HESKA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 advanced veterinary diagnostic and specialty products. Our offerings include Point of Care ("POC") laboratory instruments and consumables, single-use offerings such as in-clinic diagnostics tests; Point of Care digital imaging diagnostic instruments and veterinary practice information management software solutions (“PIMS”); digital cytology services; vaccines; local and cloud-based data services; allergy testing and immunotherapy; 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 June 30, 2022, and the results of our operations and statements of stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
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. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 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, 2021 and other financial information filed with the SEC.
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. In some part, and of different degrees depending on the geography, due to the introduction and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines, restrictions have eased in many of the countries in which we operate. Global diagnostic animal health demand continued throughout 2021 and into 2022. While this trend is encouraging, with the rise in COVID-19 variants, the extent to which the continuation, or additional waves, 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.
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.

Revenue for support services, cloud-based services, and installation and training is recognized over time as the services are performed. Refer to Note 3 for further details regarding the VetZ acquisition.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2022, we adopted 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. 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, 2022, we early adopted ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This guidance requires an acquiring entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date, the acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. 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.

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.

As of June 30, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining minimum performance obligations was approximately $182.5 million. As of June 30, 2022, the Company expects to recognize revenue as follows (in thousands):

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 June 30, 2022 were $1.6 million and $5.5 million for current and non-current assets, respectively, shown net of related unearned interest. The balances as of December 31, 2021 were $1.5 million and $5.1 million for current and non-current assets, respectively, shown net of related unearned interest. The increase in contract assets for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 is primarily related to additional contract assets recorded for contracts with a free term, partially offset by payments received.

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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, contract liabilities were $8.6 million and $9.6 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2022 is attributable to approximately $5.6 million of revenue recognized during the period and an exchange rate impact of $0.2 million, partially offset by approximately $3.9 million of additional deferred sales in 2022, and the acquisition of VetZ contract liabilities of approximately $0.9 million. Contract liabilities are reported on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis.

3.    ACQUISITIONS AND RELATED PARTY ITEMS
VetZ Acquisition
On January 3, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of VetZ GmbH (“VetZ”), a European leader in veterinary practice information management software solutions (“PIMS”), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $35.5 million. The purchase price consisted of approximately $31.6 million in cash as well as contingent consideration as described below. The cash purchase price includes a general indemnity holdback of approximately $1.4 million to be released within 18 months of closing. The cash purchase price was also reduced by a negative net working capital adjustment of approximately $0.6 million.
As additional consideration for the acquisition, the Company agreed to a contingent earn-out of 91,039 shares of Heska stock, with a total value of $15.5 million, which will be issued in tranches based on future financial and non-financial milestones. The fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date was approximately $3.9 million, determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. The Company evaluated whether the contingent earn-out should be treated as a liability or equity in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The contingent earn-out did not meet the ASC 480 definition of a liability as it is not mandatorily redeemable, is not an obligation to repurchase the Company’s shares, and it can only be settled with a fixed number of shares. Additionally, the Company noted the contingent earn-out met the scope exception in ASC 815-10 as the earn-out is indexed to the Company’s own shares, and also met the criteria in ASC 815-40 to be classified in equity as the Company has sufficient authorized and unissued shares, the earn-out has an explicit share limit, there are no required cash payments. As such the contingent earn-out is classified in equity, and is not subsequently remeasured each reporting period. Subsequent settlement of the obligation will be accounted for within equity.
The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the identifiable net assets, resulting in goodwill of $22.1 million, all of which is attributable to our International segment. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition consists of new product offerings from entering the PIMS market. 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 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 January 3, 2022. The total purchase consideration is subject to customary working capital adjustments.

The Company's preliminary estimates of fair values of the net assets acquired are based on the information that was available at the date of the acquisition, and the Company is continuing to evaluate the underlying inputs and assumptions used in its valuations. Accordingly, these preliminary estimates are subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the date of the acquisition. A decrease in the fair value of assets acquired or an increase in the fair value of liabilities assumed in the acquisition from those valuations would result in a corresponding increase in the amount of goodwill from the acquisition. During the second quarter of 2022, as reflected in the table above, the Company adjusted the total purchase consideration as a result of net working capital adjustments, reclassified certain assets and liabilities to align with the presentation of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and increased the balance of deferred revenue acquired. These changes resulted in a net decrease of $0.4 million in goodwill.

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.

HESKA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


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 exercised 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) Income. The options were not redeemable as of the acquisition date or as of the period ending June 30, 2022. The estimated fair value of the Notes Payable at the acquisition date 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. On January 1, 2022, BSA was merged into scil animal care company Srl, a wholly owned subsidiary of scil animal care company GmbH ("scil").
As additional consideration for the shares, the Company agreed to a contingent earn-out of $2.6 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 was $2.3 million as of the acquisition date and as of December 31, 2021, and subsequently decreased to $1.8 million as of June 30, 2022.
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.
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 July 1, 2021.

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 June 30, 2022, approximately $0.4 million of the indemnification agreement remains outstanding.

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 June 30, 2022, $0.1 million of the indemnification holdback was released for licensing fees and $0.3 million of the indemnification holdback remains outstanding. As additional consideration for the shares, the Company agreed to a contingent earn-out of $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 $0 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The total purchase consideration exceeded the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, resulting in $4.2 million of goodwill, primarily related to expanded opportunities with our offerings.

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.

Both parties in this arrangement are active participants and are exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of the activities of the collaboration. The parties are actively working on developing and testing the product as well as funding the research and development. Heska classifies the amounts paid for research and development work within the North America segment research and development operating expenses. Expense is recognized when incurred and in accordance with the development plan.

Total income tax benefit$(1,133)$(1,051)$(3,341)$(2,617)
        
There were cash payments for income taxes, net of refunds, of $0.9 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and there were cash payments of $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company had a tax benefit of $1.1 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the tax benefit of $1.1 million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The increase in tax benefit in the six month period is due to an increased loss for financial reporting purposes. The Company recognized $0.1 million in excess tax expense related to employee share-based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $0.6 million excess tax benefit recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Company recognized $0.5 million in excess tax benefits related to employee share-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a deferred tax asset of approximately $5.7 million from net operating losses and tax credits. The Company has a valuation allowance recorded on statutory deferred tax assets in Germany and a partial valuation allowance recorded on state net operating losses in the US. In the second quarter, the Company forecasts an increase of approximately $0.6 million of the valuation allowance through the annual effective tax rate used to estimate income tax expense. The increase is due to forecasted future financial losses in Germany. After the increase, the net valuation allowance is forecasted to be approximately $3.4 million as of December 31, 2022.

The following potentially outstanding common shares from 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):

1,223 1,370 1,287 1,002 

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. 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 six months ended June 30, 2022, and the three and six months ended June 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.

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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, included in Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 defended itself from the claim but ultimately reached a settlement agreement and paid $0.8 million to the defendant on April 28, 2022. The Company is indemnified by the scil acquisition agreement for this claim.

As of June 30, 2022, 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.

Global Supply and Licensing Agreement

On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into a global supply and licensing agreement with VolitionRx Limited (“Volition”) to adapt and commercialize the Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Screening Test at the point of care for canines and felines on Heska’s technology. On March 30, 2022, the Company made an upfront milestone

payment of $10 million to Volition in exchange for exclusive rights to develop the Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Screening Test for the point of care and non-exclusive rights for central reference lab testing. The full $10 million payment was expensed to Research and development on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company is obligated to pay an additional $13 million on or before December 31, 2024, if certain milestones are met, or to obtain an extended timeline to meet those milestones. If those milestones are not met by the agreed upon extension, the agreement may be terminated. However, if the $13 million milestones are met, the agreement will have a total term of 22 years for exclusivity in point of care testing. If the first milestones are met and the agreement does not terminate, there will be another $5 million payment due upon the achievement of an additional milestone within the remaining term of the agreement. These potential future milestone payments have not yet been accrued, as the Company has not deemed them probable at this time.

16.    CONVERTIBLE NOTES

Convertible Notes

On September 17, 2019, the Company issued $86.25 million aggregate principal amount of 3.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Notes"), which included the exercise in full of an $11.25 million purchase option, to certain financial institutions as the initial purchasers of the Notes (the "Initial Purchasers"). The Company pays interest on the Notes semiannually in arrears at a rate of 3.750% per annum on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated September 17, 2019, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were approximately $83.7 million after deducting the Initial Purchasers' discounts and the offering expenses payable by the Company.

Refer to Note 16, Convertible Notes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2021 Form 10-K for further information on the Notes.

No portion of the Notes was converted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the liability was classified as long-term debt on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022.
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06, 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.

The following table summarizes the net carrying amount of the Notes (in thousands):

Principal amount of the Notes$86,250 $86,250 
Unamortized debt discount(2,002)(2,216)
Net carrying amount$84,248 $84,034 
Interest expense related to the Notes is comprised of the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and the contractual coupon interest as follows (in thousands):

$917 $912 $1,831 $1,822 

As of June 30, 2022, the remaining period over which the unamortized discount will be amortized is 51 months.

The estimated fair value of the Notes was $114.9 million and $194.3 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, determined through consideration of quoted market prices in less active markets. The fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, which is defined in ASC 820 as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable. Based on our closing stock price of $94.51 on June 30, 2022, the if-converted value exceeded the aggregate principal amount of the Notes by $7.8 million.

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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.
The following table summarizes the net carrying amount of the note receivable, including the unamortized discount and allowance for expected credit losses, as well as the fair value of the embedded derivative asset (in thousands):
June 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Principal amount$6,650 $6,650 
Unamortized discount(509)(672)
Allowance for expected credit losses
(3,565)(67)
Net carrying amount2,576 5,911 
Embedded derivative asset355 889 
Related party convertible note receivable, net$2,931 $6,800 

The allowance for expected credit losses increased $3.5 million from December 31, 2021. The change reflects increased risk of collectability given the investee's current financial position and ability to achieve certain events required for conversion of the note, which are largely driven by more recent challenges and uncertainties in the macro-economic environment. These factors increased the probability of default.

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

HESKA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


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 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. 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 expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.

18.    SEGMENT REPORTING
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, and 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.
Our CODM evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on Revenue, Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit, Gross Margin and Operating Income. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information; however, we have included total asset information by segment below as there was a material change in total assets by segment as of June 30, 2022, due to the acquisition of VetZ on January 3, 2022.

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, 2021 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 August 5, 2022 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, single-use offerings such as in-clinic diagnostics tests; Point of Care digital imaging diagnostic instruments and veterinary practice information management software solutions (“PIMS”); digital cytology services; vaccines; local and cloud-based data services; allergy testing and immunotherapy; and heartworm preventive products. Our core focus is on supporting veterinarians in the canine and feline healthcare space.
-33-



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. Point of Care laboratory consumables also include single-use diagnostic tests, such as those used for heartworm testing. 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 & informatics, 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. On January 3, 2022 we acquired VetZ GmbH, a European leader in veterinary practice information management software solutions, which is now included as a component within Point of Care imaging & informatics.
Pharmaceuticals, Vaccines and Diagnostic ("PVD") revenue primarily includes 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 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 75% and 25%, respectively, of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 78% and 22%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue from direct sales and distribution relationships represented 72% and 28%, respectively, of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 71% and 29%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

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. In some part, and of different degrees depending on the geography, due to the introduction and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines, restrictions eased in many of the countries in which we operate. Global diagnostic animal health demand continued throughout 2021 and into 2022. While this trend is encouraging, with the rise in COVID-19 variants, the extent to which the continuation, or additional waves, 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.

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. Because our long-term subscription programs, the commercial program of our largest revenue category, Point of Care laboratory instruments and consumables, include annual price adjustments at a greater of 4% or the consumer price index, we are able to mitigate some of these costs in this highly inflationary environment.

Our financial position remains strong as we have a cash balance of $171.9 million as of June 30, 2022. 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.
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.

Revenue
Total revenue decreased 0.4% to $64.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $64.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Total revenue increased 3.2% to $129.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $125.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the decrease in revenue is driven mainly by impacts from foreign exchange due to the weakening of the Euro; partially offset by the acquisition of VetZ. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 the increase is driven by growth in POC imaging & informatics of 13.8% primarily as a result of our acquisition of VetZ. We also experienced a 17.0% growth in POC laboratory instruments as a result of the introduction of Element AIM as well as increased capital lease placements globally. These increases were partially offset by declines in PVD of 15.0%, as a result of decreased demand for the production of Tri-Heart, declines in OVP of 5.8% due to timing of production, and impacts from foreign exchange.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased 0.2% to $27.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $27.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit increased 7.1% to $56.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $52.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Gross margin increased to 42.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 42.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross margin increased to 43.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 42.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2021.The increases in both gross profit and gross margin percentage were due to higher sales of consumables relative to total sales, which are our highest margin products, further strengthened by product rationalization and transition effort within our international segment and overall annual price increases. The acquisition of VetZ also favorably impacted gross profit and gross margin. The metrics were unfavorably impacted by product mix and increased idle plant costs within our OVP business.
Operating Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses were $11.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $12.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of 5.5%. Selling and marketing expenses were $23.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $23.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of 1.7%. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily driven by lower stock-based compensation due to the roll off of vested grants; partially offset by recent acquisitions, which are in line with management's expectations, as well as increased travel and trade show activity as a result of relaxed COVID restrictions compared to the prior year. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is driven by the acquisition of VetZ of $1.6 million, higher compensation, and increased travel and trade show expenses due to relaxing COVID restrictions, which were partially offset by lower stock compensation of $1.8 million due to the roll off of vested grants.
Research and development expenses increased to $2.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Research and development expenses increased to $14.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The variance for the three months ended June 30, 2022 is related to recent acquisitions. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily related to a $10.0 million dollar payment for an exclusive global supply and licensing agreement to adapt and commercialize the Heska Nu.Q® vet cancer screening test. Refer to Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. In addition to this, we also experienced increased costs associated with recent acquisitions and higher general research costs.
-37-



General and administrative expenses increased 38.4% to $18.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $13.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. General and administrative expenses increased 34.7% to $34.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $25.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2022 is related to the $3.5 million provision for credit losses on a convertible note receivable (Refer to Note 17, Note Receivables in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q), higher stock-based compensation costs $0.7 million, and higher cash compensation costs. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is driven by the $3.5 million provision for credit losses on a convertible note receivable, increased stock-based compensation expenses of $2.9 million, increased costs related to recent acquisitions (including non-recurring items), and increased cash compensation costs.
Interest and Other Expense, net
Interest and other expense, net, was $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, roughly flat compared to $0.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Interest and other expense, net, was $0.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Income Tax Benefit
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had a total income tax benefit of $1.1 million, including $1.2 million of domestic deferred income tax benefit and $57 thousand of current income tax expense. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had a total income tax benefit of $1.1 million, including $1.1 million of domestic deferred income tax benefit and $36 thousand of current income tax expense. The Company recognized $0.1 million in excess tax expense related to employee share-based compensation in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $0.6 million in excess tax benefit recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 the Company had a total income tax benefit of $3.3 million, including $3.6 million of domestic deferred income tax benefit and $0.2 million of current income tax expense. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had a total income tax benefit of $2.6 million, including $3.3 million of domestic deferred income tax benefit and $0.7 million of current income tax expense. The tax benefit for the 2022 period versus the 2021 period is due to an increased loss for financial reporting.
Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Heska Corporation
Net loss attributable to Heska was $5.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net loss attributable to Heska of $0.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Net loss attributable to Heska was $15.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net income attributable to Heska of $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change for the three months ended June 30, 2022 is due to a $3.5 million provision for credit losses for a convertible note receivable included in General and administrative expenses as part of operating expenses, as well as $0.5 million for the mark-to-market adjustment of the fair value of the embedded derivative on the convertible note receivable, which is included in Interest and other (income) expense. Refer to Note 17, Note Receivables in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The change for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is due to the $10.0 million licensing payment, the $3.5 million provision for credit losses on the convertible note receivable, increased stock and cash compensation costs as well as non-recurring and recurring costs associated with recent acquisitions, partially offset by increases in revenue and gross profit.
-38-



Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA in the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $7.0 million (10.8% adjusted EBITDA margin), compared to $8.4 million (13.0% adjusted EBITDA margin) in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA in the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $14.7 million (11.3% adjusted EBITDA margin), compared to $16.8 million (13.4% adjusted EBITDA margin) in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is driven by increased research and development expenses (mostly related to acquisitions) and higher compensation costs. 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) Income Per Share
Loss per share attributable to Heska was $0.51 per diluted share in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to loss of $0.06 per diluted share in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Loss per share attributable to Heska was $1.48 per diluted share in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to income of $0.13 per diluted share in the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the loss is largely due to increased acquisition related, non-recurring items and extraordinary charges not indicative of ongoing operations, primarily related to a $3.5 million provision for credit losses for a convertible note receivable as well as $0.5 million for the mark-to-market adjustment of the fair value of the embedded derivative on the convertible note receivable. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the loss is due to increased acquisition related, non-recurring items and extraordinary charges not indicative of ongoing operations, primarily the $10.0 million licensing payment, the $3.5 million provision for credit losses for a convertible note receivable as well as $0.5 million for the mark-to-market adjustment of the fair value of the embedded derivative on the convertible note receivable, as well as other increased operating expenses, partially offset by higher revenue and gross profit, as discussed above.
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share
Non-GAAP EPS was income of $0.34 per diluted share in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to income of $0.50 per diluted share in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Non-GAAP EPS was income of $0.62 per diluted share in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to income of $1.08 per diluted share in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to increased operating expenses, partially offset by higher revenue and profit. 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.

The costs for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are primarily related to a $3.5 million provision for credit losses for a convertible note receivable included in General and administrative expenses as part of operating expenses, as well as $0.5 million for the mark-to-market adjustment of the fair value of the embedded derivative on the convertible note receivable, which is included in Interest and other (income) expense. Refer to Note 17, Note Receivables in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were incurred primarily as a result of the $3.5 million provision for credit losses for a convertible note receivable, the $0.5 million mark-to-market adjustment of the fair value of the embedded derivative on the convertible note receivable, and a $10.0 million licensing payment. The remainder of the costs in both periods were incurred as a result of acquisition related charges.

(1) To exclude the effect of acquisition related costs, non-recurring items and extraordinary charges not indicative of ongoing operations of $4.6 million and $15.6 million for the three and six months ending June 30, 2022, and $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ending June 30, 2021. The costs for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are primarily related to a $3.5 million provision for credit losses for a convertible note receivable included in General and administrative expenses as part of operating expenses, as well as $0.5 million for the mark-to-market adjustment of the fair value of the embedded derivative on the convertible note receivable, which is included in Interest and other (income) expense. Refer to Note 17, Note Receivables in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were incurred primarily as a result of the $3.5 million provision for credit losses for a convertible note receivable, the $0.5 million mark-to-market adjustment of the fair value of the embedded derivative on the convertible note receivable, and a $10.0 million licensing payment. The remainder of the costs in both periods were incurred as a result of acquisition related charges.

(2) To exclude the effect of amortization of acquired intangibles of $1.7 million and $4.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.7 million and $3.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. These costs were incurred as part of the purchase accounting adjustments for recent acquisitions.

(3) To exclude the effect of purchase accounting adjustments for inventory step up amortization of $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

(4) Represents income tax expense utilizing an estimated effective tax rate that adjusts for non-GAAP measures including: acquisition related, non-recurring and extraordinary costs (excluding items which are not deductible for tax of $0 and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $40 thousand and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively), amortization of acquired intangibles, purchase accounting adjustments, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, and stock-based compensation. This incorporates the discrete tax expense related to stock-based compensation of $0.1 million and benefits of $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to benefits of $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. This also includes the tax benefits related to R&D tax credit of $0.2 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $0 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 respectively. Adjusted effective tax rates are approximately 25% for both periods presented.

Impact of Inflation
In recent years, inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations. Refer to Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and Current Economic Environment section included within Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of this Form 10-Q.
Analysis by Segment
The North America segment includes sales and costs from the United States, Canada and Mexico. The International segment includes sales and costs from Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Spain, and Switzerland.
The North America segment represented approximately 63.2% and 60.5% of our revenue and the International segment represented approximately 36.8% and 39.5% of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
The following sections and tables set forth, for the periods indicated, certain data derived from our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements Loss (in thousands).

North America segment revenue increased 0.9% to $40.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $40.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The $0.4 million increase was driven by a 5.4% increase in POC laboratory consumables, mostly driven by price favorability, and a 10.1% increase in PVD primarily as a result of timing of raw materials for the production of Tri-Heart. This is mostly offset by lower POC imaging & informatics sales of (16.9)%. North America segment revenue increased 0.6% to $78.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $77.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $0.5 million increase was driven by a 10.4% increase in POC laboratory instruments and consumables, in part driven by introduction of Element AIM, which was not present in the prior year period, as well as increased capital lease placements and favorable price on consumables due to annual price escalators. This is mostly offset by a decline in PVD, partially as a result of decreased demand for the production of Tri-Heart, and lower POC imaging & informatics sales of (13.3)%.

Gross profit for the North America segment was $18.8 million compared to $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Gross margin was 46.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 47.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin was driven by unfavorable product mix primarily related to the impact of lower sales and increased idle plant costs in our OVP product line. Gross profit was $36.7 million for six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $36.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Gross margin was 46.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 47.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin was driven by unfavorable product mix primarily related to the impact of lower sales and increased idle plant costs in our OVP product line, and the impact of low margin Element AIM and pathology placements, partially offset by higher consumable margins.
North America operating loss was $4.5 million and $16.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to operating income of $0.1 million and $1.2 million in three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The loss in the current year periods is driven by increased operating expenses, primarily due to higher acquisition related costs, non-recurring items and extraordinary charges not indicative of ongoing operations including a $3.5 million provision for credit losses on a convertible note receivable in the second quarter of 2022, a $10.0 million licensing payment in the first quarter of 2022, higher cash-based compensation expenses, and lower gross profit.

International segment revenue was $23.8 million compared to $24.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease is driven by unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $2.7 million, partially offset by the sales from the acquisition of VetZ within POC imaging & informatics. International segment revenue was $51.2 million compared to $47.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily due to a $5.7 million increase in sales in POC imaging & informatics, which includes the acquisition of VetZ, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $4.4 million.
Gross profit for the International segment was $8.5 million compared to $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Gross profit for the International segment was $19.8 million compared to $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Gross margin for the International segment was 35.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 32.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross margin for the International segment was 38.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 33.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in gross profit and gross margin for both periods is driven by favorable product mix, particularly within POC laboratory consumables. The acquisition of VetZ also favorably impacted gross margin.
International segment operating loss was $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. International segment operating loss was $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increased operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 is driven by increased operating expenses for the development of new technology related to the acquisition of VetZ; partially offset by higher gross profit. The decreased operating loss for six months ended June 30, 2022 is driven by higher revenue and gross profit, partially offset by increased operating expenses for the development of new technology related to the acquisition of VetZ.

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 $171.9 million.

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, investment in key corporate functions, 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, 2021. 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.
Effect of currency translation on cash
Net effect of foreign currency translations on cash was a $1.6 million negative impact for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and a $0.2 million negative impact for the six months ended June 30, 2021. These effects are related to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the Swiss Franc, Euro, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, and Malaysian Ringgit, which are the functional currencies of our subsidiaries.
