44th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference summary
30 Jan, 2026Track record and growth strategy
Achieved consistent execution and strong growth, becoming the third largest U.S. market share holder in spine with a focus on proceduralization and clinical distinction.
Demonstrated sector-leading revenue growth and expanding market share, driven by a deep portfolio of growth catalysts and innovative technologies.
Committed to reaching $1 billion in revenue and $180 million Adjusted EBITDA by 2027, with 2025 results showing $764 million revenue and $91 million Adjusted EBITDA.
Projected 2026 revenue of $890 million, 17% growth, $130 million Adjusted EBITDA, and $20 million free cash flow.
Growth driven by surgeon adoption, aggressive business expansion, and a high-performing sales force.
Innovation and informatics
Significant investments in informatics, including SafeOp, EOS, and Valence, to enhance surgical decision-making and procedural workflow.
EOS provides automated alignment and bone mineral density measures, supporting objective surgical planning and longitudinal data collection.
Valence, a navigation and robotic tool, is launching this year to democratize the lateral approach and maximize surgeon utility.
Integrated procedural ecosystem includes navigation, robotics, informatics, and real-time neurophysiology monitoring.
Informatics and procedural integration are seen as key long-term value drivers, with a focus on data-driven decision-making.
Market dynamics and competition
Disruption from large medtech spin-offs is viewed as a tailwind, providing opportunities to attract talent and reinforce a spine-focused strategy.
Competitive advantage lies in deep investment in neurophysiology, navigation, and procedural integration, creating barriers to entry.
Lateral approach and procedural sophistication differentiate offerings from fast followers.
U.S. spine market remains underpenetrated, with less than 10% share and significant upside in lateral and deformity segments.
Robotics are not seen as a necessity for growth, but Valence will enhance the portfolio and address broader market needs.
