NOTE 3. ASSET ACQUISITIONS AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Asset Acquisitions

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed a share acquisition of a biotechnology company focused on research and development for hemostasis solutions. The fair value of the assets acquired are concentrated in a similar identified asset, IPR&D of the acquired technology, thus satisfying the requirements of the screen test in ASC 805, Business Combinations. At the date of the acquisition, the Company determined that the development of the projects underway had not yet reached technological feasibility and that the research in process had no alternative future use. Accordingly, the acquired IPR&D of $12.6 million was charged to research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The purchase price consisted of $12.0 million of cash paid at closing. The transaction also provides for $12.0 million of contingent consideration, which is payable upon meeting the Good Manufacturing Process milestones, as promulgated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), and consideration of $10.0 million contingent upon the developed products obtaining approval from the FDA. Contingent consideration will not be recorded in this asset acquisition until the milestone is met.

Business Combinations

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company completed one acquisition that was not material to the overall consolidated financial statements during the periods presented. This acquisition has been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price consisted of approximately $0.1 million of cash paid at closing and $4.0 million in contingent consideration payments, resulting in goodwill of $4.1 million based on the estimated fair values. The contingent payments for this acquisition are based upon achieving various performance milestones over a period of five years and are payable in cash.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company completed one acquisition that was not material to the overall consolidated financial statements during the periods presented. This acquisition has been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price consisted of approximately $0.1 million of cash paid at closing and $1.9 million in contingent consideration payments, resulting in goodwill of $2.0 million based on the estimated fair values. The contingent payments for this acquisition are based upon achieving various performance milestones over a period of five years and are payable in cash.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed one acquisition that was not material to the overall consolidated financial statements during the periods presented. This acquisition has been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price consisted of approximately $0.5 million of cash paid at closing and $19.1 million of contingent consideration payments, resulting in goodwill of $17.9 million and reacquired rights of $1.8 million based on the estimated fair values. The contingent payments for this acquisition are based upon achieving various performance milestones over a period of 10 years and are payable in a combination of cash and RSUs.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company acquired the membership interests of Harvest Biologics LLC, which engages in the business of selling systems that produce autologous biologics. The purchase price consisted of approximately $30.0 million of cash paid at closing, plus $0.1 million of preliminary post-closing adjustments. The Company recorded identifiable net assets, based on their estimated fair values, for inventory of $3.0 million, goodwill of $14.2 million, customer relationships and other intangibles of $10.5 million with a weighted average useful life of 20 years, and developed technology of $2.4 million with a weighted average useful life of 8 years. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation of the assets and liabilities acquired within one year from the date of acquisition.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company completed one acquisition that was not material to the overall consolidated financial statements during the periods presented. This acquisition has been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price consisted of approximately $0.2 million of cash paid at closing and $4.4 million of contingent consideration payments, resulting in goodwill of $4.6 million based on the estimated fair values. The contingent payments for this acquisition are based upon achieving various performance milestones over a period of 10 years and are payable in a combination of cash and RSUs.

NuVasive Merger

On September 1, 2023, pursuant to that certain merger agreement with NuVasive and Merger Sub, Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), merged with and into NuVasive, with NuVasive surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “NuVasive Merger”). Upon the consummation of the NuVasive Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of NuVasive, $0.001 par value per share, was converted into 0.75 fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Class A Common, and the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

As part of the NuVasive Merger, the Company assumed equity awards for certain NuVasive RSUs and NuVasive PRSUs in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Certain awards included a change in control provision (single trigger) which accelerated the vesting of the awards on the closing date of the NuVasive Merger. These awards were considered as part of the total purchase price. The unvested awards will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the original award agreement, except for certain PRSUs that were converted into RSUs. Once vested, the holders will receive shares of the Company’s Class A Common. Of the total consideration for the assumed equity awards, $28.6 million was allocated to the purchase price and $42.3 million was deemed compensatory as it was attributable to post acquisition vesting. Of the $42.3 million of total compensation related to the assumed awards, $12.9 million was expensed on the acquisition date due to accelerated vesting of the awards, recognized as NuVasive Merger-related costs, and $29.4 million relates to future services and will be expensed over the remaining service periods of the unvested awards on a straight-line basis. Of the $29.4 million related to future services, $16.9 million of expense has been recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Concurrently with the NuVasive Merger, the Company repaid the outstanding $420.8 million under NuVasive’s revolving senior credit facility in addition to assuming the 0.375% Senior Convertible Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), the privately negotiated call options (the “2025 Hedges”) and the privately negotiated warrants (the “2025 Warrants”).

The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets is recorded to Goodwill and primarily reflects the assembled workforce and expected synergies. The majority of goodwill is non-deductible for tax purposes.

Details of our valuation methodology and significant inputs for fair value measurements are included below. The fair value measurements for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, therefore, represent Level 3 measurements.

The fair value of work-in-process and finished goods inventory utilizes a sales comparison approach which estimates the selling price of the inventory in completed condition less costs of disposal and a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort.

The fair value of property and equipment utilizes a combination of the cost approach, income approach, and sales comparison approach less amounts for capitalized research and development costs existing on NuVasive’s closing balance sheet.

The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was determined using variations of the income approach, namely the multi-period excess earnings and relief from royalty methodologies. The most significant assumptions applied in the development of the intangible asset fair values include: the amount and timing of future cash flows, the selection of discount and royalty rates, and the assessment of the asset’s economic life. 

The identifiable intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of NuVasive’s identifiable intangible assets acquired and their amortization period (in years):

Fair value of the 2025 Notes was determined using the publicly traded price.

NuVasive’s results have been included in the Company’s financial statements for the period subsequent to the date of the acquisition on September 1, 2023. Due to the continuing integration of NuVasive’s operations into the Company, it is impractical to determine NuVasive’s net income/loss during the current period, which is included in the Company’s Net Income.

Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Information

The following are the supplemental consolidated financial results of Globus and NuVasive on an unaudited pro forma basis, as if the acquisitions had been consummated as of the beginning of fiscal year 2022.

The unaudited pro forma net income of $187.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 was updated to reflect the finalization of the purchase price allocation adjustments made during the measurement period. The unaudited pro forma net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 was adjusted to exclude $111.4 million of acquisition-related costs incurred in 2023 that under a pro forma basis would be included in the year ended December 31, 2022.
