Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: a) constant currency and adjusted constant currency, b) adjusted revenue, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS") and c) adjusted EBITDA.

Constant currency and adjusted constant currency. The Company's constant currency revenue disclosures estimate the impact of changes in foreign currency rates on the translation of the Company's current period revenue as compared to the applicable comparable period in the prior year. This impact is derived by taking the current local currency revenue and translating it into U.S. dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates used to translate the local currency revenue for the applicable comparable period in the prior year, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current period. It does not include any other effect of changes in foreign currency rates on the Company's results or business. The Company's adjusted constant currency revenue disclosures are calculated in the same manner as above but uses adjusted revenue, described below, and accordingly excludes the impact of the Italian government's payback provision pertaining to prior years.

Adjusted Revenue. The adjustments to the GAAP financial measure reflect the exclusion of impact of the Italian government's payback provision pertaining to prior years. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a reduction in revenue of $7.3 million related to the Italian payback provision pertaining to the years 2015 through 2024, of which $5.8 million pertained to prior years.

Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin. The adjustments to the GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of impact of the Italian government's payback provision pertaining to prior years.

Non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS. The adjustments to the GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of:

• the one-time expense associated with the acquisition of IPR&D in the third quarter of 2023;
• the effect of the amortization of finite lived intangible assets acquired in connection with the Sixense acquisition over their estimated useful lives;
• the excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation arrangements;
• the release of the valuation allowance associated with Federal R&D tax credits and partial release of the valuation allowance associated with California deferred tax assets;
• non-recurring litigation related expenses;
• non-cash long-lived asset impairment related to the impairment of our Immersive Healthcare asset group;
• one-time expenses in connection with the wind down of the Immersive Healthcare business; and
• the Italian government's payback provision pertaining to prior years.

Adjusted EBITDA. The Company's adjusted EBITDA reflects the exclusion from GAAP net income of:

• non-cash operating charges such as stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment charges;
• non-operating items such as the one-time expense associated with the acquisition of IPR&D, interest income, interest expense, and provision for (benefit from) income taxes;
• non-recurring litigation related expenses;
• one-time expenses in connection with the wind down of the Immersive Healthcare business; and
• the Italian government's payback provision pertaining to prior years.

Full reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is set forth in the tables below.

Our management believes the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this press release are useful to investors in assessing the operating performance of our business and provide meaningful comparisons to prior periods and thus a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Specifically, we consider the change in constant currency revenue as a useful metric as it provides an alternative framework for assessing how our underlying business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. We consider adjusted revenue, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin useful metrics to investors as they eliminate the impact of the Italian government's payback provision pertaining to prior years and allow a more direct comparison of our business performance between periods. We consider non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS useful metrics as they provide an alternative framework for assessing how our underlying business performed excluding the one-time expense associated with the acquisition of IPR&D in the third quarter of 2023, the amortization expense of finite lived intangible assets acquired in connection with the Sixense acquisition, the excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation arrangements, the release of the valuation allowance associated with Federal R&D tax credits and partial release of the valuation allowance associated with California deferred tax assets, expenses related to certain litigation matters that we have determined are not a normal or recurring part of our business, including settlement costs and legal fees, non-cash long-lived asset impairment related to the impairment of our Immersive Healthcare asset group, one-time expenses in connection with the wind down of the Immersive Healthcare business, and the Italian government's payback provision pertaining to prior years. Further, we consider adjusted EBITDA a useful metric as it provides an alternative framework for assessing how our underlying business performed excluding the Italian government's payback provision pertaining to prior years, non-cash operating charges such as stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment charges, non-operating items such as the one-time expense associated with the acquisition of IPR&D, interest income, interest expense, and provision for (benefit from) income taxes, non-recurring litigation related expenses, and one-time expenses in connection with the wind down of the Immersive Healthcare business.

The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to GAAP measures. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
