📊revenue

- International Spine business targeting a return to consistent low double-digit growth (around 10% constant currency), with mid-teens growth seen recently influenced by currency and prior-year supply chain disruptions. Long term, international growth expected in the low to mid-double-digit range (12%-15%), focusing on deeper market penetration rather than expanding into new countries.
- Enabling Technologies business growing, with 21% revenue increase in Q1 2026, but shifting to more flexible offerings (leases/rentals) possibly moderating upfront revenue recognition.
- Trauma and neuromonitoring businesses showing strong growth (over 30%).

- Non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance was raised to $4.70 to $4.80 from $4.40 to $4.50, implying 18.1% to 20.6% growth over 2025.
