NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“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 (the “SEC”). As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report") 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, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026.
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 September 30, 2026, and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. The results of operations for any interim period may not be indicative of results for the full year.
(b)Principles of Consolidation
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.
Variable Interest Entities
We provide intraoperative neuromonitoring (“IONM”) services through various majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries, which collectively conduct business as NuVasive Clinical Services. In providing IONM services to surgeons and healthcare facilities across the U.S., the Company maintains contractual relationships with several physician practices (“PCs”). In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company has determined that the PCs are variable interest entities and therefore, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the PCs from the date of acquisition. During the periods presented, the results of the PCs were immaterial to the Company’s financial statements. The creditors of the PCs have claims only to the assets of the PCs, which are not material, and the assets of the PCs are not available to the Company.
(c)Use of Estimates
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 expected credit losses, stock-based compensation, reserves for excess and obsolete inventory, fair value measurements, 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 materially from estimated results.
(d)Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The principles in ASC 606 are applied using the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies its performance obligation(s). 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 concurrently 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 implantable devices, disposables, unique instruments, and neuromonitoring services, 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. For our neuromonitoring services, revenue is recognized in the period the service is performed, which can be either at a point in time or over time, depending on how the performance obligation is defined for the amount of consideration expected to be received.
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, generally at the point in time in which the obligation is fulfilled. When a contract has 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.
Revenue associated with products holding rights of return or trade-in are recognized when the Company concludes there is not a risk of significant revenue reversal in future periods for the expected consideration in the transaction. Our policy is to classify shipping and handling costs billed to customers as sales and the related expenses as cost of sales.
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 include 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.
Our contract liabilities of $35.1 million and $36.9 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, are classified within deferred revenue and other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of when we expect to complete performance obligations.
The changes to contract liabilities related to deferred revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, are as follows:
| | | | | |
| (In thousands) | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 |
| Beginning contract liabilities | $ | 36,914 | |
| Revenue recognized from contract liabilities | (31,660) | |
| Advance consideration received during the period | 29,892 | |
| Ending contract liabilities | $ | 35,146 | |
(e)Marketable Securities
Our marketable securities include municipal bonds, corporate debt securities, commercial paper, asset-backed securities, securities of government, federal agency, and other sovereign obligations and are classified as available-for-sale as of September 30, 2026. 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, which does not result in recognition or reversal of an allowance for credit loss or write-down, is 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 an allowance for credit losses are recognized in our other comprehensive income/(loss). No impairments were identified resulting from expected credit losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.
(f)Goodwill and Intangible Assets
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 a qualitative assessment when the results of the previous quantitative test indicated the reporting unit’s estimated fair value was significantly in excess of the carrying value of its net assets, and we do not believe there have been significant changes in the reporting unit’s operations that would significantly decrease its estimated fair value or significantly increase its net assets. If a quantitative assessment is performed, the evaluation includes management estimates of discounted cash flow projections based on internal future projections and/or use of a market approach by looking at market values of comparable companies.
Intangible assets consist of purchased developed technology, customer relationships, trade names, reacquired rights and patents. 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 1 to 21 years. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. If an impairment is indicated, we measure the amount of the impairment loss as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted future cash flow analysis.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, there were no impairments in goodwill or finite-lived intangible assets.
(g) Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and measures these instruments at fair value by revaluing these assets and liabilities at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses are recorded as a component of other income/(expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The effects of these derivative instruments are immaterial to the Company’s financial statements.
(h)Accounts Receivable and Related Valuation Accounts
Accounts receivable in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are presented net of allowances for expected credit losses. We maintain an allowance for expected credit losses resulting from the inability of our customers, including hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and distributors, to make required payments.
The allowance for credit losses is calculated quarterly and is estimated on a region-by-region basis considering a number of factors including age of account balances, collection history, historical account write-offs, third-party credit reports, identified trends, current economic conditions, and supportable forecasted economic expectations. The allowance is adjusted on a specific identification basis for certain accounts as well as pooling of accounts with similar characteristics. An increase in the provision for credit losses may be required when the financial condition of our customers or their collection experience deteriorates. Our exposure to credit losses may also increase if our customers are adversely affected by changes in healthcare laws, coverage and reimbursement, macroeconomic pressures or uncertainty associated with local or global economic recessions, disruption associated with pandemics, or other customer-specific factors.
(i)Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the acquisition date to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents, which consist of money market accounts, commercial paper, government securities and corporate debt securities, are stated at fair value. Restricted cash represents cash balances held in an escrow account and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
(j)Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270). ASU No. 2025-11 clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The objective of the amendments is to provide clarity about the current requirements, rather than evaluate whether to expand or reduce interim disclosure requirements. This ASU clarifies types of interim reporting and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. ASU No. 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the guidance prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its interim consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU No. 2025-06 simplifies the accounting for internal-use software costs by eliminating stage-based guidance and requiring deferral of capitalization when significant development uncertainty exists. ASU No. 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the guidance prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). ASU No. 2025-01 amends the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03 to clarify the initial effective date for entities that do not have an annual reporting period that ends on December 31, referred to as non-calendar year end entities. All public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. Additionally, in November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The update improves financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about certain costs and expenses categories: (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The amendments should be applied prospectively, with retrospective applications also permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
(k)Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU No. 2025‑05 provides a practical expedient that allows entities to estimate expected credit losses on certain trade receivables and contract assets by assuming that current economic conditions will remain unchanged over the life of the asset. The expedient applies only to assets with contractual lives of one year or less. The Company adopted ASU No. 2025-05 as of January 1, 2026, and amendments were applied prospectively. The adoption did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision-making utility of income tax disclosures. The enhancement provides information to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. Investors currently rely on the rate reconciliation table and other disclosures, including total income taxes paid, to evaluate income tax risks and opportunities. The Company adopted ASU No. 2023-09 as of January 1, 2025, and amendments were applied prospectively.
NOTE 3. ASSET ACQUISITIONS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Nevro Merger
As previously disclosed, on February 6, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Nevro Merger Agreement”) with Nevro Corp. (“Nevro”) and Palmer Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Palmer Merger Sub”) (such transaction, the “Nevro Merger”). On April 3, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the Nevro Merger Agreement, Palmer Merger Sub merged with and into Nevro, with Nevro surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. At the consummation of the Nevro Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Nevro, $0.001 par value per share, was converted into cash in an amount equal to $5.85 per share of common stock of Nevro.
The aggregate consideration paid by the Company in connection with its acquisition of Nevro was $252.5 million. The final purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2026 included net identifiable assets of $444.5 million and liabilities of $73.2 million, resulting in a bargain purchase gain of $118.8 million. The net identifiable assets were comprised of $147.5 million of deferred income taxes, $116.8 million of inventories, $70.8 million of accounts receivable, $56.0 million of intangible assets and $53.4 million of other assets. Total transaction costs incurred in connection with the Nevro Merger were $28.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, with $28.8 million of transaction costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Immaterial transaction costs were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Asset Acquisitions
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company entered into a patent purchase agreement and acquired certain patents related to medical device technology in the spine field for a total consideration of $1.5 million, which was paid at closing. The Company recorded $1.5 million of intangible assets, with an estimated useful life of 15.5 years.
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a license agreement and acquired software related to the imaging, navigation and robotics (“INR”) division for a total consideration of €8.0 million ($9.4 million). An initial payment of €4.0 million ($4.7 million) was made at closing and recorded as a developed technology intangible asset, with the remaining €4.0 million ($4.7 million) paid in the first quarter of 2026. The asset will be amortized over its estimated useful life of seven years.
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a license agreement for certain patents of medical device technology in the spine field for a total of $5.0 million due at closing and a 1 percent license fee on future sales of products developed and covered under the license agreement. The Company recorded $5.0 million of intangible assets, with a useful life of 10.1 years.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed a share acquisition of a biotech company focused on research and development for hemostasis solutions. The fair value of the assets acquired was concentrated in a similar identified asset, in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) of the acquired technology, thus satisfying the requirements of the screen test in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. At the date of the acquisition, the Company determined that the development of the projects underway had not yet reached technological feasibility and that the research in process had no alternative future use. Accordingly, the acquired IPR&D of $12.6 million was charged to research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The purchase price consisted of $12.0 million of cash paid at closing. The transaction also provides for $12.0 million of contingent consideration which is payable upon meeting the Good Manufacturing Practice milestones, as promulgated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), and consideration of $10.0 million contingent upon the developed products obtaining approval from the FDA. As of September 30, 2026, the milestones have not been met and as such, contingent consideration has not been recorded in this asset acquisition.
Other Business Combinations
During the third quarter of 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Higgs Boson Health, a digital healthcare experience company. The acquisition was not material to the overall condensed consolidated financial statements during the periods presented and has been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price consisted of approximately $7.6 million of cash paid at closing, $6.5 million in contingent consideration payments, $2.2 million of developed technology, and $0.2 million of other net identifiable tangible assets, resulting in goodwill of $11.7 million based on the estimated fair value. Goodwill is primarily comprised of assembled workforce, expected synergies with integration into our product portfolio, and future technologies yet to be developed. The contingent payments for this acquisition are based upon achieving various performance milestones over a period of two years from the closing date and, if the applicable milestones are achieved, will be paid in cash. The allocation of the purchase price for this acquisition has been prepared on a preliminary basis and changes to the allocation of certain assets and liabilities may occur as additional information becomes available.
During the third quarter of 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Synaptive Medical, a medical technology company focused on developing solutions for complex cranial procedures. The acquisition was not material to the overall condensed consolidated financial statements during the periods presented and has been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company in connection with this acquisition was $8.7 million. The preliminary purchase price allocation as of September 30, 2026, included net identifiable tangible assets of $2.7 million and identifiable intangible assets of $2.0 million, resulting in goodwill of $4.0 million. Goodwill is primarily comprised of expected synergies. The allocation of the purchase price for this acquisition has been prepared on a preliminary basis and changes to the allocation of certain assets and liabilities may occur as additional information becomes available.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company completed one acquisition that was not material to the overall condensed consolidated financial statements during the periods presented. This acquisition has been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price consisted of approximately $0.2 million of cash paid at closing and $3.9 million in contingent consideration payments, resulting in goodwill of $3.9 million and reacquired rights of $0.2 million based on the estimated fair value. The contingent payments for this acquisition are based upon achieving various performance milestones over a period of five years and are payable in cash.
Throughout 2024, the Company completed three acquisitions that were not material to the overall condensed consolidated financial statements during the periods presented. These acquisitions have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The purchase prices in aggregate consisted of approximately $0.7 million of cash paid at closing and $25.0 million in contingent consideration payments, resulting in goodwill of $24.0 million and reacquired rights of $1.8 million based on the estimated fair values. The contingent payments for these acquisitions are based upon achieving various performance milestones over a period of five and ten years and are payable in a combination of cash and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

| Business acquisition liabilities | 101,508 | | | — | | | — | | | 101,508 | |
Our marketable securities and certain cash equivalents 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.
Fair value of the revenue-based business acquisition liabilities was determined using a discounted cash flow model, probability 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 described above:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Unobservable input | | Range | | Weighted Average* |
| Revenue risk premium | | 1.6% | - | 5.4% | | 2.5% |
| Revenue volatility | | 14.0% | - | 15.8% | | 14.8% |
| Discount rate | | 4.9% | - | 8.5% | | 5.3% |
| Projected year of payment | | 2026 | - | 2035 | | |
* The weighted average rates were calculated based on the relative fair value of each business acquisition liability.
The change in the carrying value of the business acquisition liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, included the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Line of Credit
In September 2023, we entered into an unsecured credit agreement with U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent, Citizens Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, Royal Bank of Canada, as documentation agent, U.S. Bank National Association and Citizens Bank, N.A., as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners, and the other lenders referred to therein (the “September 2023 Credit Agreement”), that provides a revolving credit facility permitting borrowings up to $400.0 million and has a termination date of September 27, 2028. We may request an increase in the revolving commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed (i) $200 million or (ii) an unlimited amount, so long as the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the September 2023 Credit Agreement) is at least 0.25 to 1.00 less than the applicable Leverage Ratio then required under the September 2023 Credit Agreement. Revolving loans under the September 2023 Credit Agreement bear interest at either a base rate or the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the September 2023 Credit Agreement) plus, in each case, an applicable margin, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the September 2023 Credit Agreement. The Applicable Margin ranges from 0.125% to 0.625% for the Base Rate and 1.125% to 1.625% for the Term SOFR Rate (each as defined in the September 2023 Credit Agreement). We may also request Swingline Loans at either the Base Rate or the Daily Term SOFR Rate (each as defined in the September 2023 Credit Agreement). The September 2023 Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The September 2023 Credit Agreement contains financial and other customary covenants, including a funded net indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA ratio. As of September 30, 2026, we had no outstanding borrowings under the September 2023 Credit Agreement and we were in compliance with all covenants.

NOTE 12. EQUITY
Share Repurchases
On May 15, 2025, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $500.0 million of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (“Class A Common”). Repurchases may be made through privately negotiated transactions or open market transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 1.9 million and 3.5 million shares for a total of $142.9 million and $279.0 million, at an average price of $74.61 and $78.46 per share, respectively, under this repurchase program. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had a remaining authorization to repurchase a total of $111.0 million of the Company’s Class A Common. On November 2, 2026, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase an additional $500.0 million of shares of its Class A Common under the repurchase program. For additional information, see Note 19. Subsequent Events.
Shares repurchased by the Company are accounted for under the constructive retirement method, in which the shares repurchased are immediately retired, as there is no plan to reissue the shares. The value of the retired shares includes the 1% excise tax accrual as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The Company made an accounting policy election to charge the excess of repurchase price over par value entirely to retained earnings.
Common Stock
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for a total of 775,000,000 authorized shares of common stock. Of the authorized number of shares of common stock, 500,000,000 shares are designated as Class A Common, and 275,000,000 shares are designated as the Class B Common Stock (“Class B Common”).
The holders of Class A Common are entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common held. The holders of Class B Common are entitled to 10 votes for each share of Class B Common held. Each share of our Class B Common is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of our Class A Common. In addition, each share of our Class B Common will convert automatically into one share of our Class A Common upon any transfer, whether or not for value, except for permitted transfers. For more details relating to the conversion of our Class B Common, please see “Description of Securities of the Registrant” filed as Exhibit 4.2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026.

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 is anti-dilutive. For purposes of this calculation, common stock equivalents include the Company’s stock options, unvested RSUs, and performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”). These 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 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively:

NOTE 13. STOCK-BASED AWARDS
We have four stock plans: our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended to date, the “2021 Plan”), the NuVasive 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “NuVasive 2014 Plan”), and the Ellipse Technologies 2015 Incentive Award Plan (the “Ellipse 2015 Plan” and, together with the 2012 Plan, the 2021 Plan, and the NuVasive 2014 Plan, the “Plans”). The 2021 Plan is the only plan pursuant to which new awards may be granted.
The 2012 Plan was approved by our Board in March 2012, and by our stockholders in June 2012. The 2012 Plan terminated as to new awards pursuant to its terms in 2022. Following effectiveness of the 2021 Plan, we have not issued any additional awards under the 2012 Plan; however, awards previously granted under the 2012 Plan remain outstanding and are administered by our Board under the terms and conditions of the 2012 Plan.
The 2021 Plan was approved by our Board in March 2021, and by our stockholders in June 2021. The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to provide incentives to employees, directors, and consultants of Globus. The 2021 Plan is administered by the Board or its delegates. Under the 2021 Plan, as amended to date, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common that are able to be issued subject to options and other awards is equal to the sum of (i) 12,000,000 shares, (ii) any shares available for issuance under the 2012 Plan as of June 3, 2021 and (iii) any shares underlying awards outstanding under the 2012 Plan or 2021 Plan as of June 3, 2021 that, on or after that date, are forfeited, terminated, expired or lapse for any reason, or are settled for cash without delivery of shares. The number of shares that may be issued or transferred pursuant to incentive stock options under the 2021 Plan is limited to 12,000,000 shares. The shares of Class A Common covered by the 2021 Plan include authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or shares of Class A Common purchased on the open market. The number, type of awards, exercise price, and vesting terms are determined by the Board or its delegates in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Plan. The options granted expire on a date specified by the Board, which generally is ten years from the grant date. Options granted to employees generally vest in varying installments over a four-year period.
In connection with the NuVasive Merger, the Company assumed outstanding awards for the RSUs and PRSUs under the NuVasive 2014 Plan and the Ellipse 2015 Plan in accordance with the terms in the NuVasive Merger Agreement. The issuance amount of the PRSUs is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Share payout levels range from 0% to 100% depending on the respective terms of an award.
As of September 30, 2026, pursuant to the 2021 Plan, the NuVasive 2014 Plan and the Ellipse 2015 Plan, there were 14,008,200 shares, 0 shares and 2,868 shares, respectively, of Class A Common reserved for issuance and 4,573,307 shares, 0 shares and 0 shares, respectively, of Class A Common available for future grants.

NOTE 14. INCOME TAXES
In computing our income tax provision, we make certain estimates and judgments, such as estimated annual taxable income or loss, annual effective tax rate, 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 One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law in 2025 and, among other things, modifies the international tax regime and extends or makes permanent various provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, including bonus depreciation and research and development expensing. The provisions of the OBBBA for accelerated depreciation and research and development expenses reduce our cash income tax expense for 2025 and 2026, and the modifications to the international tax provisions of the OBBBA reduce our tax rate for 2026.
The following table provides a summary of our effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| 2026 | | 2025 | | 2026 | | 2025 |
| Effective income tax rate | 23.0% | | 17.4% | | 21.3% | | 8.8% |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in the effective tax rate was predominately due to a one-time tax benefit in the prior period related to state valuation allowance release and impact of the non-taxable bargain purchase gain, which did not take place during 2026.
NOTE 15. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS
The Company recorded employee termination benefits as a part of the 2024 Synergy Plan and 2025 Strategic Integration Plan. The 2024 Synergy Plan was designed to optimize the organizational structure of Globus by reducing the size of our workforce. Impacted employees were notified during the first and third quarters of 2024 and the second quarter of 2025.
The 2025 Strategic Integration Plan was implemented to streamline operations. Impacted employees were notified during the second quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026.

NOTE 16. LEASES
The Company leases certain equipment, vehicles, office and storage facilities via various operating and financing lease agreements. Our leases have initial lease terms ranging from one year to seventeen years. Certain lease agreements require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance, and provide options to extend the term beyond the initial lease termination date. We use judgment to determine whether it is reasonably possible that we will extend the lease beyond the initial term and the length of the possible extension. Leases that have terms of less than 12 months are treated as short-term and we do not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for such leases. We generally estimate discount rates using our incremental borrowing rate, and based on other information available, at commencement date of a lease when determining the present value of future payments, as most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate.
The Company includes financing lease right-of-use assets in other assets, short-term financing lease liabilities in accrued expenses, and long-term financing lease liabilities in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease expense is recognized, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, as a component of operating income on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Finance leases amortize the right-of-use assets and amortize the interest on the lease liability over the term of the lease.
Amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet were as follows as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

NOTE 17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
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 (“Moskowitz”) filed suit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas for patent infringement. Moskowitz, a non-practicing entity, alleged that Globus willfully infringed one or more claims of six patents by making, using, offering for sale or selling the COALITION MIS®, CORBEL®, MAGNIFY®-S, HEDRON IATM, 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 sought 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. On December 14, 2023, a jury returned a defense verdict in favor of Globus. On September 30, 2024, Moskowitz filed an appeal of the verdict. On September 11, 2026, the appeals court affirmed the defense verdict in favor of Globus, and the litigation has concluded.
Pimenta Litigation
On April 2, 2018, Dr. Luiz Pimenta filed suit against NuVasive in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego (the “Court”) for breach of contract alleging NuVasive improperly terminated the Clinical Advisor Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the parties (the “Pimenta Litigation”). Dr. Pimenta sought monetary damages totaling $97 million, later reduced to $82 million, in the form of unpaid royalties relating to a number of NuVasive products. On September 13, 2022, NuVasive filed cross claims against Dr. Pimenta for breach of contract alleging that Dr. Pimenta improperly provided inventions to Alphatec Holdings, Inc., a competitor of NuVasive, without granting NuVasive the right of first negotiation under the Agreement. NuVasive sought monetary damages in the form of lost profits related to the undisclosed inventions. On November 4, 2025, a jury returned a verdict that included $28.7 million in damages against NuVasive on which statutory interest and costs will apply. The jury did not award damages on the cross claims. On January 28, 2026, the Court ruled on the post-trial motions and interest costs associated with the damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these claims and has filed an appeal. As of September 30, 2026, we had a liability recorded of $46.4 million, which included our accrual for interest and costs based on the Court’s order, in our accrued expenses. The provision for litigation charges are within our selling, general, and administrative expense financial statement line. As of September 30, 2026, the Company deposited $46.4 million into an escrow account pending the outcome of the appeal. The restricted cash is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.
4WEB LLC Litigation
On April 25, 2023, 4WEB LLC (“4WEB”) filed suit against NuVasive in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging patent infringement. 4WEB alleges that NuVasive willfully infringes one or more claims of eleven patents by making, using, offering for sale, or selling the Modulus® line of products. 4WEB seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief. On May 2, 2024, this suit was transferred from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. The litigation is currently ongoing, and the outcome of this litigation cannot be determined, nor can we estimate a range of potential loss; therefore, we have not recorded a liability, outside of counsel fees, related to this litigation as of September 30, 2026.
NOTE 18. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that are evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. Keith W. Pfeil, Chief Executive Officer, is identified as the CODM who determines resource allocation, investing activities, and performance assessment as of September 30, 2026. The CODM uses revenue, gross profit and operating income to assess the financial performance of the segments and make key operating decisions. Our CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset or liability information.
The Company identified two operating segments, Musculoskeletal Solutions and Enabling Technologies, based on the overall management structure and business strategy. The Company aggregates these operating segments into one reportable segment, based on conclusions reached after considering relevant factors such as economic similarity, customer base, regulatory environment, production processes, nature of services and products provided, and our comprehensive approach to product development and offerings targeting patient needs through procedural-based solutions.

NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 2, 2026, (the “Repurchase Program Increase Date”), the Board authorized the Company to repurchase an additional $500.0 million of its Class A Common under our existing share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program Increase”). Following the Repurchase Program Increase, approximately $611.0 million remained available for future share repurchases under the Company’s repurchase program as of the Repurchase Program Increase Date. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased under the repurchase program will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including market price of the shares, general business and market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and alternative investment opportunities. Repurchases may be made through privately negotiated transactions or open market transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time.
