Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2025

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and include all majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities or joint ventures for which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. When protective rights, substantive rights or other factors exist, further analysis is performed in order to determine whether or not there is a controlling financial interest. The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of consolidated subsidiaries and the noncontrolling parties’ ownership share is presented as a noncontrolling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Equity Method Investments

Investments

Investments where the Company has a significant influence but not a controlling interest, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments accounted for under the equity method are initially recorded at the amount of the Company’s initial investment and adjusted each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss and dividends paid.

The Company accounts for equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value as cost method investments under the measurement alternative under GAAP to the extent such investments are not subject to consolidation or

the equity method of accounting as described above. Under the measurement alternative, these financial instruments are carried at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

Revenue Recognition

The Company provides a variety of products to its customers with revenue being measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring such products. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when we transfer control of our off-the-shelf products to the customer, which generally occurs when title passes upon shipment. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct. Revenue recognition and billing typically occur simultaneously for contracts recognized at a point in time. Therefore, we do not have material revenues in excess of customer billings or billings to customers in excess of recognized revenues.

The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods or services. The nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise to certain types of variable consideration, including rebates and other discounts. The Company includes estimated amounts of variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable there will not be a significant reversal of revenue. Estimates are based on historical or anticipated performance and represent the Company’s best judgment at the time. Any estimates are evaluated on a quarterly basis until the uncertainty is resolved. Additionally, the Company maintains provisions for estimated contractual allowances for reimbursement amounts from certain third-party payors based on negotiated contracts, historical experience for non-contracted payors, and the impact of new contract terms or modifications of existing arrangements with these customers. These allowances are recorded as a reduction to Net sales in the same period that the sales are recognized.

The period of benefit for the Company’s incremental costs of obtaining a contract generally have less than a one-year duration; therefore, the Company applies the practical expedient available and expenses costs to obtain a contract when incurred.

Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted To Governmental Authorities

Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities

The Company collects various taxes and fees as an agent in connection with the sale of products and remits these amounts to the respective taxing authorities. These taxes and fees have been presented on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are recorded as a component of Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until remitted to the respective taxing authority.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Costs include salaries, wages, consulting and depreciation and maintenance of facilities and equipment utilized in research, development and engineering activities relating to developing new products, as well as enhancing existing products with the latest technology and designs, creating new applications for existing products, lowering manufacturing costs and redesigning existing products to increase efficiency, improve durability, enhance performance and usability. The Company also receives new product and invention ideas from orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare professionals and seeks to obtain rights to ideas it considers promising from a clinical and commercial perspective

through entering into either assignment or licensing agreements. The Company maintains contractual relationships with orthopedic surgeons who assist in developing products and may also provide consulting services in connection with product research and development.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net includes interest income of $0.9 million, $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily associated with interest-bearing deposits of certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company has synthetic debt cross-currency swap agreements since April 2023 to hedge its net investment in its Swiss Franc-denominated subsidiaries against adverse movements in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the Swiss Franc. The Company receives fixed-rate amounts from the counterparties in exchange for the Company making foreign-currency fixed-rate interest payments over the life of the agreements. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company received interest income on its cross-currency swap agreements of $48.0 million, and $32.5 million, and $7.3 million, respectively, which is included within Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 17 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” for further information on the cross-currency swap agreement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all financial instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less.

Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements are excluded from Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no restricted cash balances as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The balance in restricted cash as of December 31, 2023 was related to the acquisition of Precision AI which closed in the fourth quarter of 2023 and was fully released to the seller within one year of the acquisition date upon completion of three milestones. See Note 5 “Acquisitions and Divestitures" for further information. When it is expected to be released within one year, restricted cash is presented as a component of Other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes the Company’s position in Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:


	December 31,
	2025		2024		2023
	(In thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	36,389	$	48,167	$	36,191
Restricted cash	—		—		8,641
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	36,389	$	48,167	$	44,832

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are presented net of an allowance for credit losses in accordance with Topic 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.” The estimate of current expected credit losses on trade receivables considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Estimated credit losses are reviewed periodically by management.

Inventories

Inventories, net include the cost of material, labor and overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined under various methods including average cost and first-in, first-out. The Company periodically reviews its quantities of inventories on hand and compares these amounts to the expected usage of each particular product. The Company records a charge to Cost of sales for any amounts required to reduce the carrying value of inventories to its net realizable value.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment, net is stated at historical cost, which includes the fair values of such assets acquired through acquisitions, and depreciated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Repair and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred unless the repair extends the useful life of the asset. The Company capitalizes surgical implant instruments that are provided free-of-charge to surgeons for use while implanting its surgical products and the related depreciation expense is recorded as a component of Selling, general and administrative expense.

Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the costs in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired through acquisitions by the Company. The Company does not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of Goodwill annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change in the interim that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying amount. The annual impairment test date elected by the Company is the first day of its fourth quarter. Goodwill is considered to be impaired when the carrying value of a reporting unit or asset exceeds its fair value. The Company currently has two reporting units: Prevention & Recovery and Reconstructive.

In the evaluation of Goodwill for impairment, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting entity is less than its carrying value. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not for a reporting unit’s fair value to be greater than its carrying value, a calculation of the fair value is not performed. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not for a reporting unit’s fair value to be less than its carrying value, a calculation of the reporting entity’s fair value is performed and compared to the carrying value of that entity. In certain instances, the Company may elect to forgo the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Goodwill of that reporting unit is impaired and an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value.

When a quantitative impairment test is needed, the Company measures fair value of reporting units based on a present value of future discounted cash flows and a market valuation approach. The discounted cash flow models indicate the fair value of the reporting units based on the present value of the cash flows that the reporting units are expected to generate in the future. Significant estimates in the discounted cash flow models include the weighted average cost of capital, revenue growth rates, long-term rate of growth, profitability of the business, tax rates, and working capital effects. The market valuation approach indicates the fair value of the business based on a comparison against certain market information. Significant estimates in the market approach model include identifying appropriate peer companies, market multiples and assessing earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company first identified an impairment indicator associated with a continued sustained decline in the Company’s publicly quoted share price and market capitalization, relative to the carrying value of our reporting units in the third quarter of 2025. Accordingly, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of Goodwill as of the last day of the third quarter of 2025. The fair values of the reporting units were equally weighted a discounted cash flow approach and market valuation approach. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the application of judgment and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions which can be affected by changes in business climate, economic conditions, the competitive environment and other factors. These fair value estimates were based on assumptions our management believes to be reasonable but which are unpredictable and inherently uncertain.

Based upon the results of the quantitative impairment test, the Company determined the carrying value of each of the Prevention & Recovery and Reconstructive reporting units exceeded their fair values as of October 3, 2025. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $540.8 million in the quarter ended October 3, 2025 ($222.3 million for the P&R reporting unit and $318.6 million for the Reconstructive reporting unit).

Based upon a further continued sustained decline in the Company’s publicly quoted share price and market capitalization, relative to the carrying value of our reporting units, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of Goodwill as of the last day of the fourth quarter of 2025. Based on the results of the quantitative impairment test, the Company determined the carrying value of the Reconstructive and Prevention & Recovery reporting units exceeded their fair values as of December 31, 2025. In order to align each reporting unit’s fair value model with the Company’s overall market capitalization, the Company reduced long-term cash flow projections, reduced market multiples to the low end of acceptable ranges, and increased the weighted

average cost of capital. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $501.0 million ($157.6 million for the Prevention & Recovery reporting unit and $343.4 million for the Reconstructive reporting unit).

A further sustained decline in our share price and market capitalization, future cash flows, end-markets and/or geographic markets could result in additional impairment charges that could materially affect our financial statements in any given year. Actual results could differ from our estimates and projections, which would also affect the assessment of impairment.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a non-cash Goodwill impairment charge of $645.0 million ($315.0 million for the P&R reporting unit and $330.0 million for the Recon reporting unit) in connection with our annual impairment.

As of December 31, 2025, including the charges from the year ended December 31, 2024, the accumulated non-cash goodwill impairment loss is $1.7 billion ($767.9 million for the Prevention and Recovery reporting unit and $924.8 million for the Reconstructive reporting unit). See Note 9 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the table summarizing the activity in Goodwill.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of Goodwill for each of the Reconstructive and Prevention & Recovery reporting units as part of our annual impairment testing on the first day of the fourth quarter, both of which indicated no impairment existed.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Other than Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Intangible assets primarily represent acquired trade names, customer relationships, acquired technology and software license agreements. Intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which approximates the period of benefit. The useful life of intangible asset as of December 31, 2025 range from three to twenty years with the largest asset groups of Acquired Technology, Acquired Customer Lists, and Acquired Trade Names having weighted-average useful life assignments of 14, 12, and 20 years, respectively.

The Company assesses its long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be fully recoverable. To analyze recoverability, the Company projects undiscounted net future cash flows over the remaining lives of such assets. If these projected cash flows are less than the carrying amounts, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value would be recognized, resulting in a write-down of the assets with a corresponding charge to earnings. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amounts or fair value less cost to sell. Management determines fair value using the discounted cash flow method or other accepted valuation techniques.

The Company evaluated its long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles assets for recoverability in conjunction with the Goodwill impairment trigger event, the sustained decrease in the Company’s publicly quoted share price. Before assessing Goodwill for impairment, the Company concluded its long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible were recoverable. The Company did not record any asset impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Derivatives

The Company is subject to foreign currency risk associated with the translation of the net assets of foreign subsidiaries to United States (“U.S.”) dollars on a periodic basis.

Derivative instruments are generally recognized on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in either Other current assets, Other assets, Accrued liabilities or Other liabilities depending upon their respective fair values and maturity dates. For all instruments designated as hedges, including net investment hedges and cash flow hedges, the Company formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and the strategy for using the hedging instrument. The Company assesses whether the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item is highly effective at offsetting changes in the fair value both at inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis. For cash flow hedges and net investment hedges, unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the extent that it is effective at offsetting the change in the fair value of the hedged item and realized gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations consistent with the underlying hedged instrument.

The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. See Note 17 “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” for additional information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments.

Income Taxes

Income taxes for the Company are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Financial Statements and their respective tax basis. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are reported in Other assets and Other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is generally recognized in Income tax expense (benefit) in the period that includes the enactment date. Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) is accounted for as a current tax expense in the year the tax is incurred.

Valuation allowances are recorded if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers various factors, including the expected level of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. Any changes in judgment about the valuation allowance are recorded through Income tax expense (benefit) and are based on changes in facts and circumstances regarding realizability of deferred tax assets.

The Company must presume that an income tax position taken in a tax return will be examined by the relevant tax authority and determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. An income tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Company establishes a liability for unrecognized income tax benefits for income tax positions for which it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination by the respective taxing authority to the extent such tax positions reduce the Company’s income tax liability. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits in Income tax expense (benefit) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Gains and Losses

The Company’s financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currencies of the Company’s operating subsidiaries are generally the local currencies of the countries in which each subsidiary is located. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. The amounts recorded in each year in foreign currency translation are net of income taxes to the extent the underlying equity balances in the entities are not deemed to be permanently reinvested. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated for inclusion in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are recognized in Selling, general and administrative expense or Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for that period.

The Company recognized net foreign currency transaction gains of $2.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 and losses of $3.5 million and $2.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discount

Costs directly related to the placement of debt are capitalized and amortized to Interest expense primarily using the effective interest method over the term of the related obligation. Further, the carrying value of debt is reduced by an original issue discount, which is accreted to Interest expense, net using the effective interest method over the term of the related obligation.

Use of Estimates

The Company makes certain estimates and assumptions in preparing its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Other recently issued accounting pronouncements are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
