Third quarter net sales were $196.6 million, an increase of 7% on a reported and constant currency basis. Net loss was $(27.4) million and earnings per share ("EPS") was $(0.71) on a reported basis, representing an improvement of 8% when compared to the prior year period. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $19.2 million for the third quarter, an increase of $5.7 million, representing adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of approximately 250 basis points over the prior year period.

"Our third quarter net sales results were driven by focused execution of our key growth priorities, and we also delivered strong adjusted EBITDA margin expansion and positive free cash flow, all of which we believe keeps us on a clear course to achieve our 2024 and long-term financial targets," said Massimo Calafiore, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Highlights in the quarter included year-over-year revenue growth across each of our business segments where our performance once again was led by strength in our U.S. markets, including U.S. Spine Fixation, which grew 18%, and Bone Growth Therapies, which grew 9% overall and 13% in Fracture, further highlighting the benefit of cross-selling in our integrated spine channel. Notably, our U.S. Orthopedics business delivered a record net sales quarter and grew 15% year-over-year, benefiting from strong commercial execution. In addition to reiterating our full-year 2024 financial guidance, we are also introducing our new 2027 financial targets, which reflect our

confidence in sustainable growth trends, the strength of our differentiated and expanding product portfolio, which continues to win share, and our commercial strategy and execution. We are well-positioned to accelerate our positive momentum and deliver on our commitment to drive disciplined, profitable growth and innovation while increasing long-term shareholder value."

The Company is providing new three-year financial targets for 2025 through 2027:

6% to 7% net sales CAGR from 2025 through 2027
Mid-teens non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales for the full-year 2027
Positive free cash flow generation from 2025 through 2027

Calafiore concluded, "With a compelling combination of profitable, above-market growth and a stronger financial profile, I believe our focused commercial strategy and broad, differentiated technologies, combined with a robust innovation pipeline and our pace-setting, enabling technologies position us well to achieve these targets and deliver increased value to our shareholders."

Business Outlook

The Company is reiterating its 2024 full-year guidance as follows:

Net sales are expected to range between $795 million to $800 million, representing implied growth of 6.6% to 7.2% year-over year on a constant currency basis. These expectations are based on the current foreign currency exchange rates and do not take into account any additional potential exchange rate changes that may occur this year.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is expected to range from $64 million to $69 million.
The Company expects to continue to be free cash flow positive for the remainder of 2024.

These guidance ranges do not contemplate any potential impact to elective procedures as a result of IV fluid shortages or other hurricane-related effects.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to our business and financial outlook, which are based on our current beliefs, assumptions, intentions, plans, expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "projects," "intends," "predicts," "potential," or "continue" or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements in this communication include the Company's expectations regarding net sales, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2024, and its three-year financial targets for 2025 through 2027. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance, are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions, and are subject to risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, including the risks described in Part I, Item 1A under the heading Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Form 10-K"), and in Part II, Item 1A under the heading Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Factors that could cause future results to differ from those expressed by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, (i) our ability to maintain operations to support our customers and patients in the near-term and to capitalize on future growth opportunities, (ii) risks associated with acceptance of surgical products and procedures by surgeons and hospitals, (iii) development and acceptance of new products or product enhancements, (iv) clinical and statistical verification of the benefits achieved via the use of our products, (v) our ability to adequately manage inventory, (vi) our ability to recruit and retain management and key personnel, (vii) our success in defending legal proceedings brought against us, and (viii) the other risks and uncertainties more fully described in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). As a result of these various risks, our actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements.

Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date hereof, unless it is specifically otherwise stated to be made as of a different date. We undertake no obligation to update, and expressly disclaim any duty to update, our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of circumstances or events that arise after the date hereof, new information, or otherwise, except as required by law.

The Company is unable to provide expectations of GAAP income (loss) before income taxes, the closest comparable GAAP measures to adjusted EBITDA (which is a non-GAAP measure), on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict, without unreasonable efforts, the ultimate outcome of matters (including acquisition-related expenses, accounting fair value adjustments, and other such items) that will determine the quantitative amount of the items excluded in calculating adjusted EBITDA, which items are further described in the reconciliation tables and related descriptions below. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to the Company's results computed in accordance with GAAP.
