8. NuVasive Chairman and CEO Gregory T. Lucier said the quarter's revenue fell short of expectations due to capital and stocking orders in the Untied States that did not arrive as expected.
9. Additionally, the company's revenue was impacted by the removal of its dilator from Japan's market, resulting in fewer performed XLIF procedures. Mr. Lucier said they have resubmitted the company's dilator for approval with the Japanese Ministry of Health.
10. The company reiterated its full-year 2016 guidance for all estimates except revenue, which the company revised to $952 million. This revenue projection is down from the previous $962 forecast.
"During the quarter, we continued to experience positive trends, including domestic procedural volumes in line with prior quarters and the conversion of surgeons at an increasingly faster pace, signaling stable market trends and competitive dynamics that favor our innovation and spine-only focused strategy," said Mr. Lucier.
