Outset Medical, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

1. Description of Business

Outset Medical, Inc. (the Company) is a medical technology company pioneering a first-of-its-kind technology to reduce the cost and complexity of dialysis. The Tablo® Hemodialysis System (Tablo), cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use from the hospital to the home, represents a significant technological advancement designed to transform the dialysis experience for patients and operationally simplify it for providers. Tablo serves as a single enterprise solution designed to be utilized across the continuum of care, allowing dialysis to be delivered anytime, anywhere, and by virtually anyone. The integration of water purification and on-demand dialysate production in a single 35-inch compact console enables Tablo to serve as a dialysis clinic on wheels. With a simple-to-use touchscreen interface, two-way wireless data transmission and a proprietary data analytics platform, Tablo is a new holistic approach to dialysis care. The Company’s headquarters are located in San Jose, CA.

Liquidity

Since inception, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $121.5 million and $90.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $747.5 million.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $227.5 million, which are available to fund future operations, and restricted cash of $33.3 million, for a total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments balance of $260.8 million. Management expects to continue to incur significant expenses for the foreseeable future and to incur operating losses in the near term while the Company makes investments to support its anticipated growth. Management believes that the Company’s existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash generated from sales, and proceeds received and currently available from the recent debt financing described in Note 11, will be sufficient to meet its anticipated needs for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the accompanying condensed financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The financial data and the other financial information disclosed in these notes to the condensed financial statements related to the three- and nine-month periods are also unaudited. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for any other future annual or interim period. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 23, 2022 (2021 Annual Report).

All share amounts disclosed in the notes to the condensed financial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand except for per share data.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in its 2021 Annual Report that have had a material impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements and related notes.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets and certain other instruments, including but not limited to available-for-sale debt securities. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct write-down to the security. ASU 2016-13 requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for all entities except SEC reporting companies that are not smaller reporting companies. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on its financial statements.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, $0.6 million and $1.9 million of consoles revenue were from console operating lease arrangements, compared to $1.3 million and $3.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Remaining Performance Obligations and Contract Liabilities

As of September 30, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations related to customer service contracts that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $7.9 million, which is recorded as deferred revenue on the Company’s condensed balance sheets. Of that amount, $7.8 million will be recognized as revenue during the next 12 months and $0.1 million thereafter.

The contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue which represents payments received in advance of revenue recognition. Revenue under these agreements is recognized over the related service period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $1.5 million and $5.8 million of previously deferred revenue.

As of September 30, 2022, the remaining contractual maturities for available-for-sale securities were one month to fourteen months.

Impairment assessments are made at the individual security level at each reporting period. When the fair value of an available-for-sale security is less than its cost at the balance sheet date, a determination is made as to whether the impairment is other-than-temporary and, if it is other-than-temporary, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment’s amortized cost and fair value at such date. As of September 30, 2022, there were three securities with a total fair value of $16.0 million in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized losses totaling $0.2 million as of September 30, 2022 were caused by changes in market interest rates or the widening of market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of these securities, and not related to the underlying credit of the issuers or the underlying collateral. These securities were issued by public reporting companies with an investment-grade rating by at least one bond credit rating agency. As a result, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not recognize other-than-temporary impairment losses related to its investment securities.

5. Balance Sheet Components


Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the restricted cash balance of $33.3 million primarily relates to contractual obligations under the SVB Loan and Security Agreement (see Note 7) and collateral for building leases in San Jose, CA and Tijuana Mexico.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

On July 8, 2022, a purported stockholder class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, naming the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and former Chief Financial Officer as defendants. The complaint alleged that between September 15, 2020 and June 13, 2022, the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), by making false or misleading statements regarding the Company’s regulatory studies of the Tablo Hemodialysis System for at home use and the Company’s prospects related to the sale of the system for at home use. The complaint sought relief including damages, attorney fees, and costs in unspecified amounts. On September 7, 2022, the plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of this action without prejudice. This action is now concluded.

In addition, from time to time, the Company may become involved in other legal proceedings or investigations, which could have an adverse impact on its reputation, business and financial condition and divert the attention of the Company’s management from the operation of the Company’s business.

Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, the Company often includes standard indemnification provisions in its arrangements with its partners, customers and suppliers. Pursuant to these provisions, the Company may be obligated to indemnify such parties for losses or claims suffered or incurred in connection with its service, breach of representations or covenants, intellectual property infringement or other claims made against such parties. These provisions may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification obligations due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnification obligations and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in these financial statements.

SVB Loan and Security Agreement

On July 2, 2020, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan facility with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) (the SVB Loan and Security Agreement), which provided for a $30.0 million term loan (the SVB Term Loan).

The SVB Term Loan was scheduled to mature on November 1, 2025. Payments under the SVB Term Loan were for interest only through May 2023, and then 30 monthly principal and interest payments from June 2023 until maturity. The SVB Term Loan bore interest at the greater of (A) 0.5% above the Prime Rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal and (B) 3.75% (6.75% as of September 30, 2022). The Company was obligated to maintain a restricted cash balance greater or equal to the outstanding principal balance of $30.0 million of the SVB Term Loan.

In November 2022, the Company entered into new senior secured credit facilities (the SLR Credit Facilities) and repaid in full all amounts due under the SVB Loan and Security Agreement, including the early repayment fee of $0.3 million and the final payment of $2.0 million, using a portion of the proceeds of the SLR Credit Facilities. See Note 11 to our unaudited condensed financial statements for additional details.

8. Equity Incentive Plan

Equity Incentive Plans

On January 1, 2022, the number of shares of common stock reserved for the issuance of awards under the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2020 Plan) was increased by 1,890,000 shares as a result of the automatic increase pursuant to the 2020 Plan. As of September 30, 2022, 5,032,000 shares were reserved for future issuance under the 2020 Plan.

Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP)

On January 1, 2022, the number of shares of common stock reserved for purchase under the Company’s ESPP was increased by 472,000 shares as a result of the automatic increase pursuant to the ESPP. As of September 30, 2022, 1,278,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance in connection with the current and future offering periods under the ESPP.

Restricted Stock

The Company issues restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance stock units (PSUs), both of which are considered restricted stock. The Company grants restricted stock pursuant to the 2020 Plan and satisfies such grants through the issuance of new shares. RSUs are share awards that, upon vesting, will deliver to the holder shares of our common stock.

RSUs with a service-based vesting condition granted to a grantee, beginning in February 2022, generally vest over a three-year period as follows either: (i) 25% on the first anniversary of the original vesting date, 25% quarterly over the course of the second year, and 50% quarterly over the course of the third year, or (ii) 33% on the first anniversary of the original vesting date, with the balance vesting quarterly over the remaining two years. Prior to February 2022, RSUs with a service-based vesting condition granted to a grantee generally vest at a rate of 25% on the first anniversary of the original vesting date, with the balance vesting quarterly over the remaining three years.

In 2022, the Company issued a mix of 50% PSUs and 50% RSUs to its CEO, and a mix of 20% PSUs and 80% RSUs to its other executive officers and certain other senior leaders. These PSUs are earned and vest over performance and vesting periods extending through 2024 based on achievement against two metrics: (1) an operational metric tied to the number of patients treating at home on Tablo as of the end of 2023, with 50% of earned units vesting after certification of the achievement level following the end of 2023 and the remaining 50% of earned units vesting at the end of 2024 (performance-based vesting conditions, referred to as the Home PSUs) and (2) the Company's relative total stockholder return (relative TSR) over a two-year performance period as compared to companies in a pre-determined index of medical device companies, with 100% of earned units vesting at the end of 2024 (market-based vesting conditions, referred to as the Relative TSR PSUs).

11


 

The 2023 target for the Home PSUs is expected to be determined and approved by the Compensation Committee in early 2023. Given such target has not yet been established, the grant date for these Home PSUs will only be established when the Compensation Committee approves and the Company communicates the target to the award recipients, which will then trigger the service inception date, the fair value of the awards, and the associated expense recognition period. Therefore, no expense is expected to be recognized for these Home PSUs until the grant date is established.

9. Income Taxes

For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred an income tax provision of an insignificant amount, which primarily related to foreign income taxes related to the Company’s Mexico operations. The U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance, as the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

On November 3, 2022 (the Closing Date), the Company entered into two senior secured credit facilities, which collectively provide for borrowings of up to $300.0 million: (i) a term loan facility pursuant to a loan and security agreement (the SLR Loan Agreement) among SLR Investment Corp., as collateral agent (Agent), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the Term Loan Lenders) and the Company (the SLR Term Loan Facility), and (ii) an asset-based revolving credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement (the SLR Revolving Credit Agreement, together with the SLR Loan Agreement, the SLR Credit Facility Agreements) among Gemino Healthcare Finance, LLC d/b/a SLR Healthcare ABL, as lender (ABL Lender), and the Company (the SLR Revolver, together with the SLR Term Loan Facility, the SLR Credit Facilities).

The maximum amount the Company is permitted to borrow under the SLR Credit Facilities is subject to certain overall borrowing limitations. The Company is permitted to borrow up to $200.0 million under the SLR Credit Facilities on the Closing Date. If the Company achieves a certain net revenue milestone, calculated on a trailing six month basis (First Revenue Milestone), on or before June 30, 2024 and the Additional Tranche (as defined below) under the SLR Revolver has been approved, the Company will be permitted to borrow up to $250.0 million under the SLR Credit Facilities. If the Company achieves a subsequent additional net revenue milestone, calculated on a trailing six month basis (Second Revenue Milestone), on or before June 30, 2025 and obtains lenders' credit approval, the Company will be permitted to borrow up to $300.0 million under the SLR Credit Facilities.

The Company repaid in full all amounts due under the SVB Loan and Security Agreement, including the early repayment fee of $0.3 million and the final payment of $2.0 million, using a portion of the proceeds of the SLR Credit Facilities.

SLR Term Loan Facility

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SLR Loan Agreement, the Term Loan Lenders agreed to extend term loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $250.0 million, comprised of (i) a term loan of $100.0 million (the Term A Loan), (ii) one or more term loans (in minimum increments of $20.0 million each) in the aggregate of up to $100.0 million (each, a Term B Loan) and (iii) one or more term loans in the aggregate of up to $50.0 million (each, a Term C Loan). Each Term A Loan, Term B Loan and Term C Loan is referred to single as a Term Loan and are referred to collectively as the Term Loans. The Term A Loan was funded on the Closing Date. The Term B Loan(s) are available for funding until August 22, 2024. The Term C Loan(s) are available subject to the lenders’ credit approval and the achievement of the Second Revenue Milestone on or before June 30, 2025. The Term C Loan will remain available for funding until one business day prior to November 1, 2027.

Any principal amount outstanding under the Term Loans will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to one-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (term SOFR) (subject to a 2.75% floor), plus 5.15%, payable monthly in arrears. The Company is permitted to make interest-only payments on the Term Loans through November 30, 2026, which may be extended at the Company's option to May 31, 2027; provided that the Company meets the First Revenue Milestone. Any principal amounts outstanding under the Term Loans, if not repaid sooner, are due and payable on November 1, 2027 (the Maturity Date). The Company is obligated to pay Agent (i) a non-refundable facility fee in the amount of $750,000 in respect of the Term A Loan, (ii) a non-refundable facility fee in the amount of $750,000 in respect of the Term B Loan(s), to be due and payable upon the earliest to occur of (a) the funding of the first Term B Loan, (b) December 20, 2023 and (c) the prepayment of the Term Loans and (iii) a non-refundable facility fee in the amount of $375,000 in respect of the Term C Loan, to be due and payable upon the earliest to occur of (a) the funding of the first Term C Loan, (b) one day prior to the Maturity Date and (c) the prepayment of the Term Loans. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a final fee equal to 4.75% of the aggregate amount of the Term Loans funded, such final fee to be due and payable upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the acceleration of the Term Loans and (iii) the prepayment of the Term Loans. The Company may voluntarily prepay the outstanding Term Loans, subject to a prepayment premium of (i) 3.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loan, if prepaid prior to or on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) 2.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loan, if prepaid after the first anniversary of the Closing Date through and including the second anniversary of the Closing Date, or (iii) 1.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loan if prepaid after the second anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the Maturity Date.


SLR Revolver
 

The SLR Revolving Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based revolving credit facility with aggregate revolving commitments of $25.0 million (the Initial Revolver Commitment). The Company may request to increase the aggregate revolving commitments by $25.0 million (the Additional Tranche) to an aggregate amount of $50.0 million, subject to ABL Lender’s approval. Amounts available to be drawn under the SLR Revolver are equal to the lesser of (i) outstanding revolving commitments under the SLR Revolving Credit Agreement and (ii) a borrowing base (the Borrowing Base) equal to the sum of (a) 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus (b) 25% of eligible inventory (not to exceed the lesser of 50% of the Borrowing Base and $5.0 million), minus (c) customary reserves, minus (d) unposted cash.

Any principal amount outstanding under the SLR Revolver will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to one-month term SOFR (subject to a 2.75% floor), plus 3.20%, payable monthly in arrears. Interest on any borrowing is payable monthly. The Company is obligated to pay Lender (i) a non-refundable facility fee in the amount of $187,500 in respect of the Initial Revolver Commitment, (ii) a non-refundable facility fee in the amount of $187,500 in respect of the Additional Tranche, to be due and payable upon activation of the Additional Tranche, (iii) a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the then commitment amount, payable monthly and (iv) a collateral monitoring fee of 0.10% per month of the average daily Borrowing Base during the prior month, payable monthly. The Company may terminate the SLR Revolver at any time, subject to a termination fee of (i) 2.0% of the aggregate revolving commitments then in effect, if terminated prior to or on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) 1.0% of the aggregate revolving commitments then in effect, if terminated after the first anniversary of the Closing Date through and including the second anniversary of the Closing Date, or (iii) 0.5% of the aggregate revolving commitments then in effect, if terminated after the second anniversary of the Closing Date through and including the third anniversary of the Closing Date. Such termination fee is waived if the SLR Revolver is terminated after the third anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the Maturity Date.

Subject to customary exceptions and restrictions, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow varying amounts under the SLR Revolver at any time. If at any time the outstanding amount under the SLR Revolver exceeds the lesser of (i) the aggregate revolving commitments then in effect and (ii) the Borrowing Base then in effect, the Company will be required to prepay outstanding amounts under the SLR Revolver.

The SLR Revolver shall expire on November 1, 2027.

Other Terms of the SLR Credit Facilities

As security for its obligations under the SLR Credit Facilities, the Company granted Agent, for the benefit of the Term Loan Lenders, and ABL Lender a continuing security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company, including the Company’s intellectual property, subject to certain exceptions.

The SLR Credit Facility Agreements contain customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, requirements as to financial reporting and insurance and restrictions on the Company’s ability to dispose of its business or property, to change its line of business, to liquidate or dissolve, to enter into any change in control transaction, to merge or consolidate with any other entity or to acquire all or substantially all the capital stock or property of another entity, to incur additional indebtedness, to incur liens on its property or to pay any dividends or other distributions on capital stock, in each case with certain exceptions. The Company has also agreed to a financial covenant whereby, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023, the Company must either (i) maintain certain levels of cash and cash equivalents in accounts subject to control agreements in favor of Agent and ABL Lender of at least 50% of the sum of (a) the outstanding obligations under the Term Loans (as defined below) and (b) the amount of the Company’s accounts payable that have not been paid within 120 days from the invoice date thereof or (ii) generate net product and product related revenue (or maintain gross profit margins) in excess of specified amounts (or percentages) for applicable measuring periods.

In addition, the SLR Credit Facility Agreements contain customary events of default that entitle Agent, under the SLR Loan Agreement, and ABL Lender, under the SLR Revolving Credit Agreement, to cause the Company’s indebtedness under the SLR Loan Agreement or SLR Revolving Credit Agreement, as applicable, to become immediately due and payable, and to exercise remedies against the Company and the collateral securing the obligations owed under the applicable SLR Credit Facility Agreement. Under the SLR Credit Facility Agreements, an event of default will occur if, among other things, the Company fails to make payments under either SLR Credit Facility Agreement, the Company breaches certain covenants under either SLR Credit Facility Agreement, subject to specified cure periods with respect to certain breaches, the Agent or ABL Lender, as applicable, determine that a material adverse change has occurred under the SLR Loan Agreement or SLR Revolving Credit Agreement, as applicable, or the Company or its assets become subject to certain legal proceedings, such as bankruptcy proceedings. Upon the occurrence and for the duration of an event of default, an additional default interest rate equal to 4.0% per annum will apply to all obligations owed under the SLR Credit Facility Agreements.

Overview

Our technology is designed to elevate the dialysis experience for patients and help providers overcome traditional care delivery challenges. Requiring only an electrical outlet and tap water to operate, the Tablo® Hemodialysis System frees patients and providers from the burdensome infrastructure required to operate traditional dialysis machines. The integration of water purification and on-demand dialysate production in a single 35-inch compact console enables Tablo to serve as a dialysis clinic on wheels. With a simple-to-use touchscreen interface, two-way wireless data transmission and a proprietary data analytics platform, Tablo is a new holistic approach to dialysis care. Unlike existing hemodialysis machines, which have limited clinical versatility across care settings, Tablo can be used seamlessly across multiple care settings and a wide range of clinical applications.

Tablo leverages cloud technology, making it possible for providers to monitor devices and treatments remotely, perform patient and population analytics, and automate clinical recordkeeping, while also enabling us to release features and enhancements through over-the-air updates. Tablo’s connectedness also allows it to continually stream more than 500,000 device performance data points after every treatment. We use this data, in conjunction with our diagnostic and predictive algorithms, to determine failure types and, in some instances, predict failures before they occur. In effect, this contributes to a reduction in service hours and an increase in device uptime.

We have generated meaningful evidence to demonstrate that providers can realize significant operational efficiencies, including reducing the cost of their dialysis programs by up to 80% in the intensive care unit. In addition, Tablo has been shown to deliver robust clinical care. In studies we have conducted, patients have reported experiencing fewer symptoms and better quality sleep while on Tablo. We believe Tablo empowers patients, who have traditionally been passive recipients of care, to regain agency and ownership of their treatment.

Tablo is cleared by the FDA for use in the hospital, clinic, or home setting. In May 2022, we implemented a shipment hold on the distribution and marketing of Tablo for use in the home environment pending the FDA’s review and clearance of a 510(k) application we submitted for changes made since the device’s original March 2020 clearance. During the hold, we continued to market and ship Tablo for use by healthcare professionals in chronic and acute care settings. In addition, devices that were already distributed to home users at the time the hold was implemented were not removed and current users were able to continue working with their

15


 

healthcare providers on appropriate treatment. In late July 2022, the FDA cleared our 510(k) application of Tablo for patient use in the home and we resumed marketing and shipping Tablo for home use.

Driving adoption of Tablo in the acute care setting has been our primary focus to date. We have invested in growing our economic and clinical evidence, built a veteran sales and clinical support team with significant expertise, and implemented a comprehensive training and customer experience program. Our experience in the acute care market has demonstrated Tablo’s clinical flexibility and operational versatility, while also delivering meaningful cost savings to the providers. We plan to continue leveraging our commercial infrastructure to broaden our installed base in the acute care market as well as driving utilization and fleet expansion with our existing customers.

Tablo is also well suited for home-based dialysis. Our ability to reduce training time, patient dropout, and the supplies and infrastructure required to deliver dialysis in the home can drive efficiency and economic improvements to the home care model. In our home investigational device exemption (IDE) trial, patients reported specific quality of life improvements compared to their experience on the incumbent home dialysis machine. To penetrate this market successfully, we continue to focus on refining our home distribution, logistics and support systems to help ensure they are ready for rapid scale. We are also working with providers, patients, and payors to increase awareness and adoption of transitional care units (TCUs) as a bridge to home-based therapy. To demonstrate the cost advantages of Tablo in the home setting, we are continuing to collect additional patient clinical experience and outcomes data.

We sell our solutions through our direct sales organization, which covers most major metropolitan markets in the United States. As of September 30, 2022, our sales organization was comprised of 37 capital sales team members, responsible for generating new customer demand for Tablo, and 93 clinical sales team members, responsible for driving utilization and fleet expansion of Tablo consoles at existing customer sites. In addition, our field service team, comprised of 117 members, provides maintenance services and product support to Tablo customers. The same sales organization and field service team have driven Tablo penetration in both the acute and home care markets. We believe the ability to leverage one team to serve both markets will result in significant productivity and cost optimization as we continue to scale our business.

We generate revenue primarily from the initial sale of Tablo consoles, and recurring sales of per-treatment consumables, including the Tablo cartridge, which generates significant total revenue over the life of the console. We generate additional recurring revenue via annual service contracts and revenue from shipping and handling charged to customers. Our total revenue was $27.8 million and $26.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $83.4 million and $74.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Historically, we have financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily through sales of redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock, revenue from sales, and debt financing. Since our inception, we have incurred net losses in each year. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred net losses of $40.8 million and $30.5 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred net losses of $121.5 million and $90.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $747.5 million. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses for the foreseeable future and to incur operating losses in the near term.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our financial performance has been and in the foreseeable future will continue to be primarily driven by the following factors. While we believe each of these factors presents significant opportunities for our business, they also pose important challenges that we must successfully address in order to sustain our growth and improve our results of operations. Our ability to successfully address the factors below is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors.”

Market Acceptance of Tablo in Acute Setting

We plan to further broaden our installed base by continuing to target national and regional Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) and health systems, sub-acute long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs) and skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). In addition, we focus on driving utilization and fleet expansion with existing customers by providing an exceptional user experience delivered through our commercial team and a steady release of software enhancements that amplify Tablo’s operational reliability and clinical versatility. Our ability to successfully execute on this strategy, and thereby increase our revenue in the acute market, will depend in part on the success of our efforts to further evolve our commercial infrastructure and sales processes to support the growth of our business in the acute care market.

Expansion of Tablo within the Home Setting

We believe that a significant growth opportunity exists within the home hemodialysis market. We are partnering with innovative dialysis clinic providers and health systems who are motivated to grow their home hemodialysis population, and who share our vision of creating a seamless and supported transition to the home. We are also investing in market development over the longer term to expand the home hemodialysis market itself. The expansion of the home hemodialysis market and our ability to penetrate this market will be an important factor in driving the future growth of our business. In addition, the success of our efforts to expand within

16


 

the home market, help grow new home programs and increase our revenue generated from home-based dialysis on the timeline that we anticipate will depend on several factors. These factors include our ability to continue regaining momentum in our home commercialization and marketing and rebuilding our home patient pipeline following the release of our prior home shipment hold, as well as our ability to further evolve our commercial infrastructure and sales processes as we scale our business in the home market.

Gross Margin

We are continuing to execute a well-defined strategy designed to expand gross margins. First, in the first quarter of 2021, we successfully began production at our own console manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico which we operate in collaboration with our outsourced business administration service provider, TACNA. Second, following our receipt of 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the new cartridge sterilization method in the fourth quarter of 2021, we have qualified a second source to increase Tablo cartridge production through a new manufacturing partner in Mexico, which we anticipate will result in cost reductions from lower freight costs. Third, we will continue to drive scale across our console platform to leverage our supply base and help improve our manufacturing efficiency. Fourth, we will continue to utilize our cloud-based data system, as well as enhanced product performance, to help drive down the cost of service. Our ability to grow our business will depend in part on these and other measures to control the costs of our products being successful. Likewise, it will be important that we effectively manage the costs of generating our service revenue.

Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Macroeconomic Factors

Our business may be impacted by an escalation or a continuation of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While the operations at our contract manufacturing partners’ facilities and our outsourced business administration service provider, TACNA, for our facility in Tijuana, Mexico, have not yet experienced significant disruption as a result of the pandemic, the possibility that such disruption may occur remains. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has at various times since its onset disrupted the operations of certain of our third-party suppliers, resulting in increased lead-times, higher component costs, and lower allocations for our purchase of some components (including certain critical components) and, in certain cases, requiring us to procure materials from alternative sources, procure higher quantities of materials when they become available, or incur higher logistical expenses. We have worked closely with our manufacturing partners and suppliers to enable us to source key components and maintain appropriate inventory levels to meet customer demand, and have not experienced material disruptions in our supply chain to date.

Additionally, surges and shifts in consumer demand as the economy reopens, further exacerbated by COVID-19 outbreaks and protocols, have strained the global freight network and placed significant stress on air, ocean, and ground freight carriers. This has resulted in labor shortages, container and chassis shortages, reduced carrier capacity, carrier delays and longer lead times, shipment receiving and unloading backlogs at many U.S. ports, and escalating freight costs. During the fourth quarter of 2021, these supply chain disruptions escalated, and we are facing increased supply chain constraints, notably with the transportation of Tablo cartridges from our contract manufacturing partner in Southeast Asia. As a result, we have faced, and may continue to face, increased transportation and related costs associated with delivering adequate supply of Tablo treatments to our customers. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we qualified a second source to increase Tablo cartridge production through a new manufacturing partner in Mexico. While we anticipate that this second source will help mitigate supply chain challenges and reduce the need for costly and capacity-constrained air freight delivery of the cartridges, there is no assurance that we will not continue to face supply chain constraints. Continued escalation of these supply chain disruptions could negatively impact our ability to meet customer demand on a timely basis, result in customer dissatisfaction and adversely impact our operating margins and results of operations. Further, a sustained rise in material and freight costs could also unfavorably impact our operating margins and results of operations.

The extent, duration and full impacts of the pandemic remain uncertain and depend on ongoing developments, including but not limited to any resurgences of the virus including emerging variant strains, actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, as well as the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and related containment measures. Additionally, the duration and severity of disruptions in the global supply chain also remains uncertain, and depend on various factors, including the effectiveness of government actions intended to mitigate these disruptions. As a result, we cannot predict what effect the pandemic, the associated containment measures, and the current supply chain disruptions will ultimately have on our business and results of operations, on our customers, or on our suppliers and vendors. There is no assurance that we will not experience more significant disruptions in our supply chain in the future, particularly if the operations of our contract manufacturing partners, our critical single-source component providers, or the facility we operate in Tijuana, Mexico in collaboration with TACNA, are more severely impacted by the pandemic and associated containment measures.

Moreover, healthcare providers (including our existing and prospective customers) are facing a nationwide shortage of qualified nurses and other clinical personnel due to long-term trends that were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. As competition for these healthcare professionals has intensified, providers are facing increased difficulties attracting and retaining skilled clinical personnel, resulting in increased costs, staffing shortages and other disruptions. These challenging labor market conditions in the healthcare industry have been heightened by the increased demand for, and demand upon, nurses and other staff. We believe Tablo offers automation and ease-of-use benefits over traditional machines that can enhance our existing and potential customers’ ability to support their patient populations despite staffing shortages. However, there is a risk that the increased costs and other disruptions

17


 

caused by the shortage of dialysis nurses, technicians, other staff, and implementation resources could cause existing or prospective customers to delay continued investment in or adoption of new technologies and postpone purchasing decisions. For example, during the second and third quarters of 2022, our existing and potential customers faced increasing staffing shortages and increased labor costs, combined with economic pressures resulting from general economic and financial market conditions, primarily escalating inflation, tightening hospital operating budgets and increased scrutiny of capital purchase decisions, all of which generally have the effect of lengthening the average sales cycle and elongating the timing of installations. These factors have negatively impacted our customer base on pipeline development and installation schedules, which, in turn, have negatively impacted our bookings, delayed our shipments and adversely impacted our revenues for the second and third quarters of 2022. If our customers continue to face prolonged staffing shortages, volatility, uncertainty, rising costs and financial pressures, whether due to the pandemic, general macroeconomic conditions or otherwise, it could ultimately adversely impact our ability to expand existing customer relationships or attract new customers of Tablo, and have a material adverse effect on our bookings, revenues, results of operations, and, ultimately, our future growth and profitability.

Product revenue decreased by $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. This decrease was driven by a $0.5 million decrease in consoles revenue, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in consumables revenue driven by the growth in our console installed base.

Product revenue increased by $6.4 million, or 10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by a $7.2 million increase in consumables revenue attributable to the growth in our console installed base. This increase was partially offset by a net $0.8 million decrease in consoles revenue which, in turn, was primarily comprised of a $2.0 million decrease in console leasing revenue, partially offset by a higher average selling price for consoles.

Service and other revenue increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to services associated with the growth in our console installed base, which was offset by a decrease in service revenue from leased consoles due to the expiration of certain lease agreements.

In May 2022, we implemented a shipment hold on the distribution and marketing of Tablo for use in the home environment pending the FDA’s review and clearance of a 510(k) application we submitted for changes made since the device’s original March 2020 clearance. In late July 2022, the FDA cleared this 510(k) application of Tablo for patient use in the home and we resumed marketing and shipping Tablo for home use. The shipment hold on Tablo for home use had a significant negative impact on our bookings and revenue for the second and third quarters of 2022, as well as on our pipeline of potential new deals. While we continue to regain momentum in our home commercialization and rebuild our home patient pipeline following our release of the shipment hold, we may continue to experience related disruptions to our home and acute business and operations that could materially and adversely impact our revenue. In addition, we anticipate that our revenues may continue to be negatively impacted by the customer staffing

challenges and, potentially, other macroeconomic factors highlighted above, affecting our customers. While we are taking steps to further evolve our commercial infrastructure and sales processes to support our future growth in both the home and acute markets, we expect these factors may continue to moderate our revenue growth over the next several quarters.

Gross profit increased by $1.4 million, or 47% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The gross margin percentage improved by 4.4 percentage points for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. This improvement in gross profit and gross margin was primarily driven by the impact of our cost reduction activities and higher average selling price for consoles. Such improvement was partially offset by the lower gross margin of consumables revenue due to an increase in freight costs and materials costs.

Gross profit increased by $8.3 million, or 193% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The gross margin percentage improved by 9.3 percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This improvement in gross profit and gross margin was primarily driven by the impact of our cost reduction activities and the product revenue mix. Such improvement was partially offset by the lower gross margin of consumables revenue due to an increase in freight and materials costs and the lower gross margin of service and other revenue due to the expiration of certain lease agreements.

Research and development expenses increased by $3.3 million, or 34% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher headcount, resulting in increased fixed and share-based compensation expense, increased infrastructure costs, and increased supplies and materials costs to support our product development activities. This increase was slightly offset by lower consulting expenses.

Research and development expenses increased by $12.1 million or 48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

The increase in interest income and other income, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in the prior year was driven by higher interest rates and higher average short-term investments balance in 2022.

The increase in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were due to higher Prime Rate in 2022, which was the base interest rate used for the SVB Term Loan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $227.5 million, which are available to fund future operations, and restricted cash of $33.3 million, for a total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments balance of $260.8 million.

Since our inception, we have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. To date, we have financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily through sales of redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock, revenue from sales, debt financings, and proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock purchases.

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses for the foreseeable future and to incur operating losses in the near term while we make investments to support our anticipated growth. We may raise additional capital through the issuance of additional equity financing, debt financings, including through refinancing our existing debt, or other sources. If this financing is not available to us at adequate levels or on acceptable terms, we may need to reevaluate our operating plans. If we do raise additional capital through public or private equity offerings, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our existing stockholders’ rights. We are subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, cash generated from sales, and proceeds received and currently available from the recent debt financing described below under “Debt Obligations ‒ SLR Debt Financing”, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of this Quarterly Report.

Operating Activities

The net cash used in operating activities of $111.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to a net loss of $121.5 million and a net cash outflow from the change in our operating assets and liabilities of $17.4 million, which were partially offset by adjustments for stock-based compensation expense of $19.9 million, depreciation and amortization of $3.9 million, provision for inventories of $1.6 million, accretion of discount on investments of $1.1 million, non-cash lease expense of $0.8 million, and non-cash interest expense of $0.4 million. The net cash outflow from operating assets and liabilities was primarily driven by an increase in inventories as a result of the timing of inventory purchases, a decrease in accrued payroll and related benefits, operating lease liabilities, accounts payable, and accrued warranty liability. The net cash outflow from operating assets and liabilities was partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable resulting from the timing of collections, an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities due to timing of vendor payments, an increase in deferred revenue as a result of the growth of our business, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets.

21


 

Investing Activities

The net cash used in investing activities of $14.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to the purchases of short-term investment securities of $168.6 million and the purchases of property and equipment of $6.2 million, partially offset by the sales and maturities of short-term investment securities of $160.3 million.

Financing Activities

The net cash provided by financing activities of $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to proceeds of $7.4 million from employee exercises of stock options and ESPP purchases.

Debt Obligations

SLR Debt Financing
 

On November 3, 2022 (the Closing Date), we entered into two senior secured credit facilities, which collectively provide for borrowings of up to $300.0 million: (i) a term loan facility pursuant to a loan and security agreement (the SLR Loan Agreement) among SLR Investment Corp., as collateral agent (Agent), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the Term Loan Lenders) and us (the SLR Term Loan Facility), and (ii) an asset-based revolving credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement (the SLR Revolving Credit Agreement, together with the SLR Loan Agreement, the SLR Credit Facility Agreements) among Gemino Healthcare Finance, LLC d/b/a SLR Healthcare ABL, as lender (ABL Lender), and us (the SLR Revolver, together with the SLR Term Loan Facility, the SLR Credit Facilities).

The maximum amount we are permitted to borrow under the SLR Credit Facilities is subject to certain overall borrowing limitations. We are permitted to borrow up to $200.0 million under the SLR Credit Facilities on the Closing Date. If we achieve a certain net revenue milestone, calculated on a trailing six month basis (First Revenue Milestone), on or before June 30, 2024 and the Additional Tranche (as defined below) under the SLR Revolver has been approved, we will be permitted to borrow up to $250.0 million under the SLR Credit Facilities. If we achieve a subsequent additional net revenue milestone, calculated on a trailing six month basis (Second Revenue Milestone), on or before June 30, 2025 and obtain lenders' credit approval, we will be permitted to borrow up to $300.0 million under the SLR Credit Facilities.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SLR Loan Agreement, the Term Loan Lenders agreed to extend term loans to us in an aggregate principal amount of up to $250.0 million, comprised of (i) a term loan of $100.0 million (the Term A Loan), (ii) one or more term loans (in minimum increments of $20.0 million each) in the aggregate of up to $100.0 million (each, a Term B Loan) and (iii) one or more term loans in the aggregate of up to $50.0 million (each, a Term C Loan). Each Term A Loan, Term B Loan and Term C Loan is referred to single as a Term Loan and are referred to collectively as the Term Loans. The Term A Loan was funded on the Closing Date. The Term B Loan(s) are available for funding until August 22, 2024. The Term C Loan(s) are available subject to the lenders’ credit approval and the achievement of the Second Revenue Milestone on or before June 30, 2025. The Term C Loan will remain available for funding until one business day prior to November 1, 2027.

The SLR Revolving Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based revolving credit facility with aggregate revolving commitments of $25.0 million (the Initial Revolver Commitment). We may request to increase the aggregate revolving commitments by $25.0 million (the Additional Tranche) to an aggregate amount of $50.0 million, subject to ABL Lender’s approval. Amounts available to be drawn under the SLR Revolver are equal to the lesser of (i) outstanding revolving commitments under the SLR Revolving Credit Agreement and (ii) a borrowing base (the Borrowing Base) equal to the sum of (a) 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus (b) 25% of eligible inventory (not to exceed the lesser of 50% of the Borrowing Base and $5.0 million), minus (c) customary reserves, minus (d) unposted cash.

For additional information regarding the SLR Credit Facilities, see Note 11, Subsequent Events, to our unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Copies of the SLR Credit Facility Agreements are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2. The summary of the SLR Credit Facilities is qualified entirely by reference to the SLR Credit Facility Agreements filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.

SVB Term Loan

We repaid in full all amounts due under the SVB Loan and Security Agreement, including the early repayment fee of $0.3 million and the final payment of $2.0 million, using a portion of the proceeds of the SLR Credit Facilities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based on the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the

22


 

date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2021 Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no material change in the nature of the Company’s foreign currency exchange risks from those described in Part II Item 7A of our 2021 Annual Report.

We are exposed to interest rate risk through our borrowing activities. As of September 30, 2022, we had total debt under the SVB Loan and Security Agreement of $29.8 million, which was subsequently repaid in November 2022.

Upon the closing of the SLR Credit Facilities in November 2022, we have $100.0 million in variable rate debt outstanding under the SLR Term Loan Facility. The SLR Term Loan Facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to one-month term SOFR (subject to a 2.75% floor), plus 5.15%. For additional information regarding the SLR Credit Facilities, see Note 11, Subsequent Events, to our unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

The information set forth under “Litigation” in Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies, of the notes accompanying our unaudited condensed financial statements in this Quarterly Report is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report, as updated by the risk factors discussed in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended Mach 31, 2022 (Q1 2022 Quarterly Report) and June 30, 2022 (Q2 2022 Quarterly Report), which could materially affect our business, financial position, or future results of operations. There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our 2021 Annual Report, as updated by our Q1 2022 Quarterly Report and Q2 2022 Quarterly Report, except as set forth below. The risks described in our 2021 Annual Report, Q1 2022 Quarterly Report and Q2 2022 Quarterly Report as updated below are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not precisely known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also arise and materially impact our business. If any of these risks occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected and the trading price of our common stock could decline.

The terms of our credit agreement require us to meet certain operating and financial covenants, place restrictions on our operating and financial flexibility and subject us to interest rate risk.

We entered into two senior secured credit facilities (the SLR Credit Facilities) on November 3, 2022 (the Closing Date) which provide for up to a $250.0 million term loan (the SLR Term Loan Facility) pursuant to a loan and security agreement with certain lenders and SLR Investment Corp., as agent (the SLR Loan Agreement) and up to a $50.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the SLR Revolver, together with the SLR Term Loan Facility, the SLR Credit Facilities) pursuant to a credit agreement with Gemino Healthcare Finance, LLC d/b/a SLR Healthcare ABL, as lender (the SLR Revolving Credit Agreement, together with the SLR Loan Agreement, the SLR Credit Facility Agreements). While the SLR Credit Facilities provide for borrowings of up to $300.0 million, we only have access to $200.0 million of such borrowings as of the Closing Date and the additional $100.0 million of such borrowings is subject to us achieving certain net revenue milestones and obtaining lenders’ credit approval. If we achieve a certain net revenue milestone, calculated on a trailing six month basis (First Revenue Milestone), on or before June 30, 2024 and the additional tranche under the SLR Revolver has been approved, we will be permitted to borrow up to $250.0 million under the SLR Credit Facilities. If we achieve a subsequent additional net revenue milestone, calculated on a trailing six month basis (Second Revenue Milestone, and together with First Revenue Milestone, the Revenue Milestones), on or before June 30, 2025 and obtain lenders’ credit approval, we will be permitted to borrow up to $300.0 million under the SLR Credit Facilities. If we fail to achieve either or both of these Revenue Milestones or obtain lenders’ credit approval, we will not be able to access the full $300.0 million borrowing amounts under the SLR Credit Facilities. The SLR Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of our assets, including all of the capital stock held by us, if any, (subject to a 65% limitation on pledges of voting capital stock of foreign subsidiaries), and all of our intellectual property, subject to certain exceptions. The SLR Credit Facility Agreements contain a number of restrictive covenants, and the terms may restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to certain changes in our business or industry or take future actions. In addition, as principal amounts outstanding under each of the SLR Term Loan Facility and the SLR Revolver accrue interest at variable interest rates tied to SOFR, any borrowings under the facilities will be subject to interest rate risk. An adverse change in interest rates for our borrowings could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. See the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ‒ Liquidity and Capital Resources ‒ Debt Obligations ‒ SLR Debt Financing.”

The SLR Credit Facility Agreements contain customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants and also contain certain restrictive covenants, including, among others, limitations on: the incurrence of additional debt, liens on property, acquisitions and investments, loans and guarantees, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, asset sales, dividends and other payments in respect of our capital stock, prepayments of certain debt, transactions with affiliates and changes to our type of business, management of the business, control of the business or business locations. The SLR Credit Facility Agreements also include a financial covenant that, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023, requires us to either (i) maintain certain levels of cash and cash equivalents in accounts subject to control agreements in favor of Agent and ABL Lender of at least 50% of the sum of (a) the outstanding obligations under the SLR Term Loan Facility and (b) the amount of the Company’s accounts payable that have not been paid within 120 days from the invoice date thereof or (ii) generate net product and product related revenue (or maintain gross profit margins) in excess of specified amounts (or percentages) for applicable measuring periods. The SLR Credit Facility Agreements also contain customary events of default. If we fail to comply with such covenants, payments or other terms of either SLR Credit Facility Agreement, our agent or lender, as applicable, could declare an event of default, which would give it the right to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, our agent or lender, as applicable, would have the right to proceed against the assets we provided as collateral pursuant to the SLR Loan Agreement or SLR Revolving Credit Agreement, as applicable. If the debt under either SLR Credit Facility Agreement was

25


 

accelerated, we may not have sufficient cash or be able to sell sufficient assets to repay this debt, which would harm our business and financial condition.

Our customers are facing staffing shortages, increased costs and other financial pressures that have had, and may continue to have, a negative impact on our revenue.

Healthcare providers (including our existing and prospective customers) are facing a nationwide shortage of qualified nurses and other clinical personnel due to long-term trends that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. As competition for these healthcare professionals has intensified, providers are facing increased difficulties attracting and retaining skilled clinical personnel, resulting in increased costs, staffing shortages, and other disruptions. These challenging labor market conditions in the healthcare industry have been heightened by the increased demand for, and demand upon, nurses and other staff resulting from the pandemic. There is a risk that the increased costs and other disruptions caused by the shortage of dialysis nurses, technicians and other staff could cause existing or prospective customers to delay continued investment in or adoption of new technologies and postpone purchasing decisions. For example, during the second quarter of 2022, our existing and potential customers began to face increasing staffing shortages and increased labor costs, combined with economic pressures resulting from general economic and financial market conditions, primarily escalating inflation, tightening hospital operating budgets and increased scrutiny of capital purchase decisions, all of which generally have the effect of lengthening the average sales cycle and elongating the timing of installations. Toward the end of the quarter, we began to see early indications of the impact these factors had across our customer base on pipeline development and installation schedules, which, in turn, negatively impacted our bookings, delayed our shipments and adversely impacted our revenues for the second quarter of 2022. If our customers continue to face prolonged volatility, uncertainty, staffing shortages, rising costs and financial pressures, whether due to the pandemic, general macroeconomic conditions or otherwise, it could ultimately adversely impact our ability to expand existing customer relationships or attract new customers of Tablo, and have a material adverse effect on our bookings, revenues, results of operations, and, ultimately, our future growth and profitability.

We recently launched a new pilot clinical and administrative services program designed to help bridge our healthcare provider customers, particularly those challenged by staffing shortages, as they transition from using an outsourced inpatient dialysis provider to offering on-site inpatient dialysis services on their own. In return for a fair market value service fee, we assign members of our own employed nurses on a temporary basis to support participating providers to launch and manage a dialysis program using Tablo and, as full-time staff is hired, to help train and onboard those nurses. This pilot program is in its very early stages and may not be successful in achieving the objectives we intend and anticipate and ultimately, it may fail to meet our customers’ expectations, all of which could harm our reputation and customer relationships. In addition, the program may not generate sufficient returns to justify our investment, or may result in unanticipated costs, which could adversely impact our operating margins and results of operations.
