You should read the matters described in "Risk Factors" and the other cautionary statements made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this report will prove to be accurate and therefore you are encouraged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that advise of the risks and factors that may affect our business.

Tactile Systems Technology, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations
Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. (“we,” “us,” and “our”) is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the Flexitouch and Entre systems, medical devices that help control symptoms of lymphedema, a chronic and progressive medical condition, and the Actitouch system, a medical device used to treat venous leg ulcers and chronic venous insufficiency. We provide our products for a patient’s use in the home and sell them throughout the United States through referrals from clinicians diagnosing and treating lymphatic and vascular disorders. We do business as “Tactile Medical.”
Basis of Presentation
Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those which are normal and recurring) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation.
The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017, or for any other interim period or for any future year. Our business is affected by seasonality. In the first quarter of each year, when most patients have started a new insurance year and have not yet met their annual out-of-pocket payment obligations, we experience substantially reduced demand for our products. We typically experience higher sales in the third and fourth quarters as a result of patients having paid their annual insurance deductibles in full, thereby reducing their out-of-pocket costs for our products, and because patients often spend the remaining balances in their flexible spending accounts at that time. This seasonality applies only to purchases of our products by patients covered by commercial insurance and is not relevant to Medicare, Medicaid, or Veterans Administration hospitals, as those payers do not have plans that include patient deductibles for purchases of our products. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
We were originally incorporated in Minnesota under the name Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. on January 30, 1995. During 2006, we established a merger corporation and subsequently, on July 21, 2006, merged with and into this merger corporation, resulting in us being reincorporated as a Delaware corporation. The resulting corporation assumed the name Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. In September 2013, we began doing business as “Tactile Medical.”
In connection with preparing for our initial public offering, our board of directors and stockholders approved a 1-for-2.820044 reverse stock split of our capital stock. The reverse stock split became effective in June 2016. All share and per share amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to this reverse stock split, including reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in par value of common stock to additional paid-in capital.
On August 2, 2016 we closed the initial public offering of our common stock, which resulted in the sale of 4,120,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $10.00 per share. We received net proceeds from the initial public offering of approximately $35.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and approximately $2.9 million of transaction expenses. In connection with the closing of the initial public offering, all of our outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock automatically converted to common stock on August 2, 2016. At August 2, 2016, we did not have any redeemable convertible preferred stock issued or outstanding. The significant increase in common stock outstanding in connection with the initial public offering impacts the year-over-year comparability of our earnings per share calculations.
8
Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Swelling Solutions, Inc., after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 there were no material changes in our significant accounting policies. See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for information regarding our significant accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act of 2012. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can selectively delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption and, as a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers that are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that we can elect to opt out of the extended transition period at any time, which election is irrevocable.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The new section will replace Section 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and creates modifications to various other revenue accounting standards for specialized transactions and industries. The section is intended to conform revenue accounting principles with a concurrently issued International Financial Reporting Standards to reconcile previously differing treatment between U.S. practices and those of the rest of the world and to enhance disclosures related to disaggregated revenue information. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, for private companies; this effective date is applicable for us due to the JOBS Act exemption described above. Therefore, we plan to further evaluate the timing and anticipated impact of the adoption of this updated guidance on our consolidated financial statements in future periods.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), which supersedes the existing guidance for lease accounting, “Leases” (Topic 840). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 for private companies; this effective date is applicable to us due to the JOBS Act exemption described above. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial adoption, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief. We plan to further evaluate the timing and anticipated impact of the adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements in future periods.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses,” to require the measurement of expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, for private companies; this effective date is applicable to us due to the JOBS Act exemption described above. Therefore, we plan to further evaluate the timing and anticipated impact of the adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements in future periods.
9
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) — Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” to provide clarity on how certain cash receipt and cash payment transactions are presented and classified within the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for private companies; this effective date is applicable for us due to the JOBS Act exemption described above. Therefore, we plan to further evaluate the timing and anticipated impact of the adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements in future periods.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash on hand, deposits and funds invested in available-for-sale securities with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. At September 30, 2017, our cash was held primarily in checking and money market accounts.

Our investments in marketable debt securities all have contractual maturities of 12 to 25 months from September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, marketable debt securities valued at $2.0 million were in an unrealized gain position totaling $1,000, and marketable debt securities valued at $20.0 million were in an unrealized loss position totaling $36,000 (all had been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months). At December 31, 2016, marketable debt securities valued at $4.0 million were in an unrealized gain position totaling $2,000 and marketable debt securities valued at $7.0 million were in an unrealized loss position totaling $19,000 (all had been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months).
Net pre-tax unrealized losses for marketable debt securities of $35,000 at September 30, 2017 were recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity. Marketable debt securities valued at $1.0 million were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, with no resulting gain or loss.

Note 5. Line of Credit — Bank
At December 31, 2016 we had a $2.0 million line of credit with a bank that bore interest based on the prime rate. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit as of December 31, 2016. The line of credit expired on May 11, 2017, and there was no outstanding balance on the line as of that date.
Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Obligations
In March 2008, we entered into a non-cancelable operating lease agreement for building space for our corporate headquarters that provides for monthly rent, real estate taxes and operating expenses that was subsequently extended to July 31, 2021.
In July 2016, we entered into a non-cancelable operating lease agreement for building space to accommodate the relocation of our manufacturing, quality, and research and development functions. The lease agreement extends through November 2021 and provides for monthly rent, real estate taxes and operating expenses.
Rent expense was $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1.1 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
In July 2016, we entered into a fleet vehicle lease program for certain members of our field sales organization. At September 30, 2017, we had 26 vehicles with future lease obligations under this program.
We also have operating lease agreements for certain computer and office equipment that expire in 2020. The leases provide an option to purchase the related equipment at fair market value at the end of the lease.

Future base minimum lease payments for all lease obligations are expected to be as follows for the years ending December 31:

Major Vendors
We had purchases from three vendors that collectively accounted for 47% and 35% of total purchases for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 39% and 36% of total purchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Employment Agreements
We have entered into employment agreements with certain of our officers. The agreements provide for payment of severance ranging from 9 to 15 months of then-current annualized base salary in the event of termination by us without cause or by the employee for good reason or, in the case of two of the officers, death, disability, or as a result of a qualifying termination after a change in control. The agreements also provide for payment of an amount equal to 9 to 15 months of the then-current annual target bonus in the event of termination by us without cause or by the employee for good reason, or, in the case of two of the officers, death, disability, or as a result of a qualifying termination after a change in control. In addition, the agreements provide for the vesting of certain equity compensation through the date of termination in the event of termination by us without cause or by the employee for good reason.
Retirement Plan
We maintain a 401(k) retirement plan for our employees in which eligible employees can contribute a percentage of their pre-tax compensation. We may also make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan. We made contributions of $42,000 and $45,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $135,000 and $120,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Note 7. Stockholders' Equity
We completed an initial public offering of our common stock on August 2, 2016, in which we sold 4,120,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $10.00 per share. Immediately prior to the completion of the initial public offering, all then-outstanding shares of our Series A and Series B preferred stock were converted into 5,924,453 shares of our common stock. Our Series A preferred stock converted to common stock at a ratio of 1-for-1.03 and our Series B preferred stock converted to common stock at a ratio of 1-for-1. In addition, immediately prior to the completion of the initial public offering, we issued 2,354,323 additional shares of our common stock that our Series A and Series B preferred stockholders were entitled to receive in connection with the conversion of the preferred stock, and we issued 956,842 shares of our common stock to pay accrued dividends on our Series B preferred stock. We also paid $8.2 million in cumulative accrued dividends to our Series A convertible preferred stockholders in connection with the initial public offering, including $0.1 million of dividends paid to the holders of the common restricted shares.
Stock-Based Compensation
Our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) authorizes us to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units and other stock-based awards to employees, non-employee directors and certain consultants and advisors. There were up to 4,800,000 shares of our common stock initially reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2016 Plan will automatically increase annually on January 1 of each calendar year, commencing in 2017 and ending
12
on and including January 1, 2026, by an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) 5% of the number of common shares of stock outstanding as of December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, or (b) 2,500,000 shares; provided, however, that our Board of Directors may determine that any annual increase be a lesser number. In addition, all awards granted under our 2007 Omnibus Stock Plan and our 2003 Stock Option Plan that were outstanding when the 2016 Plan became effective and that are forfeited, expire, are cancelled, are settled for cash or otherwise not issued, will become available for issuance under the 2016 Plan. Effective January 1, 2017, 841,686 shares were added to the 2016 Plan, as available for issuance thereunder, pursuant to the automatic increase feature of the 2016 Plan. As of September 30, 2017, 4,870,532 shares were available for future grant pursuant to the 2016 Plan.
Upon adoption and approval of the 2016 Plan, all of our previous equity incentive compensation plans were terminated. However, existing awards under those plans continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedules and will expire at the end of their original terms.
We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $3.1 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This expense was allocated as follows:

Stock Options
Stock options issued to participants other than non-employees vest over four years and typically have a contractual term of ten years. The stock options granted on July 27, 2016 to our non-employee directors vested in full on May 9, 2017, the date of our 2017 annual meeting of stockholders. New stock options were granted to our non-employee directors on that date. These options vest on the earlier of May 9, 2018 or the date of our 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. These options have a contractual term of seven years. Our stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was as follows:

(2) |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were 1,680 restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors in lieu of their quarterly cash retainer payments. These restricted stock units were fully vested upon grant and represent the right to receive one share of common stock, per unit, upon the earlier of the directors’ termination of service as a director of ours or the occurrence of a change of control of us. These restricted stock units are included in the “Granted” line in the table above and are also included in the “Vested” line in the table above due to their being fully vested upon grant. On May 9, 2017, upon his departure from our board of directors, we issued 1,494 shares of common stock to Mr. Shroff, which represented the settlement of restricted stock units that had been previously granted to him in lieu of his quarterly director retainer payments. As of September 30, 2017, there were 1,912 outstanding restricted stock units that had been previously granted to non-employee directors in lieu of their quarterly director retainer payments. These restricted stock units are not included in the “Balance at September 30, 2017” line in the table above but listed separately because they are fully vested. |
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Our employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), which was approved by our Board of Directors on April 27, 2016 and by our stockholders on June 20, 2016, allows participating employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. The plan is available to all of our employees and employees of participating subsidiaries. Participating employees may purchase common stock, on a voluntary after-tax basis, at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the closing market price per share of our common stock on the first or last trading day of each stock purchase period. The plan ordinarily consists of six-month purchase periods, beginning on May 16 and November 16 of each calendar year, but the initial purchase period began on July 27, 2016 and ended on May 15, 2017. As of May 15, 2017, 259,981 shares were purchased utilizing $2.2 million of employee contributions in the initial purchase period. A total of 1.6 million shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the plan, and this share reserve will automatically be supplemented each January 1, commencing in 2017 and ending on and including January 1, 2026, by an amount equal to the least of (1) 1% of the shares of our common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, (2) 500,000 shares or (3) such lesser amount as our Board of Directors may determine. Effective January 1, 2017, 168,337 shares were added to the ESPP, as available for issuance thereunder, pursuant to the automatic increase feature of the plan. As of September 30, 2017, 1,508,356 shares were available for future issuance under the ESPP. We recognized $0.1 million and $0.5 million in stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. We recognized stock based compensation expense related to the ESPP of $0.2 million for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Note 8. Income Taxes
We record our interim provision for income taxes by applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date pre-tax income and adjust the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the reporting of amounts for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes. These differences relate primarily to different methods used for income tax reporting purposes, including for depreciation and amortization, warranty and vacation accruals, share-based compensation and deductions related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and inventory reserves.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was (6.7)%, compared to 50.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The primary driver of the change in our effective tax rate was a significant increase in tax benefits related to tax-deductible share-based compensation activity as compared to the prior year period. The significant tax deductions related to tax benefits with respect to the vesting of restricted stock units, exercises of non-qualified stock options, and disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options and ESPP shares. We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million and an income tax expense of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The significant tax benefits in the current year period related to the share-based compensation activity resulted in an aggregate tax benefit despite the fact that we generated pre-tax income of $1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, driving the effective tax rate for the period to a negative rate. Our provisions for income taxes included current federal and state income tax expense, as well as deferred federal and state income tax expense.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 539.1%, compared to 50.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The primary driver of the change in our effective tax rate was a significant increase in tax benefits related to tax-deductible share-based compensation as compared to the prior year period. The significant tax deductions related to tax benefits with respect to the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, exercises of non-qualified stock options, and disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options and ESPP shares. Largely as a result of this activity, we recorded an income tax benefit of $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to income tax expense of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The tax benefit of $4.5 million in the current year period on a pre-tax loss of $0.8 million resulted in the 539.1% effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Our provisions for income taxes included current federal and state income tax expense, as well as deferred federal and state income tax expense.
We recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. As of September 30, 2017, we had an unrecognized tax benefit ("UTB") with respect to state income taxes of approximately $0.2 million. The UTB represents tax, interest, and penalties related to unfiled and unpaid income taxes in several state jurisdictions. We are pursuing actions to settle outstanding liabilities and reviewing compliance in all relevant tax jurisdictions.
We are not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. In the event of any future tax assessments, we have elected to record the income taxes and any related interest and penalties as income tax expense on our statement of operations.

Note 10. Fair Value Measurements
We determine the fair value of our assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We use a fair value hierarchy with three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1). The next highest priority is based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets or other observable inputs (Level 2). The lowest priority is given to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The following provides information regarding fair value measurements for our cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 according to the three-level fair value hierarchy.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were no transfers within the three-level hierarchy. A significant transfer is recognized when the inputs used to value a security have been changed, which merits a transfer between the disclosed levels of the valuation hierarchy.
The fair values for our currency, money market mutual funds, U.S. government and agency obligations and corporate debt securities are determined based on valuations provided by external investment managers who obtain them from a variety of industry standard data providers.
The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these items. Non-financial assets, such as equipment and leasehold improvements, and intangible assets are subject to non-recurring fair value measurements if they are deemed impaired. We had no re-measurements of non-financial assets to fair value in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We are a medical technology company that develops and provides innovative medical devices for the treatment of chronic diseases. Our mission is to help people suffering from chronic diseases live better and care for themselves at home. We focus our efforts on advancing the standard of care in treating chronic diseases in the home setting to improve patient outcomes and quality of life and help control rising healthcare expenditures. Our initial area of therapeutic focus is vascular disease, with a goal of advancing the standard of care in treating lymphedema and chronic venous insufficiency. We possess a unique, scalable platform to deliver at-home healthcare solutions throughout the United States. This evolving home care delivery model is recognized by policy-makers and insurance payers as a key for controlling rising healthcare costs. Our solutions deliver cost-effective, clinically proven, long-term treatment for patients with these chronic diseases.
Our proprietary products are the Flexitouch, Entre, and Actitouch systems. A predecessor to our Flexitouch system received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in July 2002, and we introduced the system to address the many limitations of self-administered home-based manual lymphatic drainage therapy. We began selling our more advanced Flexitouch system after receiving 510(k) clearance from the FDA in October 2006. In September 2016, we received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the Flexitouch system in treating lymphedema of the head and neck. In June 2017, we announced that we received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the Flexitouch Plus, the third-generation version of our Flexitouch system. We derive the vast majority of our revenues from our Flexitouch system. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, sales of our Flexitouch system represented 91% and 86% of our revenues, respectively.
In September 2012, we acquired our second proprietary product, the Actitouch system. The system received 510(k) clearance from the FDA in June 2013, and we began selling the product in September 2013 to address the many limitations of multilayered bandages that are worn by patients suffering from venous leg ulcers. We also introduced our Entre system in the United States in February 2013. The Entre system is sold to patients who need a more basic pump or who do not yet qualify for insurance reimbursement for an advanced compression device such as our Flexitouch system. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, sales of our Entre and Actitouch systems combined represented 9% and 14% of our revenues, respectively.
To support the growth of our business, we invest heavily in our commercial infrastructure, consisting of our direct sales force, home training resources, reimbursement capabilities and clinical expertise. We market our products in the United States using a direct-to-patient and -provider model. Our direct sales force has grown from three representatives in March 2005 to a team of over 150 people as of September 30, 2017. This model allows us to directly approach patients and clinicians, whereby we disintermediate the traditional durable medical equipment channel, allowing us to capture both the manufacturer and distributor margins. We also utilize over 400 licensed, independent healthcare practitioners as home trainers who educate patients on the proper use of our systems. We invest substantial resources in our reimbursement operations group of over 80 people that focuses on verifying case-by-case benefits, obtaining prior authorization, billing and collecting payments from payers, and providing customer support services. Our payer relations group of 34 people is responsible for developing relationships with insurance payer decision-makers to educate them on our product efficacy, develop overall payer coverage policies and reimbursement criteria, manage Medicare patient claims and contracts with payers, and serve as an advocacy liaison between patients, clinicians and payers throughout the appeals process. We also have a clinical team, consisting of a scientific advisory board, as well as in-house therapists and nurses, that serves as a resource to clinicians and patients and guides the development of clinical evidence in support of our products.
Our patients are reimbursed by government and private payers for the purchase of our products pursuant to established rates with each payer. We rely on third-party contract manufacturers for the sourcing of parts, the assembly of our controllers and the manufacturing of the garments used with our systems. We conduct final assembly of the garments used with our Flexitouch system, perform quality assurance, and ship our products from our facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we generated revenues of $28.3 million and had net income of $1.3 million, compared to revenues of $22.6 million and net income of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we generated revenues of $74.4 million and had net income of $3.6 million, compared to revenues of $56.1 million and net income of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Our primary sources of capital to date have been from operating income, private placements of our capital stock, and capital raised in our initial public offering, which closed on August 2, 2016. We operate in one segment for financial reporting purposes.

Revenues
Revenues increased $5.7 million, or 25%, to $28.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $22.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016. Revenues increased $18.3 million, or 33%, to $74.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $56.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The growth in revenues was attributable to an increase of approximately $6.8 million, or 35%, in sales of our Flexitouch system for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and an increase of approximately $19.9 million, or 42%, in sales of our Flexitouch system for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. These increases in Flexitouch system sales were largely driven by expansion of our sales force and increased physician and patient awareness of the treatment options for lymphedema, as well as increased contractual coverage with national and regional insurance payers. The increases in sales of our Flexitouch system were partially offset by decreases of 36% and 20% in sales of our Entre and Actitouch systems in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016, respectively.
Revenues from Veterans Administration hospitals represented 20% and 13% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Revenues from Veterans Administration hospitals represented 19% and 16% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Revenues from Medicare represented 6% and 13% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Revenues from Medicare represented 9% and 13% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The following tables summarize our revenues by product for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, both in dollars and percentage of total revenues:

Our business is affected by seasonality. In the first quarter of each year, when most patients have started a new insurance year and have not yet met their annual out-of-pocket payment obligations, we experience substantially reduced demand for our products. We typically experience higher sales in the third and fourth quarters as a result of patients having paid their annual insurance deductibles in full, thereby reducing their out-of-pocket costs for our products, and because patients often spend the remaining balances in their flexible spending accounts at that time. This seasonality applies only to purchases of our products by patients covered by commercial insurance and is not relevant to Medicare,
20
Medicaid, or Veterans Administration hospitals, as those payers do not have plans that include patient deductibles for purchases of our products.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin
Cost of goods sold increased $1.2 million, or 20%, to $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Cost of goods sold increased $4.8 million, or 31%, to $20.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $15.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in cost of goods sold for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of systems sold and additional manufacturing headcount to support increased volumes.
Gross margin was 73% and 72% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Gross margin was 73% of sales for both of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.9 million, or 22%, to $10.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was largely driven by a $0.6 million increase in variable sales compensation, a $0.5 million increase in personnel-related compensation expenses due to increased sales and marketing headcount and $0.2 million of incremental stock-based compensation expense. In addition, other sales and marketing expenses increased $0.6 million due to increased travel, consulting, recruitment and training expenses, as well as increased patient training costs.
Sales and marketing expenses increased $7.8 million, or 33%, to $31.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $23.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily driven by a $2.0 million increase in personnel-related compensation expenses due to increased sales and marketing headcount, a $1.9 million increase in variable sales compensation and $0.8 million incremental stock-based compensation expense. In addition, sales and marketing expenses increased $3.1 million due to increased travel, consulting, recruitment, and training expenses, as well as increased patient training costs.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 13%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease primarily related to a decline in personnel-related expenses.
R&D expenses increased $0.4 million, or 12%, to $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in R&D expenses was due to a $0.2 million increase in personnel-related expenses and a $0.2 million increase in product development and consulting expense.
Reimbursement, General and Administrative Expenses
Reimbursement, general and administrative expenses increased $2.5 million, or 48%, to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $0.9 million in professional fees including legal, accounting and audit expenses, including approximately $0.5 million of expenses associated with the secondary offering of shares of our common stock by certain selling stockholders in September 2017, which expenses we paid on behalf of the selling stockholders pursuant to an investors’ rights agreement. Additionally, the increase in reimbursement, general and administrative expenses included an increase of $0.8 million related to accrued sales and use and franchise taxes, a $0.4 million increase in personnel-related expenses resulting from increased headcount in our reimbursement operations, payer relations, and corporate functions, and a $0.1 million increase in stock-based compensation expense.
Reimbursement, general and administrative expenses increased $7.3 million, or 59%, to $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The
21
increase in reimbursement, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to a $2.0 million increase in personnel-related expenses resulting from increased headcount in our reimbursement operations, payer relations, and corporate functions, an increase of $1.9 million in professional fees including legal, accounting and audit expenses associated with public company requirements and $0.5 million of expenses associated with the September 2017 secondary offering, a $1.4 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and an increase of $1.0 million related to accrued sales and use and franchise taxes.
Other Income, Net
Other income was $85,000 and $10,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.2 million and $20,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in other income in both periods was due to investment income earned on our invested capital derived from our initial public offering proceeds.
Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million and income tax expense of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The current period tax benefit was primarily due to a significant increase in tax benefits related to tax-deductible share-based compensation activity recognized in the current quarter as compared to the previous reporting period. Significant tax deductions resulted from windfall benefits with respect to the vesting of restricted stock units, excess tax benefits associated with exercises of non-qualified stock options, and disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options and ESPP shares. These income tax benefits in the current reporting period resulted in a significant increase in our earnings per share for the period.
We recorded an income tax benefit of $4.5 million and income tax expense of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The current period tax benefit was primarily due to a significant increase in tax benefits related to tax-deductible share-based compensation activity as compared to the previous reporting period. This activity included vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, excess tax benefits associated with exercises of non-qualified stock options, and disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options and ESPP shares. These income tax benefits in the current year resulted in a significant increase in our earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
At September 30, 2017, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $19.7 million, marketable securities of $22.0 million and net accounts receivable of $14.6 million.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $33,000. This source of cash was primarily from net income of $3.6 million and non-cash net income adjustments of $4.1 million, including $3.1 million of stock-based compensation expense and $1.1 million of depreciation and amortization expense. This source was partially offset by a $7.7 million increase in net operating assets and liabilities, primarily related to increases in income taxes receivable of $5.6 million and inventory of $3.8 million. The increase in income taxes
22
receivable was a result of the significant tax benefits recognized in the period associated with tax-deductible share-baesd compensation activity. The increase in inventory was driven largely by the increased sales volume as well as purchases associated with product development and new product introductions.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $4.3 million. This source of cash primarily resulted from net income of $0.5 million, a $1.8 million decrease in net operating assets and liabilities, including a $1.7 million increase in accounts payable on increased inventory purchases and other operating expenses, and $2.0 million of non-cash expense items, including $0.9 million of stock-based compensation expense and $0.7 million of depreciation and amortization expense.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $13.2 million, consisting primarily of $11.1 million in net purchases of marketable securities and $2.0 million in purchases of product tooling, computer and manufacturing equipment, and leasehold improvements.
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.5 million, consisting primarily of purchases of product tooling, computer and manufacturing equipment.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $2.1 million, consisting of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the ESPP of $2.2 million and proceeds from exercises of common stock options and warrants of $0.7 million, partially offset by the purchase of treasury stock to fund taxes from restricted stock award vesting of $0.5 million and taxes paid for the net share settlement of stock-settled restricted stock units of $0.3 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $28.4 million, generated by gross proceeds of $41.2 million from our initial public offering, partially offset by $8.2 million in payments of accrued dividends on preferred stock and $4.8 million of underwriting discounts and expenses associated with the initial public offering.
Credit Line
At December 31, 2016 we had a $2.0 million line of credit with a bank that bore interest based on the prime rate. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit as of December 31, 2016. The line of credit expired on May 11, 2017, and there was no outstanding balance on the line as of that date.
Adequacy of Capital Resources
Our future capital requirements may vary significantly from those now planned and will depend on many factors, including:
· |
sales and marketing resources needed to further penetrate our market; |
· |
expansion of our operations domestically and/or internationally; |
· |
response of competitors to our solutions and applications; |
· |
costs associated with clinical research activities; |
· |
costs to develop and implement new products; and |
· |
use of capital for acquisitions, if any. |
23
Historically, we have experienced increases in our expenditures consistent with the growth in our revenues, operations and personnel, and we anticipate that our expenditures will continue to increase as we expand our business.
We believe our cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and any cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. We expect continued increased expenses in connection with meeting our obligations as a public company.
Inflation and changing prices did not have a material effect on our business during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future.
In August 2017, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC. Under the shelf registration statement, we may offer and sell from time to time up to $200 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights or units. The shelf registration statement also registered for resale from time to time up to 5,703,534 shares of our common stock held by the selling stockholders named therein. In September 2017, certain of the selling stockholders completed a secondary offering of 3,795,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $33.00 per share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 1 - “Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation” of our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report for a description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that are applicable to our business.
JOBS Act
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined by the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption and, as a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that we can elect to opt out of the extended transition period at any time, which election is irrevocable.
24
Subject to certain conditions, as an emerging growth company, we are relying on certain of the exemptions and reduced reporting requirements of the JOBS Act, including without limitation, from providing an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and from complying with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (a) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (b) the last day of 2021; (c) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (d) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A “critical accounting policy” is one that is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and requires management’s most subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of items that are inherently uncertain. For additional information, please see the discussion of our significant accounting policies under “Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, primarily related to our investment activities. The principal objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, provide liquidity and maximize income consistent with minimizing risk of material loss. The recorded carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates in the United States, particularly since our investments are generally short-term in nature. Based on the nature of our short-term investments, an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio.
Inflation
Inflationary factors, such as increases in our cost of goods sold, sales and marketing expenses and reimbursement expenses, may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain and increase our gross margin, and on our sales and marketing and reimbursement expenses as a percentage of our revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase as much or more than these increased costs.
Credit Risk
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were maintained with two financial institutions in the United States. We have reviewed the financial statements of these institutions and believe they have sufficient assets and liquidity to conduct their operations in the ordinary course of business with little or no credit risk to us.
Our accounts receivable primarily relate to revenues from the sale of our products to patients in the United States. As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, our accounts receivable were $17.4 million and $14.7 million, respectively. We had accounts receivable from three insurance companies representing approximately 28%, 17% and 6% of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2017, and we had accounts receivable from three insurance companies representing approximately 23%, 12% and 6% of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2016.
25
Foreign Currency Risk
Our business is conducted in U.S. dollars and international transactions have been minimal. As we begin building relationships to commercialize our products internationally, our results of operations and cash flows may become increasingly subject to changes in foreign exchange rates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017. The term “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”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits 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 include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
26
From time to time, we may be subject to various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in that report. The following risk factors are added:
Healthcare reform measures could hinder or prevent the commercial success of our products and product candidates.
In the United States, there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory changes to the healthcare system that could affect our future revenues and profitability and the future revenues and profitability of our customers. Federal and state lawmakers regularly propose and, at times, enact legislation that results in significant changes to the healthcare system, some of which are intended to contain or reduce the costs of medical products and services. The new presidential administration and U.S. Congress have sought, and we expect that they will continue to seek, to modify, repeal, or otherwise invalidate all, or certain provisions of, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and Health Care Education Reconciliation Act (the “Affordable Care Act”). There is still uncertainty with respect to the impact that the current administration and legislative action may have, if any, and any changes will likely take time to unfold and could have an impact on coverage and reimbursement for healthcare items and services covered by plans that were authorized by the Affordable Care Act. Such uncertainty and any changes could negatively impact our ability to successfully commercialize our products or product candidates, and could result in reduced demand for our products and additional pricing pressures.
We may be adversely affected by natural disasters and other catastrophic events, and by man-made problems such as terrorism, that could disrupt our business operations.
Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, including causing delays in completing sales, continuing production or performing other critical functions of our business, which could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics, and other events beyond our control. In addition, acts of terrorism and other geo-political unrest could cause disruptions in our business or the businesses of our partners or the economy as a whole. In the event of a natural disaster, including a major earthquake, blizzard or hurricane, or a catastrophic event such as a fire, power loss, or telecommunications failure, we may be unable to continue our operations for a period of time in the affected area, which could have an adverse effect on our future operating results. For example, recent and impending hurricanes, such as Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma, may disrupt orders for our products and our ability to fulfill orders for a period of time.
We may be subject to liabilities related to state income, sales and use taxes, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and could decrease demand for our products.
State income tax and sales and use tax laws, statutes, rules and regulations vary greatly by jurisdiction and are complex and subject to uncertainty. We are in the process of reviewing the various requirements related to these types of taxes, but at this time we cannot predict the outcome of that review. If it is determined that certain of these tax rules apply to us, we could be required to pay substantial tax amounts, and significant penalties and interest for past amounts that may have been due, in addition to taxes going forward. These tax assessments, penalties and interest, and future requirements, may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the imposition of sales and use taxes on our products going forward would effectively increase the cost of our products to our customers and may adversely affect demand for our products.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
(a) |
Issuances of Preferred Stock |
None.
(b) |
Issuances of Common Stock |
None.
Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities
On August 2, 2016, we issued and sold 4,120,000 shares of our common stock in the initial public offering at a public offering price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $41.2 million. All of the shares issued and sold in the initial public offering were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-209115), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 27, 2016. The offering terminated on August 2, 2016.
The net offering proceeds to us, after deducting underwriting discounts of approximately $2.9 million and offering expenses paid by us totaling approximately $2.9 million, were approximately $35.4 million. No offering expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates) or persons owning 10.0% or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates. We also paid $8.2 million in cumulative accrued dividends to our Series A preferred stockholders from the issuance proceeds.
At September 30, 2017, the net proceeds from our initial public offering were held in a diversified portfolio of bank deposits, government money market funds, government securities (U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency securities), and high-grade short-term corporate bonds. All investments were in compliance with our Investment Policy and are highly liquid, with liquidity and capital preservation being the primary investment objectives. There has been no material change in our planned uses of the net proceeds from those described in the Prospectus dated July 27, 2016.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
