Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Business, basis of presentation, and CARES Act
Description of the Business
Orthofix Medical Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a global medical device company with a spine and orthopedics focus. The Company’s mission is to deliver innovative, quality-driven solutions while partnering with health care professionals to improve patient mobility. Headquartered in Lewisville, Texas, Orthofix’s spine and orthopedic products are distributed in more than 60 countries via the Company's sales representatives and distributors.
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, 2020. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, 2021.
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.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”)
The global Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic has significantly affected the Company’s hospital and physician customers, patients, communities, employees, and business operations. The pandemic has led to the cancellation or deferral of elective surgeries and procedures within certain hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and other medical facilities; restrictions on travel; the implementation of physical distancing measures; and the temporary or permanent closure of certain businesses.
In March 2020, the CARES Act entered into federal law, which was aimed at providing emergency assistance and health care for individuals, families, and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and to provide general support to the U.S. economy. The CARES Act, among other things, included provisions relating to the deferment of employer social security payments and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Company recorded a benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 that was reversed in the period ending June 30, 2020. The CARES Act had 0 impact to the Company’s income tax benefit (expense) reported within the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The CARES Act provided financial relief to the Company through other various programs, which are each described in further detail below.
In April 2020, the Company received $13.9 million in funds from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) Accelerated and Advance Payment Program. For discussion of the Company’s accounting for these funds, see Note 10.
In addition, as part of the CARES Act, the Company was permitted to defer all employer social security payroll tax payments through December 31, 2020, such that 50% of the payroll taxes would be deferred until December 31, 2021, with the remaining 50% deferred until December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had deferred $0.6 million in social security payroll tax payments under this program. All of these deferred tax payments were then repaid in January 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has 0 deferred balance associated with this program.
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”)
On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act entered into federal law. The Consolidated Appropriations Act did not have a material impact to the Company’s income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the “American Rescue Plan”)
On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan entered into federal law. The American Rescue Plan, among other things, included provisions related to the deduction of executive compensation beginning in 2027. The American Rescue Plan had no impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
2. Recently adopted accounting standards and recently issued accounting pronouncements
Adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Simplifying the accounting for income taxes
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, which reduces the complexity of accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Additionally, the ASU simplifies U.S. GAAP by amending the requirements related to the accounting for "hybrid" tax regimes and also adding the requirement to evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination and when it should be considered a separate transaction. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2021, with certain provisions applied retrospectively and other provisions applied prospectively. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, statements of operations, or cash flows.
3. Acquisitions
On February 2, 2021, the Company entered into a technology assignment and royalty agreement with a medical device technology company partially owned and controlled by the wife of President and Chief Executive Officer, Jon Serbousek, whereby the Company acquired the intellectual property rights to certain assets for consideration of up to $10.0 million. Consideration was comprised of $1.0 million due at signing and $9.0 million in contingent consideration, dependent upon multiple milestones, such as receipt of 510(k) clearance and the attainment of certain net sales targets. The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition. As the transaction is classified as an asset acquisition, the value of the consideration associated with the contingent milestones will be recognized at the time that applicable contingencies are resolved and consideration is paid or becomes payable. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:
(U.S. Dollars, in thousands) | | Fair Value | |
Fair Value of Consideration Transferred | | | | |
Cash paid | | $ | 1,000 | |
Total fair value of consideration transferred | | $ | 1,000 | |
| | | | |
Fair value of assets acquired | | | | |
In-process research and development costs, recognized within Acquisition-related amortization and remeasurement | | $ | 1,000 | |
Total fair value of assets acquired | | $ | 1,000 | |
In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a royalty of 2% to 4% on net sales, commencing upon commercialization of the acquired assets.
The transaction was approved by the Company’s Audit and Finance Committee, with the Audit and Finance Committee directly supervising the negotiations of the transaction. Mr. Serbousek was excluded from such discussions and did not participate in the negotiation or evaluation of the transaction. Mr. Serbousek also continues to be excluded from the oversight of the Company’s development and commercialization activities in relation to the acquired technology and all other matters relating to the relationship between the Company and the counterparty.

Neo Medical Equity Investment and Convertible Loan Agreement
On October 1, 2020, the Company purchased preferred shares of Neo Medical SA, a privately held Swiss-based Medtech company (“Neo Medical”), for consideration of $5.0 million and entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement pursuant to which Orthofix loaned Neo Medical CHF 4.6 million (the “Convertible Loan”).
The 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. As of September 30, 2021, the carrying value of this investment remained at $5.0 million.
The Convertible Loan matures on October 1, 2024; however, if a change in control of Neo Medical occurs prior to the maturity date, the Convertible Loan shall become immediately due upon such event. The Convertible Loan is recorded in other long-term assets as an available for sale debt security at fair value, with applicable interest recorded in interest income. The fair value of the Convertible Loan, including accrued interest, is based upon significant unobservable inputs, including the use of Monte Carlo simulations, option-pricing models, and a probability-weighted discounted cash flows model, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. Therefore, the Company has categorized this asset as a Level 3 financial asset.
Some of the more significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Convertible Loan include applicable discount rates, implied volatility, the likelihood and projected timing of repayment or conversion, the probability and amount of subsequent capital raises by Neo Medical in order to fund the business, and projected cash flows in support of the estimated enterprise value of Neo Medical. Holding other inputs constant, changes in these assumptions could result in a significant change in the fair value of the Convertible Loan. If the amortized cost of the Convertible Loan exceeds its estimated fair value, the security is deemed to be impaired, and must be evaluated for the recognition of credit losses. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has 0t recognized any credit losses related to the Convertible Loan.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Convertible Loan, measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
(U.S. Dollars, in thousands) | | 2021 | | | 2020 | |
Fair value of Neo Medical Convertible Loan at January 1 | | $ | 7,160 | | | $ | — | |
Interest recognized in interest income, net | | | 305 | | | | — | |
Foreign currency remeasurement recognized in other expense, net | | | (270 | ) | | | — | |

The following table provides quantitative information related to certain key assumptions utilized within the valuation as of September 30, 2021:
(U.S. Dollars, in thousands) | | Fair Value as of September 30, 2021 | | | Unobservable inputs | | Estimate | |
Neo Medical Convertible Loan | | $ | 7,080 | | | Cost of equity discount rate | | | 21.6 | % |
| | | | | | Implied volatility | | | 90.4 | % |
Contingent Consideration
The Company recognized a contingent consideration obligation in connection with the acquisition of Spinal Kinetics in 2018. The Spinal Kinetics contingent consideration consisted of potential future milestone payments of up to $60.0 million in cash. The milestone payments included (i) $15.0 million upon U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of the M6-C artificial cervical disc (the “FDA Milestone”) and (ii) revenue-based milestone payments of up to $45.0 million in connection with future sales of the acquired artificial discs. Milestones must be achieved within five years of April 30, 2018 to trigger applicable payments. The FDA Milestone was achieved and paid in 2019. A second milestone payment, totaling $15.0 million, was achieved in the first quarter of 2021 and paid in the second quarter of 2021 upon meeting certain net sales targets.
The estimated fair value of the remaining Spinal Kinetics contingent consideration was $18.4 million as of September 30, 2021. The estimated fair value reflects assumptions made by management as of September 30, 2021, such as the expected timing and volume of elective procedures and the impact of these procedures on future revenues. However, the actual amount ultimately paid could be higher or lower than the fair value of the remaining contingent consideration (ultimate payment will either be $30.0 million or the liability will be reversed if the milestone is not met within the required timeline). As of September 30, 2021, the Company has classified the remaining contingent consideration liability within other long-term liabilities. Any changes in fair value are recorded as an operating expense within acquisition-related amortization and remeasurement.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Spinal Kinetics contingent consideration measured at estimated fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
(U.S. Dollars, in thousands) | | 2021 | | | 2020 | |
Spinal Kinetics contingent consideration estimated fair value at January 1 | | $ | 35,400 | | | $ | 42,700 | |
Decrease in fair value recognized in acquisition-related amortization and remeasurement | | | (2,000 | ) | | | (7,600 | ) |
Payment made | | | (15,000 | ) | | | — | |
Spinal Kinetics contingent consideration estimated fair value at September 30 | | $ | 18,400 | | | $ | 35,100 | |
The Company estimated the fair value of the remaining potential future revenue-based milestone payment using a Monte Carlo simulation and a discounted cash flow model. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are unobservable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. The key assumptions in applying the valuation model include the Company’s forecasted future revenues for Spinal Kinetics products, the expected timing of payment, applicable discount rates applied, and assumptions for potential volatility of the Company’s forecasted revenue. Significant changes in these assumptions could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value.
The following table provides a range of key assumptions used within the valuation as of September 30, 2021.
(U.S. Dollars, in thousands) | | Fair Value as of September 30, 2021 | | | Valuation Technique | | Unobservable inputs | | Range |
Spinal Kinetics contingent consideration | | $ | 18,400 | | | Discounted cash flow | | Revenue discount rate | | 6.5% - 6.7% |
| | | | | | | | Payment discount rate | | 3.9% - 4.0% |
| | | | | | | | Projected year of achievement | | 2022 |
8. Contingencies
In addition to the matters described 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.

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. There is considerable uncertainty about how the law will operate and what the exact timeline is for finalization. The Company’s current assessment of the IMDP involves significant judgment regarding the expected scope and actual implementation terms of the measure as the latter have not been clarified to date by Italian authorities. The Company accounts for the estimated cost of the IMDP as sales and marketing expense and periodically reassesses this liability based upon current facts and circumstances. As a result, the Company recorded expense of $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and expense of $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, 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 the law has been clarified by the Italian authorities.
Brazil
In 2019, in relation to an ongoing legal dispute with a former Brazilian distributor, approximately $0.5 million (based upon foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2021) of the Company’s cash in Brazil was frozen upon request to satisfy a judgment. Although the Company is appealing the judgment, this cash has been reclassified to restricted cash. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has an accrual of $0.8 million related to this matter, which is classified within other current liabilities.

Contract Liabilities
The Company’s contract liabilities largely relate to a prepayment of $13.9 million received in April 2020 from the CMS as part of the Accelerated and Advance Payment Program of the CARES Act.
In October 2020, the President of the United States signed the “Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021 and Other Extensions Act,” which relaxed a number of the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Programs recoupment terms for providers and suppliers that received funds from the program. Starting in April 2021, Medicare began to recoup 25% of Medicare payments otherwise owed to the provider or supplier for submitted claims. After 11 months, recoupment will increase to 50% for another 6 months. Thus, during these time periods, rather than receiving the full amount of payment for newly submitted claims, the Company’s outstanding accelerated / advance payment balance will be reduced by the recoupment amount until the full balance has been repaid.
As of September 30, 2021, the balance of the contract liability associated with the Accelerated and Advance Payment Program of the CARES Act totaled $7.9 million. The Company has classified the entire balance of this contract liability within other current liabilities based upon the Company’s estimates of when such funds will be recouped.

12. Acquisition-related amortization and remeasurement
Acquisition-related amortization and remeasurement consists of (i) amortization related to intangible assets acquired through business combinations or asset acquisitions, (ii) the remeasurement of any related contingent consideration arrangements, and (iii) recognized costs associated with acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets, which are recognized immediately upon acquisition. Components of acquisition-related amortization and remeasurement are as follows:

On April 7, 2021, the Company 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, the Company agreed to pay up to $4.0 million, with certain payments contingent upon reaching an FDA milestone. Of this amount, $0.5 million was paid in the second quarter of 2021, which was recognized as acquired IPR&D costs within acquisition-related amortization and remeasurement. The License Agreement also includes certain minimum purchase requirements.

Total | | $ | 3,842 | | | $ | 3,841 | | | $ | 11,470 | | | $ | 12,399 | |
During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company issued 72,281 and 58,357 shares, respectively, of common stock related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises, and the vesting of restricted stock awards and units. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company issued 317,536 and 244,801 shares, respectively, of common stock related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises, and the vesting of restricted stock awards and units.
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, including discrete items. Due to the impact of losses not benefited by the Company’s European manufacturing subsidiary and certain non-deductible financial statement expenses, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
16
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the effective tax rate was 14.4% and 11.5%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the effective tax rate was (43.1%) and 300.3%. The primary factors affecting the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, were certain losses not benefited, the remeasurement of contingent consideration (which is predominantly not recognized for tax purposes), limits on the deductibility of executive compensation, the reversal of tax benefits related to certain performance stock units forfeited in the current year, and a favorable tax ruling related to certain previously unrecognized tax benefits.
During the first quarter, the Company received a favorable ruling related to certain previously unrecognized tax benefits, which resulted in the recognition of a net benefit of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that, in the next 12 months, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to the resolution of federal, state, and foreign matters could be reduced by $1.0 million to $1.5 million as audits close and statutes expire.
15. Earnings per share (“EPS”)
The Company uses the two-class method of computing basic EPS due to the existence of non-vested restricted stock awards with nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (referred to as participating securities). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, no significant 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 September 30, | | | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2021 | | | 2020 | | | 2021 | | | 2020 | |
Weighted average common shares-basic | | | 19,769,823 | | | | 19,335,718 | | | | 19,633,782 | | | | 19,217,057 | |

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of Orthofix Medical Inc.’s (sometimes referred to as “we,” “us” or “our”) financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with the “Forward-Looking Statements” and our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Executive Summary

COVID-19 Update and Outlook
The global COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected our hospital and physician customers, patients, communities, employees, and business operations. At various points in time, the pandemic has led to the cancellation or deferral of elective surgeries and procedures with certain hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and other medical facilities; restrictions on travel; the implementation of physical distancing measures; and the temporary or permanent closure of businesses. At this time, the future trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain, both in the U.S. and in other markets. Significant progress has been made on therapeutic treatments and the development and distribution of vaccines, though the efficacy, timing, and adoption of various treatments and vaccines continue to be uncertain.
Given these various uncertainties, it is unclear the extent to which lingering slowdowns in elective procedures will affect our business during 2021 and beyond. We expect that the effects of COVID-19 on our business will depend on various factors including (i) the magnitude and length of increased case waves in certain geographies, (ii) the existence of multiple strains or variants of the virus that cause COVID-19, and the effectiveness of treatments and vaccines against such variants, (iii) the comfort level of patients in returning to clinics and hospitals, (iv) the extent to which localized elective surgery shutdowns occur, (v) the unemployment rate’s effect on potential patients lacking medical insurance coverage, (vi) the effects of any supply chain disruption or raw material shortages for key product components, (vii) potential labor shortages for our customers or suppliers, and (viii) general hospital capacity constraints occurring because of the need to treat COVID-19 patients.

For information regarding contingencies, see Note 8 to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.
Impact of COVID-19 and the CARES Act on Liquidity and Capital Resources
In March 2020, the CARES Act entered into U.S. federal law, which provided emergency assistance and health care for individuals, families, and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In April 2020, we received $13.9 million in funds from the CMS Accelerated and Advance Payment Program to increase cash flow to providers of services and suppliers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting in April 2021, Medicare began to recoup 25% of Medicare payments otherwise owed to the provider or supplier for submitted claims. After 11 months, recoupment will increase to 50% for another 6 months. Thus, during these time periods, rather than receiving the full amount of payment for newly submitted claims, the Company’s outstanding accelerated / advance payment balance will be reduced by the recoupment amount until the full balance has been repaid. As of September 30, 2021, the balance of the contract liability associated with the Accelerated and Advance Payment Program of the CARES Act totaled $7.9 million. The Company has classified the entire balance of this contract liability within other current liabilities based upon the Company’s estimates of when such funds will be recouped.
Further, as part of the CARES Act, we were permitted to defer all employer social security payroll tax payments through December 31, 2020, such that 50% of the taxes would be deferred until December 31, 2021, with the remaining 50% deferred until December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had deferred $0.6 million in social security payroll tax payments under this program. All deferred tax payments were repaid in January 2021. As of September 30, 2021, we have no deferred balance associated with this program.
Spinal Kinetics Contingent Consideration
Per the terms of the acquisition agreement under which we acquired Spinal Kinetics, we agreed to make contingent milestone payments of up to $60.0 million in cash to former Spinal Kinetics’ shareholders. One milestone payment, which was for $15.0 million, became due upon FDA approval of Spinal Kinetics’ M6-C artificial cervical disc (the “FDA Milestone”). The FDA Milestone was achieved and paid in 2019. A second milestone payment, totaling $15.0 million, was achieved in the first quarter of 2021 and paid in the second quarter of 2021 upon meeting certain net sales targets.
The remaining milestone payment is a revenue-based milestone payment of $30.0 million in connection with future sales of the acquired artificial discs. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement as of September 30, 2021, was $18.4 million; however, the actual amount ultimately paid could be higher or lower than the fair value of the contingent consideration (ultimate payment will either be $30.0 million or the liability will be reversed if the milestone is not met within the required timeline). As of
25
September 30, 2021, 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.
FITBONE Asset Acquisition
In February 2020, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Wittenstein SE (“Wittenstein”), a privately-held German-based company, to acquire assets associated with the FITBONE intramedullary lengthening system for limb lengthening of the femur and tibia bones. At the time of the acquisition, we also entered into a Contract Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (“CMSA”) with Wittenstein. The CMSA with Wittenstein has an initial term of up to two years to manufacture the FITBONE product line. As consideration for the CMSA, we will pay $2.0 million to Wittenstein at the conclusion of the agreement if certain conditions are met in relation to the prompt delivery of manufactured products. This payment is expected to be made in the first quarter of 2022.
Neo Medical Convertible Loan
In October 2020, we entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement (the “Convertible Loan”) with Neo Medical SA, a privately held Swiss-based Medtech company (“Neo Medical”), whereby we loaned CHF 4.6 million to Neo Medical. The loan bears interest at 8.0%, with interest due semi-annually. The Convertible Loan matures in October 2024; however, if a change in control of Neo Medical occurs prior to maturity, the Convertible Loan shall become immediately due upon such event.
Related Party Transaction
On February 2, 2021, we entered into a technology assignment and royalty agreement with a medical device technology company partially owned and controlled by the wife of President and Chief Executive Officer, Jon Serbousek, whereby we acquired the intellectual property rights to certain assets for consideration of up to $10.0 million. Consideration was comprised of $1.0 million due at signing and $9.0 million in contingent consideration, dependent upon multiple milestones, such as receipt of 510(k) clearance or the attainment of certain net sales targets. For additional discussion regarding this transaction, see Note 3 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
IGEA S.p.A Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement
On April 7, 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. Per the terms of the License Agreement, we will have the exclusive right to sell IGEA products in the U.S. and Canada. As consideration for the License Agreement, we agreed to pay up to $4.0 million, of which $0.5 million was paid in the second quarter of 2021, with certain payments contingent upon achieving an FDA milestone. The License Agreement also includes certain minimum purchase requirements.
Brazil
In September 2019, in relation to an ongoing legal dispute with a former Brazilian distributor, approximately $0.5 million (based upon foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2021) of our cash in Brazil was frozen upon request to satisfy a judgment. Although we are appealing the judgment, this cash has been reclassified to restricted cash. As of September 30, 2021, we have an accrual of $0.8 million related to this matter, which is classified within other current liabilities
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2021, 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, 2020.
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
26
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our critical accounting estimates are detailed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates.
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. As of September 30, 2021, we do not expect any of the issued Accounting Standards Updates to materially affect our condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
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 metrics used to supplement information regarding the performance and underlying trends of our business operations in order 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 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 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 GAAP measures, but is most commonly used by management to analyze net sales without the impact of changes in foreign currency rates.
EBITDA
EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric defined as earnings before interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. 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, 2020.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. These include controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021. Based on this evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021.
27
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting, known to the President and Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer that occurred for the quarterly period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
For information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 8 to the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein, which is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factors supplement and should be read in conjunction with those contained in the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic and related supply chain and raw material disruptions could have a continuing material impact on our global operations and the operations of our supply chain, which could adversely impact our business results and financial condition.
We rely on a limited number of suppliers to manufacture or supply certain products or components. In the event of interruption within our supply chain, or global shortages of key supplies or components, we may not be able to increase capacity from other sources or develop alternative or secondary sources without incurring material additional costs and/or substantial delays. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a global shortage of semiconductor chips, which are used in certain of our products. This shortage appears primarily to have been caused by manufacturers experiencing shutdowns or slowdowns during the pandemic, and it may take several fiscal quarters or longer for normalized capacity to return. In addition, limitations in key raw material supplies could also cause semiconductor chip and other component shortages to continue. To the extent it continues, or more shortages are experienced, particularly on a longer term basis, this could adversely affect our ability to procure such components and manufacture certain of our products or it could require us to redesign any affected products in order to incorporate more readily available components, which may require additional regulatory testing and approvals. Thus, our business could be adversely affected in a significant manner if one or more of our suppliers are impacted by any interruption at a particular location or in relation to a particular material or component.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We have not made any repurchases of our common stock during the third quarter of 2021.
