Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Nature of operations, basis of presentation and recently issued accounting pronouncements

Nature of operations

Orthofix International N.V. (together with its subsidiaries, 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 is comprised of four reportable segments: BioStim, Biologics, Extremity Fixation and Spine Fixation supported by corporate activities.

Basis of presentation

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, 2016. The balance sheet at December 31, 2015, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

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 shared-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As permitted under U.S. GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year forecasts.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and 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. The standard was originally effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On July 9, 2015, the FASB agreed to defer the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The FASB also agreed to permit early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date. The standard is to be applied either retrospectively or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on the consolidated results of operations, cash flows, and financial position and developing processes and procedures to implement this guidance.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This ASU requires that an entity should measure inventory, unless accounted for under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) or retail inventory methods, at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance will be effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and does not expect it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This ASU requires entities to measure equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the new practicability exception. The guidance will be effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and does not expect it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires that a lessee recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and will be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, accounting for forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted, dependent upon the specific amendment that is adopted within the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this new guidance will have on the consolidated results of operations, cash flows, and financial position and developing processes and procedures to implement this guidance.

 

 

2. Inventories

The Company’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value, after provision for excess or obsolete items, which is reviewed and updated on a periodic basis by management determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Work-in-process and finished products include the cost of materials, labor and other production costs. Finished products include field inventory which represents immediately saleable finished products that are in the possession of the Company’s independent sales representatives, and consignment inventory which represents immediately saleable finished products located at third party customers, such as distributors and hospitals. Deferred cost of sales result from transactions where the Company has shipped product or performed services for which all revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Once the revenue recognition criteria have been met, both the revenues and associated cost of sales are recognized.

Inventories were as follows:

 

 

 

3. Long-term debt

On August 31, 2015, the Company, through certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), as Administrative Agent, and certain lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a five year $125 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”).  As of June 30, 2016, the Company has not made any borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, a total leverage ratio of not more than 3.0 to 1.0 and an interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0 based upon the Company’s consolidated adjusted earnings.  The Company is in compliance with all required financial covenants as of June 30, 2016. The Credit Agreement also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type, and upon the occurrence of such events of default, subject to customary cure rights, all outstanding loans under the Facility may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated.

The Company had no borrowings and an unused available line of credit of €5.8 million ($6.4 million and $6.3 million) at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, on its Italian line of credit. This unsecured line of credit provides the Company the option to borrow amounts in Italy at rates which are determined at the time of borrowing.

4. Derivative instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. During 2016 and 2015, the Company made use of a foreign cross-currency swap agreement to manage cash flow exposure generated from foreign currency fluctuations.

The tables below disclose the types of derivative instruments the Company owns, the classifications and fair values of these instruments within the balance sheet, and the amount of gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Any gains or losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings upon maturity.

 

 

 

 

 

5. Fair value measurements

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis were as follows:

Debt Securities

 

On March 4, 2015, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with eNeura, Inc. (“eNeura”), a privately held medical technology company that is developing devices for the treatment of migraines. The Option Agreement provides the Company with an exclusive option to acquire eNeura (the “Option”) during the 18-month period following the grant of the Option. In consideration for the Option, (i) the Company paid a non-refundable $0.3 million fee to eNeura, and (ii) eNeura issued a Convertible Promissory Note (the “eNeura Note”) to the Company. The principal amount of the eNeura Note is $15.0 million and interest accrues at 8.0%. The eNeura Note will mature on the earlier of (i) March 4, 2019, or (ii) exercise of the Option. The interest is not due until the note matures and will be forgiven if the Company exercises the option. The investment is recorded in other long-term assets as an available for sale debt security and interest is recorded in interest income.

 

The fair value of the debt security is based upon significant unobservable inputs, including the use of a 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. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company revised the estimated fair value which resulted in an impairment of $0.8 million. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company further revised its estimate based on current financial information and other assumptions.  Revisions to current financial information had a significant negative impact on the valuation of the debt security resulting in an additional impairment of $3.0 million, which the Company recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as an unrealized loss on debt securities. The Company continues to classify the impairment as temporary in nature as the Company does not intend to sell the debt security nor does it believe that recoverability of the investment will not occur.

 

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. Accumulated other comprehensive loss

Accumulated other comprehensive loss is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments; the effective portion of the gain (loss) on the Company’s cross-currency swap, which is designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge; the unrealized gain (loss) on warrants; and the unrealized loss on the Company’s debt securities. The components of and changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss were as follows:

7. Earnings per share

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, no adjustments were made to net income (loss) for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) available to common shareholders. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in the basic and diluted net loss per common share computations.

 

Options to purchase shares of common stock with exercise prices in excess of the average market price of common shares and performance-based restricted stock awards deemed not probable to vest are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were 792,149 outstanding awards and options not included in the diluted earnings per share computation for the three months ended June 30, 2015, because their inclusion was antidilutive.

Due to the Company having a net loss from continuing operations position for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, there were 490,296 and 484,201 potentially dilutive shares excluded from the computation, respectively, as their effects would be antidilutive. Due to the Company having a net loss from continuing operations position for the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were 1,081,308 potentially dilutive shares excluded from the computation as their effects would be antidilutive.

 

 

8. Share-based compensation

All share-based compensation costs are measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and recognized as expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period. The Company recognized $1.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and $1.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

On June 30, 2014, the Company granted 99,600 performance-based restricted share awards to officers and certain employees. Vesting is based on achieving earnings targets in two consecutive rolling four quarter periods. As of June 30, 2016, no expense has been recognized for these contingent restricted share awards.

On June 30, 2015, the Company granted 68,750 performance-based restricted share awards to officers and on August 5, 2015, granted an additional 41,910 performance-based restricted share awards to other members of management.  Vesting is based on achieving earnings and return on invested capital targets as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 or 2018.  As of June 30, 2016, no expense has been recognized for these contingent restricted share awards.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there were 325,393 and 81,974 shares, respectively, of common stock issued related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises and the vesting of restricted stock awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there were 528,791 and 227,840 shares, respectively, of common stock issued related to stock purchase plan issuances, stock option exercises and the vesting of restricted stock awards.

 

 

9. Income taxes

For the second quarter, our effective tax rate on continuing operations was (141.5%), or $3.7 million, as compared to 30.4%, or $1.8 million, for the same period in the prior year. Excluding the impact of various discrete tax charges, the effective tax rate on continuing operations for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015 was (131.6%) and 29.6%, respectively. For the first six months of 2016, our effective tax rate on continuing operations was 126.3%, or $8.0 million, as compared to (298.7%), or $2.7 million, for the same period in the prior year. Excluding the impact of various discrete tax charges, the effective tax rate on continuing operations for the first six months of 2016 and 2015 was 119.6% and (256.6%), respectively.

The primary factor affecting the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, was charges related to US Government Resolutions, which is non-deductible for tax purposes, and the impact of which is fully recognized in the second quarter.  Other factors affecting the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, and June 30, 2015, were the Company’s mix of earnings among various tax jurisdictions, state taxes, and current period losses in certain jurisdictions for which the Company does not currently provide a tax benefit.

During the third quarter of 2015, the Internal Revenue Service commenced an examination of our federal income tax return for 2012. The Company cannot reasonably determine if this examination will have a material impact on our financial statements and cannot predict the timing regarding resolution of this tax examination.

 

 

10. Business segment information

The Company has four strategic business units (“SBUs”), which are comprised of BioStim, Biologics, Extremity Fixation, and Spine Fixation supported by corporate activities. The primary metric used in managing the Company is net margin, which is defined as gross profit less sales and marketing expense. The Company neither discretely allocates assets, other than goodwill, to its operating segments nor evaluates the operating segments using discrete asset information.  

The tables below present net sales for continuing operations by SBU reporting segment. Net sales include product sales and marketing service fees. Marketing service fees, which are recorded on a net basis, are comprised of fees earned for the marketing of Trinity Evolution^®, Trinity ELITE^® and Versashield™ in our Biologics segment.

 

 

 

The table below presents net margin, which is defined as gross profit less sales and marketing expense, by SBU reporting segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:
