Description of Business
Hanger, Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is a leading national provider of products and services that assist in enhancing or restoring the physical capabilities of patients with disabilities or injuries. We provide orthotic and prosthetic (“O&P”) services, distribute O&P devices and components, manage O&P networks, and provide therapeutic solutions to patients and businesses in acute, post-acute, and clinic settings. We operate through two segments, Patient Care and Products & Services.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and, therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”), as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
In our opinion, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year.
A detailed description of our significant accounting policies and management judgments is contained in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Reclassifications
We have reclassified certain amounts in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements to be consistent with the current year presentation. These relate to immaterial classifications within expense line items in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Developments Regarding COVID-19
We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic (“COVID-19 pandemic”). The extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial condition remain uncertain and difficult to predict. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that our patients are continuing to defer visits to our O&P clinics, as well as elective surgical procedures, both of which impact our business volumes through decreased patient encounters and physician referrals. Nevertheless, the overall adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business volumes has diminished and stabilized over time, and our patient appointment and other business volumes continue to gradually improve as the prevalence of the virus decreases and COVID-19 vaccines become more widely available and accepted. It remains possible that further outbreaks of COVID-19, including the spread of variants such as the Delta and Omicron variants, or reinstitution of restrictive measures by federal, state, and local governments could cause a recessionary environment impacting the healthcare industry generally, including the O&P industry. The United States government has responded with fiscal policy measures intended to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole, including the passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) in March 2020.
CARES Act
The CARES Act established the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, also referred to as the Cares Act Provider Relief Fund, which set aside $203.5 billion to be administered through grants and other mechanisms to hospitals, public entities, not-for-profit entities and Medicare- and Medicaid- enrolled suppliers and institutional providers. The purpose of these funds is to reimburse providers for lost revenue and health-care related expenses that are attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) began making payments to healthcare providers from the $203.5 billion appropriation. These are grants, rather than loans, to healthcare providers, and will not need to be repaid.
During the full year of 2021, we recognized a total benefit of $1.1 million in our consolidated statement of operations within Other operating costs in our Patient Care segment for the grant proceeds we received under the CARES Act (“Grants”) from HHS. We accounted for the proceeds from the Grants by analogy to International Accounting Standard (“IAS 20”), Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance and its principles surrounding the recognition of grants related to income. We recognize income related to grants on a systematic and rational basis when it becomes probable that we have complied with the terms and conditions of the grant and in the period in which the corresponding costs or income related to the grant are recognized. We are using the Grants for their intended purpose, and are compliant to the reporting requirements set by the terms and conditions of the grant.
The CARES Act also provided for a deferral of the employer portion of payroll taxes incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic through December 2020. The provisions allowed us to defer half of such payroll taxes until December 2021 and the remaining half until December 2022. We paid the first half in September 2021, and deferred $5.9 million of payroll taxes within Accrued compensation related costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU, effective beginning on March 12, 2020, provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. We are currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance, and related clarifying standards, will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.
