We currently serve three of the largest categories in this market.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OrthoPediatrics Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
We have prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and related notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 1, 2023. The financial data and other financial information disclosed in the notes to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are also unaudited. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations thereunder.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other period.
10
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming our Company will continue as a going concern. We have experienced recurring losses from operations since our inception and had an accumulated deficit of $186,460 and $176,768 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Management continues to monitor cash flows and liquidity on a regular basis. We believe that our cash balance, including short-term investments, at June 30, 2023 and expected cash flows from operations for the next twelve months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, are sufficient to enable us to maintain current and essential planned operations for more than the next twelve months.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We use historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for our judgments and estimates. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Any changes in these estimates will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes in the Company's significant accounting polices as disclosed in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as disclosed below.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that could subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less at inception to be cash equivalents.The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers and and maintains a reserve for expected credit losses. The Company believes the risk of credit losses associated with accounts receivable is low given the history of collections and customer base. Additionally, the Company considers the risk for credit losses associated with short-term investments to be low given the types of investments which primarily include Certificates of Deposits and Treasury Bonds.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments". The ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financials assets including trade receivables held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. This applies to the Company when trade receivables are recorded. At that point in time, they become subject to the new credit loss model and estimates of expected credit losses on trade receivables over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception. Additionally, to the extent that any of the securities investments classified as available-for-sale are in an unrealized loss position, the Company will also be required record an estimate, if any, of those losses driven by credit losses. The Company adopted ASU 2016-16 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption is on a prospective basis and did not have a material impact to the result of operations.
11
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08 "Business Combinations (Topic 805)-Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers". The amendments in this ASU address diversity and inconsistency related to the recognition and measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination. The amendments in this ASU require that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU require that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity that early adopts in an interim period should apply the amendments (1) retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application and (2) prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 effective January 1, 2023 prospectively, resulting in no material impacts to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS
Medtech Concepts LLC
On May 1, 2023, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interest of Medtech Concepts LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MedTech”). MedTech has developed an early-stage, pre-commercial enabling technology platform designed to increase efficiency in the perioperative environment. The solution combines hardware, software, and data analytics to help streamline operative care and support better decision making in the operating room. In the future, the Company believes this enabling technology platform will provide valuable intraoperative resources for surgeons that will improve decision making, drive operating room efficiency, and ultimately improve healthcare for children. The Company also expects that the acquisition will further support future market share gains for its implant systems, similar to what the Company has experienced with the FIREFLY® Technology and the 7D Surgical FLASHTM Navigation platform. The Company does not anticipate material revenue contributions from the platform in 2023.
The sellers of MedTech are being paid a purchase price of approximately $15,274 in the following manner: (i) cash in the aggregate amount of $3,000 was paid on May 1, 2023, the transaction closing date (the “Closing Date”); (ii) 43,751 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00025 per share, representing approximately $2,274 (based on a closing share price of $51.98 on May 1, 2023), were issued on the Closing Date; and (iii) an aggregate of $2,500 payable 50% in cash and 50% in shares of unregistered common stock, will be paid on each of the first four anniversaries of the Closing Date, all subject to the conditions set forth in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), as amended, relating to the transaction.
The Company concluded that the business acquired did not comprise an integrated set of activities that meet the definition of a business and therefore did not result in the acquisition of a business. Instead, the Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition for accounting purposes.
Under the Purchase Agreement, a number of future payments in the form of common stock are contingent on continued service through each applicable payment anniversary date. As such, these amounts have been excluded from measuring the cost of the acquisition. The result is $4,500 of stock compensation which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the four year service period. Future cash payments and stock issuances that are not contingent on continuous service are included in the calculation of consideration. The total consideration is $10,043 after discounting the future guaranteed fixed payments
12
to their present value. Additionally, since this was treated as an asset acquisition, the Company included $97 of transaction costs in the total consideration. The table below reconciles the payments and issuances to total consideration transferred after discounting the future payments to present value.

Anniversary payments | 5,500 | 4,672 | ||||||||||||
Transaction costs | 97 | 97 | ||||||||||||
Total consideration transferred | $ | 10,871 | $ | 10,043 |
As result of this asset acquisition, the Company recorded a trademark asset in the amount of $520 with an indefinite useful life and an intellectual property asset relating to software acquired of $9,523 which will be amortized over a useful life of ten years.
Kevin Unger, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) through April 28, 2023, was one of the sellers in the transaction. As a result, the Board formed a special committee comprised of independent and disinterested directors (the “Special Committee”) with the exclusive authority to review, evaluate, and negotiate, or reject, the potential MedTech acquisition. The Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by both the Special Committee and the full Board (with Mr. Unger abstaining).
Pega Medical
On July 1, 2022, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Pega Medical Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“Pega Medical”). Pega Medical has developed and sells a portfolio of trauma and deformity correction devices for children, including the Fassier-Duval Telescopic Intramedullary System, a well-recognized, innovative implant designed to treat bone deformities in children with osteogenesis imperfecta without disrupting their normal growth. Pega's product portfolio increases our total systems and increases the percentage of total trauma and deformity cases we can treat.
The Company acquired Pega Medical for approximately $32,045, comprised of $32,042 in cash and $3 in stock, representing the repurchase right price to be paid by the Company in the event a selling shareholder leaves employment with Pega Medical for certain reasons during the three-year period following the closing. Approximately $1,052 of the cash consideration was deposited into escrow and will be held for a period of up to eighteen (18) months to cover certain indemnification obligations of the selling shareholders of Pega Medical. Final purchase consideration is subject to certain working capital adjustments yet to be finalized. Additionally, 34,899 shares of unregistered common stock, $0.00025 par value per share, of the Company, representing approximately $1,497 (based on the July 1, 2022 closing share price of $42.90) were issued to the selling shareholders. The common stock issued to the selling shareholders, excluding the value attributable to the repurchase right, is not considered part of the purchase consideration and is subject to a repurchase right previously mentioned. The Company will recognize expense over the three-year service period at which point the right to repurchase will expire. In the event the repurchase right is triggered, the Company will have the right to repurchase the shares of common stock issued to such selling shareholder at a price of $0.10 per share. As of June 30, 2023, 23,266 of these shares were still subject to the repurchase feature. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, the Company also issued $499 in restricted stock units to employees of Pega Medical, which are subject to an approximate three-year vesting schedule. The restricted stock units are not considered part of the purchase consideration.

The fair value estimates and purchase price allocation included above are preliminary while the Company finalizes certain working capital components. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments. The adjustments were primarily the result of updated valuations of the intangible assets and updated estimates of certain liabilities and assets. The adjustment to the intangible assets also resulted in an adjustment to the deferred tax liability. Additionally, the increase in the value of intangible assets resulted in additional amortization expense of approximately $101 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Goodwill declined as a net result of these adjustments.
MD Orthopaedics
On April 1, 2022, OrthoPediatrics Iowa Holdco, Inc., a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, merged with and into MD Orthopaedics, Inc., an Iowa corporation (“MD Ortho”). MD Ortho has developed and manufactures a portfolio of orthopedic clubfoot products. The acquisition expands our total addressable market, serving as a specialty bracing platform company within our Trauma and Deformity business.
14
Under the terms of the related merger agreement, the Company paid to the indirect, sole shareholder of MD Ortho consideration of (a) $8,781 in cash, after adjusting for closing net working capital, and (b) 173,241 shares of unregistered common stock, $0.00025 par value per share, of the Company, representing approximately $9,707 (based on the April 1, 2022 closing share price of $56.03).

Licenses are tied to product launches and do not begin amortizing until the product is launched to the market.
Trademarks are non-amortizing intangible assets which were $16,087 and $14,921 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Trademarks are recorded in Other intangible assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The change in balance during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was the result of the measurement period adjustments associated with Pega Medical, the trademark recorded as a result of the MedTech acquisition, and foreign currency translation adjustments.
During 2022, management determined that a triggering event occurred, indicating that it was more likely than not the fair value of the ApiFix trademark asset was less than the carrying value. As such, the Company completed a quantitative analysis whereby we determined the fair value of the ApiFix trademark asset was below the carrying value. The primary reason for the impairment is the lower forecasted
16
revenue of our ApiFix product than previously expected. We recorded a $3,609 partial impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2022 to reduce the carrying amount of the intangible asset to its estimated fair value. No impairment charges were recorded in any of the other periods presented or for any other indefinite lived trademark assets.
NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The accounting standards related to fair value measurements define fair value and provide a consistent framework for measuring fair value under the authoritative literature. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels.
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. Generally, these fair value measures are model-based valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows, and are based on the best information available, including our own data.
The following table summarize the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company's Level 1 assets consist of short-term, liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less at inception and other short-term investments which are comprised of exchange traded mutual funds and marketable securities with a maturity date greater than 3 months.
The Company's Level 2 assets pertain to certain asset-backed securities, collateralized by non-mortgage-related consumer debt, or certificates of deposit. These securities are predominately priced by third parties, either by a pricing vendor or dealer with significant inputs observable in active markets.
The Company's Level 3 instruments consist of contingent consideration. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability assumed in business combinations is recorded as part of the purchase price consideration of the acquisition and is determined using a discounted cash flow model or probability simulation model. The significant inputs of such models are not always observable in the market, such as forecasted annual revenues, expected volatility and discount rates. The adjustments in the fair value of the contingent consideration payments included an income adjustment of $2,304 and $5,010 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively, and $2,974 and $2,440 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively, which are recorded in other (income) expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table summarizes the change in fair value of Level 3 instruments in 2023:

The recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of contingent consideration liabilities associated with commercial sales milestones include the following significant unobservable inputs as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

The Company is party to a Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Squadron Capital LLC (“Squadron”), as amended from time to time (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”), which
18
provides the Company with a $50,000 revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no outstanding indebtedness under the Loan Agreement.
Borrowings under the credit facility accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (a) six month SOFR plus 8.69% and (b) 10.0%, and the Company is permitted to make interest only payments on amounts outstanding. Prior to December 31, 2021, the interest rate on the facility had been equal to the greater of (a) three month LIBOR plus 8.61% and (b) 10.0%. The Company pays Squadron an unused commitment fee in an amount equal to the per annum rate of 0.50% (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) times the daily unused portion of the revolving credit commitment. The unused commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are made under a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Note, dated June 13, 2022 (the “Amended Revolving Note”), payable, jointly and severally, by the Company and each of its subsidiaries party thereto. The Amended Revolving Note matures at the earlier of: (i) the date on which any person or persons acquire (x) capital stock of the Company possessing the voting power to elect a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors (whether by merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, sale or transfer), or (y) all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, determined on a consolidated basis; and (ii) January 1, 2024.
Borrowings under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and are unconditionally guaranteed by each of its subsidiaries with the exception of Vilex. There are no traditional financial covenants associated with the Loan Agreement. However, there are negative covenants that prohibit us from, among other things, transferring any of our material assets, merging with or acquiring another entity, entering into a transaction that would result in a change of control, incurring additional indebtedness, creating any lien on our property, making investments in third parties and redeeming stock or paying dividends, in each case subject to certain exceptions.
In connection with the purchase of our office and warehouse space in Warsaw, Indiana in August 2013, we entered into a mortgage note payable to Tawani Enterprises Inc. ("Tawani"), an affiliate of Squadron. Pursuant to the terms of the mortgage note, we pay Tawani monthly principal and interest installments of $16 with interest compounded at 5% until maturity in 2028, at which time a final payment of remaining principal and interest is due. The mortgage is secured by the related real estate and building. At June 30, 2023 the mortgage balance was $836 of which current principal of $148 was included in the current portion of long-term debt. As of December 31, 2022, the mortgage balance was $907 of which current principal due of $144 was included in the current portion of long-term debt.
The aggregate interest expense relating to the notes payable to Squadron and the mortgage note payable to Tawani was $11 and $12 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $22 and $25 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
The Company utilizes an estimated annual effective tax rate to determine its provision or benefit for income taxes for interim periods. The income tax provision or benefit is computed by multiplying the estimated annual effective tax rate by the year-to-date pre-tax book income (loss).
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the income tax benefit was $975 compared to $756 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Our effective income tax rate was 9.1% and 7.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The deferred tax assets were fully offset by a valuation allowance at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, with the exception of certain deferred tax liabilities recognized in a foreign jurisdiction as a result of fair value adjustments recorded upon the acquisition of ApiFix and Pega Medical. The Company has recorded a tax benefit during the period ended June 30, 2023 for losses generated in Canada and Israel.

NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock Options
The fair value for options granted at the time of issuance were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes options pricing model. Significant assumptions included in the option value model include the fair value of our common stock at the grant date, weighted average volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and the forfeiture rate. There were no stock options granted in any of the periods presented.
Our stock option activity and related information are summarized as follows:
Weighted-Average | Remaining Contractual Terms | |||||||||||||||||||
Options | Exercise Price | (in Years) | ||||||||||||||||||
Outstanding at January 1, 2023 | 3,556 | $ | 30.97 | 0.7 | ||||||||||||||||
Outstanding at June 30, 2023 | 3,556 | $ | 30.97 | 0.2 |
Options generally include a time-based vesting schedule permitting the options to vest ratably over three years. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all options were fully vested.
There was no stock-based compensation expense on stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Restricted Stock
Our restricted stock activity and related information are summarized as follows:
Weighted-Average | Weighted-Average | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

At June 30, 2023, there was $18,215 of unrecognized compensation expense remaining related to our service-based restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years or earlier upon an elimination of the restriction period as a result of a change in control event.
Stock-based compensation expense on restricted stock amounted to $3,456 and $1,770 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $5,415 and $3,296 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in the stock compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to increase in plan participants as we continue to hire employees to support the continued expansion of our business. Additionally, stock was issued as a component of both the Pega Medical and MedTech acquisitions. A portion of these shares have a service-based restriction, resulting in an increase in stock compensation over the life of the required years of service.

Net loss per share - basic and diluted | $ | (0.13) | $ | (0.02) | $ | (0.43) | $ | (0.48) |
Our basic and diluted net loss per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to their participation rights in dividends and undistributed earnings or losses. Non-vested restricted stock that includes non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities.
Because we have incurred a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share. The following contingently issuable equity shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for all periods presented:
Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||
2023 | 2022 | ||||||||||

The contingently issuable shares in the table above do not include shares of our common stock associated with our recent acquisitions of Pega Medical, ApiFix or MedTech. See Note 3 for additional information regarding future equity issuances under each of these acquisitions.
NOTE 10 – BUSINESS SEGMENT
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. We have one operating and reportable segment, which designs, develops and markets anatomically appropriate implants and devices for children with orthopedic problems. Our chief operating decision-maker, our Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance, accompanied by disaggregated revenue information by product category. We determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective of illustrating the differences in the nature, timing and uncertainty of our revenue streams. We do not assess the performance of our individual product categories on measures of profit or loss, or other asset-based metrics. Therefore, the information below is presented only for revenue by category and geography.

Legal Proceedings

IMED Surgical - Software Ownership Dispute
22
On October 16, 2020, the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Orthex, LLC (“Orthex”), the Company’s largest investor, Squadron Capital, LLC (“Squadron”), and certain other defendants, were named in a lawsuit filed by IMED Surgical, LLC, a New Jersey company (the “Plaintiff”), in Broward County, Florida Circuit Court. In the lawsuit, the Plaintiff claims, among other things, that it is the rightful owner of certain patented point-and-click planning software being used by the Company, Orthex and Squadron (specifically, U.S. Patent No. 10,258,377 (titled “Point and click alignment method for orthopedic surgeons, and surgical and clinical accessories and devices,” issued on April 16, 2019) (hereinafter, the “’377 Patent”).
In June 2019, the Company purchased all the issued and outstanding units of membership interests in Orthex, and all the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Vilex in Tennessee, Inc. for $60,000 in total consideration. Vilex and Orthex are primarily manufacturers of foot and ankle surgical implants, including cannulated screws, fusion devices, surgical staples and bone plates, as well as the Orthex Hexapod technology, a system of rings, struts, implants, hardware accessories, and the Point & Click Software used to treat congenital deformities and limb length discrepancies. On December 31, 2019, the Company divested substantially all of the assets relating to Vilex's adult product offerings to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Squadron, in exchange for a $25,000 reduction in a term note owed to Squadron in connection with the initial acquisition. As part of the sale, the Company also executed an exclusive license arrangement with Squadron providing for perpetual access to certain intellectual property, including the ‘377 Patent. According to the lawsuit, the other defendants, who are unrelated to the Company, assigned the ‘377 Patent to Orthex in violation of certain agreements with the Plaintiff.
The Plaintiff, among other things, requests that the defendants be ordered to convey and assign to Plaintiff all of their rights, title and interests in and to the ’377 Patent and seeks certain compensatory, consequential and unjust enrichment damages from Orthex and the unrelated defendants.
On May 13, 2021, the Court ordered the lawsuit stayed pending arbitration. To the extent the Plaintiff desires to further pursue the matter, it must first do so through a separate arbitration proceeding. In mid-November 2021, the Plaintiff initiated an arbitration proceeding; however, the Plaintiff failed to pay the fees it was required to pay for the arbitration to continue, resulting in the arbitration panel terminating the arbitration proceedings in mid-October 2022. In connection with the stay order, the Court also ordered the Company, Orthex and Squadron to give notice to the Plaintiff before any attempt to dispose, assign, sell or otherwise encumber the ‘377 Patent. The Company, Orthex and Squadron filed an appeal of this component of the order, but the appellate court affirmed the lower court’s decision. The Company, Orthex and Squadron have not sought to further pursue an appeal of the subject order.
Although we believe the IMED lawsuit is without merit and will vigorously defend the claims asserted against us, arbitration and litigation can involve complex factual and legal questions, and an adverse resolution of such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Wishbone Medical, Inc. – Patent Infringement Litigation
On October 30, 2020, OrthoPediatrics, along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Orthex, LLC, filed a lawsuit in federal district court (N.D. Indiana, South Bend Division, Case No. 3:20-cv-00929) against Wishbone Medical, Inc. and Nick A. Deeter (collectively “Wishbone”), claiming infringement of ’377 Patent, unfair competition, false advertising, breach of contract, defamation per se, tortious interference with contractual relationships, and tortious interference with prospective contractual relationships. In early January 2021, OrthoPediatrics amended its lawsuit by adding a declaratory judgment claim of infringement of the ‘377 Patent against Wishbone.
23
Thereafter, in January 2021, Wishbone filed a motion to dismiss all OrthoPediatrics’ causes of action. In late August 2021, the Court denied Wishbone's motion to dismiss with respect to OrthoPediatrics’ infringement and breach of contract claims and dismissed OrthoPediatrics' remaining causes of action. In late September 2021, Wishbone filed its answer and counterclaims, in part, seeking declaratory judgment of non-infringement and invalidity of the ‘377 Patent, and alleging OrthoPediatrics patent infringement claim(s) against Wishbone was made in bad faith. In mid-October 2021, OrthoPediatrics filed its answer to Wishbone’s counterclaims, denying all of them. In late January 2023, Wishbone amended its counterclaims to add a breach of contract claim against OrthoPediatrics. In early February 2023, OrthoPediatrics filed its answer to Wishbone's amended counterclaims, denying all of them. Additionally, in late March 2023, Wishbone filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings regarding the patent eligibility of the '377 patent. In mid-April 2023, OrthoPediatrics filed its response to Wishbone's late March 2023 motion. In mid-June 2023, the Court denied Wishbone's motion for judgment on the pleadings. Although we believe Wishbone’s counterclaims are without merit and will vigorously defend the claims asserted against us, litigation can involve complex factual and legal questions, and an adverse resolution of this proceeding could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We are not presently a party to any other legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate materially affect our financial position or results of operations or cash flows.
Purchase Obligations and Performance Requirements
As a result of entering into a license agreement for the exclusive distribution of the 7D Surgical FLASHTM Navigation platform during 2021, the Company agreed to a minimum purchase commitment for the first twelve months of that agreement. Additionally, the contract requires future purchase commitments based upon a percentage of historical purchases. As a result and as of June 30, 2023, the remaining purchase commitment under the agreement was $1,593 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $2,340 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
On July 20, 2021, we entered into an amended license agreement, resulting in a five-year extension of our exclusive distribution rights of the FIREFLY Technology. As a component of the agreement the Company is required to meet minimum performance metrics, measured by the number of spine procedures in the fiscal year which used the FIREFLY products against the annual requirement in the agreement. This includes any scheduled surgeries whereby the Company has committed to payment of the product. The number of required surgeries varies each year of the agreement. The Company analyzes its projected achievement of these performance metrics and accrues for any estimated shortfall. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded an expense of $576 based on current estimates. The Company recorded $341 of expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Royalties
As of June 30, 2023, we are contracted to pay royalties to individuals and entities that provide research and development services, which range from 0.5% to 20% of sales.
We have products in development that have royalty commitments. In any development project, there are significant variables that will affect the amount and timing of these payments and as of June 30, 2023, we have not been able to determine the amount and timing of payments. We do not anticipate these future payments will have a material impact on our financial results.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
24
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this quarterly report, as well as the information under "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."
The description of our business included in this quarterly report is summary in nature and only includes material developments that have occurred since the latest full description. The full description of the history and general development of our business is included in "Item 1. Description of Business" section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023, which section is incorporated herein by reference.
Overview
We are the only global medical device company focused exclusively on providing a comprehensive trauma and deformity correction, scoliosis and sports medicine product offering to the pediatric orthopedic market in order to improve the lives of children with orthopedic conditions. We design, develop and commercialize innovative orthopedic implants, instruments and specialized braces to meet the needs of pediatric surgeons or orthotists and their patients, who we believe have been largely neglected by the orthopedic industry. We currently serve three of the largest categories in this market. We estimate that the portion of this market that we currently serve represents a $3.9 billion opportunity globally, including over $1.7 billion in the United States.
We sell implants, instruments and specialized braces to our customers for use by pediatric orthopedic surgeons, orthotists or physical therapists to treat orthopedic conditions in children. We provide our implants in sets that consist of a range of implant sizes and include the instruments necessary to perform the surgical procedure. In the United States and a few selected international markets, our customers typically expect us to have full sets of implants and instruments on site at each hospital but do not purchase the implants until they are used in surgery. Accordingly, we must make an up-front investment in inventory of consigned implants and instruments before we can generate revenue from a particular hospital and we maintain substantial levels of inventory at any given time. In the international markets where we sell to stocking distributors or in the case of our braces, we transfer control of our products to the distributor or customer when title passes upon shipment.
We currently market 50 surgical systems that serve three of the largest categories within the pediatric orthopedic market: (i) trauma and deformity, (ii) scoliosis and (iii) sports medicine/other. We rely on a broad network of third parties to manufacture the components of our products, which we then inspect and package. We believe our innovative products promote improved surgical accuracy, increase consistency of outcomes and enhance surgeon confidence in achieving high standards of care. In the future, we expect to expand our product offering within these categories, as well as to address additional categories of the pediatric orthopedic market.
The majority of our revenue has been generated in the United States, where we sell our products through a network of 41 independent sales agencies employing more than 200 sales representatives specifically focused on pediatrics. These independent sales agents are trained by us, distribute our products and are compensated through sales-based commissions and performance bonuses. We do not sell our products through or participate in physician-owned distributorships, or PODs.
We market and sell our products internationally in over 70 countries, through independent stocking distributors and sales agencies. Our independent distributors manage the billing relationship with each hospital in their respective territories and are responsible for servicing the product needs of their surgeon customers. In 2017, we began to supplement our international stocking distributors with sales agencies using direct sales programs in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand where we sell directly to the hospitals. We began selling direct to Canada in September 2018, Belgium and the Netherlands in January 2019, Italy in March 2020 and Germany, Switzerland and Austria in January 2021.
25
In order to further enhance our operations in Europe, we established operating companies in the Netherlands and Germany in March 2019 and April 2022, respectively. In January 2023, we established a direct sales organization in Germany, the Company's first direct selling organization serving an international market. In our international markets, excluding Germany, we work through sales agencies that are paid a commission, similar to our U.S. sales model. These arrangements have generated an increase in revenue and gross margin.
We believe there are significant opportunities for us to strengthen our position in U.S. and international markets by increasing investments in consigned implant and instrument sets, strengthening our global sales and distribution infrastructure and expanding our product offering.
Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") Activities
OrthoPediatrics was founded on the cause of impacting the lives of children with orthopedic conditions. Since inception we have impacted the lives of over 670,000 children, when including those served by our acquired companies. We believe we should continue to expand our social efforts while minimizing our impact to the environment and ensuring corporate governance. In 2021, we created an internal ESG team, which reports directly to our Board’s Governance Committee, to identify ESG topics for disclosure by assessing both the impact on our business and the importance to our stakeholders.
We encourage you to review our ESG page and summary report which can be found under the "About" section of our corporate website for more detailed information regarding our ESG efforts and current initiatives. On our website, among other information, are the following highlights:
•OrthoPediatrics cares about our environmental impact while working in a highly regulated industry and we are certified according to ISO 13485.
•The Company and its associates regularly participate in philanthropic causes important to our local communities. We also partner with charitable organizations that provide pediatric orthopedic care around the world. In 2020 we were named as "Corporate Partner of the Year" by the World Pediatric Project - with whom we work to provide access to medical care for children in developing countries.
•We are committed to fostering an environment that is respectful, compassionate, and inclusive of everyone in our community.
•The Company and its Board of Directors understand the value of diversity. Since the conclusion of our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company has added two diverse Directors to our Board.
We believe effectively managing our priorities, as well as increasing our transparency related to ESG programs, will help create long-term value for our stakeholders. We expect to increase our disclosures and communicate our ESG efforts in future SEC filings.
Nothing on our website shall be deemed part of or incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Trends and Uncertainties
From time to time we acquire, make investments in or license other technologies, products and business that may enhance our capabilities, complement our current products or expand the breadth of our markets or customer base. As a result of these transactions, we may record certain intangible assets, including goodwill and trademarks, which are subject to annual impairment testing. Fair value is based on our current assessment of the expected future cash flows based on recent results and other specific
26
market factors. During 2022, we determined that a triggering event had occurred indicating it was more likely than not the fair value of the ApiFix trademark was less than the associated carrying value. Subsequently, the Company completed a quantitative analysis and concluded that the fair value was in fact less than the carrying value and a partial impairment loss of $3.6 million was recorded in the period. We believe that the expected future cash flows in the most recent calculations represent management’s best estimate; however, if actual results differ materially from these estimates, we could record an additional impairment charge which could be material to our consolidated financial statements and have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
In 2022, there was a significant and unprecedented increase in cases of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, and other respiratory illnesses. RSV is a common respiratory virus that follows a seasonal pattern. The typical season shows an increase in mid-September, peaks in late December and drops around mid-April. In 2022 the United States experienced a significant increase in RSV activity outside of the typical peak season as well as a heightened impact during the winter months. The volume of elective procedures utilizing our products were negatively impacted as a significant percent of hospital capacity was absorbed to cover the increase in RSV-related hospitalizations. This had a negative impact on our sales volume in 2022 and may continue to do so into the future. We are unable to accurately determine exactly how this will impact us in the future.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced significant business disruption throughout the last several years. Elective procedures were delayed in some cases as hospitals continue to struggle with adequate staffing levels. As a majority of our products are utilized in elective surgeries or procedures, the deferrals of such surgeries and procedures have had, and may continue to have, a significant negative impact on our business and results of operations. Throughout the pandemic, we took a variety of steps to address the impact. We continue to monitor the impact of the pandemic on our employees and customers and the markets in which we operate and will take further actions that are considered prudent to address the pandemic. We cannot accurately predict with certainty the full extent to which the pandemic will impact demand for our products in the future.
We encourage the readers of this document to read our risk factors in their entirety contained in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 1, 2023 and in other reports filed with the SEC that discuss the risks and factors that may affect our business.
Smaller Reporting Company Status
We qualify as a "smaller reporting company," as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a smaller reporting company, certain exemptions may be available to us.

Net revenue increased $6.6 million, or 20%, from $32.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $39.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Net revenue increased $14.8 million, or 26%, from $56.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $71.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were primarily driven by strong performance across trauma and deformity, partially due to acquisitions, and a 35% increase in international revenue.
Trauma and deformity sales increased $4.9 million, or 22%, from $22.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, to $27.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Sales increased $11.8 million, or 30%, from $39.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $50.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Increases for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 were primarily driven by strong growth across numerous product lines, specifically our Cannulated
28
Screws, PNP Femur, PediPlate and external fixation systems. Also, as previously mentioned, revenue from the prior year acquisitions is included in trauma and deformity. Scoliosis sales increased $1.5 million, or 16%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Sales increased $2.6 million, or 17%, from $15.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $18.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Increases for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 were primarily driven by increased sales of our RESPONSE 5.5/6.0 and ApiFix systems and revenue generated from 7D Technology. Sports medicine / other increased $0.2 million, or 23%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased $0.4 million, or 22%, during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Increases were primarily driven by sales from our Telos operations. Nearly all the change in each category was due to an increase or decrease in the unit volume sold and not a result of price changes.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin
Cost of revenue increased $1.6 million, or 20%, from $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Cost of revenue increased $4.8 million, or 37%, from $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increases are due primarily to sales volume, including the added cost of revenue associated with the revenue generated by acquisitions. Gross margin was 76% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022. The gross margin was 75% and 77% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.7 million, or 6%, to $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Sales and marketing expense increased $3.2 million, or 14%, to $25.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $22.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The changes in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 were due primarily to increased sales commission expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $5.1 million, or 35%, from $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $19.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased $9.6 million, or 35%, from $27.7 million for the six months June 30, 2022 to $37.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increases for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 were due primarily to the addition of personnel and resources to support the continued expansion of our business. Stock compensation increased in tandem with the increase in personnel, and also as a result of common stock issued to a former MedTech owner that is subject to service-based vesting conditions.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.8 million, or 24%, from $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $1.6 million, or 26%, from $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increases in depreciation for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 were primarily due to higher set deployments and increased amortization associated with acquisitions.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased $1.0 million, or 60%, from $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Research and development expenses increased $1.3 million, or 34%, from $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 were primarily due to incremental product development and the addition of personnel to support the future growth of the business.
29
Total Other (Income) Expenses
Other income was $2.3 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a change of $0.7 million or 23%. Other income was $3.5 million and other expense was $60 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, resulting in a change of $3.6 million. The change in other (income) expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the fair value adjustment of contingent consideration, which was driven by the valuation inputs that were lower in comparison to the same period last year as well as a decrease in net interest expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred operating losses since inception which resulted in negative cash flows used in operating activities of $10.8 million and $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $186.5 million. We anticipate that our losses will continue in the near term as we continue to expand our product portfolio and invest in additional consigned implant and instrument sets to support our expansion into existing and new markets. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the sales of our common and preferred stock, convertible securities and debt, as well as through sales of our products. At June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments of $94.8 million.

The primary use of this cash was to fund our operations related to the development and commercialization of our products in each of these periods.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted primarily of the sale of short-term marketable securities, when netted against the purchase of similar securities, offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment of $10.6 million, the majority of which is instrument sets.

30
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $2.1 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $27.7 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The use of cash in 2023 primarily related to the cash settlement of the current year ApiFix installment payment. The source of cash in 2022 was driven primarily by the proceeds of debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of Pega Medical Inc.
Indebtedness
The Company is party to a Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Squadron, which provides the Company with a $50.0 million revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2023, there was no outstanding indebtedness under the Loan Agreement.
In August 2013, pursuant to the purchase of our office and warehouse space, we entered into a mortgage note payable to Tawani Enterprises Inc., the owner of which is a member of Squadron’s management committee. Pursuant to the terms of the mortgage note, we pay Tawani Enterprises Inc. monthly principal and interest installments of $15,543, with interest compounded at 5% until maturity in August 2028, at which time a final payment of remaining principal and interest will become due.
See Note 6 - Debt and Credit Arrangements in Item 1 for further detail regarding our debt.
Pediatric Orthopedic Business Seasonality
Our revenue is typically higher in the summer months and holiday periods, driven by higher sales of our trauma and deformity and scoliosis products, which is influenced by the higher incidence of pediatric surgeries during these periods due to recovery time provided by breaks in the school year. Additionally, our scoliosis patients tend to have additional health challenges that make scheduling their procedures variable in nature.
