Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 7, 2018, OrthoPediatrics Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its earnings for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017 and making other disclosures. A copy of the press release (including the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017, and other financial data) was furnished with a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 7, 2018 (the “Initial Form 8-K”). This amendment to the Company’s Initial Form 8-K (this “Amendment”) is being filed solely for the purpose of correcting a mathematical error related to net loss per share in the earnings release. For purposes of the original release, net loss attributable to common stockholders was reported as $(21,043) and $(29,465), respectively, for the three months and fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The correct amounts of net loss attributable to common stockholders should have been $(15,078) and $(23,530), respectively, for the three months and fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The discrepancy related to the accounting for the amount of accrued dividends that were reversed upon the conversion of the Company's Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock in connection with its IPO. Weighted average common shares - basic and diluted was reported for the three months and fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 as 4,831,991 and 4,817,079, respectively. The correct number of weighted average common shares - basic and diluted for the three months and fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 should have been 10,731,478 and 4,017,330, respectively. This error carried over into the calculation of net loss per share attributable to common stockholders - basic and diluted for the three months and fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 which were reported in the original release as $(4.35) and $(6.12), respectively, but should have been $(1.41) and $(5.86), respectively. The mathematical error has been corrected in the corresponding information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 15, 2018. This Amendment does not modify or update any other disclosure contained in or furnished with the Initial Form 8-K and this Amendment should be read in conjunction therewith.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
