ANIKA THERAPEUTICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts or as otherwise noted)

(unaudited)

1. | Nature of Business

Anika Therapeutics, Inc. (“the Company”) is a global joint preservation company that creates and delivers meaningful advancements in early intervention orthopedic care, including in the areas of osteoarthritis (“OA”) pain management, regenerative solutions, soft tissue repair and bone preserving joint technologies.

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 sports medicine and soft tissue repair, and Arthrosurface, Inc. (“Arthrosurface”), a company specializing in less invasive, bone preserving partial and total joint replacement solutions. These acquisitions broadened Anika's product portfolio, developed over its nearly 30 years of expertise in hyaluronic acid technology, into joint preservation and restoration, added high-growth revenue streams, increased its commercial capabilities, diversified its revenue base, and expanded its product pipeline and research and development expertise.

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.

There continue 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 specific 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.

2. | Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). The financial statements include the accounts of Anika Therapeutics, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. The December 31, 2020 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements filed with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Segment Information

Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its President and Chief Executive Officer as of March 31, 2021. Based on the criteria established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has one operating and reportable segment.

Recent Accounting Adoptions

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. | Business Combinations

Parcus Medical, LLC

On January 24, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Parcus Medical pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 4, 2020 (the “Parcus Medical Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parcus Medical, the Unitholder Representative, and Sunshine Merger Sub LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At the closing date, Parcus Medical became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Parcus Medical is a sports medicine implant and instrumentation solutions provider focused on surgical repair and reconstruction of soft tissue.

The acquisition of Parcus Medical has been accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805. Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination must be recorded at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Anika’s consolidated financial statements include results of operations for Parcus Medical from the January 24, 2020 acquisition date.

Consideration Transferred

Pursuant to the Parcus Medical Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all outstanding equity of Parcus Medical for estimated total purchase consideration of $75.1 million, as of January 24, 2020, which consisted of:

Cash consideration |  | $ | 32,794 |
Deferred consideration |  |  | 1,642 |
Estimated fair value of contingent consideration |  |  | 40,700 |
Estimated total purchase consideration |  | $ | 75,136 |

Contingent consideration represents additional payments that the Company may be required to make in the future, which totals up to $60.0 million depending on the level of net sales of Parcus Medical products generated in 2020 through 2022. The fair value of contingent consideration related to net sales was determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation model in an option pricing framework at the acquisition date, whereby a range of possible scenarios were simulated. Deferred consideration is related to certain purchase price holdbacks, which was resolved within one year of the acquisition date in accordance with the Parcus Merger Agreement and was recorded in accounts payable as of December 31, 2020. The liability for contingent and deferred consideration is included in current and long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and will be remeasured at each reporting period until the contingency is resolved. See Note 4, Fair Value Measurements, for additional discussion of contingent consideration as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Acquisition-related costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The Company incurred approximately $1.9 million in transaction costs related to the Parcus Medical acquisition during the three-month period ending March 31, 2020. The transaction costs subsequent to March 31, 2020 were immaterial. The transaction costs have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

8

Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired

The estimate of fair value as of the acquisition date required the use of significant assumptions and estimates. Critical estimates included, but were not limited to, future expected cash flows, including projected revenues and expenses, and the applicable discount rates. These estimates were based on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable, however, actual results may differ from these estimates.

The allocation of purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on estimates of fair value as of January 24, 2020, and is as follows:

Recognized identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: |  |  |  |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 196 |
Accounts receivable |  |  | 2,029 |
Inventories |  |  | 10,968 |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets |  |  | 364 |
Property and equipment, net |  |  | 1,099 |
Right-of-use assets |  |  | 944 |
Intangible assets |  |  | 44,000 |
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities |  |  | (2,763 | )
Other long-term liabilities |  |  | (594 | )
Lease liabilities |  |  | (735 | )
Net assets acquired |  |  | 55,508 |
Goodwill |  |  | 19,628 |
Estimated total purchase consideration |  | $ | 75,136 |

Subsequent to the acquisition date, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company completed the identification and confirmation of Parcus Medical inventory in the possession of its direct and distributor sales force, which resulted in an increase to the fair value of inventory of $1.9 million as of the January 24, 2020 acquisition date. As a result, the Company recorded this addition to inventory with a corresponding reduction to goodwill as a measurement period adjustment which was reflected to the Goodwill amount included in the table above. The impact to the consolidated statement of operations related to this adjustment was not material.

The acquired intangible assets based on estimates of fair value as of January 24, 2020 are as follows:

Developed technology |  | $ | 41,100 |
Trade name |  |  | 1,800 |
Customer relationships |  |  | 1,100 |
Total acquired intangible assets |  | $ | 44,000 |

The fair value of the developed technology intangible assets has been estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is based on the principle that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flow attributable to the asset, after charges for other assets employed by the business. The fair value of the customer relationships has been estimated using the avoided costs/lost profits method, which is based on the principle that the value of an intangible asset is based on consideration of the total costs that would be avoided by having this asset in place. The fair value of the trade name has been estimated using the relief from royalty method of the income approach, which is based on the principle that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the after-tax royalty savings attributable to owning the intangible asset. Key estimates and assumptions used in these models are projected revenues and expenses related to the asset, estimated contributory asset charges, estimated costs to recreate the asset, and a risk-adjusted discount rate used to calculate the present value of the future expected cash inflows or cash outflows avoided from the asset.

The fair value of developed technology will be amortized over a useful life of 15 years, the fair value of customer relationships over 10 years, and the fair value of the trade name over 5 years.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and assigned to the newly established reporting unit for Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface. The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the business and the value of future technologies expected to arise after the acquisition. Goodwill will not be amortized and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes as the acquisition of the limited liability company is an asset purchase for tax purposes. See Note 7, Goodwill, for further discussion.

9

Revenue and Net Loss

The Company recorded revenue from Parcus Medical of $3.9 million and a net loss of ($1.4) million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. The Company recorded revenue from Parcus Medical of $2.6 million and a net loss of ($0.9) million in the period from January 24, 2020 through March 31, 2020, excluding the goodwill impairment.

Arthrosurface, Inc.

On February 3, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Arthrosurface pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 4, 2020 (the “Arthrosurface Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Arthrosurface, the Stockholder Representative, and Button Merger Sub, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At the closing date, Arthrosurface became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Arthrosurface is a joint preservation technology company specializing in less invasive, bone-preserving partial and total joint replacement solutions.

The acquisition of Arthrosurface has been accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805. Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination must be recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Anika’s consolidated financial statements include results of operations for Arthrosurface from the February 3, 2020 acquisition date.

Consideration Transferred

Pursuant to the Arthrosurface Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all outstanding equity of Arthrosurface for estimated total purchase consideration of $90.3 million, as of February 3, 2020 which consisted of:

Cash consideration |  | $ | 61,909 |
Estimated fair value of contingent consideration |  |  | 28,376 |
Estimated total purchase consideration |  | $ | 90,285 |

Pursuant to the Arthrosurface Merger Agreement, the Company could be required to make future payments of up to $40.0 million depending on the achievement of regulatory milestones and the level of net sales of Arthrosurface products in 2020 through 2021. In October 2020, based upon the achievement of a regulatory milestone, the Company paid $5.0 million. The fair value of contingent consideration related to regulatory milestones was determined through a scenario-based discounted cash flow analysis using scenario probabilities and regulatory milestone dates. The fair value of contingent consideration related to net sales was determined based upon a Monte Carlo simulation approach at acquisition date, whereby a range of possible scenarios were simulated. The liability for contingent consideration is included in current and long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and will be remeasured at each reporting period until the contingency is resolved. See Note 4, Fair Value Measurements, for additional discussion of contingent consideration as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Acquisition-related costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The Company incurred approximately $2.2 million in transaction costs related to the Arthrosurface acquisition during the three-month period ending March 31, 2020. The transaction costs subsequent to March 31, 2020 were immaterial. The transaction costs have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired

The estimate of fair value required the use of significant assumptions and estimates. Critical estimates included, but were not limited to, future expected cash flows, including projected revenues and expenses, and the applicable discount rates. These estimates were based on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable. However, actual results may differ from these estimates.

The allocation of purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on estimates of fair value as of February 3, 2020, as follows:

Recognized identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: |  |  |  |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 1,072 |
Accounts receivable |  |  | 5,368 |
Inventories |  |  | 15,652 |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets |  |  | 535 |
Property, plant and equipment |  |  | 3,394 |
Other long-term assets |  |  | 7,548 |
Intangible assets |  |  | 48,900 |
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities |  |  | (3,929 | )
Deferred tax liabilities |  |  | (11,147 | )
Net assets acquired |  |  | 67,393 |
Goodwill |  |  | 22,892 |
Estimated total purchase consideration |  | $ | 90,285 |

Intangible assets acquired consist of: |  |  |  |
Developed technology |  | $ | 37,000 |
Trade name |  |  | 3,400 |
Customer relationships |  |  | 7,900 |
IPR&D |  |  | 600 |
Total acquired intangible assets |  | $ | 48,900 |

The fair value of the developed technology intangible assets has been estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is based on the principle that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flow attributable to the asset, after charges for other assets employed by the business. The fair value of the customer relationships has been estimated using the avoided costs/lost profits method, which is based on the principle that the value of an intangible asset is based on consideration of the total costs that would be avoided by having this asset in place. The fair value of the trade name has been estimated using the relief from royalty method of the income approach, which is based on the principle that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the after-tax royalty savings attributable to owning the intangible asset. Key estimates and assumptions used in these models are projected revenues and expenses related to the asset, estimated contributory asset charges, estimated costs to recreate the asset, and a risk-adjusted discount rate used to calculate the present value of the future expected cash inflows or cash outflows avoided from the asset.

The fair value of developed technology will be amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years, the fair value of customer relationships over 10 years, and the fair value of trade names over 5 years. A total of $0.6 million represents the fair value of IPR&D with an indefinite useful life that will be evaluated for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and assigned to the newly established reporting unit for Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface. The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the business and the value of future technologies expected to arise after the acquisition. Goodwill will not be amortized and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes as the acquisition of the corporation is a stock purchase for tax purposes See Note 7, Goodwill, for further discussion.

Revenue and Net Loss

The Company recorded revenue from Arthrosurface of $6.6 million and a net loss of ($2.8) million in the three-month period ending March 31, 2021. The Company recorded revenue from Arthrosurface of $4.2 million and a net loss of ($4.0) million in the period from February 3, 2020 through March 31, 2020, excluding the goodwill impairment.

Pro forma Information

The Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface acquisitions were both completed in the first quarter of 2020. Both acquired companies have similar businesses with all of their products in the Joint Preservation and Restoration product family, serving orthopedic surgeons, ambulatory surgical centers and hospitals. The Company has combined legacy Anika, Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface pro forma supplemental information as follows.

The unaudited pro forma information for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and the impact of acquisition date fair value adjustments. The pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Anika, Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2019 after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein include only those adjustments that are factually supportable and directly attributable to the acquisitions.

These pro forma adjustments include: (i) a net increase in amortization expense to record amortization expense for the aforementioned acquired identifiable intangible assets, (ii) an adjustment to cost of revenue based on the preliminary inventory step-up and the anticipated inventory turnover, (iii) a net decrease in interest expense as a result of eliminating interest expense and interest income related to borrowings that were settled in accordance with the respective Parcus Medical Merger Agreement and Arthrosurface Merger Agreement, (iv) an adjustment to record the acquisition-related transaction costs in the period required, and (v) the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using the anticipated effective tax rate. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be materially different from the rate presented in this unaudited pro forma combined financial information. As a result of the transaction, the combined company may be subject to annual limitations on its ability to utilize pre-acquisition net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income. The amount of the annual limitation is determined based on the value of Anika immediately prior to the acquisition. As further information becomes available, any such adjustment described above could be material to the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the combination occurred at the beginning of each period presented, or of future results of the consolidated entities.

The following table presents unaudited supplemental pro forma information:

|  | For the Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Total revenue |  | $ | 34,292 |  |  | $ | 39,350 |
Net income |  | $ | 2,838 |  |  | $ | 6,790 |

4. | Fair Value Measurements

The Company held U.S. treasury bills of $2.5 million at December 31, 2020. Unrealized losses and the associated tax impact on the Company’s available-for-sale securities were insignificant as December 31, 2020. There were no available-for-sale securities as of March 31, 2021.

The Company’s investments are all classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and are valued based quoted prices in active markets. For cash, current receivables, accounts payable, and interest accrual, the carrying amounts approximate fair value, because of the short maturity of these instruments, and therefore fair value information is not included in the table below. Contingent consideration related to the previously described business combinations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the determination of fair value uses considerable judgement and represents the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a market exchange for the asset or liability.

The classification of the Company’s cash equivalents and investments within the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

|  |  |  |  |  | Active Markets |  |  | Significant Other |  |  | Significant |  |  |  |  |

There were no transfers between fair value levels during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 or in 2020.

Contingent Consideration

The following table provides a rollforward of the contingent consideration related to business acquisitions discussed in Note 3, Business Combinations.

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 |
Balance, beginning |  | $ | 35,410 |
Additions |  |  | - |
Payments |  |  | - |
Change in fair value |  |  | (4,820 | )
Balance, ending |  | $ | 30,590 |

Under the Parcus Medical Merger Agreement and Arthrosurface Merger Agreement, there are earn-out milestones totaling $100 million payable from 2020 to 2022. Parcus Medical has net sales earn-out milestones annually from 2020 to 2022, while Arthrosurface has both regulatory and net sales earn-out milestones in 2020 and 2021. Projected contingent payment amounts are discounted back to the current period using a discounted cash flow model or a Monte Carlo simulation approach. The unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s contingent consideration are the probabilities of successful achievement, the net sales estimates, the weighted average cost of capital used for the Monte Carlo simulation, discount rate and the periods in which the milestones are expected to be achieved. The discount rates used for the net sales milestones ranged from 2.6% - 2.8%, and for the regulatory earn-out milestones the discount rate was 3.6%. As of March 31, 2021, the probability of successful achievement of the Arthrosurface regulatory earn-out milestones range from 0%-70%, as compared to a range of 60%-75% at the acquisition date. The weighted average cost of capital for Arthrosurface increased from 11.5% on the acquisition date to 12.1% as of March 31, 2021, and for Parcus Medical decreased from 14.5% at the acquisition date to 12.1% as of March 31, 2021. Increases or decreases in any of the probabilities of success in which milestones are expected to be achieved would result in a higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively. Increases or decreases in the discount rate would result in a lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively.

13

In October 2020, the Company made a regulatory-based milestone payment of $5 million pursuant to the terms of the Arthrosurface Merger Agreement as a result of regulatory clearance for the WristMotion Total Arthroplasty System. The fair value of remaining contingent consideration is assessed on a quarterly basis. The fair value of the contingent consideration decreased by $4.8 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 due primarily to the decrease in the likelihood that certain contingent milestones would be achieved and result in payment.

5. | Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:

|  | March 31, |  |  | December 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Raw materials |  | $ | 15,565 |  |  | $ | 14,852 |
Work-in-process |  |  | 11,262 |  |  |  | 12,811 |

Inventories |  | $ | 42,718 |  |  | $ | 46,209 |
Other long-term assets |  |  | 19,445 |  |  |  | 14,801 |

6. | Intangible Assets

Intangible assets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of the following:

|  |  |  |  |  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 |  |  | December 31, 2020 |  |  |  |  |
|  | Gross Value |  |  | Less: Accumulated Currency Translation Adjustment |  |  | Less: Accumulated Amortization |  |  | Net Book Value |  |  | Net Book Value |  |  | Weighted Average Useful Life |
Developed technology |  | $ | 89,580 |  |  | $ | (1,539 | ) |  | $ | (13,510 | ) |  | $ | 74,531 |  |  | $ | 75,899 |  |  |  | 15 |
IPR&D |  |  | 3,256 |  |  |  | (951 | ) |  |  | - |  |  |  | 2,305 |  |  |  | 2,587 |  |  | Indefinite |

Tradenames |  |  | 5,200 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | (1,221 | ) |  |  | 3,979 |  |  |  | 4,239 |  |  |  | 5 |
Total |  | $ | 112,736 |  |  | $ | (3,088 | ) |  | $ | (20,662 | ) |  | $ | 88,986 |  |  | $ | 91,157 |  |  |  | 13 |

The aggregate amortization expense related to intangible assets was $1.9 million and $1.3 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

7. | Goodwill

The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually, or, under certain circumstances, more frequently, such as when events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be impairment on each reporting unit. The Company has two reporting units: the legacy Anika reporting unit, which specializes in therapies based on its hyaluronic acid, or HA, technology platform, and a joint preservation and restoration reporting unit established in 2020 upon the acquisitions of Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface.

14

Changes in the carrying value of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020 were as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 |
Balance, beginning |  | $ | 8,413 |
Effect of foreign currency adjustments |  |  | (368 | )
Acquisitions |  |  | - |
Impairment loss |  |  | - |
Balance, ending |  | $ | 8,045 |

The increase in goodwill in 2020 is related to the acquisitions of Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface Inc. in January and February 2020, as further discussed in Note 3, Business Combinations. The Company performed an interim quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment as March 31, 2020, in addition to its annual impairment testing as of November 30, 2020, with respect to the joint preservation and restoration reporting unit. The results of the impairment tests indicated that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value. This was primarily due to decreases in near term revenue and related cash flows as a result of the temporary suspension of domestic elective procedures which directly impact the reporting unit. Consequently, a non-cash goodwill impairment charge was recorded in the amount of $42.5 million during 2020. The Company did not record any goodwill impairment charge with respect to legacy Anika reporting unit in 2020.

8. | Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses consist of the following:

|  | March 31, 2021 |  |  | December 31, 2020 |
Compensation and related expenses |  | $ | 5,726 |  |  | $ | 7,345 |
Professional fees |  |  | 2,904 |  |  |  | 3,438 |
Operating lease liability - current |  |  | 1,517 |  |  |  | 1,437 |
Clinical trial costs |  |  | 1,746 |  |  |  | 1,429 |
Financing lease liability - current |  |  | 119 |  |  |  | 148 |
Other |  |  | 1,448 |  |  |  | 996 |
Total |  | $ | 13,460 |  |  | $ | 14,793 |

9. | Commitments and Contingencies

In certain of its contracts, the Company warrants to its customers that the products it manufactures conform to the product specifications as in effect at the time of delivery of the specific product. The Company may also warrant that the products it manufactures do not infringe, violate, or breach any U.S. or international patent or intellectual property right, trade secret, or other proprietary information of any third party. On occasion, the Company contractually indemnifies its customers against any and all losses arising out of, or in any way connected with, any claim or claims of breach of its warranties or any actual or alleged defect in any product caused by the negligent acts or omissions of the Company. The Company maintains a products liability insurance policy that limits its exposure to these risks. Based on the Company’s historical activity, in combination with its liability insurance coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is immaterial. The Company had no accrued warranties as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020 and has no history of claims paid.

The Company is also involved from time-to-time in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Although the outcomes of these legal proceedings are inherently difficult to predict, the Company does not expect the resolution of these occasional legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

10. | Revenue

Revenue by product family was as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Joint Pain Management |  | $ | 19,316 |  |  | $ | 25,483 |

Revenue from the Company’s sole significant customer, DePuy Synthes Mitek Sports Medicine, part of the Johnson & Johnson Medical Companies (Mitek), as a percentage of the Company’s total revenue was 41% and 54% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We receive payments from our customers based on billing schedules established in each contract. Up-front payments and fees are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt or when due, and may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until we perform our obligations under these arrangements. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when our right to consideration is unconditional. Deferred revenue was $0.9 million and $0.2 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Revenue by geographic location was as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |

11. | Equity Incentive Plan

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Fair value of total shareholder return options (“TSR”) is measured by using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. Fair value of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is measured by the grant-date price of the Company’s shares. Fair value of performance restricted stock units (“PSUs”) is measured by the grant-date price of the Company’s shares with corresponding compensation cost recognized over the requisite service period. Compensation cost is recognized based on the estimated probabilities of achieving the performance goals. Changes to the probability assessment and the estimated shares expected to vest will result in adjustments to the related compensation cost that will be recorded in the period of the change. If the performance targets are not achieved, no compensation cost is recognized, and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed.

The expected volatility assumption is evaluated against the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a 4-year average, except for TSRs which is evaluated over 6.3 years, and it is adjusted if there are material changes in historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on U.S. Treasury interest rates at the time of grant.

16

The fair value of each stock option award during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31,
|  | 2021 |  | 2020
Risk free interest rate |  | 0.3% | - | 0.6% |  | 0.4% | - | 1.6%
Expected volatility |  | 54.8% | - | 55.4% |  | 46.5% | - | 49.4%
Expected life (years) |  |  | 4.0 |  |  |  | 4.0 |
Expected dividend yield |  |  | 0.0% |  |  |  | 0.0% |

The Company presents the expenses related to stock-based compensation awards in the same expense line items as cash compensation paid to each of its employees as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Cost of revenue |  | $ | 129 |  |  | $ | 146 |
Research and development |  |  | 241 |  |  |  | 196 |
Selling, general and administrative |  |  | 1,889 |  |  |  | (549 | )
Total stock-based compensation expense |  | $ | 2,259 |  |  | $ | (207 | )

On January 29, 2020, the Company announced the unexpected death of its former President and Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Darling. According to the terms of Mr. Darling’s equity award grants and the Anika Therapeutics, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), the unvested portion of his stock-based compensation was forfeited upon his death, resulting in a one-time benefit of $1.8 million that was fully recognized during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 within selling, general and administrative expenses.

The following table sets forth share information for stock-based compensation awards granted and exercised during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |

Stock options |  |  | 2,667 |  |  |  | 363 |

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, the Company granted stock-based compensation awards in the form of stock options, and RSUs to employees and RSUs to non-employee directors, the majority of which become exercisable or vest ratably over a three-year period. Of the 421,463 stock options granted during the first quarter of 2021, 301,845 shares were premium-priced options which were granted with an exercise price at 110% of the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

12. | Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, resulting in an effective tax rate of (133.6%). The provision for income taxes was $1.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, based on an effective tax rate of 21.4%. The net decrease in the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily due to the $1.7 million tax benefit on the decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration, recognized as a discrete benefit in the first quarter of 2021.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States on a federal basis, in certain U.S. states, and in certain foreign jurisdictions. The associated tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate.

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements, the Company assessed whether it is more likely than not that it will be able to utilize, in future periods, the deferred income taxes to offset future taxable income. The Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that the majority of its deferred tax assets will be realized through consideration of both the positive and negative evidence. At December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a valuation allowance in the amount of $0.9 million related to net operating loss carryforwards at its Italian subsidiary due to the uncertainty regarding their realization. The Company did not record an additional valuation allowance at March 31, 2021.

13. | Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Unvested restricted shares, although legally issued and outstanding, are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating basic earnings per share. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding stock options (including TSRs), SARs, RSAs, RSUs, and PSUs using the treasury stock method.

The following table provides share information used in the calculation of the Company's basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share |  |  | 14,343 |  |  |  | 14,202 |
Effect of dilutive securities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Stock options, RSAs, PSUs and RSUs |  |  | 92 |  |  |  | 151 |
Diluted shares used in the calculation of earnings per share |  |  | 14,435 |  |  |  | 14,353 |

Stock options of 1.2 million and 0.6 million shares were outstanding for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the awards’ impact on EPS would have been anti-dilutive.

Management Overview

We are a global joint preservation company that creates and delivers meaningful advancements in early intervention orthopedic care. Based on our collaborations with clinicians to understand what they need most to treat their patients, we develop minimally invasive products that restore active living for people around the world. We are committed to leading in high opportunity spaces within orthopedics, including osteoarthritis, or OA, pain management, regenerative solutions, soft tissue repair and bone preserving joint technologies.

We have nearly thirty years of global expertise developing, manufacturing and commercializing products based on our hyaluronic acid, or HA, technology platform. HA is a naturally occurring polymer found throughout the body that is vital for proper joint health and tissue function. Our proprietary technologies for modifying the HA molecule allow product properties to be tailored specifically to multiple uses, including enabling longer residence time to support OA pain management and creating a solid form of HA called HYAFF, which is the platform for our regenerative solutions portfolio.

In early 2020, we expanded our overall technology platform and significantly enhanced our commercial infrastructure, especially in the United States, through our strategic acquisitions of Parcus Medical, LLC, or Parcus Medical, a sports medicine implant and instrumentation solutions provider focused on sports medicine and soft tissue repair, and Arthrosurface, Inc., or Arthrosurface, a company specializing in less invasive, bone preserving partial and total joint replacement solutions. Through these acquisitions, we have transformed our company. We expanded our addressable market from the over $1 billion global OA pain management market to the over $8 billion joint preservation market (which includes the faster growing sports medicine and extremities segments), improved our commercial capabilities, and expanded our product pipeline and research and development expertise in our target markets.

19

As we look towards the future, our business is positioned to capture value within our target market of joint preservation. We believe our success will be driven by our:

| ● | Decades of experience in HA-based regenerative solutions and early intervention orthopedics combined under new, common management with a strong financial foundation for future investment in meaningful solutions for our customers;

| ● | Robust network of stakeholders in our target markets to identify evolving unmet patient treatment needs;

| ● | Prioritized investment in differentiated research and development programs;

| ● | Expansion of our commercial capabilities globally within joint preservation;

| ● | Opportunity to pursue strategic inorganic growth opportunities, including potential partnerships and acquisitions, leveraging our strong financial foundation and operational capabilities; and

| ● | Energized and experienced team focused on strong values, talent, and culture.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the spread of the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic. This pandemic has caused an economic downturn on a global scale, as well as significant volatility in the financial markets. There has been significant volatility in our results on a quarterly basis due to the worldwide cancellation or delay of elective procedures, as well as the impact on timelines associated with certain clinical studies. While elective procedure volume had a limited recovery after the initial pandemic impacts seen in the first and early parts of second quarter of 2020 due to the easing of COVID-19 related restrictions in certain jurisdictions, areas of the United States and other countries have recently seen, and continue to see, fluctuating infection rates, which makes future results difficult to predict despite recent advances in vaccinations for certain parts of the population. In this time of uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken many precautions to provide a safe work environment for our employees and customers, including the establishment and implementation of a work from home policy, where possible. We may have to take further actions that we determine are in the best interests of our employees or as required by federal, state, or local authorities. To date, we do not anticipate disruption to our ability to supply products to our customers. Our commercial day-to-day operations have been impacted due to the worldwide cancellation or delay of elective procedures, and timelines associated with certain clinical studies and research and development programs have been delayed. While the impact has been limited to these items to date, we caution that there continues to be a possibility for potential future implementation of certain additional restrictions in certain jurisdictions. The impact of these restrictions on our operations, if implemented, is currently unknown, but could be significant.

Revenue

Revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was $34.3 million, a decrease of $1.1 million as compared to $35.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, primarily as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on procedure volumes and Mitek’s related ordering patterns, offset by the inclusion of full quarter results of Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface, which we acquired on January 24, 2020 and February 3, 2020, respectively. Our consolidated financial statements include the results of operations for these acquired businesses from their respective acquisition dates.

|  | $ | 34,292 |  |  | $ | 35,397 |  |  | $ | (1,105 | ) |  |  | (3 | %)

Revenue from our Joint Pain Management product family decreased, primarily due to the worldwide impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on elective procedure volumes and associated ordering patterns from Mitek. Revenue from our Joint Preservation and Restoration product family increased primarily due to the inclusion of full quarter results from Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface, as well as organic growth. Revenue from our Other product family increased due to the sell through of legacy wound care products.

Gross Profit and Margin

Gross profit for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 decreased $0.2 million to $21.0 million, representing a 61% gross margin, for the period. The decrease in gross profit for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily a result of the impact of COVID-19 on volumes offset by full quarter results of acquired businesses. The gross margin included the impact of inventory step-up associated with the Arthrosurface and Parcus Medical acquisitions, as well as acquisition-related amortization expenses, which together increased cost of revenue by $4.1 million, or 12 points of gross margin, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to increased cost of revenue of $3.0 million, or 9 points of gross margin, for the same period in 2020.

22

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 were $6.4 million, an increase of $0.3 million as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to full quarter results from Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 were $18.2 million, an increase of $3.7 million, as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was due to full quarter results from Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface, increased spending to support our commercial capability in the United States, an increase in incentive-based compensation, an increase in share based compensation expense due to the forfeiture of unvested shares during the comparable period, and a non-cash impairment charge related to fixed assets, partially offset by the absence of transaction costs related to acquisition of Parcus and Arthrosurface.

Goodwill Impairment Charge

We assess goodwill for impairment annually, or, under certain circumstances, more frequently, such as when events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be impairment. U.S. government policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting changes in healthcare guidelines caused a temporary suspension of domestic elective surgical procedures. As a result of these events, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, we performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment related to the Parcus and Arthrosurface reporting unit as of March 31, 2020. The results of these interim impairment tests indicated that the estimated fair value of this reporting unit was less than its carrying value. Consequently, a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $18.1 million was recorded in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. The decline in fair value was primarily due to decreases in immediate term revenue and related cash flows as a result of the temporary suspension of domestic elective procedures which directly impact the Parcus and Arthrosurface reporting unit. There were no indicators of goodwill impairment and therefore no goodwill impairment charges were recorded during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021.

Contingent Consideration Fair Value Change

In the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a net benefit of $4.8 million related to the change in fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities incurred as a result of the acquisition of Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface in January and February of 2020, respectively. The liability for contingent consideration is remeasured at each reporting period until the contingency is resolved. The net decrease in fair value of the contingent consideration as of March 31, 2021 is due primarily to the decrease in the likelihood that certain contingent milestones would be achieved and result in payment.

Income Taxes

The benefit from income taxes was $1.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, resulting in an effective tax rate of (133.6%). The provision for income taxes was $1.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, based on effective tax rates of 21.4%. The net decrease in the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily due to the $1.7 million tax benefit on the decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration, recognized as a discrete benefit in the first quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present certain information with respect to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share, which are financial measures not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

We have presented adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted earnings per share because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and to develop operational goals for managing our business. We believe these financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the expenses eliminated in calculating these measures can provide a useful tool for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

23

Adjusted EBITDA

We present information below with respect to adjusted EBITDA, which we define as our net income (loss) excluding interest and other income, net, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, product rationalization, and acquisition related expenses. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have also excluded the impacts of goodwill impairment charges and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration associated with our acquisition transactions in early 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), which is the nearest GAAP equivalent. Some of these limitations are:

| ● | adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated or amortized may have to be replaced in the future, the cash requirements for which are not reflected in adjusted EBITDA;

| ● | we exclude stock-based compensation expense from adjusted EBITDA although (a) it has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy and (b) if we did not pay out a portion of our compensation in the form of stock-based compensation, the cash salary expense included in operating expenses would be higher, which would affect our cash position;

| ● | we exclude acquisition related expenses, including transaction costs and other related expenses, amortization and depreciation of acquired assets, and the impact of inventory fair-value step up on cost of revenue;

| ● | we exclude certain impairment charges, including certain product rationalization charges related to non-core legacy assets as a result of managing our financial position in light of our recent acquisitions, the impact of COVID-19 and changing regulatory requirements;

| ● | we exclude goodwill impairment charges and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration;

| ● | the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from adjusted EBITDA when they report their operating results;

| ● | adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;

| ● | adjusted EBITDA does not reflect provision for (benefit from) income taxes or the cash requirements to pay taxes; and

| ● | adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments.

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
|  | (in thousands) |
Net income |  | $ | 2,838 |  |  | $ | 5,793 |
Interest and other income, net |  |  | 43 |  |  |  | (279 | )
(Benefit from) provision for income taxes |  |  | (1,623 | ) |  |  | 1,580 |
Depreciation and amortization |  |  | 1,721 |  |  |  | 1,673 |
Share-based compensation |  |  | 2,259 |  |  |  | (207 | )

Goodwill impairment |  |  | - |  |  |  | 18,144 |
Change in fair value of contingent consideration |  |  | (4,820 | ) |  |  | (24,522 | )
Adjusted EBITDA |  | $ | 4,783 |  |  | $ | 9,508 |

Adjusted EBITDA in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 decreased $4.7 million as compared with the same period in 2020. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA for the period was primarily due to lower revenues as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in selling and marketing expenses primarily attributable to increased cost to support our direct sales force for the Joint Preservation and Restoration product family, as well as a non-cash impairment charge related to fixed assets.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS

We present information below with respect to adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, which we refer to as adjusted EPS. We define adjusted net income as our net income excluding acquisition-related expenses, amortization and depreciation of acquired assets, the impact of inventory fair-value step up on cost of revenue and the impacts of goodwill impairment charges and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, as well as certain impairment charges, including non-cash product rationalization charges associated with certain non-core legacy products, on a tax effected basis. Acquisition related expenses are those that the we would not have incurred except as a direct result of acquisition transactions. Acquisition related expenses consist of investment banking, legal, accounting, and other professional and related expenses. The amortized assets contribute to revenue generation, and the amortization of such assets will recur in future periods until such assets are fully amortized. These assets include the estimated fair value of certain identified assets acquired in acquisitions, including in-process research and development, developed technology, customer relationships and acquired tradenames. We define adjusted EPS as GAAP diluted earnings per share excluding the above adjustments to net income used in calculating adjusted net income, each on a per share and tax effected basis.

The following is a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |

Adjusted diluted EPS |  | $ | 0.06 |  |  | $ | 0.45 |

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 decreased $5.7 million and $0.39, respectively, as compared with the same period in 2020. The decrease for the period was primarily due to lower revenues as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in selling and marketing expenses primarily attributable to increased costs to support our direct sales force for the Joint Preservation and Restoration product family, increase in share based compensation expense due to the forfeiture of unvested shares during the comparable period and a non-cash impairment charge related to fixed assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We require cash to fund our operating expenses and to make capital expenditures. We expect that our requirements for cash to fund these uses will increase as our operations expand. Historically we have generated positive cash flow from operations, which, together with our available cash, investments, and debt, have met our cash requirements. Cash, cash equivalents, and investments aggregated $94.6 million and $98.3 million, and working capital totaled $126.5 million and $140.5 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We are closely monitoring our liquidity and capital resources for any potential impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our operations.

Cash used in operating activities was $2.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1.0 million for the same period in 2020. The change was primarily attributable to lower sales due to the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in accounts receivable due to timing of collections, increase in inventories and timing of certain state tax payments, partially off-set by a decrease in cash outflows related to acquisition related expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021.

Cash provided by investing activities was $1.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $92.5 million for the same period in 2020. The change was primarily due to the consideration paid for the acquisitions of Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.

Cash used in financing activities was $0.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to cash used in financing activities of $0.1 million for the same period in 2020. In both periods, the cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to utilization of cash for employee tax withholding in exchange for shares surrendered by equity award holders.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe that our accounting policies for revenue recognition, accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses, goodwill, acquired in-process research and development, inventory and contingencies are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. There have been no significant changes to the above critical accounting policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in such policies from those disclosed in our annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2020 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for adoption of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in this report. We monitor our estimates on an ongoing basis for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A discussion of Recent Accounting Pronouncements is included in our 2020 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and is updated in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments

Our contractual obligations and other commercial commitments are summarized in the section captioned “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments” in our 2020 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no material changes to our contractual obligations reported in our 2020 Form 10-K during the three months ended March 31, 2021. For additional discussion, see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

To the extent that funds generated from our operations, together with our existing capital resources, are insufficient to meet future requirements, we will be required to obtain additional funds through equity or debt financings, strategic alliances with corporate partners and others, or through other sources. No assurance can be given that any additional financing will be made available to us or will be available on acceptable terms should such a need arise.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not use special purpose entities or other off-balance sheet financing techniques that we believe have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our market risks and the ways we manage them are summarized in the section captioned “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes in the first three months of 2021 to our market risks or to our management of such risks.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

| (a) | Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. On an on-going basis, we review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

| (b) | Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.

27

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we completed the integration of the internal controls of the acquired Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface businesses into our existing operations. There were no other material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, that have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: | OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved from time-to-time in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Although the outcomes of these legal proceedings are inherently difficult to predict, we do not expect the resolution of these occasional legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow. There have been no material changes to the information provided in the section captioned “Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in the section captioned “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the section captioned “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

Our operations and products are subject to extensive regulation, compliance with which is costly and time consuming, and our failure to comply may result in substantial penalties, including recalls of our products.

The FDA and foreign regulatory bodies impose extensive regulations applicable to our operations and products, including regulations governing product standards, packing requirements, labeling requirements, quality system and manufacturing requirements, import restrictions, tariff regulations, duties, and tax requirements. We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve and maintain compliance required for FDA, CE marking, or other foreign regulatory approvals for any or all of our operations and products or that we will be able to produce our products in a timely and profitable manner while complying with applicable requirements.

Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in substantial penalties, including warning letters, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production, refusal to grant pre-market clearance or pre-market approval for devices or drugs, withdrawal of approvals, and criminal prosecution. Additionally, regulatory authorities have the power to require the recall of our products. It also might be necessary for us, in applicable circumstances, to initiate a voluntary recall per regulatory requirements of one or several of our products. The imposition of any of the foregoing penalties, whether voluntarily or involuntary, could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

On March 10, 2021, we learned that certain lots of cannulas that we source from a supplier and that are packaged with specific presentations of our Hyalobarrier and Hyaloglide products sold in various countries outside the United States could not be guaranteed to be sterile due to the provision of inaccurate sterility records related to those lots by that supplier’s third-party sterilizer. Due to the resulting inability of our supplier to ensure sterility, we are in the process of implementing an appropriate voluntary field action as part of a corrective action plan, managed in conjunction with our distributors, related to the products in the affected jurisdictions. Based on the information available to us, we do not believe that this will materially impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations. We will continue to review the overall situation, and further information that might be uncovered or decisions that may be made by regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over these products could lead to business or operating results that are different than what we currently expect. This matter is illustrative of the risks we face in the highly-regulated life sciences industry and the efforts that are necessary to ensure patient safety and compliance with applicable regulations in the global marketplace.

ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Under our equity compensation plans, and subject to the specific approval of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, grantees have the option of electing to satisfy tax withholding obligations at the time of vesting or exercise by allowing us to withhold shares of stock otherwise issuable to the grantee. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, we withheld 8,972 shares to satisfy grantee tax withholding obligations on restricted stock unit vesting events.

Following is a summary of stock repurchases for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 (in thousands, except share data):

Period |  | Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (2) |  |  | Average Price per Share |  |  | Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares that May Yet be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs(1) |
January 1 to 31, 2021 |  |  | - |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 20,000 |
February 1 to 28, 2021 |  |  | 8,972 |  |  | $ | 37.11 |  |  | $ | 20,000 |
March 1 to 31, 2021 |  |  | - |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 20,000 |
Total |  |  | 8,972 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

(1) | On May 2, 2019, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a $50.0 million share repurchase program with $30.0 million to be utilized for an accelerated share repurchase program and $20.0 million reserved for open market repurchases. Through March 31, 2021, we had made no open market repurchases. On May 7, 2019, we entered into a previously-announced accelerated share repurchase agreement, or the ASR Agreement, to repurchase an aggregate of $30.0 million of common stock. During the second quarter of 2019, 451,694 shares were delivered to us, constituting the initial delivery of shares and representing 60% of the then estimated total number of shares expected to be repurchased under the ASR Agreement. On January 14, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the ASR Agreement, Morgan Stanley accelerated the final settlement date from February 2020, and the final number of shares and the average purchase price was determined. Based on the volume-weighted average price from the effective date of the ASR Agreement through January 14, 2020, less the applicable contractual discount, Morgan Stanley delivered 139,057 additional shares to us on January 17, 2020. In total, 590,751 shares were repurchased under the ASR Agreement at an average repurchase price of approximately $50.78. All shares were repurchased in accordance with the publicly announced program.
(2) | 8,972 shares were withheld by us to satisfy grantee tax withholding obligations on restricted stock unit vesting events in February 2021.
