Neo Medical Equity Investment and Convertible Loan Agreement

On October 1, 2020, the Company purchased preferred shares of Neo Medical SA, a privately held Swiss-based Medtech company (“Neo Medical”), for consideration of $5.0 million and entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement pursuant to which Orthofix loaned Neo Medical CHF 4.6 million (the “Convertible Loan”).

The equity securities are recorded in other long-term assets and are considered an investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value. As such, the Company measures this investment at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. As of June 30, 2021, the carrying value of this investment remained at $5.0 million.

The Convertible Loan matures on October 1, 2024, provided that if a change in control of Neo Medical occurs prior to the maturity date, the Convertible Loan shall become immediately due upon such event. The Convertible Loan is recorded in other long-term assets as an available for sale debt security at fair value, with applicable interest recorded in interest income. The fair value of the Convertible Loan, including accrued interest, is based upon significant unobservable inputs, including the use of Monte Carlo simulations, option-pricing models, and a probability-weighted discounted cash flows model, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions. Therefore, the Company has categorized this asset as a Level 3 financial asset.

Some of the more significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Convertible Loan include applicable discount rates, implied volatility, the likelihood and projected timing of repayment or conversion, and projected cash flows in support of the estimated enterprise value of Neo Medical.  Holding other inputs constant, changes in these assumptions could result in a significant change in the fair value of the Convertible Loan. If the amortized cost of the Convertible Loan exceeds its estimated fair value, the security is deemed to be impaired, and must be evaluated for the recognition of credit losses. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has not recognized any credit losses related to the Convertible Loan.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Convertible Loan, measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Contingent Consideration

The Company recognized a contingent consideration obligation in connection with the acquisition of Spinal Kinetics in 2018. The Spinal Kinetics contingent consideration consisted of potential future milestone payments of up to $60.0 million in cash. The milestone payments included (i) $15.0 million upon U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of the M6-C artificial cervical disc (the “FDA Milestone”) and (ii) revenue-based milestone payments of up to $45.0 million in connection with future sales of the acquired artificial discs. Milestones must be achieved within five years of April 30, 2018 to trigger applicable payments. The FDA Milestone was achieved and paid in 2019. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company achieved trailing-twelve month artificial disc sales of over $30.0 million, triggering the obligation of a $15.0 million milestone payment. The Company made this payment in the second quarter of 2021.

The estimated fair value of the remaining Spinal Kinetics contingent consideration was $20.7 million as of June 30, 2021. The estimated fair value reflects assumptions made by management as of June 30, 2021, such as the expected timing and volume of elective procedures and the impact of these procedures on future revenues. However, the actual amount ultimately paid could be higher or lower than the fair value of the remaining contingent consideration. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has classified the remaining contingent consideration liability within other long-term liabilities. Any changes in fair value are recorded as an operating expense within acquisition-related amortization and remeasurement.

The Company estimated the fair value of the remaining potential future revenue-based milestone payment using a Monte Carlo simulation and a discounted cash flow model. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are unobservable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. The key assumptions in applying the valuation model include the Company’s forecasted future revenues for Spinal Kinetics products, the expected timing of payment, applicable discount rates applied, and assumptions for potential volatility of the Company’s forecasted revenue. Significant changes in these assumptions could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value.
