CONMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, in thousands except per share amounts)

Note 1 – Operations

CONMED Corporation (“CONMED”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a medical technology company that provides surgical devices and equipment for minimally invasive procedures.  The Company’s products are used by surgeons and physicians in a variety of specialties including orthopedics, general surgery, gynecology, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery and gastroenterology.

Note 2 - Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. The information herein reflects all normal recurring material adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statements of the results for the periods presented. The consolidated condensed financial statements herein consist of all wholly-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. Results for the period ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

The consolidated condensed financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 3 - Revenues

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is codified in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, effective January 1, 2018. ASC 606 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has applied the modified retrospective approach to adoption whereby the standard is applied only to the current period.

Adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements. Certain costs previously included in selling and administrative expense and principally related to administrative fees paid to group purchasing organizations are required to be recorded as a reduction of revenue under the new standard. These costs amounted to $2.0 million and $2.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $3.9 million and $3.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These costs are included as a reduction in net sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and as selling and administrative expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. There is no impact on net income or earnings per share as a result of this change.

The Company recognizes revenue when we have satisfied a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (that is an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when the customer obtains control of that asset. The following policies apply to our major categories of revenue transactions:

Revenue is recognized when product is shipped and the customer obtains control of the product. Payment by the customer is due under fixed payment terms and collectability is reasonably assured.

We place certain of our capital equipment with customers on a loaned basis in return for commitments to purchase related single-use products over time periods generally ranging from one to three years. In these circumstances, no revenue is recognized upon capital equipment shipment as the equipment is loaned and subject to return if certain minimum single-use purchases are not met. Revenue is recognized upon the sale and shipment of the related single-use products. The cost of the equipment is amortized over its estimated useful life which is generally five years.

Product returns are only accepted at the discretion of the Company and in accordance with our “Returned Goods Policy”. Historically, the level of product returns has not been significant. We accrue for sales returns, rebates and allowances based upon an analysis of historical customer returns and credits, rebates, discounts and current market conditions.


4


Our terms of sale to customers generally do not include any obligations to perform future services. Limited warranties are provided for capital equipment sales and provisions for warranty are provided at the time of product sale based upon an analysis of historical data.

Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling have been included in net sales. Shipping and handling costs included in selling and administrative expense were $6.6 million and $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

We sell to a diversified base of customers around the world and, therefore, believe there is no material concentration of credit risk.

We assess the risk of loss on accounts receivable and adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts based on this risk assessment. Historically, losses on accounts receivable have not been material. Management believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.3 million at June 30, 2018 is adequate to provide for probable losses resulting from accounts receivable.

We recognize revenues related to the promotion and marketing of sports medicine allograft tissue in accordance with the contractual terms of our agreement with Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (“MTF”) on a net basis as our role is limited to that of an agent earning a commission or fee. MTF records revenue when the tissue is shipped to the customer. Our services are completed at this time and net revenues for the “Service Fee” for our promotional and marketing efforts are then recognized based on a percentage of the net amounts billed by MTF to its customers. The timing of revenue recognition is determined through review of the net billings made by MTF each month. Our net commission Service Fee is based on the contractual terms of our agreement and is currently 50%. This percentage can vary over the term of the agreement but is contractually determinable. Our Service Fee revenues are recorded net of amortization of the acquired assets, which are being amortized over the expected useful life of 25 years.

We sell extended warranties to customers that are typically for a period of one to three years. The related revenue is recorded as a contract liability and recognized over the life of the contract on a straight-line basis, which is reflective of our obligation to stand ready to provide repair services. The Company previously expensed as incurred commissions paid for the sale of extended warranty contracts to customers. Under the new guidance, the Company capitalizes these contract acquisition costs and realizes the expense in line with the related extended warranty contract revenue recognition. Upon adoption of the new standard, we recorded a cumulative adjustment of $0.4 million net of income taxes to beginning shareholders’ equity in order to capitalize costs incurred to obtain contracts with customers.
    
The following tables present revenue disaggregated by primary geographic market where the products are sold, by product line and timing of revenue recognition:

Note 5 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
 We enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only. We operate internationally and in the normal course of business are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. We use forward contracts, a type of derivative instrument, to manage certain foreign currency exposures.
 
By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. We enter into forward contracts with major investment grade financial institutions and have policies to monitor the credit risk of those counterparties. While there can be no assurance, we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of these counterparties.
 
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts. We hedge forecasted intercompany sales denominated in foreign currencies through the use of forward contracts.  We account for these forward contracts as cash flow hedges.  To the extent these forward contracts meet hedge accounting criteria, changes in their fair value are not included in current earnings but are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.  These changes in fair value will be recognized into earnings as a component of sales or cost of sales when the forecasted transaction occurs.  The notional contract amounts for forward contracts outstanding at June 30, 2018 which have been accounted for as cash flow hedges totaled $136.9 million. Net realized gains (losses) recognized for forward contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges approximated $(0.4) million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $(1.6) million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

7


At June 30, 2018, $0.5 million of net unrealized gains on forward contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges, and included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, are expected to be recognized in earnings in the next twelve months.

We also enter into forward contracts to exchange foreign currencies for United States dollars in order to hedge our currency transaction exposures.  These forward contracts settle each month at month-end, at which time we enter into new forward contracts.  We have not designated these forward contracts as hedges and have not applied hedge accounting to them.  The notional contract amounts for forward contracts outstanding at June 30, 2018 which have not been designated as hedges totaled $34.3 million. Net realized gains (losses) recognized in connection with those forward contracts not accounted for as hedges approximated $0.4 million and $(0.4) million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, offsetting gains (losses) on our intercompany receivables of $(0.6) million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net realized gains (losses) approximated $0.3 million and $(0.6) million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, offsetting gains (losses) on our intercompany receivables of $(0.7) million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These gains and losses have been recorded in selling and administrative expense in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income.
 
We record these forward foreign exchange contracts at fair value. The following tables summarize the fair value for forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Our forward foreign exchange contracts are subject to a master netting agreement and qualify for netting in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. Accordingly, at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we have recorded the net fair value of $1.4 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets and non-current other assets and $5.7 million in other current liabilities, respectively.
 
Fair Value Disclosure. FASB guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and related disclosure requirements. This guidance applies when fair value measurements are required or permitted. The guidance indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value is defined based upon an exit price model.

Valuation Hierarchy. A valuation hierarchy was established for disclosure of the inputs to the valuations used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks or inputs that are derived principally from, or

8


corroborated by, observable market data through correlation. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There have been no significant changes in the assumptions.
 
Valuation Techniques. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 consist of forward foreign exchange contracts and contingent liabilities associated with a business acquisition. The Company values its forward foreign exchange contracts using quoted prices for similar assets. The most significant assumption is quoted currency rates. The value of the forward foreign exchange contract assets and liabilities were valued using Level 2 inputs and are listed in the table above.  
    
The carrying amounts reported in our consolidated condensed balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt approximate fair value.

Note 7 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share (“diluted EPS”) gives effect to all dilutive potential shares outstanding resulting from employee stock options, restricted stock units, performance share units and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") during the period. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

The shares used in the calculation of diluted EPS exclude options and SARs to purchase shares where the exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares for the period and the effect of the inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Such shares aggregated approximately 0.8 million and 0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and approximately 1.4 million and 2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Customer and distributor relationships, trademarks and tradenames, developed technology and patents and other intangible assets primarily represent allocations of purchase price to identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Promotional, marketing and distribution rights represent intangible assets created under our Sports Medicine Joint Development and Distribution Agreement (the "JDDA") with Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (“MTF”).

Amortization expense related to intangible assets which are subject to amortization totaled $5.7 million and $5.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $11.2 million and $10.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included as a reduction of revenue (for amortization related to our promotional, marketing and distribution rights) and in selling and administrative expense (for all other intangible assets) in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income. Included in developed technology is $25.8 million of earn-out consideration that is considered probable as of June 30, 2018 associated with a prior asset acquisition. This is recorded in other current liabilities at June 30, 2018. This acquired developed technology has a weighted average useful life of 14 years. Included in patents and other intangible assets at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is an in-process research and development asset that is not currently amortized.

Note 9 – Guarantees

We provide warranties on certain of our products at the time of sale and sell extended warranties. The standard warranty period for our capital and reusable equipment is generally one year and our extended warranties typically vary from one to three years. Liability under service and warranty policies is based upon a review of historical warranty and service claim experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and historical experience warrant.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we did not have any costs related to restructuring, acquisitions or legal matters.    

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred $0.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in costs associated with operational restructuring. These costs were charged to cost of sales and included severance, inventory and other charges.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we restructured certain selling and administrative functions and incurred $1.3 million in costs consisting principally of severance charges.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in costs associated with the January 4, 2016 acquisition of SurgiQuest, Inc. The costs were associated with expensing of unvested options acquired and integration related costs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred $12.2 million in costs associated with the SurgiQuest, Inc. vs. Lexion Medical litigation verdict whereby SurgiQuest was found liable for $2.2 million in compensatory damages with an additional $10.0 million in punitive damages as further described in Note 13. These costs remain accrued in other current liabilities at June 30, 2018 and were subsequently paid on July 10, 2018. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred $2.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, in costs associated with this litigation and other legal matters.

Note 12 — Business Segments

Note 13 – Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are subject to claims alleging product liability, patent infringement or other claims incurred in the ordinary course of business. These may involve our United States or foreign operations, or sales by foreign distributors. Likewise, from time to time, the Company may receive an information request or subpoena from a government agency such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, Department of Justice, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Department of Labor, the Treasury Department or other federal and state agencies or foreign governments or government agencies. These information requests or subpoenas may or may not be routine inquiries, or may begin as routine inquiries and over time develop into enforcement actions of various types. Likewise, we receive reports of alleged misconduct from employees and third parties, which we investigate as appropriate.

Manufacturers of medical devices have been the subject of various enforcement actions relating to interactions with health care providers domestically or internationally whereby companies are claimed to have provided health care providers with inappropriate incentives to purchase their products. Similarly, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") imposes obligations on manufacturers with respect to interactions with health care providers who may be considered government officials based on their affiliation with public hospitals. The FCPA also requires publicly listed manufacturers to maintain accurate books and records, and maintain internal accounting controls sufficient to provide assurance that transactions are accurately recorded, lawful and in accordance with management's authorization. The FCPA poses unique challenges both because manufacturers operate in foreign cultures in which conduct illegal under the FCPA may not be illegal in local jurisdictions, and because, in some cases, a United States manufacturer may face risks under the FCPA based on the conduct of third parties over whom the manufacturer may not have complete control. While CONMED has not experienced any material enforcement action to date, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to a material enforcement action in the future, or that the Company will not incur costs including, in the form of fees for lawyers and other consultants, that are material to the Company’s results of operations in the course of responding to a future inquiry or investigation.

Manufacturers of medical products may face exposure to significant product liability claims. To date, we have not experienced any product liability claims that have been material to our financial statements or financial condition, but any such claims arising in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows. We currently maintain commercial product liability insurance of $25 million per incident and $25 million in the aggregate annually, which we believe is adequate. This coverage is on a claims-made basis. There can be no assurance that claims will not exceed insurance coverage, that the carriers will be solvent or that such insurance will be available to us in the future at a reasonable cost.

We establish reserves sufficient to cover probable losses associated with any such pending claims. We do not expect that the resolution of any pending claims, investigations or reports of alleged misconduct will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that future claims or investigations, or the costs associated with responding to such claims, investigations or reports of misconduct, especially claims and investigations not covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our operations are subject, and in the past have been subject, to a number of environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, air emissions; wastewater discharges; the use, handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes; soil and groundwater remediation and employee health and safety. In some jurisdictions, environmental requirements may be expected to become more stringent in the future. In the United States, certain environmental laws can impose liability for the entire cost of site restoration upon each of the parties that may have contributed to conditions at the site regardless of fault or the lawfulness of the party’s activities. While we do not believe that the present costs of environmental compliance and remediation are material, there can be no assurance that future compliance or remedial obligations would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2017, the previously disclosed lawsuit involving false advertising claim by Lexion Medical ("Lexion") against SurgiQuest arising prior to the acquisition of SurgiQuest by CONMED went to trial in federal court in the District of Delaware.  The claims arose under the Lanham Act, as well as Delaware state laws.  Lexion sought damages of $22.0 million for alleged lost profits and $18.7 million for costs related to alleged “corrective advertising,” as well as damages claimed for disgorgement of SurgiQuest’s alleged profits and attorneys' fees.  On January 4, 2016, SurgiQuest became a subsidiary of CONMED, and we assumed the costs and liabilities related to the Lexion lawsuit subject to the terms of the merger agreement.  On April 11, 2017, a jury returned a verdict finding SurgiQuest liable for $2.2 million in compensatory damages with an additional $10.0 million in punitive damages. These costs were recorded in selling and administrative expense during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and remain accrued in other current liabilities at June 30, 2018. The District Court entered judgment on April 13, 2017.  CONMED and Lexion each filed post-verdict motions. Lexion sought an equitable award for disgorgement of SurgiQuest’s alleged profits, for so-called corrective advertising and for attorney’s fees. CONMED sought to vacate the award of punitive damages.  By

13


memorandum decision dated May 16, 2018, the District Court denied both Lexion’s and SurgiQuest’s post-verdict motions. The period within which either Lexion or SurgiQuest was able to pursue an appeal expired in June without either party seeking to appeal the judgment. CONMED paid the judgment, together with post-judgment interest, in a total amount of $12.3 million on July 10, 2018.

In 2014, the Company acquired EndoDynamix, Inc. The agreement governing the terms of the acquisition provide that, if various conditions are met, certain contingent payments relating to the first commercial sale of the products (the milestone payment), as well as royalties based on sales (the revenue based payments), are due to the seller. We have notified the seller that there is a need to redesign the product, and that as a consequence, the first commercial sale has been delayed. Consequently, the payment of contingent milestone and revenue-based payments have been delayed. On January 18, 2017, the seller provided notice ("the Notice") seeking $12.7 million, which essentially represents the seller's view as to the sum of the projected contingent milestone and revenue-based payments on an accelerated basis. CONMED responded to the Notice denying that there was any basis for acceleration of the payments due under the acquisition agreement. On February 22, 2017, the representative of the former shareholders of EndoDynamix filed a complaint in Delaware Chancery Court claiming breach of contract with respect to the duty to commercialize the product and seeking the contingent payments on an accelerated basis. We believe that there was a substantive contractual basis to support the Company's decision to redesign the product, such that there was no legitimate basis for seeking the acceleration of the contingent payments. We expect to defend the claims asserted by the sellers of EndoDynamix in the Delaware Court, although there can be no assurance that we will prevail in the litigation.

Note 14 – New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, along with amendments issued in 2015 and 2016, which is codified in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606. This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2018, applying the modified retrospective method, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as further described in Note 3.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in total cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The Company adopted this new guidance effective January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation Retirement Benefits (ASC 715) - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.  This ASU requires companies to record the service component of net periodic pension cost in the same income statement line as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period.  The other components of net periodic pension cost would be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside the subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented.  The Company adopted this new guidance effective January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Based Compensation (ASC 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU does not change the accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should be applied if there is a change to the value, vesting conditions, or award classification and would not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. The Company adopted this new guidance effective January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). This requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. ASU 2016-02 states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02.
    

14


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This new guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, however early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This ASU makes more financial and non-financial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess effectiveness. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). This ASU provides entities with the option to eliminate the stranded tax effects associated with the change in tax rates under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act through a reclassification of the stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU is intended to simplify aspects of share-based compensation issued to non-employees by making the guidance consistent with accounting for employee share-based compensation. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 15 – Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017 the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) was enacted. At December 31, 2017, the Company recorded estimated provisional amounts for the deemed repatriation toll charge implemented by the Tax Reform, related to foreign tax credits, deferred tax revaluation amounts and deferred tax liabilities on unremitted foreign earnings. Staff Accounting Bulletin No. (SAB) 118 provides an extended measurement period to finalize the effects of Tax Reform for the period of enactment. Tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes no changes from these initial assessments.

FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, (GILTI) allows for an election to account for GILTI under the deferred method which requires recognizing deferred taxes for basis differences which will impact the GILTI inclusion upon reversal or as a period cost. The Company is still evaluating this election and will complete its accounting for Tax Reform, including this election, within the measurement period prescribed by SAB 118.

Income tax expense has been recorded at an effective tax rate of 24.8% and 26.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and at an effective tax rate of 19.4% and 10.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The lower effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily the result of the lower federal statutory tax rate of 21% enacted with Tax Reform which was offset by other provisions of Tax Reform including global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as well as income earned in foreign jurisdictions with effective tax rates in excess of the federal statutory rate. The higher effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to stock option income tax benefits which reduced the effective tax rate by 3.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to a reduction of 12.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2017. In addition, the lower federal statutory tax rate of 21% enacted with Tax Reform was offset by other provisions of Tax Reform including global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as well as income earned in foreign jurisdictions with effective tax rates in excess of the federal statutory rate.

A significant amount of our products are used in surgical procedures with approximately 80% of our revenues derived from the sale of single-use products. Our capital equipment offerings also facilitate the ongoing sale of related disposable products and accessories, thus providing us with a recurring revenue stream. We manufacture substantially all of our products in facilities located in the United States and Mexico. We market our products both domestically and internationally directly to customers and through distributors. International sales approximated 48% during both the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Business Environment

The development, manufacture, sale and distribution of our products are subject to regulation by numerous agencies and legislative bodies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and comparable foreign counterparts. We continually review our production systems for opportunities to reduce operating costs, consolidate product lines or process flows, reduce inventory requirements and optimize existing processes while maintaining compliance with regulations.     

Critical Accounting Policies

Preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2017 describes the significant accounting policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the critical accounting policies used to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, those related to:

revenue recognition;
                    
inventory valuation;

goodwill and intangible assets;

pension plan;

stock-based compensation costs; and

income taxes.

See Note 3 to the consolidated condensed financial statements for updates to our accounting policy resulting from the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is codified in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606.

(a) Adjusted net sales growth is measured in constant currency and is adjusted for administrative fees that we began recording as a reduction of revenue under ASC 606 on January 1, 2018. Refer to Note 3 to the consolidated condensed financial statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for further details.

Net sales increased 7.9% and 8.1% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to the same period a year ago due to growth in both the Orthopedic and General Surgery product lines, as described below. The adoption of ASC 606 reduced sales growth by $2.0 million and $3.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as we are required to report certain costs previously recorded in selling and administrative fees, and principally related to administration fees paid to group purchasing organizations, as a reduction of revenue beginning in 2018.  

Orthopedic surgery sales increased 4.3% and 4.6% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, primarily due to continued growth in our sports medicine and powered instrument offerings driven by the introduction of new products.

General surgery sales increased 12.1% and 12.3% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, driven by continued sales growth from all product offerings. New product introductions and continued strong AirSeal® sales contributed to this growth.
Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased to $96.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $92.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017. Gross profit margins increased 1.5 percentage points to 54.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 53.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in gross profit margins of 1.5 percentage points in the three months ended June 30, 2018 was mainly a result of favorable foreign exchange rates on sales and product mix offset by the impact of the adoption of ASC 606.


18


Cost of sales increased to $189.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $179.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. Gross profit margins increased 1.1 percentage points to 54.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 53.3% in the six months ended ended June 30, 2017. The increase in gross profit margins of 1.1 percentage points in the six months ended June 30, 2018 was mainly a result of favorable foreign exchange rates on sales, a decrease in restructuring costs and product mix offset by the impact of the adoption of ASC 606.

Selling and Administrative Expense

Selling and administrative expense increased to $89.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $83.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and decreased to $174.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $178.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. Selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales decreased to 42.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 42.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and decreased to 42.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 46.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The significant factors affecting the 0.4 percentage point decrease in selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period a year ago included (1) a $2.0 million (1.1 percentage point) reduction in selling and administrative expense due to the adoption of ASC 606 as we are required to report certain costs previously recorded in selling and administrative fees, and principally related to administration fees paid to group purchasing organizations, as a reduction of revenue beginning in 2018 and (2) a $2.5 million (1.3 percentage point) decrease primarily due to legal fees associated with the SurgiQuest, Inc. vs. Lexion Medical litigation as further described in Notes 11 and 13 and and other legal matters during 2017. These decreases were offset by incremental compensation costs and investments in our infrastructure.

The significant factors affecting the 4.5 percentage point decrease in selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period a year ago included (1) a $3.9 million (1.0 percentage point) reduction in selling and administrative expense due to the adoption of ASC 606 as we are required to report certain costs previously recorded in selling and administrative fees, and principally related to administration fees paid to group purchasing organizations, as a reduction of revenue beginning in 2018, (2) a $16.7 million (4.4 percentage point) decrease primarily associated with the $12.2 million SurgiQuest, Inc. vs. Lexion Medical litigation verdict as further described in Notes 11 and 13 and legal fees associated with this and other legal matters during 2017, and (3) a $1.3 million (0.4 percentage point) decrease in restructuring costs as further described in Note 11 to the consolidated condensed financial statements. These decreases were offset by incremental compensation costs and investments in our infrastructure.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense increased to $10.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $8.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and increased to $17.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $15.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expense increased 0.6 percentage points to 4.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 4.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and increased 0.2 percentage points to 4.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 4.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2017 as we continue to increase efforts in new product development.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $5.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $4.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and increased to $9.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $8.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to higher interest rates compared to the same periods a year ago. The weighted average interest rates on our borrowings increased to 4.32% in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 3.43% in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and increased to 4.12% in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 3.32% in the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Provision for Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) was enacted. Tax Reform made significant changes to U.S. federal income tax laws including permanently lowering the federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

Income tax expense has been recorded at an effective tax rate of 24.8% and 26.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and at an effective tax rate of 19.4% and 10.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017,

19


respectively. The lower effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily the result of the lower federal statutory tax rate of 21% enacted with Tax Reform which was offset by other provisions of Tax Reform including global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as well as income earned in foreign jurisdictions with effective tax rates in excess of the federal statutory rate. The higher effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to stock option income tax benefits which reduced the effective tax rate by 3.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to a reduction of 12.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2017. In addition, the lower federal statutory tax rate of 21% enacted with Tax Reform was offset by other provisions of Tax Reform including global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as well as income earned in foreign jurisdictions with effective tax rates in excess of the federal statutory rate. Refer to Note 15 in the consolidated condensed financial statements for further information regarding the impact of Tax Reform to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. A reconciliation of the United States statutory income tax rate to our effective tax rate is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, under Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Net sales on an "adjusted" basis is a non-GAAP measure that presents net sales in "constant currency" and adjusts for the adoption impact of ASC 606. The Company analyzes net sales on a constant currency basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. To measure percentage sales growth in constant currency, the Company removes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates that affect the comparability and trend of net sales. In addition, the Company adjusts for the adoption impact of ASC 606. For GAAP purposes, we applied the modified retrospective transition approach which requires certain costs previously included in selling and administrative expense and principally related to administrative fees paid to group purchasing organizations, to be recorded as a reduction of revenue for periods subsequent to January 1, 2018.  Amounts reported in prior years remain unchanged with these administrative fees included in selling and administrative expense.  To improve comparability between reporting periods, we assumed ASC 606 had been applied as of January 1, 2017 thereby reducing net sales by the administrative fees for both periods when calculating adjusted sales growth.

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare this financial measure with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. This adjusted financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported net sales growth, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is an additional way of viewing net sales that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of our business. The Company strongly encourages investors and shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity needs arise primarily from capital investments, working capital requirements and payments on indebtedness under the fifth amended and restated senior credit agreement, described below. We have historically met these liquidity requirements with funds generated from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In addition, we have historically used term borrowings, including borrowings under the fifth amended and restated senior credit agreement, and borrowings under separate loan facilities, in the case of real property purchases, to finance our acquisitions. We also have the ability to raise funds through the sale of stock or we may issue debt through a private placement or public offering. Management believes that cash flow from operations, including cash and cash equivalents on hand and available borrowing capacity under our fifth amended and restated senior credit agreement, will be adequate to meet our anticipated operating working capital requirements, debt service, funding of capital expenditures and common stock repurchases in the foreseeable future.

Operating cash flows

Our net working capital position was $170.7 million at June 30, 2018.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $45.6 million and $31.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, generated on net income of $19.4 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The increase in cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period a year ago is primarily due to the increase in net income as 2017 included costs associated with restructuring and legal matters as further described in Note 11 to the consolidated condensed financial statements, including the $12.2 million accrual related to the Lexion trial verdict that was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and remains accrued at June 30, 2018. This accrual was subsequently paid on July 10, 2018.

Investing cash flows

Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018 consisted of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $7.3 million and $5.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and are expected to approximate $15.0 million in 2018.

Financing cash flows

Net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $47.1 million and $13.7 million, respectively. Below is a summary of the significant financing activities:

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we had net payments on our revolving line of credit of $30.0 million compared to net borrowings of $3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we repaid $6.6 million and $4.4 million, respectively, on our term loan in accordance with the agreement.

Dividend payments were $11.2 million and $11.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

On January 4, 2016, we entered into a fifth amended and restated senior credit agreement consisting of: (a) a $175.0 million term loan facility and (b) a $525.0 million revolving credit facility both expiring on January 4, 2021. The term loan is payable in quarterly installments increasing over the term of the facility. Proceeds from the term loan facility and borrowings under the revolving credit facility were used to repay the then existing senior credit agreement and to finance the acquisition of SurgiQuest. Interest rates are at LIBOR plus 1.875% (3.98% at June 30, 2018). For those borrowings where we elect to use the alternative base rate, the base rate will be the greater of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or the one-month Eurocurrency Rate plus 0.875%.

There were $150.9 million in borrowings outstanding on the term loan as of June 30, 2018. There were $297.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2018. Our available borrowings on the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2018 were $225.0 million with approximately $3.0 million of the facility set aside for outstanding letters of credit.

The fifth amended and restated senior credit agreement is collateralized by substantially all of our personal property and assets. The fifth amended and restated senior credit agreement contains covenants and restrictions which, among other things, require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrict dividend payments and the incurrence of certain indebtedness and other activities, including acquisitions and dispositions. We were in full compliance with these covenants and restrictions as of June 30, 2018. We are also required, under certain circumstances, to make mandatory prepayments from net cash proceeds from any issuance of equity and asset sales.

We have a mortgage note outstanding in connection with the Largo, Florida property and facilities bearing interest at 8.25% per annum with semiannual payments of principal and interest through June 2019. The principal balance outstanding on the mortgage note aggregated $1.6 million at June 30, 2018. The mortgage note is collateralized by the Largo, Florida property and facilities.

Our Board of Directors has authorized a $200.0 million share repurchase program. Through June 30, 2018, we have repurchased a total of 6.1 million shares of common stock aggregating $162.6 million under this authorization and have $37.4 million remaining available for share repurchases. The repurchase program calls for shares to be purchased in the open market or in private transactions from time to time. We may suspend or discontinue the share repurchase program at any time. We have not purchased any shares of common stock under the share repurchase program during 2018. We have financed the repurchases and may finance additional repurchases through operating cash flow and from available borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Management believes that cash flow from operations, including cash and cash equivalents on hand and available borrowing capacity under our fifth amended and restated senior credit agreement, will be adequate to meet our anticipated operating working capital requirements, debt service, funding of capital expenditures and common stock repurchases in the foreseeable future.
