Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Business and basis of presentation
Description of the Business
Orthofix Medical Inc. (the “Company” or "Orthofix") is a leading global spine and orthopedics company with a comprehensive portfolio of biologics, innovative spinal hardware, bone growth therapies, specialized orthopedic solutions, and a leading surgical navigation system. Its products are distributed in more than 60 countries worldwide.
The Company is headquartered in Lewisville, Texas, where it conducts general business, product development, medical education and manufacturing, and has primary offices in Carlsbad, CA, with a focus on spine and biologics product innovation and surgeon education, and Verona, Italy, with an emphasis on product innovation, production, and medical education for orthopedics. The combined company’s global research and development, commercial, and manufacturing footprint also includes facilities and offices in Irvine, CA, Toronto, Canada, Sunnyvale, CA, Maidenhead, UK, Munich, Germany, Paris, France, and São Paulo, Brazil.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, 2024.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition; contractual allowances; allowances for expected credit losses; inventories; valuation of intangible assets; goodwill; fair value measurements, including contingent consideration; litigation and contingent liabilities; tax matters; and share-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
2. Recently adopted accounting standards, recently issued accounting pronouncements
Adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-03 - Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions
In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2022-03, which clarifies the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale and to introduce new disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2024, on a prospective basis. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company's consolidated balance sheet, statements of operations, or cash flows, but did modify the Company's disclosures related to certain investments. Refer to Note 7 for the Company's updated disclosures on investments in equity securities subject to capital sale restrictions.
Adoption of ASU 2023-07 - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which enhances and improves disclosures about operating segment's revenues, measures of profit/loss, and expenses to enable investors to better understand an entity's overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. The amendment requires that an entity disclose (i) significant expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), (ii) other segment items by reportable segment including a description of its composition, (iii) all annual disclosures required by Topic 280 in interim periods, (iv) additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and allocation of resources, and (v) title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2024, on a prospective basis. Refer to Note 11 for the Company's updated business segment disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
| | | | | | |
Topic | | Description of Guidance | | Effective Date | | Status of Company's Evaluation |
Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (ASU 2023-06) | | Adds interim and annual disclosure requirements to a variety of subtopics in the Accounting Standards Codification, including those focusing on accounting changes, earnings per share, debt and repurchase agreements. The guidance will be applied prospectively. The effective date will be the date when the SEC's removal of the related disclosure requirement becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. | | Various | | The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements. |
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09) | | Enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The amendments are to be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. | | January 1, 2025 | | The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements. |
Other recently issued ASUs, excluding those ASUs which have already been disclosed as adopted or described above, were assessed and determined not applicable, or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Mergers and acquisitions
Merger with SeaSpine
On January 5, 2023, the Company and SeaSpine completed an all-stock merger of equals (the "Merger") to create a leading global spine and orthopedics company with highly complementary portfolios of biologics, innovative spinal hardware, bone growth therapies, specialized orthopedic solutions, and a leading surgical navigation system. As a result of the Merger, each share of SeaSpine common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into the right to receive 0.4163 shares of Orthofix common stock.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company finalized its valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

The Company recognized $0.1 million and $6.5 million in direct acquisition-related costs, which exclude integration-related activities, that were expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. These costs are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, primarily within general and administrative expenses. The Company's results of operations included $70.5 million of net sales and a net loss of $14.3 million from SeaSpine for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $60.9 million of net sales and a net loss of $27.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Due to the completion of the Merger on January 5, 2023, all SeaSpine financial results for fiscal year 2023, except for the first four days of January, were included in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Therefore, the Company did not prepare unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, on the basis that the Merger was completed on January 1, 2023.

On January 10, 2024, the Company borrowed $15.0 million under its senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") as part of its Financing Agreement with Blue Torch Finance LLC. On March 22, 2024, the secured delayed draw term loan
facility (the "Delayed Draw Term Loan") of $25.0 million was fully funded and the proceeds were used to repay the $15.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Financing Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum level of liquidity at all times, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (measured on a quarterly basis), and a minimum asset coverage ratio (measured on a monthly basis). As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants.
On March 15, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No.1 to the Financing Agreement with Blue Torch Finance LLC (the "First Amendment"). Under the terms of the First Amendment, the parties agreed to reduce the number of business days to submit a notice of borrowing for the Delayed Draw Term Loan, and redefine certain terms within the asset coverage financial covenant. The maturity date remains November 6, 2027, for each of the Initial Term Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loan, and Revolving Credit Facility.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no borrowings on its available lines of credit in Italy, which provide up to an aggregate amount of €5.5 million ($5.9 million).

Neo Medical Convertible Loan Agreements and Equity Investment
Since October 2020, the Company has held preferred equity securities of Neo Medical SA, a privately held Swiss-based company developing a new generation of products for spinal surgery ("Neo Medical") and a Convertible Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Company loaned Neo Medical CHF 4.6 million, or $5.0 million, at the date of issuance (the “Convertible Loan”).
The preferred equity securities are recorded in other long-term assets and are considered an investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value. As such, the Company measures this investment at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.
The Company's equity investment with Neo Medical is subject to certain sales restrictions, such as right of first refusal, tag-along provisions, and drag-along provisions. Permitted transfers include (i) sales of shares to an affiliate of such shareholder, (ii) transfer of shares as part of a compensation package offered to employees, or (iii) Neo Medical may repurchase shares at a price no greater than that originally paid by the shareholder.
The table below presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Company’s investment in Neo Medical preferred equity securities:
| | | | | | | | |
(Unaudited, U.S. Dollars, in thousands) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Fair value of Neo Medical preferred equity securities at January 1 | | $ | 4,951 | | | $ | 6,084 | |

Unrealized loss recognized in other income (expense), net | | | — | | | | — | |
Fair value of Neo Medical preferred equity securities at March 31 | | $ | 4,951 | | | $ | 6,084 | |
Cumulative unrealized gain (loss) on Neo Medical preferred equity securities | | $ | (720 | ) | | $ | 413 | |
The Convertible Loan is recorded in other long-term assets as an available for sale debt security as of March 31, 2024. In April 2024, the Company and Neo Medical agreed to convert the Convertible Loan into shares of Neo Medical preferred equity securities, with
such conversion occurring on April 19, 2024. As such, the Company estimated the fair value of the Convertible Loan based upon the estimated fair value of equivalent preferred shares as of March 31, 2024. Therefore, as this fair value estimate is based upon a valuation method using observable market inputs, the Company has now classified this investment as a Level 2 financial asset. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Convertible Loans, which was measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs in 2023:
| | | | | | | | |
(Unaudited, U.S. Dollars, in thousands) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |

Other Investments
Other investments represent assets and investments recorded at fair value that are not deemed to be material for disclosure on an individual basis. The fair value of these assets is based upon significant unobservable inputs, such as probability-weighted discounted cash flow models, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. Therefore, the Company has categorized these assets as Level 3 financial assets. As of March 31, 2024, this balance was classified within other current assets.
Lattus Contingent Consideration
In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed a contingent consideration obligation under a purchase agreement between SeaSpine and Lattus Spine LLC ("Lattus") executed in December 2022. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may be required to make installment payments at certain dates based on future net sales of certain products (the "Lateral Products").
The estimated fair value of the Lattus contingent consideration is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation and a discounted cash flow model requiring significant inputs which are not observable in the market. The significant inputs include assumptions related to the timing and probability of certain product launch dates, estimated future sales of the products, revenue risk-adjusted discount rate, revenue volatility, and discount rates matched to the timing of payments. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Lattus contingent consideration measured at estimated fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
| | | | | | | | |

8. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies policies
The Company records accruals for certain outstanding legal proceedings, investigations, or claims when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates developments in legal proceedings, investigations, and claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable on a quarterly basis. When a loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company does not accrue the loss. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of the accrual) is at least a reasonable possibility and material, then the Company discloses a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if such reasonable estimate can be made. If the Company cannot make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss, or range of loss, then that is disclosed. In addition, legal fees and other directly related costs are expensed as incurred.
In addition to the matters described in the paragraphs below, in the normal course of its business, the Company is involved in various lawsuits from time to time and may be subject to certain other contingencies. The Company believes any losses related to these matters are individually and collectively immaterial as to a possible loss and range of loss.
Arbitration claims with former executives
In September 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated the employment of Keith Valentine, John Bostjancic, and Patrick Keran, who had served respectively as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Legal Officer. The Board’s decision followed an investigation conducted by independent outside legal counsel and directed and overseen by the Company’s independent directors. As a result of the investigation, the Board determined that each of these executives engaged in repeated inappropriate and offensive conduct that violated multiple code of conduct requirements and was inconsistent with the Company’s values and culture. The Company notified each of Messrs. Valentine, Bostjancic, and Keran that their respective terminations were being made for “Cause,” as defined in applicable employment-related agreements (including each executive’s respective Change in Control and Severance Agreement, dated June 19, 2023). The Company also notified each of Messrs. Valentine, Bostjancic, and Keran that it did not believe it was required to make any further payments to them, other than payment of salary through September 12, 2023. The Board also requested that Mr. Valentine resign as a director, which he did in October 2023.
In January 2024, the Company received written notices of arbitration claims from counsel to Messrs. Valentine, Bostjancic, and Keran. Each of the arbitration claims asserts that the respective former executive was wrongfully terminated for “Cause” because the former executive’s conduct did not meet the contractually applicable definition of “Cause.” The claims seek relief for, among other things, alleged breach of contract, defamation, false light invasion of privacy, deceit, as well as indemnification and advancement for attorneys’ fees. The three former executives seek severance payments, as well as the value of forfeited equity grants, under applicable change in control and severance agreements and further damages as a result of purported defamatory statements. The Company disagrees with many of the assertions contained in the written notices of arbitration claims and intends to vigorously defend the asserted claims. Due in part to the preliminary nature of this matter, the Company currently cannot reasonably estimate a possible loss, or range of loss, that may arise from the arbitration claims.
Commitments
As a result of the Merger, the Company became party to agreements with certain distributor partners that provide the Company with an option to purchase, and an option for those partners to require the Company to purchase, the distribution business of those partners at specified future dates. At such time, the Company or distributor may (in certain cases, subject to satisfying certain conditions) submit written notice to the other of its intention to exercise its rights and initiate or require the purchase. Upon receipt of the written notice, the Company and the distributor will work in good faith to consummate the purchase. Under these agreements, the purchase price would be paid in shares of the Company's common stock. Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock as of March 31, 2024, assuming the options under all the relevant agreements were exercised, the estimated total number of shares the Company would issue under these agreements was approximately 1.5 million shares for agreements that must be settled in shares of the Company's stock. The Company has received notification from one such distributor, who has notified the Company of its decision to exercise its buyout option. The Company is currently in negotiations with this distributor in regard to the consummation of the potential acquisition.
Italian Medical Device Payback (“IMDP”)
In 2015, the Italian Parliament introduced rules for entities that supply goods and services to the Italian National Healthcare System. A key provision of the law is a ‘payback’ measure, requiring medical device companies in Italy to make payments to the Italian government if medical device expenditures exceed regional maximum ceilings. Companies are required to make payments equal to a percentage of expenditures exceeding maximum regional caps.
In the third quarter of 2022, the Italian Ministry of Health provided guidelines to the Italian regions and provinces on seeking payback of expenditure overruns relating to the years ended December 31, 2015, through December 31, 2018. Since receiving the guidelines, several regions and provinces have requested payment from affected medical device companies, including the Company. The Company has taken legal action to dispute the legality of such measures.
The Company accounts for the estimated cost of the IMDP as sales and marketing expense and periodically reassesses the liability based upon current facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company recorded an expense of $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has accrued $7.7 million related to the IMDP, which it has classified within other long-term liabilities; however, the actual liability could be higher or lower than the amount accrued once all legal proceedings are resolved and upon further clarification of the IMDP by the Italian authorities for more recent fiscal years.

11. Business segment information
The Company's operations are managed through two reporting segments: Global Spine and Global Orthopedics. These reporting segments represent the operating segments for which the Chief Executive Officer, who is also the CODM, reviews financial information and makes resource allocation decisions among businesses. The primary metric used by the CODM in managing the Company is adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”, a non-GAAP financial measure). Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and excludes the impact of share-based compensation, gains and losses related to changes in foreign exchange rates, charges related to the SeaSpine merger and other strategic investments, acquisition-related fair value adjustments, gains and/or losses on investments, litigation and investigation charges, charges related to initial compliance with regulations set forth by the European Union Medical Device Regulation, and succession charges.
Corporate activities are comprised of operating expenses not directly identifiable within the two reporting segments, such as human resources, finance, legal, and information technology functions. The Company neither discretely allocates assets, other than goodwill, to its operating segments nor evaluates the operating segments using discrete asset information.
Global Spine
The Global Spine reporting segment offers two primary product categories: (i) Bone Growth Therapies and (ii) Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies.
The Bone Growth Therapies product category manufactures, distributes, sells, and provides support services for market leading devices used adjunctively in high-risk spinal fusion procedures and to treat both nonunion and acute fractures in the orthopedic space. These Class III medical devices are indicated as an adjunctive, noninvasive treatment to improve fusion success rates in the cervical and lumbar spine as well as a therapeutic treatment for non-spine acute and nonunion fractures. This product category uses distributors and a direct sales channel to sell its devices to hospitals, healthcare providers, and patients, in the U.S.
Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies is comprised of (i) a broad portfolio of spine fixation and motion preservation implant products used in surgical procedures of the spine, (ii) one of the most comprehensive biologics portfolios in both the demineralized bone matrix and cellular allograft market segments, and (iii) image-guided surgical solutions to facilitate degenerative, minimally invasive, and complex surgical procedures. Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies products are sold through a network of distributors and sales representatives to hospitals and healthcare providers on a global basis for Spinal Implants and Enabling Technologies, and primarily within the U.S. for Biologics.
Global Orthopedics
The Global Orthopedics reporting segment offers products and solutions for limb deformity correction and complex limb reconstruction with a focus on use in trauma, adult and pediatric limb reconstruction, and foot and ankle procedures. This reporting segment specializes in the design, development, and marketing of external and internal fixation orthopedic products that are coupled with enabling digital technologies to serve the complete patient treatment pathway. We sell these products through a global network of distributors and sales representatives to hospitals, healthcare organizations, and healthcare providers.

Total | | $ | 8,800 | | | $ | 13,020 | |
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the equity awards of SeaSpine (including stock options and restricted stock units) outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were converted into equity awards denominated in shares of Orthofix common stock. The Company issued options to purchase 1.9 million shares of Orthofix common stock and 0.5 million shares of time-based vesting restricted stock in connection with the conversion of such awards. The estimated fair value of the portion of the SeaSpine equity awards for which the required service period had been completed at the time of the closing of the Merger was treated as purchase consideration. The remaining estimated fair value is recorded as compensation expense over the remainder of the service period associated with the awards.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company issued 0.2 million and 0.3 million shares, respectively, of common stock related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises, and the vesting of restricted stock awards and units.
Inducement plans
During 2024, the Company appointed a new President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief People & Business Operations Officer, and Chief Legal Officer. As an inducement to accept employment with the Company, the individuals were awarded grants of (i) stock options, (ii) time-based restricted stock units, (iii) time-based cliff vesting restricted stock units, and (iv) performance stock units, valued in the aggregate across all award types at approximately $14.9 million.
14. Income taxes
Generally, income tax provisions for interim periods are based on an estimated annual income tax rate, adjusted for discrete tax items, with any changes affecting the estimated annual effective tax rate recorded in the interim period in which the change occurs. Due to the impact of losses not benefited by the Company’s U.S. and Italian operations, the Company determined the estimated annual effective tax rate method would not provide a reliable estimate of the Company’s overall annual effective tax rate. As such, the Company has calculated the tax provision using the actual effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Due to the impact of temporary differences on the U.S. current tax liability without any deferred tax benefit, the actual effective rate may vary in future quarters.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the effective tax rate was (2.4%) and (1.0%), respectively. The primary factors affecting the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, were certain losses not benefited and tax amortization on certain acquired intangibles.
15. Earnings per share (“EPS”)
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, no adjustments were made to net income for purposes of calculating basic and diluted EPS. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in diluted EPS computations.
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
(Unaudited, In thousands) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Weighted average common shares-basic | | | 37,741 | | | | 35,734 | |
Effect of dilutive securities | | | | | | |

Unvested restricted stock units | | | — | | | | — | |
Weighted average common shares-diluted | | | 37,741 | | | | 35,734 | |
There were 6.7 million and 7.2 million weighted average outstanding stock options and restricted stock units not included in the diluted EPS computation for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, because inclusion of these awards was anti-dilutive.

Net sales of $161.3 million, an increase of $12.1 million or 8.1%
•Bone Growth Therapies net sales increased $4.8 million, or 10.0%, largely driven by (i) an increase in gross order volumes resulting from our continued investment in our direct sales channel for both the spine and fracture markets and (ii) continued growth and adoption of our AccelStim, which is used in the healing of fresh and nonunion fractures
•Spinal Implants, Biologics, and Enabling Technologies net sales increased $7.3 million, or 7.2%, primarily due to increased sales growth from new and existing high-volume distribution partners, particularly within Spinal Implants, which saw growth in each of our cervical, interbody, and thoracolumbar franchises
Global Orthopedics

Credit Facilities
On November 6, 2023, we entered into a Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Blue Torch Finance LLC and certain lenders party thereto. The Financing Agreement provides for a $100.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”), a $25.0 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), and a $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”), each of which mature on November 6, 2027. As of March 31, 2024, we had $100.0 million outstanding under the Initial Term Loan and $25.0 million outstanding under the Delayed Draw Term Loan.
The Financing Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain a minimum level of liquidity at all times, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (measured on a quarterly basis), and a minimum asset coverage ratio (measured on a monthly basis). As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all required financial covenants.
On March 15, 2024, we entered into Amendment No.1 to the Financing Agreement with Blue Torch Finance LLC (the "First Amendment"). Under the terms of the First Amendment, the parties agreed to reduce the number of business days to submit a notice of borrowing for the Delayed Draw Term Loan, and redefine certain terms within the asset coverage financial covenant. The maturity date remains November 6, 2027, for each of the Initial Term Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loan, and Revolving Credit Facility.
As of March 31, 2024, we had no borrowings on our available lines of credit in Italy, which provide up to an aggregate amount of €5.5 million ($5.9 million).

Under the terms of a contingent consideration obligation in a purchase agreement assumed in the Merger, we may be required to make installment payments at certain dates based on future net sales of certain products (the "Lateral Products"). The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement as of March 31, 2024, was $9.7 million; however, the actual amount ultimately paid could be higher or lower than the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. As of March 31, 2024, we classified the remaining contingent consideration liability within other long-term liabilities. For additional discussion of this matter, see Note 7 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Legion Innovations, LLC Asset Acquisition
On December 29, 2022, we entered into a technology assignment and royalty agreement with Legion Innovations, LLC, a U.S.-based medical device technology company, whereby we acquired intellectual property rights to certain assets. As consideration, we paid $0.2 million in January 2023, with additional payments contingent upon reaching future commercialization and revenue-based milestones.
IGEA S.p.A Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement
In April 2021, we entered into an Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with IGEA S.p.A (“IGEA”), an Italian manufacturer and distributor of bone and cartilage stimulation systems. As consideration for the License Agreement, we agreed to pay up to $4.0 million, of which $0.5 million was paid in 2021, with certain payments contingent upon achieving an FDA milestone.
In May 2022, we achieved FDA approval pertaining to the acquired technology, triggering a contingent consideration milestone obligation of $3.5 million. Of this amount, $1.5 million was paid in 2022, $1.0 million was paid in May 2023, and $1.0 million was accrued within other current liabilities as of March 31, 2024.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2024, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes in any of our material contractual obligations as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion of operating results is based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The preparation of these statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our critical accounting estimates are described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates during the quarter covered by this report.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for detailed information regarding the status of recently issued or adopted accounting pronouncements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by senior management in its financial and operational decision-making. We believe it is important to provide investors with the same non-GAAP financial measures used to supplement information regarding the performance and underlying trends of our business operations to facilitate comparisons to historical operating results and internally evaluate the effectiveness of our operating strategies. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of our underlying operating performance with other companies in the industry that also supplement their U.S. GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this filing may have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for U.S. GAAP financial measures. Some of the limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude items that reflect an economic cost that can have a material effect on cash flows.
Constant Currency
Constant currency is calculated by using foreign currency rates from the comparable, prior-year period to present net sales at comparable rates. Constant currency can be presented for numerous U.S. GAAP measures, but is most commonly used by management to analyze net sales without the impact of changes in foreign currency rates.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, and amortization and excludes the impact of share-based compensation, gains and losses related to changes in foreign exchange rates, charges related to the SeaSpine merger and other strategic investments, acquisition-related fair value adjustments, interest and gains and losses on investments, litigation and investigation costs, charges related to initial compliance with regulations set forth by the European Union Medical Device Regulation, and succession charges. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary metric used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker in managing the business.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from net cash from operating activities. Management uses free cash flow as an important indicator of how much cash is generated or used by our normal business operations, including capital expenditures. Management uses free cash flow as a measure of progress on its capital efficiency and cash flow initiatives.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to our market risks as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
At the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. As described below, as of December 31, 2023, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which is an integral component of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our remediation efforts with respect to this material weakness are continuing, and we have determined that this material weakness is continuing as of March 31, 2024, as there have been no further control instances as of this date to conclude that the applicable controls have been remediated. As a result, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2024.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide
reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation of reliable financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of the inherent limitations in any internal control, no matter how well designed, misstatements may occur and not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, the evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was made as of a specific date, and continued effectiveness in future periods is subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may decline.
In connection with the preparation and filing of the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”), the Company’s management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the framework set forth in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Based on its evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023, due to a material weakness in the design and operation of certain management review controls pertaining to business combinations and assessing recoverability of goodwill, resulting from insufficient evidence supporting the precision over the determination of certain estimates and insufficient evidence supporting the operating effectiveness of the associated review controls. This material weakness did not result in any misstatements to the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
Notwithstanding the material weakness, management has concluded that the financial statements included elsewhere in the 2023 Annual Report presented fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Remediation of the Material Weakness
Our management has worked, and continues to work, to strengthen our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting in connection with the material weakness described above. Subsequent to the identification of the material weakness, the Company has better aligned its current finance department staff to enhance the review and oversight of the accounting and finance functions. The Company has also added several key positions in its finance department, including a new Chief Financial Officer, a Senior Vice President of Finance and Strategy, and other supporting roles with backgrounds in financial reporting, technical accounting, and financial planning and analysis. The Company continues to implement the remediation efforts described herein. These remediation efforts are being undertaken under the supervision of the Audit and Finance Committee of our Board of Directors.
We are in the process of implementing and continuing to refine the plan for remediation of the ineffective internal control over financial reporting described above. In addition, we have designed and are implementing the specific remediation initiatives described below:
•Evaluating skill set gaps and hiring additional accounting, finance, and/or financial reporting personnel, as needed, with relevant public company accounting and financial reporting experience to develop and implement additional policies, procedures, and controls as it pertains to business combinations, asset acquisitions, and/or other processes heavily dependent on the usage of prospective financial information;
•Providing ongoing training for key personnel responsible for internal control over financial reporting; and
•Enhancing or designing and implementing controls over the completeness and accuracy of information used in financial reporting and forecasted financial results, particularly as it relates to the accounting for business combinations and goodwill impairment assessment.
We believe the remediation steps outlined above have improved and will continue to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to remediating the material weakness and we are making progress in that effort. The actions we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as oversight from the Audit and Finance Committee. When fully implemented and operational, we believe the measures described above will remediate the underlying causes of the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weakness and will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. However, remediation efforts are expected to continue beyond the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Further, we will not be able to fully remediate this material weakness until these steps have been completed and have been operating effectively for a
sufficient period of time. We may also identify additional measures that may be required to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, necessitating further action.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation activities described above, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
