NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company

BIOLASE, Inc. (“BIOLASE” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a leading provider of advanced laser systems for the dental industry. The Company develops, manufactures, markets, and sells laser systems that provide significant benefits for dental practitioners and their patients. The Company’s proprietary systems allow dentists, periodontists, endodontists, pediatric dentists, oral surgeons, and other dental specialists to perform a broad range of minimally invasive dental procedures, including cosmetic, restorative, and complex surgical applications. The Company’s laser systems are designed to provide clinically superior results for many types of dental procedures compared to those achieved with drills, scalpels, and other conventional instruments. Potential patient benefits include less pain, fewer shots, faster healing, decreased fear and anxiety, and fewer appointments. Potential practitioner benefits include improved patient care and the ability to perform a higher volume and wider variety of procedures and generate more patient referrals.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BIOLASE and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared on a basis consistent with the December 31, 2021 audited consolidated financial statements and include all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and the elimination of all material intercompany transactions and balances, necessary to fairly present the information set forth therein. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the footnotes, presentations, and disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, included in BIOLASE’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 17, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

Except as the context otherwise requires, all common stock share numbers, share price amounts (including exercise prices, conversion prices, and closing market prices), and warrant numbers contained in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto reflect the one-for-25 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) effectuated by the Company on April 28, 2022. See Note 15 below for additional details.

Liquidity and Management’s Plans

The Company incurred losses from operations and used cash in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had working capital of approximately $30.7 million. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2022 consisted of approximately $21.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $5.2 million of net accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of approximately $35.5 million, $30.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4.2 million of net accounts receivable. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents since December 31, 2021 was primarily due to a net loss of $4.8 million and net decreases in operating assets and liabilities of $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Additional capital requirements may depend on many factors, including, among other things, the rate at which the Company’s business grows, the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken to contain it, demands for working capital, manufacturing capacity, and any acquisitions that the Company may pursue. From time to time, the Company could be required, or may otherwise attempt, to raise capital through either equity or debt offerings. The Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to successfully enter into any such equity or debt financings in the future or that the required capital would be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that any such financing activity would not be dilutive to its’ stockholders.

COVID-19 Risk and Uncertainties

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted global economic activity, and many countries and many states in the United States have reacted to the pandemic by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. These mandated business closures included dental office closures worldwide, in large part, for all but emergency procedures. As these quarantines and restrictions began to be lifted in 2021, the Company's sales began to return to pre-pandemic levels. However, there are

still uncertainties regarding the ongoing and future effects of COVID-19, and there is no assurance that the Company's sales will not be further impacted in 2022 or at any time thereafter.

Cyber Incident

In December 2021, the Company experienced a cybersecurity attack that caused a brief network disruption and impacted certain systems. Upon detection, the Company took immediate steps to address the incident, engaged third-party experts, and notified law enforcement. The Company has taken actions to strengthen its existing systems and implement additional prevention measures. The Company will continue to monitor and assess as needed. All liabilities were fully insured, and as of December 31, 2021 the Company recorded an accrued liability and an insurance receivable within prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.4 million. In March 2022 the Company received the cash reimbursement from its insurance provider.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements include allowances on accounts receivable, inventory, and deferred taxes, as well as estimates for accrued warranty expenses, goodwill and the ability of goodwill to be realized, revenue deferrals, effects of stock-based compensation and warrants, contingent liabilities, and the provision or benefit for income taxes. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ materially from those estimates.

Critical Accounting Policies

Information with respect to the Company’s critical accounting policies, which management believes could have the most significant effect on the Company’s reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management as discussed in the Company’s 2021 audited financial statements included in the 2021 Form 10-K. Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2022 in the Company’s critical accounting policies from those disclosed in the Company’s 2021 audited financial statements included in the 2021 Form 10-K.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market (or, if none exists, the most advantageous market) for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (referred to as the “exit price”). The fair value is based on assumptions that market participants would use, including a consideration of non-performance risk. Under the accounting guidance for fair value hierarchy, there are three levels of measurement inputs. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable due to little or no corroborating market data.

The Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and the SWK Loan (as defined below) as discussed in Note 9 – Debt, approximate fair value because of the relative short maturity of these items and the market interest rates the Company could obtain.

Concentration of Credit Risk, Interest Rate Risk and Foreign Currency Exchange Rate

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with established commercial banks. At times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. To minimize the risk associated with trade accounts receivable, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition and maintains relationships with the Company’s customers that allow management to monitor current changes in business operations so the Company can respond as needed. The Company does not, generally, require customers to provide collateral before it sells them its products. However, the Company has required certain distributors to make prepayments for significant purchases of products.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars, including sales to international distributors. Only a small portion of its revenue and expenses is denominated in foreign currencies, principally the Euro and Indian Rupee. The Company’s foreign currency expenditures primarily consist of the cost of maintaining offices, consulting services, and employee-related costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company did not enter into any hedging

contracts. Future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar may affect the price competitiveness of the Company’s products outside the U.S.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined not to be applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock and amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related earnings per share guidance. This standard became effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2022. Adoption is either a modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method of transition. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2022, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This ASU clarifies the accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (i.e. warrants) so that the transaction should be treated as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2022, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard’s main goal is to improve financial reporting by requiring earlier recognition of credit losses on financing receivables and other financial assets in scope and to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3—REVENUE RECOGNITION

Contracts with Customers

Revenue for sales of products and services is derived from contracts with customers. The products and services promised in customer contracts include delivery of laser systems, imaging systems, and consumables as well as certain ancillary services such as training and extended warranties. Contracts with each customer generally state the terms of the sale, including the description, quantity and price of each product or service. Payment terms are stated in the contract and vary according to the arrangement. Because the customer typically agrees to a stated rate and price in the contract that does not vary over the life of the contract, the Company’s contracts do not contain variable consideration. The Company establishes a provision for estimated warranty expense.

Performance Obligations

At contract inception, the Company assesses the products and services promised in its contracts with customers. The Company then identifies performance obligations to transfer distinct products or services to the customers. In order to identify performance obligations, the Company considers all of the products or services promised in contracts regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices.

Revenue from products and services transferred to customers at a single point in time accounted for 89% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 88% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. The majority of the Company’s revenue recognized at a point in time is for the sale of laser systems and consumables. Revenue from these contracts is recognized when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits from the product which generally coincides with title transfer during the shipping process.

Revenue from services transferred to customers over time accounted for 11% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 12% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. The majority of the Company’s revenue that is recognized over time relates to product training and extended warranties. Deferred revenue attributable to undelivered elements, which primarily consists of product training, totaled approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Transaction Price Allocation

The transaction price for a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, each performance obligation is satisfied. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in a contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the observable price when the good or service is sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers.

Significant Judgments

Revenue is recorded for extended warranties over time as the customer benefits from the warranty coverage. This revenue will be recognized equally throughout the contract period as the customer receives benefits from the Company's promise to provide such services. Revenue is recorded for product training as the customer attends a training program or upon the expiration of the obligation, which is generally after nine months.

The Company also has contracts that include both the product sales and product training as performance obligations. In those cases, the Company records revenue for product sales at the point in time when the product has been shipped. The customer obtains control of the product when it is shipped, as all shipments are made FOB shipping point, and after the customer selects its shipping method and pays all shipping costs and insurance. The Company has concluded that control is transferred to the customer upon shipment.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an analysis of customer accounts and the Company’s historical experience with accounts receivable write-offs.

Contract Liabilities

The Company performs its obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and/or services in exchange for consideration from the customer. The Company typically invoices its customers as soon as control of an asset is transferred and a receivable for the Company is established. The Company, however, recognizes a contract liability when a customer prepays for goods and/or services, and the Company has not transferred control of the goods and/or services. The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities are as follows (in thousands):


	March 31,			December 31,
	2022			2021
Undelivered elements (training, installation, product and support services)	$	913		$	835
Extended warranty contracts		1,832			1,753
Total deferred revenue		2,745			2,588
Less: long-term portion of deferred revenue		(303	)		(329	)
Deferred revenue — current	$	2,442		$	2,259

The balance of contract assets was immaterial as the Company did not have a significant amount of uninvoiced receivables at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 that was included in the opening contract liability balance related to undelivered elements was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The amounts related to extended warranty contracts was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into geographical regions and by the timing of when goods and services are transferred. The Company determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by regional economic factors.

The Company’s revenues related to the following geographic areas were as follows (in thousands):

For shipments to distributors, the distributor bears the shipping and freight costs, including insurance, tariffs and other import/export costs.

NOTE 4—REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

BIOLASE's board of directors (the "Board"), without further stockholder authorization, may authorize the issuance from time to time of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock. Of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, as of March 31, 2022, 180,000 shares were designated as Series G, par value $0.001 per share (“Series G Preferred Stock”) and as of March 31, 2021 18,000 shares were designated as Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series F Preferred Stock”).

Preferred Stock

Series G Preferred Stock

On March 1, 2022, the Board declared a dividend of one one-thousandth of a share of Series G Preferred Stock per share of BIOLASE common stock outstanding as of March 25, 2022 (as calculated on a pre-Reverse Stock Split basis). The certificate of designation for the Series G Preferred Stock provided that all shares of Series G Preferred Stock not present in person or by proxy at the 2022 annual meeting of BIOLASE stockholders (the “2022 Annual Meeting”) immediately prior to the opening of the polls at the 2022 Annual Meeting would be automatically redeemed (the “Initial Redemption”) and that any outstanding shares of Series G

Preferred Stock that have not been redeemed pursuant to the Initial Redemption would be redeemed in whole, but not in part, (i) if and when ordered by the Board or (ii) automatically upon the effectiveness of the amendment to BIOLASE’s certificate of incorporation effecting the reverse stock split that was subject to the vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting (the “Subsequent Redemption”).

Series F Convertible Preferred Stock

On July 23, 2020, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 18,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock and 1,800,000 warrants (the “July 2020 Warrants”), with each warrant exercisable for one share of BIOLASE common stock, through a registered rights offering the Company completed on July 22, 2020 (the “Rights Offering”). Each share of Series F Preferred Stock was convertible at the Company’s option at any time on or after July 22, 2021 or at the option of the holder at any time, into the number of shares of BIOLASE common stock determined by dividing the $1,000 stated value per share of the Series F Preferred Stock by a conversion price of $10.00 per share. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock was convertible into 100 shares of common stock, and each July 2020 Warrant entitled the holder thereof to purchase one share BIOLASE common stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share.

In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the $18.0 million gross proceeds from the Rights Offering were allocated to the Series F Preferred Stock and the July 2020 Warrants in the amount of $2.7 million and $15.3 million, respectively. The allocation was based on the fair value of the July 2020 Warrants of $15.3 million as of the commitment date, with the residual proceeds of $2.7 million allocated to the Series F Preferred Stock.

The Series F Preferred Stock contained a beneficial conversion feature which resulted in a deemed dividend to preferred stockholders of approximately $2.7 million, upon immediate accretion. Additionally, the July 2020 Warrants were recognized as a discount to the Series F Preferred Stock. Upon conversion, including the conversion described below, this discount was accreted and also recognized as a deemed dividend to preferred stockholders in the amount of $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The remaining shares of Series F Preferred Stock were converted into shares of BIOLASE common stock in the first quarter of 2022 with none outstanding as of March 31, 2022. Approximately 251 shares of Series F Preferred Stock remained outstanding as of December 31, 2021. On March 3, 2022 the Series F Preferred Stock was eliminated.

Stock-Based Compensation

2002 Stock Incentive Plan

The 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended effective as of May 26, 2004, November 15, 2005, May 16, 2007, May 5, 2011, June 6, 2013, October 30, 2014, April 27, 2015, and May 6, 2017, the “2002 Plan”) was replaced by the 2018 Plan (as defined below) with respect to future equity awards. Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2002 Plan included officers, employees, directors of the Company, and consultants to the Company. As of March 31, 2022, a total of 124,400 shares have been authorized for issuance under the 2002 Plan, of which approximately 41,000 shares of BIOLASE common stock have been issued pursuant to options that were exercised and restricted stock units ("RSUs") that were vested, approximately 24,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for options that are outstanding, and no shares of common stock remain available for future grants.

2018 Stock Incentive Plan

At the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended effective as of September 21, 2018, May 15, 2019, May 13, 2020, and June 11, 2021, the “2018 Plan”). The purposes of the 2018 Plan are (i) to align the interests of the Company’s stockholders and recipients of awards under the 2018 Plan by increasing the proprietary interest of such recipients in the Company’s growth and success; (ii) to advance the interests of the Company by attracting and retaining non-employee directors, officers, other employees, consultants, independent contractors, and agents; and (iii) to motivate such persons to act in the long-term best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Under the terms of the 2018 Plan, approximately 971,000 shares of BIOLASE common stock are available for issuance; however, because the increase in the number of authorized shares under the certificate of incorporation was not approved by stockholders at the 2021 annual meeting, only approximately 85,000 shares are available for future grants as of March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, a total of 1.5 million shares of common stock have been authorized for issuance under the 2018 Plan, of which approximately 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options and/or settlement of unvested RSUs under the 2018 Plan.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had approximately $0.8

million and $0.7 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements. The Company expects that expense to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, none of the total stock compensation cost related to performance-based awards was recognized as a liability.

Warrants

The Company issues warrants to acquire shares of BIOLASE common stock as approved by the Board.

Western Alliance Warrants

On March 6, 2018, in connection with the execution of a business financing agreement with Western Alliance Bank ("Western Alliance"), the Company issued to Western Alliance warrants (the “Original Western Alliance Warrants”) to purchase up to the number of shares of common stock equal to $120,000 divided by the applicable exercise price at the time such warrants are exercised. The Original Western Alliance Warrants are fully vested and exercisable. The Original Western Alliance Warrants may be exercised with a cash payment from Western Alliance, or, in lieu of a cash payment, Western Alliance may convert the warrants into a number of shares, in whole or in part. The initial exercise price of the warrants was $58.75 per share. On September 27, 2018, the Company entered into the Second Modification Agreement to amend the Original Business Financing Agreement. In connection with the Second Modification Agreement, the Original Western Alliance Warrants were terminated, and the Company issued new warrants (the “Western Alliance Warrants”) to purchase up to the number of shares of common stock equal to $120,000 divided by the exercise price of $53.25, which was the closing price of BIOLASE common stock on September 27, 2018 (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split). The Western Alliance Warrants were immediately exercisable and expire on September 27, 2028. These warrants contain down-round features that require the Company to adjust the exercise price proportionately should the Company issue shares at a price per share less than the exercise price. The sale of common stock in the second quarter of 2020 triggered an adjustment to the exercise price to approximately $15.00 per share. The impact of the adjustment to the exercise price was not material.

SWK Warrants

On November 9, 2018, in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company issued to SWK warrants (the "SWK Warrants") to purchase up to 14,881 shares of BIOLASE common stock. The SWK Warrants were immediately exercisable and expire on November 9, 2026. The initial exercise price of the SWK Warrants was $33.50 per share, which was the average closing price of BIOLASE common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding November 9, 2018 (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split). These warrants contain down-round features that require the Company to adjust the exercise price proportionately should the Company issue shares at a price per share less than the exercise price. The fair value of the SWK Warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected term of 8 years; volatility of 81.79%; annual dividend per share of $0.00; and risk-free interest rate of 3.13%; and resulted in an estimated fair value of $0.4 million.

In November 2019, these warrants were consolidated and the exercise price was adjusted to $25.00 per share in connection with an amendment to the Credit Agreement, and in March 2020, the exercise price was adjusted a second time to $12.25. The impact of both reprice events was de minimis to the consolidated financial statements. In connection with the Fifth Amendment, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the SWK Warrant Agreement. Under this amendment, the Company granted to SWK 2,551 additional common stock warrants at an exercise price of approximately $9.75. All other terms and conditions to the additional warrants were the same as those previously granted. The Company also revised the exercise price of the 19,488 common stock warrants held by SWK to $9.75. The Company measured the fair value of the 2,551 warrants granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the additional warrants and the aggregate impact of the exercise price adjustments in previous amendments to the Warrant Agreement were less than $0.1 million and not material to the consolidated financial statements. Due to the repricing that occurred in the second quarter of 2020, the down round features of these warrants was not triggered by the Company’s June 2020 sale of common stock.

DPG Warrants

On November 14, 2018, in connection with the SWK Loan, the Company paid a finder’s fee to Deal Partners Group ("DPG") of $0.4 million cash and issued warrants to purchase up to 11,194 shares of BIOLASE common stock (the “DPG Warrants”). The DPG Warrants were exercisable immediately, and expire on November 9, 2026. The initial exercise price of the DPG Warrants was $33.50, which was the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding November 9, 2018 (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split). These warrants contain down-round features that require the Company to adjust the exercise price proportionately should the Company issue shares at a price per share less than the exercise price. The fair value of the DPG Warrants of $0.3 million was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected term of 8 years; volatility of 81.79%; annual dividend per share of $0.00; and risk-free interest rate of 3.13%. In May 2019 the Company issued 5,989 warrants to purchase common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $54.25 to SWK and DPG.

In November 2019, the exercise price of the DPG Warrants issued on November 14, 2018 was adjusted from $33.50 per share to $22.00 per share and the exercise price of the DPG Warrants issued on May 7, 2019 was adjusted from $54.25 per share to $35.50 per share. The impact of the reprice was de minimis to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The June 2020 sale of common stock triggered the down round features of these warrants, and in August 2020, the Company adjusted the exercise price of these warrants to $15.50 and $9.50 per share. The impact of this reprice was not material.

The value of both the SWK Warrants and the DPG Warrants was recognized as a discount on the SWK Loan and is being amortized on a straight-line basis which approximates the effective-interest method, over the loan term of five years. Additionally, based on the adoption of ASU 2017-11 in the fourth quarter of 2018, these warrants are classified as equity in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

A summary of warrant activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is as follows (in thousands, except exercise price amounts):

Phantom Awards and Stock Appreciation Rights

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued approximately 11,000 phantom RSUs in lieu of stock-settled RSUs historically granted for leadership bonuses and non-employee director service. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued approximately 400,000 phantom RSUs. The phantom RSUs have either time-based or performance-based vesting conditions and could be settled in cash in 2024 with the Company's option to settle the award in BIOLASE common stock at the sole discretion of the Board. These phantom RSUs are included as a component of long-term liability on the consolidated balance sheet and are not considered stock-based compensation due to the cash-settlement feature of the award and limitation on the number of

remaining shares authorized for issuance as of March 31, 2022. If at any time the determination is made to settle the phantom RSUs in BIOLASE common stock, the awards will be included as a component of additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $0.1 million and is included in long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet with a balance of $0.3 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued approximately 40,000 stock appreciation rights ("SARs") in lieu of stock-settled RSUs historically granted for non-employee director service. Upon exercise, the SARs could be settled in cash with the Company's option to settle in BIOLASE common stock at the sole discretion of the Board. These SARS are included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and are not considered stock-based compensation due to the cash-settlement feature of the award and limitation on the number of remaining shares authorized for issuance as of March 31, 2022. If at any time the determination is made to settle in BIOLASE common stock, the awards will be included as a component of additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $0.2 million and is included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet with a balance of $0.5 million and $0.3 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Net Loss Per Share – Basic and Diluted

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of BIOLASE common stock outstanding for the period. In computing diluted net loss per share, the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding is adjusted to reflect the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Net income (loss) is adjusted for any deemed dividends to preferred stockholders to compute net income attributable to common stockholders.

Outstanding stock options, RSUs, and warrants to purchase approximately 0.9 million and 2.7 million shares were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share amounts for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Also excluded in the calculation of diluted loss per share amount for the three months ended March 31, 2021, are the 670,000 shares of BIOLASE common stock issuable upon conversion of the 268 shares of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2021.

NOTE 7—INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

The Company conducted its annual impairment test of goodwill as of September 30, 2021 and determined that there was no impairment. The Company also tests its intangible assets and goodwill between the annual impairment tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company or its assets below their carrying amounts. For intangible assets subject to amortization, the Company performs its impairment test when indicators, such as reductions in demand or significant economic slowdowns, are present. No events have occurred since September 30, 2021 through the date of these unaudited consolidated financial statements that would trigger further impairment testing of the Company’s intangible assets and goodwill.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had goodwill of $2.9 million. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all intangible assets have been fully amortized and no amortization expense was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Term Loan

On November 9, 2018, the Company entered into a five-year secured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with SWK Funding LLC (“SWK”), pursuant to which the Company has borrowed $14.3 million (“SWK Loan”) as of March 31, 2022. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement and subsequent amendments as discussed in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K, repayment of the SWK Loan is interest-only through May 2023, paid quarterly with the option to extend the interest-only period. Principal repayments begin in May 2023 and will be approximately $0.7 million quarterly until the SWK Loan matures in May 2025. The loan bears interest of 9% plus a LIBOR floor of 1.25% or another index that approximates LIBOR as close as possible if and when LIBOR no longer exists.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with debt covenants of the Credit Agreement.

EIDL Loan

On May 22, 2020, the Company executed the standard loan documents required for securing a loan (the “EIDL Loan”) from the SBA under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. The principal amount of the EIDL Loan is $150,000, with proceeds to be used for working capital purposes. Interest on the EIDL Loan accrues at the rate of 3.75%, per annum and installment payments, including principal and interest, are due monthly beginning in July 2021 and are payable through July 2050. In April 2021, the SBA announced that it was extending the first payment due date for all loans until 2022, or 24 months from the loan execution date. In March 2022, the SBA announced that it was extending the first payment due date for all loans an additional six months, or 30 months from the loan execution date. The Company is obligated to begin making payments on the EIDL Loan starting in November 2022. Fixed payments are first applied to any accrued interest.

Pacific Mercantile Bank

On October 28, 2019, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Pacific Mercantile Bank, as lender (“PMB”), which provides for a revolving line of credit (the “PMB Loan”) in a maximum principal amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) $3 million or (ii) the sum of 90% of the Eligible Accounts (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus 75% of the Eligible Inventory (as defined in the Loan Agreement, and subject to certain limitations set forth therein); provided that the maximum principal amount of the PMB Loan may be reduced from time to time in PMB’s good faith business judgment as set forth in the Loan Agreement. Borrowings under the PMB Loan may be used for working capital. The PMB Loan matured on October 28, 2021

As of March 31, 2021 the Company had no borrowings outstanding and unused availability under the PMB Loan of approximately $2.2.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 14, 2020, we were granted a loan (the “PPP Loan”) under the Paycheck Protection Program from PMB in the aggregate amount of $2,980,000, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act.

The PPP Loan, which was in the form of a note dated April 13, 2020 issued by BIOLASE, had a maturity date of April 13, 2022 and bore interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Interest was payable monthly commencing on November 1, 2020. Funds from the PPP Loan could only be used for payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt obligations incurred before February 15, 2020. Under the terms of the PPP Loan, certain amounts of the PPP Loan could be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act.

During 2020, the Company requested forgiveness in accordance with the application requirements.

In June 2021, the Company received a reply to its request, and the PPP Loan along with all accrued interest was forgiven by the SBA. The amount of loan forgiveness is presented as a component of non-operating (gain) loss on the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. The SBA may undertake a review of a loan of any size during the six-year period following forgiveness of the loan. The review may include the loan forgiveness application, as well as whether the Company received the proper loan amount. There can be no assurance as to the result of any such SBA review.

NOTE 11—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On April 24, 2012, CAO Group, Inc. (“CAO”) filed a lawsuit against BIOLASE in the District of Utah alleging that BIOLASE’s ezlase dental laser infringes on U.S. Patent No. 7,485,116 (the “116 Patent”). On September 9, 2012, CAO amended its complaint, adding claims for (1) business disparagement/injurious falsehood under common law and (2) unfair competition under 15 U.S.C. Section 1125(a). The additional claims stemmed from a press release that BIOLASE issued on April 30, 2012, which CAO claimed contained false statements that were disparaging to CAO and its diode product. The amended complaint sought injunctive relief, treble damages, attorneys’ fees, punitive damages, and interest. Until January 24, 2018, this lawsuit was stayed in connection with United States Patent and Trademark Office proceedings relating to the 116 Patent, which proceedings ultimately culminated in a January 27, 2017 decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, affirming the findings of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, which were generally favorable to the Company. On January 25, 2018, CAO moved for leave to file a second amended complaint to add certain claims, which filing the Company did not oppose.

On January 23, 2018, CAO filed a lawsuit against BIOLASE in the Central District of California alleging that BIOLASE’s diode lasers infringe on U.S. Patent Nos. 8,337,097, 8,834,497, 8,961,040 and 8,967,883. The complaint sought injunctive relief, treble damages, attorneys’ fees, punitive damages, and interest.

On January 25, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), BIOLASE entered into a settlement agreement (the “CAO Settlement Agreement”) with CAO. Pursuant to the CAO Settlement Agreement, CAO agreed to dismiss with prejudice the lawsuits filed by CAO against the Company in April 2012 and January 2018. In addition, CAO granted to the Company and its affiliates a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as provided in the CAO Settlement Agreement), royalty-free, fully-paid, worldwide license to the licensed patents for use in the licensed products and agreed not to sue the Company, its affiliates or any of its manufacturers, distributors, suppliers or customers for use of the licensed patents in the licensed products, and the parties agreed to a mutual release of claims. The Company agreed (i) to pay to CAO, within five days of the Effective Date, $500,000 in cash, (ii) to issue to CAO, within 30 days of the Effective Date, 20,000 restricted shares of BIOLASE common stock (the “Stock Consideration”), and (iii) to pay to CAO, within 30 days of December 31, 2021, an amount in cash equal to the difference (if positive) between $1,000,000 and the value of the Stock Consideration on December 31, 2021. The Stock Consideration vested and became transferrable on December 31, 2021, subject to the terms of a restricted stock agreement entered into between the parties. The Company considered this a Type I subsequent event and recognized a $1.5 million contingent loss on patent litigation settlement in its consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. In January 2019, the Company paid CAO $500,000 in cash. On January 31, 2019, the case was dismissed with prejudice. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded an additional loss on patent litigation of $0.2 million which represented the change in fair value of the restricted stock to be issued to CAO at March 31, 2019. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, the Company reversed the additional loss commensurate with the fluctuations in the Company’s share price. In August 2020, the Company signed a Letter Agreement to terminate the Manufacturing Agreement and purchase from CAO raw materials and other inventory held by CAO as part of the original CAO Settlement Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an additional loss on patent litigation of $0.3 million which represented the change in fair value of the liability to be paid to CAO.

In February 2021, the Company issued 20,000 restricted shares of common stock in satisfaction of its obligation to issue the Stock Consideration to CAO under the CAO Settlement Agreement and reduced the accrued liability to $0.6 million. As of December 31, 2021, the remaining accrued liability related to the CAO Settlement Agreement was included in current accrued liabilities in the amount of $0.8 million. In January 2022, the Company paid all amounts due to CAO and removed the liability.

NOTE 12—SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company currently operates in a single business segment. Management uses one measurement of profitability and does not segregate its business for internal reporting. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, sales to customers in the United States accounted for approximately 69% of net revenue and international sales accounted for approximately 31% of net revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, sales to customers in the United States accounted for approximately 64% of net revenue and international sales accounted for approximately 36% of net revenue. No individual country, other than the United States, represented more than 10% of total net revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021.

No individual customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021.

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in money market investment accounts with established commercial banks. Such cash deposits periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

No individual customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Company currently purchases certain key components of its products from single suppliers. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers of these key components, management believes that other suppliers could provide similar key components on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause delays in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

NOTE 14—INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Management evaluates the need to establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based upon the amount of existing temporary differences, the period in which they are expected to be recovered, and expected levels of taxable income. A valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets is established when it is “more likely than not” that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on the Company’s net losses in prior years, management has determined that a full valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax assets is appropriate.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties as a component of its income tax provision. With respect to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including related estimates of penalties and interest, the Company did not record a liability for unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company does not expect any changes to its unrecognized tax benefit for the next 12 months that would materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $17,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.4%. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $60,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.9%. The income tax provisions and benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were calculated using the discrete year-to-date method. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the existence of valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and current liabilities resulting from the estimated state income tax liabilities and foreign tax liability.

NOTE 15—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 28, 2022, both the Initial Redemption and the Subsequent Redemption occurred. As a result, no shares of Series G Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

At the 2022 Annual Meeting, BIOLASE stockholders approved an amendment to BIOLASE’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of BIOLASE common stock, at a ratio ranging from one-for-two (1:2) to one-for-twenty-five (1:25), with the final ratio to be determined by the Board. Immediately after the 2022 Annual Meeting, the Board approved a one-for-twenty-five (1:25) reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of BIOLASE common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On April 28, 2022, BIOLASE filed an amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split, effective as of 11:59 p.m. on April 28, 2022. The Amendment did not change the authorized shares of common stock.

Overview

BIOLASE, Inc. (“BIOLASE” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a leading provider of advanced laser systems for the dental industry. We develop, manufacture, market, and sell laser systems that provide significant benefits for dental practitioners and their patients. Our proprietary systems allow dentists, periodontists, endodontists, oral surgeons, and other dental specialists to perform a broad range of minimally invasive dental procedures, including cosmetic, restorative, and complex surgical applications. Our laser systems are designed to provide clinically superior results for many types of dental procedures compared to those achieved with drills, scalpels, and other conventional instruments. Potential patient benefits include less pain, fewer shots, faster healing, decreased fear and anxiety, and fewer appointments. Potential practitioner benefits include improved patient care and the ability to perform a higher volume and wider variety of procedures and generate more patient referrals.

We offer two categories of laser system products: Waterlase (all-tissue) systems and diode (soft-tissue) systems. Our flagship brand, Waterlase, uses a patented combination of water and laser energy and is FDA cleared for over 80 clinical indications to perform most procedures currently performed using drills, scalpels, and other traditional dental instruments for cutting soft and hard tissue. For example, Waterlase safely debrides implants without damaging or significantly affecting surface temperature and is the only effective, safe solution to preserving sick implants. In addition, Waterlase disinfects root canals more efficiently than some traditional chemical methods. We also offer our diode laser systems to perform soft tissue, pain therapy, and cosmetic procedures, including teeth whitening. As of March 31, 2022 we had approximately 301 issued and 32 pending United States and international patents, the majority of which are related to Waterlase technology. From 1998 through December 31, 2021, we sold over 43,300 laser systems in over 80 countries around the world.

Business and Outlook

Our Waterlase systems precisely cut hard tissue, bone, and soft tissue with minimal or no damage to surrounding tissue and dental structures. Our diode systems, which include the Epic system, are designed to complement our Waterlase systems, and are used only in soft tissue procedures, pain therapy, hygiene, and cosmetic applications, including teeth whitening. The diode systems, together with our Waterlase systems, offer practitioners a broad product line with a range of features and price points.

We also manufacture and sell consumable products and accessories for our laser systems. Our Waterlase and diode systems use disposable laser tips of differing sizes and shapes depending on the procedure being performed. We also market flexible fibers and hand pieces that dental practitioners replace at some point after initially purchasing laser systems. For our Epic systems, we sell teeth whitening gel kits.

Due to the limitations associated with traditional and alternative dental instruments, we believe there is a large market opportunity for all-tissue dental laser systems that provide superior clinical outcomes, reduce the need to use anesthesia, help reduce trauma, pain, and discomfort associated with dental procedures, and increase patient acceptance for treatment protocols.

Our strategy is to increase awareness and demand for (i) our products among dental practitioners by educating dental practitioners and patients about the clinical benefits of our product suite and (ii) our laser systems among patients by educating patients about the clinical benefits of the Waterlase and diode systems. An important goal of ours is to increase consumables revenue by selling more single-use accessories used by dental practitioners when performing procedures using our dental laser systems. In the short term, we are striving for operating excellence through lean enterprise initiatives, with a specific focus on our sales strategy and cash flow management, coupled with optimizing our engineering capabilities to develop innovative new products.

We also seek to create value through innovation and leveraging existing technologies into adjacent medical applications. We plan to expand our product line and clinical applications by developing enhancements and transformational innovations, including new clinical solutions for dental applications and for other adjacent medical applications. In particular, we believe that our existing technologies can provide significant improvements over existing standards of care in fields including ophthalmology, otolaryngology, orthopedics, podiatry, pain management, aesthetics/dermatology, veterinary, and consumer products. We plan to continue to explore potential collaborations to apply our proprietary laser technologies with expanded FDA-cleared indications to other medical applications in the future.

The Company experienced revenue growth of 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the negative impact of COVID-19 during the first quarter of 2021 and high demand from new users for the Company's dental lasers. The Company is currently forecasting revenue for fiscal year 2022 to be significantly above fiscal year 2021, as the Company's strategy described above continues to generate sales to new customers.

To educate providers and increase patient access to our products, over the past 18 months, we have formed specialist training programs focused on expanding awareness of the benefits of our dental lasers among dental specialists. For example, during the second quarter of 2021, we launched the Waterlase Pediatric Dental Academy (the "WPDA") for pediatric dentists. This program provides clinicians with an immersive training experience through peer-led learning and best practice sharing to help ensure appropriate use of Waterlase technology in clinical practices. During the first quarter of 2021, we also launched an innovative and first-of-its-kind training program in the periodontal community. This program fosters peer-led learning about dental lasers from leading clinicians, featuring online meetings and case reviews by experts in the field. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2020, we launched the Waterlase Endo Academy, a community of leading endodontists dedicated to improving patient outcomes with new technology, and announced a collaboration with Einstein Healthcare Network’s Residency in Endodontics to train endodontics residents in the use of Waterlase dental lasers. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we launched the Epic Hygiene Academy which seeks to bring together leaders in the dental hygiene profession to provide improved continuing education in delivering superior patient care through laser technology.

In 2021, we designed, developed, received FDA clearance for and began production of a laser using our proprietary Er,Cr:YSGG laser technology in partnership with EdgeEndo, a leading endodontic company. The EdgePro is a state-of-the-art microfluidic irrigation device designed to clean and disinfect root canals. The partnership with EdgeEndo is our first exclusive OEM agreement.

Recent Developments

Reverse Stock Split

On April 28, 2022, BIOLASE’s stockholders approved a proposal at BIOLASE’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2022 Annual Meeting”) further amending BIOLASE’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to effect a reverse stock split of BIOLASE common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a ratio between one-for-two

(1:2) and one-for-twenty-five (1:25), without reducing the authorized number of shares of BIOLASE common stock. Following the 2022 Annual Meeting, BIOLASE’s board of directors approved a final split ratio of one-for-twenty-five (1:25). Following such approval, the Company filed an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the reverse stock split, with an effective time of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on April 28, 2022. Except as the context otherwise requires, all common stock share numbers and common stock share price amounts in this Part II, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Series G Preferred Stock

On March 1, 2022, the Board declared a dividend of one one-thousandth of a share of Series G Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series G Preferred Stock”), for each outstanding share of Company common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), to stockholders of record at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 25, 2022 (as calculated on a pre-Reverse Stock Split basis). The certificate of designation for the Series G Preferred Stock provided that all shares of Series G Preferred Stock not present in person or by proxy at the 2022 Annual Meeting immediately prior to the opening of the polls at the 2022 Annual Meeting will be automatically redeemed (the “Initial Redemption”) and that any outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock that have not been redeemed pursuant to the Initial Redemption will be redeemed in whole, but not in part, (i) if and when ordered by the Board or (ii) automatically upon the effectiveness of the amendment to BIOLASE’s certificate of incorporation effecting the reverse stock split that was subject to the vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting (the “Subsequent Redemption”). On April 28, 2022, both the Initial Redemption and the Subsequent Redemption occurred. As a result, no shares of Series G Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

Cyber Incident

In December 2021, we experienced a cybersecurity attack that caused a brief network disruption and impacted certain systems. Upon detection, we took immediate steps to address the incident, engaged third-party experts, and notified law enforcement. We have taken actions to strengthen our existing systems and implement additional prevention measures. This incident is expected to be immaterial both financially and operationally to the Company. We will continue to monitor and assess as needed. All liabilities were fully insured, and as of December 31, 2021 we recorded an accrued liability and an insurance receivable within prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.4 million. In March 2022 we received the cash reimbursement from our insurance provider.

Critical Accounting Policies

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses reported during the period. Information with respect to our critical accounting policies that we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management is contained in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the 2021 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2022 in our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in Item 7 of the 2021 Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with GAAP, we provide certain historical non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results and that, in some respects, are indicative of our ongoing core performance.

Management believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial information provides investors with greater transparency and facilitates comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, derivative instruments, and amortization methods, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position, and prospects for the future. However, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Form 10-Q have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented by us may be different from similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in its evaluation of our core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance measurement process. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, patent litigation settlements, stock-based and other non-cash compensation, and the change in allowance for doubtful accounts. Management uses adjusted EBITDA in its evaluation of our core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance measurement process. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented by us may be different from similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The following table contains a reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders (in thousands):

Comparison of Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Net Revenue: The following table summarizes our unaudited net revenue by category, including each category’s percentage of our total revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, as well as the amount of change and percentage of change in each revenue category (dollars in thousands):

The following table summarizes our unaudited net revenue by geographic location based on the location of customers for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, as well as the amount of change and percentage of change in each geographic revenue category (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,								Amount		Percent
	2022				2021				Change		Change
United States	$	6,978	68.6	%	$	5,221	64.3	%	$	1,757		33.7	%
International		3,188	31.4	%		2,895	35.7	%		293		10.1	%
Net revenue	$	10,166	100.0	%	$	8,116	100.0	%	$	2,050		25.3	%

Typically, we experience fluctuations in revenue from quarter to quarter due to seasonality. Revenue in the first quarter typically is lower than average, and revenue in the fourth quarter typically is higher than average, due to the buying patterns of dental practitioners. We believe that this trend exists because a significant number of dentists purchase their capital equipment towards the end of the calendar year in order to maximize their practice earnings while seeking to minimize their taxes. They often use certain tax incentives, such as accelerated depreciation methods for purchasing capital equipment, as part of their year-end tax planning. In addition, revenue in the third quarter may be affected by vacation patterns which can cause revenue to be flat or lower than in the second quarter of the year. Our historical seasonal fluctuations may also be impacted by sales promotions used by large dental distributors that encourage end-of-quarter and end-of-year buying in our industry.

Total net revenue increased by $2.1 million, or 25%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to an increase in Waterlase sales to new customers and specialists. In the U.S., net revenue increased by $1.8 million, or 34%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. Outside the U.S., net revenue increased by $0.3 million, or 10%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. We believe patient volume in many countries outside the U.S. are still lagging from their pre-COVID-19 levels, but are improving.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit: The following table summarizes our unaudited cost of revenue and gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, as well as the amount of change and percentage of change (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,								Amount		Percent
	2022				2021				Change		Change
Net revenue	$	10,166	100.0	%	$	8,116	100.0	%	$	2,050		25.3	%
Cost of revenue		5,437	53.5	%		5,375	66.2	%		62		1.2	%
Gross profit	$	4,729	46.5	%	$	2,741	33.8	%	$	1,988		72.5	%

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue typically fluctuates with product and regional mix, selling prices, product costs and revenue levels. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $4.7 million, or 47% of net revenue, an increase of approximately $2.0 million, or 73%, as compared with gross profit of $2.7 million, or 34% of net revenue, for the same period in 2021. The increase in gross profit is commensurate with the increase in sales, the favorable absorption of fixed expenses, higher average selling prices, and the effect of an increase in the percentage of our revenue generated in the U.S., where margins are greater than our international business.

Operating Expenses: The following table summarizes our unaudited operating expenses (including as a percentage of net revenue) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, as well as the amount of change and percentage of change (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,								Amount			Percent
	2022				2021				Change			Change
Sales and marketing	$	4,814	47.4	%	$	3,553	43.8	%	$	1,261			35.5	%
General and administrative		2,577	25.3	%		3,358	41.4	%		(781	)		-23.3	%
Engineering and development		1,544	15.2	%		1,803	22.2	%		(259	)		-14.4	%
Loss on patent litigation settlement		—	—	%		89	1.1	%		(89	)		-100.0	%
Total operating expenses	$	8,935	87.9	%	$	8,803	108.5	%	$	132			1.5	%

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $1.3 million, or 36%, as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase is primarily due to $0.4 million in sales commission and $0.4 million in increased travel and trade show related expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2021.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $0.8 million, or 23%, compared to the same period in 2021. This decrease is primarily due to $0.6 million decrease in compensation costs and $0.4 million decrease in severance expense.

Engineering and Development Expense. Engineering and development expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $0.3 million, or 14%, compared to the same period in 2021. This decrease is primarily due to a $0.3 million decrease in legal and consulting fees.

Non-Operating Income (Loss)

Loss on Foreign Currency Transactions. We realized an approximately $0.1 million loss on foreign currency transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to an approximately $0.2 million loss on foreign currency transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and Euro, as well as other foreign currencies.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense was $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 2021.

Income Tax Provision. We use a discrete year-to-date method in calculating quarterly provision for income taxes. Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was consistent with the same period in 2021. For additional information regarding income taxes, see Part I, Item I, Note 14 – Income Taxes.

Net Loss. For the reasons stated above, our net loss totaled approximately $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a net loss of $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2022, we had approximately $21.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. Management defines cash and cash equivalents as highly liquid deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2021 was primarily due to a net loss of $4.8 million and net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The following table summarizes our change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2022			2021
Net cash flows used in operating activities	$	(8,021	)	$	(6,499	)
Net cash flows used in investing activities		(304	)		(8	)
Net cash flows provided by financing activities		—			29,825
Effect of exchange rate changes		(41	)		(148	)
Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(8,366	)	$	23,170

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities consists of our net loss, adjusted for our non-cash charges, plus or minus working capital changes. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $8.0 million and was primarily comprised of our net loss of $4.8 million, and a net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $3.8 million. The net decrease in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in inventory as we have increased inventory levels to try to mitigate the impact of supply disruptions from potential product shortages and delivery delays due to COVID-19, a $1.1 million increase in accounts receivable, and a $1.0 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities from the payment of the patent litigation accrual.

In January 2022, the Company paid all amounts due to CAO and removed the liability.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $0.3 million and was comprised of the purchase of property, plant, and equipment. We expect cash flows from investing activities to increase somewhat through the remainder of 2022 due to the completion of our new training facility.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $0.0 million.

Effect of Exchange Rate

The $41 thousand effect of exchange rate on cash for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was due to recognized loss on foreign currency transactions, primarily driven by changes in the Euro during the period.

Future Liquidity Needs

As of March 31, 2022, we had working capital of approximately $30.7 million. Our principal sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2022 consisted of approximately $21.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $5.2 million of net accounts receivable.

The Company may need to raise additional capital in the future. Additional capital requirements may depend on many factors, including, among other things, the rate at which the Company’s business grows, demands for working capital, manufacturing capacity, and any acquisitions that the Company may pursue. From time to time, the Company could be required, or may otherwise attempt, to raise capital through either equity or debt offerings. The Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to successfully enter into any such equity or debt financings in the future or that the required capital will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that any such financing activity will not be dilutive to its stockholders.

The Company has historically experienced losses from operations and has used cash and cash equivalents in operating activities. To be able to discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business, we must increase sales of our products, control or potentially reduce expenses, and establish profitable operations in order to generate cash from operations or obtain additional funds when needed.

We intend to improve our financial condition and ultimately improve our financial results by increasing revenues through expansion of our product offerings, continuing to expand and develop our field sales force and distributor relationships both domestically and internationally, forming strategic arrangements within the dental and medical industries, educating dental and medical patients as to the benefits of our advanced medical technologies, and reducing expenses.
