SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements relating to our expectations, projections, beliefs, and prospects, which are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “believe,” “will,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “might,” “plan,” “expect,” “predict,” “could,” “potentially” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. You should read these statements carefully because they may relate to future expectations around growth, strategy, and anticipated trends in our business, contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition, or state other “forward-looking” information. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations, estimates, assumptions, and projections about future events and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements.

Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:

We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and other factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance, or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including those described in the sections titled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, together with any updates in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. There may also be additional risks of which we are not presently aware or that we currently believe are immaterial which could have an adverse impact on our business. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations.

SHOCKWAVE MEDICAL, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Shockwave Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 17, 2009. The Company is primarily engaged in the development of Intravascular Lithotripsy (“IVL”) technology for the treatment of calcified plaque in patients with peripheral vascular, coronary vascular and heart valve disease. Built on a balloon catheter platform, the IVL technology uses lithotripsy to disrupt both superficial and deep vascular calcium, while minimizing soft tissue injury, and an integrated angioplasty balloon to dilate blockages at low pressures, restoring blood flow.
In 2016, the Company began commercial and manufacturing operations, and began selling catheters based on the IVL technology. The Company’s headquarters are in Santa Clara, California. The Company is located and operates primarily in the United States and has subsidiaries in Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Ireland and Costa Rica.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $201.1 million, which are available to fund future operations. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022, will be sufficient for the Company to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including its growth rate, the timing and extent of its spending to support research and development activities, the timing and cost of establishing additional sales and marketing capabilities and the scope, duration and continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Risk and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to continuing risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including the impacts on its customers, patients, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels. Specifically, the Company has recently seen some disruptions in the operations of certain of its third-party suppliers, resulting in increased lead-times, higher component costs and lower allocations for the Company's purchase of some components. In certain cases, this has resulted in the Company being required to procure materials from alternate suppliers or incur higher logistical expenses. The Company is continuing to work closely with its manufacturing partners and suppliers to enable the Company to source key components and maintain appropriate inventory levels to meet customer demand. The Company, however, has not experienced material disruptions in its supply chain to date. The Company's future results of operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by a variety of factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially impact the Company's financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations remains uncertain.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any other future annual or interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of amounts invested in money market accounts.
Restricted cash as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 relates to a letter of credit established for the Company’s office leases and is recorded as other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
March 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | ||||||||||
(in thousands) | |||||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 66,252 | $ | 89,209 | |||||||
Restricted cash | 1,665 | 1,665 | |||||||||
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $ | 67,917 | $ | 90,874 |
Equity Method Investments
Entities which the Company has significant influence over activities of the entity, but does not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in accordance with Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The Company’s carrying value in the equity method investment is reported as equity method investment on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company records its proportionate share of the underlying income or loss which is recognized in share in net loss of equity method investment. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s share in the losses incurred by the equity method investment was $47,000. The Company eliminates any intra-entity profits to the extent of the Company’s beneficial interest.
The Company assesses its equity method investment for impairment when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the investment may be impaired. The Company considers all available evidence in assessing whether a decline in fair value is other than temporary. If the decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, the difference between the carrying amount of the investment and estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment charge.
Revenue
To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Product Revenue
The Company records product revenue primarily from the sale of its IVL catheters. The Company sells its products to hospitals, primarily through direct sales representatives, as well as through distributors in selected international markets. Additionally, a portion of the Company’s revenue is generated through a consignment model under which inventory is maintained at hospitals.
Product revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
For products sold through direct sales representatives, control is transferred upon delivery to customers. For products sold to distributors internationally and products sold to customers that utilize stocking orders, control is transferred upon shipment or delivery to the customer’s named location, based on the contractual shipping terms. For consignment inventory, control is transferred at the time the IVL catheters are consumed in a procedure. The Company elected to

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control as a fulfillment activity, and not a separate performance obligation.
The Company may provide for the use of an IVL generator and connector cable under an agreement to customers at no charge to facilitate use of the IVL catheters. These agreements do not contain contractually enforceable minimum commitments and are generally cancellable by either party with 30 days notice.
License Revenue
For arrangements that contain a license of the Company's functional intellectual property with a customer, the Company considers whether the license grant is distinct from other performance obligations in the arrangement. A license grant of functional intellectual property is generally considered to be capable of being distinct if a customer can benefit from the license on its own or together with other readily available resources. License revenue for licenses of functional intellectual property is recognized at a point in time when the Company satisfies its performance obligation of transferring the license to the customer.
Consideration received in advance of the satisfaction of a performance obligation is recognized as a contract liability. No license revenues were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based payments at fair value. The fair value of stock options is measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For share-based awards that vest subject to the satisfaction of a service requirement, the fair value measurement date for stock-based compensation awards is the date of grant and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis, over the vesting period. For share-based awards that vest upon the satisfaction of a performance target, the related compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period based on the expected achievement of the performance target. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Operating Leases
The Company’s operating leases consist of leased facilities for the Company’s headquarter offices, laboratory, and manufacturing space. Also included in operating leases are leases for vehicles, for use by certain employees of the Company, which were not material for the periods presented.
The weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate used to measure the Company’s operating lease liabilities were 9.7 years and 5.0%, respectively. The Company estimated the discount rate using the incremental borrowing rate as the rate implicit in the lease was not readily determinable.
Short-term leases are leases having a term of 12 months or less. The Company recognizes short-term leases on a straight-line basis and does not record a related lease asset or liability for such leases. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has no material finance leases. Operating lease cost was $1.2 million and $0.6 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

7. Term Notes
Loan and Security Agreement
In February 2020, the Company entered into a First Amendment to its Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to, among other things, refinance its existing term loan, which is accounted for as a modification of the Loan and Security Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement provides the Company with a supplemental term loan in the amount of $16.5 million. The principal amount outstanding under the supplemental term loan accrues interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate minus 1.25% and (b) 3.5%. The interest rate was 3.5% as of March 31, 2022.
The supplemental term loan matures on December 1, 2023. The Amended Credit Agreement provides an interest-only payment period through June 30, 2022.
The additional final payment for the Amended Credit Agreement is $1.6 million, which will be accrued over the term of the supplemental term loan using an effective interest rate that reflects the revised cash flows of the modified term loan.
The supplemental term loan is secured by all of the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property and certain other assets. The loan contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants, including with respect to the Company’s ability to enter into fundamental transactions, incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, pay any dividend or make any distributions to its holders, make investments, merge or consolidate with any other person or engage in transactions with the Company’s affiliates, but does not include any financial covenants.

2009 Equity Incentive Plan and 2019 Equity Incentive Plan
On June 17, 2009, the Company adopted the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) under which the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") had the authority to issue stock options to employees, directors and consultants.
In February 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), which became effective in connection with the initial public offering (the “IPO”). As a result, effective as of March 6, 2019, the Company may not grant any additional awards under the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan will continue to govern outstanding equity awards granted thereunder. The Company initially reserved 2,000,430 shares of common stock for the issuance of a variety of awards under the 2019 Plan, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, awards of restricted stock and awards of restricted stock units ("RSUs"). In addition, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2019 Plan will automatically increase on the first day of January for a period of up to ten years, which commenced on January 1, 2020, in an amount equal to 3% of the total number of shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding on the last day of the preceding year, or a lesser number of shares determined by the Board. As of March 31, 2022, there were 4,809,252 shares available for issuance under the 2019 Plan.

Restricted Stock Units
RSUs are share awards that entitle the holder to receive freely tradable shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The RSUs cannot be transferred and the awards are subject to forfeiture if the holder’s employment terminates prior to the release of the vesting restrictions. RSUs generally vest over a four-year period with straight-line annual vesting, provided the employee remains continuously employed with the Company. The fair value of RSUs is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
In February 2022, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") to certain key executives. The vesting of these PRSUs is dependent on the achievement of certain performance targets related to the Company’s compound annual growth rate of revenue over a or year performance period, provided the executives remain employed with the Company at the time of vesting. The number of PRSUs that vest will vary from 0% to 200% of the target which will be determined based on the level of performance attained for each performance period. The fair value of these PRSUs is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Compensation cost for PRSUs is recognized over the requisite service period based on the expected achievement of performance targets.
RSU and PRSU activity under the 2019 Plan is set forth below. Grant activity for all PRSUs are disclosed at target (100%):

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In February 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which became effective in connection with the IPO on March 6, 2019. The Company initially reserved 300,650 shares of common stock for purchase under the ESPP. Each offering under the ESPP to Company employees to purchase stock under the ESPP begins on each September 1 and March 1 and ends on the following February 28 or 29 and August 31, respectively. On each purchase date, which falls on the last date of each offering period, ESPP participants will purchase shares of common stock at a price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the fair market value per share of the common stock on the offering date or (2) the fair market value of the common stock on the purchase date. The occurrence and duration of offering periods under the ESPP are subject to the determinations of the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board, in its sole discretion.
The fair value of the ESPP shares is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recorded $0.4 million and $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022, a total of 1,212,769 shares were available for issuance under the ESPP.

Genesis Shockwave Private Limited
On March 19, 2021, the Company entered into the Joint Venture Deed (or “JV Agreement”) with Genesis MedTech International Private Limited (“Genesis”) to establish a long-term strategic partnership to develop, manufacture and commercialize certain of the Company’s interventional products in the People’s Republic of China, excluding the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau (“PRC”). Under the JV Agreement, Genesis Shockwave Private Ltd. (the “JV”) was formed under the laws of Singapore to serve as a joint venture of Genesis and the Company for the purpose of establishing and managing the strategic partnership.
On the same date, Genesis and the Company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the JV issued (i) 54,900 ordinary shares which represents 55% of total equity of the JV, to Genesis in exchange for a cash contribution of $15.0 million, of which 50% was paid upon signing and the remaining 50% was due within one year of signing, and (ii) 45,000 ordinary shares which represents 45% of total equity, to the Company as consideration for the Shockwave License Agreement (or “License Agreement”). Under the License Agreement, the Company has agreed to contribute to the JV an exclusive license under certain of the Company’s intellectual property rights to develop, manufacture, distribute and commercialize certain products in the PRC and is entitled to receive royalties on the sales of the licensed products in the PRC. Further, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell certain Company-manufactured products to the JV or a PRC subsidiary of the JV for commercialization and distribution in the PRC.
The Company has accounted for its investment in the JV under the equity method of accounting. As of March 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in the JV was $5.9 million and the Company owned a 45% interest in the entity. The Company’s share of losses generated by the JV for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $47,000, which was recorded in share in net loss of the equity method investment. The JV has not generated any revenues to date.

Upon execution of the License Agreement, on March 19, 2021, the Company received a 45% equity stake in the JV. The Company determined that the JV met the definition of a customer under Topic 606, and that the promised goods and services of the contribution of the license of intellectual property and associated manufacturing technology transfer to the JV were considered to be a single performance obligation. The transaction price of $12.3 million was estimated by reference to the cash value of the shares which were issued at the formation of the JV.
As of March 31, 2022, the associated manufacturing technology transfer to the JV has not yet been completed. The Company maintains a related party contract liability, noncurrent, of $12.3 million for the outstanding performance obligation. The Company will satisfy the outstanding performance obligation upon the completion of training provided by the Company to the JV, and successful regulatory approval from the China National Medical Products Administration.
12. Income Taxes
On a quarterly basis, the Company provides for income taxes based upon an estimated annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. The Company recognized income tax expense of $197,000 and $44,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022, reflects the impact of a change in U.S. tax law effective January 1, 2022, which requires the capitalization and amortization of research and experimental expenditures incurred after December 31, 2021.
The Company’s effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuation due to several factors, including our ability to accurately predict the pre-tax earnings in the various jurisdictions, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition or de-recognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions and the effects of tax law changes.
While the Company has reported U.S. pre-tax income for the first quarter 2022, the Company has not yet been able to establish sufficient significant positive evidence to conclude that its U.S. deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Therefore, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance against most of its U.S. deferred tax assets. Once the Company establishes a sustained level of profitability and projects continued profitability, the Company may reverse a significant portion of its valuation allowance recorded against U.S. deferred tax assets, resulting in an income tax benefit.

Overview
We are a medical device company focused on developing and commercializing products intended to transform the way calcified cardiovascular disease is treated. We aim to establish a new standard of care for medical device treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease through our differentiated and proprietary local delivery of sonic pressure waves for the treatment of calcified plaque, which we refer to as intravascular lithotripsy (“IVL”). Our IVL system (our “IVL System”), which leverages our IVL technology (our “IVL Technology”), is a minimally invasive, easy-to-use, and safe way to significantly improve patient outcomes. We are currently selling the following products in a number of countries around the world where we have applicable regulatory approvals:
Products for the Treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease (“PAD”):
•Our Shockwave M5 IVL catheter (the “M5 catheter”) and M5+ IVL catheter (“M5+ catheter”) are five-emitter catheters for use in our IVL System in “medium” vessels for the treatment of above-the-knee PAD. The M5 catheter was CE-Marked in April 2018 and cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in July 2018. The M5+ catheter, for which we are currently initiating a limited market release in the United States and select international locations, was CE-Marked in November 2020 and cleared by the FDA in April 2021.
•Our Shockwave S4 IVL catheter (“S4 catheter”) is a four-emitter catheter for use in our IVL System in small vessels for the treatment of below-the-knee PAD. The second version of our S4 catheter was cleared by the FDA in August 2019 and accepted by our EU notified body in May 2020 for use in our IVL System.
Product for the Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease (“CAD”):
•Our Shockwave C2 IVL catheter (“C2 catheter”) is a two-emitter catheter for use in our IVL System for the treatment of CAD. The C2 catheter was CE-Marked in June 2018. In August 2019, we received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA for our C2 catheters using our IVL System for the treatment of CAD. In August 2020, we submitted an application to the FDA for U.S. pre-market approval of our C2 catheters, which was approved by the FDA in February 2021. In March 2021, we submitted DISRUPT CAD III and DISRUPT CAD IV data to support our Shonin submission in Japan for our C2 Catheters and received approval in March 2022.
Our differentiated range of M5 and M5+ catheters, S4 catheters and C2 catheters enables delivery of IVL therapy of diseased vasculature throughout the body for calcium modification. Our IVL catheters resemble in form a standard balloon angioplasty catheter, the device most commonly used by interventionalists. This familiarity makes our IVL System easy to learn, adopt and use on a day-to-day basis.
Since inception, we have focused on generating clinical data to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of our IVL Technology. These initial studies have consistently shown low rates of complications regardless of which vessel was being studied. In addition to gaining regulatory approvals or clearances, the data from our clinical studies strengthen our ability to drive adoption of IVL Technology across multiple therapies in existing and new market segments. Our past studies have also guided optimal IVL procedure technique and informed the design of our IVL System and future products in development. In addition, we also have ongoing clinical programs across several products and indications, which, if successful, will allow us to expand commercialization of our products into new geographies and indications.
The first two indications we are targeting with our IVL System are PAD, the narrowing or blockage of vessels that carry blood from the heart to the extremities, and CAD, the narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the
17
heart. In the future, we see significant opportunity in the potential treatment of aortic stenosis, a condition where the heart’s aortic valve becomes increasingly calcified with age, causing it to narrow and obstruct blood flow from the heart.
We have adapted the use of lithotripsy to the cardiovascular field with the aim of creating what we believe can become the safest, most effective means of addressing the growing challenge of cardiovascular calcification. Lithotripsy has been used to successfully treat kidney stones (deposits of hardened calcium) for over 30 years. By integrating lithotripsy into a device that resembles a standard balloon catheter, physicians can prepare, deliver, and treat calcified lesions using a familiar form factor, without disruption to their standard procedural workflow. Our differentiated IVL System works by delivering shockwaves through the entire depth of the artery wall, modifying calcium in the medial layer of the artery, not just at the superficial most intimal layer. The shockwaves crack this calcium and enable the stenotic artery to expand at low pressures, thereby minimizing complications inherent to traditional balloon dilations, such as dissections or tears. Preparing the vessel with IVL facilitates optimal outcomes with other therapies, including stents and drug-eluting technologies. Using IVL also avoids complications associated with atherectomy devices such as dissection, perforation, and embolism. When followed by an anti-proliferative therapy such as a drug-coated balloons or drug-eluting stents, the micro-fractures may enable better drug penetration into the arterial wall and improve drug uptake, thereby improving the effectiveness of the combination treatment.
We market our products to hospitals whose interventional cardiologists, vascular surgeons, and interventional radiologists treat patients with PAD and CAD. We have dedicated meaningful resources to establish a direct sales capability in the United States, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and the United Kingdom, and we are working to build out our direct sales team in Japan in anticipation of the launch of our C2 catheters, for which we received Japanese regulatory approval in March 2022. We have complemented our direct sales capability with distributors actively selling our products in over 50 countries in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Australia/New Zealand. We are actively expanding our international field presence through new distributors, as well as additional sales and clinical personnel. In addition, we are continuing to add new U.S. sales territories.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we generated product revenue of $93.6 million and $31.9 million, respectively, and income from operations of $15.4 million and a loss of operations of $17.5 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 16% and 34%, respectively, of our product revenue was generated from customers located outside of the United States.
Since inception, we have incurred significant net losses. Although we had positive net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021. We may continue to incur losses in the future, which may vary significantly from period to period. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses as we (i) expand our marketing efforts to increase adoption of our products, (ii) expand existing relationships with our customers, (iii) obtain regulatory clearances or approvals for our planned or future products, (iv) conduct clinical trials on our existing and planned or future products, and (v) develop new products or add new features to our existing products. We will need to continue to generate significant revenue in order to sustain profitability as we continue to grow our business. Even if we achieve profitability for any period, we cannot be sure that we will remain profitable for any substantial period of time.
To date, our principal sources of liquidity have been the net proceeds we received through the sale of our common stock in our public offerings, private sales of equity securities and payments received from customers using our products. As of March 31, 2022, we had $201.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and an accumulated deficit of $238.3 million.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
The global COVID-19 pandemic presents significant risks to us and has had, and continues to have, far reaching impacts on our business, operations, and financial results and condition, directly and indirectly, including, without limitation, impacts on: the health of our management and employees; our manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sales operations; our research and development activities, including clinical activities; and customer and patient behaviors.
Access to many hospitals and other customer sites may be or may periodically be, depending on the current COVID-19 infection rates in the applicable location, restricted to essential personnel, which negatively impacts our ability to promote the use of our products with physicians. Additionally, many hospitals and other therapeutic centers have in the past suspended, and may suspend or continue to suspend in the future, many elective procedures, resulting in a reduced volume of procedures using our products. Our customer behavior is impacted by the prevalence of COVID-19 and changes in the infection rates in the locations where our customers are located.
18
Quarantines, shelter-in-place and similar government orders have also impacted and may continue to impact, our third-party manufacturers and suppliers, and could in turn adversely impact the availability or cost of materials, which could disrupt our supply chain.
In addition, we have recently seen some disruptions in 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. In certain cases, this has resulted in us being required to procure materials from alternate suppliers or incur higher logistical expenses. We are continuing to work closely with our manufacturing partners and suppliers to enable us to source key components and maintain appropriate inventory levels to meet customer demand. We, however, have not experienced material disruptions in our supply chain to date.
We have taken a variety of steps to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, while attempting to minimize business disruption. Essential staff in manufacturing and limited support functions continued to work from our Santa Clara headquarters following appropriate hygiene and social distancing protocols. To reduce the risk to our other employees and their families from potential exposure to COVID-19, until recently all other staff in our Santa Clara headquarters were required to work from home. Certain of these other employees had begun to return to our headquarters full or part-time during the second quarter of 2021, although we continue to review the impact of the omicron variant of COVID-19 on employee safety. We continue to limit non-essential travel to protect the health and safety of our employees and customers.
We are continuing to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our employees and customers and on the markets in which we operate, and will take further actions that we consider prudent to address the COVID-19 pandemic, while ensuring that we can support our customers and continue to develop our products.
The ultimate extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on us remains highly uncertain and will depend on future developments and factors that continue to evolve, including the ability of various regions to effectively manage COVID-19, the extent of the continuing resurgence of COVID-19, the efficacy and extent of distribution of vaccines, and the impact of mutations of COVID-19, and the ability of various economies and supply-chains to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of these developments and factors are outside of our control and could exist for an extended period of time even after the pandemic might end.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Product revenue
Product revenue is primarily from the sale of our IVL catheters.
We sell our products to hospitals, primarily through direct sales representatives, as well as through distributors in selected international markets. For products sold through direct sales representatives, control is transferred upon delivery to customers. For products sold to distributors internationally and products sold to customers that utilize stocking orders, control is transferred upon shipment or delivery to the customer’s named location, based on the contractual shipping terms. Additionally, a portion of our revenue is generated through a consignment model under which inventory is maintained at hospitals. For consignment inventory, control is transferred at the time the catheters are consumed in a procedure.
Cost of product revenue
Cost of product revenue consists primarily of costs of components for use in our products, the materials and labor that are used to produce our products, the manufacturing overhead that directly supports production and the depreciation relating to the equipment used in our IVL System to the extent that we loan generators to our hospital customers without charge to facilitate the use of our IVL catheters in their procedures. We depreciate equipment over a three-year period. We expect cost of product revenue to increase in absolute terms as our revenue grows.
Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, primarily production volumes, the cost of direct materials, product mix, geographic mix, discounting practices, manufacturing costs, product yields, headcount and cost-reduction strategies. We expect our gross margin percentage to marginally increase over the long term to the extent we are successful in increasing our sales volume and are therefore able to leverage our fixed costs. We intend to use our design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities to further advance and improve the efficiency of our manufacturing processes, which, if successful, we believe will reduce costs and enable us to increase our gross margin percentage. While we expect gross margin percentage to increase over the long term, it will likely fluctuate from quarter to quarter as we continue to introduce new products and adopt new manufacturing processes and technologies.
19
Research and development expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist of applicable personnel, consulting, materials, and clinical trial expenses. R&D expenses include:
•certain personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, bonus, travel, and stock-based compensation;
•cost of clinical studies to support new products and product enhancements, including expenses for clinical research organizations, and site payments;
•materials and supplies used for internal R&D and clinical activities;
•allocated overhead including facilities and information technology expenses; and
•cost of outside consultants who assist with technology development, regulatory affairs, clinical affairs and quality assurance.
R&D costs are expensed as incurred. In the future, we expect R&D expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to develop new products, enhance existing products and technologies, and perform activities related to obtaining additional regulatory approvals.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, sales commissions, travel, and stock-based compensation. Other sales and marketing expenses consist of marketing and promotional activities, including trade shows and market research. We expect to continue to grow our sales force and increase marketing efforts as we continue commercializing products based on our IVL Technology. As a result, we expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars over the long term.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, bonus, travel, and stock-based compensation. Other general and administrative expenses consist of professional services fees, including legal, audit and tax fees, insurance costs, outside consultant fees and employee recruiting and training costs. Moreover, we expect to incur additional expenses associated with operating as a public company, including legal, accounting, insurance, exchange listing and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) compliance and investor relations. As a result, we expect general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars in future periods.
Share in net loss of equity method investment
Share in net loss of equity method investment, represents our proportionate share of the underlying income or loss incurred in connection with our joint venture with Genesis MedTech International Private Limited (“Genesis”).
Interest expense
Consists of the interest and amortization expense related to our outstanding term loan which matures in December 2023.
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net consists of interest earned on our cash equivalents and short-term investments and the net impact of foreign exchange gains and losses.

Product revenue
Product revenue increased by $61.7 million, or 194%, from $31.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $93.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
The following table represents our product revenue based on product line:
Three Months Ended March 31, | Change $ | Change % | |||||||||||||||||||||
2022 | 2021 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
(in thousands, except percentages) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Coronary | $ | 70,337 | $ | 15,308 | $ | 55,029 | 359% | ||||||||||||||||

Product revenue | $ | 93,631 | $ | 31,900 | $ | 61,731 | 194% |
Coronary product revenue increased by $55.0 million, or 359%, from $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $70.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. In February 2021, we received U.S. FDA approval for our C2 catheters. The increase in coronary product revenue was primarily due to the commencement of sales of our C2 catheters in the United States, increased adoption of our products internationally, and continued recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year.
21
Peripheral product revenue increased by $6.7 million, or 42%, from $16.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change was due to an increase in purchase volume of our M5, M5+ and S4 IVL catheters within the United States and internationally driven by increased adoption of our products and recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year.
We sold to a greater number of customers in the United States and to a greater number of distributors internationally for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. Product revenue, classified by the major geographic areas in which our products are shipped, was $78.5 million within the United States and $15.1 million for all other countries in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $21.0 million within the United States and $10.9 million for all other countries in the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Cost of product revenue, gross profit and gross margin percentage
Cost of product revenue increased by $5.0 million, or 63%, from $7.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $12.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Gross margin percentage improved to 86% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 75% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This change in gross margin percentage was primarily due to a higher average selling price and lower fixed costs per unit from increased sales volume of our IVL catheters and efficiencies from improvements to operations and production.
Research and development expenses

Total research and development expenses | $ | 17,019 | $ | 10,277 | $ | 6,742 | 66% |
R&D expenses increased by $6.7 million, or 66%, from $10.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $17.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change was primarily due to a $4.4 million increase in compensation and personnel-related costs due to an increase in headcount, a $1.0 million increase in materials and supplies, a $1.0 million increase in facilities and other allocated costs due to increased information technology, rent and building expenditures, a $0.6 million increase in outside consultants, and a $0.3 million increase in other research and development costs. This was partially offset by a decrease in clinical-related costs of $0.6 million due to completion of patient enrollment for the majority of clinical trials.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased by $12.0 million, or 50%, from $24.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $36.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change was primarily due to a $6.8 million increase in compensation and personnel-related costs, resulting from increased headcount and commissions driven by increased sales of our products. There was also a $2.9 million increase in travel related costs, a $0.9 million increase in marketing and promotional costs, a $1.1 million increase in facilities and other allocated costs, a $0.3 million increase in professional services and consulting costs, and a $0.2 million increase in general corporate costs. This was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in materials and supplies.
22
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $5.2 million, or 71%, from $7.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $12.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change was primarily due to a $2.3 million increase in compensation and personnel-related costs, a $0.7 million increase in general corporate costs, a $1.4 million increase in professional services and consulting costs, a $0.4 million increase in facilities and other allocated costs, and a $0.4 million increase in travel related costs.
Share in net loss of equity method investment
The decrease in share in net loss of equity method investment of $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was due to in-process research and development costs expensed in the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Interest expense
Interest expense of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was related to our outstanding term loan which matures in December 2023. The term loan requires monthly repayments of principal starting in July 2022.
Other expense, net
Other expense, net increased by $0.1 million, or 32%, from $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in other expense was primarily due to increased foreign exchange losses, partially offset by an increase in interest income due to the increased interest rate environment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, our principal sources of liquidity have been the net proceeds of $280.0 million that we received through the sales of our common stock in our public offerings, $10.0 million of private sales of our equity securities, payments received from customers using our products and to a lesser extent proceeds from our debt financings.
We have a number of ongoing clinical trials and expect to continue to make substantial investments in these trials and in additional clinical trials that are designed to provide clinical evidence of the safety and efficacy of our products. We intend to continue to make significant investments in our sales and marketing organization by increasing the number of U.S. sales representatives and expanding our international marketing programs to help facilitate further adoption among existing hospital accounts and physicians as well as broaden awareness of our products to new hospitals. We also expect to continue to make investments in R&D, regulatory affairs, and clinical studies to develop future generations of products based on our IVL Technology, support regulatory submissions, and demonstrate the clinical efficacy of our products. Moreover, we expect to continue to incur expenses associated with operating as a public company, including legal, accounting, insurance, exchange listing and SEC compliance, investor relations and other expenses. Because of these and other factors, although we had positive net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 and we may incur net losses and have negative cash flows from operations in the future.
As of March 31, 2022, we had $201.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and an accumulated deficit of $238.3 million. In the short term, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient for at least the next 12 months to meet our requirements and plans for cash, including supporting working capital and capital expenditure requirements. In the long term, our ability to support our working capital and capital expenditure requirements will depend on many factors, including:
•the cost, timing and results of our clinical trials and regulatory reviews;
•the cost of our research and development activities for new and modified products;
•the cost and timing of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;
•the terms and timing of any other collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish including any contract manufacturing arrangements;
•the timing, receipt and amount of sales from our current and potential products;
•the degree of success we experience in commercializing our products;
•the emergence of competing or complementary technologies;
23
•the cost of preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and
•the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies, although we currently have no commitments or agreements relating to any of these types of transactions.
To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and cash and other requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of additional debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, there is a possibility we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Manufacturing Purchase Obligations
We have engaged a contract manufacturer to produce and supply us with certain products. We have fixed commitments of approximately $11.1 million within the next twelve months.
Operating Leases
Our operating lease commitments mostly consist of our lease obligations for our Santa Clara headquarter office spaces. Our total operating lease commitments as of March 31, 2022 are approximately $55.6 million, of which $4.3 million is expected to be paid within the next twelve months.
There were no other material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to our contractual obligations as compared to those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any commitments or obligations, including contingent obligations, arising from arrangements with unconsolidated entities or persons that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, cash requirements or capital resources.

Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | (22,957) | $ | 6,583 |
Operating activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $1.9 million, attributable to a net income of $14.5 million, non-cash charges of $11.6 million, partially offset by a net change in our net operating assets and liabilities of $24.2 million. Non-cash charges of $11.6 million primarily consisted of $9.5 million in stock-based compensation, $1.0 million in depreciation and amortization, and $0.8 million in amortization of right-of-use assets. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities of $24.2 million was primarily due to a $10.4 million increase in accounts receivable due to an increase in sales, a $10.1 million increase in inventory driven by an increase in raw materials and finished goods inventory, and a $9.1 million decrease in accrued and other current liabilities resulting from payment of accrued bonuses and other compensation in the current quarter. These changes were partially offset by a $4.9 million increase in accounts payable due to the timing of vendor billings.
24
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $17.3 million, attributable to a net loss of $23.6 million and a net change in our net operating assets and liabilities of $6.0 million and non-cash charges of $12.3 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $5.5 million in share of net loss of equity method investment, $5.1 million in stock-based compensation, $0.7 million in depreciation and amortization, $0.4 million in amortization of right-of-use assets, $0.4 million in accretion of discount on available-for-sale securities and $0.2 million in amortization of debt issuance costs. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $7.9 million increase in accounts receivable due to an increase in sales, $3.3 million increase in inventory, and a $0.1 million increase in other assets, prepaid and other current assets and a $0.3 million decrease in lease liabilities. These changes were partially offset by a $5.6 million increase in accrued and other current liabilities and accounts payable resulting primarily from increases in our operating activities and accrued employee compensation due to an increase in headcount.
Investing activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used in investing activities was $27.4 million, attributable to purchases of available-for-sale investments of $42.1 million and purchases of property and equipment of $3.3 million, partially offset by proceeds from maturities of available-for-sale investments of $18.0 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash provided by investing activities was $27.1 million, attributable to proceeds from maturities of available-for-sale investments of $46.4 million, partially offset by purchase of available-for-sale investments of $15.3 million and purchase of property and equipment of $4.1 million.
Financing activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash provided by financing activities was $2.5 million, attributable to proceeds of $2.1 million from the issuance of shares under our employee stock purchase plan and proceeds of $0.4 million from stock option exercises.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash used by financing activities was $3.2 million, attributable to payment of taxes withheld on net settled vesting of restricted stock units of $5.1 million, partially offset by $1.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock under employee stock purchase plan and $0.8 million in proceeds from stock option exercises.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe 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 and any such differences may be material.
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and assumptions associated with the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no material changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk as compared to the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk described in our Annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
25
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent limitation on the effectiveness of internal control
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Petitions for inter partes review (“IPR”) of U.S. Pat. Nos. 9,642,673, 8,956,371 and 8,728,091, which are three of our issued U.S. patents that relate to our current IVL technology, were filed in December 2018 at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s (the “USPTO”) Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the “PTAB”) by Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. ("CSI"), one of our competitors. The PTAB instituted IPR proceedings for all three patents.
The PTAB held oral hearings on April 15-16, 2020. On July 8, 2020, the PTAB ruled that one claim (“Claim 5”) in U.S. Pat No. 8,956,371 (the “’371 patent”) is valid and ruled that all other claims in the ’371 patent are invalid and that all claims of U.S. Pat No. 8,728,091 (the “’091 patent”) are invalid. On July 20, 2020, the PTAB ruled that all claims of U.S. Pat. No. 9,642,673 (the “’673 patent”) are invalid. On August 27, 2020, further briefing by the parties was requested by the PTAB judge in the ’371 patent proceeding to assess whether recent guidance from the USPTO relating to “applicant admitted prior art” impacted the PTAB decision in the ’371 patent proceeding. In addition, the PTAB judge reset the time for commencement of an appeal in the ’371 patent proceeding pending the entry of a final decision after the requested briefing. On October 13, 2020, we submitted the last of the requested briefing, and the PTAB decision is pending. Subject to the final PTAB decision regarding the ’371 patent proceeding, we anticipate appealing this ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit”).
We appealed the rulings in the IPR proceedings for the ’091 patent and the ’673 patent to the Federal Circuit. On January 18, 2022, the Federal Circuit issued two short opinions affirming the decisions of the PTAB, finding that the claims of the ’091 patent and the ’673 patent are unpatentable (the “Rulings”). The Rulings conclude the IPR proceedings initiated by CSI for these two patents and resulted in the loss in scope of the ’091 patent and the ’673 patent, which may limit our ability to stop others from using or commercializing products and technology similar or identical to ours.
IPR proceedings relating to the ’371 patent remain pending before the PTAB on rehearing and have not yet been addressed by the Federal Circuit. Claim 5 of the ’371 patent was found to be valid, and all other claims remain valid and enforceable until a final decision is obtained from the PTAB, and any appeals have been exhausted. Upon the conclusion of such appeals, if we are unsuccessful in whole or in part, the ’371 patent proceedings could result in the loss or narrowing in scope of the ’371 patent, which could further limit our ability to stop others from using or commercializing products and technology similar or identical to ours. For more information regarding the risks presented by such proceedings, please see the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, titled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property.”
From time to time, we may become involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We have received, and may from time to time receive, letters from third parties alleging patent infringement, violation of employment practices or trademark infringement, and we may in the future participate in litigation to defend ourselves. We cannot predict the results of any such disputes, and despite the potential outcomes, the existence thereof may have an adverse material impact on us due to diversion of management time and attention as well as the financial costs related to resolving such disputes.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2022. The risk factors described in our 2021 Annual Report, as well as other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties that we face, however, are not limited to those described in the 2021 Annual Report. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business and the trading price of our securities, particularly in light of the fast-changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, containment measures and the related impacts to economic and operating conditions.
