On a Non-GAAP basis, the Company reported net income of $12.4 million, or $0.30 per share, for the second quarter 2011.

Alex Lukianov, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our financial performance in the second quarter of 2011 was excellent and suggests that we are executing well against our strategy to take market share. We generated industry leading revenue growth of over 11% and made progress against our profitability goals in spite of challenging spine market growth dynamics. We are exceptionally pleased with the outcome of our recent convertible notes offering, which bolsters our balance sheet and significantly enhances our financial flexibility. As our focus shifts toward the achievement of our next milestone, the evolution of NuVasive into a $1 billion revenue company, we are laser focused on maintaining the startup mentality that is the source of NuVasive's success as a prolific new product innovator. With Speed of Innovation™ as our competitive edge, we expect to continue to sustain industry leading growth."
Revenue of $530 million to $540 million; unchanged from previous guidance
GAAP EPS of $0.33 to $0.36; down from previous guidance of $0.52 to $0.55 to reflect impact of new convertible notes placement

Management uses certain Non-GAAP financial measures such as Non-GAAP earnings per share, which exclude non-cash stock-based compensation, certain intellectual property litigation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition related items, and non-cash interest expense on convertible notes. Management does not consider these costs in evaluating the continuing operations of the Company. Therefore, management calculates the Non-GAAP financial measures provided in this earnings release excluding these costs and uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to enable it to analyze further, and more consistently, the period-to-period financial performance of its core business operations. Management believes that providing investors with these Non-GAAP measures gives them additional important information to enable them to assess, in the same way management assesses, the Company's current and future continuing operations. These Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP, and may be different from Non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Set forth below are reconciliations of the Non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure.

NuVasive is a medical device company focused on developing minimally disruptive surgical products and procedures for the spine. The Company is the 5th largest player in the $7.7 billion global spine market.
NuVasive's principal product offering is based on its Maximum Access Surgery, or MAS® platform. The MAS platform combines four categories of products that collectively minimize soft tissue disruption during spine surgery with maximum visualization and safe, easy reproducibility for the surgeon: a proprietary software-driven nerve avoidance system; MaXcess®, a unique split-blade retractor system; a wide variety of specialized implants; and several biologic fusion enhancers. MAS significantly reduces surgery time and returns patients to activities of daily living much faster than conventional approaches. Having redefined spine surgery with the MAS platform's lateral approach, known as eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion, or XLIF®, NuVasive has built an entire spine franchise. With over 65 products today spanning lumbar, thoracic and cervical applications, the Company will continue to expand and evolve its offering predicated on its R&D focus and dedication to outstanding service levels supported by a culture of Absolute Responsiveness®.
