Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of Business and 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. We provide these products through our direct sales force for use in the home and sell or rent them through vascular, wound and lymphedema clinics throughout the United States.

On September 8, 2021, we acquired the assets of the AffloVest respiratory therapy business (“AffloVest Acquisition”) from International Biophysics Corporation (“IBC”), a privately-held company which developed and manufactures AffloVest. AffloVest is a portable, wearable vest that treats patients with chronic respiratory conditions. The device is sold through home medical equipment and durable medical equipment providers throughout the United States.

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 our reincorporation as a Delaware corporation. The resulting corporation assumed the name Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. In September 2013, we began doing business as “Tactile Medical”.

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.

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 revenue in the third and fourth quarters of the year when patients have met their annual insurance deductibles, thereby reducing their out-of-pocket costs for our products, and because patients desire to exhaust their flexible spending accounts at year end. This seasonality applies only to purchases and rentals of our products by patients covered by commercial insurance and is not relevant to Medicare, Medicaid or the Veterans Administration, as those payers either do not have plans that have declining deductibles over the course of the plan year and/or do not have plans that include patient deductibles for purchases or rentals of our products. Further, seasonality trends in 2021 may be significantly different than in prior years as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

The 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.

The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021, or for any other interim period or for any future year. 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, 2020.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Swelling Solutions, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Risks and Uncertainties

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The United States economy in general and our business specifically have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have seen adverse impacts as it relates to the decline in the number of patients that healthcare facilities and clinics are able to treat due to enhanced safety protocols, particularly during 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. While we saw some level of recovery in the second quarter of 2021, the third quarter was negatively impacted by the prolonged recovery from COVID-19 and increased Delta variant cases during the period, which resulted in restricted access to clinics and hospitals and disrupted the recovery in patient visits versus the pre-COVID environment. There are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last, whether any recovery will be sustained or will reverse course, the severity of any resurgence of COVID-19 or variant strains of the virus, the effectiveness of vaccines and attitudes towards receiving them, or what ultimate effects the pandemic will have. For that reason, we are unable to reasonably estimate the long-term impact of the pandemic on our business at this time. Since the onset of COVID-19, we have remained proactive to ensure we continue to adapt to the needs of our employees, clinicians and patients.

We cannot assure you that these changes to our processes and practices will be successful in mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on our business. We continue to evaluate and, if appropriate, will adopt other measures in the future related to the ongoing safety of our employees, clinicians and patients.

In addition, we are closely monitoring mandatory vaccination requirements and related evolving guidance that is or may be applicable to us, including in our capacity as a U.S. government contractor. See See Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q for additional information about vaccine mandates and potential risks related thereto.

Use of 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 to disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Comprehensive (loss) income reflects the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Our comprehensive (loss) income represents net (loss) income adjusted for unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities and the related taxes.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies

There were no material changes in our significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, except as set forth below. See Note 3 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for information regarding our significant accounting policies.

Business Segments

Table of Contents

We operate and report in only one operating and reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker does not use financial information below revenue to allocate resources.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. We plan to perform our annual assessment of goodwill for impairment as of July 1st of each fiscal year. See Note 7 – “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional information.

Revenue Recognition for AffloVest

The AffloVest device is sold through home medical equipment and durable medical equipment providers (collectively, "distributors"). Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the distributors, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods or providing services. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. When determining whether the distributor has obtained control of the goods or services, we consider any future performance obligations. Generally, there is no post-shipment obligation on products sold other than warranty obligations in the normal and ordinary course of business.

In general, revenue from the sale of the AffloVest product is recognized at shipment, unless circumstances dictate that control has not yet passed to the distributor.

Certain of our contracts include volume-based incentives which involve rebates that are negotiated at or prior to the time of sale with the customer and are redeemable only if the customer achieves a specified cumulative level of sales or sales increase. Under these incentive programs, at the time of sale, we determine the most likely amount of the rebate to be paid based on forecasted sales levels. These forecasts are updated at least quarterly for each customer, and the transaction price is reduced for the anticipated cost of the rebate. If the forecasted sales for a customer change, the accrual for rebates is adjusted to reflect the new rebates expected to be earned by the customer.

Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling activities after the customer obtains control are treated as a promised service performance obligation and recorded in revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Shipping and handling costs incurred for the delivery of goods to customers are considered a cost to fulfill the contract and are included in cost of revenue sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For a description of our revenue recognition policies related to our Flexitouch and Entre systems, see Note 3 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effect of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), addressing the discontinuation of LIBOR, a widely used reference rate for pricing financial products. The ASU is intended to provide optional expedients and exceptions if certain criteria are met when accounting for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR, or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The application and adoption requirements of ASU 2020-04 are optional until December 31, 2022 and vary based on expedients elected. We have not elected any expedients to date and are currently evaluating any potential future impacts on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. We adopted ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2021, and it did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses” (“ASU 2016-13”), which introduced a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of the current expected credit losses. The new current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model generally calls for the immediate recognition of all expected credit losses and applies to financial instruments and other assets, including accounts receivable and other financial assets measured at amortized cost, debt securities and other financial assets. This guidance replaced the previous incurred loss model for measuring expected credit losses and requires expected losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be recognized through an allowance for credit losses rather than as reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. We adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020, and it did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements at that time. In connection with the AffloVest Acquisition, it was determined CECL did not have a material financial impact on the receivables related to the durable medical equipment channel.

Note 4. Acquisitions

On September 8, 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“AffloVest APA”) to acquire the AffloVest therapy business from International Biophysics Corporation. Under the terms of the AffloVest APA, we agreed to pay IBC a total of up to $100.0 million for the purchase of substantially all of the assets related to its branded high frequency chest wall oscillation vest therapy business, other than specifically identified excluded assets. We acquired AffloVest to further expand our position as a leader in treating patients with underserved chronic conditions in the home. The acquired assets included inventory, tooling, intellectual property, permits and approvals, data and records, and customer and supplier information. At closing, $80.0 million of the purchase price was paid, of which a total of $0.5 million was deposited into an escrow account at closing for purposes of satisfying certain post-closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification claims. Subsequent to closing, $0.2 milion was returned to us as a result of working capital adjustments. The AffloVest acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from borrowings.

Two earn-out payments of up to $10.0 million each are potentially due to IBC under the AffloVest APA depending on the achievement of specified revenue targets, as follows:

●

Initial Earn-Out: Equal to 1.5 times the amount by which the AffloVest business’ U.S. revenues in the period from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022 (the “Initial Earn-Out Period”) exceed a specified amount; provided that in no event will the payment exceed $10.0 million; and

●

Second Earn-Out: Equal to 1.5 times the amount by which the AffloVest business’ U.S. revenues in the period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023 exceed the revenues recognized during the Initial Earn-Out Period; provided that in no event will the payment exceed $10.0 million.

This liability was recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2021 in the line item Earn-out, non-current, at an acquisition-date fair value of $6.4 million. The fair value of the earn-out, reflecting management’s estimate of the likelihood of achieving these targets, was determined by employing a Monte Carlo Simulation model. This amount will be re-measured at the end of each reporting period until the payment requirement ends, with any adjustments reported in income from operations.

Table of Contents

On the date of AffloVest Acquisition, we allocated the assets acquired based on an estimate of their fair values. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation:


(In millions)	Allocated Fair Value
Inventories	$	1.6
Property and equipment⁽¹⁾		—
Intangible assets		53.5
Goodwill		31.1
Purchase price	$	86.2

(1)	The purchase price included less than $0.1 million of property and equipment.

The goodwill reflects expected synergies of combining the acquired products and customer information with our existing operations, and is deductible for tax purposes over 15 years.

The following table reflects the allocation of purchase price to the acquired intangible assets and related estimated useful lives:



(In millions)	Allocated Fair Value		Estimated Useful Life
Customer relationships	$	31.0	13 years
Developed technology		13.0	11 years
Tradenames		9.5	Indefinite
Total intangible assets	$	53.5

The weighted-average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets was 12.3 years.

The fair market valuations associated with the assets acquired fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, due to the use of significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value. The fair value measurements were calculated using unobservable inputs, primarily using the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method. The amount and timing of future cash flows within our analysis was based on our due diligence models, most recent operational budgets, long-range strategic plans and other estimates.

Transaction costs, such as legal and other costs, related to the acquisition aggregated approximately $0.8 million. These costs have been expensed as incurred and are included in reimbursement, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect the AffloVest operations beginning September 9, 2021. The following unaudited pro forma information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 presents the revenues and net income assuming the acquisition of AffloVest had occurred as of January 1, 2020. This information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and is not indicative of what actual results would have been if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2020, or of future results.


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,

Net income (loss)	$	628	$	(309)	$	1,369	$	1,770

These pro forma results include certain adjustments, primarly due to increases in amortization expense due to fair value adjustments of intangible assets, increases in interest expense due to additional borrowings incurred to finance the acquisition and amortization of debt issuance costs incurred to finance the transaction, acquisition related costs including transaction costs such as legal, accounting, valuation and other professional services, and related tax effects.

Note 10. Credit Agreement

On August 3, 2018, we entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, which was amended by a First Amendment dated February 12, 2019, a Waiver and Second Amendment dated March 25, 2019, and a Third Amendment dated August 2, 2019 (collectively, the “2018 Credit Agreement”). On April 30, 2021, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent. The Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated in its entirety the 2018 Credit Agreement.

On September 8, 2021, we entered into a First Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amends the Restated Credit Agreement (as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Amendment, among other things, adds a $30.0 million incremental term loan to the $25.0 million revolving credit facility provided by the Restated Credit Agreement. The term loan is reflected on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a note payable. The term loan and the revolving credit facility mature on September 8, 2024. The Credit Agreement provides that, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, we may increase the amount of the revolving loans available under the Credit Agreement and/or add one or more term loan facilities in an amount not to exceed $25.0 million in the aggregate, such that the total aggregate principal amount of loans available under the Credit Agreement (including under the revolving credit facility) does not exceed $80.0 million.

On September 8, 2021, in connection with the closing of the AffloVest Acquisition, we borrowed the $30.0 million term loan and utilized that borrowing, together with a draw of $25.0 million under the revolving credit facility and cash on hand, to fund the purchase price.

The principal of the term loan is required to be repaid in quarterly installments of $750,000 commencing January 7, 2022, through July 8, 2024, with the remaining outstanding balance due on September 8, 2024.

The term loan and amounts drawn under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to (a) the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) LIBOR for an interest period of one month plus 1% (the “Base Rate”) plus an applicable margin or (b) LIBOR for an interest period of one, three or six months, at our option, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin is 0.75% to 2.25% on loans bearing interest at the Base Rate and 1.75% to 3.25% on loans bearing interest at LIBOR, in each case depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio. At September 30, 2021, all outstanding borrowings were subject to interest at a rate calculated at LIBOR plus an applicable margin equaling 2.8%. Undrawn portions of the revolving credit facility are subject to an unused line fee at a rate per annum from 0.300% to 0.375%, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio.

Table of Contents

Maturities of the term loan for the next three years as of September 30, 2021, are as follows:


(In thousands)	Amount
2021 (October 1 - December 31)	$	—
2022		3,000
2023		3,000
2024		24,000
Total	$	30,000

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and are also guaranteed by our subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains a number of restrictions and covenants, including that we maintain compliance with a maximum leverage ratio, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum consolidated EBITDA covenant. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Obligations

We lease property and equipment under operating leases, typically with terms greater than 12 months, and determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. In general, an arrangement contains a lease if there is an identified asset and we have the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the identified asset. We record an operating lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term on the commencement date. The related right of use (“ROU”) operating lease asset reflects rental escalation clauses, as well as renewal options and/or termination options. The exercise of lease renewal and/or termination options are at our discretion and are included in the determination of the lease term and lease payment obligations when it is deemed reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, certain leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.

We classify our leases as buildings, vehicles or computer and office equipment and do not separate lease and nonlease components of contracts for any of the aforementioned classifications. In accordance with applicable guidance, we do not record leases with terms that are less than one year on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

None of our lease agreements contain material restrictive covenants or residual value guarantees.

Buildings

We lease certain office and warehouse space at various locations in the United States where we provide services. These leases are typically greater than one year with fixed, escalating rents over the noncancelable terms and, therefore, ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, with rent expense to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The remaining lease terms vary from approximately one to nine years as of September 30, 2021.

We entered into a lease (“initial lease”) in October 2018, for approximately 80,000 square feet of office space for our new corporate headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In December 2018, we amended the initial lease to add approximately 29,000 square feet of additional office space, which is accounted for as a separate lease (“second lease”) in accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”). In December 2019, we further amended the lease which extended the expiration date of the initial lease, extended the expiration date of and added approximately 4,000 square feet to the second lease, as well as added approximately 37,000 square feet of additional office space, accounted for as a separate lease (“third lease”) in accordance with ASC 842. The portion of the space covered under the initial lease was placed in service in September 2019. This portion was recognized as an operating lease and included in the ROU operating lease

Table of Contents

assets and operating lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The portion of the space covered under the second lease commenced in September 2020. Finally, the portion of the space covered under the third lease commenced in September 2021.

Vehicles

We lease vehicles for certain members of our field sales organization under a vehicle fleet program whereby the initial, noncancelable lease is for a term of 367 days, thus more than one year. Subsequent to the initial term, the lease becomes a month-to-month, cancelable lease. As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately 45 vehicles with agreements within the initial, noncancelable lease term that are recorded as ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities. In addition to monthly rental fees specific to the vehicle, there are fixed monthly nonlease components that have been included in the ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities. The nonlease components are not significant.

Computer and Office Equipment

We also have operating lease agreements for certain computer and office equipment. The remaining lease terms as of September 30, 2021, ranged from less than one year to approximately four years with fixed monthly payments that are included in the ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities. The leases provide an option to purchase the related equipment at fair market value at the end of the lease. The leases will automatically renew as a month-to-month rental at the end of the lease if the equipment is not purchased or returned.

As of September 30, 2021, we have additional lease commitments of $0.8 million related to amendments to existing building leases that have not yet commenced. As the lessee we are involved in providing guidance to the lessor for related improvements, however these improvements are managed and owned by the lessor.

Operating lease costs were $0.9 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Operating lease costs were $2.6 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Major Vendors

We had purchases from two vendors that accounted for 36% of our total purchases for the three months ended September 30, 2021. We had purchases from one vendor that accounted for 24% of our total purchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We had purchases from two vendors that accounted for 31% and 33% of our total purchases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Purchase Commitments

We issued purchase orders prior to September 30, 2021, totaling $28.4 million for goods that we expect to receive within the next year.

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 recorded an expense related to our discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan of $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $0.9 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are subject to various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of 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.

On February 13, 2019, we were served with a sealed amended complaint venued in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, captioned United States ex rel Veterans First Medical Supply, LLC vs. Tactile Medical Systems Technology, Inc., Case No. 18-2871, which had been filed on January 23, 2019. The complaint is a qui tam action on behalf of the United States brought by one of our competitors. The United States has declined to intervene in this action. The complaint alleges that we violated

Table of Contents

the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute and the Federal False Claims Act, claiming that we submitted false claims and made false statements in connection with the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and that we engaged in unlawful retaliation in violation of the Federal False Claims Act. The complaint seeks damages, statutory penalties, attorneys’ fees, treble damages and costs. We filed a motion to dismiss on April 5, 2019. This motion was denied on February 21, 2020. On March 6, 2020, we filed our answer to the complaint and asserted counterclaims. On May 7, 2020, the plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss our counterclaims. On September 8, 2020, we filed a motion for Partial Summary Judgment. On January 2, 2021, the plaintiff filed a motion for Partial Summary Judgment. These motions were decided on March 29, 2021, wherein the court denied plaintiff’s motion to dismiss our counterclaims; granted our motion for Partial Summary Judgment and dismissed Counts I (standalone/direct violation of the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute) and III (violation of the retaliation provision of the Federal False Claims Act) of the complaint; and denied plaintiff’s motion for Partial Summary Judgment. As a result, the remaining allegations consist of those in Count II (violations of the Federal False Claims Act) of the complaint. On August 13, 2021, we filed a motion for summary judgement on the remaining Count II. Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgement on the counterclaims. These motions are currently pending. We believe the plaintiff’s remaining allegations are without merit and we intend to continue to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.

We and certain of our present or former officers were sued in a purported securities class action lawsuit that was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on September 29, 2020, and that is pending under the caption Brian Mart v. Tactile Systems Technology, Inc., et al., File No. 0:20-cv-02074-NEB-BRT. On April 19, 2021, the plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint against us and eight of our present and former officers and directors. Plaintiff seeks to represent a class consisting of investors who purchased our common stock in the market during the time period from May 7, 2018 through June 8, 2020 (“alleged class period”). The Amended Complaint alleges the following claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): (1) that we and certain officer defendants made materially false or misleading public statements about our business, operational and compliance policies, and results during the alleged class period in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act; (2) that we and the individual defendants engaged in a scheme to defraud investors in order to allow the individual defendants to sell our stock in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act; (3) that the individual defendants engaged in improper insider trading of our stock in violation of Section 20A of the Exchange Act; and (4) that we and the individual defendants are liable under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act because each defendant is a controlling person. On June 18, 2021, we and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. The motion has not been decided yet.

Note 12. Stockholders' Equity

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 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, expired, cancelled, settled for cash or otherwise not issued, will become available for issuance under the 2016 Plan. Pursuant to the automatic increase feature of the 2016 Plan, 972,591 and 952,697 shares were added as available for issuance thereunder on January 1, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, 6,366,806 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.

In the second fiscal quarter of 2020, our Board of Directors appointed a new President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), effective June 8, 2020. In conjunction with the acceptance of the written offer, our CEO received both restricted stock units and stock option awards under our 2016 Plan during the third fiscal quarter of 2020 and the stock options have a seven year term. A portion of the awards vested on June 30, 2021, with the remaining portion of the awards vesting over a period of three years from the date of grant. Further, the stock options were valued at the date of grant using the Monte Carlo Simulation model due to a market condition that required that our stock price exceed $40.15 for 20 consecutive trading days during the term of the option in order to vest. This condition was satisfied in the first quarter of 2021.

We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $2.6 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $7.7 million and $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This expense was allocated as follows:

Stock Options

Stock options issued to participants other than non-employees typically vest over three or four years and typically have a contractual term of seven or ten years. Stock-based compensation expense included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for stock options was $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $3.3 million and $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. At September 30, 2021, there was approximately $6.4 million of total unrecognized pre-tax stock option expense under our equity compensation plans, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Our stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was as follows:

Time-Based Restricted Stock Units

We have granted time-based restricted stock units to certain participants under the 2016 Plan that are stock-settled with common shares. Time-based restricted stock units granted under the 2016 Plan vest over one to three years. Stock-based compensation expense included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for time-based restricted stock units was $1.2 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $3.7 million and $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. At September 30, 2021, there was approximately $6.6 million of total unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to outstanding time-based restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Our time-based restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was as follows:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were no restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors in lieu of their quarterly cash retainer payments. As of September 30, 2021, there were 6,469 outstanding restricted stock units that had been previously granted to non-employee directors in lieu of their quarterly cash retainer payments.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

We have granted performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to certain participants under the 2016 Plan. These PSUs have both performance-based and time-based vesting features. The PSUs granted in 2018 were earned to the extent performance goals based on revenue and adjusted EBITDA were achieved in 2019. The PSUs granted in 2019 would have been earned to the extent performance goals based on revenue and adjusted EBITDA were achieved in 2020, but none were so earned. The PSUs granted in 2020 will be earned if and to the extent performance goals based on revenue and adjusted EBITDA are achieved in 2021. The PSUs granted in 2021 will be earned if and to the extent performance goals based on revenue and adjusted EBITDA are achieved in 2022. The number of PSUs earned will depend on the level at which the performance targets are achieved and can range from 50% of target if the minimum performance threshold is achieved and up to 150% of target if maximum performance is achieved. One-third of the earned PSUs will vest on the date the Compensation and Organization Committee certifies the number of PSUs earned, and the remaining two-thirds of the earned PSUs will vest on the first anniversary of that certification date. All earned and vested PSUs will be settled in shares of common stock.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for PSUs was an expense of $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and less than $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflected a $0.5 million benefit due to a change in the estimated payout associated with PSUs granted in 2020 being below the minimum performance target threshold level, as defined, partially offset by an expense of $0.5 million related to the PSUs granted in 2018 and 2021. At September 30, 2021, there was approximately $1.5 million of total unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to outstanding PSUs that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

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 ESPP 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 ESPP provides for six-month purchase periods, beginning on May 16 and November 16 of each calendar year.

A total of 1,600,000 shares of common stock was initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP. 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 (a) 1% of the shares of our common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, (b) 500,000 shares or (c) such lesser amount as our Board of Directors may determine. Pursuant to the automatic increase feature of the ESPP, 194,518 and 190,539 shares were added as available for issuance thereunder on January 1, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, 1,740,328 shares were available for future issuance under the ESPP. We recognized stock-based compensation expense associated with the ESPP of $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Our rental revenue is derived from rent-to-purchase arrangements that typically range from three to ten months. As title transfers to the patient, with whom we have the contract, upon the termination of the lease term and because collectability is probable, under ASC 842, these are recognized as sales-type leases. Each rental agreement contains two components, the controller and related garments, both of which are interdependent and recognized as one lease component.

The revenue and associated cost of revenue of sales-type leases are recognized on the lease commencement date and a net investment in leases is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We bill the patients’ insurance payers monthly over the duration of the rental term. We record the net investment in leases and recognize revenue upon commencement of the lease in the amount of the expected consideration to be received through the monthly payments. Similar to our sales revenue, the transaction price is impacted by multiple factors, including the terms and conditions contracted by third party payers. As the rental contract resides with the patients, we have elected the portfolio approach, at the payer level, to determine the expected consideration, which considers the impact of early terminations. While the contract is with the patient, in certain circumstances, the third party payer elects an initial rental period with an option to extend. We assess the likelihood of extending the lease at the onset of the lease to determine if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. As the lease is short-term in nature, we anticipate collection of substantially all of the net investment within the first year of the lease agreement. Completion of these payments represents the fair market value of the equipment, and as such, interest income is not applicable.

Table of Contents

Rental revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, was primarily from private insurers. Sales-type lease revenue and the associated cost of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, was:

Note 14. 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 adjusting 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, and deductions related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and inventory reserves. Our provision 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 three months ended September 30, 2021, was an expense of 126%, compared to a benefit of 55% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The primary driver of the change in our effective tax rate is primarily attributable to a change in projected taxable income. We recorded an income tax expense of $1.9 million and a benefit of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was a benefit of 24%, compared to an expense of 17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The primary driver of the change in our effective tax rate is attributable to recording a benefit in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, to recognize a tax credit for a research and development credit study conducted for tax years 2017-2020 as well as a change in deductibility of business meals to 100% in 2021 compared to 50% in 2020. We recorded an income tax benefit of $1.4 million and an expense of $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority is more-likely-than-not to 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, 2021, tax contingencies related to federal and state credits recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were $0.5 million. Changes in tax laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles, and interpretations may impact our tax contingencies. The timing of the resolution of income tax controversies is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued.

We are currently under examination by the New York Department of Taxation and Finance for tax years 2017, 2018, and 2019. The examination may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes or our net operating losses with respect to years under examination as well as subsequent periods. 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 16. 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). As of September 30, 2021, we no longer had any money market mutal funds.

The following provides information regarding fair value measurements for our cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020, according to the three-level fair value hierarchy:


	At December 31, 2020
	Quoted Prices
	in Active		Significant
	Markets for		Other		Significant
	Identical		Observable		Unobservable
	Assets		Inputs		Inputs

Recurring Fair Value Measurements:
Money market mutual funds	$	16,188	$	—	$	—	$	16,188
Total	$	16,188	$	—	$	—	$	16,188

Table of Contents

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, 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 value of our money market mutual funds is 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. As of June 30, 2020, we re-measured the value of our intangible assets related to the Airwear wrap product line to their fair value, which was deemed to be $0.

We have obligations to pay up to $20.0 million in earn-out payments in cash if certain future financial results of the AffloVest business are met. The earn-out liability was valued using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the earn-out was determined by employing a Monte Carlo Simulation model in a risk-neutral framework. The underlying simulated variable includes recognized revenue. The recognized revenue volatility estimate was based on a study of historical asset volatility for a set of comparable public companies. The model includes other assumptions including the market price of risk, which was calculated as the weighted average cost of capital less the long-term risk free rate.

Overview

We are a medical technology company that develops and provides innovative medical devices for the treatment of underserved 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 areas of therapeutic focus are (1) vascular disease, with a goal of advancing the standard of care in treating lymphedema and chronic venous insufficiency, (2) oncology, where lymphedema is a common consequence among survivors and (3) providing airway clearance therapy for those suffering from chronic respiratory conditions. 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 people with these chronic diseases.

Our current products are the Flexitouch system, Entre system and AffloVest. 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. In December 2020, we received 510(k) clearance for two new indications for our Flexitouch Plus system: phlebolymphedema and lipedema. We derive the vast majority of our revenue from our Flexitouch system. Sales and rentals of our Flexitouch system represented 86% and 88% of our revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We introduced our Entre system in the United States in February 2013. The Entre system is sold or rented to patients who need a simple 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, 2021 and 2020, sales and rentals of our Entre system represented 13% and 12% of our revenue, respectively.

On September 8, 2021, we acquired the assets of the AffloVest respiratory therapy product line from International Biophysics Corporation (“IBC”), a privately-held company which developed and manufactures AffloVest. AffloVest is a portable, wearable vest that treats patients with chronic respiratory conditions such as COPD-associated breathing conditions like bronchiectasis, or conditions resulting from neuromuscular disorders and cystic fibrosis, by managing airway clearance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, sales of our AffloVest represented 1% our revenue.

In October 2018, we licensed, from Sun Scientific, Inc., the intellectual property rights related to the Airwear Gradient Compression Wrap, or the Airwear wrap, in the United States and Canada, for use in all medical applications, including but not limited to swelling/edema and ulcers (including lymphedema and chronic venous insufficiency conditions), but excluding the use of the intellectual property in the field of prophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis. In the second quarter of 2020, we reevaluated the Airwear wrap go-to market plan, and determined to focus our strategy on more advanced solutions within our core, long-standing Flexitouch and Entre franchises. Accordingly, we made the strategic decision to discontinue the Airwear wrap in the second quarter of 2020. Due to the planned discontinuation of the product line, we recorded a $4.0 million non-cash impairment charge to fully write-off the inventory and long-lived assets of the Airwear wrap in the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Further, effective July 31, 2020, Sun Scientific, Inc. terminated the license agreement with us related to the Airwear wrap. See Note 8 - “Intangible Assets” to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for more information regarding this impairment charge and discontinuation.

To support the growth of our business, we invest heavily in our commercial infrastructure, consisting of our direct sales force, training resources, reimbursement capabilities and clinical expertise. We market our Flexitouch and Entre products in the United States using a direct-to-patient and -provider model. Our field commercial team consists of our direct sales force and a team of Field Support Specialists. The AffloVest device is sold through home medical equipment and durable medical equipment providers throughout the United

Table of Contents

States. In the quarter ended September 30, 2021, our direct sales force experienced increased turnover and difficulty in recruiting qualified replacements. As a result, we had fewer direct sales representatives on September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020. We believe this to be a temporary condition. Our collective field commercial team, including our respiratory sales force, has grown to over 335 employees as of September 30, 2021, compared to 285 employees as of December 31, 2020.

As it relates to the impact of COVID-19 on our commercial processes, in the first half of 2021, we continued to see restrictions loosen, in line with the applicable governmental regulations. Conversely, in the third quarter of 2021, we were adversely impacted by the resurgence of the Delta variant resulting in renewed patient cancellations, absenteeism of staff and access limitations implemented by clinics and health systems. As a result, we continue to engage in virtual interactions if possible. We expect these virtual interactions with clinicians and patients to continue into the future until the pandemic subsides, and perhaps as a best practice in the future. To that end, we plan to continue to work towards expanding our commercial organization through the remainder of 2021 and into 2022 by adding to our overall commercial team.

We invest substantial resources in our reimbursement function to improve operational efficiencies and enhance individual payer expertise, while continuing our strategic focus of payer development. Our payer relations function focuses on payer policy development, education, contract negotiations, and data analysis. Our reimbursement operations function is responsible for verifying patient insurance benefits, individual patient case development, prior authorization submissions, case follow-up, and appeals when necessary. Since the onset of COVID-19, our reimbursement function has been actively working with Medicare and a broad base of private payers to understand the ever-changing reimbursement criteria being introduced. We have seen increased flexibility in coverage criteria with select payers in which they now allow the use of virtual patient interactions in place of the previously required in-person interactions. However, as these circumstances are ever-changing, the extent to which these changes will remain in place and the impact on our business in the future are not determinable at this time.

We also have a clinical team, consisting of a scientific advisory board, in-house therapists and nurses, and a Chief Medical Officer (part-time), that serves as a resource to clinicians and patients and guides the development of clinical evidence in support of our products. Most clinical studies require observation and interaction with clinicians and patients to monitor results and progress. Given the impact of COVID-19, patient recruitment for our clinical studies involving our products and clinical outcomes had previously been suspended in 2020. In 2021, all of our clinical trials have resumed research activities, including study visits and new patient enrollments, albeit more slowly than the targeted enrollment rates.

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. The AffloVest device is currently manufactured and shipped by a third party, IBC, pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement. We plan for IBC to continue to manufacture the product on our behalf through the first half of 2022 and we will begin to take over the shipping of products in the fourth quarter of 2021.

To date, our supply chain has not been materially impacted by COVID-19. We continue to receive our product on time and believe that we have enough safety stock to meet our short and mid-term demand. However, we cannot assure you that our supply chain will not be materially impacted in the future.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we generated revenue of $52.5 million and had a net loss of $3.4 million, compared to revenue of $49.1 million and net income of $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we generated revenue of $146.3 million and had a net loss of $4.3 million, compared to revenue of $127.9 million and a net loss of $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our primary sources of capital since inception 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.

Revenue

Revenue increased $3.4 million, or 7%, to $52.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $49.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in total revenue was attributable to an increase of $1.1 million, or 3%, in sales and rentals of the Flexitouch system, an increase of $1.4 million, or 23%, in sales and rentals of the Entre system and $0.9 million in sales of the recently acquired AffloVest in the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Third quarter 2021 revenue benefited from effective virtual education events and an increase in Medicare patients served. Third quarter 2021 revenue was negatively impacted by the prolonged recovery from COVID-19, including the resurgence due to the Delta variant during the period, which resulted in restricted access to clinics and hospitals and disrupted the recovery in patient visits versus the pre-COVID environment. In addition, the challenging labor market impacted our ability to recruit and retain quality candidates for our direct sales force.

Revenue increased $18.4 million, or 14%, to $146.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $127.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $13.9 million, or 12%, in sales and rentals of our Flexitouch system, an increase of $3.7 million, or 24%, in sales and rentals of the Entre system and $0.9 million in sales of the recently acquired AffloVest for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Revenue for the first half of 2021 benefited from the initial stages of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, with a portion of healthcare facilities and clinics relaxing restrictions and increasing patient throughput, as well as an expanded prescriber base. However, in the third quarter of 2021 revenue was negatively impacted by the prolonged recovery from COVID-19, including the resurgence due to the Delta variant during the period, which resulted in restricted access to clinics and hospitals and disrupted the recovery in patient visits versus the pre-COVID environment. In addition, the challenging labor market impacted our ability to recruit and retain quality candidates for our direct sales force.

Revenue from the Veterans Administration represented 13% and 14% of total revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue from the Veterans Administration represented 14% of total revenue in each of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Revenue from Medicare represented 17% and 16% of total revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue from Medicare represented 18% and 15% of total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin

Cost of revenue increased $1.4 million, or 10%, to $15.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $14.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Cost of revenue increased $6.0 million, or 16%, to $42.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $36.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in cost of revenue in both periods was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of Flexitouch and Entre systems sold and rented, the additional contribution of AffloVest, and an increase in inbound freight costs.

The total gross margin rate was 70% and 71% of sales in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 71% of sales in each of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased $2.7 million, or 14%, to $22.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $19.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a:

●

$1.3 million increase in personnel-related compensation expense as a result of the increased headcount in the collective field commercial team, including sales personnel associated with the AffloVest acquisition; and

●

$1.4 million increase in other selling expenses, driven mostly by increased meetings, travel and entertainment expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $2.1 million, or 3%, to $61.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $59.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a:

Table of Contents

●

$3.3 million increase in personnel-related compensation expense as a result of the increased headcount in the collective field commercial team;

●

$1.1 million increase in travel and entertainment expense due to eased restrictions on travel; and

●

$0.4 million increase in demo equipment expense.

These increases were partially offset by a:

●

$2.0 million decrease in expenses due to reduced sales meetings, tradeshows and professional services; and

●

$0.7 million decrease in external patient training expense.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses increased $0.3 million, or 28%, to $1.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020, which was primarily attributable to an increase in professional services.

R&D expenses were $3.9 million in each of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Reimbursement, General and Administrative Expenses

Reimbursement, general and administrative expenses increased $2.0 million, or 16%, to $14.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $12.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to a:

●

$1.0 million increase in occupancy costs, depreciation expense, legal and professional fees;

●

$0.8 million increase in transaction-related costs related to the acquisition of AffloVest; and

●

$0.3 million increase in personnel-related compensation expense as a result of increased headcount in our reimbursement operations, payer relations and corporate functions.

Reimbursement, general and administrative expenses increased $5.1 million, or 14%, to $42.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $37.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a:

●

$4.5 million increase in occupancy costs, depreciation expense, legal and professional fees;

●

$3.6 million increase in personnel-related compensation expense as a result of increased headcount in our reimbursement operations, payer relations and corporate functions;

●

$0.8 million increase in transaction-related costs related to the acquisition of AffloVest; partially offset by a

●

$3.6 million impairment charge related to the write-off of our Airwear wrap-related long-lived assets recorded in the second quarter of 2020.

Intangible Asset Amortization

Intangible asset amortization expense increased $0.1 million to $0.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020, which was primarily attributable to the amortization recognized related to the assets recorded as a result of the acquisition of AffloVest.

Intangible asset amortization expenses increased $0.1 million to $0.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $0.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020, which was primarily attributable to the amortization recognized related to the assets recorded as a result of the acquisition of AffloVest.

Table of Contents

Other (Expense) Income, Net

Other (expense) income, net was an expense of $0.1 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and was an expense of $0.2 million and income of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Other (expense) income was primarily impacted by interest income realized on marketable securities, the gain and loss on cost method investments and an increase in interest expense recognized in the third quarter of 2021.

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax expense of $1.9 million and an income tax benefit of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to a change in our effective tax rate, which was attributable to a change in projected taxable income.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $1.4 million and an income tax expense of $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The primary driver of the change was a tax benefit related to a research and development credit recognized in the second quarter of 2021 as well as 100% deductibility of business meals in 2021 as compared to 50% deductibility in 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Credit Agreement

On September 8, 2021, we entered into a First Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amends the Restated Credit Agreement (as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Amendment, among other things, adds a $30.0 million incremental term loan to the $25.0 million revolving credit facility provided by the Restated Credit Agreement. The term loan and the revolving credit facility mature on September 8, 2024. The Credit Agreement provides that, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, we may increase the amount of the revolving loans available under the Credit Agreement and/or add one or more term loan facilities in an amount not to exceed $25.0 million in the aggregate, such that the total aggregate principal amount of loans available under the Credit Agreement (including under the revolving credit facility) does not exceed $80.0 million.

Table of Contents

On September 8, 2021, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of the AffloVest business, we borrowed the $30.0 million term loan and utilized that borrowing, together with a draw of $25.0 million under the revolving credit facility and cash on hand, to fund the purchase price. The principal of the term loan is required to be repaid in quarterly installments of $750,000 commencing January 7, 2022, through July 8, 2024, with the remaining outstanding balance due on September 8, 2024.

As of September 30, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings of $55.0 million under the Credit Agreement, comprised of $30.0 million under the term loan and $25.0 million under the revolving credit facility.

For additional information regarding the Credit Agreement, including interest rates, fees and maturities, see Note 10 – “Credit Agreement” of the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report.

Adequacy of Capital Resources

Our future capital requirements may vary significantly from those now planned and will depend on many factors, including:

●

the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business;

●

sales and marketing resources needed to further penetrate our market;

●

increased inflation-related costs associated with labor and/or suppliers;

●

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 or licenses, if any.

Historically, we have experienced increases in our expenditures consistent with the growth in our revenue, operations and personnel, and we anticipate that our expenditures will continue to increase as we expand our business.

Although the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to predict, we believe our cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operations together with availability under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act

On March 27, 2020 the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act is a tax-and-spending package intended to provide economic relief to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes several tax provisions that, among other things, allow businesses to carry back net operating losses (“NOLs”) arising in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to the prior five tax years. In the third quarter of 2020, we collected $2.9 million related to the carry back of our NOLs arising from these prior tax years.

In addition, the CARES Act provided $100 billion in relief funds to hospitals and other healthcare providers on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. An initial $30 billion of the funds were released for immediate infusion and were distributed to all facilities and providers that received Medicare fee-for-service (“FFS”) reimbursements in 2019. On April 10, 2020, we received $1.2 million of the initial allotment to all facilities and providers which was determined to be our proportionate share. Within 45 days of each reporting period end, we are required to comply with reporting requirements confirming funds were utilized in a manner

described within the terms and conditions outlined by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. As of December 31, 2020, we recognized all of the funds received in the initial allotment as other income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 3 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report for a description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that are applicable to our business.

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, 2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For a discussion on our market risks, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes since December 31, 2020.

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, 2021. 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, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Information pertaining to certain legal proceedings in which we are involved can be found in Note 11 – “Commitments and Contingencies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk 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, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in that report, except as set forth below.

The following risk factor is added:

The U.S. government’s pending rules and regulations concerning mandatory COVID-19 vaccination could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On September 9, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order requiring all employers with U.S. government contracts to ensure that their U.S.-based employees, contractors and subcontractors, that work on or in support of U.S. government contracts, are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by a specified deadline, which is being extended to January 4, 2022. The executive order includes on-site and remote U.S.-based employees, contractors and subcontractors and provides for limited medical and religious exceptions. As a government contractor, we are taking steps to analyze and implement required actions, including as provided in guidance related to the executive order that was recently issued by the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force, as well as any and all other guidance that is issued.

In addition, on September 9, 2021, President Biden announced that he has directed the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) to develop an Emergency Temporary Standard (“ETS”) mandating either the full vaccination against COVID-19 or weekly testing of employees for employers with 100 or more employees. On November 4, 2021, OSHA issued the ETS and we are currently reviewing its provisions and potential impacts on us.

Further, our suppliers may be subject to, or voluntarily impose, vaccine mandates, which could result in disruptions in our business and supply chain.

It is currently not possible to predict with certainty the impact the executive order, the OSHA ETS, and other vaccine mandates will have on our workforce. Additional vaccine mandates may be announced in jurisdictions in which we operate or by healthcare facilities and clinics. Our implementation of any of these or other requirements may result in employee attrition, including attrition of critically skilled workforce, and difficulty securing future workforce needs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
