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 devices and equipment for surgical procedures. The Company’s products are used by surgeons and other healthcare professionals in a variety of specialties including orthopedics, general surgery, gynecology, 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 to fairly present 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, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
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, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
While there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets, we are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to our estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of April 27, 2023, the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Note 3 – New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance if certain criteria are met for entities that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. This ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and was extended through December 31, 2024 by ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The Company has not adopted these ASUs as of March 31, 2023. Our seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement includes language to address the change from LIBOR to SOFR, an alternative base rate, therefore we do not believe reference rate reform will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 4 - Business Combinations
On June 13, 2022, we acquired In2Bones Global, Inc. ("In2Bones") and all of its stock (the "In2Bones Acquisition") for an aggregate upfront payment of $145.2 million in cash. In addition, there are potential earn-out payments to In2Bones’ equity holders in an amount up to $110.0 million based on the achievement of certain revenue targets for In2Bones products during the sixteen (16) successive quarters commencing on July 1, 2022. In2Bones is a global developer, manufacturer and distributor of medical devices for the treatment of disorders and injuries of the upper (hand, wrist and elbow) and lower (foot

Table of Contents
and ankle) extremities. The In2Bones Acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and long-term borrowings as further described in Note 11.
We recorded $11.8 million in net sales for In2Bones during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Earnings recorded in the consolidated condensed statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were not material. We also believe the proforma information is immaterial for disclosure for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred costs for the amortization of inventory step-up to fair value of $2.1 million related to the In2Bones acquisition which are recorded in cost of sales.
On August 9, 2022, we acquired Biorez, Inc. ("Biorez") and all of its stock (the "Biorez Acquisition") for an aggregate upfront payment of $85.5 million in cash. We paid $83.8 million as of March 31, 2023, with a $1.7 million holdback, pursuant to the merger agreement for the Biorez Acquisition. In addition, there are potential earn-out payments to Biorez’ equity holders in an amount up to $165.0 million based on the achievement of certain revenue targets for Biorez products during the sixteen (16) successive quarters commencing on October 1, 2022. Biorez is a medical device start-up focused on advancing the healing of soft tissue using its proprietary BioBrace® implant technology. The Biorez Acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and long-term borrowings.
Net sales and earnings for Biorez were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2023. We also believe the proforma information is immaterial for disclosure for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
The allocation of purchase price for these acquisitions is preliminary and therefore subject to adjustment during the measurement adjustment periods.

Note 7 – 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 on intercompany receivables designated in foreign currencies. 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:

|  |  | As of
| FASB ASC Topic 815 Designation |  | March 31, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
Forward exchange contracts | Cash flow hedge |  | $ | 199,005 |  |  | $ | 198,473 |
Forward exchange contracts | Non-designated |  | 98,173 |  |  | 81,929 |

The remaining time to maturity as of March 31, 2023 is within two years for hedge designated foreign exchange contracts and approximately one month for non-hedge designated forward exchange contracts.

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.

Table of Contents
Valuation Techniques. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 consist of forward foreign exchange contracts and contingent consideration. 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.
The Company values contingent consideration from the In2Bones and Biorez acquisitions using Level 3 inputs. The contingent consideration was recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition based on the consideration expected to be transferred, estimated as the probability-weighted future cash flows, discounted back to present value. The fair value of contingent consideration is measured using projected payment dates, discount rates, revenue volatilities and projected revenues. The recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of contingent consideration for which the liabilities are recorded include the following significant unobservable inputs as of March 31, 2023:

|  | Assumptions
Unobservable Input |  | In2Bones | Biorez
Discount rate |  | 6.52% | 11.32%
Revenue volatility |  | 13.11% | 20.88%
Projected year of payment |  | 2023-2026 | 2023-2026

Adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration relate to the passage of time and changes in market assumptions. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are as follows:

| In2Bones |  | Biorez |  | Location in Financial Statements
Balance as of January 1, 2023 | $ | 70,198 |  |  | $ | 116,234 |  |  |
Changes in fair value of contingent consideration | 2,637 |  |  | 1,799 |  |  | Selling and administrative expense
Balance as of March 31, 2023 | $ | 72,835 |  |  | $ | 118,033 |  |  |

Contingent consideration of $38.7 million and $152.2 million is included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated condensed balance sheet at March 31, 2023. Contingent consideration of $18.6 million and $167.8 million is included in other current liabilities and other long term liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2022.
The carrying amounts reported in our consolidated condensed balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and variable long-term debt approximate fair value.
Note 8 - Inventories
Inventories consist of the following:

Note 9 – 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.

Table of Contents
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

| Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 |  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 |  |
| Basic EPS |  | Adjustments |  | Diluted EPS |  | Basic EPS |  | Adjustments |  | Diluted EPS |  |  |  |
Net income | $ | 1,819 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1,819 |  |  | $ | 14,975 |  |  | $ | 1,715 |  |  | $ | 16,690 |  |  |  |  |

EPS | $ | 0.06 |  |  |  |  | $ | 0.06 |  |  | $ | 0.51 |  |  |  |  | $ | 0.47 |  |  |  |  |

The shares used in the calculation of diluted EPS exclude stock options and stock appreciation rights 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 2.2 million and 0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Note 10 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are as follows:

Balance as of December 31, 2022 | $ | 815,429 |
Foreign currency translation | 70 |
Balance as of March 31, 2023 | $ | 815,499 |

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.

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 $8.8 million and $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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.
The estimated intangible asset amortization expense remaining for the year ending December 31, 2023 and for each of the five succeeding years is as follows:

Seventh Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement
On July 16, 2021, we entered into a seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement consisting of: (a) a $233.5 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 July 16, 2026. The term loan was payable in quarterly installments increasing over the term of the facility. During 2022, we made a $90.0 million prepayment on the term loan facility resulting in the elimination of such quarterly payments with the remaining balance due upon the expiration of the term loan facility. Proceeds from the term loan facility and borrowings under the revolving credit facility were used to repay the then existing senior credit agreement. Interest rates are at the term secured overnight financing rate plus 0.1148% ("Adjusted Term SOFR") (4.927% at March 31, 2023) plus an interest rate margin of 1.125% (6.052% at March 31, 2023). For borrowings where we elect to use the alternate base rate, the initial base rate is the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or (iii) the one-month Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, an interest rate margin.
There were $134.6 million in borrowings outstanding on the term loan facility as of March 31, 2023. There were $79.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2023. Our available borrowings on the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2023 were $504.2 million with approximately $1.8 million of the facility set aside for outstanding letters of credit. The carrying amounts of the term loan and revolving credit facility approximate fair value.
The seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement is collateralized by substantially all of our personal property and assets. The seventh 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, 2023. We are also required, under certain circumstances, to make mandatory prepayments from net cash proceeds from any issuance of equity and asset sales.
2.625% Convertible Notes
On January 29, 2019, we issued $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.625% convertible notes due in 2024 (the "2.625% Notes"). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2019. The 2.625% Notes will mature on February 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased or converted. The 2.625% 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 2.625% Notes may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 11.2608 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2.625% Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $88.80 per share of common stock). Holders of the 2.625% Notes may convert the 2.625% 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 the 2.625% Notes will also have the right to convert the 2.625% 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 2.625% 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.

Table of Contents
On June 6, 2022, the Company repurchased and extinguished $275.0 million principal amount of the 2.625% Notes for aggregate consideration consisting of $275.0 million in cash and approximately 0.9 million shares of the Company's common stock. Concurrently, the Company entered into a Supplemental Indenture related to the remaining $70.0 million in 2.625% Notes, in which the Company irrevocably elected to settle the principal value of those 2.625% Notes in cash. The $70.0 million in 2.625% Notes are reflected in the current portion of long-term debt at March 31, 2023.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we have recorded interest expense on the 2.625% Notes of $0.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, at the contractual coupon rate of 2.625%.
The estimated fair value of the 2.625% Notes was approximately $85.3 million as of March 31, 2023 based on a market approach which represents a Level 2 valuation in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value was determined based on the estimated or actual bids and offers of the 2.625% Notes in an over-the-counter market transaction on the last business day of the period.
2.250% Convertible Notes
On June 6, 2022, we issued $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.250% Notes. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2022. The 2.250% Notes will mature on June 15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased or converted. The 2.250% 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, with the principal required to be paid in cash. The 2.250% Notes may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 6.8810 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2.250% Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $145.33 per share of common stock). Holders of the 2.250% Notes may convert the 2.250% Notes at their option at any time on or after March 15, 2027 through the second scheduled trading day preceding the maturity date. Holders of the 2.250% Notes will also have the right to convert the 2.250% Notes prior to March 15, 2027, but only upon the occurrence of specified events. The conversion rate is subject to anti-dilution adjustments if certain events occur. A portion of these proceeds were used to repurchase and extinguish a portion of the 2.625% Notes, pay off our then outstanding balance on our revolving line of credit, pay down of $90.0 million of our term loan and partially pay for the In2Bones Acquisition. In addition, approximately $115.6 million of the proceeds were used to pay the cost of certain convertible notes hedge transactions related to the 2.250% Notes.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we have recorded interest expense on the 2.250% Notes of $4.5 million at the contractual coupon rate of 2.250%.
The estimated fair value of the 2.250% Notes was approximately $796.1 million as of March 31, 2023 based on a market approach which represents a Level 2 valuation in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value was determined based on the estimated or actual bids and offers of the 2.250% Notes in an over-the-counter market transaction on the last business day of the period.
Convertible Notes Hedge Transactions
In connection with the offerings of the 2.625% and 2.250% Notes, we entered into convertible notes hedge transactions with a number of financial institutions (each, an “option counterparty”). The convertible notes hedge transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the respective Notes, the number of shares of our common stock underlying the 2.625% and 2.250% Notes. Concurrent with entering into the convertible notes 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.
In connection with the repurchase and extinguishment of $275.0 million principal amount of the 2.625% Notes, the Company entered into agreements with the option counterparties to terminate a corresponding portion of the hedges on the 2.625% Notes.
The convertible notes 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 notes hedge transactions, is greater than the strike price of the convertible notes 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 ($114.92 for the 2.625% Notes and $251.53 for the 2.250% Notes) of the warrants, there would nevertheless be dilution to the extent that such market price exceeds the strike price of the warrants,

Note 15 – Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may receive an information request, subpoena or warrant 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 United States Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Labor, the Treasury Department or other federal and state agencies or foreign governments or government agencies. These information requests, subpoenas or warrants may or may not be routine inquiries, or may begin as routine inquiries and over time develop into enforcement actions of various types. Likewise, if we receive reports of alleged misconduct from employees and third parties, we investigate as appropriate.
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, as well as patent infringement and other claims incurred in the ordinary course of business. To date, we have not experienced any 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 $35 million per incident and $35 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.
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. Likewise, the operations of our suppliers and sterilizers are subject to similar environmental laws and regulations. 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
17

Table of Contents
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.
CONMED is defending two Georgia State Court actions. The first action was filed in Cobb County by various employees, former employees, contract workers and others against CONMED and against a contract sterilizer (the "Cobb County Action"). The second action was filed in Douglas County against CONMED’s landlord and other allegedly related entities (the "Douglas County Action"). Plaintiffs in the lawsuits allege personal injury and related claims purportedly arising from or relating to exposure to Ethylene Oxide, a chemical used to sterilize certain products. CONMED is defending the claims asserted directly against it and is providing indemnification for certain other defendants based on contractual provisions.
Both actions are in their early stages. The Company's motion to dismiss in the Cobb County action was heard on January 10, 2022, and the Court issued a ruling on June 15, 2022 dismissing 44 of the 51 plaintiffs' claims as precluded by the exclusive workers' compensation remedy, as well as one claim from a non-employee plaintiff. As to the remaining claims that were not the subject of the motion to dismiss, CONMED believes it has strong defenses and will vigorously defend itself and all parties it is indemnifying. As with any litigation, there are risks, including the risk that CONMED may not prevail with respect to the defense of the underlying claims, or with respect to securing adequate insurance coverage for the indemnification claims. The Company is unable to estimate a range of possible loss at this time, and has not recorded any expense related to potential damages in connection with this matter because the Company does not believe any potential loss is probable.
CONMED submitted the foregoing claims for insurance coverage. One insurer is providing coverage for certain of the claims asserted directly against the Company. CONMED litigated two lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York with Federal Insurance Company (“Chubb”): one involving CONMED’s claim for coverage for the indemnification claims arising from the Cobb County Action, and the other concerning CONMED’s claim for coverage for the indemnification claims arising from the Douglas County Action. On March 10, 2022, the Court ruled in favor of CONMED with respect to coverage for the indemnification claims arising from the Cobb County Action. Chubb's motion for reconsideration was denied, and Chubb filed a notice of appeal. On August 9, 2022, CONMED won a similar ruling finding in its favor and against Chubb as to the coverage case concerning the Douglas County Action. Chubb appealed that decision as well. Chubb subsequently withdrew its appeal in connection with a favorable settlement between the parties. There can be no assurance that Chubb will honor its obligations prospectively.
In addition, one of CONMED’s contract sterilizers, which is defending toxic tort claims asserted by various residents in the areas around its processing facility, has placed CONMED on notice of a claim for indemnification relating to some of those claims. CONMED is reviewing the notice, and has not at this time taken any position on the notice.
The government of Italy passed a law in late 2015 to tax medical device companies on revenue derived from sales to public hospitals. The tax is calculated and based on provincial spending over and above certain thresholds. Since the law was enacted, the Italian government essentially made no effort to administer or collect the tax. A lack of interpretative guidance and complexity of the law resulted in uncertainty as to the actual amount of liability. In September 2022, the Italian government passed a further decree which, amongst other provisions, delegated administration and collection to the provincial level for the years 2015 – 2018. The Italy medical device tax represents variable consideration in the form of a retroactive discount potentially owed to the customer, which is ultimately the Italian government. The Company is challenging the imposition of the medical device tax in Italy, as have many other medical device companies, on the ground that the law was never implemented properly with regulations. While the Company is informed that its position is well-grounded in the law, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail. In January 2023, the Italian government postponed the due date for payment of the tax to allow time for Italian courts to rule on the constitutionality of the law. No amounts have been remitted to date.
From time to time, we are also subject to negligence and other claims arising out of the ordinary conduct of our business, including, for example, automobile or other accidents our employees may experience within the course of their employment or otherwise and which may, on occasion, involve potentially significant personal injuries or other exposures. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company reached an agreement to settle one such personal injury lawsuit. The settlement is covered by the Company’s insurance coverage and did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
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.

events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Overview
CONMED Corporation (“CONMED”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a medical technology company that provides devices and equipment for surgical procedures. The Company’s products are used by surgeons and other healthcare professionals in a variety of specialties including orthopedics, general surgery, gynecology, 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 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, smoke evacuation devices, 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, |  |
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  |  |  |
Orthopedic surgery | 44 | % |  | 44 | % |  |  |  |
General surgery | 56 | % |  | 56 | % |  |  |  |
Consolidated net sales | 100 | % |  | 100 | % |  |  |  |

A significant amount of our products are used in surgical procedures with approximate ly 84% of our revenues derived from the sale of single-use products. Our capital equipment offerings also facilitate the ongoing sale of related single-use 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 44% and 46% of our consolidated net sales duri ng the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Business Environment
The Company has been and continues to be impacted by the macro-economic environment and we are experiencing higher manufacturing and operating costs caused by inflationary pressures and ongoing supply chain challenges. We continuously work with suppliers to mitigate these impacts; however, we expect these challenges to continue through 2023. This will likely impact our results of operations.
The Company has no direct operations in either Russia or Ukraine and our business is limited to selling to third party distributors. Total revenues associated with sales to third party distributors in these countries are not material to the consolidated financial results, and we have fully reserved the outstanding accounts receivable from distributors in these territories which are not material. We will continue to monitor and adjust our business strategy in this region as necessary.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, we implemented a warehouse management system to increase capacity and efficiency, however this also caused significant delays in shipping and increased costs. During the first quarter of 2023, we made significant progress and improvement with the performance of our warehouse management system and the shipping delays that existed at year-end 2022 were substantially reduced. However, we continue to incur certain incremental costs as a result of the implementation and there remains a risk of loss of sales and customers as a result of the shipping disruptions which occurred.
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, 2022 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 goodwill and intangible assets, contingent consideration and our pension benefit obligation.

Net Sales
The following table presents net sales by product line for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

| Three Months Ended
|  |  |  |  | % Change
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  | As Reported |  | Impact of Foreign Currency |  | Constant Currency
Orthopedic surgery | $ | 131.2 |  |  | $ | 107.5 |  |  | 22.0 | % |  | 4.0 | % |  | 26.0 | %
General surgery | 164.3 |  |  | 134.8 |  |  | 21.9 | % |  | 2.5 | % |  | 24.4 | %
Net sales | $ | 295.5 |  |  | $ | 242.3 |  |  | 21.9 | % |  | 3.2 | % |  | 25.1 | %
Single-use products | $ | 249.3 |  |  | $ | 201.5 |  |  | 23.7 | % |  | 3.2 | % |  | 26.9 | %
Capital products | 46.2 |  |  | 40.8 |  |  | 13.0 | % |  | 3.3 | % |  | 16.3 | %
Net sales | $ | 295.5 |  |  | $ | 242.3 |  |  | 21.9 | % |  | 3.2 | % |  | 25.1 | %

Net sales increased 21.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period a year ago as we made significant progress and improvement with the performance of our warehouse management system and the shipping delays that existed at year-end 2022 were substantially reduced in the quarter. Further contributing to sales growth in the first quarter were $13.6 million in sales from the recently acquired In2Bones and Biorez products and increases in our existing product lines.
•Orthopedic surgery sales increased 22.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of the recently acquired In2Bones and Biorez products and increases in our orthopedic product offerings.
•General surgery sales increased 21.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 on growth in our AirSeal, Buffalo Filter and other surgical product offerings.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased to $140.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $106.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Gross profit margins decreased 350 basis points to 52.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 56.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Decreases in gross profit margins are driven by cost increases, inflation in raw materials, freight and other costs of production. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred costs for the amortization of inventory step-up to fair value of $2.1 million related to the In2Bones acquisition, $1.1 million in consulting fees related to a cost improvement initiative and $1.0 million in severance related to the elimination of certain positions.
Selling and Administrative Expense
Selling and administrative expense increased to $130.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $102.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales increased to 44.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 42.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by:
•$4.4 million in costs related to fair value adjustments to contingent consideration;
•$4.3 million in costs related to the implementation of a new warehouse management system. These costs mainly consisted of incremental freight, labor and travel costs as well as professional fees; and
•$1.6 million in costs consisting of severance related to the elimination of certain positions.
These increases are offset by lower ongoing selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue as we leverage our existing selling and administrative structure.

Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense increased to $12.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $10.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expense decreased 20 basis points to 4.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 4.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The lower spend as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was mainly driven by higher sales in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year period.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $10.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $5.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The weighted average interest rates on our borrowings increased to 3.14% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 2.22% in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023 is primarily driven by the issuance of the 2.250% Notes in June 2022 as well as higher interest rates on our senior credit agreement.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company's tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate applied to its year-to-date earnings, and also adjusting for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company would make a cumulative adjustment in that quarter.
Income tax expense has been recorded at an effective tax rate of 25.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to an income tax expense at an effective tax rate of 14.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The higher effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily the result of the lower income in 2023 incurring a higher percentage of tax expense and a reduction in discrete tax benefit relating to stock option exercises. The three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 included discrete income tax benefit from stock option exercises which reduced the effective tax rate by 2.4% and 9.8%, respectively. 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, 2022 under Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Net sales on a "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, 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 seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement. 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 seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement 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.
Operating cash flows
Our net working capital position was $289.4 million at March 31, 2023. Net cash used in operating activities was $3.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and net cash provided by operating activities was $0.3 million in the
23

Table of Contents
three months ended March 31, 2022, generated on net income of $1.8 million and $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in operating cash flows is primarily due to lower net income in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the prior year period. Significant changes in assets and liabilities affecting cash flows in the three months ended March 31, 2023 include the following:
•A decrease in cash flows from accounts receivable based on the timing of sales and cash receipts;
•An increase in cash flows from accounts payable due to the timing of payments; and
•A decrease in cash flows from accrued compensation and benefits as a result of incentive compensation payments.
Investing cash flows
Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $0.6 million from the same period a year ago primarily due to capital expenditures being higher at $4.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $3.7 million in the same period a year ago.
Financing cash flows
Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $5.4 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $7.5 million during 2022. Below is a summary of the significant financing activities impacting the change during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 2022:
•We had net borrowings on our revolving line of credit of $9.0 million, compared to net borrowings of $11.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
•We had net payments on our term loan of $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
•We paid $0.8 million in contingent consideration related to a prior acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
•We had net cash proceeds of $3.4 million related to stock issued under employee plans for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $8.0 million in the same period a year ago.
Other Liquidity Matters
Our cash balances and cash flows generated from operations may be used to fund strategic investments, business acquisitions, working capital needs, research and development, common stock repurchases and payments of dividends to our shareholders. Management believes that cash flow from operations, including cash and cash equivalents on hand and available borrowing capacity under our seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement, will be adequate to meet our anticipated operating working capital requirements, debt service, funding of capital expenditures, dividend payments and common stock repurchases in the foreseeable future. In addition, management believes we could access capital markets, as necessary, to fund future business acquisitions.
The Company is also being impacted by the macro-economic environment and we are experiencing higher manufacturing and operating costs caused by inflationary pressures and ongoing supply chain challenges. We continue to monitor our spending and expenses in light of these factors. However, we may need to take further steps to reduce our costs, or to refinance our debt. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for further discussion.
There were $134.6 million in borrowings outstanding on the term loan facility as of March 31, 2023. There were $79.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2023. Our available borrowings on the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2023 were $504.2 million with approximately $1.8 million of the facility set aside for outstanding letters of credit.
The seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement is collateralized by substantially all of our personal property and assets. The seventh 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, 2023. We are also required, under certain circumstances, to make mandatory prepayments from net cash proceeds from any issuance of equity and asset sales.
See Note 11 for further information on our financing agreements and outside debt obligations.

Our Board of Directors has authorized a $200.0 million share repurchase program. Through March 31, 2023, 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 2023. We have financed the repurchases and may finance additional repurchases through operating cash flow and from available borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
