Solutions, a continued rise in adoption is expected. Furthermore, we believe as new technologies such as augmented reality and artificial intelligence are introduced, Enabling Technologies have the potential to transform the way surgery is performed and most importantly, continue to improve patient outcomes.
Geographic Information
To date, the primary market for our products has been the United States, where we sell our products through a combination of direct sales representatives employed by us and distributor sales representatives employed by exclusive independent distributors, who distribute our products for a commission that is generally based on a percentage of sales. We believe there is significant opportunity to strengthen our position in the U.S. market by increasing the size of our U.S. sales force and we intend to add additional direct and distributor sales representatives in the future.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, international net sales accounted for approximately 15.4% of our total net sales. We have sold our products in approximately 45 countries other than the United States through a combination of sales representatives employed by us and exclusive international distributors. We believe there are significant opportunities for us to increase our presence in both existing and new international markets through the continued expansion of our direct and distributor sales forces and through the commercialization of additional products.
Seasonality
Our business is generally not seasonal in nature. However, sales of our Musculoskeletal Solutions products may be influenced by summer vacation and winter holiday periods during which we have experienced fewer surgeries
taking place, as well as more surgeries taking place later in the year when patients have met the deductibles under insurance plans. Sales of our Enabling Technologies products may be influenced by longer capital purchase cycles and the timing of budget approvals for major capital purchases.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2022.

In the United States, the increase in net sales of $37.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 was due primarily to increased spine product sales, including robotic instruments, resulting from penetration in existing territories and an increase in sales volume of enabling technologies.
International net sales increased by $8.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 due to increased spine product sales resulting from penetration in existing territories.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations: Results of Operations; Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021.” on our Form 10-Q filed on May 10, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow from operating activities as well as our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, which we believe will provide sufficient funding for us to meet our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. Our principal liquidity requirements are to fund working capital, research and development, including clinical trials, capital expenditures primarily related to investment in surgical sets required to maintain and expand our business, and potential future business or intellectual property acquisitions. We expect to continue to make investments in surgical sets as we launch new products, increase the size of our U.S. sales force, and expand into international markets. We may, however, require additional liquidity as we continue to execute our business strategy. To the extent that we require new sources of liquidity, we may consider incurring debt, including borrowing against our existing credit facility, convertible debt instruments, and/or raising additional funds through an equity offering. The sale of additional equity may result in dilution to our stockholders. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure such additional funding on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
In August 2020, we entered into the Credit Agreement with Citizens Bank, N.A. which provides a Revolving Credit Facility permitting borrowings up to $125.0 million. As amended, the Credit Agreement has a termination date of August 2, 2023. The Revolving Credit Facility includes up to a $25.0 million sub limit for letters of credit. As of March 31, 2023, we have not borrowed under the Credit Agreement.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities
The net cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 was primarily cash flow from net income and favorable changes in income tax and accounts payable, partially offset by outflows for inventories and unfavorable changes in accounts receivable and accrued expenses and other liabilities.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
The cash provided by investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 was primarily from net inflows of purchases, maturities and sales of marketable securities, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment and the acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired and purchases of intangible and other assets.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
The net cash provided by financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 was primarily the result of the proceeds from exercise of stock options, partially offset by payment of business acquisition liabilities.
A discussion of our Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 can be found in “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations: Results of Operations; Cash Flows.” on our Form 10-Q filed on May 10, 2022.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Backlog
We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that our inventory needs are met while maintaining high quality and reliability. To date, we have experienced slight delays in locating and obtaining the materials necessary to fulfill our production requirements, but it has not caused a meaningful backlog of sales orders. Despite such delays, we believe our supplier relationships and facilities will support our capacity needs for the foreseeable future. However, it is possible that a prolonged COVID-19 disruption could cause a backlog of sales orders. A majority of our product inventory is held primarily with our sales representatives and at hospitals throughout the United States. We stock inventory in our warehouse facilities and retain title to consigned inventory which is maintained with our field representatives and hospitals in sufficient quantities so that products are available when needed for surgical procedures. Safety stock levels are determined based on a number of factors, including demand, manufacturing lead times, and quantities required to maintain service levels.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current assumptions, expectations and estimates of future events and trends. Forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to many risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect our businesses and operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the occurrence of any change, event, series of events or circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, including a termination of the Merger Agreement under circumstances that could require Globus to pay a termination fee to NuVasive or require NuVasive to pay a termination fee to Globus; the inability to complete the Merger due to the failure to satisfy any of the conditions to the completion of the Merger, including receipt of the necessary approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”), in a timely manner or otherwise; any unexpected costs, liabilities or delays related to the NuVasive transaction; the respective businesses of Globus and NuVasive may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the transaction; the effect of the announcement of the transaction on the ability of Globus or NuVasive to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and others with whom Globus or NuVasive does business, or on Globus’ or NuVasive’s operating results and business generally; health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks, including the COVID-19 pandemic, factors affecting our quarterly results, our ability to manage our growth, our ability to sustain our profitability, demand for our products, our ability to compete successfully (including without limitation our ability to convince surgeons to use our products and our ability to attract and retain sales and other personnel), our ability to rapidly develop and introduce new products, our ability to develop and execute on successful business strategies, our ability to comply with changes and applicable laws and regulations that are applicable to our businesses, our ability to safeguard our intellectual property, our success in defending legal proceedings brought against us, trends in the medical device industry, and general economic conditions, and other risks set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and throughout our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, particularly those set forth under “Item 1. Business,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk”, and those discussed in other documents we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, events or circumstances or other factors arising or coming to our attention after the date hereof.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
We have evaluated the information required under this item that was disclosed under Item 7A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and there have been no significant changes to this information.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s
management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. For example, these inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in a number of proceedings, legal actions and claims. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcomes of these matters are not within our control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In some actions, the claimants seek damages, as well as other relief, including injunctions prohibiting us from engaging in certain activities, which, if granted, could require significant expenditures and/or result in lost revenues. For further details on the material legal proceedings to which we are currently a party, please refer to “Part I; Item 1. Financial Statements; Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited); Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies” above.
In addition, we are subject to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations and that could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition are discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, results of operations, financial condition and future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected. You should carefully read and consider each of these risks, together with all of the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future growth prospects, and our stock price.
Except for the additional risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 21, 2023.
Risks Relating to the Merger With NuVasive
The Merger may not be completed and the Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms.
The Merger is subject to a number of conditions that must be satisfied (or waived, to the extent permitted), including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by NuVasive stockholders; (ii) approval by Globus stockholders of the issuance of shares of Globus Class A Common Stock in connection with the Merger; (iii) the absence of any law or order prohibiting consummation of the Merger; (iv) this registration statement on Form S-4 having been declared effective by the SEC; (v) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the HSR Act; (vi) with respect to a party, accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties, subject to certain materiality standards set forth in the Merger Agreement; (vii) compliance by each party in all material respects with such other party’s obligations under the Merger Agreement; and (viii) with respect to a party, the absence of a material adverse effect on the other party since February 8, 2023. These conditions are described in the section titled “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Consummation of the Merger” on our joint prospectus/proxy filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023 (the “Prospectus”). These conditions to the completion of the Merger, some of which are beyond the control of Globus and NuVasive, may not be satisfied or waived in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the Merger may be delayed or not completed.
Additionally, either Globus or NuVasive may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, subject to the payment of a termination fee in certain cases. See the sections titled “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement” and “The Merger Agreement—Termination Fees” in the Prospectus for a more complete discussion of the circumstances under which the Merger Agreement could be terminated and when a termination fee may be payable by Globus or NuVasive.
Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact the future business and financial results of Globus and the trading price of the Globus Class A Common Stock.
If the Merger is not completed for any reason, our ongoing business may be adversely affected and, without realizing any of the expected benefits of having completed the Merger, and we would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:
•We may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on our stock price;
•We may experience negative reactions from its customers, partners, suppliers and employees;
•We will have incurred substantial costs towards completion of the Merger and will generally be required to pay all costs relating to the Merger, such as financial advisory, legal, accounting costs and associated fees and expenses, whether or not the Merger is completed;
•There may be disruptions to our business resulting from the announcement and pendency of the Merger, and any adverse changes in relationships with either company’s respective customers, partners, suppliers, surgeons, other business partners, contractors and employees may continue or intensify; and
•We have committed substantial time and resources to matters relating to the Merger (including integration planning) which would otherwise have been devoted to day-to-day operations and other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us as an independent company.
Until the completion of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms, Globus is prohibited from entering into certain transactions and taking certain actions that might otherwise be beneficial to Globus or its stockholders.
From and after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the completion of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms, the Merger Agreement restricts Globus and NuVasive from taking specified actions without the consent of the other party and requires that the businesses of Globus, NuVasive and their respective subsidiaries be conducted in the ordinary course. These restrictions may prevent Globus from taking actions during the pendency of the Merger that would have been beneficial. Adverse effects arising from these restrictions during the pendency of the Merger could be exacerbated by any delays in the completion of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement.
The Merger, and uncertainty regarding the Merger, may cause business partners, surgeons, vendors or other stakeholders to delay or defer decisions concerning Globus and adversely affect our ability to effectively manage our business, which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial position and, following the completion of the Merger, the Combined Company’s business, operating results and financial position.
The Merger will happen only if the stated conditions are met, including the receipt of the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the HSR Act can be obtained, among other conditions. Many of the conditions are beyond the control of Globus and NuVasive, and both parties also have certain rights to terminate the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, there may be uncertainty regarding the completion of the Merger. This uncertainty may cause existing or prospective business partners, surgeons, vendors and other stakeholders, including sales representatives, to:
•delay or defer other decisions concerning Globus, NuVasive or to Globus and NuVasive collectively following completion of the Merger (the “Combined Company”), including entering into contracts with Globus or NuVasive or making other decisions concerning Globus or NuVasive or seek to change or cancel existing business relationships with Globus or NuVasive; or
•otherwise seek to change the terms on which they do business with Globus, NuVasive or the Combined Company.
Any such disruptions such as delays or deferrals of those decisions or changes in existing agreements could adversely affect the respective business, operating results and financial position of Globus, whether the Merger is ultimately completed, and following the completion of the Merger, the Combined Company, including an adverse effect on the Combined Company’s ability to realize the anticipated synergies and other benefits of the Merger. The risk, and adverse effect, of any such disruptions could be exacerbated by a delay in completion of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement.
Whether or not the Merger is completed, the announcement and pendency of the Merger could cause disruptions in our businesses, which could have an adverse effect on our businesses and financial results.
Whether or not the Merger is completed, the announcement and pendency of the Merger could cause disruptions in our businesses, including by diverting the attention of our management and employees, such as those involved in day-to-day operations and sales, toward the completion of the Merger. In addition, we have diverted significant management resources in an effort to complete the Merger and are subject to restrictions contained in the
Merger Agreement on the conduct of our businesses. If the Merger is not completed, we will have incurred significant costs, including the diversion of management resources, for which we will have received little or no benefit.
Globus expects to incur substantial costs related to the Merger and integration.
We have incurred and expect to incur non-recurring costs associated with combining the operations of the two companies, as well as transaction fees and other costs related to the Merger. Such costs include, among others, filing and registration fees with the SEC, printing and mailing costs associated with this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and legal, accounting, investment banking, consulting, public relations and proxy solicitation fees. Some of these costs are payable by Globus regardless of whether the Merger is completed.
The Combined Company will also incur restructuring and integration costs in connection with the Merger. There are processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated in connection with the Merger and the integration of NuVasive’s business into the Combined Company. Although Globus expects that the elimination of duplicative costs, strategic benefits and additional income, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, may offset incremental transaction, Merger-related and restructuring costs over time, any net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all. While Globus has assumed that certain expenses would be incurred in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, there are many factors beyond Globus’s control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the integration and implementation expenses.
Risks Relating to the Combined Company
Combining the businesses of Globus and NuVasive may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected and the Combined Company may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger, which may adversely affect the Combined Company’s business results and negatively affect the value of the Combined Company’s common stock.
The success of the Merger will depend on, among other things, our ability to realize the anticipated benefits, synergies and efficiencies from combining the businesses of Globus and NuVasive. This success will depend on, among other factors, our ability to successfully integrate its business with the business of NuVasive. If we are not able to successfully integrate NuVasive’s business into the Combined Company within the anticipated time frame, or at all, the anticipated synergies, efficiencies and other benefits of the Merger may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.
An inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the Merger, as well as any delays encountered in the integration process, could have an adverse effect upon the revenues, level of expenses and operating results of the Combined Company, which may adversely affect the value of the common stock of the Combined Company.
Globus and NuVasive have operated and, until the completion of the Merger, will continue to operate independently. There can be no assurances that their businesses can be integrated successfully. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key Globus or NuVasive employees, the loss of surgeon customers, the disruption of either company’s or both companies’ ongoing businesses, inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, unexpected integration issues, higher than expected integration costs and an overall post-completion integration process that takes longer than originally anticipated. The challenges involved in this integration, which will be complex and time-consuming, include the following:
•combining the businesses of Globus and NuVasive, including respective operations and corporate functions, and meeting the capital requirements of the Combined Company in a manner that permits the Combined Company to achieve any revenue synergies or efficiencies anticipated to result from the Merger, the failure of which would result in the anticipated benefits of the Merger not being realized in the time frame currently anticipated or at all;
•integrating and retaining personnel from the two companies;
•integrating each company’s technologies and technologies licensed by them from third parties;
•identifying and eliminating redundant and underperforming functions and assets;
•harmonizing each company’s operating practices, employee development and compensation programs, internal controls and other policies, procedures and processes;
•maintaining existing agreements with each company’s business partners, surgeons, suppliers and vendors, avoiding delays in entering into new agreements with prospective business partners, surgeons, suppliers and vendors, and leveraging relationships with such third parties for the benefit of the Combined Company;
•addressing possible differences in business backgrounds, corporate cultures and management philosophies;
•consolidating each company’s administrative and information technology infrastructure; coordinating sales activities and go-to-market efforts;
•coordinating geographically dispersed organizations; and
•effecting actions that may be required in connection with obtaining regulatory or other governmental approvals.
In addition, at times the attention of certain members of either company’s or both companies’ management and resources may be focused on completion of the Merger and the integration of the businesses of the two companies and diverted from day-to-day business operations or other opportunities that may have been beneficial to such company, which may disrupt each company’s ongoing business and the business of the Combined Company.
The Combined Company may be unable to realize the anticipated synergies and expects to incur substantial expenses related to the Merger, which could adversely affect the Combined Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Combined Company’s ability to achieve estimated synergies in the timeframe anticipated, or at all, is subject to various assumptions, which may or may not prove to be accurate. As a consequence, the Combined Company may not be able to realize all of these synergies within the timeframe expected or at all. In addition, the Combined Company may incur additional or unexpected costs in order to realize these benefits. Failure to achieve the expected synergies could significantly reduce the expected benefits associated with the Merger.
Certain contractual counterparties may seek to modify contractual relationships with the Combined Company, which could have an adverse effect on the Combined Company’s business and operations.
As a result of the Merger, the Combined Company may experience impacts on relationships with contractual counterparties (such as business partners, surgeons, vendors, sales representatives, contractors or other third party service providers) that may harm the Combined Company’s business and results of operations. Certain counterparties may seek to terminate or modify contractual obligations following the Merger whether or not contractual rights are triggered as a result of the Merger. There can be no guarantee that Globus’s or NuVasive’s contractual counterparties will remain with or continue to have a relationship with the Combined Company or do so on the same or similar contractual terms following the Merger. If any contractual counterparties (such as business partners, surgeons, vendors, sales representatives, contractors or other third-party service providers) seek to terminate or modify contractual obligations or discontinue the relationship with the Combined Company, then the Combined Company’s business and results of operations may be harmed.
Completion of the transaction may trigger change in control, assignment or other provisions in certain agreements to which NuVasive is a party, which may have an adverse impact on the Combined Company’s business and results of operations.
The completion of the Merger may trigger change in control, assignment and other provisions in certain agreements to which NuVasive is a party. If NuVasive is unable to negotiate waivers of or consents under those provisions, the counterparties may exercise their rights and remedies under the agreements, potentially terminating the agreements or seeking monetary damages or other remedies. Even if NuVasive is able to negotiate waivers, the counterparties may require a fee for such waivers or seek to renegotiate the agreements on terms less favorable to the Combined Company. Any of the foregoing or similar developments may have an adverse impact on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Combined Company, or the ability of Globus to successfully integrate NuVasive’s business.
The Combined Company may be exposed to increased litigation, which could have an adverse effect on the
Combined Company’s business and operations.
The Combined Company may be exposed to increased litigation from stockholders, customers, partners, suppliers, contractors and other third parties due to the merger of Globus’s and NuVasive’s businesses following the Merger. Such litigation may have an adverse impact on the Combined Company’s business and results of operations or may cause disruptions to the Combined Company’s operations.
