Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2021

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted and is likely to further adversely impact the Company’s business and markets, including the Company’s workforce and the operations of its customers, suppliers, and business partners. The full extent to which the pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition, including sales, expenses, manufacturing, clinical trials, research and development costs, reserves and allowances, fair value measurements, asset impairment charges, contingent consideration obligations, and the effectiveness of the Company's hedging instruments, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. These developments include, but are not limited to: the duration and spread of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (including new variants of COVID-19), its severity, the actions to contain the virus or address its impact, the timing, distribution, and efficacy of vaccines and other treatments, U.S. and foreign government actions to respond to the reduction in global economic activity, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

While the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and continues to evolve differently across various geographies, the Company believes it is likely to continue to experience variable impacts on its business. Hospitals are generally managing the pandemic better currently than they have in the earlier part of the pandemic due to more testing, improved protocols, more experience with the effects of COVID-19 and a greater number of vaccinated caregivers. During these challenging times, the Company’s priorities have been to support its clinician partners, protect the well-being of its employees and maintain continuous access to its life-saving technologies while offering front-line in-hospital support. The Company has established onsite COVID-19 testing and vaccination for its employees in both Danvers, Massachusetts and Aachen, Germany, set up temperature-taking stations, administered thousands of COVID-19 tests to date and provided personal protective equipment for its employees in order to maintain a safe working environment.

The Company’s proactive testing program has reduced exposure with early detection, reduced employee anxiety and enabled its manufacturing facilities to operate at full capacity in line with local social distancing requirements. The Company also took proactive actions in order to mitigate the business impact of COVID-19 on its financial operations and it continues to monitor closely in order the business impact of COVID-19. Despite the ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19, including the recent global resurgence, the Company continues to invest strategically in engineering, regulatory, clinical trials and manufacturing in order to support its future growth initiatives and sales and marketing activities, with a particular focus on training and education initiatives to drive utilization of its products and recovery awareness for acute heart failure patients.

The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of its business and geographies, including its impact on its customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict. Even after the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, the Company may continue to experience materially adverse impacts on its financial condition and results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASC 740). The ASU enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance in ASC 740, including requirements related to hybrid tax regimes, the tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, separate financial statements of entities not subject to tax, the intra-period tax allocation exception to the incremental approach, ownership changes in investments, changes from a subsidiary to an equity method investment, interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law, and the year-to-date loss limitation in interim-period tax accounting. This guidance is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2020; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard as of April 1, 2021 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” an amendment clarifying the interaction between accounting standards related to equity securities, equity method investments, and certain derivative instruments. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this standard as of April 1, 2021 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The leases have annual escalating payments and the latest expires in March 2025 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the existing agreement.
