“Our preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter of 2014 reflect growth of approximately 16% year-over-year, fueled primarily by strong growth in each of our primary businesses in the United States,” said President and Chief Executive Officer, Eric Major. “Specifically, sales increased approximately 20% year-over-year in both our Complex Spine and MIS businesses, and we saw degenerative sales increase by almost 30% this quarter. These results represent a continuation of our strong performance in fiscal year 2014—our first as a public company—a year in which we executed on our goal of increasing market penetration and on expansion of our innovative products. We remain focused on increasing our share of the $2.6 billion global complex spine and minimally invasive surgery markets and on driving shareholder value creation going forward.”
