ALPHATEC HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. The Company and Basis of Presentation
The Company
Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Alphatec Spine, Inc. (“Alphatec Spine”) and SafeOp Surgical, Inc. (“SafeOp”), designs, develops, and markets technology for the treatment of spinal disorders. The Company markets its products in the U.S. via independent sales agents and a direct sales force.
On March 8, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of SafeOp, pursuant to a reverse triangular merger of SafeOp into a newly created wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with SafeOp being the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
On September 1, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its international distribution operations and agreements (collectively, the “International Business”) to Globus Medical Ireland, Ltd., a subsidiary of Globus Medical, Inc., and its affiliated entities (collectively “Globus”). As a result of this transaction, the International Business has been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is reported as discontinued operations. See Note 4 for additional information on the divestiture of the International Business.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to a quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 that was filed with the SEC on March 17, 2020. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020, or any other future periods.
Liquidity
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within twelve months after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s evaluation entails analyzing prospective operating budgets and forecasts for expectations of the Company’s cash needs and comparing those needs to the current cash and cash equivalent balances, and availability under existing credit facilities.
The Company’s capital requirements over the next twelve months will depend on many factors, including the ability to achieve anticipated revenue, manage operating expense and the timing of required investments in inventory and instrument sets to support its customers.
On October 16, 2020, the Company closed a public offering (the “Offering”) in which it issued and sold a total

The COVID-19 Pandemic
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In late 2019, a novel strain of Coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 has spread globally to all countries, including to the United States. The global spread of the virus has led to unprecedented restrictions on, and disruptions in business and personal activities, which include preventive and precautionary measures that governments, communities, business partners, and the Company have taken and continue to take to manage the impact and mitigate any further spread of the virus. To date, the Company has taken steps to help keep its workforce healthy and safe and is assessing and updating its plans on an ongoing basis, as new information related to the virus and its impact become available.
The Company's future results of operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by delays in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms, supply chain disruptions and uncertain demand, and the impact of any further initiatives or programs that the Company may undertake to address financial and operations challenges faced by its customers. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the extent to which the pandemic may materially impact the Company's financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations is uncertain. The Company intends to continue to actively monitor the pandemic and take the necessary and required steps to identify and mitigate any adverse impacts on, or risks to, the Company’s business operations posed by the spread of COVID-19.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The adjustment did not impact prior period net loss.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 17, 2020. Except as discussed below, these accounting policies have not changed during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Transaction-related (Credits) Expenses
The Company expensed certain costs related to the terminated tender offer for the acquisition of EOS Imaging, which primarily include third-party advisory fees, legal fees and commitment fees related to transaction financing arrangements.
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amount of financial instruments consisting of cash, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued compensation and current portion of long-term debt included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable estimates of fair value due to their short maturities. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, management believes the fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value.
Authoritative guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
|
Level 1: |
Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
|
Level 2: |
Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
|
Level 3: |
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The Company does not maintain any financial assets that are considered to be Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 instruments as of September 30, 2020. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company issued a liability classified equity award to one of its executive officers. The award will be earned over a

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-08, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which clarifies that an entity must measure and classify share-based payment awards granted to a customer by applying the guidance in Topic 718. Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 2019-08 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted the guidance effective
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which aligns the accounting for cloud computing implementation costs with that of costs to develop or obtain internal-use software, meaning such costs that are part of the application development stage are capitalized as an asset and amortized over the term of the arrangement, otherwise, such costs are expensed as incurred. It also clarifies the classification of amounts related to capitalized implementation costs in the financial statements. ASC 2018-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the guidance effective
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The standard has tiered effective dates, starting in 2020 for calendar-year public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted the guidance effective
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the form of Accounting Standards Updates through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective that when adopted would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Operating Lease
The Company leases its buildings and certain equipment under operating leases which expire on various dates through 2021. Upon the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”), as of January 1, 2019 the Company recognized a ROU asset and liability for its building lease, assuming a
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has operating leases for its buildings and certain equipment with lease terms of
The Company’s ROU asset represents the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date of the lease or the ASC 842 adoption date, whichever is later, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When readily determinable, the Company uses the implicit rate in determining the present value of lease payments, or 10.5% as of the adoption date. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date or adoption date, including the lease term. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Litigation
The Company is and may become involved in various legal proceedings arising from its business activities. While management is not aware of any litigation matter that in and of itself would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and depending on the nature and timing of a proceeding, an unfavorable resolution could materially affect the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period. The Company assesses contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual or disclosure in the Company’s financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in the Company’s financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating contingencies, the Company may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against the Company may be unsupported, exaggerated, or unrelated to reasonably possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of the Company’s potential liability.
In February 2018, NuVasive, Inc. filed suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (NuVasive, Inc. v. Alphatec Holdings, Inc. et al., Case No. 3:18-cv-00347-CAB-MDD (S.D. Cal.)), alleging that certain of the Company’s products (including components of its Battalion™ Lateral System), infringe, or contribute to the infringement of, U.S. Patent Nos. 7,819,801, 8,355,780, 8,439,832, 8,753,270, 9,833,227 (entitled “Surgical access system and related methods”), U.S. Patent No. 8,361,156 (entitled “Systems and methods for spinal fusion”), and U.S. Design Patent Nos. D652,519 (“Dilator”) and D750,252 (“Intervertebral Implant”). NuVasive seeks unspecified monetary damages and an injunction against future purported infringement.
In March 2018, the Company moved to dismiss NuVasive’s claims of infringement of its design patents for failure to state a cognizable legal claim. In May 2018, the Court ruled that NuVasive failed to state a plausible claim for infringement of the asserted design patents and dismissed those claims with prejudice. The Company filed its answer, affirmative defenses and counterclaims to NuVasive’s remaining claims in May 2018.
Also in March 2018, NuVasive moved for a preliminary injunction. In March 2018, the Court denied that motion without prejudice for failure to comply with the Court’s chambers rules. In April 2018, NuVasive again moved for a preliminary injunction. In July 2018, the Court denied that motion on the grounds that NuVasive failed to establish either likelihood of success on the merits of its claims or that it would suffer irreparable harm absent the injunction.
In September 2018, NuVasive filed an Amended Complaint, asserting infringement claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,924,859, 9,974,531 and 8,187,334. The Company filed its answer, affirmative defenses and counterclaims to these new claims in October 2018. Also in October 2018, NuVasive moved to dismiss the Company’s counterclaims that NuVasive intentionally had misled the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as a means of obtaining certain patents asserted against the Company. In January 2019, the Court denied NuVasive’s motion as to all but one of the Company’s counterclaims, but granted the Company leave to amend its counterclaim to cure the dismissal. The Company amended that counterclaim in February 2019 and, that same month, NuVasive again moved to dismiss it. In March 2019, the Court denied NuVasive’s motion. NuVasive filed its Answer to the amended counterclaim in April 2019.
17
In December 2018, the Company filed a petition with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) challenging the validity of certain claims of the ’156 and ’334 Patents. In July 2019, PTAB instituted IPR of the validity of asserted claims of the two patents at issue and held a hearing on the matter in April 2020. In July 2020, the PTAB ruled that all challenged claims of the ‘156 Patent were valid (not unpatentable) and ruled that several challenged claims of the ‘334 Patent were invalid, while finding that other challenged claims of the ‘334 Patent were valid. NuVasive and the Company have both appealed the PTAB’s written decision on the matter. The appeals are currently pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. No briefing or hearing schedule has been set.
In January 2020, NuVasive filed a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of infringement and validity of the ’832, ’780 and ’270 Patents and the Company filed a Motion for Summary Judgment of non-infringement of all asserted claims and of invalidity of the ’832 Patent and for dismissal of NuVasive’s claim for lost profits and its allegations of assignor estoppel. In April 2020, the Court granted NuVasive’s Motion as to the alleged infringement of the ’832 Patent only and denied NuVasive’s Motion in all other respects. Also in April 2020, the Court granted the Company’s Motion as to dismissal of the allegations of assignor estoppel and denied the Company’s Motion in all other respects. Trial is scheduled to take place in June 2021.
The Company believes that the allegations lack merit and intends to vigorously defend all claims asserted. A liability is recorded in the financial statements if it is believed to be probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. It is impossible at this time to assess whether the outcome of this proceeding will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. Therefore, in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, the Company has not recorded any accrual for a contingent liability associated with this legal proceeding based on its belief that a liability, while possible, is not probable and any range of potential future charge cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements under which it occasionally indemnifies third parties for intellectual property infringement claims or claims arising from breaches of contract, representations or warranties. In addition, from time to time, the Company provides indemnity protection to third parties for claims relating to past performance arising from undisclosed liabilities, product liabilities, environmental obligations, representations and warranties, and other claims. In these agreements, the scope and amount of remedy, or the period in which claims can be made, may be limited. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of future payments, if any, due under these indemnities due to the conditional nature of the obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each agreement.
In October 2017, NuVasive filed a lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court against Mr. Miles, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, who was a former officer and board member of NuVasive. The Company itself was not initially a named defendant in this lawsuit; however, in June 2018, NuVasive amended its complaint to add the Company as a defendant. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has
Royalties
The Company has entered into various intellectual property agreements requiring the payment of royalties based on the sale of products that utilize such intellectual property. These royalties primarily relate to products sold by Alphatec Spine and are based on fixed fees or calculated either as a percentage of net sales or on a per-unit sold basis. Royalties are included on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of cost of revenue. As of September 30, 2020, the Company is obligated to pay guaranteed minimum royalty payments under these agreements of approximately $
7. Orthotec Settlement
On September 26, 2014, the Company entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2014, by and among the Company and its direct subsidiaries, including Alphatec Spine, Inc., Alphatec Holdings International C.V., Scient'x S.A.S. and Surgiview S.A.S.; HealthpointCapital, LLC, HealthpointCapital Partners, L.P., HealthpointCapital Partners II, L.P., John H. Foster and Mortimer Berkowitz III; and Orthotec, LLC and Patrick Bertranou, (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Orthotec, LLC $

8. Net Loss Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of this calculation, common stock subject to repurchase by the Company, convertible preferred stock, options, convertible notes and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when their effect is dilutive.
The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for continuing and discontinued operations (in thousands, except per share amounts):

10. Income Taxes
To calculate its interim tax provision, at the end of each interim period the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate and applies that to its ordinary quarterly earnings. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences between book and tax amounts, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or the tax environment changes.
22
Intraperiod tax allocation rules require the Company to allocate the provision for income taxes between continuing operations and other categories of earnings, such as discontinued operations. In periods in which the Company has a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in other categories of earnings, such as discontinued operations, the Company must allocate the tax provision to the other categories of earnings, and then record a related tax benefit in continuing operations.
The unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $

These ownership changes may limit the amount of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income, if the Company experiences a cumulative change in ownership of more than

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
You should read the following management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), on March 17, 2020. In addition to historical information the following management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations includes forward-looking information that involves risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and any updates to those risk factors filed from time to time in our subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC.
Overview
We are a medical technology company focused on the design, development, and advancement of technology for better surgical treatment of spinal disorders. We are dedicated to revolutionizing the approach to spine surgery. We have a broad product portfolio designed to address the majority of U.S. market for fusion-based spinal disorder solutions. We intend to drive growth by exploiting our collective spine experience and investing in the research and development to continually differentiate our solutions and improve spine surgery. We believe our future success will be fueled by introducing market-shifting innovation to the spine market, and that we are well-positioned to capitalize on current spine market dynamics.
We market and sell our products in the U.S. through a network of independent distributors and direct sales representatives. An objective of our leadership team is to deliver increasingly consistent, predictable growth. To accomplish this, we have partnered more closely with new and existing distributors to create a more dedicated and loyal sales channel for the future. We have added, and intend to continue to add, new high-quality dedicated distributors to expand future growth. We believe this will allow us to reach an untapped market of surgeons, hospitals, and national accounts across the U.S., as well as better penetrate existing accounts and territories.
We have continued to make progress in the transition of our sales channel since early 2017, driving the percent of sales contributed by our strategic distribution channel from approximately 89% and 87% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 92% and 91% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. We intend to continue to relentlessly drive toward a fully exclusive network of independent and direct sales agents. Consolidation within the industry is helping facilitate the process, as large, seasoned agents continue to seek opportunities to re-enter the spine market by partnering with spine-focused companies that have broad, growing product portfolios.
Recent Developments
Follow-On Registered Public Offering
On October 16, 2020, we closed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of a total of 13,142,855 shares of our common stock. The shares were sold pursuant to a underwriting agreement dated October 13, 2020 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Company and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Cowen and Company, LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein, at a price to the public of $8.75 per share. The closing of the Offering included the issuance and sale of 1,714,285 shares of our common stock, included within the total number of shares above, pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. The net proceeds from the Offering were approximately $107.7 million, including the net proceeds from the overallotment shares and deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Prior to the spread of COVID-19, we experienced year-over-year U.S. sales growth of over 30%, which was consistent with previously issued revenue guidance in January 2020. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread to Western Europe and the U.S., we experienced a significant decline in procedures from the last half of March 2020 through the month of April. During May procedure volumes began to increase and in the month of June sales and procedure volumes returned to near pre-pandemic levels.
The depth and extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact individual markets continues to vary. We expect procedure volumes to remain difficult to estimate as COVID-19 infections continue to spread and may cause additional strain on hospital resources and deferral of elective procedures.
24
Capital markets and worldwide economies have also been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that this could cause a local and/or global economic recession. Such economic recession could have a material adverse effect on our long-term business as hospitals curtail and reduce capital and overall spending. The COVID-19 pandemic and local actions, such as “shelter-in-place” orders and restrictions on our ability to travel and access our customers or temporary closures of the facilities of our suppliers and their contract manufacturers, could further significantly impact our sales and our ability to ship our products and supply our customers. Any of these events could negatively impact the number of procedures performed and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Revenue and Expense Components
The following is a description of the primary components of our revenue and expenses:
Revenue. We derive our revenue primarily from the sale of spinal surgery implants used in the treatment of spine disorders. Spinal implant products include pedicle screws and complementary implants, interbody devices, plates, and tissue-based materials. Our revenue is generated by our direct sales force and independent distributors. Our products are requested directly by surgeons and shipped and billed to hospitals and surgical centers. Currently, most of our business is conducted with customers within markets in which we have experience and with payment terms that are customary to our business. We may defer revenue until the time of collection if circumstances related to payment terms, regional market risk or customer history indicate that collectability is not certain.
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists of direct product costs, royalties, milestones and the amortization of purchased intangibles. Our product costs consist primarily of direct labor, overhead, and raw materials and components. The product costs of certain of our biologics products include the cost of procuring and processing human tissue. We incur royalties related to the technologies that we license from others and the products that are developed in part by surgeons with whom we collaborate in the product development process. Amortization of purchased intangibles consists of amortization of developed product technology.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses consist of costs associated with the design, development, testing, and enhancement of our products. Research and development expenses also include salaries and related employee benefits, research-related overhead expenses, fees paid to external service providers in both cash and equity, and costs associated with our Scientific Advisory Board and Executive Surgeon Panels.
Sales, general and administrative expenses. Sales, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related employee benefits, sales commissions and support costs, depreciation of our surgical instruments, regulatory affairs, quality assurance costs, professional service fees, travel, medical education, trade show and marketing costs, insurance and legal expenses.
Litigation-related expenses. Litigation-related expenses are costs incurred for our ongoing litigation, primarily with NuVasive, Inc.
Transaction-related (credits) expenses. Transaction-related (credits) expenses reflect the recognition of transaction expenses incurred as part of the terminated tender offer related to the EOS transaction.
Restructuring expenses. Restructuring expenses consist of severance, social plan benefits and related taxes in connection with our historical cost rationalization efforts.
Loss on debt extinguishment. Loss on debt extinguishment is comprised of all amounts previously recorded as debt issuance costs related to the MidCap facility that was repaid in full.
Total interest and other expense, net. Total interest and other expense, net includes interest income, interest expense, gains and losses from foreign currency exchanges and other non-operating gains and losses.
Income tax benefit. Income tax benefit from continuing operations primarily consists of release of the valuation allowance from the SafeOp acquisition, partially offset by state taxes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, allowances for accounts receivable, inventories and intangible assets, stock-based compensation and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumption conditions.
Critical accounting policies are those that, in management’s view, are most important in the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. Aside from the changes disclosed in Note 2 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1, Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management believes there have been no material changes during the three months ended September 30, 2020 to the critical accounting policies discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 17, 2020.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Total revenue. Total revenue was $41.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $29.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing an increase of $12.0 million, or 41.1%. Total revenue was $100.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $81.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, representing an increase of $19.8 million, or 24.4%.
Revenue from U.S. products was $40.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $28.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing an increase of $12.0 million, or 42.7%, and was $98.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $77.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, representing an increase of $20.9 million, or 27.1%. The increase in revenue from U.S. products was primarily attributed to the continued expansion of our new product portfolio and progress related to the transformation of our sales network. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, revenue related to new products represented approximately 72.0% and 64.0% of revenue from U.S. products, respectively, and in addition, resulted in a higher number of average product categories sold per case as well as increased product pull-through per case, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Contributions from our strategic distribution channel also continue to increase as we continue to build strategic partnerships with new surgeons and distribution partners, resulting in the growth of our sales network, distribution channel, and geographic footprint. As a result, revenue from strategic distribution for U.S. products for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased by 47% and 32%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as detailed further below (in thousands):

Revenue from the international supply agreement which is attributed to sales to Globus, under which we supply Globus certain of its implants and instruments at agreed-upon prices for a minimum term of three years, was $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing a decrease of $0.1 million. Revenue from the international supply agreement was $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, representing a decrease of $1.0 million. As part of the supply agreement, Globus had the option to extend the term for up to two additional twelve-month periods subject to Globus meeting specified purchase requirements. During the second quarter of 2020, Globus notified us that it would exercise the option to extend the agreement for the second additional twelve-month period through August 2021, at which time we expect that the international supply agreement will expire and revenue from Globus will discontinue.
27
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue was $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing an increase of $2.6 million, or 28.0%, and $29.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $25.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, representing an increase of $4.1 million or 16.0%.
Cost of revenue from U.S. products for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $10.9 million compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing an increase of $2.7 million, or 32.9%. The increase is consistent with our revenue growth. Non-cash excess and obsolescence expense primarily related to the phase out of older legacy products was $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing a decrease of $0.3 million, or 13.0%, and $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, representing a decrease of $1.3 million, or 19.4%.
Cost of revenue from international supply agreement was $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing a decrease of $0.1 million, or 9.1%, and $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, representing a decrease of $0.9 million, or 24.3%. The decreases were attributed to a reduction in sales volumes and related costs under the supply agreement with Globus.
Gross profit. Gross profit was $29.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $19.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing an increase of $9.3 million, or 46.7% and $71.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $55.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, representing an increase of $15.7 million, or 28.3%.
Gross profit margin from U.S. product revenue increased by 2.1% and 1.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The changes in gross margin from U.S. product revenue were primarily attributed to a reduction in non-cash excess and obsolescence expense, partially offset by increases in amortization expense related to our SafeOp neuromonitoring system and product mix.
Gross profit margin from international supply agreement decreased by 1.7% and 2.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The changes in gross margin from international supply agreement were primarily related to the impact of fixed minimum royalty costs, product mix, and to a lesser extent, changes in average selling price for certain products.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased $0.6 million, or 15.8% during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019 and increased $1.4 million, or 13.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily related to personnel and new project costs, partially offset by decreases in other various research and development initiatives. We expect research and development expenses to increase in future periods as we continue to hire additional engineering and development talent and invest in our product pipeline.
Sales, general and administrative expenses. Sales, general and administrative expenses increased $9.0 million, or 33.3% during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019 and increased $18.3 million, or 25.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily related to commissions, sales compensation, stock-based compensation, and variable selling expenses associated with the increase in U.S. product revenue, and in addition to our continued investment in building our strategic distribution channel. Additionally, we have also increased our investment in our sales and marketing functions by increasing headcount to support the growth of our business. We expect our sales, general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars and for variable selling expenses to increase in relation to expected increases in our U.S. product revenue. As we experience future revenue growth, we expect to achieve increased operating leverage on the fixed costs associated with our sales, general and administrative expenses.
Litigation expenses. Litigation expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 166.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019 and increased by $1.1 million, or 25.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The expense is primarily related to our ongoing litigation with NuVasive, Inc. and fluctuations related to the timing of related legal activities.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets remained consistent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The expense represents amortization in the period associated with general business assets, intellectual property, licenses and other assets obtained in acquisitions and licensing agreements.
28
Transaction-related (credits) expenses. Transaction-related (credits) expenses of $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are attributed to advisory fees, legal fees, transaction financing commitment fees and other transaction-related costs incurred in connection with the terminated EOS tender offer.
Total interest and other expense, net. Total interest and other expense, net decreased $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to lower interest expense on maturing debt arrangements and decreases in amortization of debt issuance costs. Total interest and other expense, net increased $3.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to interest expense on new debt arrangements, additional draws on existing agreements and a loss on debt extinguishment related to the payoff of the MidCap facility in the second quarter of 2020.
Income tax provision. Income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, was negligible and remained consistent as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had an effective income tax rate of 0%, primarily due to our net loss position.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business At each reporting period, we evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within twelve months after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Our evaluation entails analyzing prospective operating budgets and forecasts for expectations of our cash needs and comparing those needs to the current cash and cash equivalent balances, and availability under existing credit facilities.
Our capital requirements over the next twelve months will depend on many factors, including the ability to achieve anticipated revenue, manage operating expense and the timing of required investments in inventory and instrument sets to support our customers.
On October 16, 2020, we closed the Offering in which we issued and sold a total 13,142,855 shares of our common stock, including overallotment shares, at a price to the public of $8.75 per share. The net proceeds to us from the Offering were approximately $107.7 million. Our working capital at September 30, 2020 was $38.5 million (including cash of $15.7 million) which, along with proceeds from the Offering, we expect to be able to fund our operations through at least one year subsequent to the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Squadron Credit Agreement, Paycheck Protection Loan and Other Debt and Commitments
On November 6, 2018, we closed a $35.0 million Term Loan with Squadron, a provider of debt financing to growing companies in the orthopedic industry. The debt bears interest at LIBOR plus 8% (10.0% as of September 30, 2020) per annum. The credit agreement specifies a minimum interest rate of 10.0% and a maximum of 13.0% per year. In March 2019, we expanded the credit facility with Squadron for up to an additional $30.0 million in secured financing. We took a draw of $10.0 million of the expanded credit facility in June 2019 and, subsequently, took a draw of the remaining $20.0 million in April 2020. On May 29, 2020, we entered into a second amendment to the Term Loan to expand the credit facility by an additional $35.0 million and remove all financial covenant requirements. It is at our sole discretion to make draws on the additional $35.0 million Term Loan. In June 2020, we took a draw of $10.0 million used to retire the existing working capital revolver with MidCap. All future draws must be made by December 31, 2021. The total principal outstanding under the Term Loan as of September 30, 2020 is $75.0 million with an additional $25.0 million in available borrowings. Under the terms of the amended facility, the maturity date on the entire term loan was extended to June 2025 with interest-only payments due monthly through November 2022, followed by monthly principal payments of $1.0 million beginning December 2022 and a lump-sum payment payable at maturity in June 2025. As collateral for the Term Loan, Squadron has a first lien security interest in substantially all assets except for accounts receivable.
On April 23, 2020, we received the proceeds from a loan in the amount of approximately $4.3 million (the “PPP Loan”) from Silicon Valley Bank, as lender, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan matures on April 21, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Commencing August 21, 2021, we are required to pay the lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest as required to fully amortize by April 21, 2022 the principal amount outstanding on the PPP Loan as of the date prescribed by guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note dated April 21, 2020, which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations and warranties. We may prepay the PPP Loan at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.
All or a portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven by the SBA upon application. We submitted our application for forgiveness of the loan in November 2020. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered
29
rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the twenty-four-week period, beginning on the date of loan approval. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee in excess of $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 25% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. Forgiveness is reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually are reduced by more than 25%. In the event the PPP Loan, or any portion thereof, is forgiven pursuant to the PPP, the amount forgiven is applied to outstanding principal. We used all of the proceeds from the PPP Loan to retain employees and maintain payroll. Although we have applied for loan forgiveness as afforded by the PPP, we cannot provide assurance that such loan forgiveness will be granted in whole or in part.
We entered into an Inventory Financing Agreement whereby we may draw up to $3.0 million for the purchase of inventory to accrue interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 8% and also includes a 10% floor and 13% ceiling. All principal will become due and payable upon maturity on November 6, 2023 and all interest will be paid monthly. Should we elect to prepay the Squadron credit agreement, all amounts due under the Inventory Financing Agreement will become mandatorily due. Our obligation outstanding under the Inventory Financing Agreement as of September 30, 2020 was $3.0 million.
As of September 30, 2020, we have made $43.9 million in Orthotec settlement payments and there remains an aggregate amount of $13.9 million in Orthotec settlement payments (including accrued and future interest) to be paid by us.
We entered into a distribution agreement with a third-party provider in January 2020 in which we are obligated to certain minimum purchase requirements related to inventory and equipment leases. As of September 30, 2020, the minimum purchase commitment required by us under the agreement was $3.5 million to be paid over a three-year period.
Our various debt agreements include several event of default provisions, such as payment default, insolvency conditions and a material adverse effect clause, which could cause interest to be charged at a rate which is up to five percentage points above the rate effective immediately before the event of default or result in our lenders’ rights to declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable We were in compliance with the covenants under the credit agreements at September 30, 2020.
Operating Activities
We used net cash of $39.7 million from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During this period, net cash used in operating activities consisted of our net loss adjusted for $31.8 million of non-cash adjustments including amortization, depreciation, stock-based compensation, provision for excess and obsolete inventory, interest expense related to amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, debt extinguishment charges, loss on disposal of instruments, and $19.3 million use of cash related to working capital and other assets.
Investing Activities
We used cash of $12.8 million in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily for the purchase of surgical instruments to support the commercial launch of new products.
Financing Activities
Financing activities provided $21.0 million of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily related to $77.7 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options or warrants, and borrowings under new and existing lines of credit, partially offset by payments of $56.7 million related to repayments of lines of credit.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Represents gross payments due to Orthotec, LLC pursuant to a Settlement and Release Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2014, by and among the Company and its direct subsidiaries, including Alphatec Spine, Inc., Alphatec Holdings International C.V., Scient'x S.A.S. and Surgiview S.A.S.; HealthpointCapital, LLC, HealthpointCapital Partners, L.P., HealthpointCapital Partners II, L.P., John H. Foster and Mortimer Berkowitz III; and Orthotec, LLC and Patrick Bertranou. In September 2014, the Company and HealthpointCapital entered into an agreement for joint payment of settlement whereby HealthpointCapital is obligated to pay $5.0 million of the settlement amount, with payments beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020 and continuing through 2021. See Note 11 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1, Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information. |
|

These commitments represent payments in cash and are subject to attaining certain sales milestones which we believe are reasonably likely to be achieved beginning in 2020. |
Real Property Leases
In January 2016, we entered into a lease agreement, or the Building Lease, for office, engineering, and research and development space in Carlsbad, California with the lease term through July 31, 2021. Under the Building Lease our monthly rent payable is approximately $105,000 per month during the first year and increases by approximately $3,000 each year thereafter.
On December 4, 2019, we entered into a new lease agreement, or new Building Lease, for a new headquarters location which will consist of 121,541 square feet of office, engineering, and research and development space in Carlsbad, California. The term of the new Building Lease is currently anticipated to commence November 15, 2020 and terminate November 30, 2030, subject to two sixty month options to renew. Base rent under the Building Lease for the first twelve months of the term will be $195,000 per month subject to full abatement during months two through ten. Base rent for the second year of the term will be $244,115 per month and thereafter will increase annually by 3%. At the beginning of each exercised option period, base rent will be adjusted to the market rental value, and thereafter will increase annually by 3% through the end of such option period.

Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions and/or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors mentioned in our discussion in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be important in determining future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially from expected results.
32
We also provide a cautionary discussion of risks and uncertainties under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and any updates to those risk factors filed from time to time in our subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC. These are factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results. Other factors besides those listed there could also adversely affect us.
Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “seek,” “intend,” “continue,” “project,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond our control, including the factors set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and any updates to those risk factors filed from time to time in our subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the forward-looking statements contained herein represent our estimate only as of the date of this filing and should not be relied upon as representing our estimate as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting such forward-looking statements.
Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Interest Rate Risk
Other outstanding debt consists of various variable rate instruments, including debt outstanding under the Term Loan with Squadron.
Our borrowings under our credit facilities expose us to market risk related to changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2020, our outstanding floating rate indebtedness totaled $79.3 million. The primary base interest rate is the LIBOR rate. Assuming the outstanding balance on our floating rate indebtedness remains constant over a year, a 100-basis point increase in the interest rate would decrease pre-tax income and cash flow by approximately $0.8 million.
Commodity Price Risk
We purchase raw materials that are processed from commodities, such as titanium and stainless steel. These purchases expose us to fluctuations in commodity prices. Given the historical volatility of certain commodity prices, this exposure can impact our product costs. However, because our raw material prices comprise a small portion of our cost of revenue, we have not experienced any material impact on our results of operations from changes in commodity prices. A 10% change in commodity prices would not have had a material impact on our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s, or SEC's, rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable level of assurance.
Previously Reported Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As reported in in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, we identified deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting related to our revenue and inventory cycles whereby the review of sales orders and inventory transfers were not properly applied to a portion of orders during the year. We reported these deficiencies to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and a material weakness related to these deficiencies existed at December 31, 2019.
33
Remediation of the Material Weakness during the first quarter 2020
The material weakness related to the lack of sufficient review over sales order and inventory transfers resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our revenue and inventory in the annual or interim financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. To remediate the deficiencies described above and prevent similar deficiencies in the future, we developed and implemented a remediation plan during the first quarter of 2020 which included:
|
• |
Improving controls to ensure proper documentation over revenue orders and inventory transfers |
|
• |
Assurance that control owners have appropriate training and understanding surrounding affected controls |
Although we have implemented these remediation efforts, the deficiencies will not be considered fully remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Any actions we have taken or may take to remediate these deficiencies are subject to continued management review supported by testing, as well as oversight by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
We cannot provide complete assurance that other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies will not occur in the future or that we will be able to remediate such weaknesses or deficiencies in a timely manner. The occurrence of such material weaknesses or our inability to remediate these deficiencies could impair our ability to accurately and timely report our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as described above, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Despite most of our employees working remotely due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, we have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation to assess and minimize any impact on the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings |
Litigation
We are and may become involved in various legal proceedings arising from our business activities. While the Company has no material accruals for pending litigation or claims for which accrual amounts are not disclosed in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and depending on the nature and timing of a proceeding, an unfavorable resolution could materially affect our future consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period. We assess contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual or disclosure in our condensed consolidated financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in our condensed consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating contingencies, we may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against us may be unsupported, exaggerated or unrelated to reasonably possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of our potential liability.
Refer to Note 6 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1, Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding the NuVasive, Inc. litigation.
Item 1A. |
Risk Factors |
There have been no material changes to the risk factors described under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2020 except for those noted below:
COVID-19
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 has spread to multiple countries, including the United States, and several European countries. To date, COVID-19 has had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on our operations, supply chains, distribution channels and expenses as a result of the preventive and precautionary measures that we, our customers, other businesses, and governments are taking, including the deferral of elective medical procedures and diversion of capital and other resources. Due to these impacts and measures, we have experienced and may continue to experience significant and unpredictable reductions in the demand for our products as healthcare customers divert medical resources and priorities towards the treatment of the disease. For example, as COVID-19 reached a global pandemic level in the month of March 2020, we experienced significant decline in procedure volume in the U.S., as healthcare systems diverted resources to meet the increasing demands of managing COVID-19. In addition, the American College of Surgeons, U.S. surgeon general, and other public health bodies have recommended delaying elective surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic, and surgeons and medical societies are evaluating the risks of minimally invasive surgeries in the presence of infectious diseases, which we expect will continue to negatively impact the usage of our products and procedures performed.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we have experienced significant business disruptions, including restrictions on our ability to sell, distribute and service our products, temporary closures of our facilities and the facilities of our suppliers and their contract manufacturers, as well as reduction in access to our customers due to diverted resources and priorities and the business hours of hospitals as governments institute prolonged shelter-in-place and/or self-quarantine mandates. For example, our corporate headquarters located in California has instituted shelter-in-place orders applicable to our employees in that region. These unprecedented measures to slow the spread of the virus taken by local governments and health care authorities globally, including the deferral of elective medical procedures and social distancing measures, have had, and will continue to have, a significant negative impact on our operations and financial results.
As a result of the shelter-in-place orders implemented by state and local governments, we have instituted a remote work environment which has impacted our employees working at our California headquarters. The remote work environment makes us more susceptible to fraud, system interruptions and similar errors that from time to time result in lost funds or delayed transactions. To date, our email and computer systems have been subject to and are likely to continue to be the target of, fraudulent attacks, including attempts to cause us to improperly transfer funds or defraud our vendors into improperly transferring funds meant for us. These attacks have increased in frequency and sophistication. When a fraud is successfully perpetrated, funds transferred to a fraudulent recipient are often times not recoverable, and, in certain instances, we may be liable for those unrecovered funds. While we have greatly enhanced our automated and manual controls to mitigate this risk, there can be no assurance that such controls will prevent or detect such attempts, which may result in financial losses or other adverse consequences which could be material to us.
35
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the economies and financial markets of many countries, which may result in a period of regional, national, and global economic slowdown or regional, national, or global recessions that could curtail or delay spending by hospitals and affect demand for our products as well as increased risk of customer defaults or delays in payments. COVID-19 and the current financial, economic, and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, volume of business, results of operations, and cash flows. Due to the uncertain scope and duration of the pandemic and uncertain timing of global recovery and economic normalization, we are unable to estimate the impacts on our operations and financial results. As a result, we have withdrawn our full year 2020 financial and procedure guidance.
Our loans under the Paycheck Protection Program may not be forgiven or may subject us to challenges and investigations regarding our qualification for the loan.
On April 23, 2020, we received a PPP Loan under the PPP, which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, known as the CARES Act, in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $4.3 million. Pursuant to section 1106 of the CARES Act, we may apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for qualifying expenses, which include payroll costs, rent, and utility costs over the allowable measurements period following the receipt of the loan proceeds.
The SBA continues to develop and issue new and updated guidance regarding the PPP Loan application process, including guidance regarding required borrower certifications and requirements for forgiveness of loans made under the program. We continue to track the guidance as it is released and assess and re-assess various aspects of its application as necessary. However, given the evolving nature of the guidance and our anticipated ability to use the loan proceeds for qualifying expenses, we cannot give any assurance that our PPP Loan will be forgiven in whole or in part.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
None.
Item 5. |
Other Information |
On November 4, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (the “Amended Warrant”) with Patrick S. Miles. The Amended Warrant amends the Warrant to Purchase Common Stock that was issued to Mr. Miles on December 28, 2017 in connection with his acquisition of shares of our common stock to permit net exercise of the Warrant via cashless exercise provisions.
The foregoing description of the Amended Warrant contained in this Part II, Item 5 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full and complete terms of the Amended Warrant, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
