    Executive summary

The company is now focused on sustained profitable growth through increased R&D investment, aggressive capital placement strategies, and further integration of its recent acquisitions, while acknowledging potential short-term lumpiness in the Nevro business and continued efforts in international markets.

    Risks & headwinds

    4
    Nevro Integration & Growth LinearityShort term (2026)

    Path to growth may not be linear in the short term, with expected choppiness in 2026.

    Mitigation: Focus on developing new SCS products, mechanical solutions, cross-selling with legacy Globus products, competitive recruiting, and getting back to basics of running the business.

    International Business Challenges2025 (past), ongoing into 2026

    Impacted by supply chain shortages early in 2025. More challenges in APAC region (e.g., Japan) and some choppiness in Latam.

    Mitigation: Going deeper in existing countries, driving continued growth and sustainability, particularly in APAC and Latam. Expect growth to improve later in 2026.

    Enabling Technologies Sales Elongation/Lumpiness2025 (past), cautiously optimistic for 2026

    Pipeline deals experienced elongation during 2025, leading to lumpiness in quarterly sales. Q4 saw deals close.

    Mitigation: Getting more flexible in quoting deals, including operating leases, to aggressively drive capital placement and implant pull-through. Not hearing same concerns regarding spending as last year.

    Competitive LandscapeOngoing

    Competitive landscape continues to evolve, with new robot navigation systems from competitors.

    Mitigation: Staying focused on internal objectives, investing in spine portfolio and best-in-class technology, driving successful robotic programs, and leveraging marketability to attract competitive reps. Believe ExcelsiusGPS is well-positioned.

    What to watch in Q1 FY26

    U.S. Spine Growth Momentum

    Q1 FY26
    Current48 consecutive weeks of growth, 10% in Q4 FY25
    TargetContinued strong growth, sustaining above-market rates

    Why it matters

    U.S. Spine is the primary driver of overall business performance and profitability.

    Our U.S. Spine business grew 10% in Q4 as compared to the prior year quarter, coming off a third quarter where U.S. Spine also grew 10% versus the prior year third quarter. We've seen this trend continue and now sit at 48 weeks of consecutive growth with this momentum continuing thus far into our first quarter of 2026.

    Q&A highlights

    6

    Inquired about the sustainability of the 9% H2 2025 base business growth and the path to mid-to-high single digits for 2026, and asked for more detail on the long-term mid-70s adjusted gross margin target.

    Keith Pfeil attributed H2 2025 growth to sales force expansion, new product launches (9 in 2024, 6 in 2025), and increased inventory/set production. He noted continued momentum in U.S. Spine into Q1 2026. Kyle Kline reiterated the FY26 adjusted gross profit margin guidance of 69%-70% (at least 100 bps improvement) and explained that gross profit margin cadence typically follows seasonal revenue patterns, with the mid-70s target expected beyond 2026.

    As I look at the year, we did a really nice job growing our sales force with competitive rep conversions. When you think about the products that we've launched, we launched 9 products in spine in 2024 and another 6 in 2025. Those really helped drive some of that growth.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Q4 and Full Year 2025 Performance Highlights

    Consolidated revenue for Q4 FY25 reached $826.4 million, a 25.7% increase year-over-year, with non-GAAP EPS of $1.28, up 52.1%. Full year 2025 revenue was $2.939 billion, growing 16.7%, and non-GAAP EPS was $3.98, up 30.8%. The base business, excluding Nevro, grew 5% for the full year and 10.6% in Q4, demonstrating accelerated momentum in the second half of the year with 8.8% organic growth.

    02

    U.S. Spine Momentum

    The U.S. Spine business grew 10% in Q4, following a 10% growth in Q3, and has seen 48 consecutive weeks of growth extending into Q1 2026. This broad-based momentum was driven by successful product launches, including expandable TLIF products, MIS pedicle screws, and power tools like DuraPro, supported by strategic investments in inventory and set production to meet customer demand.

    03

    Enabling Technologies Rebound

    Q4 Enabling Technology sales were $55.6 million, an 18.5% increase, driven by increased sales of ExcelsiusGPS systems. The company successfully closed pipeline deals that had previously experienced elongation. Management plans to adopt more aggressive pricing and deal flexibility, including operating leases, to drive market share and implant pull-through, positioning the business well for 2026.

    04

    Trauma Business Growth

    The trauma business delivered approximately 27% growth in Q4, benefiting from a focused strategy on Level 1 and Level 2 trauma centers. Key product launches, such as the ANTHEM elbow plating system in Q3 2025, exceeded expectations in both revenue and demand, contributing to the business's ability to bid on primary vendor contracts.

    05

    Nevro Integration and Outlook

    Nevro contributed $99.7 million in Q4 revenue with an adjusted EBITDA of 21.2%. The business achieved EPS accretion in FY25, 15 months ahead of initial guidance. While the path to growth may not be linear in the short term, the company plans to focus on developing new SCS products, mechanical solutions, cross-selling with legacy Globus products, and competitive recruiting to drive long-term profitable sales growth.

    06

    Synergy Execution Success

    Globus Medical achieved $200 million in NuVasive synergies, exceeding the $170 million target almost a year ahead of schedule. Nevro became EPS accretive in FY25, 15 months earlier than the initial Q1 2027 expectation. These synergies primarily impacted SG&A and COGS, contributing to a six-consecutive-quarter expansion in adjusted gross margin and a significant increase in free cash flow generation.

    07

    Strategic Focus and Future Investment

    The company is moving beyond M&A integration to increase product development investment, sustain above-market sales growth, and achieve operating leverage. It aims to be a procedure-enabling MedTech platform that thoughtfully integrates imaging, navigation, robotics, and implants, focusing on patient selection, surgical techniques, and complementary implants to drive continuous improvement in patient care.
