SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026.
In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary, which are of a normal and recurring nature, for the fair presentation of our financial position as of June 30, 2026, and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The results of operations for any interim period may not be indicative of results for the full year.
(b)Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 condensed 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 the condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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 materially from estimated results.
(d)Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), 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 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 neuromonitoring 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 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 a contract has 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.
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 include 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.
Our contract liabilities of $36.1 million and $36.9 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, are classified within deferred revenue and other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of when we expect to complete performance obligations.
The changes to contract liabilities related to deferred revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, are as follows:
(In thousands)Six Months Ended
June 30,
2026
Beginning contract liabilities$36,914 
Revenue recognized from contract liabilities(20,540)
Advance consideration received during the period19,699 
Ending contract liabilities$36,073 
(e)Marketable Securities
Our marketable securities include municipal bonds, corporate debt securities, commercial paper, asset-backed securities, securities of government, federal agency, and other sovereign obligations and are classified as available-for-sale as of June 30, 2026. Short-term and long-term marketable securities are recorded at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any change in fair value of our available-for-sale securities, which does not result in recognition or reversal of an allowance for credit loss or write-down, is recorded, net of taxes, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss on our condensed 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Interest receivable is recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets on our condensed 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. Any other impairments not recorded through allowance for credit losses is recognized in our other comprehensive income. No impairments were identified resulting from expected credit losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
(f)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. Goodwill is 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 are estimated using an income and discounted cash flow approach. We perform our annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each year. We consider a qualitative assessment when the results of the previous quantitative test indicated the reporting unit’s estimated fair value was significantly in excess of the carrying value of its net assets, and we do not believe there have been significant changes in the reporting unit’s operations that would significantly decrease its estimated fair value or significantly increase its net assets. If a quantitative assessment is performed, the evaluation includes management estimates of discounted cash flow projections based on internal future projections and/or use of a market approach by looking at market values of comparable companies.
Intangible assets consist of purchased developed technology, customer relationships, trade names, reacquired right and patents. 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.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no impairments in goodwill or finite-lived intangible assets.
(g) Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in its unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The effects of these derivative instruments are immaterial to the Company’s financial statements.
(h)Accounts Receivable and Related Valuation Accounts
Accounts receivable in the accompanying unaudited condensed 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 our 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.
(i)Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-11 Interim Reporting (Topic 270). ASU No. 2025-11 clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The objective of the amendments is to provide clarity about the current requirements, rather than evaluate whether to expand or reduce interim disclosure requirements. This ASU clarifies types of interim reporting and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. ASU No. 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the guidance prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its interim consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU No. 2025-06 simplifies the accounting for internal-use software costs by eliminating stage-based guidance and requiring deferral of capitalization when significant development uncertainty exists. ASU No. 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the guidance prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). ASU No. 2025-01 amends the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03 to clarify the initial effective date for entities that do not have an annual reporting period that ends on December 31, referred to as non-calendar year end entities. All public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively, with retrospective applications also permitted. Additionally, in December 2024, the FASB issued 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. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively, with retrospective applications also permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
(j)Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU No. 2025‑05 provides a practical expedient that allows entities to estimate expected credit losses on certain trade receivables and contract assets by assuming that current economic conditions will remain unchanged over the life of the asset. The expedient applies only to assets with contractual lives of one year or less. The Company adopted ASU No. 2025-05 as of January 1, 2026, and amendments were applied prospectively. The adoption did not have any material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision-making utility of income tax disclosures. The enhancement will provide information to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. Investors currently rely on the rate reconciliation table and other disclosures, including total income taxes paid, to evaluate income tax risks and opportunities. The Company adopted ASU No. 2023-09 as of January 1, 2025, and amendments were applied prospectively.
