In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, references to “K2M,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our,” refer to K2M Group Holdings, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

We are a global medical device company focused on designing, developing and commercializing innovative complex spine and minimally invasive technologies and techniques. Our complex spine products are used by spine surgeons to treat some of the most difficult and challenging spinal pathologies, such as deformity (primarily scoliosis), trauma and tumor. We have applied our product development expertise in innovating complex spine technologies and techniques to the design, development, and commercialization of an expanding number of proprietary minimally invasive surgery, or MIS, products. Our MIS products are designed to allow for less invasive access to the spine and faster patient recovery times as compared to traditional open access surgical approaches for both complex spine and degenerative spine pathologies. We have leveraged these core competencies in the design, development and commercialization of an increasing number of products for patients suffering from degenerative spinal conditions.

Unaudited Interim Results

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Net Loss per Share

Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Loss

Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, which is also the functional currency of our domestic entities, while the functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries are the British Pound, Euro and Swiss Franc. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Net gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign financial statements are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Net foreign currency gains or losses resulting from transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies are included in other expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” (EGC) pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act and elected to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act which permits EGCs to defer compliance with new or revised accounting standards (the EGC extension) until non-issuers are required to comply with such standards. Accordingly, so long as we continue to qualify as an EGC, we will not have to adopt or comply with new or revised accounting standards until non-issuers are required to comply with such standards.
