1. Basis of Presentation

Overview

Surmodics, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Surmodics,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other like terms) is a leading provider of surface modification technologies for intravascular medical devices and chemical components for in vitro diagnostic (“IVD”) immunoassay tests and microarrays. Surmodics is pursuing development and commercialization of highly differentiated medical devices that are designed to address unmet clinical needs and engineered to the most demanding requirements. This key growth strategy leverages the combination of the Company’s expertise in proprietary surface technologies, along with enhanced device design, development, and manufacturing capabilities. The Company mission remains to improve the detection and treatment of disease. Surmodics is headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts and wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company operates on a fiscal year ending on September 30. In accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company has omitted footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire 2022 fiscal year.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

No new accounting pronouncement issued or effective has had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contract assets totaled $7.2 million and $7.1 million as of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Fluctuations in the balance of contract assets result primarily from changes in sales-based and minimum royalties earned, but not collected, at each balance sheet date due to payment timing and contractual changes in the normal course of business. For discussion of contract liability (deferred revenue) balances and remaining performance obligations, see Note 3 Collaborative Arrangement.

3. Collaborative Arrangement

On February 26, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Abbott Vascular, Inc. (“Abbott”) whereby Abbott has exclusive worldwide commercialization rights for Surmodics' SurVeilTM drug-coated balloon (“DCB”) to treat the superficial femoral artery (the “Abbott Agreement”). A premarket approval (“PMA”) application for the SurVeil DCB was being evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) as of March 31, 2022. Separately, Abbott also received the option to negotiate an agreement for Surmodics' below-the-knee SundanceTM DCB product. As of March 31, 2022, six-month patient follow-up visits are complete for the SWING first-in-human, 35-patient clinical study of the Sundance DCB, and we delivered the SWING clinical study report to Abbott in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Surmodics is responsible for conducting all necessary clinical trials and other activities required to achieve U.S. regulatory clearance for the SurVeil DCB, including completion of the ongoing TRANSCEND pivotal clinical trial. Abbott and Surmodics participate on a joint development committee charged with providing guidance on the Company’s clinical and regulatory activities with regard to the SurVeil DCB product. Upon receipt of regulatory approval for our SurVeil DCB, Abbott will have the right to purchase commercial units from the Company and Surmodics will realize revenue from product sales to Abbott at an agreed-upon transfer price, as well as a share of net profits resulting from third-party product sales by Abbott. To account for the Abbott Agreement, the Company applied the guidance in ASC Topic 808 (Collaborative Arrangements) as the parties are active participants and are exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on commercial success of the collaborative activity.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company has received payments totaling $60.8 million under the Abbott Agreement, which consist of the following: (i) $25 million upfront fee in fiscal 2018, (ii) $10 million milestone payment in fiscal 2019, (iii) $10.8 million milestone payment in fiscal 2020, and (iv) $15 million milestone payment in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the Company may receive an additional contingent milestone payment of up to $30 million, pursuant to the terms of the Abbott Agreement, upon PMA of our SurVeil DCB by the FDA. As of March 31, 2022, consideration from this potential regulatory milestone was excluded from the contract price (i.e., deemed fully constrained), due to the high level of uncertainty of achievement as of March 31, 2022.

Revenue recognized from the Abbott agreement totaled $1.4 million and $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $2.6 million and $13.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. The amount of revenue recognized from the Abbott Agreement that was included in the respective beginning of fiscal year balances of deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets totaled $2.6 million and $3.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, deferred revenue from the upfront and milestone payments received under the Abbott Agreement of $12.3 million and $14.9 million, respectively, was recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2022, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied for executed contracts with an original duration of one year or more totaled $12.3 million. These remaining performance obligations relate to the Abbott Agreement, exclude the potential contingent milestone payment under the Abbott Agreement, and are expected to be recognized over the next four years through fiscal 2025 as services, principally the TRANSCEND clinical trial, are completed.

Total liabilities |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 817 |  |  | $ | 817 |

| (1) | Fair value of cash equivalents (money market funds) and available-for-sale investments (commercial paper and corporate bond securities) is based on quoted vendor prices and broker pricing where all significant inputs are observable.

| (2) | Fair value of contingent consideration liabilities was determined based on discounted cash flow analyses that included probability and timing of development and regulatory milestone achievements and a discount rate, which are considered significant unobservable inputs as of the acquisition date and as of both March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

Contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured to fair value each reporting period using discount rates, probabilities of payment and projected payment dates. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability can result from changes in the timing or likelihood of achieving milestones and changes in discount periods and rates. Projected contingent payment amounts are discounted back to the current period using a discount cash flow model. Interest accretion and fair value adjustments associated with contingent consideration liabilities are reported in contingent consideration expense (gain) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

6. Debt

On September 14, 2020, the Company entered into a secured revolving credit facility pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement, which was amended by a First Amendment on July 2, 2021 and by a Second Amendment on March 7, 2022 (as amended, the "Loan Agreement") with Bridgewater Bank (“Bridgewater”). The Loan Agreement provides for availability under a secured revolving line of credit of up to $25 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility was $10.0 million as of both March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

The Revolving Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on September 14, 2021, but the Company extended the maturity to September 14, 2022, as permitted under the Loan Agreement. The maturity date may be extended by the Company for up to one additional extension period of twelve months subject to certain conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Company's obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its material subsidiaries' assets, other than intellectual property, real estate and foreign assets, including equity in foreign subsidiaries. The Company has also pledged the stock of certain of its subsidiaries to secure such obligations. Interest under the Loan Agreement accrues at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) 3.25% per annum and (ii) the 90-day interest rate yield for U.S. Government Treasury Securities plus 2.75% per annum. A facility fee is payable on unused commitments at a rate of 0.075% quarterly. As of both March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.3%. Unused commitment fees, reported within interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, totaled zero and less than $0.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for a transaction of this type which, among other things, require the Company to meet certain financial tests, including (i) minimum liquidity, (ii) minimum current ratio, (iii) minimum quarterly revenue, and (iv) minimum tangible net worth. The Loan Agreement also contains covenants which, among other things, limit the Company's ability to incur additional debt, make certain investments, create or permit certain liens, create or permit restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions, consolidate or merge, and engage in other activities customarily restricted in such agreements, in each case subject to exceptions permitted by the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which would permit Bridgewater to terminate its commitment and accelerate the Revolving Credit Facility.

7. Stock-based Compensation Plans

The Company has stock-based compensation plans approved by its shareholders under which it grants stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and deferred stock units to officers, directors and key employees. Stock-based compensation expense was reported as follows in the condensed consolidated statements of operations:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | March 31, |  |  | March 31, |
(In thousands) |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Product costs |  | $ | 78 |  |  | $ | 32 |  |  | $ | 108 |  |  | $ | 69 |
Research and development |  |  | 296 |  |  |  | 305 |  |  |  | 731 |  |  |  | 589 |
Selling, general and administrative |  |  | 1,345 |  |  |  | 1,092 |  |  |  | 2,560 |  |  |  | 2,204 |
Total |  | $ | 1,719 |  |  | $ | 1,429 |  |  | $ | 3,399 |  |  | $ | 2,862 |

As of March 31, 2022, approximately $12.8 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.5 years.

Stock Option Awards

The Company awards stock options to officers, directors and key employees and uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options as of the date of each grant. Stock option grant activity was as follows:

|  | Six Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Stock option grant activity: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Stock options granted |  |  | 283,000 |  |  |  | 234,000 |
Weighted average grant date fair value |  | $ | 16.36 |  |  | $ | 13.86 |
Weighted average exercise price |  | $ | 43.72 |  |  | $ | 38.65 |

Restricted Stock Awards

During the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company awarded 83,000 and 65,000 restricted stock shares, respectively, to certain key employees and officers with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $43.87 and $37.48, respectively. Restricted Stock is valued based on the market value of the shares as of the date of grant.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

During each of the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company awarded 14,000 and 12,000 restricted stock units, respectively, (“RSUs”) to directors and to key employees in foreign jurisdictions with a weighted average grant date fair value per unit of $42.79 and $45.13, respectively. RSUs are valued based on the market value of the shares as of the date of grant.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Our U.S. employees are eligible to participate in the amended 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) approved by our shareholders. During the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 10,000 and 8,000 shares were issued under the ESPP, respectively.

8. Net (Loss) Income Per Share Data

Basic net (loss) income per common share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive common shares are those that result from dilutive common stock options and non-vested stock relating to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. However, these items have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 as their effect was anti-dilutive as a result of the net loss incurred for those periods. Therefore, diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding and diluted net loss per share were the same as basic weighted average number of shares outstanding and net loss per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022.

15

Table of Contents

The following table presents the denominator for the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | March 31, |  |  | March 31, |
(In thousands) |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Basic weighted average shares outstanding |  |  | 13,917 |  |  |  | 13,746 |  |  |  | 13,896 |  |  |  | 13,699 |
Dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, non-vested restricted stock, and non-vested restricted stock units |  |  | — |  |  |  | 235 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 216 |
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding |  |  | 13,917 |  |  |  | 13,981 |  |  |  | 13,896 |  |  |  | 13,915 |

The calculation of weighted average diluted shares outstanding excludes outstanding stock options associated with the right to purchase less than 0.1 million shares of common stock for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, as their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on diluted net income per share for those periods.

9. Income Taxes

For interim income tax reporting, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies it to fiscal year-to-date pretax (loss) income, excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items. Tax jurisdictions with losses for which tax benefits cannot be realized are excluded. The Company reported income tax benefit of $0.9 million and income tax expense of $(1.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and income tax benefit of $1.6 million and income tax expense of $(1.6) million for the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to favorable impacts of the U.S. federal research and development tax credits; operating results of one of our Irish subsidiaries for which tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance; and the effects of equity compensation. The Company recognized discrete tax benefits related to stock-based compensation awards vested, expired, cancelled and exercised of less than $0.1 million and $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.7 million in the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $3.0 million and $2.7 million as of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in the income tax benefit (provision).

The Company files income tax returns, including returns for its subsidiaries, in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state jurisdictions, as well as several non-U.S. jurisdictions. Uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination. The Internal Revenue Service commenced an examination of the Company’s fiscal 2019 U.S. federal tax return in the second quarter of fiscal 2022; the examination has not been completed. U.S. federal income tax returns for years prior to fiscal 2018 are no longer subject to examination by federal tax authorities. For tax returns for U.S. state and local jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to examination for tax years generally before fiscal 2011. For tax returns for non-U.S. jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examination for years prior to 2017. Additionally, the Company has been indemnified of liability for any taxes relating to Creagh Medical, NorMedix and Vetex for periods prior to the respective acquisition dates, pursuant to the terms of the related share purchase agreements. There were no undistributed earnings in foreign subsidiaries as of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Clinical Trials. The Company has engaged clinical trial clinical research organization (“CRO”) consultants to assist with the administration of its ongoing clinical trials. The Company has executed separate contracts with two CROs for services rendered in connection with the TRANSCEND pivotal clinical trial for the SurVeil DCB, including pass-through expenses paid by the CROs, of up to approximately $30 million in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2022, an estimated $9 million remains to be paid on these contracts, which may vary depending on actual pass-through expenses incurred to execute the trial. The Company estimates that the total cost of the TRANSCEND clinical trial will be in the range of $37 million to $40 million from inception to completion. In the event the Company were to terminate any trial, it may incur certain financial penalties which would become payable to the CRO for costs to wind down the terminated trial.

The Company is obligated to pay additional installments totaling $2.0 million in fiscal 2023 through fiscal 2024. These payments may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain sales and regulatory milestones. An additional $1.0 million payment is contingent upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones within a contingency period ending in 2033.

Business Combinations. See Note 11 Acquisitions for disclosure of the fiscal 2021 acquisition of Vetex Medical Limited and associated deferred and contingent consideration liabilities.

11. Acquisitions

Vetex Medical Limited

On July 2, 2021, Surmodics acquired all of the outstanding shares of Vetex Medical Limited (“Vetex”). Vetex, which was formerly privately held and is based in Galway, Ireland, develops and manufactures medical devices focused on venous clot removal solutions. The transaction expanded Surmodics’ thrombectomy portfolio with a second FDA 510(k)-cleared device, a mechanical venous thrombectomy device. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The acquired assets, liabilities and operating results of Vetex have been included on our condensed consolidated financial statements within the Medical Device segment from the date of acquisition.

Surmodics acquired Vetex with an upfront cash payment of $39.9 million funded using cash on hand and $10.0 million from the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company is obligated to pay additional installments totaling $3.5 million in fiscal 2024 through fiscal 2027. These payments may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain product development and regulatory milestones. An additional $3.5 million in payments is contingent upon the achievement of certain product development and regulatory milestones within a contingency period ending in fiscal 2027.

The acquisition date fair value of purchase consideration was as follows:

The allocation of purchase consideration is considered preliminary as of March 31, 2022, with provisional amounts related to current assets, other non-current assets and deferred income taxes. We expect to finalize the allocation of purchase consideration no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Acquired intangible assets consist of developed technology. We used the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method and the incremental cash flow approach using Level 3 inputs, to derive the fair value of the developed technology. The developed technology is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 12 years. The amortization of the acquired intangible assets is tax deductible.

The goodwill recorded from the Vetex acquisition is a result of expected synergies from integrating the Vetex business into the Company’s Medical Device segment and from acquiring and retaining the existing Vetex workforce. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis provides information management believes is useful in understanding the operating results, cash flows and financial condition of Surmodics. The discussion should be read in conjunction with both the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, each included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. This discussion contains various “Forward-Looking Statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We refer readers to the statement entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” located at the end of this Item 2.

Overview

Surmodics, Inc. and subsidiaries (referred to as “Surmodics,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other like terms) is a leading provider of surface modification technologies for intravascular medical devices and chemical components for in vitro diagnostic (“IVD”) immunoassay tests and microarrays. Surmodics is pursuing development and commercialization of highly differentiated medical devices that are designed to address unmet clinical needs and engineered to the most demanding requirements. This key growth strategy leverages the combination of the Company’s expertise in proprietary surface technologies, along with enhanced device design, development, and manufacturing capabilities. The Company mission remains to improve the detection and treatment of disease.

Acquisition of Vetex Medical Limited

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, Surmodics completed the acquisition of all outstanding shares of Vetex Medical Limited (“Vetex”). Vetex, which was formerly privately held and is based in Galway, Ireland, develops and manufactures medical devices focused on venous clot removal solutions. Surmodics acquired Vetex with an upfront cash payment of $39.9 million funded using cash on hand and $10 million from the Company’s $25 million revolving credit facility. Additional payments of up to $7 million, $3.5 million of which are guaranteed, may be made upon achievement of certain product development and regulatory milestones.

The transaction expands Surmodics’ thrombectomy portfolio with a second Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) 510(k)-cleared device, which is marketed as our PounceTM Venous Thrombectomy Catheter, for use in venous vascular beds that is specifically designed to remove large, mixed-morphology blood clots commonly found with venous thromboembolism (“VTE”). The Pounce Venous Thrombectomy Catheter has also received Conformité Européenne Mark (“CE Mark”) approval, which is a prerequisite for commercialization in the European Union (“E.U.”). The device’s dual action technology efficiently removes mixed-morphology clot in a single session, minimizing the need for thrombolytics and without capital equipment.

Vascular Intervention Device Platforms

Within our Medical Device segment, we develop and manufacture our own proprietary vascular intervention medical device products, which leverage our expertise in surface modification coating technologies, product design and engineering capabilities. We believe our strategy of developing our own medical device products has increased, and will continue to increase, our relevance in the medical device industry. This strategy is key to our future growth and profitability, providing us with the opportunity to capture more revenue and operating margin with vascular intervention products than we would by licensing our device-enabling technologies.

Highlighted below are select medical device products within our development pipeline that are a focus for fiscal 2022 development and commercialization efforts. For both our thrombectomy and radial access platforms, we are pursuing commercialization in fiscal 2022 via a direct sales strategy leveraging a small team of experienced sales professionals and clinical specialists. Beginning in the second half of fiscal 2022, we expect to see modest, but meaningful and growing revenue associated with the adoption, utilization, and sales of our SublimeTM and Pounce platform products.

Pounce Thrombectomy Platform

We have successfully developed, internally and through acquisitions, two FDA 510(k) approved mechanical thrombectomy devices for the non-surgical removal of thrombi and emboli (clots) from the peripheral vasculature (legs). In addition to FDA clearance, our Pounce Venous Thrombectomy Catheter has received the CE Mark approval prerequisite for commercialization in the E.U. We believe that the ease of use, intuitive design and efficient performance of our thrombectomy products make these devices a viable first-line treatment option for interventionalists. These devices include:

20

Table of Contents

• | Pounce Arterial Thromb o-embole ctomy System for removal of clots from arteries in the legs associated with peripheral arterial disease (“PAD”). Clinical product evaluations began in the second half of fiscal 2021 and are continuing into fiscal 2022. Commercial sales began in the first quarter of f iscal 2022.

• | Pounce Venous Thrombectomy Catheter for removal of clots from veins in the legs generally associated with VTE. As of the end our fiscal 2022 second quarter, process and manufacturing validations for our Pounce venous thrombectomy catheter are nearing completion. We expect to initiate clinical product evaluation activities for our Pounce venous thrombectomy catheter in the second half of fiscal 2022, an important precursor to commercialization.

Sublime Radial Access Platform

We have successfully developed and secured FDA 510(k) regulatory approval for a suite of devices that enable vascular intervention via radial (wrist) access. These devices include:

• | Sublime guide sheath to provide the conduit for peripheral intervention with an access point at the wrist that enables treatment all the way to the pedal loop of the foot;

• | Sublime .014 RX PTA Dilatation Catheter for treatment of lesions in arteries below the knee all the way to the patient’s foot and around the pedal loop; and

• | Sublime .018 RX PTA Dilatation Catheter for treatment of lesions in arteries above and below the knee.

Commercial sales began in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 for our Sublime guide sheath and Sublime .014 RX PTA dilatation catheter. For our Sublime .018 RX PTA dilatation catheter product, commercial sales began in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Drug-coated Balloon Platform

Surmodics’ drug-coated balloons (“DCBs”) are designed for vascular interventions to treat PAD, a condition that causes a narrowing of the blood vessels supplying the extremities.

• | SurVeil™ DCB – paclitaxel-coated DCB to treat PAD in the upper leg (superficial femoral artery). In fiscal 2018, we entered into an agreement (the “Abbott Agreement”) with Abbott Vascular, Inc. (“Abbott”) that provides Abbott with exclusive worldwide commercialization rights to the SurVeil DCB product. Our SurVeil DCB utilizes a proprietary paclitaxel drug-excipient formulation for a durable balloon coating and is manufactured using an innovative process to improve coating uniformity.

The SurVeil DCB has the necessary regulatory approval for commercialization in the E.U., and timing of commercialization in the E.U. is at the discretion of our exclusive distribution partner, Abbott. In fiscal 2021, the TRANSCEND pivotal clinical trial of our SurVeil DCB met both the primary safety and primary efficacy endpoints and was found to be non-inferior to the control device in those endpoints.

In June 2021, we submitted the fourth and final module of our application to the FDA for premarket approval (“PMA”) of our Surveil DCB, including certain long-term vital status data required by the FDA. The Agency has requested certain additional data, and we continue to work closely with the Agency to fulfill requirements regarding our PMA application. Receipt of PMA from the FDA, if granted, would be expected to fulfill the requirements for a $30 million (if received by December 31, 2022) or $27 million (if received after December 31, 2022) milestone payment pursuant to the Abbott Agreement.

• | Sundance™ DCB – sirolimus-coated DCB for the treatment of below-the-knee PAD. We completed six-month patient follow-up visits in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 for the SWING first-in-human, 35-patient clinical study of our Sundance DCB. We finalized the clinical report for the SWING trial, which demonstrated promising early safety data and performance insights, and provided the clinical report to Abbott in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Pursuant to the Abbott Agreement, Abbott has the option to negotiate for a commercialization agreement for the Sundance DCB product. We are working with our clinical investigators and advisors to identify and assess potential clinical strategies for our Sundance DCB.

21

Table of Contents

• | Avess TM DCB – paclitaxel-coated DCB for the treatment of arteriovenous (“AV”) fistulae commonly associated with hemodialysis. In fiscal 2019, we commenced and completed enrollment in a first in-human, 12-patient clinical study of our Avess DCB. In fiscal 2020, initial study results were received and demonstrated promising early safety data and performance insights, with greater than 90% of treated patients free from revascularization at six months. In fiscal 2021, we completed design verification for the full matrix of balloon sizes for the base balloon catheter and began the process validation work on the base catheter. Additionally, the FDA has provided high-level feedback on Avess pivotal clinical trial design considerations. In fiscal 2022, we plan to evaluate our strategy for further clinical investment in the Avess DCB based on the experience we gain from the PMA application process for our SurVeil DCB.

For more information regarding our vascular intervention medical devices, see Part I, Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.

COVID Pandemic Update

Our business, operations and financial condition and results have been and may continue to be impacted by the COVID pandemic. In fiscal 2020, we experienced significant and unpredictable reductions in both royalties and license fee revenue and product sales, primarily in our Medical Device business, as our customers were negatively impacted by the decline in the volume of elective procedures that resulted from the global healthcare system’s response to COVID. As fiscal 2021 progressed, we observed a diminishing degree of COVID-related impacts to our reported revenue. However, in fiscal 2022, we are continuing to see COVID-related impacts to our reported revenue.

• | Medical Device product sales increased 19.1% to $6.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $5.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Medical Device product sales increased 32.7% to $13.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2022, compared to $10.0 million in the same prior-year period. For both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, broad-based growth drove the increase in revenue year-over-year. For both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, sales of medical device products contributed to year-over-year growth, which includes contract-manufactured balloon catheters, specialty catheters distributed by strategic partners, and recently commercialized Pounce and Sublime products. For the first six months of fiscal 2022, and to a lesser degree for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, sustained growth in demand for our coating reagent products drove year-over-year growth.

• | Medical Device coatings royalties revenue increased 11.8% to $8.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $7.5 million in the prior-year quarter. For the first six months of fiscal 2022, Medical Device coatings royalties revenue of $15.2 million was relatively flat compared to $15.4 million in the same prior-year period. Royalties revenue in both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022 benefited from double-digit growth in our SereneTM coating. For the first six months of fiscal 2022, the first quarter of the prior-year fiscal 2021 provides a challenging comparable as the period benefited from customer-reported royalties in excess of estimated royalties due to unpredictable and evolving COVID impacts.

• | License fee revenue from the Abbott Agreement for our SurVeil DCB was $1.4 million and $12.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the first six months of fiscal 2022 and 2021, license fee revenue from the Abbott Agreement was $2.6 million and $13.8 million, respectively. The second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021 included $10.8 million in license fee revenue recognized from the $15 million milestone payment received in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

Abbott Agreement license fee revenue is recognized as costs are incurred on a proportional basis to total expected costs for the TRANSCEND pivotal clinical trial. The percentage of costs incurred relative to total estimated costs for the TRANSCEND pivotal clinical trial of our SurVeil DCB was approximately 80% and 76% as of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. We estimate this percentage will be approximately 83% by the end of fiscal 2022, with the remaining 17% of costs incurred and revenue recognized over the subsequent final three years of the TRANSCEND trial follow-up and clinical reporting period.

Future license fee revenue related to the Abbott Agreement will depend extensively on whether and when we receive the milestone payment of up to $30 million associated with receipt of the PMA of the SurVeil DCB. Approximately $25 million of the $30 million milestone payment would be recognized as license fee revenue in the period in which it is received. If PMA is received after December 31, 2022, the milestone payment is reduced to $27 million pursuant to the terms of the Abbott Agreement.

• | Medical Device R&D and other revenue declined by $(0.3) million and $(0.6) million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021, respectively, compared to the same prior-year periods, driven by lower coating services volume from supply chain challenges related to customer supplied components and from lifecycle attrition for certain customer products.

In Vitro Diagnostics. In Vitro Diagnostics revenue increased 8.0% to $7.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $7.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2021. In Vitro Diagnostics revenue increased 4.2% to $13.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022, compared to $13.2 million for the same prior-year period.

• | IVD product revenue was $7.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, an increase of 18.0% compared to the same prior-year period. For the first six months of fiscal 2022, IVD product revenue was $13.1 million, an increase of 9.8% compared to the same prior-year period. Both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022 benefited from favorable order timing of our distributed antigen products, which are used in autoimmune disease testing. Sales of our protein stabilization and colorimetric substrate products contributed to revenue growth for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, with double-digit growth year-over-year for the first six months of fiscal 2022. Sales of our microarray slide/surface products grew modestly in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to the same prior-year quarter, and declined year-over-year for the first six months of fiscal 2022.

• | IVD R&D and other revenue declined by $(0.6) million for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, compared to the same respective prior-year periods. The decline in R&D and other revenue was primarily related to the completion of a customer development program.

Product costs. Product gross margins (defined as product sales less related product costs, as a percentage of product sales) were 63.4% and 64.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 63.5% and 63.8% for the first six months of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. The benefit to product gross margin from leverage on higher sales volume, compared to the same respective prior-year periods, was offset by a net unfavorable impact from product mix.

Research and development (“R&D”) expense. For the second quarter of fiscal 2022, R&D expense increased 6.5%, or $0.8 million, compared to the prior-year quarter. For the first six months of fiscal 2022, R&D expense increased 6.8%, or $1.6 million, compared to the same prior-year period. R&D expense as a percentage of revenue was 52.5% and 36.8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 51.7% and 41.5% for the first six months of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. R&D expense as a percentage of revenue for the prior-year fiscal 2021 periods reflects the impact of the $10.8 million in revenue recognized on the previously discussed Abbott milestone payment. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, the fiscal 2021 Vetex acquisition added $0.4 million and $1.0 million in R&D expense, respectively, compared to the same respective prior-year periods. We anticipate R&D expenses will continue to be significant in fiscal 2022, primarily related to medical device product development, including support for commercialization of our Pounce and Sublime platforms.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense. For the second quarter of fiscal 2022, SG&A expense increased 40.5%, or $3.2 million, compared the prior-year quarter. For the first six months of fiscal 2022, SG&A expense increased 36.0%, or $5.4 million, compared the same prior-year period. The increase in SG&A expense year-over-year in both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022 was related to sales and marketing activities, including new hires, to support the commercialization of our Sublime and Pounce products. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue was 42.6% and 22.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 41.3% and 26.1% for the first six months of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue for the prior-year fiscal 2021 periods reflects the impact of the $10.8 million in revenue recognized on the previously discussed Abbott milestone payment. For full-year fiscal 2022, we anticipate an increase in SG&A expenditures of between $13 million and $15 million, compared to the prior year, as we invest in sales and marketing personnel and infrastructure to support commercialization of our Sublime and Pounce platforms.

Acquired intangible asset amortization. We have previously acquired certain intangible assets through business combinations, which are amortized over periods ranging from six to 14 years. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, acquired intangible asset amortization increased by $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, compared to the same respective prior-year periods, as a result of the developed technology associated with the fiscal 2021 Vetex acquisition.

Contingent consideration expense. We have contingent consideration obligations related to business combinations. Expense (gain) recognized is related to changes in the probability and timing of achieving certain contractual milestones, as well as accretion expense for the passage of time. In fiscal 2022, contingent consideration expense consisted of accretion for liabilities associated with the fiscal 2021 Vetex acquisition.

Other (expense) income. We reported other expense of $(0.1) million and other income of $0.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively, and other expense of $(0.2) million for both the first six months of fiscal 2022 and 2021. Interest expense increased for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022, compared to the same respective prior-year periods, due to utilization of our revolving credit facility. Foreign currency gains (losses) contributed to the fluctuation in other (expense) income year-over-year for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2022. Foreign currency gains (losses) result primarily from the impact of U.S. to Euro exchange rate fluctuations on certain intercompany obligations. Foreign currency gains (losses) reflect weakening (strengthening) of the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar in each respective period.

Income tax benefit (provision). For the second quarter of fiscal 2022, income tax benefit was $0.9 million, compared to income tax expense of $(1.4) million in the prior-year quarter. For the first six months of fiscal 2022, income tax benefit was $1.6 million, compared to income tax expense of $(1.6) million in the same prior-year period. The prior-year fiscal 2021 tax expense is primarily the result of the $10.8 million in license fee revenue recognized on the Abbott milestone payment in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company’s effective tax rate reflects the impact of state income taxes, permanent tax items and discrete tax benefits, as well as operating results for one of our Ireland subsidiaries for which tax expense or benefit is offset by a valuation allowance. The tax benefit (expense) recognized in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 202 2 and 202 1 reflect ed expected full-year pre-tax operating results, impacted by our estimated U.S. federal R&D tax credit and the effects of equity compensation.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission allows the Company to offer potentially up to $200 million in debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, and other securities or any such combination of such securities in amounts, at prices, and on terms announced if and when the securities are ever offered.

The Company’s investment policy excludes ownership of collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed derivatives and other derivative securities without prior written approval of the Board of Directors. Our investments primarily consist of commercial paper and corporate bond securities and are reported at fair value as available-for-sale investments and totaled $2.0 million as of March 31, 2022. Our investment policy requires that no more than 5% of investments be held in any one credit or issue, excluding U.S. government and government agency obligations. The primary investment objective of the portfolio is to provide for the safety of principal and appropriate liquidity, while generating an above-benchmark (Barclays Short Treasury 1-3 Month Index) total rate of return on a pre-tax basis.

For full-year fiscal 2022, we anticipate an increase in SG&A expenditures of between $13 million and $15 million, as well as an increase in capital expenditures of up to $3 million, related to sales and marketing activities, including new hires, to support the commercialization of our Sublime and Pounce products. We expect that increasing SG&A expenditures in fiscal 2022 will exceed any associated increases in revenues, and therefore will reduce our cash flow from operations. We also anticipate R&D expenses will continue to be significant in full-year fiscal 2022, primarily related to medical device product development, including readiness for commercialization of our Pounce and Sublime platforms. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments, which totaled $26.7 million as of March 31, 2022, together with cash flow from operations and our revolving credit facility, will provide liquidity sufficient to meet our cash needs and fund our operations and planned capital expenditures through fiscal 2022. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will continue to generate cash flows at historic levels.

Beyond fiscal 2022, our cash requirements will depend extensively on the timing of market introduction and extent of market acceptance of products in our medical device product portfolio, including our SurVeil DCB. Our long-term cash requirements also will be significantly impacted by the level of our investment in commercialization of our vascular intervention products and whether we make future corporate transactions. We cannot accurately predict our long-term cash requirements at this time. We may seek additional sources of liquidity and capital resources, including through borrowing, debt or equity financing or corporate transactions to generate cashflow. There can be no assurance that such transactions will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all.

Customer Concentrations

We have agreements with a diverse base of customers and certain customers have multiple products using our technology. Abbott and Medtronic are our largest customers, comprising 21% and 13%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue for fiscal 2021. These same customers, Abbott and Medtronic, each comprised 10% and 12%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2022. Revenue generated under our SurVeil DCB license agreement with Abbott represented 5% of total revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2022. Apart from the SurVeil DCB license, Abbott has several separately licensed products which generate royalties revenue for Surmodics, none of which represented more than 3% of total revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2022. Medtronic has several separately licensed products that generate royalties revenue for Surmodics, none of which represented more than 4% of our total revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

Critical accounting policies are those policies that require the application of management’s most challenging subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties that are sufficiently likely to result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies. For a detailed description of our other critical accounting policies and significant estimates, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.

Forward-looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, expectations concerning: the impacts, duration and severity of the global COVID pandemic and the effects of responses to it on healthcare systems, the general economy, our business partners, and our operations; our strategies for growth; the potential results of our strategies; potential clinical strategies for our products; our intent to evaluate further clinical investment in our products; our intent to pursue certain regulatory actions; the potential impact of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) communications; our expected initiations of product evaluation activities; the potential for a future milestone payment related to our SurVeil™ drug-coated balloon (“DCB”) and the revenue that would be recognized on that milestone payment; revenue potential related to the potential commercial launch of the SurVeil DCB; anticipated future revenue from particular products; future revenue growth, our longer-term valuation-creation strategy, and our future potential; estimated future amortization expense; expectations regarding operating expenses; recognition of unrecognized compensation costs; research and development plans and expenses, including the estimated cost associated with the TRANSCEND clinical trial and the timing of those costs; anticipated cash requirements; the anticipated maturity date of our revolving credit facility; future cash flow and sources of funding, and their ability together with existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments to provide liquidity sufficient to meet our cash needs and fund our operations and planned capital expenditures through fiscal 2022; future cash requirements; plans regarding our securities investments and the potential impact of interest rate fluctuations; expectations regarding the maturity of debt; the impact of potential change in raw material prices, sources of raw materials and our ability to manufacture raw materials ourselves; the impact of Abbott, Medtronic, as well as other significant customers; our ability to recognize the expected benefits of our acquisitions; our strategic transformation to become a provider of vascular intervention medical device products; expected future income tax (expense) benefit; whether changes in our internal control over financial reporting are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting; and the impact of the adoption of new accounting pronouncements. Without limiting the foregoing, words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “possible,” “project,” “will” and similar terminology, generally identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may also represent challenging goals for us. These statements, which represent our expectations or beliefs concerning various future events, are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those of such forward-looking statements. We caution that undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Some of the factors which could cause results to differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statement are set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.

Although it is not possible to create a comprehensive list of all factors that may cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements, such factors include, among others:

• | the impacts, duration and severity of the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has impacted, and may continue to impact, our revenue, operations, the conduct of clinical studies, and our ability to access healthcare professionals and facilities;

28

Table of Contents

• | our reliance on a small number of significant customers, including our largest customers, Abbott and Medtronic, which causes our financial results and stock price to be subject to factors affecting those significant customers and their products, the timing of market introduction of their or competing products, product safety or efficacy concerns and intellectual property litigation impacting such customers, which could adversely affect our growth strategy and the royalties revenue we derive;

• | clinical and regulatory developments relating to the evaluation of risks associated with paclitaxel-coated products, which developments may adversely impact our ability to complete our TRANSCEND clinical trial on any particular time frame, obtain marketing approval (or the timing of any such approval) for our SurVeil DCB and other paclitaxel-coated products, to treat peripheral artery disease in the femoral and/or popliteal arteries;

• | our ability to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for, and commercialize our SurVeil DCB product, including our reliance on clinical research organizations to manage the TRANSCEND clinical trial and uncertainty related to the impacts of any clinical research relative to drug-coated balloons, including our Avess™ DCB, other DCB products and other catheter and balloon-based products, which will impact our ability to receive additional milestone payments under our agreement with Abbott;

• | general economic conditions that are beyond our control, such as the impact of recessions, customer mergers and acquisitions, supply chain disruptions, business investment, changes in consumer confidence, and medical epidemics or pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which has negatively impacted, and will likely continue to negatively impact, our business and results from operations;

• | a decrease in our available cash or failure to generate cash flows from operations, which could impact short-term liquidity requirements and expected capital and other expenditures;

• | our ability to comply with the covenants in our credit facility;

• | the difficulties and uncertainties associated with the lengthy and costly new product development and foreign and domestic regulatory approval processes, such as delays, difficulties or failures in achieving acceptable clinical results or obtaining foreign or U.S. FDA marketing clearances or approvals, which may result in lost market opportunities, failure to bring new products to market or postpone or preclude product commercialization by licensees or ourselves;

• | whether operating expenses that we incur related to the development and commercialization of new technologies and products are effective;

• | our ability to successfully perform product development activities, the related R&D expense impact and governmental and regulatory compliance activities, which we have not previously undertaken in any significant manner;

• | our ability to identify and execute new acquisition opportunities and successfully managing the risks associated with acquisitions, which include the potential inability to integrate acquired operations, personnel, technology, information systems, and internal control systems and products; a lack of understanding of tax, legal and cultural differences for non-U.S. acquisitions; diversion of management’s attention; difficulties and uncertainties in transitioning the customers or other business relationships from the acquired entity to us; the loss of key employees of acquired companies; and potential impacts on cash flows; and

• | other factors described under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, which you are encouraged to read carefully.

Many of these factors are outside our control and knowledge and could result in increased volatility in period-to-period results. Investors are advised not to place undue reliance upon our forward-looking statements and to consult any further disclosures by us on this subject in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our investment policy requires investments with high credit quality issuers and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. Our investments consist principally of interest-bearing corporate debt securities with varying maturity dates, which generally are less than one year. Because of the credit criteria of our investment policies, the primary market risk associated with these investments is interest rate risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk or to speculate on future changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2022, we held $2.0 million in available-for-sale debt securities with maturity dates of less than one year. Therefore, interest rate fluctuations would have an insignificant impact on our results of operations or cash flows. Our policy also allows the Company to hold a substantial portion of funds in cash and cash equivalents, which are defined as financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less and may include money market instruments, certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements and commercial paper instruments.

Management believes that a reasonable change in raw material prices would not have a material impact on future earnings or cash flows.

We are exposed to increasing Euro currency risk with respect to our manufacturing operations in Ireland. In a period where the U.S. dollar is strengthening or weakening relative to the Euro, our revenue and expenses denominated in Euro currency are translated into U.S. dollars at a lower or higher value than they would be in an otherwise constant currency exchange rate environment. All sales transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars or Euros. We generate royalties revenue from the sale of customer products in foreign jurisdictions. Royalties generated in foreign jurisdictions by customers are converted and paid in U.S. dollars per contractual terms. Substantially all of our purchasing transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars or Euros. To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative financial instruments to hedge the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, referred to collectively herein as the Certifying Officers, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Certifying Officers concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Certifying Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
