Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Teladoc, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Texas in June 2002 and changed its state of incorporation to the State of Delaware in October 2008. Effective August 10, 2018, Teladoc, Inc. changed its corporate name to Teladoc Health, Inc. Unless the context otherwise requires, Teladoc Health, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is referred to herein as “Teladoc Health” or the “Company”. The Company’s principal executive office is located in Purchase, New York. Teladoc Health is the global leader in providing virtual healthcare services with a focus on high quality, lower costs, and improved outcomes around the world.
On January 12, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire InTouch Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise telehealth solutions for hospitals and health systems. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2020. Under the terms of the agreement, the purchase price of $600.0 million will consist of approximately $150.0 million in cash as well as $450.0 million of Teladoc Health’s common stock which is subject to adjustment based on the average of the Company’s stock price for the full trading days prior to the completion of the acquisition.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company at the dates and for the periods indicated. The interim results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full 2020 calendar year or any other future interim periods. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the results of Teladoc Health, its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as two professional associations, fourteen professional corporations and a corporation (the “Association”).
Teladoc Physicians, P.A. became Teladoc Health Medical Group, P.A. on January 1, 2020. Teladoc Health Medical Group, P.A. is party to several services agreements by and among it and the professional corporations pursuant to which each professional corporation provides services to Teladoc Health Medical Group, P.A. Each professional corporation is established pursuant to the requirements of its respective domestic jurisdiction governing the corporate practice of medicine.
The Company holds a variable interest in the Association which contracts with physicians and other health professionals in order to provide services to Teladoc Health. The Association is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) since it does not have sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. An enterprise having a controlling financial interest in a VIE, must consolidate the VIE if it has both power and benefits—that is, it has (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (power) and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits). The Company has the power and rights to control all activities of the Association and funds and absorbs all losses of the VIE.
Total revenue and net (loss) income for the VIE were $42.5 million and $(0.1) million, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and $21.1 million and $(0.1) million, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The VIE’s total assets were $22.8 million and $13.6 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Total liabilities for the VIE were $60.4 million and $51.3 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The VIE’s total stockholders’ deficit was $37.8 million and $37.7 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The functional currency for each of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. All assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet
7
date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period. Cumulative translation gains or losses are included in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
The Company operates in a
reportable segment – health services. Revenue earned by foreign operations outside of the United States were $29.4 million and $25.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Long-lived assets from foreign operations both totaled $2.2 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-12 Simplification of Income Taxes (Topic 740) Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are early adopting ASU 2019-12 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures effective January 1, 2020, with no material impact to the financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Goodwill Simplifications (Topic 350). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the test for goodwill impairment. The new guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test as currently prescribed in the U.S. generally accepted accounting principle. This ASU is the result of the FASB project focused on simplifications to accounting for goodwill. The new guidance was effective for the first quarter of 2020 and was adopted in the quarter-ended December 31, 2019.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model to estimate its lifetime "expected credit loss" and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is expected to result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016- 13 is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 13, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard will apply as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The guidance was effective for the first quarter of 2020 and was adopted in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, with no material impact to the financial statements.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies described in the 2019 Form 10-K that have had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related notes. The Company has not experienced any significant impact to it’s estimates and assumptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. On an ongoing basis, the Company will continue to closely monitor for any changes to the related impacts, especially on the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Note 3. Revenue
The Company generates virtual healthcare service revenue from contracts with clients who purchase access to the Company’s professional provider network or medical experts for their employees, dependents and other beneficiaries. The Company’s client contracts include a per-member-per-month subscription access fee as well as certain contracts that generate additional revenue on a per-telehealth visit basis for general medical, other specialty visits and expert medical service on a per case basis. The Company also has certain contracts that generate revenue based solely on a per telehealth visit basis for general medical and other specialty visits. For the Company’s direct-to-consumer behavioral health product, members purchase access to the Company’s professional provider network for a subscription access fee. Accordingly, the Company generates subscription access revenue from subscription access fees and visit fee revenue for general medical, expert medical service and other specialty visits.
8
The Company’s agreements generally have a term of one year. The majority of clients renew their contracts following their first year of services. Revenues are recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation to stand ready to provide telehealth services which occurs when the Company’s clients and members have access to and obtain control of the telehealth service. The Company generally bills for the telehealth services on a monthly basis with payment terms generally being 30 days. There are not significant differences between the timing of revenue recognition and billing. Consequently, the Company has determined that client contracts do not include a financing component. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected in exchange for the service and includes a variable transaction price as the number of members may vary from period to period. Based on historical experience, the Company estimates this amount.
Subscription access revenue accounted for approximately 76% and 82% of our total revenue for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue source (in thousands):

Total Revenues | $ | 180,799 | $ | 128,573 |
As of March 31, 2020, accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, were $70.7 million. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on historical experience, specific account information and other currently available evidence.
For certain services, payment is required for future months before the service is delivered to the client or member. The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received in advance of the Company’s performance obligation to provide services. The net increase of $5.4 million and $2.9 million in the deferred revenue balance for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are primarily driven by the direct-to-consumer behavioral health product and cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligations, offset by revenue recognized that were included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period. The Company anticipates that it will satisfy most of its performance obligations associated with the deferred revenue within the prospective fiscal year.
The Company’s contracts do not generally contain refund provisions for fees earned related to services performed. However, the Company’s direct-to-consumer behavioral health service provides for member refunds. Based on historical experience, the Company estimates the expected amount of refunds to be issued which are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company issued refunds of approximately $1.2 million and $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Additionally, certain of the Company’s contracts include client performance guarantees that are based upon minimum Member utilization and guarantees by the Company for specific service level performance of the Company’s services. If client performance guarantees are not being realized, the Company records, as a reduction to revenue, an estimate of the amount that will be due at the end of the respective client’s contractual period. For the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods for the aforementioned changes in transaction price or client performance guarantees, were not material.
The Company has elected the optional exemption to not disclose the remaining performance obligations of its contracts since substantially all of its contracts have a duration of one year or less and the variable consideration expected to be received over the duration of the contract is allocated entirely to the wholly unsatisfied performance obligations.

Note 4. Business Acquisitions
On April 30, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of the Paris-based telemedicine provider MedecinDirect in which MedecinDirect became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The aggregate merger consideration paid was $11.2 million with additional potential earnout consideration. The acquisition was considered a stock acquisition for tax purposes and accordingly, the goodwill resulting from the acquisition is not tax deductible.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that requires it to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active
markets.
Level 2—Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.
The Company measures its cash equivalents at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company classifies its cash equivalents within Level 1 because they are valued using observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and quoted prices directly in active markets.
The Company measures its short-term investments at fair value on a recurring basis and classifies such as Level 2. They are valued using observable inputs that reflect quoted prices directly or indirectly in active markets. The short-term investments amortized cost approximates fair value.
The Company measured its contingent consideration at fair value on a recurring basis and classified such as Level 3. The Company estimates the fair value of contingent consideration as the present value of the expected contingent payments, determined using the weighted probability of the possible payments.
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the above input categories (in thousands):

Note 10. Revolving Credit Facility
The Company entered into a $10.0 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) in 2017. The New Revolving Credit Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Company has maintained the New Revolving Credit Facility and, there was no amount outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company utilized $2.2 million of letters of credit for facility security deposits at March 31, 2020.
The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Note 11. Convertible Senior Notes
Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025
On May 8, 2018, the Company issued, at par value, $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 1.375% convertible senior notes due 2025. The 2025 Notes bear cash interest at a rate of 1.375% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2025 Notes will mature on May 15, 2025. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering were $279.1 million after deducting offering costs of approximately $8.4 million.
The 2025 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2025 Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company’s liabilities that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries.
Holders may convert all or any portion of their 2025 Notes in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 15, 2024 only under the following circumstances:
● | during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the shares of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; |
● | during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; |
● | upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described under the 2025 Notes Indenture; or |
12
● | if the Company calls the 2025 Notes for redemption, at any time until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date. |
On or after November 15, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2025 Notes, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
The conversion rate for the 2025 Notes was initially, and remains, 18.6621 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2025 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $53.58 per share of the Company’s common stock. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. If the Company elects to satisfy the conversion obligation solely in cash or through payment and delivery, as the case may be, of a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, the amount of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, if any, due upon conversion will be based on a daily conversion value calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day in a 25 trading day observation period.
The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2025 Notes, at its option, on or after May 22, 2022 if the last reported sale price of its common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of the redemption. The redemption price will be the principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, calling any 2025 Note for redemption on or after May 22, 2022 will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that 2025 Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note, if it is converted in connection with the redemption, will be increased in certain circumstances as described in the 2025 Notes Indenture.
In accounting for the issuance of the 2025 Notes, the Company separated the 2025 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the 2025 Notes as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount, referred to as the debt discount, is amortized to interest expense from the issuance date to November 15, 2024 (the first date on which the Company may be required to repurchase the 2025 Notes at the option of the holder). The equity component is not re-measured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. The equity component related to the 2025 Notes was $91.4 million, net of issuance costs which was recorded in additional paid-in capital on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
In accounting for the transaction costs related to the issuance of the 2025 Notes, the Company allocated the total costs incurred to the liability and equity components of the 2025 Notes based on their relative values. Transaction costs attributable to the liability component are being amortized to interest expense over the seven-year term of the 2025 Notes, and transaction costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.
The 2025 Notes consist of the following (in thousands):
As of March 31, | As of December 31, | |||||

(1) | Included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets within convertible senior notes and amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the 2025 Notes using the effective interest rate method. |
The fair value of the 2025 Notes was approximately $833.8 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company estimates the fair value of its 2025 Notes utilizing market quotations for debt that have quoted prices in active markets. Since the 2025 Notes do not trade on a daily basis in an active market, the fair value estimates are based on market observable inputs based on borrowing rates currently available for debt with similar terms and average maturities, which are classified as Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. See Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements,” for
13
definitions of hierarchy levels. As of March 31, 2020, the remaining contractual life of the 2025 Notes is approximately 5.1 years.

Convertible Senior Notes Due 2022
On June 27, 2017, the Company issued, at par value, $275 million aggregate principal amount of 3% convertible senior notes due 2022. The 2022 Notes bear cash interest at a rate of 3% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2022 Notes will mature on December 15, 2022. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering were $263.7 million after deducting offering costs of approximately $11.3 million.
The 2022 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2022 Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company’s liabilities that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries.
Holders may convert all or any portion of their 2022 Notes in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 15, 2022 only under the following circumstances:
● | during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the shares of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; |
● | during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; |
● | upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described under the 2022 Notes Indenture; or |
● | if the Company calls the 2022 Notes for redemption, at any time until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date. |
On or after June 15, 2022, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2022 Notes, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
The conversion rate for the 2022 Notes was initially, and remains, 22.7247 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2022 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $44.00 per share of the Company’s common stock. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. If the Company elects to satisfy the conversion obligation solely in cash or through payment and delivery, as the case may be, of a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, the amount of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, if any, due upon conversion will be based on a daily conversion value calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day in a 25 trading day observation period.
The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2022 Notes, at its option, on or after December 22, 2020 if the last reported sale price of its common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least
14
20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of the redemption. The redemption price will be the principal amount of the 2022 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, calling any 2022 Note for redemption on or after December 22, 2020 will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that 2022 Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note, if it is converted in connection with the redemption, will be increased in certain circumstances as described in the 2022 Notes Indenture.

Note 12. Legal Matters
From time to time, Teladoc Health is involved in various litigation matters arising out of the normal course of business, including the matters described below. The Company consults with legal counsel on those issues related to litigation and seek input from other experts and advisors with respect to such matters. Estimating the probable losses or a range of probable losses resulting from litigation, government actions and other legal proceedings is inherently difficult and requires an extensive degree of judgment, particularly where the matters involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages, may involve discretionary amounts, present novel legal theories, are in the early stages of the proceedings, or are subject to appeal. Whether any losses, damages or remedies ultimately resulting from such matters could reasonably have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including, for example, the timing and amount of such losses or damages (if any) and the structure and type of any such remedies. Teladoc Health’s management does not presently expect any litigation matter to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
On December 12, 2018, a purported securities class action complaint (Reiner v. Teladoc Health, Inc., et.al.) was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “SDNY”) against the Company and certain of the Company’s officers and a former officer. The complaint is brought on behalf of a purported class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of the Company’s common stock during the period March 3, 2016 through December 5, 2019. The complaint asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegedly false or misleading statements and omissions with respect to, among other things, the alleged misconduct of one of the Company’s previous Executive Officers. The complaint seeks certification as a class action and unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes that the claims against the Company and its officers are without merit, and the Company and its named officers intend to defend the Company vigorously, including filing a motion to dismiss the complaint.
In addition, on June 21, 2019, a stockholder derivative lawsuit (Kreutter v. Gorevic, et al.) was filed in the SDNY against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company. The derivative lawsuit alleges that the named directors and officers breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with factual assertions substantially similar to those in the purported securities class action complaint described above. The Company believes that the claims set forth in this stockholder derivative lawsuit are without merit.
On May 14, 2018, a purported class action complaint (Thomas v. Best Doctors, Inc.) was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Best Doctors, Inc. The complaint alleges that on or about May 16, 2017, Best Doctors violated the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by sending unsolicited facsimiles to plaintiff and certain other recipients without the recipients’ prior express invitation or permission. The lawsuit seeks statutory damages for each violation, subject to trebling under the TCPA, and injunctive relief. The Company will vigorously defend the lawsuit and any potential loss is currently deemed to be immaterial.
Note 13. Common Stock and Stockholders’ Equity

The total grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
All stock-based awards to employees are measured based on the grant-date fair value of the awards and are generally recognized on a straight line basis in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations over the period during which the employee is required to perform services in exchange for the award (generally requiring a four-year vesting period for each stock option and a three-year vesting period for each restricted stock unit (“RSU”). The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model are determined as follows:
Volatility. Since the Company does not have a trading history prior to July 2015 for its common stock, the expected volatility was derived from the historical stock volatilities of several unrelated public companies within its industry that it considers to be comparable to its business combined with the Company’s stock volatility over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants.
Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with terms similar to the expected term on the options.
Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. When establishing the expected term assumption, the Company utilizes historical data.
Dividend Yield. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and therefore, it used an expected dividend yield of zero.
Forfeiture rate. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions and fair value per share:

In May 2017, the Company commenced issuing RSUs pursuant to the Plan to certain employees and Board members under the 2017 Employment Inducement Incentive Award Plan.
The fair value of the RSUs is determined on the date of grant. The Company will record compensation expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for RSUs. The vesting period for employees and members of the Board of Directors ranges from
to four years.Activity under the RSUs is as follows:

The total grant-date fair value of RSUs granted during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $39.5 million and $48.0 million, respectively.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the RSUs of $9.4 million and $5.0 million respectively.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $82.8 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.0 years.
Performance Stock Units
The Company began issuing grants Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) to employees under the Plan in 2018. Stock-based compensation costs associated with our PSUs are initially determined using the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date the awards are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (service inception date). The vesting of these PSU is subject to certain performance conditions and a service requirement ranging from 1-3 years. Until the performance conditions are met, stock compensation costs associated with these PSU reflect the estimated performance attainment on the reporting date. The ultimate number of PSUs that are issued to an employee is the result of the actual performance of the Company at the end of the performance period compared to the performance conditions and can range from 50% to 200% of the initial grant. Stock compensation expense for PSUs is recognized on an accelerated tranche by tranche basis for performance-based awards. Forfeitures are accounted for at the time the occur consistent with Company policy.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the PSU of $4.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $25.4 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested PSU, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In July 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, in connection with its initial public offering. A total of 832,492 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under this plan as of March 31, 2020. The Company’s ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase common stock at a discount through payroll deductions during defined offering periods. Under the ESPP, the Company may specify offerings with durations of not more than 27 months and may specify shorter purchase periods within each offering. Each offering will have one or more purchase dates on which shares of its common stock will be purchased for employees participating in the offering. An offering may be terminated under certain circumstances. The price at which the stock is purchased is equal to the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning of an offering period or on the date of purchase.
During the quarter March 31, 2020, the Company had not issued any shares under the ESPP. During 2019, the Company issued 64,497 shares under the ESPP. As of March 31, 2020, 555,267 shares remained available for issuance.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $0.2 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.1 years.

Note 14. Income Taxes
As a result of the Company’s history of net operating losses (“NOL”), the Company has provided for a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets for assets that are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $0.7 million, primarily due to the
19
amortization of acquired intangibles and stock compensation deductions. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the income tax expense was primarily due U.S. tax expense for its non-consolidated U.S. subsidiary, which was transferred to the U.S. parent company in the fourth quarter of 2019 and as a result the subsidiary’s 2020 income will be offset by other U.S. losses as the company has elected to include it in the U.S. consolidation, as well as amortization of tax-deductible goodwill.
Beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company is calculating tax expense based on the U.S. statutory rate of 21%. The US Federal tax law includes a Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax, commonly referred to as BEAT, which imposes a minimum tax on certain deductible payments or accruals made to foreign affiliates in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. The Company has determined that it is currently not subject to BEAT. US Federal tax law imposes a minimum tax on global intangible low-taxed income, commonly referred to as GILTI. The Company does not expect to recognize any tax expense related to GILTI as it has net operating losses available and a full valuation allowance. In addition, US Tax law imposes an interest expense limitation which disallows a portion of the interest deduction based on EBITDA. While the disallowed interest deduction is deferred, there is no impact to tax expense due to the current year taxable loss and related valuation allowance.

Overview
Teladoc, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Texas in June 2002 and changed its state of incorporation to the State of Delaware in October 2008. Effective August 10, 2019, Teladoc, Inc. changed its corporate name to Teladoc Health, Inc. from Teladoc, Inc. Unless the context otherwise requires, Teladoc Health, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is referred to herein as “Teladoc Health” or the “Company”. The Company’s principal executive office is located in Purchase, New York. Teladoc Health is the global leader in providing virtual healthcare services with a focus on high quality, lower costs, and improved outcomes around the world.
Teladoc Health solutions are transforming the access, cost and quality dynamics of healthcare delivery for all of our market participants. Members rely on Teladoc Health to remotely access affordable, on-demand healthcare whenever and wherever they choose. Employers, health plans and health systems, or our Clients, as well as our direct-to-consumer members purchase our solutions to reduce their healthcare spending and offer convenient, affordable, high-quality healthcare to their employees or beneficiaries. Our network of physicians and other healthcare professionals, or our Providers have the ability to generate meaningful income and deliver their services more efficiently with no administrative burden.
Revenue
We have a demonstrated track record of driving growth both organically and through acquisitions. We increased revenue 41% to $180.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, including $0.9 million from our April 2019 MedecinDirect acquisition. The increase in revenue includes an unprecedented surge in demand for our services in the month of March associated with the global outbreak of COVID-19.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, 76% and 24% of our revenue was derived from subscription access fees and visit fees, respectively. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, 82% and 18% of our revenue was derived from subscription access fees and visit fees, respectively. The increased percentage of visit related revenue in 2020 is a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we believe our continued strong subscription fee revenue is mainly representative of the value proposition we provide the broader U.S. healthcare system.
Membership and Visits
We completed approximately 2.0 million telehealth visits in the first three months of 2020 and approximately 4.1 million telehealth visits for the full year of 2019. Paid Membership increased by approximately 6.2 million Members to 43.0 million from December 31, 2019 through March 31, 2020.
Acquisition History
We have scaled and intend to continue to scale our platform through the pursuit of selective acquisitions. We have completed multiple acquisitions since our inception, which we believe have expanded our distribution capabilities and broadened our service offerings.
22
On January 12, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire InTouch Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise telehealth solutions for hospitals and health systems. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2020. Under the terms of the agreement, the purchase price of $600.0 million will consist of approximately $150.0 million in cash as well as $450.0 million of Teladoc Health’s common stock which is subject to adjustment based on the average of the Company’s stock price for the ten full trading days prior to the completion of the acquisition.
On April 30, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of the Paris-based telemedicine provider MedecinDirect in which MedecinDirect became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The aggregate merger consideration paid was $11.2 million with additional potential earnout consideration. On June 19, 2019, the Company made a $5.0 million minority investment in Vida Health which is accounted for under the cost method for investments.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Number of Members. Our revenue growth rate and long-term profitability are affected by our ability to increase our number of Members because we derive a substantial portion of our revenue from subscription access fees via Client contracts that provide Members access to our professional provider network in exchange for a contractual based monthly fee. Membership increased by approximately 6.2 million Members to 43.0 million from December 31, 2019 through March 31, 2020.
Number of Visits. We also recognize revenue in connection with the completion of a general medical visit, expert medical service and other specialty visits for certain of our contracts. Accordingly, our visit revenue, or visit fees, generally increase as the number of visits increase. Visit fee revenue is driven primarily by the number of Clients, the number of Members in a Client’s population, Member utilization of our provider network services and the contractually negotiated prices of our services. We believe that increasing our current Member utilization rate and increasing penetration further into existing and new health plan Clients is a key objective in order for our Clients to realize tangible healthcare savings with our service. Visits increased by 92% or 1.0 million to approximately 2.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in visits is reflective of our ability to secure new clients as well as the surge in demand for our services associated with COVID-19.
Seasonality. We typically experience the strongest increases in consecutive quarterly revenue during the fourth and first quarters of each year, which coincides with traditional annual benefit enrollment seasons. In particular, as a result of many Clients’ introduction of new services at the very end of the current year, or the start of each year, the majority of our new Client contracts have an effective date of January 1. Therefore, while Membership increases, utilization is dampened until service delivery ramps up over the course of the year. Our business also has become more diversified across services, channels and geographies. As a result, we have seen a diversification of client start dates, resulting from our health plan expansions, cross sales of new services, international growth, and mid-market employer growth, all of which are not constrained by a calendar year start.
As a result of national seasonal cold and flu trends, we typically experience our highest level of visit fees during the first and fourth quarters of each year when compared to other quarters of the year. Conversely, the second quarter of the year has historically been the period of lowest utilization of our provider network services relative to the other quarters of the year. We experienced a surge in demand for our services in March of 2020 associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic and anticipate that this will alter our historical seasonal utilization trends during 2020. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly, which could adversely impact the value of our common stock.” included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, accounting for business combinations, goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived assets, capitalized development costs, earnout, income taxes, lease liabilities, loss contingencies and the
23
value of securities underlying stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from our estimates and could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates see Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report and there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during 2020.

(1) | Non-GAAP Financial Measures: |
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, we use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-U.S. GAAP financial
24
measures to clarify and enhance an understanding of past performance. We believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that these financial measures are useful financial metrics to assess our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We use certain financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors. We utilize Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of our performance.
EBITDA consists of net loss before interest, foreign exchange gain or loss, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that making such adjustment provides investors meaningful information to understand our results of operations and the ability to analyze financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis.
Adjusted EBITDA consists of net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and acquisition and integration related costs. We believe that making such adjustment provides investors meaningful information to understand our results of operations and the ability to analyze financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis.
We believe both financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the term EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in our industry. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as an alternative to net loss before taxes, net loss, loss per share or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
● | EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense on our debt; |
● | EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA eliminate the impact of income taxes on our results of operations; |
● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant acquisition and integration related costs related to mergers and acquisitions; |
● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant non-cash stock compensation expense which should be viewed as a component of recurring operating costs; and |
● | other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as comparative measures. |
In addition, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any expenditures for such replacements.
We compensate for these limitations by using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. Such U.S. GAAP measurements include net loss, net loss per share and other performance measures.
In evaluating these financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
Consolidated Results of Operations Discussion
We completed our acquisition of MedecinDirect on April 30, 2019. The results of operations of the aforementioned acquisition has been included in our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report from the date of acquisition.
Revenue. Total revenue was $180.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to $128.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $52.2 million, or 41%, with organic growth
25
reflecting a 40% increase. The primary increase in revenue in 2020 was substantially driven by an increase in new Clients and the number of new Members generating additional subscription access fees and an increase in volume associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Subscription access fee revenue increased to $137.1 million or 29% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increase in subscription access fees was due to the addition of new Clients and direct-to-consumer members, as the number of paid Members increased by 61% from March 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020. Revenue from U.S. subscription access fees was $107.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $81.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. We generated $29.1 million of international subscription access fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and $25.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
We completed approximately 2.0 million visits, representing $43.7 million of visit fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to approximately 1.1 million visits, representing $22.6 million of visit fees during the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The increase in visit fees is associated with the aforementioned increase in paid Members as well as the impact of COVID-19.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue was $72.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $44.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $27.7 million, or 62%. The increase was primarily due to increased general medical visits and behavioral health visits resulting in increased provider fees, additional incentive fees paid to physicians and physician network operation center costs. The cost of revenue for March 31, 2020 also reflects approximately $4.0 million for additional investments in capacity expansion associated with the global outbreak of COVID-19.
Advertising and Marketing Expenses. Advertising and marketing expenses were $32.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $26.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $6.1 million, or 23%. This increase primarily consisted of increased digital advertising, member engagement and acquisition initiatives, sponsorship of professional organizations and trade shows of $5.1 million and increases in employee-related expenses and others of $1.0 million.
Sales Expenses. Sales expenses were $17.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $16.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $1.7 million, or 11%. This increase primarily consisted of increased staffing and sales commissions of $2.3 million and offset by a decrease to other sales expenses of $0.6 million.
Technology and Development Expenses. Technology and development expenses were $19.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $16.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $3.3 million, or 20%. This increase resulted primarily from hiring additional personnel totaling $1.9 million and other professional expenses of $1.4 million.
Legal and Regulatory Expenses. Legal and regulatory expenses were $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 23%. The decrease in 2020 resulted primarily from timing associated with activities to support litigation.
Acquisition and Integration Related Costs. Acquisition and integration related costs, incurred primarily in connection with integration activities of prior acquisitions as well as costs associated with the pending In Touch Technologies, Inc. acquisition, were $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $2.7 million. The 2020 and 2019 acquisition and integration related costs represent investment banking, financing, legal, accounting, consultancy, integration, fair value changes related to contingent consideration and certain other non-recurring transaction costs related to mergers and acquisitions.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $45.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $36.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $9.1 million, or 25%. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in employee-related expenses of approximately $4.6 million resulting from growth in total employee headcount to 2,588 at March 31, 2020 as compared to 2,046 employees at March 31, 2019 reflecting the impact of the MedecinDirect acquisitions and to support the increase volume of activities due to COVID-19. Other expenses, which include office-related charges, professional fees and bank charges, increased by $4.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to March 31, 2019.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization were $9.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $9.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $0.1 million, or 1%. The increase was primarily due to the impact from acquisitions in 2019. Additional amortization expenses primarily related
26
to an increase in acquisition-related intangible assets that increased from $305.4 million at March 31, 2019 to $317.1 million at March 31, 2020 and an increase of depreciation expense on an increased base of depreciable fixed assets that increased from $23.0 million at March 31, 2019 to $26.2 million at March 31, 2020..
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net consists of interest costs and amortization of debt discount associated with our Convertible Senior Notes, interest income from short-term investments in marketable securities as well as foreign exchange gain or loss. Interest expense, net was $9.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The increase in net interest expense in 2020 reflects interest expense accretion associated with our Convertible Senior Notes, lower interest income from short-term investments as well as higher foreign exchange loss.
Income tax (benefit) expense. Income tax benefit was $0.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to an income tax expense $0.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and is primarily reflective of the jurisdiction mix of income in the first quarter of 2020.

Total | $ | (3,195) | $ | 10,146 |
Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through public and private sales of equity securities, debt issuance and bank borrowings.
On April 30, 2019, we completed the acquisition of MedecinDirect. The purchase price was $11.2 million cash with additional potential earnout consideration. We also made a $5.0 million minority investment in Vida Health on June 19, 2019.
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents totaling $508.0 million as of March 31, 2020, which were held for working capital purposes. Our cash and cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds and marketable securities. Additionally, we have short term marketable securities of $2.8 million as of March 31, 2020.
Cash Used in Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $6.3 million. The negative cash flows resulted primarily from our net loss of $29.6 million, changes in deferred income tax of $2.8 million and adjusted for the effect of net changes in working capital and other balance sheet accounts largely associated with the Company’s annual bonus payment in March resulting in cash outflows of approximately $11.6 million. These are partially offset by depreciation and amortization of $11.2 million, allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.3 million, stock-based compensation of $18.3 million and accretion of interest of $6.9 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, cash used in operating activities was $7.9 million. The negative cash flows resulted primarily from our net loss of $30.2 million, adjusted for deferred income tax of $2.7 million, partially offset by depreciation and amortization of $11.6 million, allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.8 million, stock-based compensation of $13.5 million and accretion of interest of $6.1 million.
The decrease in cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was primarily the result of the aforementioned annual bonus payment partially offset by the Company’s ability to continue to increase our revenue dollars while gaining operating leverage on our cash related operating expenses.
27
Cash (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Cash used in investing activities consisted of the purchases of property and equipment totaling $0.9 million, investments in internally developed capitalized software of $2.0 million, and $9.0 million of pre-funding associated with the pending InTouch Technologies, Inc. acquisition.
Cash provided by investing activities was $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Cash provided by investing activities consisted of maturities of short-term marketable securities of $9.0 million, net of sales, offset by the purchases of property and equipment totaling $0.6 million and investments in internally developed capitalized software of $1.1 million.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $15.1 million. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of $14.9 million of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options and $0.2 million of timing associated with cash proceeds for tax withholding for options exercised.
Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $10.7 million. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of $8.9 million of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options and $1.8 million of timing associated with cash proceeds for tax withholding for options exercised.
Looking Forward
At March 31, 2020, the Company’s cash and short-term investments were $510.8 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we have experienced positive Adjusted EBITDA and for the full year 2020 we anticipate positive Adjusted EBITDA as well as positive free cash flow.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, contract renewal activity, number of visits, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, our expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced service offerings and the continuing market acceptance of telehealth. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services and technologies and intellectual property rights. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.
Shelf Registration Statements
We filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act on November 28, 2017 (the “2017 Shelf”). Under the 2017 Shelf at the time of effectiveness, we had the ability to raise up to $175 million by selling common stock in addition to 1,200,000 shares of common stock eligible for resale by certain shareholders. We currently have the ability under the 2017 Shelf to raise up to approximately $32 million by selling common stock in addition to 370,000 shares of common stock eligible for resale by certain existing shareholders.
On July 23, 2018, we filed an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act (the “2019 Shelf”). The 2019 Shelf registers the offering of securities, including common stock, preferred stock and debt securities, that we may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined, as well as the issuance of common stock by selling stockholders. Issuances of securities under the 2019 Shelf require the filing of a prospectus supplement identifying the amount and terms of the securities to be issued. Our ability to issue securities is subject to market conditions and other factors impacting our borrowing capacity.
Indebtedness
We entered into a $10.0 million New Revolving Credit Facility in 2017. The New Revolving Credit Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We have maintained the New Revolving Credit Facility and, there was no amount outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company utilized $2.2 million of letters of credit for facility security deposits and credit card at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019,
28
respectively.
On May 8, 2018, we issued, at par value, $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 1.375% convertible senior notes due 2025. The 2025 Notes bear cash interest at a rate of 1.375% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2025 Notes will mature on May 15, 2025. The net proceeds to us from the offering were $279.1 million after deducting offering costs of approximately $8.4 million.
The 2025 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of ours and rank senior in right of payment to our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2025 Notes; equal in right of payment to our liabilities that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities incurred by our subsidiaries.
In June 2017, we issued, at par value, $275 million aggregate principal amount of 3% convertible senior notes due 2022. The 2022 Notes bear cash interest at a rate of 3% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2022 Notes will mature on December 15, 2022. The net proceeds to us from the offering were $263.7 million after deducting offering costs of approximately $11.3 million.
The 2022 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of ours and rank senior in right of payment to our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2022 Notes; equal in right of payment to our liabilities that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities incurred by our subsidiaries. See Note 11, “Convertible Senior Notes” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the 2025 Notes and the 2022 Notes.
We were in compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Our existing office and hosting co-location facilities lease agreements provide us with the option to renew and generally provide for rental payments on a graduated basis. Our future operating lease obligations would change if we entered into additional operating lease agreements as we expand our operations and if we exercised the office and hosting co-location facilities lease options. The contractual commitment amounts in the table above are associated with agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum services to be used, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions and the approximate timing of the transaction. Obligations under contracts that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the table above.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented, we did not have, nor do we currently have, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are therefore not exposed to the financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships.
29
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk and Foreign Exchange Risk
We do not have any floating rate debt with our New Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2020. Cash equivalents that are subject to interest rate volatility represent our principal market risk. We do not expect cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates.
We operate our business primarily within the United States and currently execute more than 84% of our transactions in U.S. dollars. We have not utilized hedging strategies with respect to such foreign exchange exposure. This limited foreign currency translation risk is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Concentrations of Risk and Significant Clients
Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities and accounts receivable. Although we deposit our cash with multiple financial institutions in U.S. and in foreign countries, our deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Our short-term marketable securities are comprised of a portfolio of diverse high credit rating instruments with maturity durations of one year or less.
No Client represented over 10% of revenues for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
No Client represented over 10% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2020.
No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. At March 31, 2020, the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition should such litigation be resolved unfavorably.
On December 12, 2018, a purported securities class action complaint (Reiner v. Teladoc Health, Inc., et.al.) was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “SDNY”) against the Company and certain of the Company’s officers and a former officer. The complaint is brought on behalf of a purported class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of the Company’s common stock during the period March 3, 2016 through December 5, 2018. The complaint asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegedly false or misleading statements and omissions with respect to, among other things, the alleged misconduct of one of the Company’s previous Executive Officers. The complaint seeks certification as a class action and unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes that the claims against the Company and its officers are without merit, and the Company and its named officers intend to defend the Company vigorously, including filing a motion to dismiss the complaint.
In addition, on June 21, 2019, a stockholder derivative lawsuit (Kreutter v. Gorevic, et al.) was filed in the SDNY against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company. The derivative lawsuit alleges that the named directors and officers breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with factual assertions substantially similar to those in the purported securities class action complaint described above. The Company believes that the claims set forth in this stockholder derivative lawsuit are without merit.
On May 14, 2018, a purported class action complaint (Thomas v. Best Doctors, Inc.) was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Best Doctors, Inc. The complaint alleges that on or about May 16, 2017, Best Doctors violated the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by sending unsolicited facsimiles to plaintiff and certain other recipients without the recipients’ prior express invitation or permission. The lawsuit seeks statutory damages for each violation, subject to trebling under the TCPA, and injunctive relief. The Company will vigorously defend the lawsuit and any potential loss is currently deemed to be immaterial.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Other than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. For a discussion of potential risks and uncertainties related to our Company see the information in Part I, Item 1A ("Risk Factors") of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section in Part I, Item 2, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious outbreak, which has continued to spread, and the related adverse public health developments, including orders to shelter-in-place, travel restrictions and mandated business closures, have adversely affected workforces, organizations, customers, economies and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn and increased market volatility. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours.
This outbreak, as well as intensified measures undertaken to contain the spread of COVID-19, could cause disruptions and severely impact our business, including, but not limited to:
● | causing one or more of our Clients to file for bankruptcy protection or shut down; |
● | reducing Client and Member subscription fees generated, as well as visit fees by other individuals, as a result of funding constraints related to loss of revenue or employment; |
31
● | negatively impacting collections of accounts receivable; |
● | negatively impacting our ability to facilitate the provision of our services to Clients and other consumers; and |
● | harming our business, results of operations and financial condition. |
We cannot predict with any certainty whether and to what degree the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and reactions thereto will continue, and expect to face difficulty accurately predicting our internal financial forecasts.
Our continued access to sources of liquidity also depend on multiple factors, including global economic conditions, the condition of global financial markets, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing and our operating performance. As of March 31, 2020, we had unused commitments under our revolving credit facility available to us of $10.0 million (without giving effect to approximately $2.2 million of letters of credit). There is no guarantee that additional debt financing will be available in the future to fund our obligations, or that it will be available on commercially reasonable terms, in which case we may need to seek other sources of funding. In addition, the terms of the agreements governing our current indebtedness include, and any future debt agreements could include, restrictive covenants, which could restrict our business operations.
The outbreak also presents challenges as our entire workforce is currently working remotely and shifting to assisting new and existing Clients, Members and other consumers, who are also generally working remotely.
It is not possible for us to accurately predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business, results of operations or financial condition at this time, but such effects may be material. The COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, such as those relating to our indebtedness, our need to generate sufficient cash flows to service our indebtedness and our ability to comply with the covenants contained in the agreements that govern our indebtedness.
