Ladies and Gentlemen:
Set forth below are the responses of Orthofix Medical Inc. (the “Company”) to the Staff’s letter of comment, dated July 17, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”), relating to disclosures in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and will in future filings, beginning with its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024, revise its disclosure to address the Staff’s comment. The Company understands that the requirements as put forth under ASC 280-10-50-30(b) require that the following be disclosed as it pertains to the Company’s segments:
The total of the reportable segments’ measures of profit or loss to the public entity’s consolidated income before income taxes and discontinued operations.
Accordingly, the Company will remove the caption “Consolidated adjusted EBITDA” from the referenced Business Segments Information footnote and will revise the disclosure to present a sum of adjusted EBITDA for the Company’s two reportable segments: (i) Global Spine and (ii) Global Orthopedics.

Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and will in future filings, beginning with its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024, remove the presentations of and references to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in MD&A. To the extent that the Company determines in the future to disclose Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in MD&A, it will provide equal or greater prominence to net income (loss), and begin the related reconciliation with that GAAP measure and end it with Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. The Company will also revise its segment-related disclosures in MD&A to remove presentations of and references to non-GAAP measures, and only include segment reporting metrics that in the Company’s judgment are necessary to an understanding of the Company’s business (such as net sales by reporting segment).
