Dan Scavilla, President and CEO of Globus Medical, expressed his satisfaction with the company's performance, stating, "2023 was a monumental year for Globus Medical. We completed our merger with NuVasive to create the most innovative technology company in the spine market. Our integration is proceeding according to plan and we are pleased with our sales retention thus far. To cap off this eventful year, our revenue for the full year and fourth quarter of 2023 were both record-setting, breaking previous highs in both U.S. spine and enabling technologies." He added, "2024 is expected to be a very exciting year for product launches, including the introduction of new enabling technologies. While our core competencies and expertise have, and will remain focused on the spine market, we are sowing the seeds today to position our company for future growth drivers in the broader musculoskeletal market. Globus Medical remains well positioned to advance our vision of becoming the preeminent musculoskeletal technology company to promote healing in patients."

Keith Pfeil, CFO of Globus Medical, also commented on the company's performance, stating, "We are pleased with our strong finish in Q4 and our overall full year performance. Excluding the impacts of the September 1, 2023 merger with NuVasive, Inc., legacy Globus fourth quarter revenue was approximately $302.9 million, an increase of 10.4 percent over the prior year fourth quarter. Full year 2023 legacy Globus revenue was approximately $1.152 billion or 12.7 percent higher over the prior year."
