NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

The Company

Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Alphatec Spine, Inc. (“Alphatec Spine”), SafeOp Surgical, Inc. (“SafeOp”), and EOS imaging S.A. (“EOS”), is a medical technology company that designs, develops, and markets technology for the treatment of spinal disorders associated with disease and degeneration, congenital deformities, and trauma. The Company markets its products in the United States of America and internationally via a network of independent distributors and direct sales representatives.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated during consolidation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Pursuant to these rules and regulations, the Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnotes it normally includes in its annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets, allowances for doubtful accounts, the valuation of share-based liabilities, deferred tax assets, inventory, stock-based compensation, revenues, restructuring liabilities, income tax uncertainties, and other contingencies.

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amount of financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term debt included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable estimates of fair value due to their short maturities.

Authoritative guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

 

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2:

Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Excess and Obsolete Inventory

Most of the Company’s inventory is comprised of finished goods, which is primarily produced by third-party suppliers. Specialized implants, fixation products, biologics, and disposables are determined by utilizing a standard cost method that includes capitalized variances which approximates the weighted average cost. Imaging equipment and related parts are valued at weighted average cost. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company reviews the components of its inventory on a periodic basis for excess and obsolescence and adjusts inventory to its net realizable value as necessary.

The Company records a lower of cost or net realizable value (“LCNRV”) inventory reserve for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based upon its expected use of inventory on hand. The Company’s inventory, which consists primarily of specialized implants, fixation products, biologics, and disposables is at risk of obsolescence due to the need to maintain substantial levels of inventory. In order to market its products effectively and meet the demands of interoperative product placement, the Company maintains and provides surgeons and hospitals with a variety of inventory products and sizes. For each surgery, fewer than all components will be consumed. The need to maintain and provide a wide variety of inventory causes inventory to be held that is not likely to be used.

The Company’s estimates and assumptions for excess and obsolete inventory are reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis. The estimates and assumptions are determined primarily based on current usage of inventory and the age of inventory quantities on hand. Additionally, the Company considers recent experience to develop assumptions about future demand for its products, while considering market conditions, product life cycles and new product launches. Increases in the LCNRV reserve for excess and obsolete inventory result in a corresponding charge to cost of sales.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), the Company recognizes revenue from sales of products and services when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The principles in Topic 606 are applied using the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.

Sales are derived primarily from the sale of spinal implant products to hospitals and medical centers through direct sales representatives and independent distributors, and with the acquisition of EOS, includes imaging equipment and related services. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied, which occurs with the transfer of control of products to customers, either upon shipment of the product or delivery of the product to the customer depending on the shipping terms, or when the products are used in a surgical procedure (implanted in a patient). Revenue from the sale of imaging equipment is recognized as each distinct performance obligation is fulfilled and control transfers to the customer, beginning with shipment or delivery, depending on the terms. Revenue from other distinct performance obligations, such as maintenance on imaging equipment and other imaging related services, is recognized in the period the service is performed, and makes up less than 10% of the Company’s total revenue. Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for the transfer of the goods or services specified in the contract with each customer.  In certain cases, the Company does offer the ability for customers to lease its imaging equipment primarily on a non-sales type basis, but such arrangements are immaterial to total revenue in the periods presented. The Company generally does not allow returns of products that have been delivered. Costs incurred by the Company associated with sales contracts with customers are deferred over the performance obligation period and recognized in the same period as the related revenue, except for contracts that complete within one year or less, in which case the associated costs are expensed as incurred. Payment terms for sales to customers may vary but are commensurate with the general business practices in the country of sale.

To the extent that the transaction price includes variable consideration, such as discounts, rebates, and customer payment penalties, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information that is reasonably available, including historical, current, and forecasted information and whether, in the Company’s judgement, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.

The Company records a contract liability, or deferred revenue, when it has an obligation to provide a product or service to the customer and payment is received in advance of its performance. When the Company sells a product or service with a future performance obligation, revenue is deferred on the unfulfilled performance obligation and recognized over the related performance period. Generally, the Company does not have observable evidence of the standalone selling price related to its future service obligations; therefore, the Company estimates the selling price using an expected cost plus a margin approach. The transaction price is allocated using the relative standalone selling price method. The use of alternative estimates could result in a different amount of revenue deferral.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The guidance requires application of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination. ASU No. 2021-08 adds an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805 where assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from contracts with customers, are measured at fair value on the acquisition date. Under the new guidance, the acquirer will recognize acquired contract assets and contract liabilities as if the acquirer had originated the contract. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not intend to early adopt the standard and is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. Business Combination

The Company recognizes assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition.

On December 16, 2020, the Company entered into the Tender Offer Agreement with EOS, pursuant to which the Company agreed to commence a public tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, nominal value €0.01 per share (collectively, the “EOS Shares”), for a cash offer of €2.45 per EOS Share, and outstanding convertible bonds of EOS (“OCEANEs”) for a cash offer of €7.01 per OCEANE, which included accrued but unpaid interest. On May 13, 2021 (the “Change in Control Date”), the Company substantially completed the Offer, pursuant to which the Company purchased 59% of the issued and outstanding EOS Shares and 53% of the OCEANEs for $66.5 million in cash pursuant to the Offer. In addition, prior to the Change in Control Date, the Company had also acquired 30% of the issued and outstanding EOS Shares and 4% of the OCEANEs on the open market for $25.0 million in cash. After the Change in Control Date, the Company held a controlling financial interest in EOS representing 89% of issued and outstanding EOS Shares and 57% of OCEANEs, equal to approximately 80% of the capital and voting rights of EOS on a fully diluted basis.  The Offer was reopened on May 17, 2021 to purchase the remaining EOS Shares for $8.5 million, ultimately resulting in the acquisition of 100% of EOS Shares and 57% of the OCEANEs as of June 2, 2021. As of June 2, 2021, the total cash paid to acquire 100% of the EOS Shares and 57% of the OCEANEs was $100.0 million.

EOS, which now operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a global medical device company that designs, develops and markets innovative, low dose 2D/3D full body and biplanar weight-bearing imaging, rapid 3D modeling of EOS patient X-ray images, web-based patient-specific surgical planning, and integration of surgical plan into the operating room that collectively bridge the entire spectrum of care from imaging to post-operative assessment capabilities for orthopedic surgery. The Company plans to integrate this technology into its procedural approach to spine surgery to better inform and better achieve spinal alignment objectives in surgery.

The Company is still in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocation given the timing of the acquisition and the size and scope of the assets and liabilities subject to valuation. While the Company does not expect material changes in the outcome of the valuation, certain assumptions and findings that were in place at the date of acquisition may result in changes in the purchase price allocation. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a purchase accounting adjustment primarily related to deferred tax assets, which resulted in a $1.6 million increase to goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values were as follows:

The purchase price, including cash paid at the Change in Control Date, the fair value of the investment held prior to the Change in Control Date, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest acquired after the Change in Control Date, exceeded the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition. As a result, the Company recorded goodwill in connection with the acquisition. Goodwill primarily consists of expected revenue synergies resulting from the combination of product portfolios and cost synergies related to elimination of redundant facilities and functions associated with the combined entity. Goodwill recognized in this transaction is not deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets acquired will be amortized on a straight-line basis over useful lives of ten years, seven years and ten years for technology-based, customer-related, and trade name related intangible assets, respectively. The estimated fair values of the intangible assets acquired were primarily determined using the income approach based on significant inputs that were not observable in the market.

The following table presents the unaudited pro forma results for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which combines the historical results of operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries as though the companies had been combined as of January 1, 2020 and therefore many of the non-recurring business combination adjustments would have been included in the year ended December 31, 2020 by nature of such adjustments, instead of the periods presented. The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that may have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at such time. The comparable period for the three months ended March 31, 2021 includes adjustments directly attributable to the business combination, including $1.8 million in amortization charges for acquired intangible assets, a $0.5 million adjustment related to the increased fair value of acquired inventory and $2.3 million in acquisition related expenses. The unaudited pro forma results include IFRS to U.S. GAAP adjustments for EOS historical results and adjustments for accounting policy alignment, which were materially similar to the Company. Any differences in accounting policies were adjusted to reflect the accounting policies of the Company in the unaudited pro forma results presented.

The Company issued a liability classified equity award to one of its executive officers. The award vests in 2023 subject to continued service and a specific market condition. As the award will be settled in cash, it is classified as a liability within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the Company is using a probability-weighted income approach, utilizing significant unobservable inputs including the probability of achieving the specific market condition with the valuation updated at each reporting period. The full fair value of the award was $3.2 million as of March 31, 2022 and is being recognized ratably as the underlying service period is provided.

0.75% Senior Convertible Notes due 2026

In August 2021, the Company issued $316.3 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured Senior Convertible Notes (the "2026 Notes") with a stated interest rate of 0.75% and a maturity date of August 1, 2026. Interest on the 2026 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2022. The net proceeds from the sale of the 2026 Notes were approximately $306.2 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ offering expenses and before cash use for the privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”), as described below, the repurchase of stock, and the repayment of the outstanding term loan with Squadron Medical Finance Solutions, LLC (“Squadron Medical”) and outstanding obligation under the Inventory Financing Agreement, as described below. The 2026 Notes do not contain any financial covenants.

 

The 2026 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock based upon an initial conversion rate of 54.5316 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $18.34 per share). The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including certain distributions and dividends to all or substantially all of the holders of the Company’s common stock. Based on the terms of the 2026 Notes, when a conversion notice is received, the Company has the option to pay or deliver cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof.

Holders of the Convertible Notes have the right to convert their notes in certain circumstances and during specified periods. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 2, 2026, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2026 Notes only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2021, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the 5 consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. From and after February 2, 2026, holders of the 2026 Notes may convert their notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. As of March 31, 2022, none of the conditions permitting the holders of the 2026 Notes to convert have been met. The 2026 Notes are classified as long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balances sheet as of March 31, 2022.

The 2026 Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after August 6, 2024 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time. In addition, calling any note for redemption will constitute a “make-whole fundamental change” with respect to that note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that note will be increased in certain circumstances if such note is converted after it is called for redemption.

 

If a fundamental change occurs prior to the maturity date, holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 2026 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. No principal payments are otherwise due on the 2026 Notes prior to maturity.

 

The Company recorded the full principal amount of the 2026 Notes as a long-term liability net of deferred issuance costs. The annual effective interest rate for the 2026 Notes is 1.4%. The interest expense recognized on the 2026 Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 includes $0.6 million for the contractual coupon interest and $0.5 million for the amortization of debt issuance costs. The Company uses the if-converted method for assumed conversion of the 2026 Notes to compute the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for diluted earnings per share, if applicable.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2026 Notes, the Company entered into the Capped Call Transactions with certain financial institutions. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset the cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes upon conversion of the 2026 Notes in the event that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The Capped Call Transactions have an initial cap price of $27.68 per share of the Company’s common stock, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on August 5, 2021, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. Collectively, the Capped Call Transactions cover, initially, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the 2026 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2026 Notes. The cost of the Capped Call Transactions was approximately $39.9 million.

The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions and are not part of the terms of the 2026 Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the notes. Holders of the 2026 Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions.

The Capped Call Transactions meet all of the applicable criteria for equity classification and, as a result, the related $39.9 million cost was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.

OCEANE Convertible Bonds

On May 31, 2018, EOS issued 4,344,651 OCEANE convertible bonds, denominated in Euros, due May 2023 for aggregate gross proceeds of $34.3 million (€29.5 million). The OCEANEs are unsecured obligations of EOS, rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of EOS, and pay interest at a rate equal to 6% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on May 31 and November 30 of each year, beginning November 30, 2018. Unless either earlier converted or repurchased, the OCEANEs will mature on May 31, 2023. Interest expense was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

As discussed in Note 3, in connection with the Offer to acquire EOS, the Company purchased 2,486,135 OCEANE convertible bonds, and as such, 1,858,516 OCEANE convertible bonds with a principal amount of $15.3 million (€12.6 million) remained outstanding at the time of acquisition.

Table of Contents

 

The OCEANEs are convertible by their holders into new EOS Shares or exchangeable for existing EOS Shares, at the Company’s option, at an initial conversion rate of one share per OCEANE, and the initial conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The OCEANEs are convertible at any time until the seventh business day prior to maturity or seventh business day prior to an earlier redemption of the OCEANE. If the number of shares calculated is not a whole number, the holder may request allocation of either the whole number of shares immediately below the number and receive an amount in cash equal to the remaining fractional share value, or the whole number of shares immediately above the number and pay an amount in cash equal to the remaining fractional share value. Holders of the OCEANEs have the option to convert all or any portion of such OCEANEs, regardless of any conditions, at any time until the close of seventh business day immediately preceding the maturity date.

EOS has a right to redeem all of the OCEANEs at its option any time after June 20, 2021 at a cash redemption price equal to the par value of the OCEANEs plus accrued and unpaid interest if the product of the volume-weighted-average price of the shares and the conversion ratio as specified in the agreement in effect on each trading day exceeds 150% of the par value of each OCEANE on each of at least twenty consecutive trading days during any forty consecutive trading days, if EOS redeems the OCEANEs when the number of OCEANEs outstanding is 15% or less of the number of OCEANEs originally issued, or the occurrence of a tender or exchange offer. As a result of the Company’s acquisition of EOS, the OCEANEs are now convertible into new shares of EOS, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. OCEANE holders can redeem the notes upon the occurrence of an event of default or upon the occurrence of a change of control. In July 2021, in connection with the change of control, holders of 25,971 OCEANEs chose to redeem their bonds for approximately $0.2 million (€0.2 million).

The carrying value of the outstanding OCEANEs was $13.9 million (€12.5 million) as of March 31, 2022. 

Other Debt Agreements

In January and April 2021, prior to the acquisition, EOS obtained two loan agreements, denominated in Euros, under French government sponsored COVID-19 relief initiatives (pret garanti par l’etat or “PGE” loans). Each loan contains a 12-month term and 90% of the principal balance of each loan is state guaranteed. The cost of the state guaranty is 0.25% of the loan amounts. The loans carry an interest-free rate from the commercial banks (€3.3 million) and a 1.75% interest from the lender (€1.5 million). The loan capital and loan guaranty costs are payable in full at the end of the 12-month term or the loan may be extended up to 5 additional years. If the Company chooses to extend the debt, the election must be made by the Company between months 8 and 11 of the 12-month term. The extension will carry an interest rate at the banks’ refinancing cost, to be applied from year 2 to year 6 and an increased state guaranty cost (50 to 200 bps, as per a scale with company size and extension year).

In February 2022, the Company extended the maturity for each loan agreement to 2027. Each loan has a 12-month period from the applicable extension date where interest only payments will occur (the “Interest Only Period”). Following the Interest Only Period, monthly and quarterly installments of principal and interest under each loan agreement will be due until the original principal amounts and applicable interest is fully repaid in 2027. The Company has recorded the debt as long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022. The outstanding obligation under each loan as of March 31, 2022 was $3.6 million and $1.6 million (€3.3 million and €1.5 million) at weighted average interest rates of 0.98% and 1.25%, respectively, and weighted average costs of the state guaranty of 0.69% and 1.00%, respectively.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by assessing whether there is an identified asset and whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset in exchange for consideration over a period of time. The Company recognizes right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and lease liabilities for office buildings and certain equipment with lease terms of 1 year to 10 years, some of which include options to extend and/or terminate the leases. Any short-term leases defined as twelve months or less or month-to-month leases were excluded and continue to be expensed each month. Total costs associated with these short-term leases is immaterial to all periods presented.

The Company aggregates all lease and non-lease components for each class of underlying assets into a single lease component and variable charges for common area maintenance and other variable costs are recognized as expense as incurred. Total variable costs associated with leases for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were immaterial. The Company had an immaterial amount of financing leases as of March 31, 2022, which is included in property and equipment, net, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Operating Lease

The Company occupies approximately 121,541 square feet of office, engineering, and research and development space in Carlsbad, California. On December 4, 2019, the Company entered into a 10-year operating lease that commenced on February 1, 2021 and will terminate on January 31, 2031, subject to two sixty-month options to renew which are not reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company recognized a $21.1 million ROU asset and $21.5 million lease liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet upon taking control of the premises on the lease commencement date. Base rent under the building lease for the first twelve months of the term will be $0.2 million per month subject to full abatement during months two through ten, and thereafter will increase annually by 3.0% throughout the remainder of the lease.

On April 9, 2021, the Company entered into a 7-year operating lease agreement for a distribution center which consists of approximately 75,643 square feet of office and warehouse space in Memphis, Tennessee. The term of the lease commenced on May 1, 2021 and will terminate on May 1, 2028, subject to two thirty-six-month options to renew which were not reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company recognized a $1.7 million ROU asset and $1.6 million lease liability upon taking control of the premises on the lease commencement date. Base rent under the new building lease will be commensurate with the Company’s proportionate share of occupancy of the new building and will increase annually by 3.0% throughout the remainder of the lease.

With the acquisition of EOS, the Company assumed its ROU assets and lease liabilities in the amount of $4.3 million. EOS occupies its main office in Paris, France. The EOS office in Paris, France is a 10-year operating lease that commenced in 2019 and will terminate in September 2028. Base rent under the lease is approximately $0.6 million per year.

Purchase Commitments

With the acquisition of EOS, the Company assumed its inventory purchase commitment agreement with a third-party supplier. The Company is obligated to certain minimum purchase commitment requirements through December 2026. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining minimum purchase commitment required by the Company under the agreement was $32.4 million.

Litigation

The Company is and may become involved in various legal proceedings arising from its business activities. While management is not aware of any litigation matter that in and of itself would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and depending on the nature and timing of a proceeding, an unfavorable resolution could materially affect the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period. The Company assesses contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual or disclosure in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating contingencies, the Company may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against the Company may be unsupported, exaggerated or unrelated to reasonably possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of the Company’s potential liability.

In February 2018, NuVasive, Inc. filed suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (NuVasive, Inc. v. Alphatec Holdings, Inc. et al., Case No. 3:18-cv-00347-CAB-MDD (S.D. Cal.)), alleging that certain of the Company’s products (including components of its Battalion™ Lateral System), infringe, or contribute to the infringement of, U.S. Patent Nos. 7,819,801, 8,355,780, 8,439,832, 8,753,270, 9,833,227 (entitled “Surgical access system and related methods”), U.S. Patent No. 8,361,156 (entitled “Systems and methods for spinal fusion”), and U.S. Design Patent Nos. D652,519 (“Dilator”) and D750,252 (“Intervertebral Implant”). NuVasive seeks unspecified monetary damages and an injunction against future purported infringement.

In March 2018, the Company moved to dismiss NuVasive’s claims of infringement of its design patents for failure to state a cognizable legal claim. In May 2018, the Court ruled that NuVasive failed to state a plausible claim for infringement of the asserted design patents and dismissed those claims with prejudice. The Company filed its answer, affirmative defenses and counterclaims to NuVasive’s remaining claims in May 2018.

Also in March 2018, NuVasive moved for a preliminary injunction. In March 2018, the Court denied that motion without prejudice for failure to comply with the Court’s chambers rules. In April 2018, NuVasive again moved for a preliminary injunction. In July 2018, after a hearing on the matter in June 2018, the Court denied that motion on the grounds that NuVasive failed to establish either likelihood of success on the merits or that it would suffer irreparable harm absent injunction.

In September 2018, NuVasive filed an Amended Complaint, asserting additional infringement claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,924,859, 9,974,531 and 8,187,334. The Company filed its answer, affirmative defenses and counterclaims to these claims in October 2018. Also in October 2018, NuVasive moved to dismiss the Company’s counterclaims that NuVasive intentionally had misled the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as a means of obtaining certain patents asserted against the Company. In January 2019, the Court denied NuVasive’s motion as to all but one counterclaim, but granted the Company leave to amend that counterclaim to cure dismissal. The Company amended that counterclaim in February 2019 and, that same month, NuVasive again moved to dismiss it. In March 2019, the Court denied NuVasive’s motion. NuVasive filed its Answer to the amended counterclaim in April 2019.

In December 2018, the Company filed a petition with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) challenging the validity of certain claims of the ’156 and ’334 Patents. In July 2019, PTAB instituted inter partes review (“IPR”) of the validity of asserted claims of the two patents at issue. In July 2019, PTAB instituted IPR of the validity of asserted claims of the two patents at issue and held a hearing on the matter in April 2020. In July 2020, the PTAB ruled that all challenged claims of the ‘156 Patent were valid (not unpatentable) and ruled that several challenged claims of the ‘334 Patent were invalid, while finding that other challenged claims of the ‘334 Patent valid. NuVasive and the Company both appealed the PTAB’s written decision on the matter. In February 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB’s ruling without opinion.

In January 2020, NuVasive filed a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of infringement and validity of the ’832, ’780 and ’270 Patents and the Company filed a Motion for Summary Judgment of non-infringement of all asserted claims and of invalidity of the ’832 Patent and for dismissal of NuVasive’s claim for lost profits and its allegations of assignor estoppel. In April 2020, the Court granted NuVasive’s Motion as to the alleged infringement of the ’832 Patent only and denied NuVasive’s Motion in all other respects. Also, in April 2020, the Court granted the Company’s Motion as to dismissal of the allegations of assignor estoppel and denied the Company’s Motion in all other respects.

In November 2020, NuVasive filed a Motion to Strike the Company’s Invalidity Contentions concerning the ’156 and ’334 Implant Patents. In April 2021, the Court denied NuVasive’s motion.

In January 2021, NuVasive filed a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of infringement and validity of the ’156 and ’334 Implant Patents and the Company filed a Motion for Summary Judgment of invalidity of those same patents. These motions were argued to the Court on June 29, 2021. In August 2021, the Court denied NuVasive’s motion and granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment of invalidity of the ’156 Patent. In September 2021, NuVasive elected not to proceed with its remaining claims for the ’334 Patent, ’780 Patent, ’270 Patent, ’227 Patent, and ’859 Patent. Trial on the remaining patents (’801 Patent, ’832 Patent, and ’531 Patent) began on March 1, 2022, and completed on March 11, 2022. On March 15, 2022, the Court ordered the parties to participate in post-trial settlement conference. The Court has not entered judgement, and, on joint motion of the parties, the Court has extended the deadlines for post-trial motions until May 20, 2022. The post-trial settlement conference took place on March 28, 2022. The parties remain engaged in settlement discussions and the Company continues to contest vigorously all claims asserted.

The Company does not anticipate that any outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements under which it occasionally indemnifies third-parties for intellectual property infringement claims or claims arising from breaches of representations or warranties. In addition, from time to time, the Company provides indemnity protection to third-parties for claims relating to past performance arising from undisclosed liabilities, product liabilities, environmental obligations, representations and warranties, and other claims. In these agreements, the scope and amount of remedy, or the period in which claims can be made, may be limited. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of future payments, if any, due under these indemnities due to the conditional nature of the obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each agreement.

In October 2017, NuVasive filed a lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court against Mr. Miles, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, who was a former officer and board member of NuVasive. The Company itself was not initially a named defendant in this lawsuit; however, on June 28, 2018, NuVasive amended its complaint to add the Company as a defendant. On October 12, 2018, the Delaware Court ordered that NuVasive begin advancing legal fees for Mr. Miles’ defense in the lawsuit, as well as Mr. Miles’ legal fees incurred in pursuing advancement of his fees, pursuant to an indemnification agreement between NuVasive and Mr. Miles. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has not recorded any liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to this matter.

Royalties

The Company has entered into various intellectual property agreements requiring the payment of royalties based on the sale of products that utilize such intellectual property. These royalties primarily relate to products sold by Alphatec Spine and are based on fixed fees or are calculated either as a percentage of net sales or on a per-unit sold basis. Royalties are included on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of cost of sales.

11. Orthotec Settlement

On September 26, 2014, the Company entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2014, by and among the Company and its direct subsidiaries, including Alphatec Spine, Inc., Alphatec Holdings International C.V., Scient'x S.A.S. and Surgiview S.A.S.; HealthpointCapital, LLC, HealthpointCapital Partners, L.P., HealthpointCapital Partners II, L.P., John H. Foster and Mortimer Berkowitz III; and Orthotec, LLC and Patrick Bertranou, (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Orthotec, LLC $49.0 million in cash, including initial cash payments totaling $1.75 million, which the Company previously paid in March 2014, and an additional lump sum payment of $15.75 million, which the Company previously paid in April 2014. The Company agreed to pay the remaining $31.5 million in 28 quarterly installments of $1.1 million and one additional quarterly installment of $0.7 million, commencing October 1, 2014. The unpaid balance of the principal amount due accrues interest at the rate of 7% per year until the balance is paid in full. The accrued but unpaid interest will be paid in quarterly installments of $1.1 million (or the full amount of the accrued but unpaid interest if less than $1.1 million) following the full payment of the $31.5 million in quarterly installments.

The payments set forth above are guaranteed by Stipulated Judgments held against the Company, HealthpointCapital Partners, L.P., HealthpointCapital Partners II, L.P., HealthpointCapital, LLC, John H. Foster and Mortimer Berkowitz III and, in the event of a default, will be entered and enforced against these entities and/or individuals in that order. In September 2014, the Company and HealthpointCapital entered into an agreement for joint payment of settlement whereby HealthpointCapital has agreed to contribute $5.0 million to the $49.0 million settlement amount. During the year ended December 31, 2021, HealthpointCapital made $4.0 million in payments and completed its contribution to the settlement amount.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company has made installment payments in the aggregate of $50.1 million, with a remaining outstanding balance of $7.7 million (including imputed interest). The Settlement Agreement provides for mutual releases of all claims in the Orthotec, LLC v. Surgiview, S.A.S, et al. matter in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County and all other related litigation matters involving the Company and its directors and affiliates.

In May 2020, an additional 1,076,000 Squadron Medical Warrants were issued at an exercise price of $4.88 per share in conjunction with the Company’s second amendment to the Squadron Medical debt for total Squadron Medical Warrants outstanding to Squadron Medical and the participant lender of 6,760,000. In conjunction with the second amendment, the expiration dates for all existing Squadron Medical Warrants were extended to May 29, 2027 to align all outstanding warrant expiration dates. No Squadron Medical Warrants have been exercised as of March 31, 2022.

Executive Warrants

In December 2017 the Company issued warrants to Mr. Patrick S. Miles, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to purchase approximately 1,327,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $5.00 per share (the “Executive Warrants”). The Executive Warrants have a five-year term and are exercisable by cash or cashless exercise. The Executive Warrants issued to Mr. Miles were accounted for as share based compensation, and the fair value of the Executive Warrants of approximately $1.4 million were recognized in full in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017, as the Executive Warrants were immediately vested upon issuance. No Executive Warrants have been exercised as of March 31, 2022.

14. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. If applicable, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

15. Income Taxes

To calculate its interim tax provision, at the end of each interim period the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the estimated annual taxable income or loss for the year and projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained, or the tax environment changes.

24


Table of Contents

 

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations was (0.30%) and (0.22%) for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% in each period primarily due to the Company’s net loss position and valuation allowance.

16. Related Party Transactions

In November 2018, the Company entered into the Term Loan and Inventory Financing Agreement with certain affiliates of Squadron Capital, LLC (“Squadron”), including an inventory supplier (the “Squadron Supplier Affiliate”). The Term Loan was amended in March 2019, May 2020, and December 2020. On August 10, 2021, the Company terminated and repaid all obligations under the Term Loan and the Inventory Financing Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company purchased inventory in the amounts of $2.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, from the Squadron Supplier Affiliate. As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had $1.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, due to the Squadron Supplier Affiliate, for inventory purchases. Squadron was a lead investor in the Private Placement that was closed on March 1, 2021. David Pelizzon, President and Director of Squadron, currently serves on the Company’s Board of Directors.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition to historical information, the following management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations includes forward-looking information that involves risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and any updates to those risk factors filed from time to time in our subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC.

Overview

We are a medical technology company focused on the design, development, and advancement of technology for better surgical treatment of spinal disorders. We are dedicated to revolutionizing the approach to spine surgery through clinical distinction. We are focused on developing new approaches that integrate seamlessly with our expanding Alpha InformatiX™ product platform to better inform surgery and to achieve the goals of spine surgery more safely and reproducibly. We have a broad product portfolio designed to address the spine’s various pathologies. Our ultimate vision is to be the standard bearer in spine.

We intend to drive growth by capitalizing on our collective spine experience and investing in the research and development to continually differentiate our solutions and improve spine surgery. We believe our future success will be fueled by introducing market-shifting innovation to the spine market, and that we are well-positioned to capitalize on current spine market dynamics.

We market and sell our products through a network of independent distributors and direct sales representatives. An objective of our leadership team is to deliver increasingly consistent, predictable growth. To accomplish this, we have partnered more closely with new and existing distributors to create a more dedicated and loyal sales channel for the future. We have added, and intend to continue to add, new high-quality exclusive and dedicated distributors and direct sales representatives to expand future growth. We believe this will allow us to reach an untapped market of surgeons, hospitals, and national accounts across the United States and internationally, as well as better penetrate existing accounts and territories.

Revenue and Expense Components

The following is a description of the primary components of our revenue and expenses:

Revenue. We derive our revenue primarily from the sale of spinal surgery implants used in the treatment of spine disorders as well as the sale of medical imaging equipment which is used for surgical planning and post-operative assessment. Spinal implant products include pedicle screws and complementary implants, interbody devices, plates, and tissue-based materials. Medical imaging equipment includes our EOS full-body and weight-bearing x-ray imaging devices, and related services. Our revenue is generated by our direct sales force and independent distributors. Our products are shipped and invoiced to hospitals and surgical centers. Currently, most of our business is conducted with customers within markets in which we have experience and with payment terms that are customary to our business. We may defer revenue until the time of collection if circumstances related to payment terms, regional market risk or customer history indicate that collectability is not certain.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales consists primarily of direct product costs, royalties, service labor hours, and parts. Our product costs consist primarily of raw materials, component parts, direct labor, and overhead. The product costs of certain of our biologics products include the cost of procuring and processing human tissue. We incur royalties related to the technologies that we license from others and the products that are developed in part by surgeons with whom we collaborate in the product development process.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses consist of costs associated with the design, development, testing, and enhancement of our products. Research and development expenses also include salaries and related employee benefits, research-related overhead expenses, fees paid to external service providers and development consultants in the form of both cash and equity.

Sales, general and administrative expenses. Sales, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related employee benefits, sales commissions and other variable costs, depreciation of our surgical instruments, regulatory affairs, quality assurance costs, professional service fees, travel, medical education, trade show and marketing costs, and insurance.

26


Table of Contents

 

Litigation-related expenses. Litigation-related expenses are costs incurred for our ongoing litigation, primarily with NuVasive, Inc.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of intangible assets acquired in business combinations and asset purchases.

Transaction-related expenses. Transaction-related expenses are certain costs incurred related primarily to the acquisition and integration of EOS.

Restructuring expenses. Restructuring expenses are costs incurred related primarily to severance, social plan benefits and related taxes in connection with cost rationalization efforts, as well as costs associated with the opening or closing of office and warehouse facilities.

Total interest and other expense, net. Total interest and other expense, net includes interest income, interest expense, gains and losses from foreign currency exchanges and other non-operating gains and losses.

Income tax provision. Income tax provision primarily consists of an estimate of federal, state, and foreign income taxes based on enacted state, and foreign tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in tax laws.  

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, allowances for accounts receivable, inventories, intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumption conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that, in management’s view, are most important in the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. Management believes there have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2022, to the critical accounting policies discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC.

Research and development expense, excluding EOS, accounted for approximately $2.8 million, or 72%, of the increase during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel to support the expansion of our new product portfolio.

 

Sales, general and administrative expenses. Sales, general and administrative expenses associated with EOS accounted for approximately $2.9 million, or 10%, of the total increase for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. Sales, general and administrative expenses, excluding EOS, accounted for approximately $26.1 million, or 90%, of the increase during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation-related costs and variable selling expenses associated with the increase in revenue, and our continued investment in building our strategic distribution channel. Additionally, we have increased our investment in our sales and marketing functions by increasing headcount to support the growth of our business, as well as necessary administrative support.

Litigation-related expenses. Litigation expenses increased by $4.2 million, or 126%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. Litigation expense is primarily related to our ongoing litigation with NuVasive, Inc. and other legal activities.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets. The increase in amortization of acquired intangible assets is primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the EOS acquisition.

Transaction-related expenses. The decrease in transaction-related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, is primarily due to the closing of the EOS acquisition on May 13, 2021.

Restructuring expenses. The increase in restructuring costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022, is due to severance, social plan benefits and related taxes in connection with cost rationalization efforts.

The decrease in other expense, net, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to foreign currency losses related to the forward contract settlement and the net loss on debt extinguishment associated with the early payoff of the term loan and the PPP loan forgiveness, which were non-recurring expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in interest expense, net, was primarily due lower interest rates on the 2026 Notes compared to the Term Loan that was repaid in full during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash from operations. Our liquidity and capital structure are evaluated regularly within the context of our annual operating and strategic planning process. We consider the liquidity necessary to fund our operations, which include working capital needs, investments in research and development, investments in inventory and instrument sets to support our customers, as well as other operating costs. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales, marketing and administrative activities, and the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products. As current borrowing sources become due, we may be required to access the capital markets for additional funding. If we are required to access the debt market, we expect to be able to secure reasonable borrowing rates.

Cash and cash equivalents were $151.8 million and $187.2 million at March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. We believe that our existing funds, cash generated from our operations and our existing sources of and access to financing are adequate to satisfy our needs for working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements, and other business initiatives we plan to strategically pursue.

Table of Contents

 

Investing Activities

We used cash of $13.4 million in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which is primarily related to the purchase of surgical instruments to support the commercial launch of new products and growth of our business.

Financing Activities

Financing activities provided $2.7 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which is related to proceeds from financed insurance and proceeds from warrant exercises.

Debt and Commitments

 

As of March 31, 2022, we had $316.3 million outstanding under the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 0.75%, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. Prior to maturity in August 2026, the holders of the 2026 Notes may, under certain circumstances, choose to convert their notes into shares of our common stock. Based on the terms we have the option to pay or deliver cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, when a conversion notice is received.

 

We assumed the OCEANE convertible bonds issued by EOS in connection with our acquisition of EOS. The OCEANEs bear interest at 6% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 31 and November 30 of each year. Unless either earlier converted or repurchased, the outstanding OCEANEs of $13.9 million (€12.5 million) will mature on May 31, 2023.

We also assumed $5.2 million (€4.8 million) in other debts with the acquisition of EOS that are due in monthly and quarterly installments beginning in 2023 through maturity in 2027.

As of March 31, 2022, we have made $50.1 million in Orthotec settlement payments and there remains an outstanding balance of $7.7 million in Orthotec settlement payments (including imputed interest) to be paid by us.

With the acquisition of EOS, we assumed its inventory purchase commitment agreement with a third-party supplier. We are obligated to certain minimum purchase commitment requirements through December 2026. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining minimum purchase commitment under the agreement was $32.4 million.

Contractual obligations and commercial commitments

As of March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes, outside the normal course of business, in our outstanding contractual obligations from those disclosed within the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Real Property Leases

On April 9, 2021, we entered into a 7-year operating lease agreement for a distribution center which consists of approximately 75,643 square feet of office and warehouse space in Memphis, Tennessee. The term of the lease commenced on May 1, 2021, and will terminate on May 1, 2028, subject to two thirty-six-month options to renew. Base rent under the building lease will be commensurate with our proportionate share of occupancy of the building and will increase annually by 3.0% throughout the remainder of the lease.

With the acquisition of EOS, we assumed its right-of-use assets and leases liabilities in the amount of $4.3 million. EOS occupies its main office in Paris, France. The EOS office in Paris, France is an operating lease that commenced in 2019 and will terminate in September 2028.

On December 4, 2019, we entered into a lease agreement for our headquarters location which consists of 121,541 square feet of office, engineering, and research and development space in Carlsbad, California. The term of the lease commenced on February 1, 2021, and will terminate January 31, 2031, subject to two sixty-month options to renew. Base rent under the lease increases annually by 3.0% throughout the remainder of the lease.

Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions and/or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors mentioned in our discussion in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be important in determining future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially from expected results.

We also provide a cautionary discussion of risks and uncertainties under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and any updates to those risk factors filed from time to time in our subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC. These are factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results. Other factors besides those listed there could also adversely affect us.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have evaluated the information required under this item that was disclosed under Item 7A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and there have been no significant changes to this information.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time lines specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in SEC Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e)) as of March 31, 2022. Based on such evaluation, our management has concluded that as of March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We are in the process of implementing a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system that affects many of our financial processes and is expected to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of certain financial and business transaction processes, as well as the underlying systems environment. There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Due to the timing of our acquisition of EOS, the internal control over financial reporting of the acquired company and its subsidiaries, including the portion of disclosure controls and procedures that related to internal control over financial reporting, was excluded from the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the period covered by this report. This exclusion is in accordance with the general guidance issued by the Staff of the SEC that an assessment of a recent business combination may be omitted from management's report on internal control over financial reporting in the first twelve months of consolidation.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Litigation

We are and may become involved in various legal proceedings arising from our business activities. While the Company has no material accruals for pending litigation or claims for which accrual amounts are not disclosed in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and depending on the nature and timing of a proceeding, an unfavorable resolution could materially affect our future condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period. We assess contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual or disclosure in our condensed consolidated financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in our condensed consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating contingencies, we may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against us may be unsupported, exaggerated or unrelated to reasonably possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of our potential liability.

Refer to Note 10 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1, Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding the NuVasive, Inc. litigation.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors described under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2022, except for those noted below:

The United States has recently experienced historically high levels of inflation. If the inflation rate continues to increase, such as increases in the costs of labor and supplies, it will likely affect our expenses. Additionally, the United States is experiencing an acute workforce shortage, which in turn, has created a hyper-competitive wage environment that may increase our operating costs. To the extent inflation results in rising interest rates and has other adverse effects on the market, it may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued unregistered equity securities as described below:

On February 1, 2022, the Company issued 50,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock with a grant date fair value of $10.33, based on the market price of common stock on grant date, to a consultant for consulting services rendered to the Company. The restrictions applicable to the shares will expire if the consultant’s engagement with the Company continues through June 30, 2022.

On each of January 20, 2022, February 22, 2022, and March 17, 2022, the Company issued 10,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock with a grant date fair values of $10.61, $9.59 and $10.94, respectively, based on the market price of common stock on grant dates, to an independent distributor for distribution and related services rendered to the Company.

On each of January 5, 2022 and March 23, 2022, the Company issued 10,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock with a grant date fair values of $11.65 and $10.45, respectively, based on the market price of common stock on grant dates, to an independent distributor for distribution and related services rendered to the Company.

The issuances of the foregoing securities were made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as there was no general solicitation and the transactions did not involve a public offering.
