Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note A—Organization and Basis of Presentation

Conformis, Inc., and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a medical technology company that uses its proprietary iFit Image-to-Implant technology platform to develop, manufacture and sell joint replacement implants that are individually sized and shaped, which the Company refers to as personalized, to fit each patient’s unique anatomy. The Company’s proprietary iFit technology platform is potentially applicable to all major joints. The Company offers a broad line of personalized knee implants designed to restore the natural shape of a patient’s knee.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware and commenced operations in 2004. The Company introduced its iUni and iDuo in 2007, its iTotal CR in 2011, its iTotal PS in 2015, and its Conformis Hip System in 2018. The Company has its corporate offices in Billerica, Massachusetts.

These consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and related interim information contained within the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Liquidity and operations

Since the Company’s inception in June 2004, it has financed its operations primarily through private placements of preferred stock, its initial public offering in July 2015, other equity financings, debt and convertible debt financings, equipment purchase loans, patent licensing, and product revenue beginning in 2007. The Company has not yet attained profitability and continues to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows, which adversely impacts the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $513.5 million and cash and cash equivalents of $21.5 million, and $0.5 million in restricted cash allocated to lease deposits.

In December 2019, a human infection originating in China was traced to a novel strain of coronavirus. The virus has subsequently spread to other parts of the world, including the United States and Europe, and has caused unprecedented disruptions in the global economy as efforts to contain the spread of the virus have intensified. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared this coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) to be a pandemic. The future progression of the pandemic and its effects on the Company's business and operations are highly uncertain. The Company has experienced significantly decreased demand for its products and expects further unpredictable and potentially significant reductions in demand for its products as healthcare providers and individuals de-prioritize and defer medical procedures that are not deemed to be a high priority, such as joint replacement procedures, which will have a material adverse effect on its business, operations and financial condition.

On March 20, 2020, the Company provided notice to its employees of a furlough of approximately 80 employees, effective as of March 23, 2020, to help address decreased demand for its products. The furlough resulted in limited production capacity at the Company's manufacturing facilities, but sufficient to meet expected demand. While the Company does not currently anticipate significant interruptions in its supply chain, extended or additional quarantines, travel restrictions and other measures may significantly impact the ability of employees of its third-party suppliers to get to their places of work to manufacture the key components and materials necessary for our products. The Company has experienced and may experience further shortages of mask and gown consumables used in its clean room processes, which may further limit the production capacity and further delay the joint replacement procedures in which its products are used. The Company's employee furlough and any delay or shortage of such components or materials or delays in delivering its products may result in its inability to satisfy consumer demand for its products in a timely manner or at all, which could harm its reputation, future sales, profitability and financial condition. On April 17, 2020, the Company entered into an approximately $4.7 million promissory note (the “PPP Note”) with East West Bank as the lender under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA") to mitigate the negative financial and operational impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. For further information regarding the PPP Note, see

"Note L-Subsequent Events" to the consolidated financial statements appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q. On April 23, 2020, the Company accelerated a plan to return to full-time employment the vast majority of those employees who were furloughed on March 23, 2020.

Due to the reductions in demand for its products as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company does not expect to satisfy the trailing six months' revenue covenant at the end of June 2020, which may be an event of default under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement unless a new financial plan, which would include the sale and issuance of new securities, is agreed upon between parties within a 60-day cure period after June 30, 2020. If the company fails to meet such revenue covenant as of June 30, 2020 and the parties fail to agree upon a new financial plan within the 60-day cure period after June 30, 2020, Innovatus would be permitted to exercise remedies against the Company and its assets, including charging interest at the rate that is otherwise applicable plus 5.0%, taking control of the Company's cash and commencing foreclosure proceedings on the Company's other assets. The Company is in initial discussions with Innovatus with the goal of adjusting the revenue covenants under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement, but there can be no guarantee that these discussions will be successful. If the Company is unsuccessful in the discussions with Innovatus, the Company would need to refinance this debt prior to Innovatus exercising remedies against the Company in order to prevent such exercise of remedies. The Company may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to the Company, or at all. Accordingly, this factor raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020, do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company may need to engage in additional equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. The Company may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to it, or at all. To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through the future sale of equity or debt, the ownership interests of its existing stockholders will be diluted. The terms of these future equity or debt securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of the Company's existing common stockholders or involve negative covenants that restrict the Company's ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt or making capital expenditures.

In January 2017, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 9, 2017 (the "Existing Shelf Registration Statement"). The Existing Shelf Registration Statement allows the Company to sell from time to time up to $200 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, or units comprised of any combination of these securities, for its own account in one or more offerings. On May 10, 2017, the Company filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement, for the sale and issuance of up to $50 million of its common stock and entered into a Distribution Agreement (“Distribution Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity Inc. ("Canaccord") pursuant to which Canaccord agreed to sell shares of the Company's common stock from time to time, as its agent, in an “at-the-market” ("ATM") offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the Distribution Agreement. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had sold 1,870,069 shares under the Distribution Agreement resulting in net proceeds of $3.6 million.

On March 23, 2020, the Company filed a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the "New Shelf Registration Statement"). Once the New Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Existing Shelf Registration Statement will expire. Under the New Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will be permitted to sell from time to time up to $200 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, or units comprised of any combination of these securities, for its own account in one or more offerings. The New Shelf Registration Statement is intended to provide the Company flexibility to conduct sales of its registered securities, subject to market conditions and our future capital needs. The terms of any offering under the New Shelf Registration Statement will be established at the time of such offering and will be described in a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC prior to the completion of any such offering.

On December 17, 2018, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with Lincoln Park Capital ("LPC"). Upon entering into the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company sold 1,921,968 shares of common stock for $1.0 million to LPC, representing a premium of 110% to the previous day's closing price. As consideration for LPC’s commitment to purchase shares of common stock under the Stock

Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 354,430 shares to LPC. The Company has the right at its sole discretion to sell to LPC up to $20.0 million worth of shares over a 36-month period subject to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company controls the timing of any sales to LPC and LPC will be obligated to make purchases of the Company's common stock upon receipt of requests from the Company in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. There are no upper limits to the price per share LPC may pay to purchase up to $20.0 million worth of common stock subject to the Stock Purchase Agreement, and the purchase price of the shares will be based on the then prevailing market prices of the Company's shares at the time of each sale to LPC as described in the Stock Purchase Agreement, provided that LPC will not be obligated to make purchases of the Company's common stock pursuant to receipt of a request from the Company on any business day on which the last closing trade price of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (or alternative national exchange in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement) is below a floor price of $0.25 per share. No warrants, derivatives, financial or business covenants are associated with the Stock Purchase Agreement and LPC has agreed not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of shares of the Company's common stock. The Stock Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time, at the Company's sole discretion, without any cost or penalty. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has sold 2,921,268 shares under the Stock Purchase Agreement resulting in proceeds of $2.2 million.

On June 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "2019 Secured Loan Agreement") with Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP ("Innovatus"), as collateral agent and lender, East West Bank and the other lenders party thereto from time to time (collectively, the "Lenders"), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to make term loans and revolving credit facility to the Company to repay existing indebtedness, for working capital and general business purposes, in a principal amount of up to $30 million. The Company used the proceeds from the debt financings to pay off its senior secured loan and security agreement (the "2017 Secured Loan Agreement") with Oxford Finance LLC ("Oxford"). In addition, Innovatus purchased approximately $3 million of the Company's common stock at the previous day's closing price (the "Private Placement"). For further information regarding the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement and the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement, see “Note I—Debt and Notes Payable” in the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Howmedica Osteonics Corp., a subsidiary of Stryker Corporation also known as Stryker Orthopaedics ("Stryker"). In connection with entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company and Stryker also entered into a Development Agreement (the "Development Agreement"), a License Agreement (the "License Agreement"), a Distribution Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement" and together with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Development Agreement and the License Agreement (the "Stryker Agreements") and other ancillary agreements contemplated by the Stryker Agreements. Under the terms of the Stryker Agreements, the Company agreed to sell and license to Stryker certain assets relating to the Company's patient-specific instrumentation technology, and to develop, manufacture, and supply patient-specific instrumentation for use in connection with Stryker's "off-the-shelf" non-personalized knee implant offerings. The Company received $14 million upfront and is eligible to receive up to an additional $16 million in milestone payments pursuant to the License Agreement and the Development Agreement. As of March 31, 2020, the Company completed the first of three milestones set forth in the License Agreement and the Development Agreement and received $2.0 million for achievement of this milestone. Under the long-term Distribution Agreement, the Company will supply patient specific instrumentation to Stryker. The Stryker Agreements contain termination provisions pursuant to which, under certain circumstances, Stryker may be able to terminate the Development Agreement and oblige the Company to repay a portion of the initial payment. In other circumstances, Stryker could terminate and pay an additional fee for the right to use the Company's intellectual property to sell patient-specific instrumentation with their off-the-shelf knee offering, subject to paying the Company a sales-based royalty fee.

The Company funds its operations, capital expenditure requirements and debt service with existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020, anticipated revenue from operations, the successful completion of the milestones set forth in the Development Agreement and License Agreement, revenue that may be generated in connection with licensing its intellectual property, available sales of shares under the Distribution Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement, and available borrowings under the revolving credit facility. In order for the Company to meet its operating plan, gross margin improvements and operating expense reductions will be necessary to reduce cash used in operations, and the Company will need to successfully complete milestones set forth in the Development Agreement and the License Agreement and successfully renegotiate its debt, none of which can be assured. When the Company needs additional equity or debt financing proceeds to fund its

operations, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to the Company, or at all.

Basis of presentation and use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates used in these consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, accounts receivable valuation, inventory reserves, purchase accounting, impairment assessments, equity instruments, stock compensation, income tax reserves and related allowances, and the lives of property and equipment, and valuation of right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and related interim information contained within the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2020, results of operations for and stockholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any interim period.

Note B—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company's financial results are affected by the selection and application of accounting policies and methods. There were no material changes in the three months ended March 31, 2020 to the application of significant accounting policies and estimates as described in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Concentrations of credit risk and other risks and uncertainties

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains the majority of its cash with accredited financial institutions.

The Company and its contract manufacturers rely on sole source suppliers and service providers for certain components. There can be no assurance that a shortage or stoppage of shipments of the materials or components that the Company purchases will not result in a delay in production or adversely affect the Company’s business. On an ongoing basis, the Company validates alternate suppliers relative to certain key components as needed.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, no customer represented greater than 10% of revenue. There were no customers that represented greater than 10% of the total gross receivable balance as of March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries ImaTx, Inc. ("ImaTx"); ConforMIS Europe GmbH; ConforMIS UK Limited; ConforMIS Hong Kong Limited; and Conformis Cares LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of demand deposits, money market accounts, money market funds, and repurchase agreements on deposit with certain financial institutions, in addition to cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. Demand deposits and money market accounts are carried at cost which approximates their fair value. Money market funds are carried at fair value based upon level 1 inputs. Repurchase agreements are valued using level 2 inputs. The associated risk of concentration is mitigated by banking with credit worthy financial institutions. The Company had $0.4 million as of March 31, 2020 and $0.8 million as of December 31, 2019 held in foreign bank accounts that are not federally insured. In addition, the Company has recorded restricted cash of $0.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Restricted cash consisted of security provided for lease obligations.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows.



	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Cash and cash equivalents	$	21,518	$	26,394
Restricted cash	462		462
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows	$	21,980	$	26,856

Fair value of financial instruments

Certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents (excluding money market funds), accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its fair value.

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable consist of billed and unbilled amounts due from medical facilities or independent distributors (the "Customer"). Upon completion of a procedure, revenue is recognized and an unbilled receivable is recorded. Under ASC No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606" or "ASC 606"), an enforceable contract is met either at or prior to the procedure being performed. Upon receipt of a purchase order from the Customer, a billed receivable is recorded and the unbilled receivable is reversed. As a result, the unbilled receivable balance fluctuates based on the timing of the Company's receipt of purchase orders from the medical facilities. In estimating whether accounts receivable can be collected, the Company performs evaluations of customers and continuously monitors collections and payments and estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of the underlying invoices, collections experience to date and any specific collection issues that have been identified. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which revenue is recorded or when collection risk is identified.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process components and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in first-out method, or net realizable value. The Company regularly reviews its inventory quantities on hand and related cost and records a provision for any excess or obsolete inventory based on its estimated forecast of product demand and existing product configurations. The Company also reviews its inventory value to determine if it reflects the lower of cost or market, based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to inventory items sold at negative gross margin, purchase commitments and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized provisions of $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, to adjust its inventory value to the lower of cost or net realizable value for estimated unused product related to known and potential cancelled cases, which is included in cost of revenue.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are

amortized over their useful life or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter. Assets capitalized under capital leases are amortized in accordance with the respective class of assets and the amortization is included with depreciation expense. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company tests impairment of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on fair value, which is determined using estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated from such assets or group of assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were changes in circumstances that led the Company to believe that its long-lived assets may be impaired and as such, a Step 2 analysis was performed. The Company evaluated whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows, including estimated residual value, generated from the asset group were sufficient to support the carrying value of the assets. If the cash flow estimates or the significant operating assumptions upon which they are based change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, no such impairment charges were recognized.

Leases

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02-Leases ("Topic 842" or "ASC 842"), as of January 1, 2019, in accordance with ASU No. 2018-11-Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2018-11"), issued by the FASB in July 2018. ASU 2018-11 allows an entity to elect not to recast its comparative periods in the period of adoption when transitioning to ASC 842 (the “Comparatives Under 840 Option”). Effectively, an entity would be permitted to change its date of initial application to the beginning of the period of adoption of ASC 842. In doing so, the entity would apply ASC 840 in the comparative periods and provide the disclosures required by ASC 840 for all periods that continue to be presented in accordance with ASC 840. Further, the entity would recognize the effects of applying ASC 842 as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. Under the Comparatives Under 840 Option, this date would represent the date of initial application. The Company is not required to restate comparative periods for the effects of applying ASC 842, provide the disclosures required by ASC 842 for the comparative periods, nor change how the transition requirements apply, only when the transition requirements apply. The Company elected to report results for periods after January 1, 2019 under ASC 842 and prior period amounts are reported in accordance with ASC 840.

The Company has elected not to separate non-lease components from all classes of leases. Non-lease components have been accounted for as part of the single lease component to which they are related.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. This practical expedient enables an entity to use hindsight in determining the lease term when considering options to extend and terminate leases as well as purchase the underlying assets.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $7.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the additional lease assets and lease liabilities is related to deferred rent, which was previously recorded as deferred rent within Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities under ASC 840. The operating lease right-of-use assets are subsequently assessed for impairment in accordance with the Company's accounting policy for long-lived assets. The adoption of the standard did not impact the Company’s consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

Product Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when, or as, obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or services to a customer (“transaction price”). When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of March 31, 2020. Payment is typically due between 30 - 60 days from invoice.

To the extent that the transaction price includes variable consideration, such as prompt-pay discounts or rebates, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the expected value to which the Company expects to be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company's estimates. 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 (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on observable prices or a cost-plus margin approach when one is not available. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer. The Company's performance obligations are satisfied at the same time, typically upon surgery, therefore, product revenue is recognized at a point in time upon completion of the surgery. Since the Company does not have contracts that extend beyond a duration of one year, there is no transaction price related to performance obligations that have not been satisfied.

Certain customer contracts include terms that allow the Company to bill for orders that are cancelled after the product is manufactured and could result in revenue recognition over time. However, the impact of adopting over time revenue recognition was deemed immaterial.

Unconditional rights to consideration are reported as receivables. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense.

Royalty Revenue Recognition

The Company receives ongoing sales-based royalties under its agreement with MicroPort Orthopedics Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Microport Scientific Corporation. Royalty revenue is recorded at the expected value of the royalty revenue.

On September 30, 2019 the Company entered into the Stryker Agreements. The Company determined that the Asset Purchase Agreement and the License Agreement are within the scope of ASC 606. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement and License Agreement, the Company is required to provide certain assets and the right to use the license for a specific purpose. The assets and the right to use the license are highly interdependent and is considered one performance obligation. The Company bifurcated the total transaction price of $30.0 million into two components; $5.0 million related to cost reimbursement for other services (development) and $25.0 million allocated to royalty revenue determined using the residual approach by deducting the cost reimbursement component from the total transaction price. The arrangement does not contain a significant financing component.

The Company records a contract liability when there is an obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. The Company has concluded that Stryker meets the definition of a customer for a portion of the obligations under the Stryker Agreements. At March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $12.0 million as a long-term contract liability related to consideration received from the customer under the Asset Purchase Agreement and Development Agreement. The Company

concluded the license rights under the License Agreement are functional when FDA 510(k) clearance is received as required under Milestone 3 in the License Agreement, or upon termination by Stryker and Stryker's election to purchase the license rights.

Disaggregation of Revenue

See "Note K—Segment and Geographic Data" for disaggregated product revenue by geography.

Variable Consideration

Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established and which result from rebates that are offered within contracts between the Company and some of its customers. The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained, and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period.

The following table summarizes activity for rebate allowance reserve (in thousands):



	March 31, 2020			December 31, 2019
Beginning Balance	$	127		$	96
Provision related to current period sales	48			145
Adjustment related to prior period sales	—			20
Payments or credits issued to customer	(14		)	(134		)
Ending Balance	$	161		$	127

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

The Company currently expenses commissions paid for obtaining product sales. Sales commissions are paid following the manufacture and implementation of the implant. Due to the period being less than one year, the Company will apply the practical expedient, whereby the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in sales and marketing expense. Further, the Company incurs costs to buy, build, replenish, restock, sterilize and replace the reusable instrumentation trays associated with the sale of its products and services. The reusable instrument trays are not contract specific and are used for multiple contracts and customers, therefore does not meet the criteria to capitalize under ASC 606.

Shipping and handling costs

Shipping and handling activities prior to the transfer of control to the customer (e.g. when control transfers after delivery) are considered fulfillment activities, and not performance obligations. Amounts invoiced to customers for shipping and handling are classified as revenue. Shipping and handling costs incurred are included in general and administrative expense. Shipping and handling expense was $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities

The Company’s policy is to present taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities on a net basis and not to include tax amounts in revenue.

Research and development expense

The Company’s research and development costs consist of engineering, product development, quality assurance, clinical and regulatory expense. These costs primarily relate to employee compensation, including salary, benefits and stock-based compensation. The Company also incurs costs related to consulting fees, revenue share, materials and supplies, and marketing studies, including data management and associated travel expense. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Advertising expense

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, which are included in sales and marketing. Advertising expense was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance of the segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker is its chief executive officer. The Company’s chief executive officer reviews financial information presented on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company has one business segment and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results and plans for products or components below the aggregate Company level. Accordingly, in light of the Company’s current product offerings, management has determined that the primary form of internal reporting is aligned with the offering of the Conformis personalized joint replacement products and that the Company operates as one segment. See “Note K—Segment and Geographic Data.”

Foreign currency translation and transactions

The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates at the balance sheet date, and income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the quarter. Net translation gains and losses are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions denominated in foreign currencies, including intercompany balances not of a long-term investment nature, are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating losses and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income 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 as income in the period that includes the enactment date.

In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all reasonably available positive and negative evidence, including recent earnings, expectations of future taxable income and the character of that income. In estimating future taxable income, the Company relies upon assumptions and estimates of future activity including the reversal of temporary differences. Presently, the Company believes that a full valuation allowance is required to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from these positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company reviews its tax positions on an annual basis and more frequently as facts surrounding tax positions change. Based on these future events, the Company may recognize uncertain tax positions or reverse current uncertain tax positions, the impact of which would affect the consolidated financial statements.

The Company has operations in Germany. The operating results of German operations will be permanently reinvested in that jurisdiction. As a result, the Company has only provided for income taxes at local rates when required. In April 2020, new interpretations of a German law related to intellectual property and withholding tax were released. The Company is currently evaluating whether the interpretations will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $25,000 and $(9,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, a cumulative balance of $55,000 and $47,000 of interest and penalties had been accrued, respectively.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") which included modifications to the limitation on business interest expense, net operating loss provisions, and other various U.S. tax law updates. The Company does not expect that these aspects of the CARES Act will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Based Compensation. ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments to employees and consultants, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on their fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted-average fair value of options granted and recognizes the compensation expense of stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award.

The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model is affected by the stock price, exercise price, and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility of the stock, expected life of the option, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends on the stock. The Company evaluates the assumptions used to value the awards at each grant date and if factors change and different assumptions are utilized, stock-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what has been recorded in the past. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, the Company may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense.

Net loss per share

The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to stockholders (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Note G—Leases

The Company maintains its corporate headquarters in a leased building located in Billerica, Massachusetts. The Company maintains its manufacturing facilities in leased buildings located in Wilmington, Massachusetts and Wallingford, Connecticut.

The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of approximately one to seven years, some of which include one or more options to extend the leases for up to five years per renewal. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the sole discretion of the Company. The amounts disclosed in the Consolidated Balance Sheet pertaining to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are measured based on management’s current expectations of exercising its available renewal options.

The Company’s existing leases are not subject to any restrictions or covenants which preclude its ability to pay dividends, obtain financing, or enter into additional leases.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company has not entered into any leases which have not yet commenced which would entitle the Company to significant rights or create additional obligations.

The Company uses either its incremental borrowing rate or the implicit rate in the lease agreement as the basis to calculate the present value of future lease payments at lease commencement. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate the Company would have to pay to borrow funds on a collateralized basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment.

The components of lease expense and related cash flows were as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,

Note H—Commitments and Contingencies

License and revenue share agreements

Revenue share agreements

The Company is party to revenue share agreements with certain past and present members of its scientific advisory board under which these advisors agreed to participate on a scientific advisory board and to assist with the development of the Company’s personalized implant products and related intellectual property. These agreements provide that the Company will pay the advisor a specified percentage of the Company’s net revenue, ranging from 0.1% to 1.33%, with respect to the Company’s products on which the advisor made a technical contribution or, in some cases, products covered by one or more claims of one or more Company patents on which the advisor is a named inventor. The specific percentage is determined by reference to product classifications set forth in the agreement and is often tiered based on the level of net revenue collected by the Company on such product sales. The Company’s payment obligations under these agreements typically expire a fixed number of years after expiration or termination of the agreement or a fixed number of years after the first sale of a product, but in some cases expire on a product-by-product basis or expiration of the last to expire of the Company’s patents where the advisor is a named inventor that claims the applicable product.

The Company incurred aggregate revenue share expense including all amounts payable under the Company’s scientific advisory board revenue share agreements of $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, representing 3.3% of product revenue and $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, representing 3.5% of product revenue. Revenue share expense is included in research and development.

Other obligations

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to certain non-cancellable contractual obligations typically related to product royalty and research and development. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. There have been no contingent liabilities requiring accrual at March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Legal proceedings

On August 15, 2019, the Company filed a lawsuit against Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. and Zimmer, Inc., (together, “Zimmer Biomet”) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking damages for Zimmer Biomet’s infringement of certain of the Company’s patents related to patient-specific instrument and implant systems. The complaint alleges that Zimmer Biomet’s multiple lines of patient-specific instruments, as well as the implant components used in conjunction with them, infringe four of the Company’s patents. The accused product lines include Zimmer Biomet patient-specific instrument and implant systems for knee, shoulder, and hip replacement procedures.

On November 5, 2019, Zimmer Biomet filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that the Company infringes five patents owned by Zimmer Biomet. Zimmer Biomet alleges that the Company’s iTotal CR and iTotal PS products infringe all five asserted patents, that the Company’s iDuo product infringes three of the asserted patents, and that the Company’s iUni product infringes two of the asserted patents. On January 13, 2020, Zimmer Biomet filed a motion to dismiss the Company’s complaint, and the Company filed its answer to Zimmer Biomet’s complaint, denying that the Company’s products infringe Zimmer Biomet’s asserted patents. The Company’s answer also alleges that Zimmer Biomet’s asserted patents are invalid. On March 27, 2020, the court entered a stay in both lawsuits pursuant to a joint motion to stay filed by the Company and Zimmer Biomet, and on April 13, 2020, the court extended the stay through April 30, 2020, pursuant to a joint motion to extend the stay filed by the Company and Zimmer Biomet, and on May 4, 2020, the court extended the stay through May 15, 2020, pursuant to a joint motion to extend the stay filed by Conformis and Zimmer Biomet.

On August 29, 2019, the Company filed a lawsuit against Medacta USA, Inc. (“Medacta”), in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and the Company amended its complaint on December 23, 2019, seeking damages for Medacta’s infringement of certain of the Company’s patents related to patient-specific instrument and implant systems. The Company alleges in the lawsuit that Medacta’s multiple lines of patient-

specific instruments, as well as the implant components used in conjunction with them, infringe four of the Company’s patents. The accused product lines include Medacta patient-specific instrument and implant systems for knee and shoulder replacement procedures. On January 6, 2020, Medacta filed its answer, denying that its patient-specific instrument and implant systems infringe the patents asserted by the Company. Medacta’s answer also alleges the affirmative defense that the Company's asserted patents are invalid. Discovery in the lawsuit has commenced and is ongoing.

On March 20, 2020, Osteoplastics LLC ("Osteoplastics"), filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and Osteoplastics amended its complaint on April 2, 2020, alleging that the Company infringes seven patents owned by Osteoplastics. Osteoplastics alleges that the Company’s proprietary software, including the Company’s iFit software platform, and the Company’s use of its proprietary software for designing and manufacturing medical devices, including implants, infringes the seven asserted patents.

On April 24, 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit against Wright Medical Technology, Inc. and Tornier, Inc. (together, “Wright Medical”), in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking damages for Wright Medical’s infringement of certain of the Company's patents related to patient-specific instrument and implant systems. The complaint alleges that Wright Medical’s multiple lines of patient-specific shoulder instruments, as well as the implant components used in conjunction with them, infringe four of the Company’s patents. The accused product lines include Wright Medical’s Tornier Blueprint™ 3D Planning + PSI shoulder replacement systems.

On May 8, 2020, the Company and an individual plaintiff filed a lawsuit against Aetna, Inc. and Aetna Life Insurance Company (together, “Aetna”) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts seeking damages for Aetna’s improper denial of coverage for personalized knee implants under its health plans and the ones it administers. The complaint alleges that Aetna has violated its duties under state and federal law, including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

Adverse outcomes of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company is presently unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits or to reasonably estimate a range of potential losses, if any, related to the lawsuits.

Legal costs associated with legal proceedings are accrued as incurred.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations. In accordance with its bylaws, the Company has indemnification obligations to its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while they are serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. There have been no claims to date and the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that enables it to recover a portion of any amounts paid for future claims.

2017 Secured Loan Agreement

On January 6, 2017, the Company entered into the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement with Oxford. Through the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement, the Company accessed $15 million under Term Loan A at closing and an additional $15 million of borrowings under Term Loan B on June 30, 2017. On December 13, 2018, the Company entered into a fifth amendment (the "Fifth Amendment") to the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement, with Oxford, and pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the Company pre-paid $15 million aggregate principal amount of the $30 million outstanding principal amount, as a pro rata portion of the Term A Loan and Term B Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and a pro rata prepayment fee and final payment. Under the Fifth Amendment, the Company's cash collateral requirement was reduced to $5 million. On June 25, 2019, the Company elected to prepay the remainder of the Oxford term loan outstanding (along with accrued interest and applicable final payment and prepayment fee) using the proceeds from the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement. The prepayment of the debt was accounted for as a debt extinguishment and the Company incurred a loss on the extinguishment recognized in interest expense of $1.1 million.

2019 Secured Loan Agreement

On June 25, 2019, the Company entered into the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement with Innovatus, as collateral agent and lender, East West Bank and the Lenders, pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to make term loans and revolving credit facility to the Company to repay existing indebtedness, for working capital and general business purposes, in a principal amount of up to $30 million.

The term loan facility established under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company's and its U.S. subsidiaries' properties, rights and assets.

The 2019 Secured Loan Agreement includes a trailing six months' revenue test, a liquidity covenant and an additional liquidity covenant that is applicable if there are borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The 2019 Secured Loan Agreement also includes customary representations, affirmative and negative covenants. Additionally, the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement includes events of default, the occurrence and continuation of which could cause interest to be charged at the rate that is otherwise applicable plus 5.0% and would provide Innovatus, as collateral agent, with the right to accelerate all obligations under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement and to exercise remedies against the Company and the collateral securing the credit facility, including foreclosure against assets securing the credit facilities, including the Company's cash. These events of default include, among other things, the Company’s failure to pay any amounts due under the credit facility, a breach of covenants under the credit facility, the Company’s insolvency, a material adverse change, the occurrence of any default under certain other indebtedness in an amount greater than $250,000, one or more judgments against the Company in an amount greater than $500,000, changes with respect to governmental approvals and FDA actions.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company was not in breach of covenants under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement.

Term Loan - Innovatus

The term loan under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement bears interest at a floating annual rate calculated at the greater of the variable rate of interest as most recently announced by East West Bank as prime or 5.50%, plus 3.75% ("Term Loan Basic Interest Rate"), bearing an effective interest rate of 9.25% at March 31, 2020. The Company is required to make interest only payments in arrears on the term loan for four years; provided that the Company has elected to pay 2.50% per annum as such Term Loan Basic Interest Rate in-kind by adding an amount equal to 2.50% per annum of the outstanding principal amount to the then outstanding principal balance on a monthly basis until the third anniversary of the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement. Commencing July 1, 2023, and continuing on the payment date of each month thereafter, the Company is required to make consecutive equal monthly payments of principal of the term loan, together with accrued interest, in arrears, to the Lenders. All unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the term loan, and a final fee in the amount of 5.0% of the term loan commitment, is due and payable in full on the term loan maturity date on June 1, 2024.

At the Company’s option, the Company may prepay all, but not less than all, of the term loans advanced by the Lenders under the term loan facility after the first year, subject to a prepayment fee and an amount equal to the sum of all outstanding principal of the term loans plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, a final fee, plus all other amounts that are due and payable, including the Lenders' expenses and interest at the default rate with respect to any past due amounts.

Revolving Credit Facility - East West Bank

Under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement, East West Bank will make loans of up to $10 million from time to time outstanding, subject to availability based on a borrowing base equal to (i) 85.00% of eligible customer accounts, subject to a maximum of 2.50% dilution based upon collections, minus (ii) the Company’s foreign accounts receivable credit insurance’s outstanding co-payment and minimum annual deductible (that has not been used at the applicable time). Advances under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate of 0.50% above the greater of East West Bank’s prime rate or 5.50%. Interest on the revolving advances is payable monthly in arrears. The revolving credit facility terminates and the principal and all amounts are due in full on June 25, 2024, provided that if an optional or mandatory prepayment (other than regularly scheduled payments) is made under the term loan, the Company must satisfy in full the obligations under the revolving credit line. The revolving credit facility requires a lockbox arrangement, which provides for all receipts to be swept daily to reduce the borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

There were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2020.

Note J—Stockholders’ Equity

Common stock

Common stockholders are entitled to dividends as and when declared by the board of directors, subject to the rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights as to dividends. There have been no dividends declared to date.

of the Shares, the Company shall promptly but no later than 120 days after the date of such request prepare and file with the SEC such registration statement. The Innovatus Investors have agreed to use best efforts not to make such a request, including by effecting any planned sales of Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and to keep such registration statement effective until the date the Shares covered by such registration statement have been sold or may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction.

The Innovatus Investors have also granted the Company customary indemnification rights in connection with the registration statement.

Warrants

The Company also issued warrants to certain investors and consultants to purchase shares of the Company’s preferred stock and common stock. Based on the Company’s assessment of the warrants granted in 2013 and 2014 relative to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the warrants are classified as equity. No warrants were issued in the three months ended March 31, 2020. According to ASC 480, an entity shall classify as a liability any financial instrument, other than an outstanding share, that, at inception, both a) embodies an obligation to repurchase the issuer’s equity shares, or is indexed to such obligation and b) requires or may require the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring assets. The warrants do not contain any provision that requires the Company to repurchase the shares and are not indexed to such an obligation. The warrants also do not require the Company to settle by transferring assets. All warrants were exercisable immediately upon issuance.

Common stock warrants

The Company also issued warrants to certain investors and consultants to purchase shares of common stock. Warrants to purchase 28,926 shares of common stock were outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Outstanding warrants are currently exercisable with varying exercise expiration dates from 2020 through 2024. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the weighted average warrant exercise price per share for common stock underlying warrants and the weighted average contractual life was as follows:



	Number of Warrants	Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life	Number of Warrants Exercisable	Weighted Average Price Per Share

Outstanding December 31, 2019	28,926	$	9.80	3.66	28,926	$	9.80
Outstanding March 31, 2020	28,926	$	9.80	3.41	28,926	$	9.80

Stock option plans

As of March 31, 2020, 3,906,242 shares of common stock were available for future issuance under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan ("2015 Plan"). The 2015 Plan provides for an annual increase, to be added on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 and continuing until, and including, the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, equal to the lesser of (a) 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, (b) 3% of the number of share of its common stock outstanding on the first day of such fiscal year and (c) an amount determined by the Board. Effective January 1, 2020, an additional 2,112,822 shares of the Company's common stock were added to the 2015 Plan under the terms of this provision.

On April 29, 2019, the stockholders approved the Conformis, Inc. 2019 Sales Team Performance-Based Equity Incentive Plan ("2019 Sales Team Plan") for up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock available to grant to certain sales representatives or independent sales agents. The 2019 Sales Team Plan provides for the grant of performance-based equity, including incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. Shares covered by awards under the 2019 Sales Team Plan that expire or are terminated, surrendered, or cancelled without having been fully exercised or are forfeited in whole or in part (including as the result of shares subject to such award being repurchased by us at the original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right) or that result in any shares not being issued, will again be available for the grant of awards under the 2019 Sales Team Plan. Equity granted under the 2019 Sales Team Plan will expire ten years from the date of grant.

As of March 31, 2020, 2,775,000 shares of common stock were available for future issuance under the 2019 Sales Team Plan.

Inducement Awards

In February 2020, the Company granted an inducement award outside of the prior plans to the Company's Chief Financial Officer in the form of an option to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock with an exercise price per share equal to $0.98 and 125,000 restricted stock units. The option and restricted stock unit awards were granted as inducements material to his commencement of employment with the Company in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).

In addition, in February 2020, the Company granted an inducement award outside of the prior plans to the Company's Senior Vice President, Operations in the form of an option to purchase 66,667 shares of the Company's common stock with an exercise price per share equal to $0.98 and 61,350 restricted stock units. The option and restricted stock unit awards were granted as inducements material to his commencement of employment with the Company in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).

Stock-based compensation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using a pricing model is affected by the value of the Company’s common stock as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The valuation of the Company’s common stock prior to the IPO was performed with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm using a methodology that includes various inputs including the Company’s historical and projected financial results, peer company public data and market metrics, such as risk-free interest and discount rates. As the valuations included unobservable inputs that were primarily based on the Company’s own assumptions, the inputs were considered level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020	2019
Risk-free interest rate	1.49% - 1.63%	N/A
Expected term (in years)	6.25	N/A
Dividend yield	—%	N/A
Expected volatility	55.92%	N/A

Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options.

Expected term. The expected term of stock options represents the period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is based on the “SEC Shortcut Approach” as defined in “Share-Based Payment” (SAB 107) ASC 718-10-S99, “Compensation-Stock Compensation-Overall-SEC Materials,” which is the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. With certain stock option grants, the exercise price may exceed the fair value of the common stock. In these instances, the Company adjusts the expected term accordingly.

Dividend yield. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and, therefore, used an expected dividend yield of zero in the valuation model.

Expected volatility. Expected volatility measures the amount that a stock price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate during a period. The Company does not have sufficient history of market prices of its common stock as it is a newly public company. Therefore, the Company estimates volatility using historical volatilities of similar public entities.

Forfeitures. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Stock-based compensation expense was $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was calculated based on awards ultimately expected to vest. To date, the amount of stock-based compensation capitalized as part of inventory was not material.

The following is a summary of stock-based compensation expense (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020		2019
Cost of revenues	$	11	$	166
Sales and marketing	112		81
Research and development	134		257
General and administrative	509		644
	$	766	$	1,148

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $0.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense for options that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.57 years. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $4.7 million of total unrecognized compensation expense for restricted awards that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.11 years.

Note L—Subsequent Events

On April 17, 2020, the Company entered into an approximately $4.7 million promissory note (the “PPP Note”) with East West Bank under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA") to mitigate the negative financial and operational impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The interest rate on the PPP Note is a fixed rate of 1% per annum. The Company is required to make one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on April 9, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company will pay regular monthly payments in an amount equal to one month’s accrued interest commencing on November 9, 2020, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. All interest which accrues during the initial six months of the loan period will be deferred to and payable on the Maturity Date. According to the terms of the PPP, all or a portion of the loan may be fully forgiven if the funds are used for payroll costs (and at least 75% of the forgiven amount must have been used for payroll), interest on certain other outstanding debt, rent, and utilities. In accordance with the CARES Act, the Company intends to use the proceeds of the loan primarily for payroll costs.

Overview

We are a medical technology company that uses our proprietary iFit Image-to-Implant technology platform to develop, manufacture and sell joint replacement implants and instruments that are individually sized and shaped, which we refer to as personalized, individualized or sometimes as customized, to fit each patient’s unique anatomy. The worldwide market for joint replacement products is approximately $18.9 billion annually and growing, and we believe our iFit technology platform is applicable to all major joints in this market. We offer a broad line of personalized knee implants and instruments designed to restore the natural shape of a patient’s knee. As of December 31, 2019, we have sold a total of more than 110,000 knee implants, including more than 87,000 total knee implants and 22,000 partial knee implants. In multiple clinical studies, iTotal CR, our cruciate-retaining total knee replacement implant and best-selling product, demonstrated superior clinical outcomes, including better function, including kinematics and objective functional measures, and greater patient satisfaction compared to those of standard, or “off-the-shelf,” implants that it was tested against. In 2016, we initiated the broad commercial launch of the iTotal PS, our posterior-stabilized total knee replacement implant which addresses the largest segment of the knee replacement market. In July 2018, our first Conformis Hip Systems were implanted in a limited commercial launch. On November 11, 2019, we entered full commercial launch of the Conformis Hip System.

Our iFit technology platform comprises three key elements:


•	iFit Design, our proprietary algorithms and computer software that we use to design personalized implants and associated single-use patient-specific instrumentation, which we refer to as iJigs, based on computed tomography, or CT scans of the patient and to prepare a surgical plan personalized for the patient that we call iView.


•	iFit Printing, a three-dimensional, or 3D, printing technology that we use to manufacture iJigs and that we may extend to manufacture certain components of our personalized hip and knee replacement implants.


•	iFit Just-in-Time Delivery, our just-in-time manufacturing and delivery capabilities.

We believe our iFit technology platform enables a scalable business model that greatly lowers our inventory requirements, reduces the amount of working capital required to support our operations and allows us to launch new products and product improvements more rapidly, as compared to manufacturers of off-the-shelf implants. Manufacturers of traditional knee replacement implants offer products with a limited range of sizes and geometries, which we refer to as off-the-shelf implants. Off-the-shelf implants are not designed to restore a particular patient's unique anatomy.

All of our joint replacement products have been cleared by the FDA under the premarket notification process of Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or the FDCA, and all of our knee replacement products have received certification to CE Mark. We market our products to orthopedic surgeons, hospitals and other medical facilities and patients. We use direct sales representatives, independent sales representatives and distributors to market and sell our products in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and other markets.

We were incorporated in Delaware and commenced operations in 2004.

The following is a description of factors that may influence our results of operations, including significant trends and challenges that we believe are important to an understanding of our business and results of operations.

Revenue

Our product revenue is generated from sales to hospitals and other medical facilities that are served through a direct sales force, independent sales representatives and distributors in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Monaco, Hungary, Spain, Australia, Argentina, Benelux, United Arab Emirates, Italy and other markets. In order for surgeons to use our products, the medical facilities where these surgeons treat patients typically require us to enter into pricing agreements. The process of negotiating a pricing agreement can be lengthy and time-consuming, require extensive management time and may not be successful.

Revenue from sales of our products fluctuates principally based on the selling price of the joint replacement product, as the sales price of our products varies among hospitals and other medical facilities. In addition, our product revenue may fluctuate based on the product sales mix and mix of sales by geography. Our product revenue from international sales can be significantly impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, as our sales are denominated in the local currency in the countries in which we sell our products. We expect our product revenue to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter due to a variety of factors, including seasonality, as we have historically experienced lower sales in the summer months and around year-end, the timing of the introduction of our new products, if any, and the impact of the buying patterns and implant volumes of medical facilities.

Ongoing royalty revenue is generated from our agreement with MicroPort Orthopedics Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MicroPort Scientific Corporation, and was generated through December 31, 2017 with Wright Medical Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Wright Medical Technology, Inc. Both agreements were entered into in April 2015.

In December 2019, a human infection originating in China was traced to a novel strain of coronavirus. The virus has subsequently spread to other parts of the world, including the United States and Europe, and has caused unprecedented disruptions in the global economy as efforts to contain the spread of the virus have intensified. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared this coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) a pandemic. The future progression of the pandemic and its effects on our business and operations are highly uncertain. We have experienced significantly decreased demand for our products and expect further unpredictable and potentially significant reductions in demand for our products as healthcare providers and individuals de-prioritize and defer medical procedures that are not deemed to be a high priority, such as joint replacement procedures, which will have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition.

On March 20, 2020, we provided notice to our employees of a furlough of approximately 80 employees effective as of March 23, 2020 to help address decreased demand for our products. The furlough resulted in limited production capacity at our manufacturing facilities, but sufficient to meet demand. While we have not experienced and do not currently anticipate significant interruptions in our supply chain, extended or additional quarantines, travel restrictions and other measures may significantly impact the ability of employees of our third-party suppliers to get to their places of work to manufacture the key components and materials necessary for our products. We have experienced and may experience further shortages of mask and gown consumables used in our clean room processes, which may further limit our production capacity and further delay the joint replacement procedures in which our products are used. Our employee furlough and any delay or shortage of such components or materials or delays in delivering our products may result in our inability to satisfy consumer demand for our products in a timely manner or at all, which could harm our reputation, future sales, profitability and financial condition. On April 17, 2020, we entered into an approximately $4.7 million promissory note, or the PPP Note, with East West Bank under the Paycheck Protection Program, or the PPP offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration, or the SBA, to mitigate the negative financial and operational impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. On April 23, 2020, we accelerated a plan to return to full-time employment the vast majority of those employees who were furloughed on March 23, 2020.

We provide certain information regarding our financial results or projected financial results on a non-GAAP "constant currency basis." This information estimates the impact of changes in foreign currency rates on the translation of our current or projected future period financial results as compared to the applicable comparable period. This impact is derived by taking the adjusted current or projected local currency results and translating them into U.S. Dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable period. It does not include any other effect of changes in foreign currency rates on our results or business. Non-GAAP information is not a substitute for, and is not superior to, information presented on a GAAP basis.

This non-GAAP financial measure may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting its usefulness for comparison purposes. Moreover, presentation of revenue on a constant currency basis is provided for year-over-year comparison purposes, and investors should be cautioned that the effect of changing foreign currency exchange rates has an actual effect on our operating results. We consider the use of a period over period revenue comparison on a constant currency basis to be helpful to investors, as it provides a revenue growth measure free of positive or negative volatility due to currency fluctuations.

Cost of revenue

We produce our computer aided designs, or CAD, in-house and in India and use them to direct most of our product manufacturing efforts. We manufacture all of our patient-specific instruments, or iJigs, tibial trays used in our total knee implants, and polyethylene tibia tray inserts for our iTotal CR and our iTotal PS product, in our facility in Wilmington, Massachusetts. We polish our femoral implants used in our total and partial knee products in our facility in Wallingford, Connecticut. Starting in 2019, we began to manufacture the lateral partial tibial tray components in our facility in Wilmington, Massachusetts. We outsource the production of the remainder of the partial knee tibial components, femoral castings, and other knee and hip components to third-party suppliers. Our suppliers make our personalized implant components using the CAD designs we supply. Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs of raw materials, manufacturing personnel, outsourced CAD labor, manufacturing supplies, inbound freight, manufacturing overhead, and depreciation expense.

We calculate gross margin as revenue less cost of revenue divided by revenue. Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including primarily volume of units produced, mix of product components manufactured by us versus sourced from third parties, our average selling price, the geographic mix of sales, product sales mix, the number of cancelled sales orders resulting in wasted implants, and royalty revenue.

We expect our gross margin from the sale of our products, which excludes royalty revenue, to expand over time to the extent we are successful in continuing to reduce our manufacturing costs per unit and increasing our manufacturing efficiency as sales volume increases. We believe that areas of opportunity to expand our gross margin in the future, if and as the volume of our product sales increases, include the following:


•	absorbing overhead costs across a larger volume of product sales;


•	obtaining more favorable pricing for the materials used in the manufacture of our products;


•	obtaining more favorable pricing of certain components of our products manufactured for us by third parties;


•	increasing the proportion of certain components of our products that we manufacture in-house, which we believe we can manufacture at a lower unit cost than vendors we currently use; and


•	developing new versions of our software used in the design of our personalized joint replacement implants, which we believe will reduce costs associated with the design process.

We also continue to explore other opportunities to reduce our manufacturing costs. However, these and the above opportunities may not be realized. In addition, our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period.

Operating expenses

Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses. Personnel costs are the most significant component of operating expenses and consist of salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation, and sales commissions.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salary, employee benefits and stock-based compensation for personnel employed in sales, marketing, customer service, medical education and training, as well as investments in surgeon training programs, industry events and other promotional activities. In addition, our sales and marketing expense includes sales commissions and bonuses, generally based on a percentage of sales, to our sales managers, direct sales representatives and independent sales representatives. Recruiting, training and retaining productive sales representatives and educating surgeons about the benefits of our products are required to generate and grow revenue. We expect sales and marketing expense to increase as we build up our sales and support personnel and expand our marketing efforts. Our sales and marketing expense may fluctuate from period to period due to the seasonality of our revenue and the timing and extent of our expenses.

Research and development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salary, employee benefits and stock-based compensation for personnel employed in research and development, regulatory and clinical areas. Research and development expense also includes costs associated with product design, product refinement and improvement efforts before and after receipt of regulatory clearance, development prototypes, testing, clinical study programs and regulatory activities, contractors and consultants, and

equipment and software to support our development. As our revenue increases, we will also incur additional expenses for revenue share payments to our past and present scientific advisory board members. We expect research and development expense to increase in absolute dollars as we develop new products to expand our product pipeline, add research and development personnel and conduct clinical activities.

General and administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salary, employee benefits and stock-based compensation for our administrative personnel that support our general operations, including executive management, general legal and intellectual property, finance and accounting, information technology and human resources personnel. General and administrative expense also includes outside legal costs associated with intellectual property and general legal matters, financial audit fees, insurance, fees for other consulting services, depreciation expense, freight, and facilities expense. We expect our general and administrative expense will increase in absolute dollars as we increase our headcount and expand our infrastructure to support growth in our business and our operations. As our revenue increases, we also incur additional expenses for freight. Our general and administrative expense may fluctuate from period to period due to the timing and extent of the expenses.

Total other income (expenses), net

Total other income (expenses), net consists primarily of interest expense and amortization of debt discount associated with our term loans outstanding during the year, debt extinguishment loss, and gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions. The effect of exchange rates on our foreign currency-denominated asset and liability balances are recorded as foreign currency transaction adjustments in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Income tax provision

Income tax provision consists primarily of a provision for income taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We maintain a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets including net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits and other tax credits.

Product revenue. Product revenue was $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $4.2 million or 20%, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic forcing postponement of elective surgeries, and the denials of coverage from Aetna.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, our product revenue by geography expressed as U.S. dollar amounts, percentage of product revenue and year-over-year change (in thousands):



	2020				2019				2020 vs 2019
Three Months Ended March 31,	Amount		As a % of Product Revenue		Amount		As a % of Product Revenue		$ Change			% Change
United States	$	13,827	85	%	$	17,601	86	%	$	(3,774	)	(21	)%
Germany	1,970		12		2,464		12		(494		)	(20	)
Rest of world	493		3		404		2		89			22
Product revenue	$	16,290	100	%	$	20,469	100	%	$	(4,179	)	(20	)%

Product revenue in the United States was generated through our direct sales force and independent sales representatives. The percentage of product revenue generated in the United States was 85% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to 86% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. We believe the lower level of revenue as a percentage of product revenue inside the United States in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was due to denials of coverage from Aetna, the third largest commercial payor, the expansion of sales into additional countries, and the postponement of elective surgeries due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 is affecting all geographies.

The United States product revenue decreased $3.8 million to $13.8 million or 21% year over year. Germany product revenue decreased $0.5 million to $2.0 million, or 20% year over year on a reported basis and 19% on a constant currency basis. Rest of World product revenue increased $0.1 million to $0.5 million, or 22% year-over-year on a reported basis and 21% on a constant currency basis.

Royalty revenue. Royalty revenue was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Cost of revenue, gross profit and gross margin. Cost of revenue was $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 14%. Gross profit was $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $2.6 million or 27%. Gross margin decreased 380 basis points to 44% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from 48% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease in gross margin was driven primarily by lower sales volume, and an increase in the provision for estimated unused product related to known and potential cancelled cases, and the postponement of elective surgeries due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense was $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $1.6 million or 20%. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in commissions of $1.1 million, a $0.4 million decrease in personnel costs and a $0.1 million decrease in travel expense. Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenue was 40% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to 40% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Research and development. Research and development expense was $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $0.1 million, or 3%. The increase was due primarily to revenue share expense of $0.5 million related to selling fee adjustments in the first quarter of 2019, an increase in personnel costs of $0.1 million, partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in consulting fees, and $0.4 million in other costs. Research and development expense increased as a percentage of total revenue to 18% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

General and administrative. General and administrative expense was $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $0.4 million, or 8%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in professional services of $0.5 million relating to information technology project spend and recruiting costs. In addition, personnel costs increased $0.2 million, partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in freight expenses and a decrease of $0.1 million in legal fees. General and administrative expense increased as a percentage of total revenue to 35% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Total other income (expenses), net. Other income (expenses), net was $(1.3) million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $(1.0) million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a change of $(0.3) million. The change was primarily due to an increase in interest expense.

Income taxes. Income tax provision was $25,000 and $(9,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We continue to generate losses for U.S. federal and state tax purposes and have net operating loss carryforwards creating a deferred tax asset. We maintain a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

Liquidity, capital resources and plan of operations

Sources of liquidity and funding requirements

From our inception in June 2004 through the three months ended March 31, 2020, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements of preferred stock, our initial public offering in 2015, other equity financings, debt and convertible debt financings, equipment purchase loans, patent licensing, and product revenue beginning in 2007. We have not yet attained profitability and continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows, which adversely impacts our ability to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2020, we have an accumulated deficit of $513.5 million.

In January 2017, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 9, 2017, or the Existing Shelf Registration Statement. The Existing Shelf Registration Statement allows us to sell from time to time up to $200 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, or units comprised of any combination of these securities, for our own account in one or more offerings. On May 10, 2017, we filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement, pursuant to which we could issue and sell up to $50 million of our common stock and entered into the Distribution Agreement with Canaccord Genuity Inc., or Canaccord, pursuant to which Canaccord agreed to sell shares of our common stock from time to time, as our agent in an “at-the-market”, or ATM, offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. We are not obligated to sell any number of shares under the Distribution Agreement. As of March 31, 2020, we had sold 1,870,069 shares under the Distribution Agreement resulting in net proceeds of $3.6 million.

On March 23, 2020, we filed a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 or the New Shelf Registration Statement. Once the New Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Existing Shelf Registration Statement will expire. Under the New Shelf Registration Statement, we will be permitted to sell from time to time up to $200 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, or units comprised of any combination of these securities, for its own account in one or more offerings. The New Shelf Registration Statement is intended to provide us flexibility to conduct sales of its registered securities, subject to market conditions and our future capital needs. The terms of any offering under the New Shelf Registration Statement will be established at the time of such offering and will be described in a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC prior to the completion of any such offering.

On December 17, 2018, we entered into a stock purchase agreement, or the "Stock Purchase Agreement," with Lincoln Park Capital, or "LPC." Upon entering into the Stock Purchase Agreement, we sold 1,921,968 shares of common stock for $1.0 million to LPC, representing a premium of 110% to the previous day's closing price. As consideration for LPC’s commitment to purchase shares of common stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement, we issued 354,430 shares to LPC. We have the right at our sole discretion to sell to LPC up to $20.0 million worth of shares over a 36-month period subject to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. We will control the timing of any sales to LPC and LPC will be obligated to make purchases of our common stock upon receipt of requests from us in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. There are no upper limits to the price per share LPC may pay to purchase the up to $20.0 million worth of common stock subject to the Stock Purchase Agreement, and the purchase price of the shares will be based on the then prevailing market prices of our shares at the time of each sale to LPC as described in the Stock Purchase Agreement, provided that LPC will not be obligated to make purchases of our common stock pursuant to receipt of a request from us on any business day on which the last closing trade price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (or alternative national exchange in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement) is below a floor price of $0.25 per share. No warrants, derivatives, financial or business covenants are associated with the Stock Purchase Agreement and LPC has agreed not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of shares of our common stock. The Stock Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time, at our sole discretion, without any cost or penalty. As of March 31, 2020, we have sold 2,921,268 shares under the Stock Purchase Agreement resulting in proceeds of $2.2 million.

On June 25, 2019, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement or the "2019 Secured Loan Agreement" with Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP or "Innovatus", as collateral agent and lender, East West Bank and the other lenders party thereto from time to time, or "Lenders," pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to make term loans and a revolving credit facility to the Company to repay existing indebtedness, for working capital and general business purposes, in a principal amount of up to $30 million. We used the proceeds from the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement to pay off the $15 million term loan from Oxford Finance LLC. In addition, Innovatus purchased approximately $3 million of our common stock at the previous day's closing price. For further information regarding the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement, see "Note I—Debt and Notes Payable " in the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

On September 30, 2019, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Howmedica Osteonics Corp., a subsidiary of Stryker Corporation also known as Stryker Orthopaedics, or Stryker. In connection with entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a Development Agreement, a License Agreement, and other ancillary agreements contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement with Stryker. Under the terms of the agreements, we agreed to sell and license to Stryker certain assets relating to the Company's patient-specific instrumentation technology, and to develop, manufacture, and supply patient-specific instrumentation for use in connection with Stryker's "off-the-shelf" non-personalized knee implant offerings. We received $14 million upfront and will receive up to an additional $16 million in milestone payments pursuant to the License Agreement and the Development Agreement. As of March 31, 2020, we successfully completed the first out of three milestones with Stryker and received $2.0 million for achievement of this milestone. Under the long-term Distribution Agreement, we will supply patient-specific instrumentation to Stryker. We may be required to pay back a portion of the initial payment as it is contingent on successful completion of milestones set forth in the Development Agreement and License Agreement.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States. On April 17, 2020, we entered into an approximately $4.7 million promissory note, or the PPP Note, with East West Bank as the lender under the PPP offered by the SBA, to mitigate the negative financial and operational impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The interest rate on the PPP Note is a fixed rate of 1% per annum. We are required to make one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on April 9, 2022, or the Maturity Date. We will pay regular monthly payments in an amount equal to one month’s accrued interest commencing on November 9, 2020, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. All interest which accrues during the initial six months of the loan period will be deferred to and payable on the Maturity Date. According to the terms of the PPP, all or a portion of the loan may be fully forgiven if the funds are used for payroll costs (and at least 75% of the forgiven amount must have been used for payroll), interest on certain other outstanding debt, rent, and utilities. In accordance with the CARES Act, we intend to use the proceeds of the loan primarily for payroll costs.

As of March 31, 2020, we were not in breach of covenants under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement. However, we do not expect to satisfy the trailing six months' revenue covenant at the end of June 2020, which may be an event of default under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement unless a new financial plan, which would include the sale and issuance of equity securities, is agreed upon between parties within a 60-day cure period after June 30, 2020. If we fail to meet such revenue covenant as of June 30, 2020 and the parties fail to agree upon a new financial plan within the 60-day cure period after June 30, 2020, Innovatus would be permitted to exercise remedies against us and our assets, including charging interest at the rate that is otherwise applicable plus 5.0%, taking control of our cash and commencing foreclosure proceedings on our other assets. We are in initial discussions with Innovatus with the goal of adjusting the revenue covenants as provided for under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement, but there can be no guarantee that these discussions will be successful. If we are unsuccessful in our discussions with Innovatus, we would need to refinance this debt prior to Innovatus exercising remedies against us in order to prevent such exercise of remedies. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, or at all. This condition raises substantial doubt that we will continue as a going concern.

We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future in connection with the following:


•	expansion of our sales and marketing efforts;


•	expansion of our manufacturing capacity;


•	funding research, development and clinical activities related to our existing products and product platform, including iFit design software and product support;


•	funding research, development and clinical activities related to new products that we may develop, including other joint replacement products;


•	pursuing and maintaining appropriate regulatory clearances and approvals for our existing products and any new products that we may develop; and


•	preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, and maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and position.

We anticipate that our principal sources of funds in the future will be revenue generated from the sales of our products, including the successful full commercial launch of the Conformis Hip System, successful completion of the development milestones set forth in the Development Agreement and License Agreement milestones, potential payments from Stryker pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, available sales of shares under the Distribution Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement, available borrowings under the revolving credit facility, potential future capital raises through the issuance of equity or other securities, debt financings, and revenues that we may generate in connection with licensing our intellectual property. Additionally, in order for us to meet our operating plan, gross margin improvements and operating expense reductions will be necessary to reduce cash used in operations. We will need to generate significant additional revenue to achieve and maintain profitability, and even if we achieve profitability, we cannot be sure that we will remain profitable for any substantial period of time. It is also possible that we may allocate significant amounts of capital toward products or technologies for which market demand is lower than anticipated and, as a result, abandon such efforts. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, or if we expend capital on projects that are not successful, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, and we may even have to scale back our operations. Our failure to become and remain profitable could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, maintain our research and development efforts or continue to fund our operations.

We may need to engage in additional equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the future sales of equity or debt, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted. The terms of these future or debt securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing common stockholders or involve negative covenants that restrict our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt or making capital expenditures.

At March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $21.5 million and $0.5 million in restricted cash allocated to lease deposits. Based on our current operating plan, we expect to fund our operations, capital expenditure requirements and debt service with existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020, anticipated revenue from operations, the successful completion of the milestones set forth in the Development Agreement and License Agreement, revenue that may be generated in connection with licensing its intellectual property, available sales of shares under the Distribution Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement, and available borrowings under the revolving credit facility. We have based this expectation on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, such as the revenue that we expect to generate from the sale of our products, the gross profit we expect to generate from those revenues, any reduction in operating expenses in 2020, the fact that we could use our capital resources sooner than we expect, and our ability to adjust the revenue covenants under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted and will continue to impact our business, operations and financial condition. As part of our response to COVID-19, we took certain measures in preserving liquidity. In addition to the furlough that we have implemented, we have eliminated, reduced, or are deferring significant non-essential expense including sales, marketing, quality, clinical, regulatory and all general and administrative expense. Non-essential programs have been eliminated or deferred where possible. In addition, we are working with suppliers to help match future revenue and expense.

Contractual obligations and commitments

There have not been any material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 other than changes in our debt facilities as disclosed in Note I—Debt and Notes Payable in the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue share agreements

We are party to revenue share agreements with certain past and present members of our scientific advisory board under which these advisors agreed to participate on our scientific advisory board and to assist with the development of our personalized implant products and related intellectual property. These agreements provide that we will pay the advisor a specified percentage of our net revenue, ranging from 0.1% to 1.33%, with respect to our products on which the advisor made a technical contribution or, in some cases, which we covered by a claim of one of or patents on which the advisor is a named inventor. The specific percentage is determined by reference to product classifications set forth in the agreement and is tiered based on the level of net revenue collected by us on such product sales. Our payment obligations under these agreements typically expire a fixed number of years after expiration or termination of the agreement, but in some cases expire on a product-by-product basis or expiration of the last to expire of our patents where the advisor is a named inventor that claims the applicable product.

The aggregate revenue share percentage of net revenue from our currently marketed knee replacement products, including percentages under revenue share agreements with all of our scientific advisory board members, ranges, depending on the particular product, from 3.4% to 5.8%. We incurred aggregate revenue share expense including all amounts payable under our scientific advisory board revenue share agreements of $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, representing 3.3% of product revenue, and $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, representing 3.5% of product revenue. Revenue share expense is included in research and development. For further information, see “Note H—Commitments and Contingencies ” to the consolidated financial statements appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Segment information

We have one primary business activity and operate as one reportable segment.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

Through March 31, 2020, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Critical accounting policies and significant judgments and use of estimates

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our preparation of these financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The accounting estimates that require our most significant estimates include revenue recognition, accounts receivable valuation, inventory valuations, purchase accounting, impairment assessments, equity instruments, stock compensation, income tax reserves and related allowances, the lives of property and equipment, and valuation of right-of-use lease assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies are more fully described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical accounting policies and significant judgments and use of estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to routine risk of litigation, claims and administrative proceedings on a variety of matters, including patent infringement, product liability, securities-related claims, and other claims in the United States and in other countries where we sell our products.

On August 15, 2019, we filed a lawsuit against Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. and Zimmer, Inc., or “Zimmer Biomet,” in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking damages for Zimmer Biomet’s infringement of certain of our patents related to patient-specific instrument and implant systems. The complaint alleges that Zimmer Biomet’s multiple lines of patient-specific instruments, as well as the implant components used in conjunction with them, infringe four of our patents. The accused product lines include Zimmer Biomet patient-specific instrument and implant systems for knee, shoulder, and hip replacement procedures.

On November 5, 2019, Zimmer Biomet filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that we infringe five patents owned by Zimmer Biomet. Zimmer Biomet alleges that our iTotal CR and iTotal PS products infringe all five asserted patents, that our iDuo product infringes three of the asserted patents, and that our iUni product infringes two of the asserted patents. On January 13, 2020, Zimmer Biomet filed a motion to dismiss our complaint, and we filed our answer to Zimmer Biomet’s complaint, denying that our products infringe Zimmer Biomet’s asserted patents. Our answer also alleges that Zimmer Biomet’s asserted patents are invalid. On March 27, 2020, the court entered a stay in both lawsuits pursuant to a joint motion to stay filed by Conformis and Zimmer Biomet, and on April 13, 2020, the court extended the stay through April 30, 2020, pursuant to a joint motion to extend the stay filed by Conformis and Zimmer Biomet, and on May 4, 2020, the court extended the stay through May 15, 2020, pursuant to a joint motion to extend the stay filed by Conformis and Zimmer Biomet.

On August 29, 2019, we filed a lawsuit against Medacta USA, Inc., or “Medacta,” in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and we amended our complaint on December 23, 2019, seeking damages for Medacta’s infringement of certain of our patents related to patient-specific instrument and implant systems. We allege in the lawsuit that Medacta’s multiple lines of patient-specific instruments, as well as the implant components used in conjunction with them, infringe four of our patents. The accused product lines include Medacta patient-specific instrument and implant systems for knee and shoulder replacement procedures. On January 6, 2020, Medacta filed its answer, denying that its patient-specific instrument and implant systems infringe the patents asserted by us. Medacta’s answer also alleges the affirmative defense that our asserted patents are invalid. Discovery is proceeding in the lawsuit.

On March 20, 2020, Osteoplastics LLC, or "Osteoplastics" filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and Osteoplastics amended its complaint on April 2, 2020, alleging that we infringe seven patents owned by Osteoplastics. Osteoplastics alleges that our proprietary software, including our iFit software platform, and our use of our proprietary software for designing and manufacturing medical devices, including implants, infringes the seven asserted patents.

On April 24, 2020, we filed a lawsuit against Wright Medical Technology, Inc. and Tornier, Inc., or “Wright Medical,” in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking damages for Wright Medical’s infringement of certain of our patents related to patient-specific instrument and implant systems. The complaint alleges that Wright Medical’s multiple lines of patient-specific shoulder instruments, as well as the implant components used in conjunction with them, infringe four of our patents. The accused product lines include Wright Medical’s Tornier Blueprint™ 3D Planning + PSI shoulder replacement systems.

On May 8, 2020, we and an individual plaintiff filed a lawsuit against Aetna, Inc. and Aetna Life Insurance Company or “Aetna” in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts seeking damages for Aetna’s improper denial of coverage for personalized knee implants under its health plans and the ones it administers. The complaint alleges that Aetna has violated its duties under state and federal law, including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

Adverse outcomes of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We are presently unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits or to reasonably estimate a range of potential losses, if any, related to the lawsuits.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The following description of risk factors consists of updates to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”). For a detailed discussion of the other risks that affect our business, please refer to the entire section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K. Risk factors and other information included in our Form 10-Q should be carefully considered. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we presently deem less significant may also impair our business operations. Please see page 28 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of some of the forward-looking statements that are qualified by these risk factors. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the response to it have reduced demand for our products, and as a result we have reduced our operations and production capacity, and these circumstances may have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition.

In December 2019, an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus began in Wuhan, China. As of May 8, 2020, that outbreak has led to more than 3.8 million confirmed cases worldwide, with many countries throughout the world confirming cases. The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak a pandemic and a global public health emergency. In addition to those who have been directly affected, millions more have been affected by government efforts in the United States, the European Union and around the world to slow the spread of the pandemic through quarantines, travel restrictions, heightened border scrutiny and other measures. The pandemic and measures taken in response by governments, private industry, individuals and others have also had significant direct and indirect adverse impacts on businesses and commerce as supply chains have been disrupted; facilities and production have been suspended; and demand for certain goods and services has spiked, while demand for other goods and services has decreased significantly.

The future progression of the pandemic and its effects on our business and operations are highly uncertain. We have experienced significantly decreased demand for our products and expect further unpredictable and potentially significant reductions in demand for our products as healthcare providers and individuals de-prioritize and defer medical procedures that are not deemed to be a high priority, such as joint replacement procedures, which will have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition. Additionally, as a result of these reductions in demand, we anticipate that we may not be able to meet the trailing six months’ revenue test under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement. We are initiating discussions with Innovatus with the goal of adjusting the revenue covenants as provided for under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement, but there can be no guarantee that these discussions will be successful. For more information regarding the risks related to our 2019 Secured Loan Agreement, see “Risk Factors--Risks related to our financial position--Our existing and any future indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to operate our business” in our Form 10-K.

On March 20, 2020, we provided notice to our employees of a furlough of approximately 80 employees effective as of March 23, 2020 to help address decreased demand for our products. The furlough resulted in limited production capacity at our manufacturing facilities, but sufficient to meet expected demand. While we do not currently anticipate significant interruptions in our supply chain, extended or additional quarantines, travel restrictions and other measures may significantly impact the ability of employees of our third-party suppliers to get to their places of work to manufacture the key components and materials necessary for our products. We have experienced and may experience further shortages of mask and gown consumables used in our clean room processes, which may further limit our production capacity and further delay the joint replacement procedures in which our products are used. Our employee furlough and any delay or shortage of such components or materials or delays in delivering our products may result in our inability to satisfy consumer demand for our products in a timely manner or at all, which could harm our reputation, future sales, profitability and financial condition. On April 23, 2020, we accelerated a plan to return to full-time employment the vast majority of those employees who were furloughed on March 23, 2020.

The coronavirus pandemic continues to rapidly evolve. There may be other material adverse impacts on our business, operations and financial condition that are unpredictable at this time, including delays in the development and regulatory approval of new products and difficulties in retaining qualified personnel, sales representatives and distributors during the pandemic. The extent to which the pandemic may impact our business will depend on future developments, such as the duration of the pandemic, quarantines, travel restrictions and other measures in the United States, the European Union and around the world, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain the pandemic.

We expect to fail to satisfy a revenue covenant under our 2019 Secured Loan Agreement with Innovatus at the end of June 2020, which would constitute an event of default and permit Innovatus to exercise remedies against us and our assets, including charging additional interest, taking control of our cash and commencing foreclosure proceedings on our other assets.

Under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement, we are subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue covenants. Due to the reductions in demand for our products as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we do not expect to satisfy the trailing six months' revenue covenant at the end of June 2020, which may be an event of default under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement unless a new financial plan, which would include the sale and issuance of equity securities, is agreed upon between parties within a 60 day cure period after June 30, 2020. We are in initial discussions with Innovatus with the goal of adjusting the revenue covenants under the 2019 Secured Loan Agreement, but there can be no guarantee that these discussions will be successful.

If we fail to meet this revenue covenant as of June 30, 2020 and the parties fail to agree upon a new financial plan within the 60 day cure period after June 30, 2020, Innovatus would be permitted to exercise remedies against us and our assets, including charging interest at the rate that is otherwise applicable plus 5.0%, taking control of our cash and commencing foreclosure proceedings on our other assets. If we are unsuccessful in our discussions with Innovatus, we would need to refinance this debt prior to Innovatus exercising remedies against us in order to prevent such exercise of remedies. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, or at all.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In light of our current operating plan and the various other factors, including the uncertainty that we will be successful in our discussions with Innovatus, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern.
