Non-GAAP Financial Measure Although Merit’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), Merit’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure of constant currency revenue referenced in this release may provide investors with useful information regarding the underlying business trends and performance of Merit’s ongoing operations and can be useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations. Merit’s management team uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate Merit’s financial performance generally, to compare operating and financial results to prior periods, to evaluate changes in the results of its operating segments, and to measure and allocate financial resources internally. However, Merit’s management does not consider this non-GAAP measure in isolation or as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Readers should consider the non-GAAP measure used in this release in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure generally excludes some, but not all, items that may affect Merit’s revenue. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgment by management about which items are excluded. The non-GAAP financial measure used in this release may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies. Merit urges readers to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure included herein, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Merit’s business or results of operations. Constant Currency Revenue Merit’s constant currency revenue is prepared by converting the current-period preliminary unaudited revenue of subsidiaries whose functional currency is a currency other than the U.S. dollar at the applicable foreign exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior-year period and adjusting for the effects of hedging transactions on preliminary unaudited revenue, which are recorded in the U.S. dollar. The preliminary constant currency revenue adjustment of $7.9 million to preliminary unaudited revenue for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024 was calculated using the applicable average foreign exchange rates for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023. Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation The following table sets forth supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliation of non-GAAP preliminary constant currency revenue to Merit’s corresponding financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024.

All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to Merit or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Actual results will likely differ, and may differ materially, from anticipated results. Financial estimates are subject to change and are not intended to be relied upon as predictions of future operating results. Those estimates and all other forward-looking statements included in this release are made only as of the date of this release, and except as otherwise required by applicable law, Merit assumes no obligation to update or disclose revisions to estimates and all other forward-looking statements. Merit does not, as a matter of course, publicly disclose preliminary unaudited revenue, whether on an annual or quarterly basis, due to the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. Merit’s announcement of preliminary unaudited revenue information in this release should not be regarded as an indication that Merit considered, or now considers, preliminary unaudited revenue information to be material or to be a reliable prediction of actual future results, and the preliminary unaudited revenue information set forth in this release should not be relied upon as such. Readers should not expect Merit to make similar disclosures of preliminary unaudited revenue information in the future. Merit’s audited consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2024 are not yet available. As a result, the financial information described in this release is preliminary and unaudited, and represents management’s estimate as of the date hereof, and is subject to completion of Merit’s financial closing procedures for the quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. These preliminary unaudited revenue results may materially differ from the actual results that will be reflected in Merit’s audited consolidated financial statements when completed and publicly disclosed. Merit’s independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an audit or review of, and does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to, Merit’s preliminary unaudited revenue results. Accordingly, the preliminary unaudited revenue information described in this release should not be relied on as necessarily predictive of Merit’s actual results. The preliminary unaudited financial information presented in this release does not present all necessary information for a complete understanding of Merit’s financial condition as of December 31, 2024, or Merit’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. This preliminary unaudited financial data should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 prepared in accordance with GAAP.
