MEDIFAST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Medifast, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and notes that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations have been included and management believes the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2018 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (“2018 Form 10-K”).

Presentation of Financial Statements - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein include the accounts of the Medifast, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassification - Certain amounts reported for prior periods have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. No reclassification in the consolidated financial statements had a material impact on the presentation.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019 – In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) to address a specific consequence of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) by allowing a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the TCJA’s reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. This ASU was effective for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and was to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2019. There was no material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations or cash flows. The Company's policy for releasing disproportionate income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income utilizes the portfolio approach.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, including operating leases, and also requires disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Subsequent to the issuance of Topic 842, the FASB clarified the guidance through several ASUs; hereinafter the collection of lease guidance is referred to as “ASC 842.”

Table of Contents

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective method for all lease arrangements at the beginning of the period of adoption. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019 are presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 840, Leases. The standard had a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated net earnings and cash flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. For leases that commenced before the effective date of ASC 842, the Company elected the permitted practical expedients that do not require the Company to reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected to exclude leases with a term of 12 months or less in the recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities.

As a result of the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 842, the Company recorded ROU assets of $11.9 million, net of $686 thousand of accrued rent, and lease liabilities of $12.6 million as of January 1, 2019, primarily related to office and warehouse space and certain equipment, based on the present value of the future lease payments on the date of adoption.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also consists of any prepaid lease payments and lease incentives received. The lease terms used to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense. See Note 5 “LEASES” for additional information about this adoption.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which addresses the accounting for implementation costs associated with a hosted service. The standard provides amendments to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2018-15 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. INVENTORIES

Inventories consist principally of packaged meal replacements held in the Company’s warehouses. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The cost of finished goods includes the cost of raw materials, packaging supplies, direct and indirect labor and other indirect manufacturing costs. On a quarterly basis, management reviews inventory for unsalable or obsolete inventory.

Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) computations are calculated utilizing the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted EPS is calculated utilizing the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share data):

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Three months ended September 30, | ​ | Nine months ended September 30, | ​
​ | ​ | 2019 | ​ | 2018 | ​ | 2019 | ​ | 2018 | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Numerator: | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Net income | ​ | $ | 15,902 | ​ | $ | 13,781 | ​ | $ | 58,035 | ​ | $ | 40,136 | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Denominator: | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding | ​ | ​ | 11,731 | ​ | ​ | 11,954 | ​ | ​ | 11,823 | ​ | ​ | 12,006 | ​
Effect of dilutive common stock equivalents | ​ | ​ | 334 | ​ | ​ | 143 | ​ | ​ | 351 | ​ | ​ | 106 | ​
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding | ​ | ​ | 12,065 | ​ | ​ | 12,097 | ​ | ​ | 12,174 | ​ | ​ | 12,112 | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Earnings per share - basic | ​ | $ | 1.36 | ​ | $ | 1.15 | ​ | $ | 4.91 | ​ | $ | 3.34 | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Earnings per share - diluted | ​ | $ | 1.32 | ​ | $ | 1.14 | ​ | $ | 4.77 | ​ | $ | 3.31 | ​

​

The calculation of diluted EPS excluded 1,100 and 0 antidilutive options outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 876 and 214 antidilutive options outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The calculation of diluted EPS also excluded 1,374 and 43 antidilutive restricted stock awards for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 709 and 297 antidilutive restricted stock awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. EPS is computed independently for each of the periods presented above, and accordingly, the sum of the quarterly earnings per common share may not equal the year-to-date total computed.

4. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options:

The Company has issued non-qualified and incentive stock options to employees and nonemployee directors. The fair value of these options are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires estimates of the expected term of the option, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, and dividend yield. Options outstanding as of September 30, 2019 generally vest over a period of three years and expire ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price of these options ranges from $26.52 to $171.68. Due to the Company’s lack of option exercise history, the expected term is calculated using the simplified method defined as the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term of each option. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant that most closely corresponds to the expected term of the option. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period of time equivalent to the expected term for each award. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company did not grant stock options. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the weighted average input assumptions used were as follows:

​ | ​
​ | 2018
Expected term (in years) | 6.4
Risk-free interest rate | 2.64%
Expected volatility | 33.30%
Dividend yield | 2.87%

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Certain financial assets and liabilities are accounted for at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.

Table of Contents

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant.

The following tables represent cash and the available-for-sale securities adjusted cost, gross unrealized losses and fair value by significant investment category recorded as cash and cash equivalents or investment securities (in thousands):

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will,” and similar expressions, which are not historical in nature, identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words or expressions does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, including statements relating to future operating results, are forward-looking statements. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in our 2018 Form 10-K, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the SEC.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere herein.

As a result, beginning in the first quarter of 2018, we changed how we report financial performance to align with changes in the way we now manage the business and now operate and report as a single sales segment, OPTAVIA. We previously disclosed entity-wide financial information for multiple segments (e.g. OPTAVIA, Medifast Direct, Franchise Medifast Weight Control Centers and Medifast Wholesale). Although we have one reportable segment, we continue to market our products and programs through our Medifast Direct ecommerce platform and our Franchise Medifast Weight Control Center channels.

​

OPTAVIA encompasses our community of OPTAVIA Coaches, our OPTAVIA health and wellness programs, and our proprietary OPTAVIA-branded products. The OPTAVIA Integrated Coaching Model is centered around providing focused, individualized attention to our clients. Our OPTAVIA Coaches provide the support and encouragement for clients to successfully learn and adopt a more healthy lifestyle. This clinically-proven model translates into better client results when compared to programs that leave individuals to adopt and maintain healthy habits on their own. Our clients receive personalized attention from our OPTAVIA Coaches who share, educate, motivate and pass along their passion for healthy living. We believe this personal, direct-sales and service strategy is optimal for activating and supporting our clients.

Our OPTAVIA Coaches are independent contractors, not employees, who support our clients and market our products and services primarily through word of mouth, email, direct mail and via social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Zoom. As direct-sales entrepreneurs, OPTAVIA Coaches market our products to friends, family and other acquaintances with whom they have established strong relationships.

The entrepreneurial success of our OPTAVIA Coaches is the key to our success. We are focused on scaling our OPTAVIA Integrated Coaching Model by offering economic incentives that are attractive to independent entrepreneurs and reflective of the new “gig economy.” Our successful clients frequently become enthusiastic health and wellness advocates themselves and choose to become OPTAVIA Coaches. This process of clients becoming OPTAVIA Coaches underpins our growth.

​

As we previously disclosed, global expansion is an important component of our long-term growth strategy. In July 2019, we commenced our international operations, entering into the Asia Pacific markets of Hong Kong and Singapore. Our decision to enter these markets was based on industry market research that reflects a dynamic shift in how health care is being prioritized and consumed in those countries.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management develops, and changes periodically, these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue: Revenue increased $50.9 million, or 36.5%, to $190.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $139.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This is the tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth and the eleventh consecutive quarter of sequential revenue improvement. The number of active earning OPTAVIA Coaches for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased to 32,200 from 22,600 for the corresponding period in 2018, an increase of 42.5%. The quarterly revenue per OPTAVIA Coach decreased 1.1% to $5,715 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $5,781 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Revenue increased $187.8 million, or 52.9%, to $543.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $355.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This growth in revenue for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 resulted in part from business initiatives accelerating new OPTAVIA Coach conversions and new clients starting our plans, aided by the ongoing transition of clients to higher priced OPTAVIA branded products. OPTAVIA-branded products represented 78% of consumable units sold for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 70% for the corresponding period in 2018 and 76% of consumable units sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 73% for the corresponding period in 2018.

Costs of sales: Cost of sales increased $15.1 million, or 47.1%, to $47.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from the corresponding period in 2018 and increased $49.9 million, or 59.2%, to $134.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from the corresponding period in 2018. The increase in cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily driven by increased product sales.

Gross profit: For the three months ended September 30, 2019, gross profit increased $35.7 million, or 33.3%, to $142.9 million from the corresponding period in 2018. As a percentage of sales, gross margin decreased 180 basis points to 75.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from 77.0% for the corresponding period in 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, gross profit increased $138.0 million, or 51.0%, to $408.8 million from the corresponding period in 2018. As a percentage of sales, gross margin decreased 90 basis points to 75.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 76.2% for the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease in gross profit percentage for the quarter and year-to-date periods were driven primarily by higher shipping expenses and higher product returns related to disruptions to normal business operations.

Selling, general and administrative: Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $122.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $33.0 million, or 36.7%, as compared to $89.7 million from the corresponding period in 2018. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 64.5% as compared to 64.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. SG&A expenses included research and development costs of $619 thousand and $621 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, SG&A expenses increased $115.0 million, or 51.9%, to $336.5 million from $221.5 million for the corresponding period in 2018. SG&A expenses included $1.8 million and $1.6 million in research and development costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 62.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to 62.4% for the corresponding period in 2018. The increase for the quarter and year-to-date were primarily a result of higher variable costs such as OPTA VIA commission expense and credit card processing fees as a result of higher sales. In addition, SG&A expenses increased as a result of increased consulting costs related to information technology projects, along with higher cost for the Company’s annual convention held in July 2019. SG&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 included $3.2 million of cost related to a highly organized automated scheme using stolen identities and credit cards from outside the Company’s systems, to transact business on the Company’s e-commerce sites. Each of these transactions was pre-approved, prior to shipment, by the payment processor and subsequently reported to the Company as utilizing a stolen card. These expenses were $2.8 million, or $0.18 EPS, higher than the corresponding period in 2018 and were primarily comprised of higher bad debt and credit card fees.

OPTAVIA commission expense, which is variable based upon product sales, increased $20.8 million, or 36.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from the corresponding period in 2018 and increased $83.8 million, or 59.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from the corresponding period in 2018. These increases were primarily the result of increased product sales and number of active earning OPTAVIA Coaches. As OPTAVIA revenue increased as a portion of the Company’s total sales mix, the commission rate as a percentage of revenue increased 10 basis points to 40.6% for the third quarter of 2019 compared to 40.5% for the third quarter last year and increased 180 basis points to 41.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 39.4% for the corresponding period in 2018. This is an outcome of the success we are experiencing with our OPTAVIA Integrated Coach Model.

​

Income from operations: For the three months ended September 30, 2019, income from operations increased $2.8 million to $20.3 million from $17.5 million for the corresponding period in 2018 primarily as a result of increased gross profits partially offset by increased SG&A expenses. Income from operations as a percentage of sales was 10.7% and 12.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, income from operations increased $23.0 million to $72.3 million from $49.3 million for the corresponding period in 2018 primarily as a result of increased gross profits partially offset by increased SG&A expenses. Income from operations as a percentage of sales was 13.3% and 13.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

​

Interest income, net: For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, interest income was $324 thousand and $1.1 million, respectively and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest income was $361 thousand and $940 thousand, respectively.

​

Other income (expense): For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, other income (expense) was an expense of $3 thousand and $0, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, other income (expense) was an expense of $11 thousand and income of $178 thousand, respectively.

Income from operations before income taxes: Income from operations before income taxes was $20.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $17.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $2.8 million. Income from operations before income taxes as a percentage of sales decreased to 10.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from 12.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Income from operations before income taxes was $73.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $50.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of $23.0 million. Income from operations before income taxes as a percentage of sales decreased to 13.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 14.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

​

Provision for income tax: For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $4.7 million in income tax expense, an effective rate of 22.7%, as compared to $4.0 million in income tax expense, an effective rate of 22.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The effective tax rate was negatively impacted by the tax effects of foreign operating results offset by favorable effects of state income taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $15.3 million in income tax expense, an effective rate of 20.9%, as compared to $10.2 million in income tax expense, an effective rate of 20.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily driven by the tax effects of foreign operating results partially offset by a decrease in the excess tax benefits for share-based compensation and a decrease in state income taxes. The Company anticipates a full year tax rate of 21.0% to 22.0% in 2019, exclusive of any discrete tax benefits from share-based compensation awards vesting in the fourth quarter.

Net income: Net income was $15.9 million and $58.0 million, or $1.32 and $4.77 per diluted share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $13.8 million and $40.1 million, or $1.14 and $3.31 per diluted share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The period-over-period changes were driven by the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had stockholders’ equity of $111.2 million and working capital of $80.8 million at September 30, 2019 as compared with $109.1 million and $85.2 million at December 31, 2018, respectively. The $2.1 million net increase in stockholder’s equity reflects $58.0 million in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 offset by $33.1 million spent on repurchases of 296,230 shares of the Company’s common stock, and $26.5 million for declared dividends paid to holders of the Company’s common stock as well as the other equity transactions described in the “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity” included in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. The Company declared a dividend of $8.8 million, or $0.75 per share, to common stockholders as of September 27, 2019 that will be paid in the fourth quarter of 2019. While we intend to continue the dividend program and believe we will have sufficient liquidity to do so, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to continue to declare and pay dividends. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities decreased from $101.0 million at December 31, 2018 to $96.9 million at September 30, 2019.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $19.6 million to $65.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $45.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily as a result of increased net income.

Net cash used in investing activities was $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $817 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This change resulted from an increase in cash used in capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from the corresponding period in 2018 partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in sale and maturities of investment securities.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $22.4 million to $59.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $37.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was due to a $13.1 million increase in stock repurchases and a $9.3 million increase in cash dividends paid to stockholders.

In pursuing its business strategy, the Company may require additional cash for operating and investing activities. The Company expects future cash requirements, if any, to be funded from operating cash flow and financing activities.

The Company evaluates acquisitions from time to time as presented.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and a decline in the stock market. The Company does not enter into derivatives, foreign exchange transactions or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and market pricing impacting our investment portfolio. Its current investment policy is to maintain an investment portfolio consisting of municipal bonds, U.S. money market securities, and high-grade corporate securities, directly or through managed funds. Its cash is deposited in and invested through highly rated financial institutions in North America. Its marketable securities are subject to interest rate risk and market pricing risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase or if market pricing decreases. If market interest rates were to increase and market pricing were to decrease immediately and uniformly by 10% from levels at September 30, 2019, the Company estimates that the fair value of its investment portfolio would decline by an immaterial amount and therefore it would not expect its operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a change in market conditions on our investments.

There have been no material changes to our market risk exposure since December 31, 2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of September 30, 2019. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and on a timely basis. Based on this evaluation performed in accordance with the criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, our management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

There have been no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We implemented additional internal controls to ensure we properly assessed and accounted for the impact of the new accounting standard related to leases on our financial statements which became effective on January 1, 2019. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting related to the adoption of the new standard.

Part II Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is, from time to time, subject to a variety of litigation and similar proceedings that arise out of the ordinary course of its business. Based upon the Company’s experience, current information and applicable law, it does not believe that these proceedings and claims will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or liquidity. However, the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, it is possible that the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could be materially adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more legal actions.
