2022 Guidance
The company has reaffirmed its 2022 sales guidance but reduced the EPS expectation.
Full-year net sales are once again projected to be $1.025 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is currently pegged at $1.03 billion.

Our Take
Globus Medical exited the third quarter of 2022, with an earnings miss and a revenue beat. U.S. Spine reported robust growth along with notable gains across the product portfolio in expandables, 3D printed implants, cervical and lateral offerings, biologics and pedicle screws. The gains are driven by competitive rep conversions and robotic pull-through. The competitive rep recruiting is tracking ahead of the prior year.
On the flip side, escalating costs are building pressure on the gross margin. The reduced adjusted EPS guidance stemming from continued non-operating headwindsis a major downside.
