1. General

Colfax Corporation (the “Company” or “Colfax”) is a leading diversified technology company that provides fabrication technology and medical device products and services to customers around the world, principally under the ESAB and DJO brands. The Company conducts its operations through two operating segments, “Fabrication Technology”, which incorporates the operations of ESAB and its related brands, and “Medical Technology”, which incorporates the operations of DJO and its related brands.

On March 4, 2021, the Company announced its intention to separate its fabrication technology and specialty medical technology businesses into two differentiated, independent, and publicly traded companies. The current Colfax entity will retain the specialty medical technology business under a new name, while the fabrication technology business will operate independently under the existing ESAB brand name. The separation is intended to be structured in a tax-free manner and is targeted to be completed in the first quarter of 2022. The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the fabrication technology businesses are included in continuing operations of the Company in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the SEC’s rules and regulations for interim financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on February 18, 2021.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods indicated. Intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company makes certain estimates and assumptions in preparing its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

In the normal course of business, the Company incurs research and development costs related to new product development which are expensed as incurred and included in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Research and development costs were $21.3 million and $41.2 million during the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, respectively, and $14.1 million and $32.6 million during the three and six months ended July 3, 2020, respectively.

During the three months ended July 2, 2021, the Company used the proceeds from its March 2021 equity offering to redeem all $600 million of its 2024 senior notes and $100 million of outstanding principal on its 2026 senior notes. The Company paid an early redemption premium of $24.4 million and recorded a loss on the extinguishment of $29.9 million. Additionally, during the three months ended July 2, 2021, a pension settlement gain of $11.2 million was recognized when the independent trustees of a company pension plan agreed to merge that plan with another company pension plan and contribute its surplus assets.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 2, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the full year. Quarterly results are affected by seasonal variations in the Company’s businesses, and European operations typically experience a slowdown during the July, August and December holiday seasons. Medical Technology sales typically peak in the fourth quarter. General economic conditions may, however, impact future seasonal variations.

pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis, and the resulting impact on governments, businesses and individuals and actions taken by them in response to the situation have resulted in widespread economic disruptions, significantly affecting broader economies, financial markets, and overall demand for the Company’s products. In 2021, these impacts continue to be observed, though to a lesser extent than 2020, primarily as a result of broadening access to COVID-19 vaccines and gradual relaxing of some government-mandated restrictions. The COVID-19 outbreak has caused increased uncertainty in estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the extent and period of recovery from the COVID-19 outbreak and related economic disruption are difficult to forecast. Furthermore, the historical seasonality trends have been disrupted by the commercial impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Accounting Guidance Implemented in 2021

Standard

Description

Effective Date

ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans

The ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

January 1, 2021

ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

The ASU eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

January 1, 2021

3. Discontinued Operations

The Company retained certain asbestos-related contingencies and insurance coverages from divested businesses for which it did not retain an interest in the ongoing operations subject to the contingencies. The Company has classified asbestos-related selling, general and administrative activity in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as part of Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes. Asbestos-related costs, net of taxes were $1.6 million and $2.5 million during the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, respectively, and $1.4 million and $2.8 million during the three and six months ended July 3, 2020, respectively. See Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies” for further information.

The Company also recorded Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes of $0.1 million and $6.6 million during the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, respectively, and $3.5 million and $5.5 million during the three and six months ended July 3, 2020, respectively, related to its divested air and gas handling business, including a settlement executed in the first quarter of 2021, as well as certain professional, legal, and consulting fees in 2020.

Cash used in operating activities related to discontinued operations for the six months ended July 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020 was $4.6 million and $7.9 million, respectively.

4. Acquisitions

The Company completed one acquisition in its Fabrication Technology segment and three acquisitions in its Medical Technology segment during the six months ended July 2, 2021 for total consideration, net of cash received, of $215.9 million. The acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position and results of operations from the respective acquisition date. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 2, 2021 reflects our preliminary estimates of fair value and are subject to adjustment. The Company also made two investments in medical technology businesses during the six months ended July 2, 2021 for a total of $14.8 million. Both investments are carried at cost, as they do not have a readily determinable fair value.

In the first quarter of 2021 the Medical Technology segment acquired Trilliant Surgical (“Trilliant”), a national provider of foot and ankle orthopedic implants. The product technologies of Trilliant support the Medical Technology segment’s focused expansion into the adjacent foot and ankle market. Trilliant has a broad product portfolio that covers the full universe of foot reconstructive and fixation procedures, and includes the novel Arsenal Foot Plating System, designed for greater flexibility and speed of implant placement. In the second quarter of 2021, the Medical Technology segment acquired MedShape, Inc.

(“MedShape”), a provider of innovative surgical solutions for foot and ankle surgeons using its patented superelastic nickel titanium (NiTiNOL) and shape memory polymer technologies. This acquisition further expands the Company's foot and ankle platform. These two acquisitions were completed for total consideration, net of cash received, of $205.4 million, subject to certain adjustments. Net working capital and intangible assets acquired represent 9% and 47% of the total consideration paid for these two acquisitions, respectively, with the residual amount primarily attributable to Goodwill. The Goodwill acquired in the Trilliant acquisition is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The estimated proforma annual revenues, as if the Trilliant and MedShape acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2021, are approximately 1% of Colfax’s consolidated revenues.

In addition, on June 7, 2021, the Company entered a definitive agreement to acquire Mathys AG Bettlach (“Mathys”) for total acquisition consideration of approximately $285 million, expected to be financed with Colfax common stock. Mathys, a Switzerland-based company, develops and distributes innovative products for artificial joint replacement, synthetic bone graft solutions, and sports medicine. The acquisition expands the Medical Technology segment’s reconstructive product portfolio with Mathys’ complimentary surgical solutions and international customer base. The transaction is expected to close on July 28, 2021 subsequent to the filing of this Form 10-Q, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions.

5. Revenue

The Company’s Fabrication Technology segment formulates, develops, manufactures and supplies consumable products and equipment.

Given the nature of the Fabrication Technology and Medical Technology businesses, the total amount of unsatisfied performance obligations with an original contract duration of greater than one year as of July 2, 2021 is immaterial.

The nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise to certain types of variable consideration, including rebates, implicit price concessions, and other discounts. The Company includes estimated amounts of variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable there will not be a significant reversal of revenue.

In some circumstances, customers are billed in advance of revenue recognition, resulting in contract liabilities. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, total contract liabilities were $36.6 million and $14.8 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year was $5.1 million and $19.4 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended July 3, 2020, revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year was $3.8 million and $8.7 million, respectively. As of July 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020, total contract liabilities were $33.5 million and $33.1 million, respectively, and were included in Accrued liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract liabilities as of July 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020 include $9.9 million and $11.8 million of certain one-time advance payments in the Medical Technology business, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company’s estimate of current expected credit losses on trade receivables considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In calculating and applying its current expected credit losses, the Company disaggregates trade receivables into business segments due to risk characteristics unique to each segment given the individual lines of business and market. The business segments are further disaggregated based on either geography or product type.

The Company uses a loss rate methodology in calculating its current expected credit losses, leveraging historical write-offs over a defined lookback period in deriving a historical loss rate. The expected credit loss model further considers current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts using an adjustment for current and projected macroeconomic factors. Management identified appropriate macroeconomic indicators based on tangible correlation to historical losses considering the location and risks associated with the Company.

A summary of the activity in the Company’s allowance for credit losses included within Trade receivables in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets is as follows:


	Six Months Ended July 2, 2021

6. Net Income (Loss) Per Share from Continuing Operations

Net income per share from continuing operations was computed as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Net income (loss) per share from continuing operations – diluted	$	0.19	$	(0.03)	$	0.38	$	0.03

(1) Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Colfax Corporation for the respective periods is calculated using Net income (loss) from continuing operations less the income attributable to noncontrolling interest, net of taxes, of $1.1 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, respectively, and $0.4 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2020, respectively.

For all periods presented, the weighted-average shares of Common stock outstanding - basic includes the impact of 18.4 million shares related to the issuance of Colfax’s tangible equity units. During the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, conversions of the Company’s tangible equity units resulted in the issuance of approximately 6.2 million and 6.5 million shares of Colfax common stock, respectively. The issued shares are included in the Common stock issued and outstanding as July 2, 2021. For the six months ended July 3, 2020, the weighted-average shares of Common stock outstanding - diluted includes the impact of an additional 1.9 million potentially issuable dilutive shares related to Colfax’s tangible equity units as a result of the Company’s share price in March 2020. See Note 8, “Equity” for details.

The weighted-average computation of the dilutive effect of potentially issuable shares of Common stock under the treasury stock method for the three and six months ended July 2, 2021 excludes 1.6 million and 1.3 million, respectively, of outstanding stock-based compensation awards as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The weighted-average computation of the dilutive effect of potentially issuable shares of Common stock under the treasury stock method for the three and six months ended July 3, 2020 excludes 4.9 million and 4.2 million, respectively, of outstanding stock-based compensation awards as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

7. Income Taxes

During the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $39.5 million and $75.1 million, respectively, while the income tax expense was $8.2 million and $16.1 million, respectively. The effective tax rates were 20.7% and 21.4% for the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, respectively, which both differed slightly from the 2021 U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% mainly due to the effective settlements on uncertain tax positions and U.S. tax credits, offset by withholding taxes, U.S. tax on international operations, and other non-deductible expenses.

During the three and six months ended July 3, 2020, Loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $33.2 million and $11.2 million, respectively, while the income tax benefit was $30.1 million and $16.9 million, respectively. The effective tax rates were 90.5% and 151.3% for the three and six months ended July 3, 2020, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 3, 2020 differed from the 2020 U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% mainly due to the net impact of U.S. tax credits and state taxes on the forecasted rate and a $6.8 million discrete tax benefit associated with the filing of timely elected changes to U.S. Federal tax returns to credit rather than to deduct foreign taxes and the realization of tax benefits associated with effective settlements on uncertain tax positions. These favorable impacts were partially offset by the impact of additional U.S. tax on international operations and taxable foreign exchange gains. The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 3, 2020 differed from the 2020 U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% mainly due to the net impact of U.S. tax credits and state taxes on the forecasted rate and the previously mentioned discrete tax benefit associated with the filing of timely elected changes to U.S. Federal tax returns to credit rather than to deduct foreign taxes, the impact of an enacted law change in India, and the realization of tax benefits associated with effective settlements on uncertain tax positions. These favorable impacts were partially offset by the impact of additional U.S. tax on international operations and taxable foreign exchange gains. Income taxes for the six months ended July 3, 2020 were calculated forecasting an estimated annual effective tax rate for the full year. Income taxes for the three months ended July 3, 2020 were calculated forecasting an estimated annual effective tax rate for the full year less the income tax expense for the period ended April 3, 2020. In conjunction with the filing of the timely elected changes to credit rather than to deduct foreign taxes, the Company obtained additional foreign tax credit carryforwards. The Company evaluated all positive and negative evidence in determining the realizability of these deferred tax assets and based on such evidence, concluded a full valuation allowance was needed.

Tangible equity unit (“TEU”) offering

On January 11, 2019, the Company issued 4.6 million TEUs at the stated amount of $100 per unit. Net cash of $447.7 million was received upon closing. A portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the TEUs were allocated initially to equity (the “TEU prepaid stock purchase contract”) and debt (the “TEU amortizing notes”) based on the relative fair value of the respective components of each TEU. See Note 10, “Debt ” for further information regarding the TEU amortizing notes.

TEU prepaid stock purchase contracts

Unless previously settled at the holder’s option, for each purchase contract the Company will deliver to holders on January 15, 2022 (subject to postponement in certain limited circumstances, the “mandatory settlement date”) a number of shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon settlement of each purchase contract (the “settlement rate”) will be determined using the arithmetic average of the volume average weighted price for the 20 consecutive trading days beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately preceding January 15, 2022 (“the Applicable Market Value”) with reference to the following settlement rates:

•if the Applicable Market Value of the common stock is greater than the threshold appreciation price of $25.00, the holder will receive 4.0000 shares of common stock for each purchase contract (the “minimum settlement rate”);

•if the Applicable Market Value of the common stock is greater than or equal to the reference price of $20.81, but less than or equal to the threshold appreciation price of $25.00, the holder will receive a number of shares of common stock for each purchase contract having a value, based on the Applicable Market Value, equal to $100; and

•if the Applicable Market Value of the common stock is less than the reference price of $20.81, the holder will receive 4.8054 shares of common stock for each purchase contract (the “maximum settlement rate”).

Earnings per share

Unless the TEU stock purchase contracts are redeemed by the Company or settled earlier at the unit holder’s option, they are mandatorily convertible into shares of Colfax common stock at not less than 4.0 shares per purchase contract or more than 4.8054 shares per purchase contract on January 15, 2022. This corresponds to not less than 18.4 million shares and not more than 22.1 million shares at the maximum. The 18.4 million minimum shares are included in the calculation of weighted-average shares of Common stock outstanding - basic. The difference between the minimum and maximum shares represents potentially dilutive securities. The Company includes them in its calculation of weighted-average shares of Common stock outstanding - diluted on a pro rata basis to the extent the effect is not anti-dilutive and the average Applicable Market Value is higher than the reference price but is less than the threshold appreciation price. During the three and six months ended July 2,

12. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of financial instruments, including Trade receivables and Accounts payable, approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The $1.6 billion and $2.3 billion estimated fair value of the Company’s debt as of July 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, was based on current interest rates for similar types of borrowings and is in Level Two of the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could be realized as of the balance sheet date or that will be realized in the future.

A summary of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value for each fair value hierarchy level for the periods presented is as follows:

13. Commitments and Contingencies

For further description of the Company’s litigation and contingencies, reference is made to Note 18, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K. Since the Company did not retain an interest in the ongoing operations of its divested businesses, the retained asbestos-related activity has been classified in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes.

Asbestos Contingencies

Asbestos-related claims activity since December 31 is as follows:


	Six Months Ended
	July 2, 2021	July 3, 2020
	(Number of claims)
Claims unresolved, beginning of period	14,809	16,299
Claims filed(1)	2,178	1,869
Claims resolved(2)	(1,607)	(1,310)
Claims unresolved, end of period	15,380	16,858

(1) Claims filed include all asbestos claims for which notification has been received or a file has been opened.

(2) Claims resolved include all asbestos claims that have been settled, dismissed or that are in the process of being settled or dismissed based upon agreements or understandings in place with counsel for the claimants.

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included the following amounts related to asbestos-related litigation:


	July 2, 2021		December 31, 2020
	(In thousands)

Long-term asbestos insurance asset(1)	$	230,160	$	232,712
Long-term asbestos insurance receivable(1)	23,591		31,815
Accrued asbestos liability(2)	45,640		41,626
Long-term asbestos liability(3)	245,591		253,144

(1) Included in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2) Represents current accruals for probable and reasonably estimable asbestos-related liability costs that the Company believes the subsidiaries will pay, and unpaid legal costs related to defending themselves against asbestos-related liability claims and legal action against the Company’s insurers, which is included in Accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(3) Included in Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Management’s analyses are based on currently known facts and assumptions. Projecting future events, such as new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of resolving each claim, coverage issues among layers of insurers, the method in which losses will be allocated to the various insurance policies, interpretation of the effect on coverage of various policy terms and limits and their interrelationships, the continuing solvency of various insurance companies, the amount of remaining insurance available, as well as the numerous uncertainties inherent in asbestos litigation could cause the actual liabilities and insurance recoveries to be higher or lower than those projected or recorded which could materially affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

General Litigation

The Company is involved in other pending legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of the Company’s business. None of these legal proceedings are expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flow of the Company. With respect to these proceedings and the litigation and claims described in the preceding paragraphs, management of the Company believes that it will either prevail, has adequate insurance coverage or has established appropriate accruals to cover potential liabilities. Any costs that management estimates may be paid related to these proceedings or claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There can be no assurance, however, as to the ultimate outcome of any of these matters, and if all or substantially all of these legal proceedings were to be determined adverse to the Company, there could be a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flow of the Company.

Overview

Please see Part I, Item 1. “Business” in our 2020 Form 10-K for a discussion of Colfax’s objectives and methodologies for delivering shareholder value.

Colfax conducts its operations through two operating segments: Fabrication Technology and Medical Technology.

•Fabrication Technology - a leading global supplier of consumable products and equipment for use in the cutting, joining and automated welding, as well as gas control equipment, providing a wide range of products with innovative technologies to solve challenges in a wide range of industries.

Certain amounts not allocated to the two reportable segments and intersegment eliminations are reported under the heading “Corporate and other.”

We have a global footprint, with production facilities in Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Australia and Africa. We serve a global customer base across multiple markets through a combination of direct sales and third-party distribution channels. Our customer base is highly diversified in the medical and industrial end markets.

Integral to our operations is Colfax Business System (“CBS”), our business management system. CBS is our culture and includes our values and behaviors, a comprehensive set of tools, and repeatable, teachable processes that we use to drive continuous improvement and create superior value for our customers, shareholders and associates. We believe that our management team’s access to, and experience in, the application of the CBS methodology is one of our primary competitive strengths.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of Results of Operations addresses the comparison of the periods presented. Our management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon Net sales, Segment operating income, which represents Operating income before Restructuring and other related charges and European Union Medical Devices Regulation (“MDR”) costs, and Adjusted EBITA as defined in the “Non-GAAP Measures” section.

Items Affecting Comparability of Reported Results

The comparability of our operating results for the three and six months ended July 2, 2021 to the comparable periods in 2020 is affected by the following additional significant items:

Recent Events

During the second quarter of 2021, we used the proceeds from our March 2021 equity offering to redeem all $600 million of our 2024 senior notes and $100 million of outstanding principal on our 2026 senior notes. We paid an early redemption premium of $24.4 million and recorded a loss on the extinguishment of $29.9 million. Additionally, we recognized a pension settlement gain of $11.2 million when the independent trustees of a company pension plan agreed to merge that plan with another company pension plan and contribute its surplus assets.

The Separation

We currently report our operations through our Fabrication Technology and Medical Technology segments. These businesses operate in distinct markets, with unique business opportunities and investment requirements. On March 4, 2021, we announced the intention to separate these businesses into two differentiated, independent publicly traded companies (the “Separation”). The Chairman of our board of directors and co-founder of Colfax, Mitchell P. Rales, is expected to serve on the boards of directors of both companies.

We expect that the Separation will allow each company to: (1) optimize capital allocation for internal investment, mergers and acquisitions, and return of capital to shareholders; (2) tailor investment to its specific business profile and strategic priorities in the most efficient manner possible; (3) increase operating flexibility and resources to capitalize on growth opportunities in its respective markets; and (4) improve both investor alignment with its clear value proposition and the ability for investors to value it based on its distinct strategic, operational and financial characteristics. The Separation would also provide each company with an appropriately valued acquisition currency that could be used for larger, transformational transactions.

We continue to make progress on the Separation and are targeting its completion in the first quarter of 2022. Completion of the Separation is subject to, among other things, completion of financing and other transactions on satisfactory terms, other steps necessary to qualify the Separation as a tax-free transaction, receipt of regulatory approvals, a favorable tax opinion and/or IRS ruling and final approval from our board of directors. There can be no assurance regarding the form and timing of the Separation or its completion. Details regarding the Separation will be included in our future filings with the SEC.

Please see Part II. Items 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the Company’s risks relating to the Separation.

The COVID-19 Pandemic

In December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was first reported in China. On March 11, 2020, due to worldwide spread of the virus, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The COVID-19 global pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis, and the resulting impact on governments, businesses and individuals and actions taken by them in response to the situation resulted in widespread economic disruptions in 2020, significantly affecting broader economies, financial markets, and overall demand for our products.

In an effort to protect the health and safety of our employees, we have taken actions to adopt social distancing policies at our locations around the world, including working from home, reducing the number of people in our sites at any one time, and suspending or restricting employee travel. In an effort to contain COVID-19 or slow its spread, governments around the world

have enacted measures throughout 2020 and into 2021, including periodically closing businesses not deemed “essential,” isolating residents to their homes, limiting access to healthcare, curtailing activities including sporting events, and practicing social distancing. However, increased access to vaccinations throughout 2021 has contributed to slowing the spread of COVID-19 in certain jurisdictions and, consequently, some or all restrictions have been lifted in a number of jurisdictions around the world, allowing a return to more normal activity and operational levels.

During 2020, we implemented a broad range of temporary actions to mitigate the effects of lower sales levels including temporarily reducing salaries, furloughing and laying-off employees, significantly curtailing discretionary expenses, re-phasing of capital expenditures, reducing supplier purchase levels and / or prices, adjusting working capital practices and other measures. As sales volumes returned to more normal levels in 2021, these measures have been removed.

As reflected in the discussions that follow, the pandemic and actions taken in response to it have had a variety of impacts on our results of operations during 2020 and 2021. In 2020, the pandemic began to impact our financial results in March, with the most severe financial impact occurring in the second quarter. Subsequently, we observed a partial recovery in the second half of 2020. The surge in COVID-19 cases in the fourth quarter of 2020 contributed to certain jurisdictions putting further restrictions into place, which slowed recovery in the fourth quarter of 2020, and the impact continued into the beginning of the first quarter of 2021, after which sales volumes began to normalize.

We continue to monitor the evolving situation and guidance from international and domestic authorities, including national and local public health authorities, and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control that require us to further adjust our operations. In the first half of 2021, we observed a normalization in most countries in which we operate primarily as a result of increased access to COVID-19 vaccines and relaxing of some government-mandated restrictions. However, given the continued dynamic nature of this situation, including the rise, prevalence and severity of variants of the virus, we cannot reasonably estimate the full impacts of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future.

Please see “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2020 Form 10-K for a further discussion of some of the risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Strategic Acquisitions

We complement our organic growth plans with strategic acquisitions. Acquisitions can significantly affect our reported results, and we report the change in our Net sales between periods both from existing and acquired businesses. The change in Net sales due to acquisitions for the three and six months ended July 2, 2021 presented in this filing represents the incremental sales subsequent to the beginning of the prior year periods.

We completed one acquisition in our Fabrication Technology segment and three acquisitions in our Medical Technology segment during the six months ended July 2, 2021 for total consideration, net of cash received, of $215.9 million. This includes the acquisition of, among another, Trilliant Surgical, a national provider of foot and ankle orthopedic implants, and MedShape, Inc., a provider of innovative surgical solutions for foot and ankle surgeons, for total consideration, net of cash received, of $205.4 million within our Medical Technology segment.

In addition, on June 7, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement for the acquisition of Mathys AG Bettlach (“Mathys”), a Switzerland-based company that develops and distributes innovative products for artificial joint replacement, synthetic bone graft solutions and sports medicine. We believe that the acquisition will expand our reconstructive product portfolio with Mathys’ complimentary surgical solutions and customer base. Total acquisition consideration of approximately $285 million is expected to be financed with Colfax common stock. The transaction is expected to close on July 28, 2021 subsequent to the filing of this Form 10-Q, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations

A significant portion of our Net sales, approximately 59% and 60% for the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, respectively, were derived from operations outside the U.S., with the majority of those sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Because much of our manufacturing and employee costs are outside the U.S., a significant portion of our costs are also denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in foreign exchange rates can impact our results of operations and are quantified when significant. For the six months ended July 2, 2021 compared to the six months ended July 3, 2020, fluctuations in foreign currencies had a favorable impact on the change in Net sales of approximately 3% and affected

Gross profit and Selling, general and administrative expenses by less than 3%. For the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020, fluctuations in foreign currencies had a favorable impact on the change in Net sales of approximately 4%, and affected Gross profit and Selling, general and administrative expenses by less than 3%. The changes in foreign exchange rates since December 31, 2020 also decreased net assets by less than 2% as of July 2, 2021.

Seasonality

European operations in our Fabrication Technology segment typically experience a slowdown during the July, August and December vacation seasons. Sales in our Medical Technology segment typically peak in the fourth quarter. However, the business impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic distorted the effects of historical seasonality patterns in 2020.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITA

Adjusted EBITA, a non-GAAP performance measure, is included in this report because it is a key metric used by our management to assess our operating performance. Adjusted EBITA excludes from Net income (loss) from continuing operations the effect of restructuring and other related charges, MDR and other costs, acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and other non-cash charges, and strategic transaction costs, as well as income tax expense (benefit), pension settlement gain, debt extinguishment charges and interest expense, net. We also present Adjusted EBITA margin, which is subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted EBITA. Further, we present Adjusted EBITA (and Adjusted EBITA margin) on a segment basis, where we exclude the impact of restructuring and other related charges, MDR and other costs, acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and other non-cash charges, and strategic transaction costs from segment operating income. Adjusted EBITA assists Colfax management in comparing its operating performance over time because certain items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult, as they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency or relate to discrete restructuring plans and other initiatives that are fundamentally different from our ongoing productivity improvements. Colfax management also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view its performance using the same measure that we use in evaluating our financial and business performance and trends.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The following tables set forth a reconciliation of Net income (loss) from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITA.

(2) Represents the incremental sales as a result of acquisitions closed subsequent to the beginning of the prior year respective periods.

(3) Represents the difference between prior year sales valued at the actual prior year foreign exchange rates and prior year sales valued at current year foreign exchange rates.

The increase in Net sales during the three and six months ended July 2, 2021 compared to the prior year periods was primarily attributable to the strong recovery from the prior year COVID-related sales downturn in the first half of 2020. During the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, the existing business sales of our Fabrication Technology segment increased $196.2 million and $231.0 million, respectively, while our Medical Technology segment increased $121.6 million and $121.1 million, respectively. Our Fabrication Technology segment benefited from new product initiatives in the second quarter and first half of 2021. Net sales from acquisitions increased during the three and six months ended July 2, 2021 primarily due to acquisitions in our Medical Technology segment that closed in the fourth quarter of 2020 and first half of 2021. The weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies resulted in $24.1 million and $38.3 million favorable foreign currency translation impacts during the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, respectively.

Second Quarter of 2021 Compared to Second Quarter of 2020

Gross profit increased $177.9 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared with the prior year period due to a $78.5 million increase in our Fabrication Technology segment and a $99.4 million increase in our Medical Technology segment. The Gross profit increase was primarily attributable to the significant rebound from lower sales volumes in the second quarter of 2020 caused by the COVID-19 impact, which created more favorable operating leverage and production efficiencies. These factors also contributed to the increase in Gross profit margin, which was partially offset by increased supply chain costs and inflation-related pricing and cost increases in our Fabrication Technology segment during the second quarter of 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $101.9 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year period due to increased sales commissions from increased sales levels, the cessation of prior year temporary cost reduction measures that were taken in response to COVID-19, and $17.9 million related to acquired businesses. Strategic transaction costs increased due to costs incurred related to the Separation. Restructuring and other related charges decreased due to the completion of certain restructuring programs.

Additionally, during the second quarter of 2021, a pension settlement gain of $11.2 million was recognized when the independent trustees of a company pension plan agreed to merge that plan with another company pension plan and contribute its surplus assets.

due to a reduction in debt balances in the second quarter of 2021, primarily as a result of the aforementioned redemption of senior notes.

The effective tax rate for Net income (loss) from continuing operations during the second quarter of 2021 was 20.7%, which was slightly lower than the 2021 U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, mainly due to the net impact of international tax rates, effective settlements on uncertain tax positions and U.S. tax credits, offset by withholding taxes, U.S. tax on international operations and other non-deductible expenses. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2020 was 90.5%, which was higher than the 2020 U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% mainly due to the impact of additional U.S. tax on international operations and taxable foreign exchange gains, offset in part by a discrete tax benefit associated with the enactment of a tax law change in India.

Net income from continuing operations increased in the second quarter of 2021 compared with the prior year period primarily due to the strong recovery from the prior year COVID-related sales downturn and related cost impacts. The sales-related benefits from this recovery in the second quarter of 2021 were partially offset by increases in expenses attributable to the temporary cost reductions implemented in the second quarter of 2020 in reaction to COVID-driven sales reductions. In the second quarter of 2021 we incurred higher sales commissions related to higher sales, increased Strategic transaction costs related to the Separation, and debt extinguishment charges in the current year period. Net income margin from continuing operations increased by 370 basis points due to the aforementioned factors. Adjusted EBITA and related margins increased primarily due to the improved sales volumes, partially offset by higher sales commissions and the cessation of second quarter 2020 temporary cost reductions.

Six months ended July 2, 2021 Compared to Six months ended July 3, 2020

Gross profit increased $200.8 million in the six months ended July 2, 2021 compared with the prior year period due to a $89.5 million increase in our Fabrication Technology segment and a $111.3 million increase in our Medical Technology segment. The Gross profit increase was primarily attributable to higher sales volumes and the related improved production variances compared to the six months ended July 3, 2020, during which sales volumes were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. During the six months ended July 2, 2021, Gross profit also improved due to acquisition growth, new product initiatives and favorable foreign currency impacts. Gross profit margin increased for the same reasons Gross profit increased, partially offset by inflation-related pricing and cost increases in our Fabrication Technology segment.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $115.4 million in the six months ended July 2, 2021 compared to the prior year period primarily due to increased sales commissions from increased sales levels, and the cessation of prior year temporary cost reduction measures that were taken in response to COVID-19. To a lesser extent, acquisition-related expenses and strategic transaction costs related to the Separation also increased Selling, general and administrative expense during the six months ended July 2, 2021. Restructuring and other related charges decreased due to the completion of certain restructuring programs in our Medical Technology segment.

Additionally, during the six months ended July 2, 2021, a pension settlement gain of $11.2 million was recognized when the independent trustees of a company pension plan agreed to merge that plan with another company pension plan and contribute its surplus assets.

Debt extinguishment charges of $29.9 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2021 due to an early redemption of certain senior notes. Interest expense, net decreased in the six months ended July 2, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an overall reduction in debt balances during the current year period as a result of the aforementioned redemption of senior notes.

The effective tax rate for Net income (loss) from continuing operations during the six months ended July 2, 2021 was 21.4%, which was slightly higher than the 2021 U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, mainly due to withholding taxes, U.S. tax on international operations, and other non-deductible expenses, offset by the net impact of international tax rates, the realization of tax benefits associated with effective settlements on uncertain tax positions, and U.S. tax credits. The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 3, 2020 was 151.3%, which was higher than the 2020 U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% mainly due to the impact of U.S. tax credits and state taxes on the forecasted rate and discrete tax benefits associated with the filing of timely elected changes to U.S. Federal tax returns to credit rather than to deduct foreign taxes, the impact of an enacted law change in India, and the realization of tax benefits associated with effective settlements on uncertain tax. These favorable impacts were offset by the impact of additional U.S. tax on international operations and taxable foreign exchange gains.

Net income from continuing operations increased in the six months ended July 2, 2021 compared with the prior year period primarily due to the strong recovery from the prior year COVID-related sales downturn and related cost impacts. The sales-related benefits from this recovery in the six months ended July 2, 2021 were partially offset by increases in expenses attributable to the temporary cost reductions implemented during the six months ended July 3, 2020 in reaction to COVID-driven sales reductions. In the six months ended July 2, 2021, we incurred higher sales commissions related to higher sales, and debt extinguishment charges. Net income margin from continuing operations increased by 280 basis points due to the aforementioned factors. Adjusted EBITA increased primarily due to the improved sales volumes, new product initiatives, and benefits from previously-completed restructuring programs, partially offset by the aforementioned sales commission increases, and the cessation of the aforementioned temporary cost reductions. Adjusted EBITA margin increased for the same reasons Adjusted EBITA increased, partially offset by inflation-related pricing and cost increases in our Fabrication Technology segment during the six months ended July 2, 2021.

Second Quarter of 2021 Compared to Second Quarter of 2020

Net sales in our Fabrication Technology segment increased $215.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared with the prior year period primarily due to the strong recovery from the COVID effects in the second quarter of 2020. Sales also increased due to new product initiatives, inflation-related pricing impacts of approximately 11% of the sales increase, and an $18.5 million favorable foreign currency impact during the second quarter of 2021. Gross profit and Gross profit margin increased $78.5 million and 90 basis points, respectively, due to the higher sales volumes and the related improved production efficiencies compared to the prior year period. The increase in Gross profit margin was partially offset by inflation-related

pricing and cost increases, which compressed the margin. Selling, general and administrative expense increased primarily due to the cessation of temporary cost reductions implemented during the second quarter of 2020, partially offset by benefits from ongoing restructuring initiatives to structurally reduce costs. Segment operating income and Adjusted EBITA improved due to increased sales volumes, partially offset by increased Selling, general and administrative expenses. The related margins increased for the same reasons, partially offset by inflation-related pricing and cost increases during the second quarter of 2021.

Six months ended July 2, 2021 Compared to Six months ended July 3, 2020

Net sales increased $258.0 million in the six months ended July 2, 2021 compared with the prior year period, due to the strong recovery from the COVID effects in the six months ended July 3, 2020, as well as new product initiatives, inflation-related pricing impacts, and a $25.9 million favorable foreign currency translation impact in the current year period. Gross profit increased $89.5 million during the six months ended July 2, 2021 as a result of improved sales volumes, while Gross profit margin decreased 10 basis points due to inflation-related pricing and cost increases, which compressed the margin. Selling, general and administrative expense increased in the period primarily due to the cessation of temporary cost reductions implemented in the second quarter of 2020, partially offset by benefits from restructuring initiatives. Segment operating income and Adjusted EBITA increased in the six months ended July 2, 2021 compared to the prior year period due to the improved sales volumes, partially offset by increased Selling, general and administrative costs. The related margins increased for the same reasons, partially offset by inflation-related pricing and cost increases over the same period.

Second Quarter of 2021 Compared to Second Quarter of 2020

Net sales increased for our Medical Technology segment in the second quarter of 2021 compared with the prior year period primarily due to the strong recovery from COVID-driven lower sales in the second quarter of 2020, as well as acquisition-related sales growth of $22.9 million and a favorable foreign currency translation effect of $5.6 million in the current year

period. Gross profit and gross profit margins increased in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to improved sales volumes and acquisition-related growth, partially offset by increased supply chain costs. Selling, general and administrative expense increased over the same period primarily due to the cessation of temporary employee cost reductions implemented during the second quarter of 2020, as well as higher sales commissions and acquisition-related expenses, including integration costs from the newly-acquired businesses, in the current year period. Segment operating income, Adjusted EBITA and the related margins all increased as a result of the aforementioned factors. Restructuring and other related charges decreased by $3.1 million due to the completion of certain projects in earlier periods.

Six months ended July 2, 2021 Compared to Six months ended July 3, 2020

Net sales increased for our Medical Technology segment in the six months ended July 2, 2021 compared with the prior year period due to a recovery in sales volumes from the decline related to COVID-19 during the six months ended July 3, 2020, as well as continued expansion in the reconstructive product group from key products launched in 2020, acquisition-related sales growth of $36.9 million and a favorable foreign currency translation effect of $12.4 million during the current year period. While sales volumes early in the first quarter of 2021 were negatively impacted by certain jurisdictions putting further COVID-19-related restrictions in place in response to the surge in COVID-19 cases late in 2020, sales volumes have since normalized. Gross profit and Gross profit margins increased during the six months ended July 2, 2021 compared to the prior year period due to improved sales volumes and acquisition-related growth, partially offset by increased supply chain costs. Selling, general and administrative expense also increased primarily due to the cessation of temporary employee cost reductions implemented during the second quarter of 2020 and higher sales commissions in the current year period, as well as costs associated with acquisitions and the related integration costs from the newly acquired businesses during the six months ended July 2, 2021. Segment operating income, Adjusted EBITA, and related margins all increased as a result of the aforementioned factors. Restructuring and other related charges decreased by $10.3 million due to completing certain projects.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We finance our long-term capital and working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, various borrowings and the issuances of equity. We expect that our primary ongoing requirements for cash will be for working capital, funding of acquisitions, capital expenditures, restructuring, asbestos-related cash outflows, and debt service and required amortization of principal. We believe we could raise additional funds in the form of debt or equity if it was determined to be appropriate for strategic acquisitions or other corporate purposes.

Equity Capital

On March 19, 2021, we completed the underwritten public offering of 16.1 million shares of our Common stock at a price to the public of $46.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $711.3 million, after deducting offering expenses and underwriters’ discount and commissions. We used these proceeds to pay down certain of our senior notes, as discussed further below.

In 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our Common stock from time-to-time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. No stock repurchases have been made under this plan since the third quarter of 2018. As of July 2, 2021, the remaining stock repurchase authorization provided by our Board of Directors was $100.0 million. The timing, amount, and method of shares repurchased is determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. There is no term associated with the remaining repurchase authorization.

Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility

Our credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) by and among the Company, as the borrower, certain U.S. subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, each of the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Citizens Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, and the co-documentation agents named therein consists of a $975 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and a Term A-1 loan in an initial aggregate principal amount of $825 million, each with a maturity date of December 6, 2024. The Revolver contains a $50 million swing line loan sub-facility. Refer to Note 10, “Debt” in the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

As of July 2, 2021, we are in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Facility. As of July 2, 2021, the weighted-average interest rate of borrowings under the Credit Facility was 1.84%, excluding accretion of original issue discount and deferred financing fees, and there was $890 million available on the Revolver.

Euro Senior Notes

Our senior unsecured notes with an aggregate principal amount of €350 million (the “Euro Notes”) are due in April 2025, have an interest rate of 3.25%, and are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantees”). The Euro Notes and the Guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.

TEU Amortizing Notes

Our TEU amortizing notes with an initial principal amount of $15.6099 per unit, bear interest at a rate of 6.50% per annum, and have equal quarterly cash installments of $1.4375 per TEU amortizing note with a final installment payment date of January 15, 2022. The quarterly cash installment constitutes a payment of interest and a partial repayment of principal. We paid $12.3 million and $11.5 million of principal on the TEU amortizing notes in the six months ended July 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020, respectively. The TEU amortizing notes are the direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and rank equally with all of the existing and future other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. Refer to Note 10, “Debt” in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

2024 Notes and 2026 Notes

We had senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $600 million (the “2024 Notes”), which were due on February 15, 2024 and had an interest rate of 6.0%. We have senior notes with an initial aggregate principal amount of $400 million (the “2026 Notes”), which are due on February 15, 2026 and have an interest rate of 6.375%. The 2026 Notes are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. We redeemed all of the outstanding 2024 Notes and $100 million of the outstanding principal amount of our 2026 Notes on April 24, 2021. Refer to Note 10, “Debt”, in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Other Indebtedness

In addition, we are party to various bilateral credit facilities with a borrowing capacity of $192.6 million. As of July 2, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities.

We are also party to letter of credit facilities with an aggregate capacity of $339.8 million. Total letters of credit of $70.1 million were outstanding as of July 2, 2021.

We believe that our sources of liquidity are adequate to fund our operations for the next twelve months.

Cash Flows

As of July 2, 2021, we had $62.3 million of Cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $38.8 million from the balance as of December 31, 2020 of $101.1 million, which included $4.0 million of Restricted cash. The following table summarizes the change in Cash and cash equivalents during the periods indicated:


	Six Months Ended
	July 2, 2021		July 3, 2020
	(Dollars in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	162.8	$	93.2
Purchases of property, plant and equipment	(44.6)		(50.4)
Proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment	3.2		5.0
Acquisitions, net of cash received, and investments	(230.7)		(7.5)


Net cash used in investing activities	(272.1)		(53.0)
Proceeds (repayments) from borrowings, net	(627.7)		(63.2)



Proceeds from issuance of common stock, net	730.0		2.3
Payment of debt extinguishment costs	(24.4)		—
Other	(6.2)		(16.4)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	71.7		(77.4)
Effect of foreign exchange rates on Cash and cash equivalents	(1.1)		(6.1)
Decrease in Cash and cash equivalents	$	(38.8)	$	(43.2)

Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to changes in working capital and the timing of payments for items such as pension funding, asbestos-related costs and restructuring program funding. Changes in significant operating cash flow items are discussed below.

•During the six months ended July 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020, cash payments of $10.2 million and $23.6 million, respectively, were made related to our restructuring initiatives.

•Year-to-date 2021 results include $47.6 million of outflows from working capital as a result of business growth. Results in the comparable prior year period provided cash of $59.8 million due to a decrease in receivables, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable due to COVID-related declines.

•Year-to-date 2021 net cash provided by operating activities also included a cash inflow from a $36.0 million U.S. federal tax refund received in the first quarter of 2021.

•Cash used in operating activities related to discontinued operations for the six months ended July 2, 2021 was $4.6 million, primarily due to a settlement related to a disposed business, partially offset by net asbestos inflows. Cash used in operating activities related to discontinued operations for the six months ended July 3, 2020 was $7.9 million.

Cash flows used in investing activities during the six months ended July 2, 2021 increased due to cash paid for acquisitions and investments in our Medical Technology segment of $225.7 million, as well as an acquisition outlay in our Fabrication Technology segment of $5.0 million.

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended July 2, 2021 included the $711.3 million net proceeds from the public offering of 16.1 million shares of Colfax Common stock on March 19, 2021. The net proceeds were used in the $600 million full redemption of our 2024 Notes and the $100 million partial redemption of our 2026 Notes. Cash flows from financing activities reflects a net borrowing on our Revolver in 2021 and a net repayment on our Revolver in 2020.

Our Cash and cash equivalents as of July 2, 2021 include $50.6 million held in jurisdictions outside the U.S., an increase of $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2021. Cash repatriation of non-U.S. cash into the U.S. may be subject to taxes, other local statutory restrictions and minority owner distributions.

Critical Accounting Policies

The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our critical accounting policies have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based upon our historical experience, our evaluation of business and macroeconomic trends and information from other outside sources, as appropriate. Our experience and assumptions form the basis for our judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may vary from what our management anticipates, and different assumptions or estimates about the future could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

There have been no other significant additions or changes to the methods, estimates and judgments included in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies” in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in short-term interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices that could impact our results of operations and financial condition. We address our exposure to these risks through our normal operating and financing activities. We do not enter into derivative contracts for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to exposure from changes in short-term interest rates related to interest payments on our borrowing arrangements. A significant amount of our borrowings as of July 2, 2021 are variable-rate facilities based on LIBOR or EURIBOR. In order to mitigate our interest rate risk, we may enter into interest rate swap or collar agreements. A hypothetical increase in interest rates of 1% during the three and six months ended July 2, 2021 would have increased Interest expense for our variable rate-based debt by approximately $2.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

Exchange Rate Risk

We have manufacturing sites throughout the world and sell our products globally. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar and against the currencies of other countries in which we manufacture and sell products and services. During the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, approximately 59% and 60% of our sales, respectively, were derived from operations outside the U.S. We have significant manufacturing operations in European countries that are not part of the Eurozone. Sales are more highly weighted toward the Euro and U.S. dollar. We also have significant contractual obligations in U.S. dollars that are met with cash flows in other currencies as well

as U.S. dollars. To better match revenue and expense, as well as cash needs from contractual liabilities, we regularly enter into currency swaps and forward contracts.

We also face exchange rate risk from our investments in subsidiaries owned and operated in foreign countries. Euro denominated borrowings under the Euro Senior Notes provide a natural hedge to a portion of our European net asset position. The effect of a change in currency exchange rates on our net investment in international subsidiaries, net of the translation effect of our Euro denominated borrowings, is reflected in the Accumulated other comprehensive loss component of Equity. A 10% depreciation in major currencies relative to the U.S. dollar as of July 2, 2021 (net of the translation effect of our Euro denominated borrowings) would result in a reduction in Equity of approximately $169 million.

We also face exchange rate risk from intercompany transactions between affiliates. Although we use the U.S. dollar as our functional currency for reporting purposes, we have manufacturing sites throughout the world, and a substantial portion of our costs are incurred and sales are generated in foreign currencies. Costs incurred and sales recorded by subsidiaries operating outside of the U.S. are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates effective during the respective period. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar. Similarly, tax costs may increase or decrease as local currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar.

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to changes in the prices of raw materials used in our production processes. In order to manage commodity price risk, we periodically enter into fixed price contracts directly with suppliers.

See Note 12, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our derivative instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of July 2, 2021. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in this report on Form 10-Q has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Discussion of legal proceedings is incorporated by reference to Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. In addition to risk factors included in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2020 Form 10-K, we face the following risks:

Risks Relating to the Separation

The separation of our fabrication technology and medical technology business into two, differentiated, independent publicly traded companies may not be completed on the currently contemplated timeline, or at all, and may not achieve the intended benefits.

In March 2021, we announced our intention to separate our fabrication technology and medical technology business into two, differentiated, independent publicly traded companies (the “Separation”). We are targeting completion of the Separation in the first quarter of 2022. Completion of the Separation is subject to, among other things, completion of financing and other transactions on satisfactory terms, other steps necessary to qualify the Separation as a generally tax-free transaction, receipt of other regulatory approvals, obtaining final approvals from our board of directors and market conditions. The Separation is complex in nature, and unanticipated developments or changes, including changes in the law, macroeconomic environment and competitive conditions of our markets, the need both to receive regulatory approvals or clearances and to satisfy the requirements to effectuate a generally tax-free transaction, the uncertainty of the financial markets and challenges in executing the Separation, could delay or prevent the completion of the Separation or cause the Separation to occur on terms or conditions that are different or less favorable than expected.

Whether or not we complete the Separation, our ongoing businesses may face material challenges in connection with the Separation, including, but not limited to:

•the diversion of our management’s attention from operating and growing our business as a result of the significant amount of time and effort required to execute the Separation;

•foreseen and unforeseen costs and expenses that will be incurred in connection with the Separation, including accounting, tax, legal and other professional services costs, and potential prepayment charges and write-offs of deferred costs related to establishing new capital structures;

•retaining existing business and operational relationships, including with customers, suppliers and employees, as well as cultivating new business relationships; and

•potential negative reactions from the financial markets if we fail to complete the Separation in its currently intended form, within the anticipated time frame or at all.

Additionally, volatility in the world financial markets could increase borrowing costs or affect our ability to access the capital markets. Our ability to issue debt or enter into other financing arrangements on acceptable terms could be adversely affected if there is a material decline in the demand for our products or in the solvency of our customers or suppliers or if there are other significantly unfavorable changes in economic conditions. These conditions may adversely affect our anticipated timeline to complete the Separation and the expected benefits of the Separation, including by increasing the time and expense involved in the Separation. Other challenges associated with effectively executing the Separation include attracting, retaining and motivating key management and employees during the pendency of the Separation and following its completion, addressing any disruptions to our supply chain, manufacturing, sales and distribution, and other operations resulting from separating our fabrication and specialty medical technology business into two, differentiated, independent publicly traded companies. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or the price of our common stock. Furthermore, if the Separation is completed, we cannot provide assurance that

the Separation will achieve the full strategic and financial benefits expected to result from the Separation, nor can we provide assurance that each independent company will be successful in meeting its objectives.

If the Separation occurs, our financial and operational profile will change, and we will be a smaller, less diversified company than we are today.

If the Separation occurs, it will result in two smaller, less diversified companies, each with a more concentrated area of focus. As a result, each company may be more vulnerable to changing market conditions and competitive pressures, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The diversification of revenues, costs and cash flows will diminish as a result of the Separation, such that each company’s results of operations, cash flows, working capital, effective tax rate and financing requirements may be subject to increased volatility, and each company’s ability to fund capital expenditures, investments and service our debt may be diminished. There can be no assurance that the combined value of the common stock of the two independent publicly traded companies following the completion of the Separation will be equal to or greater than what the value of our common stock would have been had the Separation not occurred.

If the Separation and/or certain related transactions do not qualify as transactions that are generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we and our stockholders could be subject to significant tax liabilities.

Notwithstanding that we intend to structure the Separation to generally be a tax-free transaction, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) could determine that the Separation and/or certain related transactions should be treated as taxable transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not assert that the Separation and/or certain related transactions do not qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. In the event the IRS were to prevail with such challenge, we and our stockholders could be subject to significant U.S. federal income tax liability.

If the Separation, together with certain related transactions, were to fail to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would recognize taxable gain as if we had sold the common stock of the separated entity in a taxable sale for its fair market value (unless we and the separated entity jointly make an election under Section 336(e) of the Code with respect to the Separation, in which case, in general, (a) we would recognize taxable gain as if the separated entity had sold all of its assets in a taxable sale in exchange for an amount equal to the fair market value of its common stock and the assumption of all its liabilities and (b) the separated entity would obtain a related step-up in the basis of its assets), and our stockholders who receive shares of common stock of the separated entity in the Separation would be subject to tax as if they had received a taxable distribution equal to the fair market value of such shares.

Item 5. Other Information

The information set forth below is included herein for the purpose of providing the disclosure required under “Item 3.02 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.” of Form 8-K.

On June 7, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Mathys AG Bettlach, a Swiss company that develops and distributes innovative products for artificial joint replacement, synthetic bone graft solutions, and sports medicine. On July 26, 2021, we provided the sellers with notice of our election to exercise our right under the acquisition agreement to fund the purchase price in shares of our common stock. Total acquisition consideration of approximately $285 million is expected to be financed with our common stock, with the aggregate number of shares to be determined based on, among other things, the share price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the closing date. We intend to issue the consideration shares at closing, which is expected to occur on July 28, 2021 subsequent to the filing of this Form 10-Q, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on the basis that it did not involve a public offering.
