We are an engineering-driven company with a history of rapidly developing and commercializing advanced products and procedures to assist surgeons in effectively treating their patients and to address new treatment challenges.options. With numerous products launched since the founding of the Company, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of innovative and differentiated technologies that treataddress a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.pathologies, anatomies, and surgical approaches. We separate our products and services into two major categories: Musculoskeletal Solutions and Enabling Technologies.
On September 1, 2023, pursuant to that certain merger agreement (the “NuVasive Merger Agreement”) with NuVasive, Inc. (“NuVasive”) and Zebra Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,Company (“Zebra Merger Sub”), Zebra Merger Sub merged with and into NuVasive, with NuVasive surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “NuVasive Merger”). Under the NuVasive Merger Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of NuVasive issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the NuVasive Merger (other than certain excluded shares as described in the NuVasive Merger Agreement) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.75 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Commoncommon stock of Globus, $0.001 par value per share, and the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.
Nevro Merger
On April 3, 2025, pursuant to the terms of that certain merger agreement (the “Nevro Merger Agreement”) with Nevro Corp. (“Nevro”) and Palmer Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Palmer Merger Sub”), Palmer Merger Sub merged with and into Nevro (the “Nevro Merger” and, together with the NuVasive Merger, the “NuVasive and Nevro Mergers”), with Nevro surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon the consummation of the Nevro Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Nevro, $0.001 par value per share, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $5.85 per share of common stock of Nevro, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes.
Our Musculoskeletal Solutions consist primarily of implantable devices, biologics, accessories, unique surgical instruments, spinal cord stimulation treatment therapy, and neuromonitoring services, used in an expansive range of spinal, orthopedic and neurosurgical procedures. Musculoskeletal disorders are a leading driver of healthcare costs worldwide. Disorders range in severity from mild pain and loss of feeling to extreme pain and paralysis. These disorders are primarily caused by degenerative and congenital conditions, deformity, tumors and traumatic injuries. Treatment alternatives for musculoskeletal disorders range from non-operative conservative therapies to surgical interventions depending on the pathology. Conservative therapies include bed rest, medication, casting, bracing, and physical therapy. When conservative therapies are not indicated, or fail to provide adequate quality of life improvements, surgical interventions may be used. Surgical treatments for musculoskeletal disorders can be instrumented, which include the use of implants, or non-instrumented, which forego the use of hardware but may include biologics. Our spinal cord stimulation treatment therapy uses neuromodulation technology delivered by an implantable device that delivers electrical impulses to treat chronic pain. Our neuromonitoring services use proprietary software-driven nerve detection and avoidance technology and include intraoperative neuromonitoring (“IONM”) services to aid spine surgery.
Our Enabling Technologies are comprised of imaging, navigation and robotics (“INR”) solutions for assisted surgery which are advanced computer-assisted intelligent systems designed to enhance a surgeon’s capabilities, and ultimately improve patient care and reduce radiation exposure for all involved,involved by streamlining surgical procedures to be safer, less invasive, and more accurate. The market for our Enabling Technologies in spinespine, cranial and orthopedic surgery is still in its infancy stage and consists primarily of imaging, navigation and roboticINR systems. In spine, a majority of these technologies are limited to surgical planning and assistance in implant placement for increased accuracy and time savings with less intraoperative radiation exposure to the patient and surgical staff. As our Enabling Technologies become more fully integrated with our Musculoskeletal Solutions, a continued rise in adoption is expected. Furthermore, we believe as new technologies such as augmented reality and artificial intelligence are introduced, Enabling Technologies have the potential to transform the way surgery is performed and most importantly, continue to improve patient outcomes.
To date, the primary market for our products and services has been within the United States (“U.S.”),U.S., where we sell our products and services through a combination of direct sales representatives employed by us and distributor sales representatives employed by exclusive independent distributors, who distribute our products for a commission that is generally based on a percentage of sales. We believe there is significant opportunity to strengthen our position in the U.S. market by increasing the size of our U.S. sales force and we intend to add additional direct and distributor sales representatives in the future.
Net Sales
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits and other related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel employed in sales, marketing, finance, legal, compliance, administrative, information technology, medical education and training, quality and human resource departments. Additionally, provision for litigation is included within selling, general and administrative expenses and is recorded when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated and in the case of a favorable settlement, income when realized. Our selling, general and administrative expenses also include commissions, generally based on a percentage of sales, to direct sales representatives and distributors. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute terms with the continued expansion of our sales force and commercialization of our current and pipeline products. We plan to hire more personnel to support the growth of our business.
Provision for Litigation
We record a provision for litigation settlements when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated and in the case of a favorable settlement, income when realized.
Acquisition-related costs represent the change in fair value of business acquisition-related contingent consideration and specific costs related to the consummation of the acquisition processprocess, such as banker fees, legal fees and other acquisition-related professional fees.
Restructuring Costs
Restructuring costs represent costs associated with the Company’s plans to optimize the organizational structure, merge synergies and leverage the strength of both commercial organizations.
We are taxed at the rates applicable within each jurisdiction. The composite income tax rate, tax provisions, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities will vary according to the jurisdiction in which profits arise. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by management and the respective governmental taxing authorities, and require us to exercise judgment in determining our income tax provision, our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Certain of our more critical accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our judgments, including but not limited to those related to inventories, recoverability of long-lived assets and the fair value of our Class A common stock. We use historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for our judgments and making these estimates. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Any changes in those estimates will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements as they occur. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in “Part II; Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data; Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements; Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” below in this Annual Report, we believe that the following accounting policies and estimates are most critical to a full understanding and evaluation of our reported financial results. The critical accounting policies addressed below reflect our most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We have reviewed these critical accounting policies with the audit committee of our Board.Board of Directors.
Excess and Obsolete Inventory. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The majority of our inventory is finished goodsgoods, and we utilize both in-house manufacturing and third-party suppliers to produce our products. We periodically evaluate the carrying value of our inventories in relation to our estimated forecast of product demand, which takes into consideration the estimated life cycle of product releases. When quantities on hand exceed estimated sales forecasts, we record a write-down for such excess inventories. Once inventory has been written down, it creates a new cost basis for inventory that is not subsequently written up.
The need to maintain substantial levels of inventory increases the risk of carrying excess inventory. Many of our Musculoskeletal Solutions products come in sets whichthat feature components in a variety of sizes so that the implant or device may be customized to the patient’s needs. In order to market our Musculoskeletal Solutions products effectively, we must often maintain and provide surgeons and hospitals with surgical sets, back-up products and products of different sizes. For each surgery, fewer than all of the components of the set are used, and therefore certain portions of the set may be considered excess inventory since they are not likely to be used. One of our primary business goals is to focus on continual product innovation. Though we believe this provides us with a competitive advantage, it also increases the risk that our products will become excess or obsolete inventory prior to sale or prior to the end of their anticipated useful lives. When we introduce new products or next-generation products, we may be required to take charges for excess and obsolete inventory that have a significant impact on the value of our inventory or on our operating results.
Level 2—observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; and Level 3—unobservable inputs infor which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to use significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.
Contingent consideration represents contingent milestone, performance or revenue-sharing payment obligations related to acquisitions and is measured at fair value, based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of contingent consideration uses assumptions that we believe would be made by a market participant. We assess these assumptions on an ongoing basis as additional data impacting the assumptions is obtained. The fair value of contingent consideration is recorded in business acquisition liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recognized in acquisition-related costs in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The fair value of contingent restricted stock unit grants (“RSUs”) grants is recorded as additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet on the day of the grant due to the remote likelihood of forfeiture.
The purchase priceprices of business acquisitions isare primarily allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the applicable acquisition date, with the excess recorded as goodwill. WeIf the estimated fair values of the liabilities assumed on the acquisition date exceed the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, the excess will be recorded to bargain purchase gain.We utilize Level 3 inputs in the determination of the initial fair value.
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 impaired.recoverable. We perform our goodwill impairment analysis at the reporting unit level. We perform our annual impairment analysis by either comparing a reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying amount or doing a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit’s fair value from the last quantitative assessment to determine if there is potential impairment. We may do 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. We perform our annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each year.
Intangible assets consist of purchased developed technology, customer relationships, in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), developedtrade technology, supplier network, patents, customer relationships, re-acquired rights,names and non-compete agreements.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 one to twenty-one years. Intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or 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 twelve monthsyear ended December 31, 2024,2025, there were no impairments in goodwill, finite-lived intangible assets, or IPR&D.
We estimate the fair value of stock options utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Inputs to the Black-Scholes model include our stock price, expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Class A common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected term of the Company’s stock options offering period which is derived from historical experience. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates of U.S. Treasury securities appropriate for the expected terms of the stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on the history and expectation of no dividend payouts. The fair value of restricted stock unitsRSUs is estimated on the day of grant based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock.
We assumed equity-classified awards for certain NuVasive RSUs, and performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), as part of the NuVasive Merger. These RSUs and PRSUs are measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award. The fair value of equity instruments that are expected to vest is recognized and amortized over the requisite service period. The Company has granted awards with up to five yearfive-year graded or cliff vesting terms (in each case, with service through the date of vesting being required). No exercise price or other monetary payment is required for receipt of the shares issued in settlement of the respective award; instead, consideration is furnished in the form of the participant’s service to the Company.
Net Sales
U.S.In the U.S., net sales increased by $720.3$367.5 million, or 56.3%,18.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 and were significantly driven by the NuVasive Merger.2025. From a product standpoint, domesticthe musculoskeletalincrease solutionswas sales increased by $685.8 million, mainlyprimarily driven by Nevro sales increasesof $254.2 million, increased Musculoskeletal Solutions sales of $125.7 million. Further, there was a decrease in spinedomestic productsEnabling byTechnology $564.6 million, and neuromonitoring solution product and servicessales of $73.7 million. Domestic enabling technology sales increased by $36.2$17.3 million compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by higherlower unit placement.
International net sales increased by $230.6$52.0 million, or 79.9%10.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 and were significantly driven by the NuVasive Merger.2025. From a product standpoint, the increase was mainly due to musculoskeletal solutions sales increases of $231.3 million, primarily due to spine products. Regionally, the increase was driven by Nevro sales growthof $39.4 million. From a geographic standpoint, sales in the Europe and Middle East region increased by $116.9$49.9 million, and sales in the Asia Pacific region increased by $4.6 million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in sales in the Latin America region of $2.4 million. Enabling Technology sales increased by $26.8$4.3 million andcompared to the Asiasame Pacificperiod regionin the prior year, primarily driven by $87.2increased million.unit placement.
The $77.7 million, or 7.5%, decrease in cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by the NuVasive amortization of inventory fair value step-up of $215.4 million included within the December 31, 2024 balance as compared to the Nevro amortization of inventory fair value step-up of $19.3 million included within the year ended December 31, 2025. This was partially offset by an increase due to the cost of sales from Nevro products of $91.2 million, and an increase in depreciation of $18.3 million.
The $487.3 million or 88.9% increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by increases to inventory product costs of $221.0 million from increased volume, significantly due to the NuVasive Merger. Additionally, there was increased amortization of inventory fair value step-up of $143.8 million, due to a full year of post-acquisition amortization occurring in the current period as compared to four months in the prior period. Further, increases in costs of sales were also impacted by depreciation of $29.2 million and increased changes in excess and obsolete inventory reserves by $12.4 million.
The $16.5 million, or 10.1%, decrease in research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by a decrease of $21.9 million in employee-related expenses, excluding Nevro employee-related expenses, and a decrease of $12.6 million in acquired intellectual property research and development. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $15.2 million for Nevro research and development expenses.
The $39.7 million or 32.0% increase in research and development expenses shows our continued investment in product development. This increase was primarily driven by increased personnel-related expenses of $24.0 million due to increased headcount and $12.6 of IPR&D expense recorded in the current period from an acquisition.
The increase of $197.1 million, or 20.1%, in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by an increase of $160.2 million for Nevro expenses. Additionally, there was an increase of $37.4 million in provision for litigation driven by the accrual of $43.1 million in the third quarter of the year ended December 31, 2025 related to the Pimenta Litigation (as defined in Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”) offset by $5.7 million of various net settlements received.
The increase of $337.6 million or 52.5% in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by increases to personnel-related expenses of $251.1 million due to increased headcount primarily from the NuVasive Merger, as well as increases to professional fees of $23.8 million, consulting and outside service expenses of $13.6 million, and rent expenses of $14.3 million.

Restructuring Costs
The decrease in restructuring costs of $8.7 million compared to the same period of the prior year was primarily due to lower employee termination benefit expenses from the 2024 Synergy Plan and the 2025 Strategic Integration Plan (each as defined in Note 16, Restructuring And Other Costs in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”) during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the expenses from the 2024 Synergy Plan for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Bargain Purchase Gain
The increase of $117.7 million was due to the bargain purchase gain related to the Nevro Merger as of December 31, 2025.
The increase of $52.8 million, or 116.7%, in other income/(expense), was primarily due to a $3.0 million of foreign currency loss in the current period compared to a $43.2 million loss in the prior period. Additionally, there was a $19.5 million decrease in interest expense due to a shorter outstanding period of the 2025 Notes (as defined in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk”) in the current period compared to the prior period. Further, there was an increase of $2.4 million from gain on cost method investments. This was partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $8.2 million due to a lower average balance across the Company’s marketable securities, cash and cash equivalents in the current period as compared to the prior period.
The decrease of $77.5 million in other income/(expense), was primarily due to $43.3 million of foreign currency loss and increases in interest expense of $29.4 million from amortization of the fair value adjustment on the 2025 Notes from acquisition accounting and other contractual interest incurred. Additionally, interest income decreased by $8.2 million which was driven by a lower average marketable securities portfolio size and lower market-related yields in the current period.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the release of valuation allowances on certain deferred tax assets of $46.3 million and the impact of the non-taxable bargain purchase gain of $117.7 million in the second quarter of the year ended December 31, 2025, with no comparable event in the prior period.
The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to windfall benefits, reserve releases, and internal reorganization, as a percentage of pretax earnings.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations: Results of Operations; Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2022.” on our Form 10-K filed on February 20, 2024.
Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow from operating activitiesactivities, as well as our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, which we believe will provide sufficient funding for us to meet our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. Our principal liquidity requirements are to fund working capital, research and development, including clinical trials, capital expenditures primarily related to investment in surgical sets required to maintain and expand our business, contingent consideration achievement obligations, potential future business or intellectual property acquisitions, and to service our 2025 Notes.acquisitions. We expect to continue to make investments in surgical sets as we launch new products, increase the size of our U.S. sales force, and expand into international markets. Our Senior Convertible Notes, with a principal balance of $450 million, are due March 2025. We anticipate being able to support this need through existing or new sources of liquidity. Future litigation or requirements to escrow funds could also materially impact our liquidity and our ability to invest in and operate our business on an ongoing basis. We may, require additional liquidity as we continue to execute our business strategy. To the extent that we require new sources of liquidity, we may consider incurring debt, including borrowing against our existing credit facility, convertible debt instruments, and/or raising additional funds through an equity offering. The sale of additional equity may result in dilution to our stockholders. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure such additional funding on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
In September 2023, we entered into an unsecured credit agreement with U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent, Citizens Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, Royal Bank of Canada, as documentation agent, U.S. Bank National Association and Citizens Bank, N.A., as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners, and the other lenders referred to therein (the “September 2023 Credit Agreement”), that provides a revolving credit facility permitting borrowings up to $400.0 million and has a termination date of September 27, 2028. We may request an increase in the revolving commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed (i) $200 million or (ii) an unlimited amount, so long as the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the September 2023 Credit Agreement) is at least 0.25 to 1.00 less than the applicable Leverage Ratio then required under the September 2023 Credit Agreement, an unlimited amount.Agreement. Revolving Loansloans under the September 2023 Credit Agreement bear interest at either a base rate or the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the September 2023 Credit Agreement) plus, in each case, an applicable margin, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the September 2023 Credit Agreement. The Applicable Margin ranges from 0.125% to 0.625% for the Base Rate (as defined in the September 2023 Credit Agreement) and 1.125% to 1.625% for the Term SOFR Rate. We may also request Swingline Loans (as defined in the September 2023 Credit Agreement) at either the Base Rate or the Daily Term SOFR Rate.Rate (each as defined in the September 2023 Credit Agreement).

The higher net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily the result of higher net income of $434.9 million, favorable changes in deferred income taxes of $144.5 million and favorable changes in accounts receivable of $25.9 million. This increase was partially offset by non-cash expense add backs of $358.7 million and a decrease in income taxes payable of $37.5 million. The non-cash expense was primarily a result of a decrease in amortization of inventory fair value step-up of $196.0 million, the bargain purchase gain of $117.7 million, and a $37.8 million increase in net gain from foreign currency adjustments.
The higher net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily the result of higher net income after adjusting out non-cash add-backs and non-cash expenses, primarily due to the NuVasive Merger. These include increased amortization of purchase accounting related fair value step-up of inventory of $143.7 million, increased depreciation and amortization of $109.3 million, a favorable change in inventory of $40.5 million, and increased amortization of the fair value step-up with respect to our 2025 Notes of $18.5 million, partially offset by unfavorable changes in deferred income taxes of $80.7 million and in accounts receivable of $28.1 million.
The higher cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to an increased outflow of $234.9 million in acquisition of businesses and an increase in purchases of property and equipment of $49.3 million, partially offset by increased sales of marketable securities of $103.8 million.
The higher cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was due primarily to decreases in marketable securities net inflows of $720.3 million as we manage our liquidity, as well as increased purchases of property and equipment of $37.2 million primarily driven by increased production resulting from the NuVasive Merger. These were partially offset by decreased outflows for the acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired of $278.4 million, with individually immaterial acquisitions occurring in the current period as compared to the prior period that was primarily driven by the NuVasive Merger.
The lower net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 20242025 was primarily the result of decreasedthe repayment of the 2025 Notes for $450.0 million and increased repurchases of Class A Commoncommon stock of $139.8$214.7 million, and higher proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $98.0 million partially offset by increaseddecreased payments of business acquisition-related liabilities of $37.6$30.0 million.

Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow from operating activities, as well as our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, which we believe will provide sufficient funding for us to meet our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. Our principal liquidity requirements are to fund working capital, research and development, including clinical trials, capital expenditures primarily related to investment in surgical sets required to maintain and expand our business, contingent consideration achievement obligations, potential future business or intellectual property acquisitions. We expect to continue to make investments in surgical sets as we launch new products, increase the size of our U.S. sales force, and expand into international markets. Future litigation or requirements to escrow funds could also materially impact our liquidity and our ability to invest in and operate our business on an ongoing basis. We may,may require additional liquidity as we continue to execute our business strategy. To the extent that we require new sources of liquidity, we may consider incurring debt, including borrowing against our existing credit facility, convertible debt instruments, and/or raising additional funds through an equity offering. The sale of additional equity may result in dilution to our stockholders. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure such additional funding on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
In September 2023, we entered into an unsecured credit agreement with U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent, Citizens Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, Royal Bank of Canada, as documentation agent, U.S. Bank National Association and Citizens Bank, N.A., as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners, and the other lenders referred to therein (the “September 2023 Credit Agreement”), that provides a revolving credit facility permitting borrowings up to $400.0 million and has a termination date of September 27, 2028. We may request an increase in the revolving commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed (i) $200 million or (ii) an unlimited amount, so long as the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the September 2023 Credit Agreement) is at least 0.25 to 1.00 less than the applicable Leverage Ratio then required under the September 2023 Credit Agreement. Revolving loans under the September 2023 Credit Agreement bear interest at either a base rate or the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the September 2023 Credit Agreement) plus, in each case, an applicable margin, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the September 2023 Credit Agreement. The Applicable Margin ranges from 0.125% to 0.625% for the Base Rate and 1.125% to 1.625% for the Term SOFR Rate (each as defined in the September 2023 Credit Agreement). We may also request Swingline Loans at either the Base Rate or the Daily Term SOFR Rate (each as defined in the September 2023 Credit Agreement). The September 2023 Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The September 2023 Credit Agreement contains financial and other customary covenants, including a funded net indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA ratio. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had no outstanding borrowings under the September 2023 Credit Agreement and we were in compliance with all covenants.
The higher net cash provided by operating activities for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 20262026, was primarily the result of a higher netincome incomebefore taxes of $48.8$55.1 million, favorable changes in deferred income taxes of $7.5 million, fair valuepaid of business acquisition liabilities of $6.2$62.6 million and accountsnon-cash payableadjustments of $6.0$128.5 million. This was primarily due to the bargain purchase gain recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was partially offset by unfavorable changes in accounts receivable of $36.0$47.6 million and inventory of $9.1$32.8 million.
The higher net cash used in investing activities for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, was primarily due to an increase in purchases of marketable securities of $144.6$252.3 million and a decrease in sales and maturities of marketable securities of $114.6$113.8 million and $51.4$39.0 million, respectively. This was partially offset by acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired and purchases of intangible and other assets of $251.1 million.
The higherlower net cash providedused byin financing activities for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, was primarily due to the absence of senior convertible note repayments in 2026, as 2025 reflected the final payment of the 2025 Notes (as defined in Note 11. Debt). Additionally, noa decrease in repurchases of the Company's Class A Common Stock in(“Class 2026,A comparedCommon”) toof repurchases$79.4 in 2025,million, and an increase of $14.7$21.0 million in net proceeds from the exercise of stock options also contributed to the increasedecrease in cash providedused byin financing activities during the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
In connection with the Nevro Merger, the Company acquired additional obligations and commitments, including, operating lease obligations. Refer to “Part I; Item 1. Financial Statements; Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited); Note 16. Leases” above for further information.
