(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Zynex, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) has its headquarters in Englewood, Colorado. The term “the Company” refers to Zynex, Inc. and its active and inactive subsidiaries. The Company operates in one primary business segment, medical devices which include electrotherapy and pain management products. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s only active subsidiaries are Zynex Medical, Inc. (“ZMI,” a wholly-owned Colorado corporation) through which the Company conducts most of its operations, and Zynex Monitoring Solutions, Inc. (“ZMS,” a wholly-owned Colorado corporation). ZMS has developed a blood volume monitoring device which received approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) during 2020 and is still awaiting CE Marking in Europe. ZMS has achieved no revenues to date. The Company’s inactive subsidiaries include Zynex Europe, Zynex NeuroDiagnostics, Inc. (“ZND,” a wholly-owned Colorado corporation) and Pharmazy, Inc. (“Pharmazy”, a wholly-owned Colorado Corporation), which was incorporated in June 2015. The Company’s compounding pharmacy operated as a division of ZMI dba as Pharmazy through January 2016.
Nature of Business
The Company designs, manufactures and markets medical devices that treat chronic and acute pain, as well as activate and exercise muscles for rehabilitative purposes with electrical stimulation. The Company’s devices are intended for pain management to reduce reliance on drugs and medications and provide rehabilitation and increased mobility through the utilization of non-invasive muscle stimulation, electromyography technology, interferential current (“IFC”), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (“NMES”) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (“TENS”). All of our medical devices are designed to be patient friendly and designed for home use. Our devices are small, portable, battery operated and include an electrical pulse generator which is connected to the body via electrodes. All of our medical devices are marketed in the U.S. and are subject to FDA regulation and approval. Our products require a physician’s prescription before they can be dispensed in the U.S. Our primary product is the NexWave device. The NexWave is marketed to physicians and therapists by our field sales representatives. The NexWave requires consumable supplies, such as electrodes and batteries, which are shipped to patients on a recurring monthly basis, as needed.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company generated substantially all of its revenue in the United States from sales of its devices and related supplies to patients and health care providers.
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. A description of the Company’s accounting policies and other financial information is included in the audited consolidated financial statements as filed with the SEC in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Amounts as of December 31, 2020, are derived from those audited consolidated financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements, accounting policies and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2021 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year and cannot be used to indicate financial performance for the entire year.
7
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zynex, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant management estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are associated with the allowance for billing adjustments and uncollectible accounts receivable, the reserve for obsolete and damaged inventory, stock-based compensation, and valuation of long-lived assets and realizability of deferred tax assets.
Leases
The Company recognizes finance and operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of the lease payments over the lease term. For our finance leases, the Company uses the implicit rate to determine the present value of future lease payments. For our operating leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of future lease payments. The Company includes options to extend or terminate a lease in the lease term when it is reasonably certain to exercise such options. The Company recognizes leases with an initial term of 12 months or less as lease expense over the lease term and those leases are not recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. For additional information on our leases where the Company is the lessee, see Note 7- Leases.
A significant portion of our device revenue is derived from patients who obtain our devices under month-to-month lease arrangements. Revenue related to devices on lease is recognized in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. Using the guidance in ASC 842, we concluded these transactions should be accounted for as operating leases based on the criteria below:
● | The lease does not transfer ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term; |
● | The lease does not grant the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise; |
● | The lease term is month-to-month, which does not meet the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; however, if the commencement date falls at or near the end of the economic life of the underlying asset, this criterion shall not be used for purposes of classifying the lease; |
● | There is no residual value guaranteed and the present value of the sum of the lease payments does not equal or exceed substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; and |
● | The underlying asset is expected to have alternative uses to the lessor at the end of the lease term. |
Lease commencement occurs upon delivery of the device to the patient. The Company retains title to the leased device and those devices are classified as property and equipment on the balance sheet. Since our leases are month-to-month and can be returned by the patient at any time, revenue is recognized monthly for the duration of the period in which the patient retains the device.
8
Accounts Receivable, Net
The Company’s accounts receivables represent unconditional rights to consideration and are generated when a patient receives one of the Company’s devices, related supplies or complimentary products. In conjunction with fulfilling the Company’s obligation to deliver a product, the Company invoices the patient’s third-party payor or the patient. Billing adjustments represent the difference between the list price and the reimbursement rates set by third-party payors, including Medicare, commercial payors and amounts billed directly to the patient. Specific amounts, if uncollected over a period of time, may be written-off after several appeals, which in some cases may take longer than twelve months. Substantially all of the Company’s receivables are due from patients with commercial or government health plans and workers compensation claims with a small portion related to private pay individuals, attorney and auto claims.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is derived from sales and leases of our electrotherapy devices and sales of related supplies and complimentary products. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the product has been transferred to the patient, in the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive. In general, revenue from sales of our devices and supplies is recognized once the product is delivered to the patient, which is when control is deemed to have transferred to our patient.
Sales of our devices and supplies are primarily made with and shipped directly to the patient with a small amount of revenue generated from sales to distributors. In the healthcare industry there is often a third party involved that will pay on the patients’ behalf for purchased or leased devices and supplies. The terms of the separate arrangement impact certain aspects of the contracts, with patients covered by third party payors, such as contract type, performance obligations and transaction price, but for purposes of revenue recognition the contract with the customer refers to the arrangement between the Company and the patient. The Company does not have any material deferred revenue in the normal course of business as each performance obligation is met upon delivery of goods to the patient. There are no substantial costs incurred through support or warranty obligations.
The following table provides a breakdown of net revenue related to devices accounted for as purchases subject to ASC 606 and leases subject to ASC 842 (in thousands):

Total Device revenue | $ | 9,071 | $ | 5,301 | $ | 23,264 | $ | 13,026 |
Revenues are estimated using the portfolio approach by third-party payor type based upon historical rates of collection, aging of receivables, trends in historical reimbursement rates by third-party payor types, and current relationships and experience with the third-party payors, which includes estimated constraints for third-party payor refund requests, deductions and adjustments. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised as additional information becomes available and constraints are released. Specifically, the complexity of third-party payor billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain products from third-party payors or unanticipated requirements to refund payments previously received may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. Due to continuing changes in the health care industry and third-party payor reimbursement, it is possible our forecasting model to estimate collections could change, which could have an impact on our results of operations and cash flows. Any differences between estimated and actual collectability are reflected in the period in which the difference is identified. Historically these differences have been immaterial, and the Company has not had a significant reversal of revenue from prior periods.
9
A change in the way estimates are determined can result from a number of factors, including changes in the reimbursement policies or practices of third-party payors, or changes in industry rates of reimbursement. The Company monitors the variability and uncertain timing over third-party payor types in our portfolios. If there is a change in our third-party payor mix over time, it could affect our net revenue and related receivables. We believe we have a sufficient history of collection experience to estimate the net collectible amounts by third-party payor type. However, changes to constraints for billing adjustments have historically fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation through recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, which is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. The stock-based compensation expenses are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the requisite service period, which in the Company’s case is the same as the vesting period). For awards subject to the achievement of performance metrics, stock-based compensation expense is recognized when it becomes probable that the performance conditions will be achieved over the respective performance period.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, for which current carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Financial instruments also include capitalized leases, the carrying value of which approximates fair value because the interest rates on the outstanding borrowings are at rates that approximate market rates for borrowings with similar terms and average maturities.
Inventory, Net
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using standard costs, which approximates actual costs on an average cost basis. Following are the components of inventory (in thousands):

The Company monitors inventory for turnover and obsolescence and records losses for excess and obsolete inventory, as appropriate. The Company provides reserves for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based upon assumptions about future demand. If future demand is less favorable than currently projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
Segment Information
We define operating segments as components of our enterprise for which separate financial information is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision-makers to evaluate performance and to make operating decisions. We have identified our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer as our chief operating decision-makers (“CODM”).
We currently operate our business as one operating segment that includes two revenue types: Devices and Supplies.
10
Income Taxes
We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized.
We recognize tax benefits from uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) ("ASU 2016-13"), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren't measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace today's "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods therein for smaller reporting companies. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company monitors devices out on lease for potential loss and places an estimated reserve on the net book value based on an analysis of the number of units which are still with patients for which the Company cannot determine the current status.
The Company monitors demo devices for potential losses and places an estimated reserve on the net book value based on an analysis of terminated territory managers that have not yet returned their units.
(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the number of dilutive potential common share equivalents during the period, calculated using the treasury-stock method for outstanding stock options.
The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

(4) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
In June 2017, our stockholders approved the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Stock Plan”) with a maximum of 5 million shares reserved for issuance. Awards permitted under the 2017 Stock Plan include: Stock Options and Restricted Stock. Awards issued under the 2017 Stock Plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. As applicable, awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant and generally vest over four years. Restricted Stock Awards are issued to the recipient upon grant and are not included in outstanding shares until such vesting and issuance occurs.
12
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, no stock option awards were granted under the 2017 Stock Plan. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, no stock option awards were granted under the 2017 Stock Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 14,000 stock option awards were granted under the 2017 Stock Plan.

(6) INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, primarily related to excess tax benefits on stock option exercises. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 discrete items adjusted were $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively. At September 30, 2021 the Company is currently estimating an annual effective tax rate of approximately 25%. Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. There is a potential for volatility of the effective tax rate due to various factors.
The provision for income taxes is recorded at the end of each interim period based on the Company’s best estimate of its effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.9 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and income tax expense of $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Income taxes of $1.0 million and $0.7 million were paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
(7) LEASES
The Company categorize leases at their inception as either operating or financing leases. Leases include various office and warehouse facilities which have been categorized as operating leases while certain equipment is leased under financing leases.
The Company entered into a sublease agreement on April 9, 2021 with Cognizant Trizetto Software Group, Inc. for up to approximately 110,754 square feet of office space as its new corporate headquarters. The term of the sublease began on May 1, 2021 and will run through April 29, 2028. The Company is entitled to rent credits equal to twenty-one months of base rent at the initial rate. During the first thirty-three months of the sublease, the rent per square foot is $26.50. The price per square foot increases by an additional $0.50 during each subsequent twelve-month period of the sublease. Upon lease commencement, the Company recorded an operating lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use asset for $13.4 million each. The remaining lease term was 6.5 years at September 30, 2021.
The Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring the lease liability. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. The Company’s weighted average borrowing rate was determined to be 4.12% for its operating lease liabilities. The Company’s equipment lease agreements have a weighted average rate of 9.37% which was used to measure its finance lease liability.
As of September 30, 2021, the maturities of the Company’s future minimum lease payments were as follows:

(8) CONCENTRATIONS
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sourced approximately 51% of the supplies for its electrotherapy products from three significant vendors (defined as supplying at least 10%). For the same period in 2020, the Company sourced approximately 64% of the supplies from five significant vendors.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sourced approximately 36% of supplies for its electrotherapy products from two significant vendors. For the same period in 2020, the Company sourced approximately 31% of supplies from one significant vendor.
Management believes that its relationships with suppliers are good; however, if the relationships were to be replaced, there may be a short-term disruption to operations, a period of time in which products may not be available and additional expenses may be incurred.
The Company had receivables from two third-party payers at September 30, 2021 that made up approximately 37% of the net accounts receivable balance. The Company had receivables from one third-party payer at December 31, 2020, that made up approximately 26% of the net accounts receivable balance.
(9) LITIGATION
From time to time, the Company may become party to litigation and other claims in the ordinary course of business. To the extent that such claims and litigation arise, management would accrue the estimated exposure for such events when losses are determined to be both probable and estimable.
The Company is currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. These risks include the ability to engage effective sales representatives, the need to obtain U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance and Certificate European (“CE”) marking of new products, the acceptance of new products as well as existing products by doctors and hospitals, our dependence on the reimbursement from third-party payors for products sold or leased to our patients, acceptance of our products by health third-party payors for reimbursement, larger competitors with greater financial resources, the need to keep pace with technological changes, our dependence on third-party manufacturers to produce key components of our products on time and to our specifications, implementation of our sales strategy including a strong direct sales force, the impact of COVID-19 on our business, and other risks described herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
These interim financial statements and the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements, and notes to consolidated financial statements, included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequently filed reports, which have previously been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
General
Zynex, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) has its headquarters in Englewood, Colorado. We operate one primary business segment: medical devices which include electrotherapy and pain management products. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s only active subsidiaries are Zynex Medical, Inc. (“ZMI,” a wholly-owned Colorado corporation) through which the Company conducts most of its operations and Zynex Monitoring Solutions, Inc. (“ZMS,” a wholly-owned Colorado corporation). ZMS has developed a blood volume monitoring device, which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) during 2020 and is awaiting CE Marking approval in Europe. ZMS has achieved no revenues to date. One other subsidiary, Zynex Europe, ApS (“ZEU,” a wholly-owned Denmark corporation), did not generate material revenues during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 from international sales and marketing.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary
Net revenue was $34.8 million and $20.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $89.9 million and $54.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net revenue increased 74% and 65% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Net income was $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared with $1.3 million during the same period in 2020. Net income was $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared with $7.3 million during the same period in 2020. Cash used in operating activities was $0.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Working capital at September 30, 2021 was $59.6 million, an increase of 13% from $52.9 million as of December 31, 2020.
Net Revenue
Net revenues are comprised of device and supplies sales, constrained by estimated third-party payor reimbursement deductions and estimated uncollectible amounts. Product device revenue is primarily comprised of sales and rentals of our electrotherapy products and other complimentary products.
Supplies revenue is primarily comprised of sales of our consumable supplies to patients using our electrotherapy products, consisting primarily of surface electrodes and batteries.
17
Revenue related to both devices and supplies is reported net, after adjustments for estimated third-party payor reimbursement deductions and estimated uncollectible amounts. Estimates for third-party payor reimbursement deductions and uncollectible accounts are adjusted on an ongoing basis in conjunction with the processing of third-party payor insurance claims and other customer collection history. Billing allowance adjustments are common in our industry whereby third-party payors unilaterally reduce the amount they reimburse for our products as compared to the sales price charged by us. These deductions from gross revenue take into account the estimated denials, net of resubmitted billings of claims for products placed with patients which may affect collectability. See our Significant Accounting Policies in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more complete explanation of our revenue recognition policies.
We occasionally receive, and expect to continue to receive, refund requests from insurance providers relating to specific patients and dates of service. Billing and reimbursement disputes are very common in our industry. These requests are sometimes related to a few patients and other times include a significant number of refund claims in a single request. We review and evaluate these requests and determine if any refund is appropriate. We also review claims that have been resubmitted or where we are pursuing additional reimbursement from that insurance provider. We frequently have significant offsets against such refund requests which may result in amounts that are due to us in excess of the amounts of refunds requested by the insurance providers. Therefore, at the time of receipt of such refund requests we are generally unable to determine if a refund request is valid.
Net revenue increased $14.8 million or 74% to $34.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from $20.0 million for the same period in 2020. Net revenue increased $35.4 million or 65% to $89.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $54.5 million for the same period in 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the growth in net revenue from the same periods in 2020 is primarily related to a 70% and 134% growth in device orders, respectively, which led to an increased customer base and drove higher sales of consumable supplies.
Device Revenue
Device revenue is related to the sale or lease of our electrotherapy and complimentary products. Device revenue increased $3.8 million or 71% to $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from $5.3 million for the same period in 2020.
Device revenue increased $10.3 million or 79% to $23.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from $13.0 million for the same period in 2020.
The increase in device revenue is primarily related to increased orders which are attributable to the growth of our sales force as well as an increase in the amount of revenue provided by each sales representative.
Supplies Revenue
Supplies revenue is related to the sale of supplies, primarily electrodes and batteries, for our electrotherapy products. Supplies revenue increased $11.0 million or 75% to $25.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from $14.7 million for the same period in 2020.
Supplies revenue increased $25.2 million or 61% to $66.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $41.5 million for the same period in 2020.
The increase in supplies revenue is primarily related to a larger customer base from increased device sales in 2020 and 2021.
Operating Expenses
Cost of Revenue – Device and Supply
Cost of Revenue – device and supply consist primarily of device and supply costs, facilities, operations labor and overhead, shipping and depreciation. Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased 59% to $6.8 million from $4.3 million for the same period in 2020. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue – device and supply decreased to 20% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from 21% for the same period in 2020.
18
Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased 70% to $20.0 million from $11.8 million for the same period in 2020. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue – device and supply remained at 22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
The increase in cost of revenue is primarily due to an increase in overhead costs related to our new manufacturing and warehouse facility and freight costs, as well as an increase of 70% and 134% in device orders in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
Sales and Marketing Expense
Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of employee related costs, including commissions and other direct costs associated with these personnel including travel expenses and marketing campaign and related expenses.
Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased 39% to $13.1 million from $9.4 million for the same period in 2020. Sales and marketing expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased 86% to $40.7 million from $21.8 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in sales and marketing expense is primarily due to the expansion of our sales force and the related costs associated with increased headcount.
As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense decreased to 38% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 47% for the same period in 2020 primarily due to decelerating our sales force expansion compared to the same period in 2020 during which we hired over 100 sales representatives. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense increased to 45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 40% for the same period in 2020. The increase as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the related costs associated with increased headcount.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee-related costs, and other direct costs associated with these personnel including facilities and travel expenses and professional fees, depreciation and amortization. General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased 39% to $6.8 million from $4.9 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in general and administrative expense for the three months is primarily due to increased compensation and benefit expense related to headcount growth and increased occupancy expense as a result of our corporate headquarters expansion. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense decreased to 20% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 24% for the same period in 2020. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the increase in revenue during the period, partially offset by costs associated with increased headcount from the prior year.
General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased 42% to $18.5 million from $13.0 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in general and administrative expense for the nine months is primarily due to increased compensation and benefit expense related to headcount growth. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense decreased to 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 24% for the same period in 2020. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the increase in revenue during the period, partially offset by costs associated with increased headcount from prior year.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is recorded at the end of each interim period based on the Company’s best estimate of its effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 24% and 23% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Discrete items, primarily related to excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises, of $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, are recognized as a benefit against income tax expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company had an income tax expense of approximately $1.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have historically financed operations through cash flows from operations, debt and equity transactions. At September 30, 2021, our principal source of liquidity was $35.4 million in cash and $24.2 million in accounts receivable.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.6 million compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in inventory in 2021 as well as an increase in receivables balances. The increase in inventory is related to our order growth plus increased stockpiles in anticipation of possible supply chain shortages related to the COVID-19 virus. The increase in receivables is related to increased revenue and slightly longer collection cycles.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily related to leasehold improvements at our new manufacturing and warehouse facilities. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily related to the purchase of office equipment, IT infrastructure, and leasehold improvements related to our expansion into the second floor at our prior corporate headquarters.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $2.8 million compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $25.4 million for the same period in 2020. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to purchases of treasury stock. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to proceeds of $25.2 million from our equity offering, which closed on July 17, 2020.
We believe our cash and cash equivalents, together with anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. In making this assessment, we considered the following:
● | Our cash and cash equivalents balance at September 30, 2021 of $35.4 million; |
● | Our working capital balance of $59.6 million; |
● | Our projected income and cash flows for the next 12 months. |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Please refer to the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements located within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2021.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In December 2019, a novel Coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was reported and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. While the Company did not incur significant disruptions to its operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 from COVID-19, it is unable at this time to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on its
20
business, financial position and operating results in future periods due to numerous uncertainties. The Company has been and continues to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the ordinary course of business, we are exposed to certain market risks, including changes in interest rates. Uncertainties that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable such as political, economic, tax, other regulatory, or credit risks, including healthcare reimbursement practices, are not included in the following assessment of market risks.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO), has evaluated 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 (Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, 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. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, there were no changes that materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect our internal control over financial reporting.
