NuVasive Announces Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- NuVasive, Inc. 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 June 30, 2020.

Second Quarter 2020 Highlights

  • Net sales decreased -30.3% to $203.6 million, or -30.2% on a constant currency basis;
  • GAAP operating margin of -18.3%; Non-GAAP operating margin of -9.8%; and
  • GAAP diluted net loss per share of -$0.98; Non-GAAP diluted net loss per share of -$0.40.

"NuVasive's second quarter performance was consistent with the preliminary results reported last month, highlighted by significantly better-than-expected net sales as a result of the upward monthly volume trend experienced in June," said J. Christopher Barry, chief executive officer of NuVasive. "While the Company continues to navigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, execution on our long-term business strategy remains a top priority as we continue advancing key research and development projects, increasing the adoption of less invasive surgical procedures in spine and strengthening our capabilities to take share globally."

A full reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the tables of this news release. Additionally, NuVasive is not reinstituting its annual financial guidance as visibility for spine surgery volumes for the remainder of the year continues to be limited and the Company is unable to predict when or how quickly elective surgery volumes will recover.

Second Quarter 2020 Results

NuVasive reported second quarter 2020 total net sales of $203.6 million, a -30.3% decrease compared to $292.1 million for the second quarter 2019. On a constant currency basis, second quarter 2020 total net sales decreased -30.2% compared to the same period last year.

For the second quarter 2020, both GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit was $123.1 million and GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin was 60.5%. These results compared to GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit of $214.5 million and GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of 73.4%, for the second quarter 2019.

The Company reported a GAAP net loss of -$50.0 million, or diluted net loss per share of -$0.98, for the second quarter 2020 compared to GAAP net income of $15.0 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.29, for the second quarter 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of -$20.4 million, or diluted net loss per share of -$0.40, for the second quarter 2020 compared to non-GAAP net income of $32.8 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.63, for the second quarter 2019.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Information

Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures such as non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP operating margin, which exclude amortization of intangible assets, business transition costs, purchased in-process research and development, one-time restructuring and related items in connection with acquisitions, investments and divestitures, non-recurring consulting fees, 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 and non-cash interest expense (excluding debt issuance cost). 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 and related items in connection with acquisitions, investments and divestitures, non-recurring consulting fees, 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 are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure.
