ORTHOFIX INTERNATIONAL N.V.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Business and basis of presentation

Orthofix International N.V. (the “Company”) is a diversified, global medical device company focused on improving patients’ lives by providing superior reconstructive and regenerative orthopedic and spine solutions to physicians. The Company has four strategic business units (“SBUs”) that are also its reporting segments: BioStim, Biologics, Extremity Fixation, and Spine Fixation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, 2017. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 have been adjusted from previously reported amounts as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, which was adopted during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 with an effective date of January 1, 2016.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to revenue recognition, contractual allowances, doubtful accounts, inventories, potential goodwill and intangible asset impairment, fair value measurements, litigation and contingent liabilities, income taxes, and share-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Topic

 

Description of Guidance

 

Effective Date

 

Status of Company's Evaluation

Revenue Recognition

(ASU 2014-09,

as amended)

 

Requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Applied either retrospectively or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the adoption date.

 

January 1, 2018

 

The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. The Company completed an initial impact assessment and believes adopting this ASU will materially impact the timing of revenue recognition, primarily for Extremity Fixation and Spine Fixation product sales to stocking distributors, which are currently accounted for using the sell-through method. Specifically, the Company believes the revenue associated with these sales will be recorded at the time of the sale instead of deferring recognition until cash is received. The Company expects to adopt this new guidance using the modified retrospective transition method.

Financial Instruments

(ASU 2016-01)

 

Requires entities to measure equity investments, except in limited circumstances, at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. Applied prospectively.

 

January 1, 2018

 

The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Topic

 

Description of Guidance

 

Effective Date

 

Status of Company's Evaluation

Leases

(ASU 2016-02)

 

Requires a lessee to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases classified as operating leases. Applied using a modified retrospective approach.

 

January 1, 2019

 

The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements; however, the Company expects this guidance will result in current operating lease obligations being reflected on the consolidated balance sheet.

Income Taxes

(ASU 2016-16)

 

Reduces complexity by requiring current and deferred income taxes for intra-entity asset transfers, other than inventory, to be recognized when the transfer occurs. Applied using a modified retrospective approach.

 

January 1, 2018

 

The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows

(ASU 2016-18)

 

Reduces diversity in classification and presentation of restricted cash, including transfers between cash and restricted cash, on the statement of cash flows. Applied retrospectively.

 

January 1, 2018

 

The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated statement of cash flows.

In December 2016, the Company approved and initiated a planned restructuring, which primarily affects the Extremity Fixation SBU, to streamline costs, improve operational performance, and wind down a non-core business. The restructuring plan consists primarily of severance charges and the write-down of certain assets. The Company expects to incur total pre-tax expense of approximately $2.9 million in connection with this restructuring activity and has incurred cumulative costs to date of $2.0 million. The Company had an accrual of $1.5 million as of December 31, 2016 in other current liabilities related to the planned restructuring. In the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company increased its estimate of costs to be incurred by approximately $0.1 million and made additional payments of $0.6 million, resulting in an ending accrual of $1.0 million as of June 30, 2017.

 

 

4. Long-term debt

As of June 30, 2017, the Company has not made any borrowings under its five year $125 million secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and certain lenders party thereto. The Company has also not made any borrowings on its €5.8 million ($6.6 million) available line of credit in Italy at June 30, 2017.  The Company is in compliance with all required financial covenants as of June 30, 2017.

The fair value of the debt security, which is recorded within other long-term assets, is based upon significant unobservable inputs, including the use of a discounted cash flow model, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions; therefore, the Company has categorized this asset as a Level 3 financial asset. As of June 30, 2017, the Company reassessed its estimate of fair value based on current financial information and other assumptions, resulting in a fair value of $9.0 million, which is consistent with the Company’s estimated fair value from the first quarter of 2017. This compares to an amortized cost basis in the debt security of $18.0 million.

The Company evaluated the decline in fair value recorded during the first quarter of 2017 to determine if the impairment was other-than-temporary. Based on this evaluation, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $5.6 million before income taxes, which is recorded in other expense. In addition to the decrease in fair value, the other-than-temporary impairment included a reclassification of the amount that was previously considered temporary and included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

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

6. Contingencies

In addition to the matters described below, in the normal course of its business, the Company is involved in various lawsuits from time to time and may be subject to certain other contingencies. The Company believes losses with respect to these additional matters are individually and collectively immaterial as to a possible loss and range of loss.

 

Discontinued Operations – Matters Related to Breg and Possible Indemnification Obligations

On May 24, 2012, the Company sold Breg to an affiliate of Water Street Healthcare Partners II, L.P. (“Water Street”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company indemnified Water Street and Breg with respect to certain specified matters, including the following:

 

Breg was engaged in the manufacturing and sale of local infusion pumps for pain management from 1999 to 2008. Since 2008, numerous product liability cases have been filed in the United States alleging that the local anesthetic, when dispensed by such infusion pumps inside a joint, causes a rare arthritic condition called “chondrolysis.” One case remains outstanding for which the Company currently cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss, or range of loss.

9


 

 

At the time of its divestiture by the Company, Breg was engaged in the manufacturing and sales of motorized cold therapy units used to reduce pain and swelling. Several domestic product liability cases have been filed in recent years, mostly in California state court. In September 2014, the Company entered into a master settlement agreement resolving then pending pre-close cold therapy claims. Currently pending is a post-close cold therapy claim in California state court. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has an accrual of $2.6 million recorded within other current liabilities; however, the actual liability could be higher or lower than the amount accrued.

Charges incurred as a result of this indemnification are reflected as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company issued 76,596 and 325,393 shares, respectively, of common stock related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises and the vesting of restricted stock awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company issued 291,275 and 528,791 shares, respectively, of common stock related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises and the vesting of restricted stock awards.

 

 

11. Income taxes

Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on an estimated annual income tax rate, adjusted for discrete tax items.  As a result, the Company’s interim effective tax rates may vary significantly from the statutory tax rate and the annual effective tax rate.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the effective tax rate on continuing operations was 45.3% and (138.5%), respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the effective tax rate on continuing operations was 76.4% and 128.5%.The primary factors affecting the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, were the method for estimating income taxes at interim periods, the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and current period losses in certain jurisdictions for which the Company does not currently receive a tax benefit.

The Internal Revenue Service is currently conducting examinations of the Company’s federal income tax returns for 2012 and 2013. The Company cannot reasonably determine if these examinations will have a material impact on its financial statements and cannot predict the timing regarding resolution of these tax examinations.

 

 

12. Earnings per share (“EPS”)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, no adjustments were made to net income (loss) for purposes of calculating basic and diluted EPS. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in diluted EPS computations.

Three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 2016

Gross profit, sales and marketing expense, and non-GAAP net margin, an internal metric that we define as gross profit less sales and marketing expense changed as follows:

 

Gross profit increased $4.2 million, primarily due to the growth in net sales

 

Sales and marketing expense increased $4.4 million, primarily due to a higher mix of sales from new distributors in Biologics, who typically receive higher commissions in their first year, and higher spending in Extremity Fixation related to our sales growth in the U.S.

 

Non-GAAP net margin decreased by $0.2 million as a result of the changes in gross profit and sales and marketing expense

Six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 2016

Gross profit, sales and marketing expense, and non-GAAP net margin, an internal metric that we define as gross profit less sales and marketing expense changed as follows:

The increase in the effective tax rate is due to charges related to U.S. Government resolutions which were non-deductible for tax purposes and did not recur in 2017. The primary factors affecting our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2017 are as follows:

 

The mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions

 

Current period losses in jurisdictions where we do not currently receive a tax benefit

Six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 2016

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities decreased $11.6 million

 

Increase in net income of $4.8 million

 

Net increase of $10.6 million for non-cash gains and losses, largely related to the other-than-temporary impairment on the eNeura debt security in the first quarter of 2017, deferred income tax expense, and share-based compensation expense

 

Net decrease of $27.0 million relating to changes in working capital accounts, primarily attributable to changes in other current liabilities as a result of U.S. Government resolutions (discussed in further detail below), an increase in our inventory balance as a result of new product introductions, and accounts receivable as a result of the increase in net sales

Our two primary working capital accounts are accounts receivable and inventory. Days sales in receivables were 51 days at June 30, 2017 compared to 49 days at June 30, 2016. Inventory turns were 1.2 times as of June 30, 2017 compared to 1.5 times at June 30, 2016. The decline in inventory turns reflects the new product introductions in our Spine Fixation and Extremity Fixation SBUs.

U.S. Government Resolutions

In January 2017, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) approved our offers of settlement in connection with the SEC’s investigations of accounting matters leading to our prior restatement of financial statements and our review of improper payments in Brazil.  The settlements approved by the SEC resolved these two matters, and included payments to the SEC of amounts previously accrued and funded into escrow during 2016.

Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities increased $5.9 million

Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities increased $33.3 million

 

Increase of $43.9 million related to the share repurchase plan, which was completed in 2016

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for detailed information regarding the status of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by senior management in its financial and operational decision-making. We believe it is important to provide investors with the same non-GAAP metrics used to supplement information regarding the performance and underlying trends of our business operations in order to facilitate comparisons to historical operating results and internally evaluate the effectiveness of the our operating strategies. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of our underlying operating performance with other companies in the industry that also supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this filing may have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for GAAP financial measures. Some of the limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude items that reflect an economic cost that can have a material effect on cash flows.

19


 

Constant Currency

Constant currency is calculated by using foreign currency rates from the comparable, prior-year period, to present net sales at comparable rates. Constant currency can be presented for numerous GAAP measures, but is most commonly used by management to analyze net sales without the impact of changes in foreign currency rates.

Non-GAAP Net Margin

Non-GAAP net margin is an internal metric that we define as gross profit less sales and marketing expense. Non-GAAP net margin is the primary metric used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker in managing the business.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from net cash from operating activities. Free cash flow is an important indicator of how much cash is generated or used by our normal business operations, including capital expenditures. Management uses free cash flow as a measure of progress on its capital efficiency and cash flow initiatives.

There have been no material changes to our market risks as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. These include controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017. Based on this evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2017.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
