MERIT MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Other Items. The interim consolidated financial statements of Merit Medical Systems, Inc. ("Merit," "we" or "us") for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are not audited. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements for unaudited interim periods and, consequently, do not include all disclosures required to be made in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of our management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and our results of operations and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full-year period. Percentages and earnings per share amounts presented are calculated from the underlying amounts. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

​

​

2. Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions in accounting for modifications of contracts that reference the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which amends the scope of ASU 2020-04. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 were effective as of March 12, 2020, and the provisions of these updates may be applied prospectively to transactions through December 31, 2022, when reference rate reform activity is expected to be completed. As of June 30, 2021, we had not modified any contracts as a result of reference rate reform. W e are currently assessing the anticipated impact of these standards on our consolidated financial statements.

We currently believe that all other issued and not yet effective accounting standards are not materially relevant to our financial statements.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for these goods. Our revenue recognition policies have not changed from those disclosed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Our revenue is disaggregated based on reporting segment, product category and geographical region. We design, develop, manufacture and market medical products for interventional and diagnostic procedures. For financial reporting purposes, we report our operations in two operating segments: cardiovascular and endoscopy. Our cardiovascular segment consists of four product categories: peripheral intervention, cardiac intervention, custom procedural solutions, and original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”). Within these product categories, we sell a variety of products, including cardiology and radiology devices (which assist in diagnosing and treating coronary arterial disease, peripheral vascular disease and other non-vascular diseases), as well as embolotherapeutic, cardiac rhythm management, electrophysiology, critical care, breast cancer localization and guidance, biopsy, and interventional oncology and spine devices. Our endoscopy segment consists of gastroenterology and pulmonology devices which assist in the palliative treatment of expanding esophageal, tracheobronchial and biliary strictures caused by malignant tumors.

4. Acquisitions. On November 6, 2020, we entered into a unit purchase agreement to acquire KA Medical, LLC (“KA Medical”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the unit purchase agreement, we paid $10.4 million in cash at closing, net of cash acquired, subject to adjustments for working capital and other matters, with additional deferred payments including, $1.5 million paid during the three months ended June 30, 2021, and $2.5 million payable no later than 12 months following the acquisition date. KA Medical developed the Micro PlugTM Set, a self-expanding nitinol vascular occlusion device, which is FDA-cleared in the US and CE marked in Europe. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. The sales and results of operations related to the acquisition have been included in our cardiovascular segment since the acquisition date and were not material. Acquisition-related costs associated with the KA Medical

acquisition, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were not material. The purchase price was preliminarily allocated as follows (in thousands):

​

Total liabilities assumed | ​ |  | (538)
​ | ​ | ​ | ​

​

We are amortizing the developed technology intangible asset acquired through KA Medical over 17 years. The goodwill consists largely of the synergies expected from combining operations and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The pro forma impact of the KA Medical acquisition was not significant to our financial results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020. Operating results attributable to the KA Medical acquisition were included in our consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021.

5. Inventories. Inventories at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of the following (in thousands):

​

Total accumulated goodwill impairment losses aggregated to approximately $8.3 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. We did not have any goodwill impairments for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The total goodwill balance as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was related to our cardiovascular segment.

​

Aggregate amortization expense for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $12.4 million and $24.9 million, respectively. Aggregate amortization expense for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $14.8 million and $29.8 million, respectively.

​

We evaluate long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We perform the impairment analysis at the asset group for which the lowest level of identifiable cash flows is largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. We determine the fair value of our amortizing assets based on estimated future cash flows discounted back to their present value using a discount rate that reflects the risk profiles of the underlying activities. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we identified indicators of impairment associated with certain acquired intangible assets based on our qualitative assessment, which led us to complete an interim quantitative impairment assessment. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, the primary indicator of impairment was our planned discontinuance of the Advocate™ Peripheral Angioplasty Balloon product line, sold under our license agreements with ArraVasc Limited (“ArraVasc”). We recorded an impairment charge for the remaining carrying value of ArraVasc intangible assets of approximately $1.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, all of which pertained to our cardiovascular segment. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, the primary indicator of impairment was our planned closure of our procedural pack business in Australia acquired in our October 2017 acquisition of ITL Healthcare Pty Ltd. (“ITL”). We recorded an impairment charge for ITL intangible assets of approximately $2.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, all of which pertained to our cardiovascular segment. See Note 14 for additional details regarding impairment charges recorded in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

​

Estimated amortization expense for the developed technology and other intangible assets for the next five years consisted of the following as of June 30, 2021 (in thousands):

7. Income Taxes. Our provision for income taxes for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was a tax expense (benefit) of approximately $1.9 million and ($3.2) million, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 28.4% and 14.5%, respectively. Our provision for income taxes for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was a tax expense (benefit) of approximately $3.7 million and ($2.1) million, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 18.8% and 8.6%, respectively. The increase in the income tax expense and the corresponding change in the effective income tax rate for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, when compared to the prior-year periods, was primarily due to a pre-tax loss during the 2020 periods, as well as a change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings. Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the impact of global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) inclusions, state income taxes, foreign taxes, other non-deductible permanent items and discrete items (such as share-based compensation).

Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

​

On July 31, 2019, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Third Amended Credit Agreement"). The Third Amended Credit Agreement is a syndicated loan agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and other parties. The Third Amended Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety our previously outstanding Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and all amendments thereto. The Third Amended Credit Agreement provides for a term loan of $150 million and a revolving credit commitment up to an aggregate amount of $600 million, inclusive of sub-facilities for multicurrency borrowings, standby letters of credit and swingline loans. On July 31, 2024, all principal, interest and other amounts outstanding under the Third Amended Credit Agreement are payable in full. At any time prior to the maturity date, we may repay any amounts owing under all term loans and revolving credit loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, other than breakage fees (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement).

​

Revolving credit loans denominated in dollars and term loans made under the Third Amended Credit Agreement bear interest, at our election, at either the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate (as such terms are defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement). Revolving credit loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement) bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Swingline loans bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement). Interest on each Base Rate loan is due and payable on the last business day of each calendar quarter; interest on each Eurocurrency Rate loan is due and payable on the last day of each interest period applicable thereto, and if such interest period extends over three months, at the end of each three-month interval during such interest period.

​

The Third Amended Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all our assets. The Third Amended Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, representations and warranties, events of default and other terms

customary for loans of this nature. In particular, the Third Amended Credit Agreement requires that we maintain certain financial covenants, as follows:

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | Covenant Requirement | ​
Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (1) |  | ​ | 4.0 to 1.0 | ​
Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (2) |  | ​ | 3.0 to 1.0 | ​
Facility Capital Expenditures (3) | ​ | ​ | $50 million | ​

(1) | Maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement) as of any fiscal quarter end.

(2) | Minimum ratio of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement and adjusted for certain expenditures) to Consolidated interest expense (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters.

(3) | Maximum level of the aggregate amount of all Facility Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement) in any fiscal year.

​

We believe we were in material compliance with all covenants set forth in the Third Amended Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings of approximately $292.7 million under the Third Amended Credit Agreement, with additional available borrowings of approximately $444 million, based on the maximum net leverage ratio and the aggregate revolving credit commitment pursuant to the Third Amended Credit Agreement. Our interest rate as of June 30, 2021 was a fixed rate of 2.12% on $175 million as a result of an interest rate swap (see Note 9) and a variable floating rate of 1.15% on $117.7 million. Our interest rate as of December 31, 2020 was a fixed rate of 2.37% on $175 million as a result of an interest rate swap and a variable floating rate of 1.40% on $176.6 million. The foregoing fixed rates are exclusive of changes in the notional amount and fixed rate associated with our interest rate swaps beginning July 6, 2021 as described in Note 9 and potential future changes in the applicable margin.

Future minimum principal payments on our long-term debt, as of June 30, 2021, were as follows (in thousands):

​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Years Ending | ​ | Future Minimum
December 31, |  | Principal Payments
Remaining 2021 |  | $ | 3,750

9. Derivatives.

General. Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, and we seek to mitigate a portion of the risks attributable to those fluctuations by entering into derivative contracts. The derivatives we use are interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. We recognize derivatives as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, regardless of whether or not hedge accounting is applied. We report cash flows arising from our hedging instruments consistent with the classification of cash flows from the underlying hedged items. Accordingly, cash flows associated with our derivative contracts are classified as operating activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

​

We formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment initially and on an ongoing basis. For qualifying hedges, the change in fair value is deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and recognized in earnings at the same time the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative.

Interest Rate Risk. Our debt bears interest at variable interest rates. Therefore, we are subject to variability in the cash paid for interest expense. In order to mitigate a portion of the risk attributable to that variability, we use a hedging strategy to reduce the variability of cash flows in the interest payments associated with a portion of the variable-rate debt outstanding under our Third Amended Credit Agreement that is solely due to changes in the benchmark interest rate.

Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

​

On August 5, 2016, we entered into a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap with a current notional amount of $175 million with Wells Fargo to fix the one-month LIBOR rate at 1.12%. The variable portion of the interest rate swap is tied to the one-month LIBOR rate (the benchmark interest rate). On a monthly basis, the interest rates under both the interest rate swap and the underlying debt reset, the swap is settled with the counterparty, and interest is paid. The interest rate swap expired on July 6, 2021.

On December 23, 2019, we entered into a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap with a notional amount of $75 million with Wells Fargo to fix the one-month LIBOR rate at 1.71% for the period from July 6, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The variable portion of the interest rate swap is tied to the one-month LIBOR rate (the benchmark interest rate). On a monthly basis, the interest rates under both the interest rate swap and the underlying debt will reset, the swap will be settled with the counterparty, and interest will be paid.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our interest rate swaps qualified as cash flow hedges. The fair value of our interest rate swaps at June 30, 2021 was a liability of approximately $2.8 million, which was partially offset by approximately $0.7 million in deferred taxes. The fair value of our interest rate swaps at December 31, 2020 was a liability of $4.4 million, partially offset by approximately $1.1 million in deferred taxes.

Foreign Currency Risk. We operate on a global basis and are exposed to the risk that our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To reduce the potential effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements on net earnings, we enter into derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency exchange forward contracts with major financial institutions. Our policy is to enter into foreign currency derivative contracts with maturities of up to two years. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to transactions and balances denominated in Chinese Renminbi, Euros, British Pounds, Mexican Pesos, Brazilian Reals, Australian Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars, Swiss Francs, Swedish Krona, Canadian Dollars, Danish Krone, Japanese Yen, and South Korean Won, among others. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We do not believe we are subject to any credit risk contingent features related to our derivative contracts, and we seek to manage counterparty risk by allocating derivative contracts among several major financial institutions.

Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

​

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is temporarily reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and then reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. We entered into forward contracts on various foreign currencies to manage the risk associated with forecasted exchange rates which impact revenues, cost of sales, and operating expenses in various international markets. The objective of the hedges is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the forecasted purchase or sale of the associated foreign currencies.

We enter into approximately 150 cash flow foreign currency hedges every month. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had entered into foreign currency forward contracts, which qualified as cash flow hedges, with aggregate notional amounts of approximately $106.9 million and $168.2 million, respectively.

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

​

We forecast our net exposure in various receivables and payables to fluctuations in the value of various currencies, and we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate that exposure. We enter into approximately 20 foreign currency

fair value hedges every month. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had entered into foreign currency forward contracts related to those balance sheet accounts with aggregate notional amounts of approximately $81.5 million and $74.8 million, respectively.

Balance Sheet Presentation of Derivative Instruments. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all derivative instruments, both those designated as hedging instruments and those that were not designated as hedging instruments, were recorded at fair value on a gross basis on our consolidated balance sheets. We are not subject to any master netting agreements.

10. Commitments and Contingencies.

Loan Commitment. On October 11, 2019, we acquired shares of stock in Selio Medical Limited (“Selio”) representing an ownership interest of approximately 19.5%, as well as an option to purchase all ordinary shares of Selio throughout a 45-day period commencing from the date Selio receives FDA 510(k) approval of a medical device it is currently developing, and an option to purchase all remaining shares of Selio on the third anniversary date of the agreement if we elect to purchase all ordinary shares. We have also made a loan of $250,000 to Selio and committed to provide additional loans of up to €2 million at a rate of 5% per annum until one year and 45 days have passed from the date Selio receives FDA Section 510(k) approval of a medical device it is currently developing. Additional loans made to Selio pursuant to our loan agreement, together with the initial advance and all other amounts owed to us by Selio, would be securitized by Selio’s assets.

​

Deed of Settlement. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, we accrued $6.1 million of contract termination costs in selling, general and administrative expenses to renegotiate certain terms of an acquisition agreement and terminate certain obligations, including the obligation to make potential future payments, pursuant to that agreement.

​

Litigation. In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various proceedings, legal actions and claims. These proceedings, actions and claims may involve product liability, intellectual property, contract disputes, employment, governmental inquiries or other matters, including those more fully described below. The outcomes of these matters will generally not be known for prolonged periods of time. In certain proceedings, the claimants may seek damages as well as other compensatory and equitable relief that could result in the payment of significant claims and settlements and/or the imposition of injunctions or other equitable relief. For legal matters for which our management had sufficient information to reasonably estimate our future obligations, a liability representing management’s best estimate of the probable loss, or the minimum of the range of probable losses when a best estimate within the range is not known, is recorded. The estimates are based on consultation with legal counsel, previous settlement experience and settlement strategies. If actual outcomes are less favorable than those estimated by management, additional expense may be incurred, which could unfavorably affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The ultimate cost to us with respect to such proceedings, actions and claims could be materially different than the amount of the current estimates and accruals and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Securities Litigation

​

On December 5, 2019, the Bucks County Employees Retirement Fund filed a complaint against Merit, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, individually and on behalf of all purchasers of our common stock between February 26, 2019 and October 30, 2019. On February 24, 2020, the court appointed the City of Atlanta Police Pension Fund, the Atlanta Firefighters’ Pension Fund, and the Employees’ Retirement System of the City of Baton Rouge and Parish of East Baton Rouge as Lead Plaintiffs. This action is now captioned In re Merit Medical Systems, Inc. Securities Litigation (Master File No. 8:19-cv-02326-DOC-ADS). On June 30, 2020, Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated class action complaint for violations of federal securities laws against Merit, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, individually and on behalf of all purchasers of our common stock between February 26, 2019 and October 30, 2019. The consolidated class action complaint alleges that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and seeks unspecified damages, costs and attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief. We filed a motion to dismiss the action, which the Court denied. We intend to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. We have not recorded an expense related to this matter because any potential loss is not currently probable or reasonably estimable. Additionally, we cannot presently estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from the matter. It is possible that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matter, or other similar matters, if resolved in a manner unfavorable to us, may be materially adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Shareholder Derivative Action

​

On June 3, 2021, Steffen Maute filed a complaint, derivatively on behalf of Merit, against Merit (as a nominal defendant), our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, our President of EMEA, and certain of our directors in the United States District Court for the District of Utah (Case No. 2:21-cv-00346-DBP). The derivative complaint alleges that the individual defendants violated their fiduciary duties owed to Merit and were unjustly enriched at the expense of and to the detriment of Merit between February 2019 and October 2019, and seeks unspecified damages, costs, and professional fees. We intend to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. We have not recorded an expense related to this matter because any potential loss is not currently probable or reasonably estimable. Additionally, we cannot presently estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from the matter. It is possible that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matter, or other similar matters, if resolved in a manner unfavorable to us, may be materially adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

​

Legal costs for proceedings, legal actions and claims discussed, such as outside counsel fees and expenses, are charged to expense in the period(s) incurred.

Nonqualified Stock Options

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we granted stock options representing 125,850 and 216,494 shares of our common stock, respectively. We use the Black-Scholes methodology to value the stock-based compensation

expense for options. In applying the Black-Scholes methodology to the option grants, the fair value of our stock-based awards granted was estimated using the following assumptions for the periods indicated below:

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Six Months Ended
​ | ​ | June 30,
​ | ​ | 2021 | ​ | 2020
Risk-free interest rate |  | 0.6% |  | 0.5% - 1.7%
Expected option term |  | 4.0 years |  | 4.0 - 5.0 years
Expected dividend yield |  | — |  | —
Expected price volatility |  | 46.7% |  | 38.7% - 43.2%

​

The average risk-free interest rate is determined using the U.S. Treasury rate in effect as of the date of grant, based on the expected term of the stock award. We determine the expected term of the stock options using the historical exercise behavior of employees. The expected price volatility was determined using a weighted average of daily historical volatility of our stock price over the corresponding expected option term and implied volatility based on recent trends of the daily historical volatility. For awards with a vesting period, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, which corresponds to the vesting period.

​

We recognize stock-based compensation expense (net of a forfeiture rate) for those awards which are expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. We estimate the forfeiture rate based on our historical experience and expectations about future forfeitures. As of June 30, 2021, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was approximately $19.9 million, which was expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

​

Stock-Settled Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“Performance Stock Units”)

​

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we granted performance stock units to certain of our executive officers which, as amended, represent up to 128,883 and 127,060 shares of our common stock, respectively. Conversion of the performance stock units occurs at the end of the relevant performance periods, or one year after the agreement date, whichever is later. The conversion ratio is based upon attaining targeted levels of free cash flow (“FCF”) and relative shareholder return as compared to the Russell 2000 Index (“rTSR”), as defined in the award agreements.

​

We use Monte-Carlo simulations to estimate the grant-date fair value of the performance stock units linked to total shareholder return. The fair value of each performance stock unit was estimated as of the grant date using the following assumptions for awards granted in the periods indicated below:

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Six Months Ended |
​ | ​ | June 30, | ​
​ | ​ | 2021 | ​ | 2020 |
Risk-free interest rate |  | 0.1% - 0.3% |  | 1.1% - 1.3% | ​
Remaining performance period |  | 1.8 - 2.8 years |  | 0.8 - 2.8 years | ​
Expected dividend yield |  | — |  | — | ​
Expected price volatility |  | 43.7% - 49.3% |  | 40.2% - 56.1% | ​

​

The risk-free interest rate of return was determined using the U.S. Treasury rate at the time of grant with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the award. The expected volatility was based on a weighted average volatility of our stock price and the average volatility of our compensation peer group's volatilities. The expected dividend yield was assumed to be zero because, at the time of the grant, we had no plans to declare a dividend.

Compensation expense is recognized using the grant-date fair value for the number of shares that are probable of being awarded based on the performance conditions. Each reporting period, this probability assessment is updated, and cumulative catchups are recorded based on the level of FCF that is expected to be achieved. At the end of the performance period, cumulative expense is calculated based on the actual level of FCF achieved. As of June 30, 2021, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-settled performance stock units was approximately $6.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Cash-Settled Performance-Based Share-Based Awards (“Liability Awards”)

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we granted liability awards to our Chief Executive Officer with total target cash incentives of $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. These awards entitle him to a target cash payment based upon attaining targeted levels of FCF and rTSR, as defined in the award agreements. Settlement generally occurs based upon the same performance metrics, vesting period, and performance period as our performance stock units.

The fair value of these awards is remeasured at each reporting period until the awards are settled. These awards are classified as liabilities and reported in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities within our consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2021, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to cash-settled performance-based share-based awards was approximately $2.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Restricted Stock Units

During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we granted restricted stock units to our non-employee directors representing 26,226 and 33,504 shares of our common stock, respectively. The expense recognized for restricted stock units is equal to the closing stock price on the date of grant, which is recognized over the vesting period. Restricted stock units granted to each director are subject to such director’s continued service through the vesting date, which is one year from the date of grant. As of June 30, 2021, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units was approximately $1.6 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.0 year.

13. Segment Reporting. We report our operations in two operating segments: cardiovascular and endoscopy. Our cardiovascular segment consists of four product categories: peripheral intervention, cardiac intervention, custom procedural solutions, and OEM. Within these product categories, we sell a variety of products, including cardiology and radiology devices (which assist in diagnosing and treating coronary arterial disease, peripheral vascular disease and other non-vascular diseases), as well as embolotherapeutic, cardiac rhythm management, electrophysiology, critical care, breast cancer localization and guidance, biopsy, and interventional oncology and spine devices. Our endoscopy segment consists of gastroenterology and pulmonology devices which assist in the palliative treatment of expanding esophageal, tracheobronchial and biliary strictures caused by malignant tumors. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on net sales and operating income.

Certain of our business combinations involve the potential for the payment of future contingent consideration, generally based on a percentage of future product sales or upon attaining specified future revenue or other milestones. The contingent consideration liability is re-measured at the estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized within operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income (loss) for such period. We measure the initial liability and re-measure the liability on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined under

As of June 30, 2021, approximately $20.5 million in contingent consideration liability was included in other long-term obligations and approximately $37.0 million in contingent consideration liability was included in accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, approximately $36.9 million in contingent consideration liability was included in other long-term obligations and approximately $18.8 million in contingent consideration liability was included in accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheet. Cash paid to settle the contingent consideration liability recognized at fair value as of the applicable acquisition date has been reflected as a cash outflow from financing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

The recurring Level 3 measurement of our contingent consideration liabilities included the following significant unobservable inputs at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands):

(1) | Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments. No weighted average is reported for contingent consideration liabilities without a range of unobservable inputs.

​

The contingent consideration liability is re-measured to fair value each reporting period. Significant increases or decreases in projected revenues, based on our most recent internal operational budgets and long-range strategic plans, discount rates or the time until payment is made would have resulted in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Our determination of the fair value of the contingent consideration liability could change in future periods based upon our ongoing evaluation of these significant unobservable inputs. We intend to record any such change in fair value to operating expenses in our consolidated statements of income (loss).

Contingent Payments to Related Parties

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, we made contingent payments of approximately $800,000 to a current director of Merit and former shareholder of Cianna Medical, Inc. (“Cianna Medical”), which we acquired in 2018. We made no such payments during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The terms of the acquisition, including contingent consideration payments, were determined prior to the appointment of the former Cianna Medical shareholder as a Merit director. As a former shareholder of Cianna Medical, the Merit director may be eligible for additional payments for the achievement of sales milestones specified in our merger agreement with Cianna Medical.

Fair Value of Other Assets (Liabilities)

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and trade payables approximate fair value because of the immediate, short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Our long-term debt re-prices frequently due to variable rates and entails no significant changes in credit risk and, as a result, we believe the fair value of long-term debt approximates carrying value. The fair value of assets and liabilities whose carrying value approximates fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents, which use Level 1 inputs.

Impairment Charges

We recognize or disclose the fair value of certain assets, such as non-financial assets, primarily property and equipment, right-of-use operating lease assets, equity investments, intangible assets and goodwill in connection with impairment evaluations. Such assets are reported at carrying value and are not subject to recurring fair value measurements. We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow. All our nonrecurring valuations use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Intangible Assets. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we had losses related to acquired intangible assets of $1.6 and $2.4 million, respectively (see Note 6).

Right of Use Operating Lease Assets. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we identified changes in events and circumstances relating to certain right-of-use (“ROU”) operating lease assets. We compared the anticipated undiscounted cash flows generated by a sublease to the carrying value of the ROU operating lease and related long-lived assets and determined that the carrying values were not recoverable. Consequently, we recorded impairment losses in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 of approximately $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, which is equal to the excess of the carrying value of the assets over their estimated fair value. The impairment losses in both periods were driven primarily by site consolidation decisions and changes in our projected cash flows for the ROU operating lease assets and related long-lived assets, due to changes in the real estate market as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These changes include an increase in the anticipated time to identify lessees, an increase in anticipated lease concessions, and a decrease in the expected lease rates for the properties. The ROU operating lease asset impairment losses in both 2021 and 2020 pertained to our cardiovascular segment.

Equity Investments and Purchase Options. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, we had no losses related to equity investments and purchase options. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 we recorded a charge of $3.5 million due to our write-off of our purchase option to acquire Bluegrass Vascular Technologies, Inc. (“Bluegrass Vascular”) due to our decision not to exercise our option to purchase the company. The write-off of this purchase option pertained to our cardiovascular segment. Our equity investments in privately held companies, including options to acquire these companies, were approximately $12.0 million and $12.0 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which are included within other long-term assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We analyze our investments in privately-held companies to determine if they should be accounted for using the equity method based on our ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the company in which we have invested. Investments not accounted for under the equity method of accounting are accounted for at cost minus impairment, if applicable, plus or minus changes in valuation resulting from observable transactions for identical or similar investments.

Property and Equipment. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, we had losses of $1.3 million related to the measurement of property and equipment at fair value based on the planned discontinuance of the Advocate™ Peripheral Angioplasty Balloon product line, sold under our license agreements with ArraVasc, which pertained to our cardiovascular segment. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, we recorded losses of $359,000 based on restructuring activities associated with changes to our distribution agreement with NinePoint Medical, Inc. (“NinePoint”), which pertained to our endoscopy segment.

Notes Receivable

Our outstanding long-term notes receivable, including accrued interest and our allowance for current expected credit losses, were approximately $1.9 million and $2.2 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, we had an allowance for current expected credit losses of approximately $1.1 million associated with these notes receivable and our contractual obligation to extend credit to Selio. We assess the allowance for current expected credit losses on an individual security basis, due to the limited number of securities, using a probability of default model, which is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of securities, and other security specific factors. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, we adjusted the probability of default for all notes receivable due to changes in current macroeconomic conditions and our expectations of collectability as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The table below presents a rollforward of the allowance for current expected credit losses on our notes receivable for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related condensed notes thereto, which are included in Part I of this report. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may adversely impact our operations and financial results. These risks and uncertainties are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related condensed notes thereto, which are included in Part I of this report.

​

We design, develop, manufacture, market and sell medical products for interventional and diagnostic procedures. For financial reporting purposes, we report our operations in two operating segments: cardiovascular and endoscopy. Our cardiovascular segment consists of four product categories: peripheral intervention, cardiac intervention, custom procedural solutions, and OEM. Within these product categories, we sell a variety of products, including cardiology and radiology devices (which assist in diagnosing and treating coronary arterial disease, peripheral vascular disease and other non-vascular diseases), as well as embolotherapeutic, cardiac rhythm management, electrophysiology, critical care, breast cancer localization and guidance, biopsy, and interventional oncology and spine devices. Our endoscopy segment consists of gastroenterology and pulmonology devices which assist in the palliative treatment of expanding esophageal, tracheobronchial and biliary strictures caused by malignant tumors.

​

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, we reported sales of approximately $280.3 million, up approximately $62.0 million or 28.4%, compared to sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 of approximately $218.4 million. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, we reported sales of approximately $529.2 million, up approximately $67.3 million or 14.6%, compared to sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 of approximately $461.9 million. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, our net sales benefitted approximately $6.2 million and $10.0 million, respectively, from foreign currency fluctuations (net of hedging) assuming applicable foreign exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior-year period.

​

Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 44.3% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to 38.6% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 44.6% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to 40.7% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

​

Net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $4.9 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to net loss of approximately ($19.1) million, or ($0.34) per share, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020. Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $15.9 million, or $0.28 per share, compared to net loss of approximately ($22.2) million, or ($0.40) per share, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Recent Developments and Trends and Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

As discussed in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the global economy and our business. Since early 2020, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, significant volatility in the demand for our products based on the rates of COVID-19 cases, the emergence of new strains or variants of COVID-19, the availability and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccinations, changes to government policies and other consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rapidly changing economic conditions have created and may continue to create global supply chain challenges. We believe we have responded effectively to these challenges; however, they may continue to impact the methods we use to fulfill customer orders and the availability of certain raw materials in future periods. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including

the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to address the pandemic, including the distribution and utilization of vaccines, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

In addition to the trends identified in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview,” our business in 2021 has been impacted, and we believe will continue to be impacted, by the following recent events and trends:

| ● | We have made progress on our Foundations for Growth program, including the following:

| o | SKU rationalization, product line transfers, and manufacturing initiatives,

| o | support function initiatives including corporate communications, finance and IT,

| o | implementation of a new global bonus program to increase alignment throughout the company,

| o | strengthening our senior leadership team and organizational reporting relationships, and

| o | commercial and marketing excellence initiatives, which are expected to begin shortly.

​

| ● | In the three months ended June 30, 2021, we saw measured improvements in the operating environment, particularly in the U.S., where we saw more willingness and receptivity from hospital customers to evaluate new product offerings in recent months.

​

| ● | Internationally, we experienced overall improvement in sales trends during the three months ended June 30, 2021, with notable variation in the pace of recovery across regions of the world, including wide variation within certain geographic regions.

​

| ● | During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we saw continued progress of our Wrapsody ArterioVenous (AV) Access Efficacy Pivotal Study (the “WAVE Study”) of the WRAPSODY™ Endovascular Stent Graft, an investigational device being studied for the treatment of stenosis or occlusion within dialysis outflow circuits. We have identified more than 40 clinical sites for the WAVE study.

​

| ● | As of June 30, 2021, we had cash on hand of approximately $69.7 million and net available borrowing capacity of approximately $444 million.

amortization expense (as certain intangibles from prior acquisitions became fully amortized), decreased obsolescence expense as a percentage of sales, and changes in product mix.

Operating Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased approximately $24.8 million, or 37.1%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the corresponding period of 2020. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 32.7% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to 30.6% for the corresponding period of 2020. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the corresponding period of 2020, labor related costs increased due to higher commissions and bonus expense in the current-year period and temporary salary cuts and furloughs in the prior-year period. We incurred $7.3 million of corporate transformation and restructuring costs, including consulting charges, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 in connection with our Foundations for Growth program, compared to restructuring costs of $1.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020. We also accrued $6.1 million of contract termination costs in SG&A during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 to renegotiate certain terms of an acquisition agreement

SG&A expenses increased approximately $27.0 million, or 18.6%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the corresponding period of 2020. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 32.6% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to 31.5% for the corresponding period of 2020. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to the corresponding period of 2020, labor related costs increased due to higher commissions and bonus expense in the current-year period and temporary salary cuts and furloughs in the prior-year period. We incurred $12.8 million of corporate transformation and restructuring costs, including consulting charges, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 in connection with our Foundations for Growth program, compared to restructuring costs of $3.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. We also accrued $6.1 million of contract termination costs in SG&A during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 to renegotiate certain terms of an acquisition agreement

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 were approximately $17.6 million, up 25.4%, when compared to R&D expenses in the corresponding period of 2020 of approximately $14.0 million. R&D expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 were approximately $33.9 million, up 17.2%, when compared to R&D expenses in the corresponding period of 2020 of approximately $28.9 million. The increase in R&D expenses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 compared to the corresponding periods in 2020 was largely due to increased clinical expenses for certain R&D projects (including the WAVE study), increased compensation expense due to temporary salary cuts and furloughs in the prior-year periods, and higher expenses related to implementation of the Medical Device Regulation in the European Union.

Legal Settlement. We recorded a settlement in the first six months of 2020 of $18.2 million in connection with an agreement in principle with the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) to fully resolve the DOJ’s investigation of certain marketing and promotional practices.

Impairment Charges. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, we recorded impairment charges of approximately $4.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively. These impairments included $1.6 million of intangible assets and $1.3 million of property and equipment due to the planned discontinuance of the Advocate™ Peripheral Angioplasty Balloon product line, sold under our license agreements with ArraVasc, and $1.4 million of impairments of certain right-of-use “ROU” operating lease assets due to site consolidation decisions and changes in our projected cash flows for the underlying assets.

For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 we recorded impairment charges of approximately $3.9 million and $7.7 million, respectively. These impairments included a $3.5 million write-off in the first quarter of 2020 of our purchase option to acquire Bluegrass Vascular due to our decision not to exercise the option, $0.4 million impairment in the first quarter of 2020 of property and equipment related to our distribution agreement with NinePoint, $2.4 million impairment in the second quarter of 2020 of the customer list intangible asset from our ITL acquisition, and $1.5 million impairment in the second quarter of 2020 of a certain ROU operating lease asset associated with site consolidation decisions and changes in our projected cash flows for the underlying asset.

Contingent Consideration Expense. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, we recognized contingent consideration expense from changes in the estimated fair value of our contingent consideration obligations stemming from our previously disclosed business acquisitions of approximately $1.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively, compared to contingent consideration expense of $0.3 million and $5.2 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020. Expense in each period relates to changes in the probability and timing of achieving certain revenue and operational milestones, as well as expense for the passage of time.

Cardiovascular Operating Income (Loss). Our cardiovascular operating income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $6.8 million, compared to cardiovascular operating loss in the corresponding period of 2020 of approximately ($20.5) million. The increase in cardiovascular operating income during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the corresponding period of 2020 was primarily a result of higher sales ($272.3 million compared to $212.2 million), higher gross margin, and the $18.2 million legal settlement expense related to the DOJ inquiry recorded in the prior-year period, partially offset by increased SG&A and R&D expenses and higher contingent consideration expense.

Our cardiovascular operating income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $19.0 million, compared to cardiovascular operating loss in the corresponding period of 2020 of approximately ($19.0) million. The increase in cardiovascular operating income during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the corresponding period of 2020 was primarily a result of higher sales ($513.3 million compared to $447.7 million), higher gross margin, lower contingent consideration expense, lower impairment expense ($4.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to $7.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2020) and the $18.2 million legal settlement expense related to the DOJ inquiry recorded in the prior-year period, partially offset by increased SG&A and R&D expenses.

Endoscopy Operating Income. Our endoscopy operating income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $2.1 million, compared to endoscopy operating income of approximately $1.5 million for the corresponding period of 2020. This increase in endoscopy operating income was primarily a result of higher sales, partially offset by increased operating expenses (due in part to temporary salary reductions and furloughs during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020).

Our endoscopy operating income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $4.1 million, compared to endoscopy operating income of approximately $1.3 million for the corresponding period of 2020. This increase in endoscopy operating income was primarily a result of higher sales, improved gross margins (largely a result of the write-off of inventory related to the suspension of our distribution agreement with NinePoint in the first quarter of 2020, which did not repeat in the first quarter of 2021), decreased impairment expense (none in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to approximately $0.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020) and decreased operating expenses (primarily related to travel and advertising).

Other Expense

Our other expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately ($2.0) million and ($3.3) million, respectively. The change in other expense was primarily related to decreased interest expense as a result of a lower effective interest rate and a lower average debt balance.

Our other expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately ($3.5) million and ($6.7) million, respectively. The change in other expense was primarily related to decreased interest expense as a result of a lower effective interest rate and a lower average debt balance, as well as an increase in interest income due to partial recoveries of loan interest from NinePoint which had previously been written off.

Effective Tax Rate

Our provision for income taxes for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was a tax expense (benefit) of approximately $1.9 million and ($3.2) million, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 28.4% and 14.5%, respectively. Our provision for income taxes for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was a tax expense (benefit) of approximately $3.7 million and ($2.1) million, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 18.8% and 8.6%, respectively. The increase in the income tax expense and the corresponding change in the effective income tax rate for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, when compared to the prior-year periods, was primarily due to a pre-tax loss during the 2020 period, as well as a change in the jurisdictional mix of earnings. Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the impact of GILTI inclusions, state income taxes, foreign taxes, other non-deductible permanent items, and discrete items (such as share-based compensation).

​

Net Income (Loss)

Our net income (loss) for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $4.9 million and ($19.1) million, respectively. This increase in our net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 was the result of several factors, including increased sales and improved gross margins, the $18.2 million legal settlement related to the DOJ inquiry recorded in the prior-year period and lower interest expense, partially offset by increased SG&A expenses, which included $6.1 million of contract termination costs, increased R&D expenses and higher contingent consideration expense ($1.8 million compared to $0.3 million).

Our net income (loss) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $15.9 million and ($22.2) million, respectively. This increase in our net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was the result of several factors, including increased sales and improved gross margins, the $18.2 million legal settlement related to the DOJ inquiry recorded in the prior-year period, lower impairment expense ($4.3 million compared to $7.7 million), lower contingent consideration expense ($2.2 million compared to $5.2 million) and lower interest expense, partially offset by increased SG&A expenses, which included $6.1 million of contract termination costs, and increased R&D expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

​

Capital Commitments, Contractual Obligations and Cash Flows

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our current assets exceeded current liabilities by $239.2 million and $244.7 million, respectively, and we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $69.7 million and $56.9 million, respectively, of which approximately $64.2 million and $42.3 million, respectively, were held by foreign subsidiaries. We currently believe future repatriation of cash and other property held by our foreign subsidiaries will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. As a result, we are not permanently reinvested with respect to our historic unremitted foreign earnings. In addition, cash held by our subsidiary in China is subject to local laws and regulations that require government approval for the transfer of such funds to entities located outside of China. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $34.9 million and $15.5 million, respectively, within our subsidiary in China.

Cash flows provided by operating activities. We generated cash from operating activities of approximately $76.4 million and $73.2 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $3.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. Significant factors affecting operating cash flows during these periods included:

| ● | Net income (loss) was approximately $15.9 million and ($22.2) million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

| ● | Cash provided by (used for) accounts receivable was approximately ($7.8) million and $15.3 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, due primarily to increased sales volume during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the corresponding period of 2020.

| ● | Cash provided by accrued expenses was approximately $9.2 million and $19.7 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Cash provided by accrued expenses in 2021 was due primarily to an increase in compensation-related accruals and an increase in accrued incentives from improved sales levels during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, and in 2020 was due primarily to accruals associated with the DOJ legal settlement of $18.2 million.

Cash flows used in investing activities. We used cash in investing activities of approximately $15.3 million and $27.4 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We used cash for capital expenditures of property and equipment of approximately $12.8 million and $25.8 million in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Capital expenditures in each period were primarily related to investment in facilities and property and equipment to support development and production of our products, and in 2020, these investments included construction of a new manufacturing and research and development facility in South Jordan, Utah completed in early 2020. Historically, we have incurred significant expenses in connection with facility construction, production automation, product development and the introduction of new products. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $40 million in 2021 for buildings, property and equipment.

Cash outflows invested in acquisitions for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 were approximately $1.8 million and were primarily related to our settlement of the first deferred payment for our acquisition of KA Medical completed in November 2020.

Cash flows used in financing activities. Cash used in financing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $48.1 million and $39.2 million, respectively. We decreased our net borrowings by approximately $58.9 and $29.1 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2021, respectively, by paying down our debt. In 2020, we completed payment of contingent consideration of $12.9 million, which is classified as a financing activity, principally related to our acquisition of Cianna Medical, Inc.

As of June 30, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings of approximately $293 million under the Third Amended Credit Agreement, with additional available borrowings of approximately $444 million, based on the maximum net leverage ratio and the aggregate revolving credit commitment pursuant to the Third Amended Credit Agreement. Our interest rate as of June 30, 2021 was a fixed rate of 2.12% on $175 million as a result of an interest rate swap and a variable floating rate of 1.15% on $117.7 million. After the expiration of our August 5, 2016 interest rate swap on July 6, 2021, the portion of our debt with a fixed interest rate decreased to $75 million, with the fixed rate increasing to 2.71% (see Note 9 to our Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this report). Our interest rate as of December 31, 2020 was a fixed rate of 2.37% on $175 million as a result of an interest rate swap and a variable floating rate of 1.40% on $176.6 million.

We currently believe that our existing cash balances, anticipated future cash flows from operations and borrowings under the Third Amended Credit Agreement will be adequate to fund our current and currently planned future operations for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future. In the event we pursue and complete significant transactions or acquisitions in the future, additional funds will likely be required to meet our strategic needs, which may require us to raise additional funds in the debt or equity markets.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures for our company. Consequently, our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of June 30, 2021. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized 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 must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that 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 Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

See Note 10 “Commitments and Contingencies” set forth in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to other information set forth in this report, readers should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated and supplemented below. Any of the risk factors disclosed in our reports could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described here and in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results, particularly in light of the precarious and unpredictable nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, containment measures, the potential for future waves of outbreaks and the related impacts to economic and operating conditions.
