REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Globus Medical, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Globus Medical, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 20, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Inventories Valuation – Refer to Notes 2 and 7 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Management periodically evaluates the carrying value of inventories in relation to the forecasts of product demand, which takes into consideration the estimated life cycle of product releases. When quantities on hand exceed sales forecasts, a write-down is recorded for such excess inventories. Changes in assumptions of product demand could have a significant impact on the amount of write-down recorded.
Given the inherent uncertainty in forecasting product demand, including the impact of product releases, auditing the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our procedures related to management’s forecasts of product demand used to record a write-down for excess and obsolete inventories included the following, among others:
63
Table of Contents
• We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s inventory valuation model, including those over management’s development and approval of product demand forecasts.
• We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast product demand by comparing actual results to management’s historical estimates.
• We selected a sample of products and verified that the product demand forecasts were supported by historical sales data and other current information.
• We performed corroborative inquiries with the personnel responsible for product development and sales forecasting to evaluate the reasonableness of the product demand forecasts.
• We tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Globus Medical, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Globus Medical, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, of the Company and our report dated February 20, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Upon the consummation of the NuVasive Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of NuVasive, $ 0.001 par value per share, was converted into 0.75 fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Class A Common”), and the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Refer to Note 3, Asset acquisitions and Business Combinations for further information.
Globus was deemed to be the accounting acquirer of NuVasive for accounting purposes under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Accordingly, prior periods within these consolidated financial statements may not be comparable.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying 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 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 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 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 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 from estimated results.
(d) Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, 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 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, 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 IONM 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 policy is to classify shipping and handling costs billed to customers as sales and the related expenses as cost of sales.
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 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 .
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.
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 control, which is generally when we transfer the title to the goods, provided there are no remaining performance obligations that can affect the customer’s final acceptance of the sale. For Musculoskeletal Solutions service transactions, we recognize revenue in the period the service is performed for the amount of consideration expected to be received. In certain cases, we offer the ability for customers to lease surgical instrumentation primarily on a non-sales type basis.
The majority of 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 an observable price to determine the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Revenue for the performance obligations recognized at a point of time is recognized when we transfer control to the customer, which is generally at the point of shipment, but can also be at either delivery or installation, depending on the terms of the arrangement . In certain cases, we offer the ability for customers to lease enabling technologies primarily on a non-sales type basis.

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.

(e) Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, are primarily marketable securities and accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of entities comprising our customer base. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral.
There was no customer that accounted for 10% or more of sales for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 , respectively.
(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents
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, government securities and corporate debt securities are stated at fair value.
(g) Marketable Securities
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 December 31, 2024 and 2023. Short-term and long-term marketable securities are recorded at fair value on our 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 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 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Interest receivable is recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets on our 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 consolidated statements of operations. Any other impairments not recorded through allowance for credit losses is recognized in our other comprehensive income.
(h) Fair Value Measurements
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.
73
Table of Contents
GLOBUS MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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.
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 consolidated balance sheets, and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recognized in acquisition-related costs in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The fair value of contingent restricted stock unit grants (“RSUs”) is recorded as additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet on the day of the grant due to the remote likelihood of forfeiture.
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.
(i) Inventories
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.
(j) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Additions or improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method over the related useful lives of the assets.
When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the related property, equipment, and accumulated depreciation amounts are relieved from the accounts, and any gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
(k) 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. We first consider qualitative indicators of the fair value of a reporting unit when it is unlikely that a reporting unit has impaired goodwill. Goodwill may also be 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 may be estimated using an income or discounted cash flow approach. We perform our annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each year.
Intangible assets consist of purchased developed technology, customer relationships, in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), supplier network, patents, 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 1 to 21 years. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are tested 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.
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.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, there were no impairments in goodwill, finite-lived intangible assets, or IPR&D.

GLOBUS MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be fully recoverable. An impairment is assessed when the undiscounted future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of an asset group are less than its carrying value. 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 group. Our fair value methodology is based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, an estimate of fair value is made based on prices of similar assets or other valuation techniques including present value techniques. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 , we did no t record any impairment charges related to long-lived assets.
(m) Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists primarily of costs from our manufacturing operations, costs of products purchased from third-party suppliers, reserves for excess and obsolete inventory, depreciation of surgical instruments and cases, royalties, shipping, inspection and related costs incurred in making our products available for sale or use.
(n) Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include salaries, employee benefits, supplies, consulting services, clinical services and clinical trial costs, and facilities costs. Costs incurred in obtaining technology licenses and patents are charged immediately to research and development expense if the technology licensed has not reached technological feasibility and has no alternative future use.
(o) Stock -Based Compensation
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. Expense for performance-based restricted stock units is recognized when the performance condition is deemed to be probable. 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 respective fair values of restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units are estimated on the day of grant based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock.
We assumed equity-classified awards for certain NuVasive RSUs, and performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), as part of the NuVasive Merger. These RSUs and PRSUs are measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award. The fair value of equity instruments that are expected to vest is recognized and amortized over the requisite service period. The Company has granted awards with up to five-year graded or cliff vesting terms (in each case, with service through the date of vesting being required). No exercise price or other monetary payment is required for receipt of the shares issued in settlement of the respective award; instead, consideration is furnished in the form of the participant’s service to the Company.
The fair value of RSUs including PRSUs with pre-defined performance criteria is based on the stock price on the date of grant whereas the expense for PRSUs with pre-defined performance criteria is adjusted with the probability of achievement of such performance criteria at each period end.
(p) Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in its 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 expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The effects of these derivative instruments are immaterial to the Company’s financial statements.
75
Table of Contents
GLOBUS MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(q) Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Other comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes net of tax, unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s marketable debt securities and foreign currency translation adjustments.
(r) Provision for Litigation
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. We record a liability in the 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 within 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. We expense legal costs related to loss contingencies as incurred.
(s) Acquisition-Related Costs
Acquisition-related costs represents the change in fair value of business acquisition-related contingent consideration and specific costs related to the consummation of the acquisition process such as banker fees, legal fees and other acquisition-related professional fees.
(t ) Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is generally their local currency. Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries, and intercompany receivables and payables of a long-term investment nature, are translated at the period end currency exchange rate and revenues and expenses are translated at an average currency exchange rate for the period. The resulting foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses arising from intercompany foreign transactions are included in other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
(u) Restructuring Costs
Restructuring costs represent costs associated with the Company’s 2024 Synergy Plan. This plan was designed to optimize the organizational structure, realize synergies from the NuVasive Merger and leverage the strength of both Globus and NuVasive. As a result of aligning the cost structure of the Company’s businesses and corporate functions with its financial objectives, the Company also recorded employee separation charges and one-time termination benefits.
(v) Accounts Receivable and Related Valuation Accounts
Accounts receivable in the accompanying 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 its 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 its 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.
(w) Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which such items are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established to offset any deferred tax assets if, based upon available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
76
Table of Contents
GLOBUS MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions and in evaluating tax positions. We will establish additional provisions for income taxes when, despite the belief that tax positions are fully supportable, there remain certain positions that do not meet the minimum probability threshold that a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authority. In the normal course of business, we and our subsidiaries are examined by various federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. We regularly assess the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years in determining the adequacy of the provision for income taxes. We periodically assess the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjust the income tax provision, the current tax liability, and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known.
(x) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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.

NOTE 3. ASSET ACQUISITIONS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Asset Acquisitions
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed a share acquisition of a biotechnology company focused on research and development for hemostasis solutions. The fair value of the assets acquired are concentrated in a similar identified asset, IPR&D of the acquired technology, thus satisfying the requirements of the screen test in ASC 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 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 Process 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. Contingent consideration will not be recorded in this asset acquisition until the milestone is met.
Business Combinations
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company completed one acquisition that was not material to the overall consolidated financial statements during the periods presented. This acquisition has been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price consisted of approximately $ 0.1 million of cash paid at closing and $ 4.0 million in contingent consideration payments, resulting in goodwill of $ 4.1 million based on the estimated fair values. The contingent payments for this acquisition are based upon achieving various performance milestones over a period of five years and are payable in cash.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company completed one acquisition that was not material to the overall consolidated financial statements during the periods presented. This acquisition has been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price consisted of approximately $ 0.1 million of cash paid at closing and $ 1.9 million in contingent consideration payments, resulting in goodwill of $ 2.0 million based on the estimated fair values. The contingent payments for this acquisition are based upon achieving various performance milestones over a period of five years and are payable in cash.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed one acquisition that was not material to the overall consolidated financial statements during the periods presented. This acquisition has been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price consisted of approximately $ 0.5 million of cash paid at closing and $ 19.1 million of contingent consideration payments, resulting in goodwill of $ 17.9 million and reacquired rights of $ 1.8 million based on the estimated fair values. The contingent payments for this acquisition are based upon achieving various performance milestones over a period of 10 years and are payable in a combination of cash and RSUs.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company acquired the membership interests of Harvest Biologics LLC, which engages in the business of selling systems that produce autologous biologics. The purchase price consisted of approximately $ 30.0 million of cash paid at closing, plus $ 0.1 million of preliminary post-closing adjustments. The Company recorded identifiable net assets, based on their estimated fair values, for inventory of $ 3.0 million, goodwill of $ 14.2 million, customer relationships and other intangibles of $ 10.5 million with a weighted average useful life of 20 years, and developed technology of $ 2.4 million with a weighted average useful life of 8 years. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation of the assets and liabilities acquired within one year from the date of acquisition.
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company completed one acquisition that was not material to the overall consolidated financial statements during the periods presented. This acquisition has been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price consisted of approximately $ 0.2 million of cash paid at closing and $ 4.4 million of contingent consideration payments, resulting in goodwill of $ 4.6 million based on the estimated fair values. The contingent payments for this acquisition are based upon achieving various performance milestones over a period of 10 years and are payable in a combination of cash and RSUs.

On September 1, 2023, pursuant to that certain merger agreement with NuVasive and Merger Sub, Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), merged with and into NuVasive, with NuVasive surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “NuVasive Merger”). Upon the consummation of the NuVasive Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of NuVasive, $ 0.001 par value per share, was converted into 0.75 fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Class A Common, and the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.
As part of the NuVasive Merger, the Company assumed equity awards for certain NuVasive RSUs and NuVasive PRSUs in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Certain awards included a change in control provision (single trigger) which accelerated the vesting of the awards on the closing date of the NuVasive Merger. These awards were considered as part of the total purchase price. The unvested awards will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the original award agreement, except for certain PRSUs that were converted into RSUs. Once vested, the holders will receive shares of the Company’s Class A Common. Of the total consideration for the assumed equity awards, $ 28.6 million was allocated to the purchase price and $ 42.3 million was deemed compensatory as it was attributable to post acquisition vesting. Of the $ 42.3 million of total compensation related to the assumed awards, $ 12.9 million was expensed on the acquisition date due to accelerated vesting of the awards, recognized as NuVasive Merger-related costs, and $ 29.4 million relates to future services and will be expensed over the remaining service periods of the unvested awards on a straight-line basis. Of the $ 29.4 million related to future services, $ 16.9 million of expense has been recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Concurrently with the NuVasive Merger, the Company repaid the outstanding $ 420.8 million under NuVasive’s revolving senior credit facility in addition to assuming the 0.375 % Senior Convertible Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), the privately negotiated call options (the “2025 Hedges”) and the privately negotiated warrants (the “2025 Warrants”).

Details of our valuation methodology and significant inputs for fair value measurements are included below. The fair value measurements for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, therefore, represent Level 3 measurements.
The fair value of work-in-process and finished goods inventory utilizes a sales comparison approach which estimates the selling price of the inventory in completed condition less costs of disposal and a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort.
The fair value of property and equipment utilizes a combination of the cost approach, income approach, and sales comparison approach less amounts for capitalized research and development costs existing on NuVasive’s closing balance sheet.
The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was determined using variations of the income approach, namely the multi-period excess earnings and relief from royalty methodologies. The most significant assumptions applied in the development of the intangible asset fair values include: the amount and timing of future cash flows, the selection of discount and royalty rates, and the assessment of the asset’s economic life.
The identifiable intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of NuVasive’s identifiable intangible assets acquired and their amortization period (in years):

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 .
The bifurcated conversion option and 2025 Hedges are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, based on implied equity volatility. The estimated fair value of the 2025 Notes, inclusive of the embedded conversion option, at December 31, 2024 was $ 443.0 million. The fair value was determined based on the quoted price of the 2025 Notes in an active market on the last trading day of the reporting period and has been classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
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:

Purchase price contingent consideration includes obligations acquired in the NuVasive Merger in addition to other immaterial acquisitions. Changes in the fair value of business acquisition liabilities are driven by changes in market conditions and the achievement of certain performance conditions.
We translate the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar into the U.S. dollar for consolidation using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Some of our reporting entities conduct a portion of their business in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. These transactions give rise to receivables and payables that are denominated in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. The value of these receivables and payables is subject to changes in currency exchange rates from the point at which the transactions are originated until the settlement in cash. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses in the value of these receivables and payables are included in the determination of net income or loss. Foreign currency translation gain/(loss), which include gains and losses from derivative instruments, was a loss of $ 43.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and a gain of $ 14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, and are included in other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
To manage foreign currency exposure risks, we may use derivatives for activities in entities that have short-term intercompany receivables and payables denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency. The fair value is based on a quoted market price (Level 1). As of December 31, 2024, a notional principal amount of $ 5.0 million was outstanding to hedge currency risk relative to our foreign currency-denominated receivables and payables. Derivative instrument net gain on our forward exchange contracts were $ 1.4 million as of December 31, 2024 and are included in other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The fair value of the forward exchange contract derivative instrument asset (liability) was di minimis as of December 31, 2024. The derivative instruments are recorded in other current assets or other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets commensurate with the nature of the instrument at period end.

The net step-up was composed of $ 3.1 million for work in process and $ 216.5 million for finished goods. The amortization of the inventory step-up recorded in product cost of sales was $ 215.4 million the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Of the $ 215.4 million amortization, $ 5.5 million related to a prior period catchup of amortization associated with the final measurement period valuation adjustment recorded to the inventory balance.
During years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, net adjustments to cost of sales related to excess and obsolete inventory were $ 23.4 million, $ 10.9 million, and $ 6.4 million, respectively. The net adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 reflect a combination of additional expense for excess and obsolete related provisions ($ 34.2 million, $ 18.1 million, and $ 18.5 million, respectively) offset by sales and disposals ($ 10.8 million, $ 7.2 million, and $ 12.1 million, respectively) of inventory for which an excess and obsolete provision was previously recorded.

We may request an increase in the revolving commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed (i) $ 200 million or (ii) 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, an unlimited amount. 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.

We may also request Swingline Loans (as defined in the September 2023 Credit Agreement) at either the Base Rate or the Daily Term SOFR Rate. 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 December 31, 2024, we have no t borrowed under the September 2023 Credit Agreement and we were in compliance with all covenants.
0.375% Senior Convertible Notes due 2025
On September 1, 2023, in connection with the closing of the NuVasive Merger, the Company, NuVasive and Wilmington Trust National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) entered into a supplemental agreement (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, dated March 2, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between NuVasive and the Trustee, relating to NuVasive’s $ 450.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.375 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2025. As of the closing date of the NuVasive Merger, $ 450 million of aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes were outstanding.
Pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture, the 2025 Notes are convertible into the Company’s Class A Common at a conversion rate of 8.0399 shares per $ 1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $ 124.38 per share, subject to adjustments. The 2025 Notes may be settled in cash, stock, or a combination thereof, solely at the Company’s discretion. Pursuant to the terms of the First Supplemental Indenture, Globus agreed to guarantee NuVasive’s obligations under the Indenture. The 2025 Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.375 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 2025 Notes mature on March 15, 2025 , unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased in accordance with their terms.
The NuVasive Merger constituted a Merger Event as defined in the Base Indenture. In the event of a Merger Event, the Company is required to execute a supplemental indenture providing for (i) each holder of 2025 Notes with the right to convert each $ 1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes into the same type of consideration that holders would have been entitled to receive if such holders had held a number of shares of NuVasive Common Stock equal to the applicable conversion rate in effect immediately prior to such Merger Event, and (ii) subsequent adjustments to the conversion rate set forth in the Base Indenture.
Until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding March 15, 2025, holders may convert their 2025 Notes at any time. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if the Company issues a notice of redemption, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2025 Notes in connection with such a corporate event or in connection with such redemption in certain circumstances.
No principal payments are due on the 2025 Notes prior to maturity. Other than restrictions relating to certain fundamental changes and consolidations, mergers or asset sales and customary anti-dilution adjustments, the 2025 Notes do not contain any financial covenants and do not restrict the Company from conducting significant restructurings, paying dividends or issuing or repurchasing any of its other securities.
Upon the initial recognition of the 2025 Notes pursuant to the purchase accounting for the NuVasive Merger, the embedded conversion feature does not meet the equity scope exception described in ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The embedded conversion feature is bifurcated and presented as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet with subsequent measurement at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as “ Other income/(expense)”. The Company recognized, at the NuVasive Merger closing, the embedded conversion feature at fair value of $ 1.7 million and allocated the residual $ 407.8 million of the 2025 Notes fair value to the host debt instrument. As of the December 31, 2024, the fair value of the embedded conversion feature was $ 21.7 thousand. As a result of the NuVasive Merger and recognizing the fair value of the 2025 Notes, along with the embedded conversion feature, as of the acquisition date, the Company recorded $ 42.2 million debt discount to be accreted as interest expense over the life of the notes.
2025 Hedges
On September 1, 2023, in connection with the closing of the NuVasive Merger, the Company, NuVasive, and certain dealers entered into amendment and guarantee agreements with respect to privately negotiated call option transactions (the “2025 Hedges”) pursuant to which NuVasive purchased options from such dealers exercisable into its own common stock in connection with the sale of the 2025 Notes. Pursuant to such amendment and guarantee agreements, the 2025 Hedges are exercisable into Globus Class A Common in certain circumstances and the Company guaranteed NuVasive’s obligations under the 2025 Hedges. Subject to the amended 2025 Hedges, the Company is entitled to purchase up to 3,617,955 shares of the Company’s Class A Common at a strike price of $ 124.38 . The 2025 Hedges will expire on the second scheduled

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
trading day immediately preceding March 15, 2025 and are expected to reduce the potential equity dilution upon conversion of the 2025 Notes if the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the strike price of the 2025 Hedges.
In accordance with ASC 805, the Company recognized the 2025 Hedges at an acquisition date fair value of $ 1.7 million. The 2025 Hedges do not meet the equity scope exception described in ASC 815-40, Contract in Entity’s Own Equity, and will be presented as assets on the consolidated balance sheet with subsequent measurement at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as “ Other income/(expense)”. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the 2025 Hedges is $ 21.7 thousand recorded within the Other Assets with the consolidated balance sheet. An assumed exercise of the 2025 Hedges by NuVasive is considered anti-dilutive since the effect of the inclusion would always be anti-dilutive with respect to the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
2025 Warrants
On September 1, 2023, in connection with the closing of the NuVasive Merger, the Company, NuVasive, and certain dealers entered into amendment and guarantee agreements with respect to privately negotiated warrant transactions (the “2025 Warrants”), pursuant to which NuVasive sold warrants to such dealers for its own common stock in connection with the initial sale of the 2025 Notes. Pursuant to such amendment and guarantee agreements, the warrants are exercisable into Globus Class A Common in certain circumstances and the Company guaranteed NuVasive’s obligations under the 2025 Warrants. Subject to the amended 2025 Warrants, the holders of the 2025 Warrants are entitled to purchase up to 3,617,955 shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price of $ 170.45 . The 2025 Warrants will expire on various dates from June 2025 through October 2025 and may be settled in net shares or cash, at the Company’s election.
In accordance with ASC 805, the Company recognized the 2025 Warrants at an acquisition date fair value of $ 0.6 million within additional paid-in capital. The 2025 Warrants could have a dilutive effect on the Company’s earnings per share to the extent that the price of the Company’s common stock during a given measurement period exceeds the strike price of the 2025 Warrants, which is $ 170.45 per share. The Company uses the treasury share method for assumed exercise of its 2025 Warrants to compute the weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share.
NOTE 12. EQUITY
Share Repurchases
On March 11, 2020, the Company announced a share repurchase program, which authorized the Company to repurchase up to $ 200.0 million of the Company’s Class A Common. On March 4, 2022, the share repurchase program was expanded by authorizing the Company to repurchase an additional $ 200.0 million of the Company’s Class A Common. On September 27, 2023, the share repurchase program was expanded by authorizing the Company to repurchase an additional $ 350.0 million of the Company’s Class A Common. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time.
The Company repurchased 1.6 million shares under this program at an average price of $ 52.14 , for a total dollar amount of $ 84.8 million during the 12 months ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has remaining authorization to repurchase a total of $ 190.3 million of the Company’s Class A Common. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on various factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, debt covenant requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other market conditions. Funding of share repurchases is expected to come from operating cash flows and excess cash.
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 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 “Exhibit 4.2, Description of Securities of the Registrant” filed herein. The holders of Class A Common and

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, unvested RSUs, and 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.

In accordance with ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20), the Company applies the if-converted method in computing the effect of the 2025 Notes on diluted net income per share. For periods in which the Company reports net income, the numerator of the diluted per share computation is adjusted for interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs, net of tax, and the denominator is adjusted for the weighted average number of shares into which each of the 2025 Notes could be converted. The effect is only included in the calculation of diluted net income per share for those 2025 Notes which reduce net income per share.
NOTE 13. STOCK-BASED AWARDS
We have four stock plans: our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) and our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (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”).

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that we will realize a portion of the benefits of these deductible differences at December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company has established valuation allowances of $ 182.6 million and $ 190.8 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily related to the uncertainty of the utilization of certain deferred tax assets comprised of tax loss carryforwards in various jurisdictions. The decrease in the valuation allowance during 2024 was primarily driven by the internal reorganization, as well as the mix of earnings in loss entities. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

GLOBUS MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
At December 31, 2024, the Company had $ 1.3 million and $ 326.8 million of federal and foreign net operating loss carryforwards, respectively. Federal net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2026 and foreign net operating losses carry forward indefinitely.
The Company has California research and development income tax credit carryforwards of $ 40.1 million. The California credits can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has foreign tax credit carryforwards of $ 2.1 million which expire beginning in 2027 .
Due to the “change of ownership” provision of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, utilization of the Company’s net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation against taxable income in future periods. As a result of any future ownership changes, the annual limitation of loss and credit carryforwards may cause them to expire before ultimately becoming available to reduce future income tax liabilities.

The additions related to the prior year tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $ 27.9 million are related to the historical positions from the NuVasive Merger, partially recorded to goodwill using the acquisition method of accounting. The reduction s related to prior year tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $ 7.9 million are primarily related to the resolution of certain foreign and U.S. federal tax positions.
The impact of our unrecognized tax benefits to the effective income tax rate is as follows:

Due to recent tax reform in the U.S. and favorable treaties between the U.S. and countries in which the Company’s controlled foreign corporations operate, the Company has the ability to repatriate earnings without incurring additional tax liabilities. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability for taxes associated with any future distributions of these undistributed earnings.
Interest and penalties are recorded in the statement of income as provision for income taxes. The total interest and penalties recorded in the statement of income was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. We do not expect a significant change in our uncertain tax benefits in the next twelve months. We are subject to federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax examination by tax authorities in major jurisdictions for years prior to 2020 as of December 31, 2024.
NOTE 15. 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 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 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 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. On December 14, 2023, a jury returned a defense verdict in favor of Globus. On September 30, 2024, Moskowitz Family LLC filed an appeal to the verdict. The outcome of this litigation cannot be determined, nor can we estimate a range of potential loss, therefore, we have no t recorded a liability, outside of counsel fees, related to this litigation as of December 31, 2024.
NOTE 16. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS
As of December 31,2024, the Company incurred restructuring and other costs primarily related to employee termination benefits as a part of the Company’s 2024 Synergy Plan. The Company’s 2024 Synergy Plan was designed to optimize the organizational structure of Globus by reducing the size of our workforce. Impacted employees were notified during January 2024 and July 2024. Totals include stock-based compensation expense, classified in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations , where applicable.

NOTE 17. 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 for 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 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 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.

NOTE 19. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“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. Daniel T. Scavilla, Chief Executive Officer is identified as the CODM who determines resource allocation, investing activities, and performance assessment. The CODM uses revenue, gross profit and operating income to assess 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 20. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 6, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Nevro Merger Agreement”) with Nevro Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Nevro”), and Palmer Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Palmer Merger Sub”). The Nevro Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Palmer Merger Sub will merge with and into Nevro (the “Nevro Merger”), with Nevro surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Under the Nevro Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Nevro Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $ 0.001 per share, of Nevro (“Nevro Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than certain excluded shares as described in the Nevro Merger Agreement) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $ 5.85 per share of Nevro Common Stock. The transaction represents a total equity value of approximately $ 250 million.
Either Nevro or Globus may terminate the Nevro Merger Agreement under certain circumstances described in the Nevro Merger Agreement, resulting in a termination fee payable to the other equal to $ 10 million or $ 15 million, depending on such circumstances. Nevro will also be required to make a payment to Globus equal to $ 15 million if the Nevro Merger Agreement is terminated because Nevro’s stockholders fail to approve the Nevro Merger Agreement and, at the time of such failure, Nevro’s board of directors has not changed its recommendation to its stockholders in favor of the Nevro Merger.
The transaction is expected to close late in the second quarter of 2025, subject to the approval of Nevro’s shareholders, regulatory approval, and other customary closing conditions.
