Globus Medical Reports First Quarter 2015 Results


Globus Medical, Inc. (NYSE:GMED), a leading musculoskeletal implant manufacturer, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

  • Worldwide sales increased 15.2% to $131.6 million, or 16.4% on a constant currency basis
  • Net income increased 16.6% to $24.6 million
  • Fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.26
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was 35.2% of sales
  • Company increases 2015 guidance for sales to $514 million and EPS to $1.02

David Paul, Chairman and CEO said, "We had a great quarter and are particularly pleased with our record quarterly sales. Our strong financial performance can be attributed to the consistent, steady execution of our growth strategy over the past several quarters, primarily the introduction of innovative products, the expansion of our U.S. and international sales footprint, and disciplined expense control. We are confident in our long term growth prospects and our ability to sustain our industry leading profitability by continued execution of our business model."

First quarter net sales were a record $131.6 million, as compared to $114.2 million last year, representing a 15.2% increase. On a constant currency basis, first quarter net sales increased 16.4% compared to the same period last year. Sales in the U.S. grew by 18.0% over the first quarter 2014. International sales increased by 3.9% over the first quarter of 2014 on a constant currency basis and declined by 7.1% on an as reported basis due to an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $1.3 million.

First quarter net income was $24.6 million, an increase of 16.6% over $21.1 million in the first quarter 2014. Fully diluted EPS for the first quarter was $0.26, as compared to $0.22 for the first quarter 2014.

The company generated non-GAAP free cash flow of $27.4 million in the first quarter. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities ended the quarter at $284.8 million, decreasing by $19.3 million during the quarter due primarily to acquisition activity during the quarter. The company remains debt free.

2015 Annual Guidance

The company today increased both sales and EPS guidance and now expects full year sales to be approximately $514 million and diluted earnings per share to be approximately $1.02 per share.

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, 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, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration in connection with business acquisitions and other acquisition related costs, and provisions for litigation, 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 Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections. In addition, for the periods ended March 31, 2015 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, respectively, before provisions for litigation, net of the tax effects of such provisions. We believe these non-GAAP measures are also useful indicators of our operating performance, and particularly as additional measures of comparative operative performance from period to period as they remove the effects of litigation, which we believe are not reflective of underlying business trends. 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.

Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and Free Cash Flow 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 Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and Free Cash Flow may differ from that of other companies and therefore may not be comparable.
