NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Heska Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Heska", the "Company", "we" or "our") sell veterinary and animal health diagnostic and specialty products. Our offerings include Point of Care diagnostic laboratory instruments and supplies; digital imaging diagnostic products, software and services; digital cytology services; vaccines; local and cloud-based data services; allergy testing and immunotherapy; and single-use offerings such as in-clinic diagnostic tests and heartworm preventive products. Our core focus is on supporting veterinarians in the canine and feline healthcare space.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. The interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2021, and the results of our operations and statements of stockholders' equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries since their respective dates of acquisitions. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Where our ownership of a subsidiary is less than 100%, the non-controlling interest is reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The non-controlling interest in our consolidated net (loss) income is reported as "Net loss attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest" on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Loss. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the domestic and global economies as described below. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and other financial information filed with the SEC.

HESKA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

of COVID-19, or an outbreak of other health epidemics could impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, including the potential for write-offs or impairments of assets and suspension of capital investments, will depend on future developments. We are unable to predict with certainty the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers, suppliers and vendors, as well as the actions of governments, and when and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume; these effects may differ from those assumed in our projected estimates. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business, mainly in our ability to place new capital equipment, primarily under long-term contracts, and manage supply chain shortages and increased costs, as a result of any economic impact that may occur in the future.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are required when establishing the allowance for credit losses and the net realizable value of inventory; determining future costs associated with warranties provided; determining the period over which our obligations are fulfilled under agreements to license product rights and/or technology rights; evaluating long-lived and intangible assets and investments for estimated useful lives and impairment; estimating the useful lives and standalone selling prices of instruments under leasing arrangements; determining the allocation of purchase price under purchase accounting; estimating the expense associated with the granting of stock; determining the need for, and the amount of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; determining the fair value of our embedded derivatives; and determining the value of the non-controlling interest in a business combination. Our actual results may differ from these estimates and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identically similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs for inactive markets.

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term trade receivables and payables, long-term note receivables with embedded derivative assets, contingent consideration liabilities, notes payable for acquisitions and its 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Notes"). The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents and short-term trade receivables and payables approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments.

The Company's financial assets based upon Level 3 inputs include embedded derivatives relating to its note receivables. The Company determined the redemption features of its convertible note receivable represents an embedded derivative. The estimated fair value of the embedded derivative asset is evaluated through Level 3 inputs using a probability-weighted scenario analysis. The Company determined the warrant associated with its promissory note receivable represents a derivative. The estimated fair value of the derivative asset is evaluated through Level 3 inputs, using an enterprise valuation model. For additional information regarding the Company's note receivables and derivatives, refer to Note 17, Notes Receivable.

The estimated fair value of the Company's 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2026 (the "Notes"), is disclosed at each reporting period and is evaluated through Level 2 inputs with consideration of quoted market prices in less active markets. For additional information regarding the Company's accounting treatment for the issuance of the Notes, refer to Note 16, Convertible Notes.

The Company's financial liabilities based upon Level 3 inputs include contingent consideration arrangements and notes payable relating to its acquisitions of Lacuna, BiEsseA and Biotech. The Company is obligated to pay contingent consideration payments of $2.0 million in connection with the Lacuna acquisition based on the achievement of certain performance metrics within a twelve month period ("Initial Earn Out Period"), reducing to $1.0 million if such metrics were met in a twelve month period subsequent to the Initial Earn Out Period. The Company is obligated to pay contingent consideration payments of $2.9 million in connection with the BiEsseA acquisition based on the achievement of certain revenue metrics within three annual periods after 2021. The Company is obligated to pay contingent notes of up to $17.5 million in connection with the Biotech acquisition based on the achievement of certain product development milestones or at a predetermined date in the future. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions and Related Party Items for further discussion.

The fair value of our contingent consideration and notes payable arrangements are determined based on a probability-weighted outcome analysis. The fair value of the contingent consideration and notes payable liabilities associated with future payments were based on several factors, the most significant of which are the financial and product development performance of the acquired businesses. The Company will update its assumptions each reporting period based on new developments and record such amounts at fair value based on the revised assumptions until the agreements expire. Changes in fair value are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Loss within general and administrative expenses.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are described in our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and other than the recently adopted accounting pronouncements and options embedded in a non-controlling interest described below, have not changed materially since such filing.

Options Embedded in Non-controlling Interest

The Company applies the guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to determine whether the put and call options embedded in shares representing a non-controlling interest represent a liability. If the fixed price of the embedded put and call options are identical at a stated future date, the embedded options and the non-controlling interest are accounted for on a combined basis as a financing arrangement of the purchase of the non-controlling interest and are recorded as a liability at fair value on the reporting date. The Company fully consolidates the subsidiary, including 100 percent of the subsidiary net income or loss, in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Loss.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. We evaluated the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in this ASU clarify the interaction between the accounting for investments in equity securities, investments in

HESKA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

equity method and certain derivatives instruments. The ASU is expected to reduce diversity in practice and increase comparability of the accounting for these interactions. We evaluated the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Effective January 1, 2021, we early adopted ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments. The update reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible debt will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The update also requires the if-converted method to be used for convertible instruments and the effect of potential share settlement be included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares.

The Company's 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Notes") are a convertible instrument with a cash-conversion feature that is accounted for within the scope of ASC 470-20 and impacted by the adoption of ASU 2020-06. The Company has elected to apply the modified retrospective method wherein the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (January 1, 2021). Further, the Company will not restate EPS in prior periods. The Company calculated the cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2021 by comparing (i) the historical amortization schedule for the Notes through December 31, 2020 and (ii) an updated amortization schedule wherein the conversion feature within the Notes would not be separated as an equity component and subsequently recognized as non-cash interest expense under ASC 835-30. As a result of ASU 2020-06, while cash interest expense is not impacted, non-cash interest accretion is limited to the amortization of debt issuance costs under ASC 835-30. Therefore, the Company prepared its transition journal entries by (i) reversing the conversion feature amount recorded in APIC and (ii) reversing the difference in non-cash interest expense via retained earnings. The adoption resulted in a decrease to accumulated deficit of $3.4 million, a decrease to additional paid-in capital of $29.8 million, and an increase to convertible note, non-current, net of $35.2 million. Additionally, due to the adoption, the Company reversed the remaining balance of the net deferred tax liability of $8.8 million, which was initially recorded in connection with the Notes.

Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which updates various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements to align with the SEC's regulations. We evaluated the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In July 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842), Lessors- Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. This guidance amends the lease classification accounting for lessors for certain leases with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate and would have resulted in the recognition of a loss at lease commencement if classified as a sale-type or direct financing lease. Under the new guidance, these leases will be classified as an operating lease. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect adoption of the new guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

2. REVENUE

We separate our goods and services among two reportable segments, North America and International. The two segments consist of revenue originating from:

•North America: including the United States, Canada and Mexico

•International: all geographies outside North America, currently consisting primarily of Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Spain and Switzerland

Refer to Note 18 for further detail regarding the Company's reportable segments.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations with an original contract term greater than one year which are fully or partially unsatisfied at the end of the period. Remaining performance obligations include noncancellable purchase orders, the non-lease portion of minimum purchase commitments under long-term supply arrangements, extended warranty, service and other long-term contracts. Remaining performance obligations do not include revenue from contracts with customers with an original term of one year or less, revenue from long-term supply arrangements with no minimum purchase requirements, revenue expected from purchases made in excess of the minimum purchase requirements, or revenue from instruments leased to customers. While the remaining performance obligations disclosure is similar in concept to backlog, the definition of remaining performance obligations excludes leases and contracts that provide the customer with the right to cancel or terminate for convenience with no substantial penalty, even if historical experience indicates the likelihood of cancellation or termination is remote. Additionally, the Company has elected to exclude contracts with customers with an original term of one year or less from remaining performance obligations.

-11-

HESKA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

As of September 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining minimum performance obligations was approximately $163.0 million. As of September 30, 2021, the Company expects to recognize revenue as follows (in thousands):


Year Ending December 31,	Revenue
2021 (remaining)	$	10,118
2022	38,259
2023	34,304
2024	29,424
2025	23,651
Thereafter	27,254
	$	163,010

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled contract assets, deferred revenue, and customer deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized. In addition, the Company defers certain costs incurred to obtain contracts.

Contract Assets

Certain unbilled amounts related to long-term contracts for which we provide a free term to the customer are recorded in "Other current assets" and "Other non-current assets" on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The collection of these balances occurs over the term of the underlying contract. The balances as of September 30, 2021 were $1.4 million and $4.6 million for current and non-current assets, respectively, shown net of related unearned interest. The balances as of December 31, 2020 were $1.2 million and $4.1 million for current and non-current assets, respectively, shown net of related unearned interest.

Contract Liabilities

The Company receives cash payments from customers for licensing fees or other arrangements that extend for a specified term. These contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, contract liabilities were $7.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively, and are included within "Deferred revenue, current, and other" and "Deferred revenue, non-current" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in the contract liability balance during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 is approximately $4.9 million of revenue recognized during the period, offset by approximately $3.5 million of additional deferred sales in 2021. Contract liabilities are reported on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND RELATED PARTY ITEMS

Biotech Acquisition

On September 1, 2021, Heska acquired 65% of the equity of Biotech Laboratories U.S.A. LLC ("Biotech"), a developer of rapid assay diagnostic testing, in exchange for approximately $16.3 million in cash. As part of the purchase, Heska entered into put and call options in order to purchase the remaining 35% ownership in future years. The counterparty, Chinta Lamichhane, DVM, Ph.D, maintains an interest in Biotech and is an employee of the Company, thus commencing a related party relationship. Aside from the acquisition described herein, there were no financial or non-financial transactions between the Company and the counterparty.

In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company entered into various put and call options which are classified on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Notes Payable. The written put options can be exercised after June 30, 2024, at a valuation identical to the initial purchase price. The written call options can be exercised at any time prior to June 30, 2026, at an amount equal to two times the initial valuation or after June 30, 2026, at a valuation identical to the initial purchase price. Additionally, if certain product development milestones are met, the shares may be bought in various tranches at two times the initial valuation. The Company evaluated the put and call options embedded in the shares representing the non-controlling interest under the guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and determined the instrument met the criteria to be recorded as a liability because the fixed price of the put and call options are identical starting after June 30, 2026. As a result, the Company recorded the transaction as a financing arrangement of the purchase of the non-controlling interest, and will record 100% of the income and loss of Biotech in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Loss. The options were not redeemable as of the acquisition date or as of the period ending September 30, 2021. The estimated fair value of the Notes Payable of $15.9 million is inclusive of the probability weighted outcomes of the options described herein.

The total purchase consideration exceeded the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, resulting in goodwill of $25.8 million, all of which is attributable to our North America segment. In connection with the acquisition and pursuant to the elections under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company expects to obtain an increase with respect to the tax basis in the assets of Biotech.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. As such, the total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of September 1, 2021.

BiEsseA Acquisition

On July 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of BiEsse A-Laboratorio die Analisi Veterinarie S.r.l. (“BSA”). The Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of BSA for an aggregate purchase price of $7.2 million.

As additional consideration for the shares, the Company agreed to a contingent earn-out of an additional $2.9 million based on the achievement of certain performance metrics within three annual periods after 2021, each of which can pay up to one third of the total earn-out. The fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date, and as of September 30, 2021 was $2.3 million.

The total purchase consideration exceeded the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, resulting in $4.6 million of goodwill, all of which is attributable to our International segment. All of the goodwill is tax deductible for purposes of calculating Controlled Foreign Corporation tested income, which may result in a decrease to the Company's future U.S. federal income tax liability.

Per the tax indemnification included in the purchase agreement of BSA, the seller has indemnified the Company for $0.5 million related to uncertain tax positions taken in prior years. The outcome of this arrangement will either be settled or expire due to lapse of statute of limitations by 2025. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $0.5 million of the indemnification agreement remains outstanding.

Lacuna Acquisition

On February 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Lacuna Diagnostics, Inc. ("Lacuna"), a veterinary digital cytology company, to broaden the Company's point of care diagnostic offerings. The Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Lacuna for a purchase price of $4.3 million. The Company then dissolved Lacuna on February 1, 2021. In accordance with the purchase agreement, the Company is required to hold a $0.4 million general indemnity holdback that is intended to provide a non-exclusive source of funds for the payment of any losses identified and shall be released within 18 months of closing. As of September 30, 2021, $0.4 million of the indemnification holdback remains outstanding. As additional consideration for the shares, the Company agreed to a contingent earn-out of an additional $2.0 million based on the achievement of certain performance metrics within a twelve month period ("Initial Earn Out Period"), reducing to $1.0 million if such metrics were met in a twelve month period subsequent to the Initial Earn Out Period. The fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date was $1.7 million, and subsequently decreased to $1.0 million in the quarter ending September 30, 2021.

The total purchase consideration exceeded the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, resulting in $3.9 million of goodwill, primarily related to expanded opportunities with our offerings. All of the goodwill is allocated to the North America segment and is not tax deductible for income tax purposes.

scil Acquisition

On April 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of scil animal care company GmbH (“scil”) from Covetrus, Inc. The Company purchased 100% of the capital stock of scil for an aggregate price of $110.3 million in cash. The acquisition represents a key milestone in the Company's long-term strategic plan, creating a global veterinary diagnostics company with leadership positions in key geographic markets. The purchase price exceeded the identifiable net assets, resulting in goodwill of $46.0 million, primarily attributable to the synergies expected from the expanded market opportunities with our offerings and the experienced workforce acquired. Of the goodwill acquired, $37.3 million is allocated to our International segment and $8.7 million is allocated to our North America segment. All of the goodwill is tax deductible for purposes of calculating Controlled Foreign Corporation tested income, which may result in a decrease to the Company's future U.S. federal tax liability.

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. As such, the total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of April 1, 2020. The Company finalized the accounting for the acquisition as of March 31, 2021.

Non-marketable equity security investment	3,018		3,018
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates	$	5,867	$	6,704

Equity Method Investment

On September 24, 2018, the Company invested approximately $5.1 million, including costs, to acquire an equity interest in a business as part of its product development strategy. As of September 30, 2021, the Company's ownership interest in the business was 29.1%. In connection with the investment, the Company entered into a Manufacturing Supply Agreement that grants the Company global exclusivity to specified products to be delivered under the agreement for a 15-year period that begins upon the Company's receipt and acceptance of an initial order under the agreement. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the carrying value of the investment is adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of the investee's reported earnings or losses with the corresponding share of earnings or losses reported as Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates, listed below Net (loss) income before equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Loss.

Non-Marketable Equity Security Investment

On August 8, 2018, the Company invested approximately $3.0 million, including costs, in exchange for preferred stock. The Company’s investment is a non-marketable equity security, recorded using the measurement alternative of cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes.

As part of the agreement, the Company entered into a Supply and License Agreement, which provides that the investee produce and commercialize products that will enhance the Company's diagnostic portfolio. As part of this agreement, the Company made an upfront payment of $1.0 million related to a worldwide exclusive license agreement over a 20-year period, recorded in both short and long-term other assets. In addition, the agreement provides for an additional contingent payment of $10.0 million, relating to the successful achievement of sales milestones. This potential future milestone payment has not yet been accrued as it is not deemed by the Company to be probable at this time.

Total income tax (benefit) expense	$	(813)	$	3,413	$	(3,429)	$	1,693

There were cash payments for income taxes of $0.4 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and there were cash payments of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company had a tax benefit of $0.8 million and tax benefit of $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the tax expense of $3.4 million and tax expense of $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The increase in tax benefit in the nine month period is due to excess tax benefits recognized from employee stock compensation, partially offset by non-deductible executive compensation and a release in the partial valuation allowance further discussed below. The Company recognized $0.7 million in excess tax benefits related to employee share-based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $0.1 million recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company recognized $1.7 million in excess tax benefits related to employee share-based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $0.5 million recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a deferred tax asset of approximately $9.4 million from net operating losses and tax credits and a net partial valuation allowance recorded against these deferred tax assets. During the current year, the Company forecasts the release of approximately $0.3 million of the partial valuation allowance through the annual effective tax rate used to estimate tax expense. The release is due to an increase in non-deductible executive compensation and capitalization of research and development expenses that results in the projected utilization of net operating losses in the current year. After the release, the net partial valuation allowance is forecasted to be approximately $4.1 million as of December 31, 2021.

Diluted loss per share attributable to Heska Corporation	$	(0.19)	$	(0.57)	$	(0.06)	$	(1.99)

The following potentially outstanding common shares from convertible preferred stock, convertible senior notes, stock options and restricted stock awards were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been antidilutive (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,

Convertible preferred stock	—	—	—	611

Stock options and restricted stock	404	312	381	329
	1,400	435	1,377	996

As more fully described in Note 16, the Notes are convertible under certain circumstances, as defined in the indenture, into a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock. As discussed in Note 1, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06, effective January 1, 2021, which amends certain guidance on the computation of EPS for convertible instruments. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company used the treasury stock method when calculating the potential dilutive effect of the conversion feature of the Notes on earnings per share, if any. Under ASU 2020-06, the treasury stock method is no longer available, and entities must apply the if-converted method for convertible instruments and the effect of potential share settlement must be included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. To determine the dilutive effect to earnings per share using the if-converted method, interest expense on the outstanding Notes is added back to the diluted earnings per share numerator and all of the potentially dilutive shares are included in the diluted earnings per share denominator. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, all of the potentially issuable shares with respect to the Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted net earnings per share because the effect was anti-dilutive. The Company has elected to apply the modified retrospective method of adoption and will not restate EPS for the prior period.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of stock options with service and/or company performance conditions. For stock options with market conditions, we utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate grant date fair value. Compensation cost is recognized ratably over the vesting periods of the options and based on probability of achievement of performance metrics.

We valued the restricted stock awards and restricted stock units related to service and/or company performance targets based on grant date fair value and will expense over the requisite service period when achievement of those conditions is deemed probable. For restricted stock awards and restricted stock units related to market conditions, we utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate grant date fair value and expense over the requisite period.

2021 Equity Offering

On March 5, 2021, the Company completed a public offering of 940,860 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a public offering price of $186.00 per share.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Warranties

The Company's current terms and conditions of sale include a limited warranty that its products and services will conform to published specifications at the time of shipment and a more extensive warranty related to certain products. The Company also sells a renewal warranty for certain of its products. The typical remedy for breach of warranty is to repair or replace any defective product, and if not possible or practical, the Company will accept the return of the defective product and refund the amount paid. Historically, the Company has incurred minimal warranty costs. The Company's warranty reserve was $0.5 million and $0.5 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations. The Company records accruals for outstanding legal matters when it believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

On February 18, 2020, a former managing director of scil filed a claim disputing the effective date of the termination of his management service agreement and the validity of the Company´s waiver of his two-year post-contractual non-compete obligation. The Company intends to defend itself against the claim. Whether or not this will be successful depends on complex facts and circumstances. The Company is, based on the advice of its legal counsel, confident that it will be successful in evidencing the effective date of the termination of the management service agreement. Additionally, the Company is indemnified by the scil acquisition agreement for this claim.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company was not a party to any other legal proceedings that were expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or operating results.

Litigation Settlement

On November 1, 2019, Heska filed a civil complaint against Qorvo US, Inc, Qorvo Biotechnologies, LLC (together with Qorvo US, Inc, "Qorvo"), and Zomedica Inc. d/b/a Zomedica Corp ("Zomedica") in the United

In consideration for negotiation of the rights and obligations asserted by the parties, Qorvo agreed to pay the Company $1.2 million. The case was dismissed with prejudice and the matter is considered closed by the parties. The Company realized $1.2 million of other income during the period ended September 30, 2021 and collected the payment on October 5, 2021.

Refer to Note 16, Convertible Notes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2020 Form 10-K for further information on the Notes.

No portion of the Notes was converted during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the liability component was classified as long-term debt on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06, effective January 1, 2021, which simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments. Under the new standard, qualifying convertible debt is accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. As a result of ASU 2020-06, the Company's cash interest expense is not impacted, however, the Company's non-cash interest accretion is limited to the amortization of debt issuance costs under ASC 835-30. The new effective interest rate of the Notes post-adoption is 4.35%. The Company also reversed the conversion feature amount recorded in APIC and reversed the difference in non-cash interest expense via retained earnings.

17. NOTE RECEIVABLES

Convertible Promissory Note

On December 9, 2020, the Company's equity method investee (the “Equity Method Investee”), issued a Convertible Promissory Note to the Company (the “Convertible Promissory Note”) with a principal amount of $6.65 million and a stated interest rate of 3.0% per annum that is payable monthly. The Convertible Promissory Note has a maturity date of December 9, 2023, or otherwise upon qualified redemption event or in the event of a default. Refer to Note 4 for additional information on our equity method investment.

The conversion of the Convertible Promissory Note is contingent upon certain events. Due to the convertible debt features included in the Convertible Promissory Note, it is not an equity security and is therefore not considered an additional investment in our Equity Method Investee. The Company accounted for the transaction as a note receivable, included in Related party convertible note receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The note receivable will be measured at amortized cost and evaluated for credit losses each reporting period. The Company determined that the redemption features described above met the definition of an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation from the note receivable host. The Company measured the redemption features at fair value, with the residual proceeds paid allocated to the note receivable host, creating a discount to the note receivable. The discount will be amortized over the contractual term of the Convertible Promissory Note using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate of the Convertible Promissory Note is 8.69%, and the amortization of the discount will be included as interest income within Interest and other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Loss.

The carrying value of the note receivable, included in Related party convertible note receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is as follows (in thousands):


	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Principal amount	$	6,650	$	6,650
Unamortized discount	(751)		(977)
Net carrying amount	$	5,899	$	5,673

The fair value of the embedded derivative was $1.0 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is included in Related party convertible note receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the derivative will be remeasured each reporting period, with the mark-to-market adjustment to be included in Interest and other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Loss. In addition, the Company recorded an allowance for expected credit losses on the promissory note of $33 thousand as of September 30, 2021.

Promissory Note

On February 1, 2021, one of the Company's equity investees (the "Investee"), which the Company accounts for as a non-marketable equity security, issued a Promissory Note to the Company (the “Promissory Note”) with a principal amount of $9.0 million and a stated interest rate of 10.0% per annum that is payable monthly. The Promissory Note has a maturity date of December 1, 2024 and provides for interest only payments through December 1, 2023. Beginning on January 1, 2024, the Promissory Note requires repayment of the principal and interest over twelve consecutive monthly payments. As additional consideration, the Company

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

was also issued a warrant to acquire securities of the Investee that expires December 31, 2034. Refer to Note 4 for additional information on our equity investments.

The Company evaluated the accounting treatment of the warrant to acquire securities and determined it is a freestanding instrument that meets the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 and requires bifurcation from the note receivable host. The Company measured the warrant at fair value, with the residual proceeds paid allocated to the note receivable host, creating a discount to the note receivable. The discount will be amortized over the contractual term of the Promissory Note using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate of the Promissory Note is 10.99%, and the amortization of the discount will be included as interest income within Interest and other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Loss.

The carrying value of the note receivable, included in Promissory note receivable from investee, net, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is as follows (in thousands):


	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Principal amount	$	9,000	$	—
Unamortized discount	(269)		—
Net carrying amount	$	8,731	$	—

The fair value of the derivative was $0.3 million at issuance and $0.4 million as of September 30, 2021, and is included in Other non-current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the derivative will be remeasured each reporting period, with the mark-to-market adjustment to be included in other Interest and other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Loss. In addition, the Company recorded an allowance for expected credit losses on the note receivable of $0.3 million as of September 30, 2021.

18. SEGMENT REPORTING

On April 1, 2020, Heska completed the acquisition of scil. Following this acquisition, the Company restructured its operating segments based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. The CODM changed how he assesses performance and allocates resources based on geographic regions in order to better align with the global operations of the Company. Based on this change, the Company determined it has two reportable segments and revised prior comparative periods to conform to the current period segment presentation. The Company’s two segments are North America and International.

The North America segment is comprised of the Company's operations in the United States, Canada and Mexico and the International segment is comprised of geographies outside of North America, which are the Company's operations primarily in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Spain and Switzerland. Certain expenses incurred at the Company’s headquarters located in the North America segment are allocated to each segment in a manner consistent with where the benefits from the expenses are derived. However, there are certain corporate expenses included in the North America segment that the Company does not allocate. Such expenses include research and development, certain selling, marketing, general, and administrative costs that support the global organization. Sales and transfers between operating segments are accounted for at market-based transaction prices and are eliminated in consolidation. The Company's sales are determined by the country of origin where the sale occurred. For a description of Heska's previous operating segments, refer to Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II. Item 8 of Heska's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Our CODM continues to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on Revenue, Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit, Gross Margin and Operating Income. The CODM does not evaluate operating

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 1, 2021 the Company entered a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of VetZ GmbH ("VetZ"), a European leader in veterinary practice information management software solutions ("PIMS"). The acquisition is expected to close in early 2022, subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. The initial purchase price is approximately $32.1 million, subject to potential purchase price adjustments. Additionally, the seller may earn an additional $15.9 million in Heska stock which will be issued in tranches based on future financial and non-financial milestones.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, that involve risks and uncertainties, and can generally be identified by our use of the words "scheduled," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," and variations of such words and similar expressions. Such statements, which include statements concerning future revenue sources and concentration, international market expansion, gross profit margins, selling and marketing expenses, remaining minimum performance obligations, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, capital resources, financings or borrowings and additional losses, are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The Risk Factors and others described in the Company’s periodic and current reports filed with the SEC from time to time are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected. The forward-looking statements set forth in this Form 10-Q are as of the close of business on November 3, 2021 and we undertake no duty and do not intend to update this information, except as required by applicable laws. If we updated one or more forward looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above. See “Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”

Overview

We sell advanced veterinary diagnostic and specialty products. Our offerings include Point of Care ("POC") laboratory instruments and consumables; Point of Care digital imaging diagnostic instruments; digital cytology services; vaccines; local and cloud-based data services; allergy testing and immunotherapy; and single-use offerings such as in-clinic diagnostic tests and heartworm preventive products. Our core focus is on supporting veterinarians in the canine and feline healthcare space.

-35-

Point of Care laboratory instruments and other sales include outright instrument sales, revenue recognized from sales-type lease treatment, and other revenue sources, such as charges for repairs. Revenue from Point of Care laboratory consumables primarily involves placing an instrument under contract in the field and generating future revenue from testing consumables, such as cartridges and reagents, as that instrument is used. Instruments placed under subscription agreements are considered operating or sales-type leases, depending on the duration and other factors of the underlying agreement. A loss of, or disruption in, the supply of consumables we are selling to an installed base of instruments could substantially harm our business. All of our Point of Care laboratory and other non-imaging instruments and consumables are supplied by third parties, who typically own the product rights and supply the product to us under marketing and/or distribution agreements. In many cases, we have collaborated with a third party to adapt a human instrument for veterinary use. Major products in this area include our instruments for chemistry, hematology, blood gas and immunodiagnostic testing and their affiliated operating consumable.

Radiography is the largest product offering in Point of Care imaging, which includes digital and computed radiography and ultrasound instruments. Radiography solutions typically consist of a combination of hardware and software placed with a customer, often combined with an ongoing service and support contract. Our experience has been that most of the revenue is generated at the time of sale in this area, in contrast to the Point of Care diagnostic laboratory placements discussed above where ongoing consumable revenue is often a larger component of economic value as a given instrument is used.

Pharmaceuticals, Vaccines and Diagnostic ("PVD") revenue, includes single use diagnostic and other tests, pharmaceuticals and biologicals as well as research and development, licensing and royalty revenue. Since items in this area are often single use by their nature, our typical aim is to build customer satisfaction and loyalty for each product, generate repeat annual sales from existing customers and expand our customer base in the future. Products in this area are both supplied by third parties and provided by us. Major products and services in this area include heartworm diagnostic tests and preventives, and allergy test kits, allergy immunotherapy and testing.

Other Vaccines and Pharmaceuticals ("OVP") revenue is generated in our USDA, FDA and DEA licensed production facility in Des Moines, Iowa. We view this facility as an asset which could allow us to control our cost of goods on any pharmaceuticals and vaccines that we may commercialize in the future. We have increased integration of this facility with our operations elsewhere. For example, virtually all of our U.S. inventory, excluding our imaging products, is stored at this facility and related fulfillment logistics are managed there. Our OVP revenue includes vaccines and pharmaceuticals produced for third parties. OVP is attributable only to the North America segment.

All of our products are ultimately sold primarily to or through veterinarians. In many cases, veterinarians will mark up their costs to their customers. The acceptance of our products by veterinarians is critical to our success. These products are sold directly to end users by us as well as through distribution relationships, such as the sale of kits to conduct blood testing to third-party veterinary diagnostic laboratories and sales to independent third-party distributors. Revenue from direct sales and distribution relationships represented 72.3% and 27.7%, respectively, of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 71.3% and 28.7%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Revenue from direct sales and distribution relationships represented 72.3% and 27.7%, respectively, of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 69.8% and 30.2%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Segment Change

During the second quarter of 2020, following the scil acquisition, the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) changed how he assesses performance and allocates resources based on geographic regions. As a result, the Company determined it has two operating and reportable segments: North America and

-36-

International. North America consists of the United States, Canada and Mexico. International consists of geographies outside of North America, primarily our operations in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Spain and Switzerland. The Company's core strategic focus on point of care laboratory and imaging products is included in both segments. The North America segment also includes the contract manufacturing of vaccines and pharmaceutical products. The Company revised prior comparative periods to conform to the current period segment presentation. Refer to Note 18 - Segment Reporting to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II. Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for further information.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and Current Economic Environment

Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, to limit the spread of COVID-19, governments took various actions including the issuance of stay-at-home policies and social distancing procedures and guidelines, causing some businesses to adjust, reduce or suspend business and operating activities. Veterinary care is widely recognized as an "essential" service for pet owners, and veterinarians continued to deliver essential medical care for sick and injured pets. The stay-at-home policies deployed early in 2020 to combat the spread of COVID-19 resulted in a decrease in companion animal clinical visits, including delay of elective procedures and wellness visits and as a result, lower demand for diagnostic testing services. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, certain local, state and federal governments began to ease the stay-at-home policies and allowed more businesses and facilities to re-open, leading to a recovery in companion animal clinical visits and associated demand for our diagnostic products. During the fourth quarter of 2020 and into the first quarter of 2021, increased restrictions in countries in which we operate, mainly in the European Union and certain parts of Canada and Australia, re-emerged. In some part due to the introduction and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines, restrictions eased in many of the countries in which we operate during the second and third quarters of 2021. However, with the rise in COVID-19 variants, the extent to which the continuation, or another wave, of COVID-19, or an outbreak of other health epidemics could impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, including the potential for write-offs or impairments of assets and suspension of capital investments, will depend on future developments. We are unable to predict with certainty the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers, suppliers and vendors, as well as the actions of governments, and when and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume; these effects may differ from those assumed in our projected estimates. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business, mainly in our ability to place new capital equipment, primarily under long-term contracts, as a result of any economic impact that may occur in the future.

While not significant to the overall results of the of the year, on-site installations of equipment have been impacted since March 2020. However, our financial position remains strong. On March 5, 2021, we completed a public offering of shares of common stock. As a result, we have sufficient liquidity to sustain our operations. We will continue to actively seek opportunities that are consistent with our strategic direction, which may include a need to raise additional capital.

Due to our dependence on global suppliers, manufacturers and shipping routes, we are experiencing increased delays in receiving supply, increased shipping costs and some targeted increase in materials cost. Our major research and development projects are continuing to progress substantially as planned but we have experienced sporadic delays in receiving raw materials and device components as well as inefficiencies in remote collaboration and field-testing.

We do not know how long COVID-19 related challenges will continue. The ultimate impact on our business will depend on many factors substantially beyond our control and difficult to predict. In the near-term and with asynchronous variation across geographies, we anticipate veterinary hospitals may temporarily delay capital equipment investments as a result of heightened conservatism and the effects of social distancing on in-clinic demonstrations and installations. Despite these headwinds, we believe we are well positioned

-37-

because: (1) our customers and products are essential, (2) our main Point of Care laboratory business continues to show healthy consumables use and margin, (3) our subscriptions model metrics continue to show solid performance, (4) our vaccines and pharmaceuticals business continues to perform with minimal disruption, (5) our balance sheet is strong, and (6) our employees, logistics, supply chain, and operations continue to operate well in the current environment and they are fully prepared for both a phased return and an instant return to full capacity.

Results of Operations

Our analysis presented below is organized to provide the information we believe will facilitate an understanding of our historical performance and relevant trends going forward.

Net (loss) income margin and adjusted EBITDA margin are calculated as the ratio of net (loss) income and adjusted EBITDA, respectively, to revenue.

-38-

(2) Shares used in the diluted per share calculation for non-GAAP net income per diluted share are (in thousands): 10,580 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 9,447 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 10,321 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 8,486 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Revenue

Total revenue increased 6.4% to $60.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $56.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Total revenue increased 39.6% to $185.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $133.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increases in revenue are driven mainly by growth in POC Lab Consumables of 5.3% and 38.0% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. We also experienced recovery from COVID impacts in the prior year related to capital placements in POC Imaging products. The three months ended September 30, 2021 were also favorably impacted by increased sales within OVP and unfavorably impacted by lower Tri-heart sales as a result of raw material delays in the quarter. The nine months ending September 30, 2021 were also favorably impacted by the acquisition of scil, which was completed on April 1, 2020 and represented $22.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 that was not included in the prior year period.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased 7.9% to $25.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $23.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Gross margin increased to 41.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 41.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Gross profit increased 42.5% to $78.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $54.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Gross margin increased to 42.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 41.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in gross profit for both periods was due mainly to increased revenue. The increase in gross margin percentage for both periods was due to favorable product mix.

Operating Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses were $10.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, flat compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. Selling and marketing expenses increased 23.2% to $34.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $27.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily driven by the impact of international expansion related to recent acquisitions, which are in line with management's expectations. The increase is also impacted by higher stock-based compensation expenses of $0.9 million.

Research and development expenses decreased 11.0% to $2.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $2.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Research and development expenses decreased 15.5% to $5.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $6.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The variance is related to lower spending on product development for the urine and fecal diagnostic analyzer and enhanced immunodiagnostic offerings in the current year as these products are now commercialized.

General and administrative expenses increased 45.7% to $14.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $10.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. General and administrative expenses increased 36.9% to $40.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $29.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in both periods is driven by increased stock-based compensation expenses of $2.0 million and $6.0 million for the three and

-39-

nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and increased costs related to compensation. The increases for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are partially offset by lower one-time costs of $6.4 million incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 related to the acquisition of scil that did not repeat in the current year.

Interest and Other (Income) Expense, net

Interest and other (income) expense, net, was 30 thousand income in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $2.0 million expense in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Interest and other (income) expense, net, was $1.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $6.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in interest and other (income) expense in both periods was primarily driven by a change in accounting treatment related to non-cash interest expense as a result of the Notes, as well as one-time litigation settlement proceeds of $1.2 million realized in the third quarter of 2021 from an intellectual property lawsuit. Refer to Note 14 for further detail regarding the settlement.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had a total income tax benefit of $0.8 million, including $0.8 million of domestic deferred income tax benefit and $63 thousand of current income tax benefit. In the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a total income tax expense of $3.4 million, including $3.0 million of domestic deferred income tax expense and $0.4 million of current income tax expense. The Company recognized $0.7 million in excess tax benefits related to employee share-based compensation in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $0.1 million recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company had a total income tax benefit of $3.4 million, including $4.0 million of domestic deferred income tax benefit and $0.6 million of current income tax expense. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a total income tax expense of $1.7 million, including $1.3 million of domestic deferred income tax expense and $0.4 million of current income tax expense. The Company recognized $1.7 million in excess tax benefits related to employee share-based compensation in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $0.5 million recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The tax benefit for the 2021 periods versus the tax expense for the 2020 periods is due to the release of the valuation allowance for tax credits and excess tax benefits from employee stock compensation.

Net Loss Attributable to Heska Corporation

Net loss attributable to Heska was $1.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net loss attributable to Heska of $5.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Net loss attributable to Heska was $0.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net loss attributable to Heska of $16.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The difference between this line item and "Net (loss) income after equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates" is the net income or loss attributable to our minority interest in our French subsidiary, which we purchased in February 2019. In October 2020, the Company acquired the remaining 30% minority interest in Optomed. Net loss is lower in both comparative periods due to increases in revenue and gross profit, lower interest relating to the Notes, other income associated with the litigation settlement proceeds, and increased tax benefit, partially offset by increased operating expenses as discussed above.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA in the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $5.6 million (9.4% adjusted EBITDA margin), compared to $8.7 million (15.3% adjusted EBITDA margin) in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA was $22.5 million (12.1% adjusted EBITDA margin) in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $13.7 million (10.3% adjusted EBITDA margin) in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in the three months ended September 30, 2021 is driven by increased operating expenses as discussed above. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is driven by increased revenue and gross profit as discussed above. The majority of the increases in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are excluded from adjusted EBITDA due to their nature. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss (income), the closest comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods presented.

Loss Per Share

Loss per share attributable to Heska was $0.19 per diluted share in the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to loss of $0.57 per diluted share in the three months ended September 30, 2020. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021 we had a loss of $0.06 per diluted share compared to a loss of $1.99 per diluted share in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The lower losses in both periods are primarily due to increases in revenue and profit, lower interest and amortization charges relating to the Notes, other income associated with the litigation settlement proceeds, and increased tax benefit, partially offset by operating expenses as discussed above.

Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share

Non-GAAP EPS was income of $0.20 per diluted share in the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to income of $0.08 per diluted share in the three months ended September 30, 2020. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021 non-GAAP EPS was income of $1.27 per diluted share compared to income of $0.14 per diluted share in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in both periods is primarily due to increases in revenue and profit, partially offset by operating expenses. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of non-GAAP EPS to net (loss) income attributable to Heska per diluted share, the closest comparable U.S. GAAP measure, in each of the periods presented.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), we also present EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, which are non-GAAP measures.

These measures should be viewed as a supplement to, not substitute for, our results of operations presented under U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate their measures in the same manner. Management uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share as key profitability measures, which are included in monthly or quarterly analyses of our operating results to our senior management team, our annual budget and related goal setting and other performance measurements. We believe these non-GAAP measures enhance our investors' understanding of our business performance and that not adjusting for the items included in the reconciliations below would hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses on a period-over-period basis or with other businesses.

North America segment revenue increased 9.8% to $37.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $34.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The $3.4 million increase was driven by increased POC Imaging sales of $2.2 million driven by increased sales in Canada, a 10.1% increase in revenue in POC Lab Consumables, which had increased utilization and price in the current period, and increased sales for the period in OVP, partially offset by lower PVD sales of $1.1 million, driven by Tri-heart due to raw material delays. North America segment revenue increased 26.9% to $115.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $91.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The $24.5 million increase was driven by a 24.6% increase in revenue in POC Lab Consumables, which had increased utilization and price in the current period, increased POC imaging sales of $8.3 million driven by increased sales in Canada, and higher PVD sales of $2.5 million, primarily related to allergy and Tri-heart.

Gross profit for the North America segment was $17.8 million compared to $16.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Gross profit was $54.7 million compared to $41.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in gross profit for both periods is primarily driven by increased revenue in the current year periods. Gross margin was 47.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 48.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Gross margin was 47.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 46.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2021 is driven by idle plant costs for contract manufacturing and unfavorable product mix. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is due to favorable product mix, primarily due to increased sales of higher margin POC Lab Consumables, and increased margin from POC Imaging.

North America operating loss increased $1.6 million and decreased $6.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior year periods. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2021 is driven by increased operating expenses, primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expenses, partially offset by higher revenue and margin. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is driven by higher revenue and margin, partially offset by increased operating expenses, primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expenses.

International segment revenue was $22.4 million compared to $22.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. International segment revenue was $70.1 million compared to $41.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in the three months ended September 30, 2021 is due to a $0.9 million increase in revenue in POC Lab Instruments, as a result of fewer COVID-19 impacts in the current year and the impact of sales-type leases for the Reset program, and $0.7 million increased PVD revenue due to higher sales of single use tests; partially offset by a $1.2 million decline in POC Imaging sales due to supply chain interruption and increased competition. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is due to increased POC Lab Consumables revenue, fewer COVID-19 impacts for POC Imaging and POC Lab Instruments and the acquisition of scil, which occurred on April 1, 2020.

Gross profit for the International segment was $7.5 million compared to $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Gross profit was $23.3 million compared to $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Gross margin for the International segment was 33.3% and 33.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to 30.5% and 30.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The increase in gross profit for both periods is primarily driven by favorable revenue and costs. The increase in gross margin is driven by favorable product mix within POC Lab Consumables and also lower sales of lower margin products within POC Imaging.

International segment operating loss was $0.8 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to income of $0.2 million and loss of $1.7 million in the comparable prior year periods. The operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 is driven by increased operating expenses, largely as a result of international expansion. The lower operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is driven primarily by increased revenue and gross profit as a result of the scil acquisition, as discussed above, mostly offset by increased operating expenses.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition

We believe that adequate liquidity and cash generation is important to the execution of our strategic initiatives. Our ability to fund our operations, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and product development efforts may depend on our ability to access other forms of capital as well as our ability to generate cash from operating activities, which is subject to future operating performance, as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other conditions, some of which may be beyond our control, including but not limited to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our primary source of liquidity is our available cash of $222.9 million, which includes net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of approximately $167 million on March 5, 2021.

We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances, as well as the cash flows generated by our operations, will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures, including selling and marketing team expansion and product development initiatives, for at least the next 12 months. Our belief may prove to be incorrect, however, and we could utilize our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. For example, we actively seek opportunities that are consistent with our strategic direction, which may require additional capital. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. We may seek additional equity or debt financing in order to meet these future capital requirements, even in the absence of any acquisitions. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.
