NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE A — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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, 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, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”), as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 2018 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

Leases

We lease a majority of our patient care clinics and warehouses under lease arrangements, certain of which contain renewal options, rent escalation clauses, and/or landlord incentives. Rent expense for noncancellable leases with scheduled rent increases and/or landlord incentives is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including any applicable rent holidays, beginning on the lease commencement date. We exclude leases with a term of one year or less from our balance sheet, and do not separate non-lease components from our real estate leases. Our leases may include variable payments for maintenance, which are expensed as incurred.

In addition, we are the lessor of therapeutic program equipment to patients and businesses in acute, post-acute, and clinic settings. The therapeutic program equipment and related services revenue are recognized over the applicable term the customer has the right to use the equipment and as the services are provided. These operating lease agreements are typically for twelve months and have a 30-day cancellation policy. We do not separate non-lease components, consisting primarily of training, for these leases.

Effect of Adoption of ASC 842

We adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), and related clarifying standards, as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. This approach allows us to apply the standard as of the adoption date and record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of Accumulated deficit at January 1, 2019. The new lease standard requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases, defined as leases with a term of 12 months or less) at the lease commencement date and recognize expenses on the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis.

Table of Contents

Upon adoption of ASC 842, the cumulative effect of the changes made to our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 was as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and related clarifying standards, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This new standard is effective for us beginning December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which modifies the disclosures on fair value measurements by removing the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of such transfers. The ASU expands the disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements, primarily focused on changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

Table of Contents

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715). This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit and other postretirement plans. This ASU eliminates certain disclosures associated with accumulated other comprehensive income, plan assets, related parties, and the effects of interest rate basis point changes on assumed health care costs; while other disclosures have been added to address significant gains and losses related to changes in benefit obligations. This ASU also clarifies disclosure requirements for projected benefit and accumulated benefit obligations. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and for interim periods therein with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Topic 220). The ASU is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

NOTE B — EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus any potentially dilutive common shares, such as stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based units calculated using the treasury stock method. Total anti-dilutive shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share were zero as of March 31, 2019 and 208,510 as of March 31, 2018.

Our credit agreement restricts the payment of dividends or other distributions to our shareholders with respect to Hanger, Inc., or any of its subsidiaries.

The reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands except per share data)	2019			2018
Net loss	$	(6,951	)	$	(22,618	)

Weighted average shares outstanding - basic	37,001,977			36,498,482
Effect of potentially dilutive restricted stock units and options (1)	—			—
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted	37,001,977			36,498,482

Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.19	)	$	(0.62	)

(1) In accordance with ASC 260 - Earnings Per Share, during periods of a net loss, shares used to compute diluted per share amounts exclude potentially dilutive shares related to unvested restricted stock units and unexercised options. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, shares excluded were 889,093. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, shares excluded were 537,497.

NOTE C — REVENUE RECOGNITION

Patient Care Segment

Revenue in our Patient Care segment is primarily derived from contracts with third party payors for the provision of O&P devices and is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products or services to the patient at the time the patient receives the device. At, or subsequent to delivery, we issue an invoice to the third party payor, which primarily consists of commercial insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and private or patient pay (“Private Pay”) individuals. We recognize revenue for the amounts we expect to receive from payors based on expected contractual reimbursement rates, which are net of estimated contractual discounts and implicit price concessions. These revenue amounts are further revised as claims are adjudicated, which may result in additional disallowances.

The following table disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers in our Patient Care segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2019		2018
Patient Care Segment
Medicare	$	57,776	$	57,531
Medicaid	30,147		29,711
Commercial Insurance/ Managed Care (excluding Medicare and Medicaid Managed Care)	70,218		70,582
Veterans Administration	18,322		16,731
Private Pay	14,138		13,952
Total	$	190,601	$	188,507

The impact to revenue related to prior period performance obligations was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Products & Services Segment

Revenue in our Products & Services segment is derived from the distribution of O&P components and the leasing and sale of rehabilitation equipment and ancillary consumable supplies combined with equipment maintenance, education, and training.

The following table disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers in our Product & Services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2019		2018
Products & Services Segment

NOTE D — ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

Accounts receivable, net represents outstanding amounts we expect to collect from the transfer of our products and services.

NOTE H — GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

We assess goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually on October 1st, and between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

NOTE K — INCOME TAXES

We recorded a benefit from income tax of $3.7 million and $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate was 35.0% and 21.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2018 is primarily attributable to the change from the discrete method in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to the annual effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increased estimated annual income, and the windfall from stock-based compensation recorded as a discrete item during the period. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses and the windfall from stock-based compensation recorded as a discrete item during the period. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses and the shortfall from stock-based compensation recorded as a discrete item during the period.

Refinancing of Credit Agreement and Term B Borrowings

On March 6, 2018, we entered into a $605.0 million Senior Credit Facility (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $100.0 million that matures in March 2023 and (ii) a $505.0 million Term Loan B facility due in quarterly principal installments commencing June 29, 2018, with all remaining outstanding principal due at maturity in March 2025. Availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit, which were approximately $5.2 million as of March 31, 2019. We may (a) increase the aggregate principal amount of any outstanding tranche of term loans or add one or more additional tranches of term loans under the loan documents, and/or (b) increase the aggregate principal amount of revolving commitments or add one or more additional revolving loan facilities under the loan documents by an aggregate amount of up to the sum of (1) $125.0 million and (2) an amount such that, after giving effect to such incurrence of such amount (but excluding the cash proceeds of such incremental facilities and certain other indebtedness, and treating all commitments in respect of revolving indebtedness as fully drawn), the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio is equal to or less than 3.80 to 1.00, if certain conditions are satisfied, including the absence of a default or an event of default under the Credit Agreement at the time of the increase and that we obtain the consent of each lender providing any incremental facility.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are currently guaranteed by our material domestic subsidiaries and will from time to time be guaranteed by, subject in each case to certain exceptions, any domestic subsidiaries that may become material in the future. Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement is secured by first-priority perfected liens and security interests in substantially all of our personal property and each subsidiary guarantor.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) LIBOR plus a specified margin, or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) Bank of America, N.A.’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% plus one-month LIBOR) plus a specified margin. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our Term Loan B facility was approximately 6.0%. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge certain of our interest rate exposures, as more fully disclosed in Note O - “Derivative Financial Instruments.”

Table of Contents

We must also pay (i) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.500% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) a per annum fee equal to (a) for each performance standby letter of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement with respect to nonfinancial contractual obligations, 50% of the applicable margin over LIBOR under the revolving credit facility in effect from time to time multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under such letter of credit, and (b) for each other letter of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin over LIBOR under the revolving credit facility in effect from time to time multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn for such letter of credit.

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants, including: i) requirements that we maintain certain financial ratios at prescribed levels, ii) a prohibition on payment of dividends and other distributions and iii) restrictions on our ability and certain of our subsidiaries to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, or consummate acquisitions outside the healthcare industry. The Credit Agreement includes the following financial covenants applicable for so long as any revolving loans and/or revolving commitments remain outstanding under the Credit Agreement: (i) a maximum consolidated first lien net leverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments and exclusions, the ratio of consolidated first-lien indebtedness to consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and certain other items (“EBITDA”) for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available) of 5.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019; 4.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2019 through March 31, 2020; 4.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2020 through March 31, 2021; 4.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2021 through March 31, 2022; and 3.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter; and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our EBITDA to consolidated interest expense to the extent paid or payable in cash) of 2.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. We were in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2019.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then the lenders may declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that the occurrence of an event of default as a result of a breach of a financial covenant under the Credit Agreement does not constitute a default or event of default with respect to any term facility under the Credit Agreement unless and until the required revolving lenders shall have terminated their revolving commitments and declared all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility to be due and payable. In addition, if we or any subsidiary guarantor becomes the subject of voluntary or involuntary proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, then any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement will automatically become immediately due and payable. Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate of 2.00% per annum in excess of the otherwise applicable rate (i) upon acceleration of such loans, (ii) while a payment event of default exists or (iii) upon the lenders’ request, during the continuance of any other event of default.

Seller Notes

We typically issue subordinated promissory notes (“Seller Notes”) as a part of the consideration transferred when making acquisitions. The Seller Notes are unsecured and are presented net of unamortized discount of $0.3 million and $0.2 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. We measure these instruments at their estimated fair values as of the respective acquisition dates. The stated interest rates on these instruments range from 2.00% to 3.00%. Principal and interest are payable in monthly, quarterly, or annual installments and mature through November 2023.

NOTE N — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial Instruments

In March 2018, we refinanced our credit facilities with the Credit Agreement. The carrying value (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $9.3 million) of our outstanding term loan as of March 31, 2019 was $500.0 million compared to its fair value of $498.7 million. The carrying value of our outstanding term loan as of December 31, 2018 (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $9.4 million) was $501.2 million compared to its fair value of $491.2 million. Our estimates of fair value are based on a discounted cash flow model and indicative quote using unobservable inputs, primarily, our risk-adjusted credit spread, which represents a Level 3 measurement.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no amounts outstanding on our revolving credit facility.

In March 2018, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with notional values of $325.0 million at inception, which reduces $12.5 million annually until the swaps mature on March 6, 2024. The notional value outstanding as of March 31, 2019 was $312.5 million. The interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges and are measured at fair value based on inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable, which represents a Level 2 measurement. See Note M - “Debt” and Note O - “Derivative Financial Instruments” for further information.

The carrying value of our Seller Notes as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $7.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively. We believe that the carrying value of the Seller Notes approximates their fair values based on a discounted cash flow model using unobservable inputs, primarily, our credit spread for subordinated debt, which represents a Level 3 measurement.

NOTE O — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash payments principally related to our borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk

Table of Contents

management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counter-party in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The change in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

As of March 31, 2019, our swaps had a notional value outstanding of $312.5 million. As of December 31, 2018, our swaps had a notional value outstanding of $325.0 million.

NOTE P — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Hanger, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), as amended by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) in May 2018 authorizes the issuance of up to 2,625,000 shares of Common Stock, plus (i) the number of shares available for issuance under our prior equity incentive plan, the Hanger, Inc. 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), that had not been made subject to outstanding awards as of the effective date of the 2016 Plan and (ii) any shares that would have become available again for new grants under the terms of the 2010 Plan if such plan were still in effect.

We recognized a total of approximately $3.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Stock compensation expense, net of forfeitures, relates to restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and stock options.

NOTE Q — SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLANS

Defined Benefit Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

Effective January 2004, we implemented an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit plan (“DB SERP”) for certain senior executives. The DB SERP, which we administer, calls for fifteen annual payments upon retirement with the payment amount based on years of service and final average salary. Benefit costs and liability balances are calculated based on certain assumptions including benefits earned, discount rates, interest costs, mortality rates, and other factors. Actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods, affecting the recorded obligation and expense in future periods.

We believe the assumptions used are appropriate; however, changes in assumptions or differences in actual experience may affect our benefit obligation and future expenses. The DB SERP’s change in net benefit cost and obligation during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

Change in Benefit Obligation:

(in thousands)	2019			2018
Benefit obligation as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively	$	18,927		$	20,793
Service cost	84			92
Interest cost	165			150
Payments	(1,877		)	(1,877		)
Benefit Obligation as of March 31	$	17,299		$	19,158

Amounts Recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Total accrued liabilities	$	17,299	$	18,927

Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

In 2013, we established a defined contribution plan (“DC SERP”) that covers certain of our senior executives. Each participant is given a notional account to manage his or her annual distributions and allocate the funds among various investment options (e.g. mutual funds). These accounts are tracking accounts only for the purpose of calculating the participant’s benefit. The participant does not have ownership of the underlying mutual funds. When a participant initiates or changes the allocation of his or her notional account, we will generally make an allocation of our investments to match those chosen by the participant. While the allocation of our sub accounts is generally intended to mirror the participant’s account records (i.e. the distributions and gains or losses on those funds), the employee does not have legal ownership of any funds until payout upon retirement. The underlying investments are owned by the insurance company with which we own an insurance policy.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the estimated accumulated obligation benefit is $3.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of which $3.0 million and $2.4 million is funded and $0.1 million and $0.6 million is unfunded at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

In connection with the DC SERP benefit obligation, we maintain a company owned life insurance policy (“COLI”). The carrying value of the COLI is measured at its cash surrender value and is presented within “Other assets” in our consolidated balance sheets. See Note I - “Other Current Assets and Other Assets” for additional information.

Guarantees and Indemnification

In the ordinary course of our business, we may enter into service agreements with service providers in which we agree to indemnify or limit the service provider against certain losses and liabilities arising from the service provider’s performance of the agreement. We have reviewed our existing contracts containing indemnification or clauses of guarantees and do not believe that our liability under such agreements is material.

Legal Proceedings

Securities and Derivative Litigation

In November 2014, a securities class action complaint, City of Pontiac General Employees’ Retirement System v. Hanger, et al., C.A. No. 1:14-cv-01026-SS, was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The complaint named us and certain of our current and former officers for allegedly making materially false and misleading statements regarding, inter alia, our financial statements, RAC audit success rate, the implementation of new financial systems, same-store sales growth, and the adequacy of our internal processes and controls. The complaint alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint sought unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief.

On April 1, 2016, the court granted our motion to dismiss the lawsuit for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, and permitted plaintiffs to file an amended complaint. On July 1, 2016, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On September 15, 2016, we and certain of the individual defendants filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit. On January 26, 2017, the court granted the defendants’ motions and dismissed with prejudice all claims against all defendants for failure to state a claim. On February 24, 2017, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On August 6, 2018, the Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part. The Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the case against individual defendants Vinit Asar, our current President and Chief Executive Officer, and Thomas Kirk, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, but reversed the dismissal of the case against George McHenry, our former Chief Financial Officer, and Hanger, Inc. On August 20, 2018, Hanger, Inc. and George McHenry filed a petition for panel rehearing and a petition for rehearing en banc with the Court of Appeals. On April 10, 2019 the Court of Appeals granted the petition for panel rehearing, withdrew its previous panel decision, and substituted a new panel decision in its place that affirmed the District Court’s dismissal with prejudice of all claims against all the defendants for failure to state a claim. Plaintiffs did not petition the Court of Appeals for a panel rehearing or a rehearing en banc. Should plaintiffs decide to continue the litigation, their sole remaining option is to petition the United States Supreme Court to review the new Fifth Circuit panel decision issued on April 10, 2019. The deadline for such petition is July 9, 2019.

In February and August of 2015, two separate shareholder derivative suits were filed in Texas state court against us related to the announced restatement of certain of our financial statements. The cases were subsequently consolidated into Judy v. Asar, et. al., Cause No. D-1-GN-15-000625. On October 25, 2016, plaintiffs in that action filed an amended complaint, and the case is currently pending before the 459th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas.

The amended complaint in the consolidated derivative action names us and certain of our current and former officers and directors as defendants. It alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty based, inter alia, on the defendants’ alleged failure to exercise good faith to ensure that we had in place adequate accounting and financial controls and that disclosures regarding our business, financial performance and internal controls were truthful and accurate. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief.

As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 6, 2016, the Board of Directors appointed a Special Litigation Committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”). The Board delegated to the Special Committee the authority to (1) determine whether it is in our best interests to pursue any of the allegations made

Table of Contents

in the derivative cases filed in Texas state court (which cases were consolidated into the Judy case discussed above), (2) determine whether it is in our best interests to pursue any remedies against any of our current or former employees, officers or directors as a result of the conduct discovered in the Audit Committee investigation concluded on June 6, 2016 (the “Investigation”), and (3) otherwise resolve claims or matters relating to the findings of the Investigation. The Special Committee retained independent legal counsel to assist and advise it in carrying out its duties and reviewed and considered the evidence and various factors relating to our best interests. In accordance with its findings and conclusions, the Special Committee determined that it is not in our best interest to pursue any of the claims in the Judy derivative case. Also in accordance with its findings and conclusions, the Special Committee determined that it is not in our best interests to pursue legal remedies against any of our current or former employees, officers, or directors.

On April 14, 2017, we filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated derivative action based on the resolution by the Special Committee that it is not in our best interest to pursue the derivative claims. Counsel for the derivative plaintiffs opposed that motion and moved to compel discovery. In a hearing held on June 12, 2017, the Travis County court denied plaintiffs’ motion to compel, and held that the motion to dismiss would be considered only after appropriate discovery was concluded.

The plaintiffs subsequently subpoenaed counsel for the Special Committee, seeking a copy of the full report prepared by the Special Committee and its independent counsel. Counsel for the Special Committee, as well as our counsel, took the position that the full report is not discoverable under Texas law. Plaintiffs’ counsel filed a motion to compel the Special Committee’s counsel to produce the full report. We opposed the motion. On July 20, 2018, the Travis County court ruled that only a redacted version of the report is discoverable, and counsel for the Special Committee provided a redacted version of the report to plaintiffs’ counsel. Plaintiffs objected to the redacted version of the report, and on February 4, 2019, the Travis County court appointed a Special Master to review plaintiffs’ objections to the redacted report. On March 22, 2019, the Special Master submitted a report to the Travis County Court recommending that the Court order that the entire Special Committee report be produced. On April 2, 2019 we filed an objection to the Special Master’s report and recommendation, and requested a hearing on the matter. The Travis County Court scheduled a hearing for May 15, 2019 regarding our objection. Upon completion of discovery, we intend to file a motion to dismiss the consolidated derivative action.

Management intends to continue to vigorously defend against the shareholder derivative action. At this time, if the derivative action were to go to trial, we cannot predict how the Travis County Court would rule on the merits of the claims and/or the scope of the potential loss in the event of an adverse outcome. Should we ultimately be found liable, the resulting damages could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or our results of operations.

Other Matters

From time to time we are subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business, and are also subject to additional payments under business purchase agreements. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of our operations.

We operate in a highly regulated industry and receive regulatory agency inquiries from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including inquiries relating to our billing activities. No assurance can be given that any discrepancies identified during a regulatory review will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE S — SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION

We have identified two operating segments and both performance evaluation and resource allocation decisions are determined based on each operating segment’s income from operations. The operating segments are described further below:

Patient Care - This segment consists of our owned and operated patient care clinics. The patient care clinics provide services to design and fit O&P devices to patients. These clinics also instruct patients in the use, care and maintenance of the devices. The principal reimbursement sources for our services are:

Effect of Delay in Financial Filings

As discussed in our 2018 Form 10-K, due to prior restatements and related issues, we were delayed in the preparation and filing of our financial statements in recent years. In connection with our efforts to restate our prior financial statements, remediate our material weaknesses, regain our timely filing status, and undertake related activities, we have incurred third party professional fees in excess of the amounts we estimate that we would have otherwise incurred. The estimated professional fees associated with these efforts are as follows:

(in thousands)						Balance to be Paid
For the Three Months Ended	Expensed		Paid			in Future Periods
March 31, 2018	$	3,700	$	(7,755	)	$	6,230
June 30, 2018	2,940		(5,938		)	3,232

March 31, 2019	1,649		(2,621		)	2,223

We currently estimate that during 2019, we will expend a total of $6.3 million in excess professional fees. We expect to continue to incur professional fees as we focus on the remediation of our continuing material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting. Due to the ongoing material weaknesses in our controls over financial reporting, we currently undertake additional substantive procedures to test and verify financial statement amounts in connection with the preparation of our financial statements.

Non-GAAP Measures

We refer to certain financial measures and statistics that are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We utilize these non-GAAP measures in order to evaluate the underlying factors that affect our business performance and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or as a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We have defined and provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP measures used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis are as follows:

Adjusted Gross Revenue and Disallowed Revenue - “Adjusted gross revenue” reflects our gross billings after their adjustment to reflect estimated discounts established in our contracts with payors of health care claims. Pursuant to our contracts with payors, a portion of our adjusted gross billings may be disallowed based on factors including physician documentation, patient eligibility, plan design, prior authorization, timeliness of filings or appeal, coding selection, failure by certain patients to pay their portion of claims, computational errors associated with sequestration, and other factors. We refer to these and other amounts as being “disallowed revenue” or “payor disallowances.” Our net revenue reflects adjusted gross revenue after reduction for the estimated aggregate amount of disallowed revenue for the applicable period. To facilitate analysis of the comparability of our results, we provide these non-GAAP measures due to the significant changes that we have experienced in recent years in disallowed revenue which are further discussed below.

Same Clinic Revenues Per Day - measures the year-over-year change in revenue from clinics that have been open a full calendar year or more. Examples of clinics not included in the same center population are closures and acquisitions. Day-adjusted growth normalizes sales for the number of days a clinic was open in each comparable period.

Business Overview

General

We are a leading national provider of products and services that assist in enhancing or restoring the physical capabilities of patients with disabilities or injuries. Built on the legacy of James Edward Hanger, the first amputee of the American Civil War, we and our predecessor companies have provided O&P services for over 150 years. We provide 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.

Our Patient Care segment is primarily comprised of Hanger Clinic, which specializes in the design, fabrication, and delivery of custom O&P devices through 697 patient care clinics and 104 satellite locations in 45 states and the District of Columbia as of March 31, 2019. We also provide payor network contracting services to other O&P providers through this segment.

Our Products & Services segment is comprised of our distribution services and our therapeutic solutions businesses. As a leading provider of O&P products in the United States, we coordinate, through our distribution services business, the procurement and distribution of a broad catalog of O&P parts, componentry, and devices to independent O&P providers nationwide. To facilitate speed and convenience, we deliver these products through our five distribution facilities that are located in Nevada, Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Texas. The other business in our Products & Services segment is our therapeutic solutions business, which develops specialized rehabilitation technologies and provides evidence-based clinical programs for post-acute rehabilitation to patients at approximately 3,900 skilled nursing and post-acute providers nationwide.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our net revenues were $236.4 million and we recorded net loss of $7.0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, our net revenues were $234.0 million and we recorded net loss of $22.6 million.

Industry Overview

We estimate that approximately $4.2 billion is spent in the United States each year for orthotic and prosthetic products and services. We estimate that our Patient Care segment currently accounts for approximately 20% of market share, providing a comprehensive portfolio of orthotic, prosthetic, and post-operative solutions to patients in acute, post-acute, and patient care clinic settings.

The traditional O&P patient care industry is highly fragmented and is characterized by local, independent O&P businesses. We do not believe that any single competitor accounts for more than 2% of the country’s total estimated O&P patient care clinic revenues.

The industry is characterized by stable, recurring revenues, primarily resulting from new patients as well as the need for periodic replacement and modification of O&P devices. We anticipate that the demand for O&P services will continue to grow as the nation’s population increases, and as a result of several trends, including the aging of the U.S. population, there will be an increase in the prevalence of disease-related disability and the demand for new and advanced devices. We believe the typical replacement time for prosthetic devices is three to five years, while the typical replacement time for orthotic devices varies, depending on the device.

We estimate that approximately $1.7 billion is spent in the United States each year by providers of O&P patient care services for the O&P products, components, devices, and supplies used in their businesses. Our Products & Services segment distributes to independent providers of O&P services and to our own patient care clinics. We estimate that our distribution sales account for approximately 8% of the market for O&P products, components, devices, and supplies (excluding sales to our Patient Care segment).

We estimate the market for rehabilitation technologies, integrated clinical programs, and clinician training in skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) to be approximately $150 million annually. We currently provide these products and services to approximately 24% of the estimated 15,000 SNFs located in the U.S. We estimate the market for rehabilitation technologies, clinical programs, and training within the broader post-acute rehabilitation markets to be approximately $400 million annually. We do not currently provide a meaningful amount of products and services to this broader market.

Business Description

Patient Care

Our Patient Care segment employs approximately 1,500 clinical prosthetists, orthotists, and pedorthists, which we refer to as clinicians, substantially all of which are certified by either the American Board for Certification or the Board of Certification of Orthotists and Prosthetists, which are the two boards that certify O&P clinicians. To facilitate timely service to our patients, we also employ technicians, fitters, and other ancillary providers to assist its clinicians in the performance of their duties. Through this segment, we additionally provide network contracting services to independent providers of O&P.

Patients are typically referred to Hanger Clinic by an attending physician who determines a patient’s treatment and writes a prescription. Our clinicians then consult with both the referring physician and the patient with a view toward assisting in the design of an orthotic or prosthetic device to meet the patient’s needs. O&P devices are increasingly technologically advanced and custom designed to add functionality and comfort to patients’ lives, shorten the rehabilitation process, and lower the cost of rehabilitation.

Based on the prescription written by a referring physician, our clinicians examine and evaluate the patient and either design a custom device or, in the case of certain orthotic needs, utilize a non-custom device, including, in appropriate circumstances, an “off the shelf” device, to address the patient’s needs. When fabricating a device, our clinicians ascertain the specific requirements, componentry, and measurements necessary for the construction of the device. Custom devices are constructed using componentry provided by a variety of third party manufacturers who specialize in O&P, coupled with sockets and other elements that are fabricated by our clinicians and technicians, to meet the individual patient’s physical and ambulatory needs. Our clinicians and technicians typically utilize castings, electronic scans, and other techniques to fabricate items that are specialized for the patient. After fabricating the device, a fitting process is undertaken and adjustments are made to ensure the achievement of proper alignment, fit, and patient comfort. The fitting process often involves several stages to successfully achieve desired functional and cosmetic results.

Given the differing physical weight and size characteristics, location of injury or amputation, capability for physical activity and mobility, cosmetic and other needs of each individual patient, each fabricated prosthesis and orthosis is customized for each particular patient. These custom devices are commonly fabricated at one of our regional or national fabrication facilities.

We have earned a reputation within the O&P industry for the development and use of innovative technology in our products, which has increased patient comfort and capability and can significantly enhance the rehabilitation process. Frequently, our proprietary Insignia scanning system is used in the fabrication process. The Insignia system scans the patient and produces an accurate computer-generated image, resulting in a faster turnaround for the patient’s device and a more professional overall experience.

In recent years, we have established a centralized revenue cycle management organization that assists our clinics in pre-authorization, patient eligibility, denial management, collections, payor audit coordination, and other accounts receivable processes.

The principal reimbursement sources for our services are:

· Commercial private payors and other non-governmental organizations, which consist of individuals, rehabilitation providers, commercial insurance companies, HMOs, PPOs, hospitals, vocational rehabilitation centers, workers’ compensation programs, third party administrators, and similar sources;

· Medicare, a federally funded health insurance program providing health insurance coverage for persons aged 65 or older and certain disabled persons;

Table of Contents

· Medicaid, a health insurance program jointly funded by federal and state governments providing health insurance coverage for certain persons based upon financial need, regardless of age, which may supplement Medicare benefits for financially needy persons aged 65 or older; and

· the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

We typically enter into contracts with third party payors that allow us to perform O&P services for a referred patient and to be paid under the contract with the third party payor. These contracts usually have a stated term of one to three years. These contracts generally may be terminated without cause by either party on 60 to 90 days’ notice or on 30 days’ notice if we have not complied with certain licensing, certification, program standards, Medicare or Medicaid requirements, or other regulatory requirements. Reimbursement for services is typically based on a fee schedule negotiated with the third party payor that reflects various factors, including market conditions, geographic area, and number of persons covered. Many of our commercial contracts are indexed to the commensurate Medicare fee schedule that relates to the products or services being provided.

Government reimbursement is comprised of Medicare, Medicaid, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. These payors set maximum reimbursement levels for O&P services and products. Medicare prices are adjusted each year based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”) unless Congress acts to change or eliminate the adjustment. The CPI-U is adjusted further by an efficiency factor (the “Productivity Adjustment” or the “Multi-Factor Productivity Adjustment”) in order to determine the final rate adjustment each year. There can be no assurance that future adjustments will not reduce reimbursements for O&P services and products from these sources.

We, and the O&P industry in general, are subject to various Medicare compliance audits, including Recovery Audit Contractor (“RAC”) audits, Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (“CERT”) audits, Targeted Probe and Educate (“TPE”) audits, and Zone Program Integrity Contractor (“ZPIC”) audits. TPE audits are generally pre-payment audits, while RAC, CERT, and ZPIC audits are generally post-payment audits. TPE audits replaced the previous Medicare Administrative Contractor audits. Adverse post-payment audit determinations generally require Hanger to reimburse Medicare for payments previously made, while adverse pre-payment audit determinations generally result in the denial of payment. In either case, we can request a redetermination or appeal, if we believe the adverse determination is unwarranted, which can take an extensive period of time to resolve, currently up to six years or more.

Products & Services

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Prosthetic Supply, Inc. (“SPS”), we distribute O&P components to independent O&P clinics and other customers. Through our internal “supply chain” organization, we purchase, warehouse and distribute over 400,000 SKUs from more than 300 different manufacturers through SPS or directly to our own clinics within our Patient Care segment. Our warehousing and distribution facilities in Nevada, Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Texas, provide us with the ability to deliver products to the vast majority of our customers in the United States within two business days. Through our SureFit subsidiary, we also manufacture and sell therapeutic footwear for diabetic patients in the podiatric market. We also operate the Hanger Fabrication Network, which fabricates custom O&P devices for our patient care clinics as well as for independent O&P clinics.

Our distribution services business enables us to:

· centralize our purchasing and thus lower our material costs by negotiating purchasing discounts from manufacturers;

· better manage our patient care clinic inventory levels and improve inventory turns;

· improve inventory quality control;

· encourage our patient care clinics to use the most clinically appropriate products; and

· coordinate new product development efforts with key vendors.

Table of Contents

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Accelerated Care Plus Corp., our therapeutic solutions business is a leading provider of rehabilitation technologies and integrated clinical programs to post-acute care and rehabilitation providers. Our value proposition is to provide our customers with a full-service “total solutions” approach encompassing proven medical technology, evidence based clinical programs, and ongoing clinician education and training. Our services support increasingly advanced treatment options for a broader patient population and more medically complex conditions. We serve approximately 3,900 skilled nursing and post-acute providers nationwide.

Reimbursement Trends

In our Patient Care segment, we are reimbursed primarily through employer-based plans offered by commercial insurance carriers, Medicare, Medicaid, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Patient Care constituted 80.6% of our net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Our remaining net revenue was provided by our Products & Services segment which derives its net revenue from commercial transactions with independent O&P providers, healthcare facilities, and other customers. In contrast to net revenues from our Patient Care segment, payment for these products and services are not directly subject to third party reimbursement from health care payors.

The following is a summary of our net revenue by payor mix for the Patient Care segment expressed as a percentage of net revenues for the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Patient Care Segment
Medicare	30.3	%	30.5	%
Medicaid	15.8	%	15.8	%
Commercial Insurance/ Managed Care (excluding Medicare and Medicaid Managed Care)	36.8	%	37.4	%
Veterans Administration	9.6	%	8.9	%
Private Pay	7.5	%	7.4	%
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%

The amount of our reimbursement varies based on the nature of the O&P device we fabricate for our patients. Given the particular physical weight and size characteristics, location of injury or amputation, capability for physical activity and mobility, cosmetic and other needs of each individual patient, each fabricated prostheses and orthoses is customized for each particular patient. The nature of this customization and the manner by which our claims submissions are reviewed by payors makes our reimbursement process administratively difficult.

To receive reimbursement for our work, we must ensure that our clinical, administrative, and billing personnel receive and verify certain medical and health plan information, record detailed documentation regarding the services we provide, and accurately and timely perform a number of claims submission and related administrative tasks. It is our belief the increased nationwide efforts to reduce health care costs has driven changes in industry trends with increases in payor pre-authorization processes, documentation requirements, pre-payment reviews and pre- and post-payment audits,

A measure of our effectiveness in securing reimbursement for our services can be found in the degree to which payors ultimately disallow payment of our claims. Payors can deny claims due to their determination that a physician who referred a patient to us did not sufficiently document that a device was medically necessary or clearly establish the ambulatory (or “activity”) level of a patient. Claims can also be denied based on our failure to ensure that a patient was currently eligible under a payor’s health plan, that the plan provides full O&P benefits, that we received prior authorization, that we filed or appealed the payor’s determination timely, on the basis of our coding, failure by certain classes of patients to pay their portion of a claim and for various other reasons. If any portion of, or administrative factor within, our claim is found by the payor to be lacking, then the entirety of the claim amount may be denied reimbursement.

Commencing in late 2014 and continuing through today, we have taken a number of actions to manage disallowed revenue trends. These initiatives included: (i) the retention of consultants and creation of a central revenue cycle management function; (ii) addressing the issues identified in our patient management and electronic health record system; and (iii) the establishment of new clinic-level procedures and training regarding the collection of supporting documentation and the importance of diligence in our claims submission processes.

Disallowed revenue is considered an adjustment to the transaction price. Estimated uncollectible amounts due to us by patients are generally considered implicit price concessions and are presented as a reduction of net revenue. These amounts recorded in net revenue within the Patient Care segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2019			2018
Net revenue	$	190,601		$	188,507
Estimated implicit price concessions arising from:

Growth Rates and Earnings Effects

Patient Care

During the three month period ending March 31, 2019, approximately 51% of our net revenue was derived from the provision of prosthetic devices to our patients. These devices have a significantly higher relative reimbursement as compared with the orthotic devices and other related prosthetic supplies that we provide patients. The volume of prosthetic patients we see from one period to the next varies greatly, and this has a significant effect on our relative rate of net revenue growth we experience. Additionally, with the exception of materials costs and certain incentive compensation amounts, our staffing levels, operating costs, lease costs, depreciation and amortization expenses, and interest costs, are essentially fixed in nature. As a result, increases or decreases in our revenue from one period to the next can have a significant effect on our comparative reporting earnings for those periods.

Products & Services

As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, under Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in 2017, several of the larger independent O&P providers we served through the distribution of componentry encountered financial difficulties which resulted in our discontinuing distribution services to them. Generally, we believe our distribution customers encounter reimbursement pressures similar to those we experience in our own Patient Care services and, depending on their ability to adapt to the increased claims documentation standards that have emerged in our industry, this may either limit the rate of growth of some of our customers, or otherwise affect the rate of growth we experience in our distribution of O&P componentry to independent providers.

Table of Contents

Within our Products & Services segment, in addition to our distribution of products, we provide therapeutic equipment and services to patients at SNFs and other healthcare provider locations. Since 2016, a number of our clients, including several of our larger SNF clients, began to discontinue their use of our therapeutic services. We believe these discontinuances relate primarily to their overall efforts to reduce the costs they bear for therapy-related services within their facilities. As a part of those terminations of service, in a number of cases, we elected to sell terminating clients the equipment that we had utilized for their locations. In 2019, we anticipate a further decline of approximately $5.0 million to $7.0 million in revenue from these services associated with customer discontinuances. Within this portion of our business, we have responded to these trends through increases in our marketing programs which convey the value we believe our services have to patients at SNFs and other adjacent health services provider markets.

Acquisitions

In the first three months of 2019, we completed the acquisition of one business with 25 O&P clinics similar to those we operate through our Patient Care segment for an aggregate purchase price of $32.5 million. The purchase price consists of $27.7 million cash consideration, net of cash acquired, $4.5 million of unsecured notes issued to the sellers at fair value and $0.3 million of estimated additional consideration expected to be paid in the second quarter of 2019. In the last three months of 2018, we completed the acquisition of two O&P businesses for a combined purchase price of $3.1 million, of which $2.0 million was net cash consideration and $1.1 million was issued in an unsecured note to the seller. We do not believe these acquisitions undertaken in the first three months of 2019 and the last three months of 2018 have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or our results from operations. We made no acquisitions in the first nine months of 2018.

New System Implementations

In recent years we have been undertaking the implementation of a new patient management and electronic health record system at our patient care clinics. In the first quarter of 2019, we completed this multi-year implementation. For the three month period ended March 31, 2019, we expensed $0.8 million in training, travel and related implementation costs. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we expensed $4.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively, for these implementation expenses. In future periods we intend to convert acquired clinics to this system in the ordinary course of our business.

During 2019, we intend to commence the design, implementation planning and initial implementation of new financial and supply chain systems, and to invest in new servers and software that operate as a part of our technology infrastructure. During 2019, we currently anticipate that we will spend $3.5 million in operating expenses associated with the new financial and supply chain systems and that we will incur $6.0 million in incremental capital expenditures associated with our investments in technology infrastructure. In 2020 and 2021, we currently expect to continue to incur operating expense for the financial and supply chain projects similar in amount to our 2019 expenses levels in connection with this implementation.

Seasonality

We believe our business is affected by the degree to which patients have otherwise met the deductibles for which they are responsible in their medical plans during the course of the year. The first quarter is normally our lowest relative net revenue and earnings quarter, followed by the second and third quarters, which are somewhat higher and consistent with one another, and, due to the general fulfillment by patients of their health plan co-payments and deductible requirements towards the year’s end, our fourth quarter is normally our highest revenue producing quarter.

Our results are also affected, to a lesser extent, by our holding of an education fair in the first quarter of each year. This one-week event is conducted to assist our clinicians in maintaining their training and certification requirements and to facilitate a national meeting with our clinical leaders. We also invite manufacturers of the componentry for the devices we fabricate to these annual events so they can demonstrate their products and otherwise assist in our training process. During the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, we spent approximately $2.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, on travel and other costs associated with this one-week event. In addition to the costs we incur associated with this annual event, we also lose the productivity of a significant portion of our clinicians during the period in and around the timing of this event, which contributes to the lower seasonal revenue level we experience during the first quarter of each year.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Net revenue. Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $236.4 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 1.0%, from $234.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Net revenue by operating segment, after elimination of intersegment activity, was as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,						Percent
(dollars in thousands)	2019		2018		Change		Change
Patient Care	$	190,601	$	188,507	$	2,094	1.1	%
Products & Services	45,818		45,488		330		0.7	%
Net revenue	$	236,419	$	233,995	$	2,424	1.0	%

Table of Contents

Patient Care net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $190.6 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 1.1%, from $188.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Net revenue from clinics acquired after March 31, 2018 was $4.8 million offset by $0.2 million of lower net revenue associated with clinic closures. Patient care revenue from ecommerce increased $0.6 million. Same clinic revenue decreased $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting a decrease in same clinic revenue of 0.1% on a per day basis.

Prosthetics constituted approximately 51% of our total Patient Care revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 52% for the same period in 2018 excluding the impact of acquisitions. Prosthetic revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 0.7% lower, on a per day basis, than the same period in the prior year excluding the impact of acquisitions. We believe this decrease in prosthetic revenues was primarily due to timing of deliveries. Orthotics, shoes, inserts, and other products increased by 0.9% on a per day basis for the same comparative periods excluding the impact of acquisitions.

Products & Services net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $45.8 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 0.7% from $45.5 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was comprised of $1.8 million from the distribution of O&P componentry to independent providers offset by a $1.5 million decrease in net revenue from therapeutic solutions, as a result of continued net client cancellations. We anticipate moderation of near-term Products & Services segment growth due primarily to a continuation of these therapeutic solutions revenue trends.

Material costs. Material costs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $78.4 million, an increase of $2.0 million or 2.6%, from $76.4 million for the same period in the prior year. Total material costs as a percentage of net revenue increased to 33.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 32.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to changes in our Product & Services segment business mix. Material costs by operating segment, after elimination of intersegment activity, were as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,						Percent
(dollars in thousands)	2019		2018		Change		Change
Patient Care	$	59,150	$	57,899	$	1,251	2.2	%
Products & Services	19,227		18,457		770		4.2	%
Material costs	$	78,377	$	76,356	$	2,021	2.6	%

Patient Care material costs increased $1.3 million, or 2.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of acquisitions. Patient Care material costs as a percent of net revenue increased to 31.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 30.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to increases in sales of higher-cost prosthetic devices when compared to orthotics.

Products & Services material costs increased $0.8 million, or 4.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year. As a percent of net revenue, material costs were 42.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 40.6% in the same period 2018. The increase in material as a percent of net revenue was due to a change in business mix within the segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, distribution services was 72.4% of net revenue with 53.2% material costs as a percent of net revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, distribution services was 68.9% of net revenue with a 53.3% material costs as a percent of net revenue. Therapeutic solutions, the other business in the Product & Services segment, had material costs as a percent of net revenue at 12.5% for both three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Personnel costs. Personnel costs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $86.7 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 0.7%, from $86.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Personnel costs by operating segment were as follows:

Table of Contents

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,						Percent
(dollars in thousands)	2019		2018		Change		Change
Patient Care	$	73,709	$	73,613	$	96	0.1	%
Products & Services	13,002		12,495		507		4.1	%
Personnel costs	$	86,711	$	86,108	$	603	0.7	%

Personnel costs for the Patient Care segment were $73.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.1%, from $73.6 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in Patient Care personnel costs during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily related to an increase of $1.4 million in benefits expense relating to higher health claims experience and higher 401(k) match offset by $0.8 million lower salary expense and $0.5 million lower commission expense when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Within General and Administrative expenses, as discussed below, the Patient Care segment also incurred an additional increase of $0.1 million in benefits expenses, for a total $1.5 million increase within this segment as compared with the prior year period.

Personnel costs in the Products & Services segment were $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $0.5 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Benefits expense increased $0.3 million and salary expense increased $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Other operating costs. Other operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $33.6 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 7.9%, from $31.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Other operating expenses increased $1.1 million from higher sales and use tax and additional costs from the acquisition in January 2019. Rent expense increased an additional $0.6 million from new, renewed, and acquired leases and $0.3 million as a result of the adoption of ASC 842, further described in Note A — “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. In addition, professional fees increased $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to investments made in certain revenue cycle management initiatives.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $28.3 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 10.3%, from the same period in the prior year. This increase includes a $0.7 million increase in equity-based compensation and $0.3 million in deferred compensation primarily due to an executive forfeiture in the prior year period. Increases in general and administrative expenses also include approximately $0.6 million related to new system implementations and acquisitions, $0.5 million in temporary staffing to assist with material weakness remediation, $0.3 million related to increase in franchise and other business taxes, and $0.2 million in benefits related to higher claim costs.

Professional accounting and legal fees. Professional accounting and legal fees for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $2.7 million, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 44.3%, from $4.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Advisory and other fees decreased $2.1 million primarily due to decreased utilization of professional fees to assist in the remediation of our material weaknesses, to regain our timely filing status and to undertake related activities.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $8.8 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 6.0%, from $9.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Amortization expense decreased $0.6 million when compared to the prior period as a result of certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized prior to the first quarter of 2019.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $8.5 million, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 30.4%, from $12.3 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates on outstanding borrowings arising from our debt refinancing in March 2018.

Table of Contents

Benefit for income taxes. The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3.7 million, or 35.0% of loss before income taxes, compared to a benefit of $6.2 million, or 21.5% of loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The effective tax rate in 2019 consists principally of the 21% federal statutory tax rate and the rate impact from state income taxes and permanent tax differences. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with the same period in the prior year is primarily attributable to the change from the discrete method in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to the annual effective tax rate method in the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increased estimated annual income, a decreased loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to three months ended March 31, 2018, and the windfall from stock-based compensation recorded as a discrete item during the period.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

Liquidity

To provide cash for our operations and capital expenditures, our immediate source of liquidity is our cash and cash equivalents and any amounts we have available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility. We refer to the sum of these two amounts as our “liquidity.”

At March 31, 2019, we had total liquidity of $115.3 million, which reflected a decrease of $73.9 million from the $189.2 million in liquidity we had as of December 31, 2018. Our liquidity at March 31, 2019 was comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $20.5 million and $94.8 million in available borrowing capacity under our $100.0 million revolving credit facility. This decrease in liquidity primarily relates to the use of cash of $36.5 million for the payment of annual incentive bonus, tax payments on stock vesting, and the employer 401(k) matching contribution, $27.7 million for an acquisition consummated in January 2019, net of cash acquired, a net reduction of $5.6 million of accounts payable, and the remainder attributable to our operational results and changes in working capital.

As discussed in “Seasonality” above, the first quarter is our lowest revenue-producing quarter and, combined with the annual incentive bonus and 401(k) employer matching contributions discussed above, has historically resulted in a reduction in our liquidity during the first quarter of each year.

If we are not compliant with our debt covenants in any period, absent a waiver or amendment of our Credit Agreement, we may be unable to access funds in our revolving credit facility.

Working Capital and Days Sales Outstanding

At March 31, 2019, we had working capital of $77.2 million compared to working capital of $154.6 million at December 31, 2018. Our working capital decreased $77.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to a decrease in current assets of $80.6 million and a decrease in current liabilities of $3.2 million.

The decrease in current assets was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $74.6 million, a decrease in accounts receivable, net of $7.1 million, and the reclassification of prepaid rent of $3.8 million to the Current portion of long-term debt upon adoption of ASC 842, historically recorded in Other current assets. The decrease in cash primarily relates to the uses of cash discussed in the liquidity section above. Further, as discussed in “Seasonality” above, due to the typical resetting of patient deductibles at year end, the fourth quarter is normally our highest revenue-producing quarter and the first quarter is our lowest, resulting in a decline in accounts receivable in the first quarter of the following year. The decreases were offset by an increase of $2.3 million in inventory, primarily related to acquisitions, and a $2.1 million increase in other current assets excluding the reclassification of prepaid rent upon adoption of ASC 842 discussed above.

The decrease in current liabilities was primarily attributable to the payment of $36.5 million for the distribution of the annual incentive bonus, tax payments on stock vesting, and the employer 401(k) matching contribution and a decrease in accounts payable of $5.6 million. The decrease was offset by the adoption of ASC 842 and additional operating lease liabilities assumed in the quarter, resulting in an increase of $33.7 million at March 31, 2019, an increase in Accrued compensation related costs of $3.6 million for current year activity, and $2.3 million in education expenses related to the education fair held in the first quarter of 2019.

Table of Contents

Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) is a calculation that approximates the average number of days between the billing for our services and the date of our receipt of payment, which we estimate using a 90-day rolling period of net revenue. This computation can provide a relative measure of the effectiveness of our billing and collections activities. Clinics acquired during the past 90-day period are excluded from the calculation. As of March 31, 2019, our DSO was 52 days, which compares to a DSO of 49 days as of March 31, 2018. One-time administrative billing changes and the impact of implementing our patient management and electronic health system in certain of our largest operating regions contributed to collection delays during the quarter, which we believe to be temporary. As of March 31, 2019, the implementation of the new patient management and electronic health record system was complete.

Sources and Uses of Cash for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to March 31, 2018

Net cash flows used in operating activities increased $24.3 million to $32.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This was due primarily to the uses of cash and changes in working capital in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 discussed in the Working Capital and Days Sales Outstanding section above.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased $28.8 million to $35.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in cash used in investing activities was due to $27.7 million in cash consideration for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and a $2.5 million increase in purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Cash flows provided by financing activities decreased by $51.9 million to a use of cash of $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from cash provided by financing activities of $45.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Cash flows provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 included $49.4 million related to the refinancing of our indebtedness, including payment of $15.2 million in debt issuance and extinguishment costs, whereas in the three months ended March 31, 2019, cash flows used in debt financing activities was $1.3 million.

Effect of Indebtedness

On March 6, 2018 we entered into the Credit Agreement in order to refinance our indebtedness and is disclosed in Note M - “Debt,” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this report. Our indebtedness bears reduced rates of interest compared with those under our prior indebtedness, and as such interest expense is lower for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Cash paid for interest totaled $7.7 million and $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Securities and Derivative Litigation

In November 2014, a securities class action complaint, City of Pontiac General Employees’ Retirement System v. Hanger, et al., C.A. No. 1:14-cv-01026-SS, was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The complaint named us and certain of our current and former officers for allegedly making materially false and misleading statements regarding, inter alia, our financial statements, RAC audit success rate, the implementation of new financial systems, same-store sales growth, and the adequacy of our internal processes and controls. The complaint alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint sought unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief.

In February and August of 2015, two separate shareholder derivative suits were filed in Texas state court against us related to the announced restatement of certain of our financial statements. The cases were subsequently consolidated into Judy v. Asar, et. al., Cause No. D-1-GN-15-000625. On October 25, 2016, plaintiffs in that action filed an amended complaint, and the case is currently pending before the 459th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas.

The amended complaint in the consolidated derivative action names us and certain of our current and former officers and directors as defendants. It alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty based, inter alia, on the defendants’ alleged failure to exercise good faith to ensure that we had in place adequate accounting and financial controls and that disclosures regarding our business, financial performance and internal controls were truthful and accurate. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief.
