Press Release

NuVasive Reports Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/25/16 -- NuVasive, Inc.(NASDAQ: NUVA), a leading medical device company focused on transforming spine surgery with minimally disruptive, procedurally-integrated solutions, announced today financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Third Quarter 2016 Highlights

  • Revenue increased 19.5% to $239.6 million, or 18.9% on a constant currency basis
  • GAAP operating profit margin of 8.8%; Non-GAAP operating profit margin of 16.1%
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.07; Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share up 14.3% from prior year to $0.40

"Our results for the third quarter reflect continued strength in procedural volumes across the United States, as well as strong performances in our European and Australian markets," said Gregory T. Lucier, NuVasive's chairman and chief executive officer. "While our revenue results for the quarter were lower than our expectations due to capital and stocking orders in the United States that did not come through late in the quarter as planned, we believe this minor disruption is temporary. During the quarter, we continued to experience positive trends, including domestic procedural volumes in line with prior quarters and the conversion of surgeons at an increasingly faster pace, signaling stable market trends and competitive dynamics that favor our innovation and spine-only focused strategy.

"As anticipated, our results were also impacted by our dilator being off the market in Japan for a large portion of the quarter, which resulted in lower XLIF revenues. If XLIF procedures in Japan had been performed at their normal pace, the underlying revenue growth rate of our core business would have been in the mid-to-high single digits. We have resubmitted our dilator for approval with the Japanese Ministry of Health, and to be prudent, we have updated our financial guidance to reflect the removal of XLIF revenues in Japan for the fourth quarter."

Lucier continued, "Our intense focus on operational excellence is paying off as we delivered profitability and earnings that were significantly higher than our internal expectations, while continuing to invest in a broader innovation agenda and our new manufacturing facility in Ohio to drive long-term shareholder value creation. Based on these dynamics, we are reiterating our full year 2016 financial guidance in line with prior expectations, with the exception of revenue."

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Information

Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures such as non-GAAP earnings per share, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP operating profit margin, which exclude amortization of intangible assets, non-cash purchase accounting adjustments on acquisitions, business transition costs, CEO transition related costs, certain litigation charges, significant one-time items, non-cash interest expense and/or losses on repurchase of convertible notes, and the impact from taxes related to these items, including those taxes that would have occurred in lieu of these items. Management also uses certain non-GAAP measures which are intended to exclude the impact of foreign exchange currency fluctuations. The measure constant currency is the use of an exchange rate that eliminates fluctuations when calculating financial performance numbers.

The Company also uses measures such as free cash flow, which represents cash flow from operations less cash used in the acquisition and disposition of capital. Additionally, the Company uses an adjusted EBITDA measure which represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, non-cash purchase accounting adjustments on acquisition, business transition costs, CEO transition related costs, certain litigation charges, and other significant one-time items. Management calculates the non-GAAP financial measures provided in this earnings release excluding these costs and uses these non-GAAP financial measures to enable it to further and more consistently analyze the period-to-period financial performance of its core business operations. Management believes that providing investors with these non-GAAP measures gives them additional information to enable them to assess, in the same way management assesses, the Company's current and future continuing operations. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Set forth below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure.
