NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1:Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S.") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated results for the interim periods presented. Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of ICU Medical, Inc., ("ICU") a Delaware corporation, filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2020.

We are engaged in the development, manufacturing and sale of innovative medical products used in vascular therapy and critical care applications. We sell the majority of our products through our direct sales force and through independent distributors throughout the U.S. and internationally. Additionally, we sell our products on an original equipment manufacturer basis to other medical device manufacturers. All subsidiaries are wholly owned and are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Note 2: New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this update provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden for reference rate reform on financial reporting. Due to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), regulators around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. Optional expedients may be applied to contracts that are modified as a result of the reference rate reform. Modifications of contracts within the scope of Topic 470, Debt, should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate. Modifications of contracts within the scope of ASC 842, Leases, should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contracts with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate (incremental borrowing rate). Exceptions to Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, results in not having a dedesignation of a hedging relationship if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The impact of this ASU on our contracts has not been material.

Note 3: Restructuring, Strategic Transaction and Integration

Restructuring, strategic transaction and integration expenses were $2.9 million and $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020 respectively.

Restructuring

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, restructuring charges were $0.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively. Restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were primarily related to severance and costs related to office and other facility closures. Restructuring charges are included in the above restructuring, strategic transaction and integration expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The following table summarizes the details of changes in our restructuring-related accrual for the period ended March 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Facility closure expenses	1,563		—		—		17		1,580
	$	3,421	$	43	$	(435)	$	29	$	3,058

Strategic transaction and integration expenses

We incurred and expensed $2.9 million and $5.1 million in strategic transaction and integration expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are included in restructuring, strategic transaction and integration expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. The strategic transaction and integration expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were primarily related to integration costs associated with acquisitions, the Hospira Infusion Systems ("HIS") earn-out dispute with Pfizer and one-time costs incurred to comply with regulatory initiatives. The strategic transaction and integration expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were primarily related to the integration of the HIS business acquired in 2017 from Pfizer, which included the migration of IT systems at our Austin facility.

Note 4: Revenue

Our primary product lines are Infusion Consumables, Infusion Systems, IV Solutions and Critical Care. The vast majority of our sales of these products are made on a stand-alone basis to hospitals and distributors. Revenue is typically recognized upon transfer of control of the products, which we deem to be at point of shipment. However, for purposes of revenue recognition for our software licenses and renewals, we consider the control of these products to be transferred to a customer at a certain point in time; therefore, we recognize revenue at the start of the applicable license term.

Payment is typically due in full within 30 days of delivery or the start of the contract term. Revenue is recorded in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We offer certain volume-based rebates to our distribution customers, which we record as variable consideration when calculating the transaction price. Rebates are offered on both a fixed and tiered/variable basis. In both cases, we use information available at the time and our historical experience with each customer to estimate the most likely rebate amount. We also provide chargebacks to distributors that sell to end-customers at prices determined under a contract between us and the end-customer. Chargebacks are the difference between the prices we charge our distribution customers and the contracted prices we have with the end customer which are processed as credits to our distribution customers. In estimating the expected value of chargeback amounts in order to determine the transaction price, we use information available at the time, including our historical experience.

We also warranty products against defects and have a policy permitting the return of defective products, for which we accrue and expense at the time of sale using information available at that time and our historical experience. We also provide for extended service-type warranties, which we consider to be separate performance obligations. We allocate a portion of the transaction price to the extended service-type warranty based on its estimated relative selling price, and recognize revenue over the period the warranty service is provided. Our revenues are recorded at the net sales price, which includes an estimate for variable consideration related to rebates, chargebacks and product returns.

Ending balance, March 31, 2020	$	(8,472)

As of March 31, 2021, revenue from remaining performance obligations related to implementation of software and equipment is $7.3 million. We expect to recognize substantially all of this revenue within the next three to six months dependent on implementation restrictions due to the novel coronavirus and its variants ("COVID-19"). Revenue from remaining performance obligations related to annual software licenses is $1.5 million. We expect to recognize substantially all of this revenue over the next twelve months.

Note 5: Leases

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Our operating lease assets are separately stated in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and our financing lease assets are included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our lease liabilities are included in accrued liabilities, and other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We have elected not to recognize an ROU asset and lease liability for leases with terms of twelve months or less.

Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, therefore we use our incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term based on the information available at commencement date. Our lease ROU assets exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms include options to extend when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. All of our leases have

ICU MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

stated lease payments, which may include fixed rental increases. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Our leases are for corporate, research and development and sales and support offices, a distribution facility, device service centers and certain equipment. Our leases have original lease terms of one year to fifteen years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to an additional five years. For all of our leases, we do not include optional periods of extension in our current lease terms for the exercise of options to extend is not reasonably certain.

The following table presents the components of our lease cost (in thousands):


	For the three months ended March 31

Note 6: Net Income Per Share

ICU MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus dilutive securities. Dilutive securities include outstanding common stock options and unvested restricted stock units, less the number of shares that could have been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the options, using the treasury stock method. Options and restricted stock units that are anti-dilutive are not included in the treasury stock method calculation. There were 12,080 and 15,333 anti-dilutive securities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Note 7: Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Hedge Accounting and Hedging Program

The purpose of our hedging program is to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk on forecasted expenses denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating unit. We do not issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. The par forward contract is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge. Our derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are classified based on the instrument's maturity date. We record changes in the intrinsic value of the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as a component of Other Comprehensive Income and we reclassify that gain or loss into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

In March 2020, we entered into a one-year cross-currency par forward contract that extends our current hedge of a portion of our Mexico forecasted expenses denominated in Pesos ("MXN"). The total notional amount of this outstanding derivative as of March 31, 2021 was approximately 327.6 million MXN. The term of the one-year contract is November 3, 2020 to December 1, 2021. The derivative instrument matures in equal monthly amounts at a fixed forward rate of 24.26 MXN/USD.

In November 2018, we entered into a one-year cross-currency par forward contract that hedges of a portion of our Mexico forecasted expenses denominated in MXN. The term of the one-year hedge was November 1, 2019 to November 3, 2020. The derivative instrument matured in equal monthly amounts at a fixed forward rate of 22.109 MXN/USD.

The following table presents the fair values of our derivative instruments included within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2021, we expect approximately $2.3 million of the deferred gains on the outstanding derivatives in accumulated other comprehensive income to be reclassified to net income during the next twelve months concurrent with the underlying hedged transactions also being reported in net income.

Note 8: Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

•Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or

ICU MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

•Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair values of the assets or liabilities.

Earn-out Liability

In 2017, we recognized an earn-out liability upon the acquisition of HIS from Pfizer. Pfizer was entitled to receive between $191.3 million and $225.0 million in additional cash consideration based on the achievement of certain performance targets for the combined company for the three years ending December 31, 2019. The initial fair value of the earn-out was determined by employing a Monte Carlo simulation in a risk neutral framework. The underlying simulated variable was adjusted EBITDA. The adjusted EBITDA volatility estimate was based on a study of historical asset volatility for a set of comparable public companies. The model included other assumptions including the market price of risk, which was calculated as the weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") less the long term risk free rate. The initial value assigned to the contingent consideration was a result of forecasted product demand of our HIS business. At each reporting date subsequent to the acquisition we remeasured the earn-out using the same methodology above and recognized any changes in value. As of December 31, 2019, we determined that we did not meet the necessary performance targets that would require payout of any of the HIS earn-out liability. As of the date of this filing, Pfizer has disputed our determination that the performance targets requiring payout of the HIS earn-out liability were not met. The dispute is being resolved by binding arbitration that will likely be concluded during the third quarter of 2021. Given the uncertainty of any arbitration, it may be possible that we will incur a loss with regards to this matter. If we are unsuccessful in arbitration such that it is determined that we met the necessary performance targets for any of the HIS earn-out liability, we will be obligated to pay Pfizer between $191.3 million and $225.0 million in additional cash consideration.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we recognized an earn-out liability related to the acquisition of Pursuit Vascular, Inc. ("Pursuit"). Pursuit's former equity holders are entitled up to $50.0 million in additional cash consideration contingent upon the achievement of certain sales and gross profit targets for specific customers. The earn-out will be calculated as a percentage of gross profit achieved during the earn-out period against a pre-determined target gross profit, not to exceed $50.0 million. We used a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the earn-out liability. The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables to determine the value of the earn-out liability including historical volatility, a risk free interest rate, counter party credit risk and projected future gross profit, see below simulation input table related to Pursuit. The historical volatility was based on the median of ICU and a certain peer group. The risk-free interest rate is equal to the yield, as of the valuation date, of the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bill that is commensurate with the term of the earn-out. The counter party credit risk is based on a synthetic credit rating of B1. If the probabilities in the model significantly change from what we initially and subsequently anticipate, the change could have a significant impact on our financial statements in the period recognized. Our contingent earn-out liability is separately stated in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of the Level 3 earn-out liabilities measured at estimated fair value (in thousands):

Note 9: Investment Securities

Our investment securities currently consist of short-term and long-term corporate bonds. Our investment securities are considered available-for-sale and are “investment grade” and carried at fair value. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are charged against net earnings when a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary. Our management reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other than temporary, such as the length and extent of the fair value decline, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and for equity investments, our intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. The amortized cost of the debt securities are adjusted for the amortization of premiums computed under the effective interest method. Such amortization is included in investment income in other income (expense), net on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. There have been no realized gains or losses on their disposal. Realized gains and losses are accounted for on the specific identification method. The scheduled maturities of the debt securities are between 2021 and 2024. All short-term investment securities are callable within one year.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

March 31, 2021 included a discrete tax benefit of $1.8 million related to excess tax benefits recognized on stock option exercises and the vesting of restricted stock units during the period.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% principally because of the effect of the mix of U.S. and foreign incomes, state income taxes, GILTI, FDII and tax credits.

Note 16: Long-Term Obligations

Five-year Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility ("Credit Facility")

On November 8, 2017, we entered into a Credit Facility with various lenders for $150.0 million, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing lender. During March 2020, as a result of market uncertainty caused by COVID-19, we preemptively borrowed $150.0 million on our Credit Facility as a conservative measure to manage any potential short-term liquidity risk. In September 2020, we fully repaid the borrowings under our Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2021, we had no borrowings and $150.0 million of availability under the Credit Facility. Principal payments on the revolving Credit Facility are made at our discretion with the unpaid amount due at maturity. The Credit Facility matures on November 8, 2022. Interest on borrowings under the Credit Facility, at our option, is based on the Base Rate plus applicable margin or the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus applicable margin, see further details in Part II, Item 8, of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Debt Covenants

The Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants pertaining to Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage and Consolidated Total Leverage Ratios. In addition, the Credit Facility has restrictions pertaining to limitations on debt, liens, negative pledges, loans, advances, acquisitions, other investments, dividends, distributions, redemptions, repurchases of equity interests, fundamental changes and asset sales and other dispositions, prepayments, redemptions and purchases of subordinated debt and other junior debt, transactions with affiliates, dividend and payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries, changes in line of business, fiscal year and accounting practices and amendment of organizational documents and junior debt documents.

The Consolidated Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of Consolidated Total Funded Indebtedness on such date, to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, as defined under the Credit Facility Agreement, for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters. The maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio is not more than 3.00 to 1.00.

The Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of: (a) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA less the sum of (i) capital expenditures, (ii) federal, state, local and foreign income taxes paid in cash and (iii) cash restricted payments made after the closing date, to (b) Consolidated Fixed Charges for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters, calculated on a pro forma basis. The minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is 2.00 to 1.00.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2021.

Note 17: Stockholders' Equity

Treasury Stock

In August 2019, our Board of Directors approved a new share purchase plan to purchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock. This plan replaced our existing plan and has no expiration date. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we did not purchase any shares of our common stock under our stock purchase plans. As of March 31, 2021, all of the $100.0 million available for purchase was remaining under the plan. We are currently limited on share purchases in accordance with the terms and conditions of our Credit Facility (see Note 16: Long-Term Obligations).

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we withheld 37,423 shares of our common stock from employee vested restricted stock units in consideration for $7.7 million in payments made on the employee's behalf for their minimum statutory income tax withholding obligations. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we withheld 63,511 shares of our common stock from employee vested restricted stock units in consideration for $12.2 million in payments made on the employee's behalf for their minimum statutory income tax withholding obligations. Treasury stock is used to issue shares for stock option exercises, restricted stock grants and employee stock purchase plan stock purchases.

Note 18: Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings, most of which are routine litigation, in the normal course of business. Our management does not believe that the resolution of the unsettled legal proceedings that we are involved with will have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted under Delaware law and to indemnify customers as to certain intellectual property matters or other matters related to sales of our products. There is no maximum limit on the indemnification that may be required under these agreements. Although we can provide no assurances, we have never incurred, nor do we expect to incur, any material liability for indemnification.

Contingencies

During November 2019, we acquired Pursuit. Total consideration for the acquisition includes a potential contractual earn-out of up to $50.0 million, to be paid to former Pursuit equity holders, calculated based upon the achievement of certain performance targets during the earn-out period (see Note 8: Fair Value Measurement).

We had a contractual obligation in connection with our 2017 acquisition of HIS, which as of December 31, 2019 we determined did not meet the necessary performance targets that would require payout of any of the HIS earn-out liability. As of the date of this filing, Pfizer has disputed our determination that the performance targets requiring payout of the HIS earn-out liability were not met. The dispute is being resolved by binding arbitration that will likely be concluded during the third quarter of 2021. Given the uncertainty of any arbitration, it may be possible that we will incur a loss with regards to this matter. If we are unsuccessful in arbitration such that it is determined that we met the necessary performance targets for any of the HIS earn-

out liability, we will have to pay between $191.3 million and $225.0 million in additional cash consideration (see Note 8, Fair Value Measurements).

Commitments

We have non-cancellable operating lease agreements where we are contractually obligated to pay certain lease payment amounts (see Note 5: Leases).

Note 19: Collaborative and Other Arrangements

On February 3, 2017, we entered into two Manufacturing and Supply Agreements ("MSAs"), (i) whereby Pfizer will manufacture and supply us with certain agreed upon products for an initial five-year term with a one-time two-year option to extend and (ii) whereby we will manufacture and supply Pfizer certain agreed upon products for a term of five or ten years depending on the product, also with a one-time two-year option to extend. The MSAs provide each party with mutually beneficial interests and both of the MSAs are to be jointly managed by both Pfizer and ICU. The initial supply price, which will be annually updated, is in full consideration for all costs associated with the manufacture, documentation, packaging and certification of the products. On January 1, 2021, we amended our MSA with Pfizer, whereby we manufacture and supply certain agreed upon products to Pfizer. The amendments included a change to the term of the agreement to end on December 31, 2024 with Pfizer's unilateral election to extend through December 31, 2025. Other changes to the terms of the MSA included (i) amendments to our level of supply of products to Pfizer, (ii) certain changes to our manufacturing lines, (iii) updates to our supply price with added volume price tiers for annual periods and (iv) certain minimum purchase requirements for certain products.

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

The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in this Form 10-Q, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

When used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to ICU Medical, Inc ("ICU") and its subsidiaries included in our condensed consolidated financial statements unless context requires otherwise.

Business Overview

We are one of the world's leading pure-play infusion therapy companies with global operations and a wide-ranging product portfolio that includes IV solutions, IV smart pumps with pain management and safety software technology, dedicated and non-dedicated IV sets and needlefree connectors designed to help meet clinical, safety and workflow goals. In addition, we manufacture automated pharmacy IV compounding systems with workflow technology, closed systems transfer devices for preparing and administering hazardous IV drugs, and cardiac monitoring systems for critically ill patients.

Our primary customers are acute care hospitals, wholesalers, ambulatory clinics and alternate site facilities, such as clinics, home health care providers and long-term care facilities. We sell our products in more than 90 countries throughout the world.

We categorize our products into four main product lines: Infusion Consumables, Infusion Systems, IV Solutions and Critical Care. We have presented our financial results in accordance with these product lines, with our primary products in each line listed below.

Operations Overview

COVID-19

The novel coronavirus and its variants (“COVID-19”) continues to have an impact on our business operations. Our manufacturing, distribution and pump service facilities continue to operate under our business continuity plan and our precautionary safety measures implemented to maximize the safety of our employees and mitigate disruption of our business are still in effect. For greater detail on the above mentioned safety measures and a discussion of how future results may potentially be impacted by COVID-19 see Part II, Item 7, of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

While we continually monitor the ongoing and evolving impact of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations the overall impact will not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. The duration and extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be fully predicted at this time, as such, the impact of the pandemic on our overall financial performance remain uncertain and cannot as yet be quantified.

Infusion Consumables

Infusion therapy sets, used in hospitals and ambulatory clinics, consist of a tube running from a bottle or plastic bag containing a solution to a catheter inserted in a patient’s vein, that may or may not be used with an IV pump. Our primary Infusion Consumable products are:

•Clave™ needlefree products, including the MicroClave, MicroClave Clear, and NanoClave™ brand of connectors, accessories, extension and administration sets used for the administration of IV fluids and medications and the Neutron catheter patency device, used to help maintain patency of central venous catheters;

•SwabCap disinfecting cap, used to protect and disinfect any needlefree connector, including competitive brands of connectors;

•ClearGuard HD antimicrobial barrier caps for hemodialysis catheters; and

•TegoTM hemodialysis connector used to cap and protect hemodialysis central venous catheter hubs;

Closed System Transfer Devices ("CSTD") and hazardous drug compounding systems are used to prepare and deliver hazardous IV medications such as those used in chemotherapy, which, if released, can have harmful effects on the healthcare worker and environment. Our products are:

•ChemoLockTM CSTD which utilizes a proprietary needlefree connection method, is used for the preparation and administration of hazardous drugs. ChemoLock is used to limit the escape of hazardous drug or vapor concentrations, block the transfer of environmental contaminants into the system, and eliminates the risk of needlestick injury;

•ChemoClaveTM, an ISO Connection standard and universally compatible CSTD used for the preparation and administration of hazardous drugs. ChemoClave utilizes standard ISO luer locking connections, making it compatible with all brands of needlefree connectors and pump delivery systems. ChemoClave also is used to limit the escape of hazardous drug or vapor concentrations, block the transfer of environmental contaminants into the system, and eliminate the risk of needlestick injury; and

•DianaTM hazardous drug compounding system, an automated sterile compounding system that incorporates ChemoClave and ChemoLock CSTD consumables and IV workflow technology for the accurate, safe, and efficient preparation of hazardous drugs. It is a user-controlled automated system that provides repeatable accuracy of drug mixes and minimizes clinician exposure to hazardous drugs while helping to maintain the sterility of the drugs being mixed.

The preparation of hazardous drugs typically takes place in a pharmacy where drugs are removed from vials and prepared for delivery to a patient. Those prepared drugs are then transferred to a nursing unit where the chemotherapy is administered via an infusion pump set to a patient. Components of the ChemoClave and ChemoLock product lines are used both in pharmacies and on the nursing floors for the preparation and administration of hazardous drugs.

Infusion Systems

We offer a wide range of infusion pumps, dedicated IV sets and software. Our primary Infusion System products are dedicated IV sets and the following:

We manage our product distribution in the U.S. through a network of two owned and one leased distribution facilities in combination with independent distributors and third-party fulfillment and logistics providers. Our end customers, which include healthcare providers and original equipment manufacturer suppliers, may order and receive our products directly from us or through an independent full-line distributor. Internationally, we manage distribution utilizing international regional hubs and through independent distributors.

In the U.S. a substantial amount of our products are sold to group purchasing organization member hospitals. We believe that as healthcare providers continue to either consolidate or join major buying organizations, the success of our products will depend, in part, on our ability, either independently or through strategic relationships to secure long-term contracts with large healthcare providers and major buying organizations. Although we believe that we are not dependent on any single distributor, large healthcare provider or major buying organization for distribution of our products, the loss of a strategic relationship with any one of these organizations or a decline in the demand for our products could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

We believe that achievement of our growth objectives worldwide will require increased efforts by us in sales and marketing and product acquisition and development; however, there is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our growth strategy. Product development or acquisition efforts may not succeed, and even if we do develop or acquire additional products, there is no assurance that we will achieve profitable sales of such products. Increased expenditures for sales and marketing and product acquisition and development may not yield desired results when expected, or at all. While we have taken steps to control these risks, there are certain risks that may be outside of our control, and there is no assurance that steps we have taken will succeed.

Seasonality/Quarterly Results

There are no significant seasonal aspects to our business. We may experience fluctuations in net sales as a result of variations in the ordering patterns of our largest customers, which may be driven more by production scheduling and their inventory levels, rather than by seasonality. Our expenses often do not fluctuate in the same manner as net sales, which may cause fluctuations in operating income that are disproportionate to fluctuations in our revenue.

Consolidated Results of Operations

We present income statement data in Part I, Item 1 - Financial Statements. The following table shows, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the percentages of each income statement caption in relation to total revenue:

In addition to comparing changes in revenue on a U.S. GAAP basis, we also compare the changes in revenue from one period to another using constant currency. We provide constant currency information to enhance the visibility of underlying business trends, excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency translation rates. To calculate our constant currency results, we apply the average exchange rate for revenues from the prior year to the current year results. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a constant currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Infusion Consumables

The following table summarizes our total Infusion Consumables revenue (in millions):


	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020		$ Change		% Change
Infusion Consumables	$	126.4	$	123.5	$	2.9	2.3	%

Infusion Consumables revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in the prior year due to higher demand for our oncology and renal products and foreign exchange gains. These increases were somewhat offset by a decrease in IV therapy sales due to increased distributor orders in the prior year due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. On a constant currency basis, Infusion Consumables revenue would have been $123.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $0.4 million or 0.3%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Infusion Systems

The following table summarizes our total Infusion Systems revenue (in millions):


	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020		$ Change		% Change
Infusion Systems	$	84.3	$	88.4	$	(4.1)	(4.6)	%

Table of Contents

Infusion Systems revenue decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in the prior year due to a decline in our non-large volume pump business as well as lower IV set revenues due to higher COVID-19-related purchases during the first quarter of 2020. On a constant currency basis Infusion Systems revenue would have been $83.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $5.1 million or 5.8%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

IV Solutions

The following table summarizes our total IV Solutions revenue (in millions):


	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020		$ Change		% Change
IV Solutions	$	94.2	$	104.3	$	(10.1)	(9.7)	%

IV Solutions sales decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to customer stocking in the prior year driven by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Critical Care

The following table summarizes our total Critical Care revenue (in millions):


	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020		$ Change		% Change
Critical Care	$	13.1	$	12.4	$	0.7	5.6	%

Critical Care revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of increased sales of our Cogent 2-in-1 hemodynamic monitoring system.

Gross Margins

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, gross margins were 35.4% and 36.9%, respectively. The decrease in gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to capitalized manufacturing variances from the shutdown of our Austin plant in the fourth quarter of 2020 and additional weather-related costs at our Austin plant during the first quarter of 2021.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses

The following table summarizes our total SG&A Expenses (in millions):


	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020		$ Change		% Change
SG&A	$	72.4	$	72.3	$	0.1	0.1	%

SG&A expenses were essentially flat for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in the prior year. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year, legal fees increased $1.4 million and dealer fees increased $1.3 million. These increases were mostly offset by a decrease of $1.2 million in travel expenses and a decrease of $1.0 million in stock based compensation expenses. Legal fees increased due to additional services performed in the current year related to various legal matters. Dealer fees increased due to an increase in revenue from distributors. Travel expenses decreased due to travel restrictions in response to COVID-19. Stock compensation decreased in the current period due to a prior year change in the number of performance shares estimated to vest on one of our executive performance awards, which increased the expense in that period.

Research and Development (“R&D”) Expenses

The following table summarizes our total R&D Expenses (in millions):


	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020		$ Change		% Change
R&D	$	10.7	$	10.7	$	—	—	%

R&D expenses were flat for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in the prior year. R&D expense primarily relates to compensation and related benefit expenses on current R&D projects.

Restructuring and Strategic Transaction and Integration Expenses

Restructuring and strategic transaction and integration expenses were $2.9 million and $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Restructuring charges

Restructuring charges were $0.0 million and $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were primarily related to severance and costs related to office and facility closures. We expect to pay our unpaid restructuring charges as of March 31, 2021 by the end of the year.

Strategic transaction and integration expenses

Strategic transaction and integration expenses were $2.9 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The strategic transaction and integration expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were primarily related to integration costs associated with acquisitions, the Hospira Infusion Systems ("HIS") earn-out dispute with Pfizer and one-time costs incurred to comply with regulatory initiatives. The strategic transaction and integration expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were primarily related to the integration of the HIS business acquired in 2017 from Pfizer, which included the migration of IT systems at our Austin facility.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Earn-out

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there was no change in fair value of the Pursuit earn-out liability for each period, respectively, as the underlying forecasts during those periods did not materially change.

Contract Settlement

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded $0.1 million in contract settlement expense.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The interest expense for both periods includes the per annum commitment fee charged on the unused portion of the revolver under our Credit Facility and the amortization of financing costs that were incurred in 2017 in connection with entering into the Credit Facility. During March 2020, we borrowed $150.0 million under our Credit Facility and, accordingly the interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 also includes interest incurred on borrowings under the Credit Facility (see Note 16: Long-Term Obligations in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information).

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense) netted to $0.7 million and ($5.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the other income, net was related to $0.7 million of interest

Table of Contents

income, $0.5 million in foreign exchange gains and $0.2 million of miscellaneous income partially offset by $0.7 million of loss from disposed assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the other expense, net was primarily related to $6.1 million in foreign exchange losses as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar from the impact of COVID-19, partially offset by interest income.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, income taxes were accrued at an estimated effective tax rate of 12% and 17% , respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% principally because of the effect of the mix of U.S. and foreign incomes, state income taxes, global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"), foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII") and tax credits. The effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2021 included a tax benefit of $1.8 million related to the excess tax benefits recognized on stock option exercises and the vesting of restricted stock units during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first three months of 2021, our cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term investments increased by $31.0 million from $423.8 million at December 31, 2020 to $454.8 million at March 31, 2021.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our net cash provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $51.3 million. Net income plus adjustments for non-cash net expenses contributed $56.9 million. Net cash used in operations as a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities was $5.6 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities included a $20.0 million decrease in accrued liabilities, a $3.5 million increase in other assets and a $0.7 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets. Offsetting these amounts was a $13.2 million decrease in inventories, a $2.4 million increase in accounts payable, a $1.5 million decrease in accounts receivables and $1.4 million in net changes in income taxes, including excess tax benefits and deferred income taxes. The decrease in accrued liabilities was primarily due to the payment of annual bonuses. The net increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets was primarily due to the payment of annual software renewals, offset by the amortization of prepaid insurance and property taxes. The increase in other assets was due to the purchase of spare parts. The decrease in inventory was primarily due to the timing of production and customer purchases combined with the reduction in capitalized manufacturing variances. The increase in accounts payable was due to the timing of payments. The decrease in accounts receivable is primarily due to collection efforts. The net changes in income taxes was a result of the timing of payments.

Our net cash provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $39.5 million. Net income plus adjustments for non-cash net expenses contributed $55.3 million. Net cash used in operations as a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities was $15.8 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities included a $35.1 million decrease in accounts payable, and a $6.4 million increase in other assets. Offsetting these amounts was a $19.4 million decrease in inventories, a $2.6 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $2.3 million in net changes in income taxes,

including excess tax benefits and deferred income taxes, a $0.9 million decrease in accounts receivables, and a $0.5 million increase in accrued liabilities. The decrease in accounts payable was due to the timing of payments. The increase in other assets was due to the purchase of spare parts. The decrease in inventory was primarily due to improved inventory management and increased demand for certain products driven by the global COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets was primarily due to an increase in deferred costs. The net changes in income taxes was a result of the timing of payments.

We have a substantial cash and investment security position generated from operations. We maintain this position to address any operational challenges related to COVID-19, fund our growth, meet increasing working capital requirements, fund capital expenditures and to take advantage of acquisition opportunities that may arise. Our primary investment goal is capital preservation.

Access to Capital

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents along with funds expected to be generated from future operations will provide us with sufficient funds to finance our current operations for the next twelve months. In the event that we experience downturns, cyclical fluctuations in our business that are more severe or longer than anticipated, fail to achieve anticipated revenue and expense levels, or have significant unplanned cash expenditures, we may need to obtain or seek alternative sources of capital or financing, and we can provide no assurances that the terms of such capital or financing will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. Our ability to generate cash flows from operations, issue debt or enter into other financing arrangements on acceptable terms could be adversely affected if there is a material decline in the demand for our products or in the solvency of our customers or suppliers, deterioration in our key financial ratios or credit ratings or other significantly unfavorable changes in conditions.

Credit Facility

We have a five-year Credit Facility with various lenders for $150.0 million, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as the administrative agent (see Note 16: Long-Term Obligations). The Credit Facility has an accordion feature that would enable us to increase the borrowing capacity of the Credit Facility by the greater of (i) $100.0 million and (ii) 2.00x Total Leverage. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we will be subject to certain financial covenants pertaining to leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin tied to the leverage ratio in effect. Any unused portion of the Credit Facility will be subject to a per annum commitment fee which is also calculated using the leverage ratio in effect. The Credit Facility matures in 2022. During March 2020, as a precautionary measure in response to market uncertainty driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, we preemptively increased our liquidity by borrowing $150.0 million under our Credit Facility. In September 2020, we fully repaid the borrowings under our Credit Facility.

Financial Covenants

The Credit Facility contains certain negative financial covenants, including, Consolidated Total Leverage and Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratios.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted under Delaware law and to indemnify customers as to certain intellectual property matters related to sales of our products. There is no maximum limit on the indemnification that may be required under these agreements. Although we can provide no assurances, we have never incurred, nor do we expect to incur, any material liability for indemnification.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 ("Annual Report").

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

If we were to incur borrowings under our Credit Facility, we would face market risk stemming from changes in interest rates.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We transact business globally in multiple currencies, some of which are considered volatile. Our international revenues and expenses and working capital positions denominated in these foreign currencies expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar. As the receiver of foreign currencies we are adversely affected by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency.

In our European operations, our net Euro asset position at March 31, 2021 was approximately €43.5 million. A 10% change in the conversion of the Euro to the U.S. dollar for our cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities from the March 31, 2021 spot rate would impact our consolidated amounts on these balance sheet items by approximately $5.1 million, or 0.7% of these consolidated net assets. We expect that in the future, with the growth of our

Table of Contents

European distribution operations, net Euro denominated instruments will continue to increase. We currently do not hedge our Euro foreign currency exposures.

We have manufacturing facilities and conduct business transactions denominated in the Mexican Peso. We hedge a portion of our manufacturing spend, which reduces our exposure to the foreign currency exchange risk related to the Mexican Peso (see Note 7: Derivatives and Hedging to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of the end of the period covered by this Report, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
