1. | Nature of Business
Anika Therapeutics, Inc., or the Company, is a global, integrated joint preservation, restoration and regenerative solutions company based in Bedford, Massachusetts. The Company’s mission is to be the global leader in orthopedic joint solutions and sports medicine with innovative technologies that exceed its customers’ expectations. Anika is committed to delivering solutions to improve the lives of patients across the orthopedic early-intervention continuum of care, ranging from joint pain management and regenerative products to sports medicine and orthopedic joint preservation and restoration. With close to three decades of expertise commercializing innovative products, Anika has expanded beyond its hyaluronic acid ("HA") technology platform, to add innovative and differentiated offerings to a consolidated orthopedic portfolio. Today, the Company is supported by direct and distributor sales forces and an active R&D engine focused on delivering innovative orthopedics solutions. In early 2020, the Company expanded its overall technology platform through its strategic acquisitions of Parcus Medical, LLC (“Parcus Medical”), a sports medicine implant and instrumentation solutions provider focused on surgical repair and reconstruction of ligaments and tendons and Arthrosurface, Incorporated (“Arthrosurface”), a joint preservation technology company specializing in less invasive joint replacement solutions. The Company expects the Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface acquisitions to drive growth by broadening Anika's product portfolio into joint preservation and restoration, adding high-growth revenue streams, expanding its commercial capabilities, diversifying its revenue base, and expanding its product pipeline and research and development expertise. There continues to be uncertainties regarding the pandemic of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), and the Company is closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of its business, including how it will impact its customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, and business partners. The Company is unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 may have on its financial position and operations moving forward due to the numerous uncertainties. Any estimates made herein may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and actual results could differ materially from any estimates made herein under different assumptions or conditions. The Company will continue to assess the evolving impact of COVID-19. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology and medical device industries including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, commercialization of existing and new products, and compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and foreign regulations and approval requirements, as well as the ability to grow the Company’s business through appropriate commercial strategies.
