NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, in thousands except per share amounts)
Note 1 – Operations
CONMED Corporation (“CONMED”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a medical technology company that provides surgical devices and equipment for minimally invasive procedures. The Company’s products are used by surgeons and physicians in a variety of specialties including orthopedics, general surgery, gynecology, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery and gastroenterology.
Note 2 - Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. The information herein reflects all normal recurring material adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statements of the results for the periods presented. The consolidated condensed financial statements herein consist of all wholly-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. Results for the period ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.
The consolidated condensed financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Note 3 - Business Acquisition
On February 11, 2019 we acquired Buffalo Filter, LLC and all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Palmerton Holdings, Inc. from Filtration Group FGC LLC (the "Buffalo Filter Acquisition") for approximately $365 million in cash. Buffalo Filter develops, manufactures and markets smoke evacuation technologies that are complementary to our general surgery offering. The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and long-term borrowings as further described below.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the Buffalo Filter Acquisition. The assessment of fair value is based on preliminary valuations and estimates that were available to management at the time the consolidated condensed financial statements were prepared. Accordingly, the allocation of purchase price is preliminary and therefore subject to adjustment during the measurement adjustment period.

Cash | $ | 119 |
Other current assets | 9,315 |
Current assets | 9,434 |
Property, plant & equipment | 4,036 |
Deferred income taxes | 80 |
Goodwill | 214,793 |

Developed technology | 9,000 |
Trademarks & tradenames | 7,000 |
Other non-current assets | 166 |
Total assets acquired | $ | 369,509 |
Current liabilities assumed | 4,462 |
Total liabilities assumed | 4,462 |
Net assets acquired | $ | 365,047 |

Table of Contents
The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition primarily represents revenue synergies, as well as operating efficiencies and cost savings. Goodwill deductible for tax purposes is $214.8 million. The weighted amortization period for intangibles acquired is 16 years. Customer relationships, developed technology and trademarks and tradenames are being amortized over a weighted average life of 16, 10 and 20 years, respectively.
The unaudited pro forma information for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, assuming Buffalo Filter Acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2018 are presented below. This information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which actually would have resulted had the Buffalo Filter acquisition occurred on the dates indicated, or which may result in the future.

| Three Months Ended March 31,
| 2019 |  | 2018
Net sales | $ | 223,397 |  |  | $ | 211,273 |
Net income (loss) | 8,745 |  |  | (3,210 | )

These pro forma results include certain adjustments, primarily due to increases in amortization expense due to fair value adjustments of intangible assets, increases in interest expense due to additional borrowings incurred to finance the acquisition and amortization of debt issuance costs incurred to finance the transaction, and acquisition related costs including transaction costs such as legal, accounting, valuation and other professional services as well as integration costs such as severance and retention.
Acquisition related costs included in the determination of pro forma net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 included $0.7 million in cost of goods sold and $7.2 million included in selling and administrative expenses on the consolidated condensed statement of comprehensive income. Such amounts are excluded from the determination of pro forma net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Net sales associated with Buffalo Filter of $6.1 million have been recorded in the consolidated condensed statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2019. It is impracticable to determine the earnings recorded in the consolidated condensed statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as these amounts are not separately measured.

Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only. We operate internationally and in the normal course of business are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. We use forward contracts, a type of derivative instrument, to manage certain foreign currency exposures.
By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. We enter into forward contracts with major investment grade financial institutions and have policies to monitor the credit risk of those counterparties. While there can be no assurance, we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of these counterparties.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts. We hedge forecasted intercompany sales denominated in foreign currencies through the use of forward contracts. We account for these forward contracts as cash flow hedges. To the extent these forward contracts meet hedge accounting criteria, changes in their fair value are not included in current earnings but are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. These changes in fair value will be recognized into earnings as a component of sales or cost of sales when the forecasted transaction occurs.
We also enter into forward contracts to exchange foreign currencies for United States dollars in order to hedge our currency transaction exposures. These forward contracts settle each month at month-end, at which time we enter into new forward contracts. We have not designated these forward contracts as hedges and have not applied hedge accounting to them.
The following table presents the notional contract amounts for forward contracts outstanding:

Our forward foreign exchange contracts are subject to a master netting agreement and qualify for netting in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.
Fair Value Disclosure. FASB guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and related disclosure requirements. This guidance applies when fair value measurements are required or permitted. The guidance indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value is defined based upon an exit price model.
Valuation Hierarchy. A valuation hierarchy was established for disclosure of the inputs to the valuations used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There have been no significant changes in the assumptions.
Valuation Techniques. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 consist of forward foreign exchange contracts. The Company values its forward foreign exchange contracts using quoted prices for similar assets. The most significant assumption is quoted currency rates. The value of the forward foreign exchange contract assets and liabilities were valued using Level 2 inputs and are listed in the table above.

Note 7 - Inventories
Inventories consist of the following:

| March 31, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
Raw materials | $ | 49,366 |  |  | $ | 45,898 |
Work-in-process | 18,476 |  |  | 15,000 |
Finished goods | 103,245 |  |  | 93,701 |
Total | $ | 171,087 |  |  | $ | 154,599 |

Note 8 – Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share (“diluted EPS”) gives effect to all dilutive potential shares outstanding resulting from employee stock options, restricted stock units, performance share units and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") during the period.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

| Three Months Ended March 31,
| 2019 |  | 2018
Net income | $ | 1,021 |  |  | $ | 10,657 |
Basic – weighted average shares outstanding | 28,173 |  |  | 28,008 |
Effect of dilutive potential securities | 861 |  |  | 565 |
Diluted – weighted average shares outstanding | 29,034 |  |  | 28,573 |
Net income (per share) |  |  |  |  |
Basic | $ | 0.04 |  |  | $ | 0.38 |
Diluted | 0.04 |  |  | 0.37 |

The shares used in the calculation of diluted EPS exclude options and SARs to purchase shares where the exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares for the period and the effect of the inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Such shares aggregated approximately 0.3 million and 0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. As more fully described in Note 17, our 2.625% convertible notes due in 2024 (the “Notes”) are convertible under certain circumstances, as defined in the indenture, into a combination of cash and CONMED common stock. As a result of convertible note hedge transactions, potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes occurs when the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the convertible note hedge transactions, is greater than the strike price of the convertible note hedge transactions ($114.92). As of March 31, 2019, our share price has not exceeded the strike price of the convertible note hedge transactions. Therefore, under the net share settlement method, there were no potential shares issuable under the Notes to be used in the calculation of diluted EPS.

Note 9 – Leases
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019 and applied the modified retrospective approach to adoption whereby the standard is applied only to the current period. The Company leases various manufacturing facilities, office facilities and equipment under operating and finance leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of our leases include variable lease payments, mainly when a lease is tied to an index rate. These variable lease payments are recorded as expense in the period incurred and are not material.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which we account for separately. For certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to efficiently account for the operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities. We also elected the short-term lease exemption and do not recognize leases with terms less than one year on the balance sheet. The related short-term lease expense is not material.
Our leases have remaining lease terms of one year to twelve years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year. We only account for such extensions or early terminations when it is reasonably certain we will exercise such options.
Lease costs consists of the following:

The Company places certain of our capital equipment with customers on a loaned basis and at no charge in exchange for commitments to purchase related single-use products over time periods generally ranging from one to three years. Placed equipment is loaned and subject to return if minimum single-use purchases are not met. The Company accounts for these placements as operating leases but applies a practical expedient and does not separate the nonlease and lease components from the combined component. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the combined component as a single performance obligation with revenue recognized upon shipment of the related single use-products. The cost of the equipment is amortized over its estimated useful life which is generally five years.
Note 10 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:

Balance as of December 31, 2018 | $ | 400,440 |
Goodwill resulting from business acquisition | 214,793 |
Foreign currency translation | (81 | )
Balance as of March 31, 2019 | $ | 615,152 |

Assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company acquired Buffalo Filter as further described in Note 3. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition amounted to $214.8 million and acquired intangible assets including customer and distributor relationships, developed technology and trademarks and tradenames amounted to $141.0 million.

Customer and distributor relationships, trademarks and tradenames, developed technology and patents and other intangible assets primarily represent allocations of purchase price to identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Sales representation, marketing and promotional rights represent intangible assets created under our agreement with Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (“MTF”).
Amortization expense related to intangible assets which are subject to amortization totaled $7.4 million and $5.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is included as a reduction of revenue (for amortization related to our sales representation, marketing and promotional rights) and in selling and administrative expense (for all other intangible assets) in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income. Included in developed technology is $5.5 million of earn-out consideration that is considered probable as of March 31, 2019 associated with a prior asset acquisition. This is recorded in other current liabilities at March 31, 2019.
The estimated intangible asset amortization expense remaining for the year ending December 31, 2019 and for each of the five succeeding years is as follows:

We provide warranties on certain of our products at the time of sale and sell extended warranties. The standard warranty period for our capital equipment is generally 1 year and our extended warranties typically vary from one to three years. Liability under service and warranty policies is based upon a review of historical warranty and service claim experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and historical experience warrant.
Changes in the carrying amount of service and product standard warranties for the three months ended March 31, are as follows:

Note 15 – Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are subject to claims alleging product liability, patent infringement or other claims incurred in the ordinary course of business. These may involve our United States or foreign operations, or sales by foreign distributors. Likewise, from time to time, the Company may receive an information request or subpoena from a government agency such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, Department of Justice, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Department of Labor, the Treasury Department or other federal and state agencies or foreign governments or government agencies. These information requests or subpoenas may or may not be routine inquiries, or may begin as routine inquiries and over time develop into enforcement actions of various types. Likewise, we receive reports of alleged misconduct from employees and third parties, which we investigate as appropriate.
17

Table of Contents
Manufacturers of medical devices have been the subject of various enforcement actions relating to interactions with health care providers domestically or internationally whereby companies are claimed to have provided health care providers with inappropriate incentives to purchase their products. Similarly, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") imposes obligations on manufacturers with respect to interactions with health care providers who may be considered government officials based on their affiliation with public hospitals. The FCPA also requires publicly listed manufacturers to maintain accurate books and records, and maintain internal accounting controls sufficient to provide assurance that transactions are accurately recorded, lawful and in accordance with management's authorization. The FCPA poses unique challenges both because manufacturers operate in foreign cultures in which conduct illegal under the FCPA may not be illegal in local jurisdictions, and because, in some cases, a United States manufacturer may face risks under the FCPA based on the conduct of third parties over whom the manufacturer may not have complete control. While CONMED has not experienced any material enforcement action to date, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to a material enforcement action in the future, or that the Company will not incur costs including, in the form of fees for lawyers and other consultants, that are material to the Company’s results of operations in the course of responding to a future inquiry or investigation.
Manufacturers of medical products may face exposure to significant product liability claims. To date, we have not experienced any product liability claims that have been material to our financial statements or financial condition, but any such claims arising in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows. We currently maintain commercial product liability insurance of $30 million per incident and $30 million in the aggregate annually, which we believe is adequate. This coverage is on a claims-made basis. There can be no assurance that claims will not exceed insurance coverage, that the carriers will be solvent or that such insurance will be available to us in the future at a reasonable cost.
We record reserves sufficient to cover probable and estimable losses associated with any such pending claims. We do not expect that the resolution of any pending claims, investigations or reports of alleged misconduct will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that future claims or investigations, or the costs associated with responding to such claims, investigations or reports of misconduct, especially claims and investigations not covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Our operations are subject, and in the past have been subject, to a number of environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, air emissions; wastewater discharges; the use, handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes; soil and groundwater remediation and employee health and safety. In some jurisdictions, environmental requirements may be expected to become more stringent in the future. In the United States, certain environmental laws can impose liability for the entire cost of site restoration upon each of the parties that may have contributed to conditions at the site regardless of fault or the lawfulness of the party’s activities. While we do not believe that the present costs of environmental compliance and remediation are material, there can be no assurance that future compliance or remedial obligations would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In 2014, the Company acquired EndoDynamix, Inc. The agreement governing the terms of the acquisition provides that, if various conditions are met, certain contingent payments relating to the first commercial sale of the products (the milestone payment), as well as royalties based on sales (the revenue based payments), are due to the seller. In 2016, we notified the seller that there was a need to redesign the product, and that, as a consequence, the first commercial sale had been delayed. Consequently, the payment of contingent milestone and revenue-based payments were delayed. On January 18, 2017, the seller provided notice ("the Notice") seeking $12.7 million, which essentially represents the seller's view as to the sum of the projected contingent milestone and revenue-based payments on an accelerated basis. CONMED responded to the Notice denying that there was any basis for acceleration of the payments due under the acquisition agreement. On February 22, 2017, the representative of the former shareholders of EndoDynamix filed a complaint in Delaware Chancery Court claiming breach of contract with respect to the duty to commercialize the product and seeking the contingent payments on an accelerated basis. We believe that there was a substantive contractual basis to support the Company's decision to redesign the product, such that there was no legitimate basis for seeking the acceleration of the contingent payments at that time. In the third quarter of 2018, the Company decided to halt the development of the EndoDynamix clip applier. While we previously recorded a charge to write off assets and released a previously accrued contingent consideration liability, we expect to defend the claims asserted by the sellers of EndoDynamix in the Delaware Court, although there can be no assurance that we will prevail in the litigation.
Note 16 – New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), along with amendments
18

Table of Contents
issued in 2017 and 2018. This ASU requires lessees to record leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expense on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. ASU 2016-02 states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use ("ROU") asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term.
The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019, and applied the modified retrospective approach along with the package of transition practical expedients. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which we account for separately. For certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to efficiently account for the operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities. We also elected the short-term lease exemption and do not recognize leases with terms less than one year on the balance sheet. The related short-term lease expense is not material. On January 1, 2019, we recorded initial right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, that were previously unrecorded under prior GAAP, of $17.9 million. Operating lease ROU assets are included in other assets and lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities. Our accounting for finance leases, which were capital leases under prior GAAP, remained substantially unchanged. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets. This update did not have a material impact on our net income, earnings per share or cash flows. Refer to Note 9 for further detail on leases.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This ASU makes more financial and non-financial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess effectiveness. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this update on January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the SEC adopted a final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, that amends certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. The amendments also expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of shareholders' equity for interim financial statements, in which registrants must now analyze changes in shareholders’ equity, in the form of reconciliation, for the current and comparative year-to-date periods, with subtotals for each interim period. This final rule was effective on November 5, 2018. The Company adopted all relevant disclosure requirements during the fourth quarter of 2018, with the exception of the shareholders’ equity interim disclosures, which was allowed to be adopted as of January 1, 2019.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which requires instruments measured at amortized cost, including accounts receivable, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new model requires an entity to estimate credit losses based on historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019 and early adoption is permissible during any interim period after December 31, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Total long-term debt | $ | 803,555 |  |  | $ | 438,564 |

On February 7, 2019 we entered into a sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement consisting of: (a) a $265.0 million term loan facility and (b) a $585.0 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility will terminate and the loans outstanding under the term loan facility will expire on the earlier of (i) February 7, 2024 or (ii) 91 days prior to the earliest scheduled maturity date of the 2.625% convertible notes due in 2024 described below, (if, as of such date, more than $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of such convertible notes (or any refinancing thereof) remains outstanding). The term loan facility is payable in quarterly installments increasing over the term of the facility. Proceeds from the term loan facility and borrowings under the revolving credit facility were used to repay the then existing senior credit agreement and in part to finance the acquisition of Buffalo Filter. Initial interest rates are at LIBOR plus an interest rate margin of 1.875% (4.375% at March 31, 2019). For those borrowings where we elect to use the alternate base rate, the initial base rate will be the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or (iii) the one-month Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, an interest rate margin.
There were $265.0 million in borrowings outstanding on the term loan facility as of March 31, 2019. There were $269.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2019. Our available borrowings on the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2019 were $313.0 million with approximately $3.0 million of the facility set aside for outstanding letters of credit.
The sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement is collateralized by substantially all of our personal property and assets. The sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement contains covenants and restrictions which, among other things, require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrict dividend payments and the incurrence of certain indebtedness and other activities, including acquisitions and dispositions. We were in full compliance with these covenants and restrictions as of March 31, 2019. We are also required, under certain circumstances, to make mandatory prepayments from net cash proceeds from any issuance of equity and asset sales.
On January 29, 2019, we issued $345.0 million in 2.625% convertible notes due in 2024 (the "Notes"). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2019. The Notes will mature on February 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased or converted. The Notes represent subordinated unsecured obligations and are convertible under certain circumstances, as defined in the indenture, into a combination of cash and CONMED common stock. The Notes may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 11.2608 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $88.80 per share of common stock). Holders of the Notes may convert their Notes at their option at any time on or after November 1, 2023 through the second scheduled trading day preceding the maturity date. Holders of their Notes will also have the right to convert the Notes prior to November 1, 2023, but only upon the occurrence of specified events. The conversion rate is subject to anti-dilution adjustments if certain events occur. A portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the notes were used as part of the financing for the Buffalo Filter acquisition and $21.0 million were used to pay the cost of certain convertible notes hedge transactions as further described below.
Our effective borrowing rate for nonconvertible debt at the time of issuance of the Notes was estimated to be 6.14%, which resulted in $51.6 million of the $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes issued, or $39.1 million after taxes, being attributable to equity. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we have recorded interest expense related to the amortization of debt discount on the Notes of $1.5 million at the effective interest rate of 6.14%. The debt discount on the Notes is being amortized through February 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we have recorded interest expense on the Notes of $1.6 million, at the contractual coupon rate of 2.625%.
20

Table of Contents
In connection with the offering of the Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions with a number of financial institutions (each, an “option counterparty”). The convertible note hedge transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of shares of our common stock underlying the Notes. Concurrently with entering into the convertible note hedge transactions, we also entered into separate warrant transactions with each option counterparty whereby we sold to such option counterparty warrants to purchase, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the same number of shares of our common stock.
The convertible note hedge transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the convertible note hedge transactions, is greater than the strike price ($114.92) of the convertible note hedge transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the Notes. If, however, the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the warrant transactions, exceeds the strike price of the warrants, there would nevertheless be dilution to the extent that such market price exceeds the strike price of the warrants, unless we elect to settle the warrants in cash.
We have a mortgage note outstanding in connection with the Largo, Florida property and facilities bearing interest at 8.25% per annum with semiannual payments of principal and interest through June 2019. The principal balance outstanding on the mortgage note aggregated $0.8 million at March 31, 2019. The mortgage note is collateralized by the Largo, Florida property and facilities.
The scheduled maturities of long-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2019 are as follows:

Remaining, 2019 | $ | 10,773 |
2020 | 13,250 |
2021 | 18,219 |
2022 | 24,844 |
2023 | 467,750 |

Overview
CONMED Corporation (“CONMED”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a medical technology company that provides surgical devices and equipment for minimally invasive procedures. The Company’s products are used by surgeons and physicians in a variety of specialties including orthopedics, general surgery, gynecology, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery and gastroenterology.
Our product lines consist of orthopedic surgery and general surgery. Orthopedic surgery consists of sports medicine instrumentation and small bone, large bone and specialty powered surgical instruments as well as imaging systems for use in minimally invasive surgery procedures including 2DHD and 3DHD vision technologies and service fees related to the promotion

and marketing of sports medicine allograft tissue. General surgery consists of a complete line of endo-mechanical instrumentation for minimally invasive laparoscopic and gastrointestinal procedures, a line of cardiac monitoring products as well as electrosurgical generators and related instruments. These product lines as a percentage of consolidated net sales are as follows:

| Three Months Ended March 31,
| 2019 |  | 2018
Orthopedic surgery | 52 | % |  | 54 | %
General surgery | 48 | % |  | 46 | %
Consolidated net sales | 100 | % |  | 100 | %

A significant amount of our products are used in surgical procedures with approximately 79% of our revenues derived from the sale of single-use products. Our capital equipment offerings also facilitate the ongoing sale of related disposable products and accessories, thus providing us with a recurring revenue stream. We manufacture substantially all of our products in facilities located in the United States and Mexico. We market our products both domestically and internationally directly to customers and through distributors. International sales approximated 46% and 47% during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Business Environment
On February 11, 2019 we acquired Buffalo Filter, LLC and all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Palmerton Holdings, Inc. from Filtration Group FGC LLC (the "Buffalo Filter Acquisition") for approximately $365 million in cash. Buffalo Filter develops, manufactures and markets smoke evacuation technologies that are complementary to our general surgery offering. See Note 3 to the consolidated condensed financial statements for further information on this business acquisition. The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and long-term borrowings as further described below.
We financed the purchase price for the Buffalo Filter Acquisition using a combination of the issuance of $345.0 million of 2.625% convertible notes due 2024 issued on January 29, 2019 (the Convertible Notes”) and the incurrence of indebtedness under our sixth amended and restated senior secured credit agreement, which closed on February 7, 2019. Refer to Financing Cash Flows and Note 17 to the consolidated condensed financial statements for further details.
Critical Accounting Policies
Preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2018 describes the significant accounting policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the critical accounting policies used to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, those related to:

• | inventory valuation; and

• | goodwill and intangible assets.

See Note 9 and Note 16 to the consolidated condensed financial statements for updates to our accounting policy resulting from the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is codified in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842.

• | Orthopedic surgery sales increased 4.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to continued growth in our powered instrument offerings driven by the introduction of new products.

• | General surgery sales increased 12.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2019 driven by $6.1 million in sales from the Buffalo Filter acquisition, continued strong AirSeal® sales and new product introductions.

Table of Contents
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased to $96.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $92.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018. Gross profit margins increased 1.4 percentage points to 55.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 54.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in gross profit margins of 1.4 percentage points in the three months ended March 31, 2019 was mainly a result of favorable inventory variances in the current year (1.7 percentage points) offset by a $0.7 million (0.3 percentage points) charge related to inventory adjustments associated with the Buffalo Filter Acquisition as further described in Note 13.
Selling and Administrative Expense
Selling and administrative expense increased to $99.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $84.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018. Selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales increased to 45.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 41.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2018.
The 3.5 percentage point increase in selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period a year ago is mainly due to costs related to the Buffalo Filter Acquisition, including $7.2 million for investment banking fees, consulting fees, legal fees and integration related costs as further described in Note 3 and Note 13.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense increased to $10.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $7.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expense increased 1.0 percentage point to 4.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 3.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase resulted from our continued efforts to increase new product development.
Other Expense
Other expense in the three months ended March 31, 2019 mainly related to costs associated with our sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement entered into on February 7, 2019 as further described in Note 17. These costs include a $3.6 million charge related to commitment fees paid to certain of our lenders, which provided a financing commitment for the Buffalo Filter acquisition, and a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $9.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $4.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 due the additional borrowings under the sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement and the issuance of $345.0 million in 2.625% convertible notes due in 2024, as further described in Note 17. The weighted average interest rates on our borrowings increased to 3.97% in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 3.93% in the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax benefit has been recorded at an effective tax rate of 152.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to income tax expense recorded at an effective tax rate of 14.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The higher effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily the result of recording discrete income tax benefits associated with stock options and other federal income tax items which increased the effective rate by 120.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to a reduction of 17.4% for discrete items during the three months ended March 31, 2018. In addition, the lower federal statutory tax rate of 21% enacted with Tax Reform was offset by other provisions of Tax Reform including global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as well as income earned in foreign jurisdictions with effective tax rates in excess of the federal statutory rate. A reconciliation of the United States statutory income tax rate to our effective tax rate is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, under Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Net sales on an "constant currency" basis is a non-GAAP measure. The Company analyzes net sales on a constant currency basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. To measure percentage sales growth in constant currency,
25

Table of Contents
the Company removes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates that affect the comparability and trend of net sales.
Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare this financial measure with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. This adjusted financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported net sales growth, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is an additional way of viewing net sales that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of our business. The Company strongly encourages investors and shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity needs arise primarily from capital investments, working capital requirements and payments on indebtedness under the sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement, described below. We have historically met these liquidity requirements with funds generated from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In addition, we have historically used term borrowings, including borrowings under the sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement, the issuance of convertible notes, and borrowings under separate loan facilities, in the case of real property purchases, to finance our acquisitions. We also have the ability to raise funds through the sale of stock or we may issue debt through a private placement or public offering. Management believes that cash flow from operations, including cash and cash equivalents on hand and available borrowing capacity under our sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement, will be adequate to meet our anticipated operating working capital requirements, debt service, funding of capital expenditures and common stock repurchases in the foreseeable future.
Operating cash flows
Our net working capital position was $239.4 million at March 31, 2019. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $(3.9) million and $25.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, generated on net income of $1.0 million and $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The decrease in cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period a year ago is primarily due to the following:

• | Lower net income in 2019 compared to 2018 due to costs incurred in conjunction with the Buffalo Filter Acquisition as further described in Note 3 and Note 13 to the consolidated condensed financial statements.

• | Higher inventory levels as we continue to support new product introductions and sales growth.

• | Higher commission and incentive compensation payments associated with increased sales.

Investing cash flows
Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $365.2 million from the same period a year ago mainly due to the $364.9 million payment for the Buffalo Filter Acquisition. Capital expenditures were $4.0 million and $3.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and are expected to approximate $16.0 million in 2019.
Financing cash flows
Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $379.0 million compared to a use of cash of $33.3 million during 2018. Below is a summary of the significant financing activities impacting the change during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 2018:

• | We received proceeds of $345.0 million related to the issuance of 2.625% convertible notes as further described below.

• | We entered into a $265.0 million term loan in conjunction with the refinancing of our senior credit agreement. This new term loan replaced the previous term loan and resulted in net proceeds of $120.6 million compared to $3.3 million in payments in the prior year.

• | We had net payments on our revolving line of credit of $43.0 million compared to $25.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

• | We paid $51.2 million to purchase hedges related to our convertible notes. Partially offsetting this, were proceeds of $30.6 million from the issuance of warrants as further described below.

• | We paid $16.2 million in debt issuance costs associated with the 2.625% convertible notes and the sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement.

26

Table of Contents

• | We paid $2.9 million in contingent consideration related to a prior asset acquisition.

On February 7, 2019 we entered into a sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement consisting of: (a) a $265.0 million term loan facility and (b) a $585.0 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility will terminate and the loans outstanding under the term loan facility will expire on the earlier of (i) February 7, 2024 or (ii) 91 days prior to the earliest scheduled maturity date of the $345.0 million in 2.625% convertible notes due in 2024 described below, (if, as of such date, more than $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of such convertible notes (or any refinancing thereof) remains outstanding). The term loan facility is payable in quarterly installments increasing over the term of the facility. Proceeds from the term loan facility and borrowings under the revolving credit facility were used to repay the then existing senior credit agreement and in part to finance the acquisition of Buffalo Filter. Initial interest rates are at LIBOR plus an interest rate margin of 1.875% (4.375% at March 31, 2019). For those borrowings where we elect to use the alternate base rate, the initial base rate will be the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or (iii) the one-month Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, an interest rate margin.
There were $265.0 million in borrowings outstanding on the term loan facility as of March 31, 2019. There were $269.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2019. Our available borrowings on the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2019 were $313.0 million with approximately $3.0 million of the facility set aside for outstanding letters of credit.
The sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement is collateralized by substantially all of our personal property and assets. The sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement contains covenants and restrictions which, among other things, require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrict dividend payments and the incurrence of certain indebtedness and other activities, including acquisitions and dispositions. We were in full compliance with these covenants and restrictions as of March 31, 2019. We are also required, under certain circumstances, to make mandatory prepayments from net cash proceeds from any issuance of equity and asset sales.
On January 29, 2019, we issued $345.0 million in 2.625% convertible notes due in 2024 (the "Notes"). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2019. The Notes will mature on February 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased or converted. The Notes represent subordinated unsecured obligations and are convertible under certain circumstances, as defined in the indenture, into a combination of cash and CONMED common stock. The Notes may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 11.2608 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $88.80 per share of common stock). Holders of the Notes may convert their Notes at their option at any time on or after November 1, 2023 through the second scheduled trading day preceding the maturity date. Holders of their Notes will also have the right to convert the Notes prior to November 1, 2023, but only upon the occurrence of specified events. The conversion rate is subject to anti-dilution adjustments if certain events occur. A portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the notes were used as part of the financing for the Buffalo Filter acquisition and $21.0 million were used to pay the cost of certain convertible notes hedge transactions as further described below.
In connection with the offering of the Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions with a number of financial institutions (each, an “option counterparty”). The convertible note hedge transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of shares of our common stock underlying the Notes. Concurrently with entering into the convertible note hedge transactions, we also entered into separate warrant transactions with each option counterparty whereby we sold to such option counterparty warrants to purchase, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the same number of shares of our common stock.
The convertible note hedge transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the convertible note hedge transactions, is greater than the strike price ($114.92) of the convertible note hedge transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the Notes. If, however, the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the warrant transactions, exceeds the strike price of the warrants, there would nevertheless be dilution to the extent that such market price exceeds the strike price of the warrants, unless we elect to settle the warrants in cash.
We have a mortgage note outstanding in connection with the Largo, Florida property and facilities bearing interest at 8.25% per annum with semiannual payments of principal and interest through June 2019. The principal balance outstanding on the mortgage note aggregated $0.8 million at March 31, 2019. The mortgage note is collateralized by the Largo, Florida property and facilities.

Our Board of Directors has authorized a $200.0 million share repurchase program. Through March 31, 2019, we have repurchased a total of 6.1 million shares of common stock aggregating $162.6 million under this authorization and have $37.4 million remaining available for share repurchases. The repurchase program calls for shares to be purchased in the open market or in private transactions from time to time. We may suspend or discontinue the share repurchase program at any time. We have not purchased any shares of common stock under the share repurchase program during 2019. We have financed the repurchases and may finance additional repurchases through operating cash flow and from available borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Management believes that cash flow from operations, including cash and cash equivalents on hand and available borrowing capacity under our sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement, will be adequate to meet our anticipated operating working capital requirements, debt service, funding of capital expenditures and common stock repurchases in the foreseeable future.
Contractual Obligations
On February 7, 2019 we entered into a sixth amended and restated senior credit agreement consisting of: (a) a $265.0 million term loan facility and (b) a $585.0 million revolving credit facility and on January 29, 2019, we issued $345.0 million in 2.625% convertible notes. As a result, the below is a summary of our long-term debt obligations for the next five years as of March 31, 2019.
