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 nine months ended September 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 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, 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.

3. Other current liabilities

In December 2016, the Company approved and initiated a planned restructuring, which primarily affects the Extremity Fixation SBU (the “Extremity Fixation restructuring plan”), to streamline costs, improve operational performance, and wind down a non-core business. The Extremity Fixation 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 $3.1 million in connection with this restructuring activity and has incurred cumulative costs to date of $2.4 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred costs of

approximately $0.5 million and made additional payments of $1.6 million, resulting in an ending accrual of $0.4 million as of September 30, 2017.

In September 2017, the Company approved and executed an additional restructuring plan, which primarily affects the entity’s corporate shared services in the U.S. (the “U.S. restructuring plan”), to streamline costs and to improve operational performance. The U.S. restructuring plan consists primarily of severance charges. The Company estimates total pre-tax expense of approximately $1.8 million in connection with this restructuring activity, all of which was incurred during the third quarter of 2017, and recorded within operating expenses. No payments were made as of September 30, 2017; therefore, $1.8 million is accrued within other current liabilities at September 30, 2017.

 

 

4. Long-term debt

As of September 30, 2017, the Company has not made any borrowings under the five year $125 million secured revolving credit facility it entered into in August 2015 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and certain lenders. The Company has also not made any borrowings on its €5.8 million ($6.9 million) available line of credit in Italy at September 30, 2017.  The Company is in compliance with all required financial covenants as of September 30, 2017.

 

 

5. Fair value measurements

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

 

 

The Company holds a debt security of eNeura, Inc., a privately held medical technology company that is developing devices for the treatment of migraines. The debt security is further described in Note 6 to the financial statements contained within our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. 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 September 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 and second quarters of 2017. This compares to an amortized cost basis in the debt security of $18.4 million.

The Company evaluated the decline in fair value of the debt security, which was 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.

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 were filed, 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 September 30, 2017, the Company has an accrual of $1.8 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.

 

Expiration of Corporate Integrity Agreement with HHS-OIG

In May 2012, the Company entered into a five-year corporate integrity agreement (the “CIA”) with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS-OIG”), in connection with a U.S. government settlement. In October 2017, the Company received a letter from HHS-OIG confirming that the Company has satisfied its CIA requirements and that the CIA has expired.
