NuVasive Announces Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

 

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- NuVasive, Inc.,  (NASDAQ: NUVA), the leader in spine technology innovation, focused on transforming spine surgery with minimally disruptive, procedurally integrated solutions, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Third Quarter 2021

  • Net sales decreased 8.3% to $270.8 million, on a reported and constant currency basis, compared to the prior year period;
  • GAAP operating margin of (2.4%); Non-GAAP operating margin of 11.2%; and
  • GAAP diluted loss per share of $0.42; Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.32.

"The third quarter presented unexpected challenges for elective surgical procedures due to the negative impact from the resurgence of COVID-19 and healthcare staffing shortages," said J. Christopher Barry, chief executive officer of NuVasive. "Despite these external factors, our strategy remains unchanged. The Company is well-positioned with multiple vectors of growth to create increased value for our stakeholders in 2022 and beyond. With the recent Pulse commercial launch and continued adoption of our C360 portfolio—highlighted by the Simplify Cervical Disc—I am confident in our ability to further transform surgery, advance care, and change patient lives around the world."

Third Quarter 2021 Results
NuVasive reported third quarter 2021 total net sales of $270.8 million, an 8.3% decrease on a reported and constant currency basis, compared to $295.3 million in the prior year period. Third quarter 2021 total net sales were driven by new product introductions in the spine portfolio and International performance. These third quarter results were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic, healthcare staffing shortages, and NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics product availability.

For the third quarter of 2021, GAAP gross profit was $182.2 million and $197.0 million on a non-GAAP basis, compared to GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit of $210.6 million in the prior year period. GAAP gross margin was 67.3% and 72.7% on a non-GAAP basis, compared to GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of 71.3% in the prior year period.

For the third quarter of 2021, GAAP net loss was $21.6 million or diluted loss per share of $0.42, compared to GAAP net income of $5.9 million or diluted earnings per share of $0.11 in the prior year period. Non-GAAP net income was $16.9 million or diluted earnings per share of $0.32, compared to non-GAAP net income of $28.3 million or diluted earnings per share of $0.55 in the prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments were $234.6 million as of September 30, 2021.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Information
Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures such as non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude amortization of intangible assets, business transition costs, purchased in-process research and development, one-time restructuring charges, non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, inventory charges associated with product withdrawals, certain foreign currency impacts and related items in connection with acquisitions, investments and divestitures, certain litigation expenses and settlements, certain European medical device regulation costs, gains and losses from strategic investments, gains and losses from changes in fair value of derivatives, non-cash interest expense (excluding debt issuance cost) and other significant one-time items. Management also uses certain non-GAAP measures which are intended to exclude the impact of foreign exchange currency fluctuations. The measure constant currency utilizes an exchange rate that eliminates fluctuations when calculating financial performance numbers. The Company also uses measures such as free cash flow, which represents cash flow from operations less cash used in the acquisition and disposition of capital. Additionally, the Company uses an adjusted EBITDA measure which represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, business transition costs, purchased in-process research and development, one-time restructuring charges, non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, inventory charges associated with product withdrawals, certain foreign currency impacts and related items in connection with acquisitions, investments and divestitures, certain litigation expenses and settlements, certain European medical device regulation costs, gains and losses on strategic investments, gains and losses from changes in fair value of derivatives and other significant one-time items.

Management calculates the non-GAAP financial measures provided in this earnings release excluding these costs and uses these non-GAAP financial measures to enable it to further and more consistently analyze the period-to-period financial performance of its core business operations. Management believes that providing investors with these non-GAAP measures gives them additional information to enable them to assess, in the same way management assesses, the Company's current and future continuing operations. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Set forth below in the financial tables accompanying this press release are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
