CONMED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, in thousands except per share amounts)
Note 1 – Operations
CONMED Corporation (“CONMED”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a medical technology company that provides surgical devices and equipment for minimally invasive procedures. The Company’s products are used by surgeons and other healthcare professionals in a variety of specialties including orthopedics, general surgery, gynecology, thoracic surgery and gastroenterology.
Note 2 - Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. The information herein reflects all normal recurring material adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the results for the periods presented. The consolidated condensed financial statements herein consist of all wholly-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. Results for the period ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.
The consolidated condensed financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. We are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to our estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of May 5, 2022, the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Note 3 – New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity ("ASU 2020-06"), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models requiring separate accounting for embedded conversion features which will result in more convertible debt instruments accounted for as a single liability. The ASU eliminates certain settlement conditions that are required for equity classification to qualify for the derivative scope exception. The ASU addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the calculation of diluted earnings per share by using the if-converted method. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this new guidance resulted in an increase of approximately $22.6 million to long-term debt in the consolidated condensed balance sheets, to reflect the full principal amount of the convertible notes outstanding net of issuance costs, a reduction of approximately $37.9 million to additional paid-in capital, net of income tax effects, to remove the equity component separately recorded for the conversion features associated with the convertible notes, a decrease to deferred income tax liabilities of approximately $5.5 million, and a cumulative-effect adjustment of approximately $20.8 million, net of income tax effects, to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of this new guidance reduced interest expense related to amortization of debt discount by approximately $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and is expected to reduce interest expense by approximately $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Additionally, the dilutive share count increased by approximately 2.5 million shares as a result of calculating the impact of dilution from the Company's convertible notes using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS increased by approximately $0.07 in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 as a result of adoption of this new standard.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance if certain criteria are met for entities that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. This ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has not adopted this ASU as of March 31, 2022. Our seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement includes language to address the change from LIBOR to an alternative base rate, therefore we do not believe reference rate reform will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements, however will continue to monitor our transition away from LIBOR and the potential to elect to apply this guidance in our consolidated financial statements in the event that we are impacted by reference rate reform.

Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only. We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. We use forward contracts, a type of derivative instrument, to manage certain foreign currency exposures.
By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. We enter into forward contracts with major investment grade financial institutions and have policies to monitor the credit risk of those counterparties. While there can be no assurance, we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of these counterparties.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts. We hedge forecasted intercompany sales denominated in foreign currencies through the use of forward contracts. We account for these forward contracts as cash flow hedges. To the extent these forward contracts meet hedge accounting criteria, changes in their fair value are not included in current earnings but are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. These changes in fair value will be recognized into earnings as a component of sales or cost of sales when the forecasted transaction occurs.
We also enter into forward contracts to exchange foreign currencies for United States dollars in order to hedge our currency transaction exposures on intercompany receivables designated in foreign currencies. These forward contracts settle each month at month-end, at which time we enter into new forward contracts. We have not designated these forward contracts as hedges and have not applied hedge accounting to them.
The following table presents the notional contract amounts for forward contracts outstanding:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | As of |
| FASB ASC Topic 815 Designation | | March 31, 2022 | | December 31, 2021 |

Forward exchange contracts | Non-designated | | 57,255 | | | 38,897 | |
The remaining time to maturity as of March 31, 2022 is within two years for hedge designated foreign exchange contracts and approximately one month for non-hedge designated forward exchange contracts.

Fair Value Disclosure. FASB guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and related disclosure requirements. This guidance applies when fair value measurements are required or permitted. The guidance indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value is defined based upon an exit price model.
Valuation Hierarchy. A valuation hierarchy was established for disclosure of the inputs to the valuations used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There have been no significant changes in the assumptions.
Valuation Techniques. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 consist of forward foreign exchange contracts. The Company values its forward foreign exchange contracts using quoted prices for similar assets. The most significant assumption is quoted currency rates. The value of the forward foreign exchange contract assets and liabilities were valued using Level 2 inputs and are listed in the table above.
The carrying amounts reported in our consolidated condensed balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and variable long-term debt approximate fair value.

Note 8 – Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share (“diluted EPS”) gives effect to all dilutive potential shares outstanding resulting from employee stock compensation as well as the 2.625% convertible notes due in 2024 (the “Notes”) and related hedge transactions during the period.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 | | |

| | | | | | | | | |
EPS | $ | 0.34 | | | | | $ | 0.31 | | | | | |
The shares used in the calculation of diluted EPS exclude employee stock options and stock appreciation rights to purchase shares where the exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares for the period and the effect of the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The Notes are convertible under certain circumstances, as defined in the indenture, into a combination of cash and CONMED common stock. The following is intended to describe the impact of the Notes and related hedge transactions on the calculation of diluted EPS. Additional shares to be issued pursuant to the terms of the Notes and related hedge transactions, if any, would occur at maturity.
Effective with our adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 (refer to Note 3 for further detail), the Company began using the if-converted method to compute diluted EPS. Under the if-converted method, in the calculation of diluted EPS, the numerator is adjusted for interest expense applicable to the convertible notes (net of tax) and the denominator is adjusted to include additional common shares assuming the principal portion of the Notes and the conversion premium are settled in common shares.
For periods prior to adoption of ASU 2020-06, the calculation of diluted EPS includes potential diluted shares upon conversion of the Notes only when the average market price per share of our common stock for the period is greater than the conversion price of the Notes of $88.80 and only for the conversion premium with the principal portion of the Notes assumed to be settled in cash.
We previously entered into convertible notes hedge transactions to increase the effective conversion price of the Notes from $88.80 to $114.92. However, our convertible notes hedges are not included when calculating potential dilutive shares since their effect is always anti-dilutive. Concurrent with entering into the hedge transactions, we entered into warrant transactions under which we agreed to sell shares of our common stock at $114.92. The calculation of diluted EPS includes potential diluted shares to be issued under the warrants when the average market price per share of our common stock for the period is greater than $114.92, calculated under the treasury stock method.
Note 9 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are as follows:

Customer and distributor relationships, trademarks and tradenames, developed technology and patents and other intangible assets primarily represent allocations of purchase price to identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Sales representation, marketing and promotional rights represent intangible assets created under our agreement with Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (“MTF”).
Amortization expense related to intangible assets which are subject to amortization totaled $8.0 million and $8.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and is included as a reduction of revenue (for amortization related to our sales representation, marketing and promotional rights) and in selling and administrative expense (for all other intangible assets) in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income.
The estimated intangible asset amortization expense remaining for the year ending December 31, 2022 and for each of the five succeeding years is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Total long-term debt | $ | 703,542 | | | $ | 672,407 | |
On July 16, 2021, we entered into a seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement consisting of: (a) a $233.5 million term loan facility and (b) a $585.0 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility will terminate and the loans outstanding under the term loan facility will expire on July 16, 2026. The term loan is payable in quarterly installments increasing over the term of the facility. Proceeds from the term loan facility and borrowings under the revolving credit facility were used to repay the then existing senior credit agreement. Interest rates are at LIBOR (0.50% at March 31, 2022) plus an interest rate margin of 1.25% (1.750% at March 31, 2022). For borrowings where we elect to use the alternate base rate, the initial base rate is the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or (iii) the one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, an interest rate margin.
There were $224.6 million in borrowings outstanding on the term loan facility as of March 31, 2022. There were $151.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2022. Our available borrowings on the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2022 were $431.8 million with approximately $2.2 million of the facility set aside for outstanding letters of credit.
The seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement is collateralized by substantially all of our personal property and assets. The seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement contains covenants and restrictions which, among other things, require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrict dividend payments and the incurrence of certain indebtedness and other activities, including acquisitions and dispositions. We were in full compliance with these covenants and restrictions as of March 31, 2022. We are also required, under certain circumstances, to make mandatory prepayments from net cash proceeds from any issuance of equity and asset sales.
On January 29, 2019, we issued $345.0 million in 2.625% convertible notes due in 2024 (the "Notes"). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2019. The Notes will mature on February 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased or converted. The Notes represent subordinated unsecured obligations and are convertible under certain circumstances, as defined in the indenture, into a combination of cash and CONMED common
stock. The Notes may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 11.2608 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $88.80 per share of common stock). Holders of the Notes may convert the Notes at their option at any time on or after November 1, 2023 through the second scheduled trading day preceding the maturity date. Holders of the Notes will also have the right to convert the Notes prior to November 1, 2023, but only upon the occurrence of specified events. The conversion rate is subject to anti-dilution adjustments if certain events occur. A portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes were used as part of the financing for the Buffalo Filter acquisition and $21.0 million were used to pay the cost of certain convertible notes hedge transactions as further described below.
Our effective borrowing rate for nonconvertible debt at the time of issuance of the Notes was estimated to be 6.14%, which resulted in $51.6 million of the $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes issued, or $39.1 million after taxes, being attributable to equity. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded interest expense related to the amortization of debt discount on the Notes of $2.5 million at the effective interest rate of 6.14%. On January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach as further described in Note 3. This ASU eliminated the equity component separately recorded for the conversion features associated with the convertible notes and related debt discount. For both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we have recorded interest expense on the Notes of $2.3 million at the contractual coupon rate of 2.625%.
The estimated fair value of the Notes was approximately $596.9 million as of March 31, 2022 based on a market approach which represents a Level 2 valuation in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value was determined based on the estimated or actual bids and offers of the Notes in an over-the-counter market transaction on the last business day of the period.
In connection with the offering of the Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions with a number of financial institutions (each, an “option counterparty”). The convertible note hedge transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of shares of our common stock underlying the Notes. Concurrently with entering into the convertible note hedge transactions, we also entered into separate warrant transactions with each option counterparty whereby we sold to such option counterparty warrants to purchase, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the same number of shares of our common stock.
The convertible note hedge transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the convertible note hedge transactions, is greater than the strike price of the convertible note hedge transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the Notes. If, however, the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the warrant transactions, exceeds the strike price ($114.92) of the warrants, there would nevertheless be dilution to the extent that such market price exceeds the strike price of the warrants as noted in Note 8, unless we elect to settle the warrants in cash.
The scheduled maturities of long-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2022 are as follows:
| | | | | |
Remaining 2022 | $ | 8,944 | |
2023 | 14,906 | |
2024 | 365,869 | |
2025 | 23,850 | |
2026 | 307,018 | |
2027 | — | |
The above amounts exclude deferred debt issuance costs and financing leases.
Note 11 – Guarantees
We provide warranties on certain of our products at the time of sale and sell extended warranties. The standard warranty period for our capital equipment is generally one year and our extended warranties typically vary from one to three years. Liability under service and warranty policies is based upon a review of historical warranty and service claim experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and historical experience warrant.
Changes in the liability for standard warranties for the three months ended March 31, are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 we recorded a charge of $0.4 million related to the restructuring of our sales force which consisted primarily of termination payments to Orthopedic distributors made in exchange for ongoing assistance to transition to employee-based sales representatives and severance. These costs were charged to selling and administrative expense.
Note 14 — Business Segment
We are accounting and reporting for our business as a single operating segment entity engaged in the development, manufacturing and sale on a global basis of surgical devices and related equipment. Our chief operating decision maker (the CEO) evaluates the various global product portfolios on a net sales basis and evaluates profitability, investment, cash flow metrics and allocates resources on a consolidated worldwide basis due to shared infrastructure and resources. Our product lines consist of orthopedic surgery and general surgery. Orthopedic surgery consists of sports medicine instrumentation and small bone, large bone and specialty powered surgical instruments as well as imaging systems for use in minimally invasive surgery procedures and fees related to the sales representation, promotion and marketing of sports medicine allograft tissue. General surgery consists of a complete line of endo-mechanical instrumentation for minimally invasive laparoscopic and gastrointestinal procedures, smoke evacuation devices, a line of cardiac monitoring products as well as electrosurgical generators and related instruments. These product lines' net sales are as follows:

Note 15 – Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may receive an information request, subpoena or warrant from a government agency such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, Department of Justice, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the United States Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Labor, the Treasury Department or other federal and state agencies or foreign governments or government agencies. These information requests, subpoenas or warrants may or may not be routine inquiries, or may begin as routine inquiries and over time develop into enforcement actions of various types. Likewise, if we receive reports of alleged misconduct from employees and third parties, we investigate as appropriate.
Manufacturers of medical devices have been the subject of various enforcement actions relating to interactions with health care providers domestically or internationally whereby companies are claimed to have provided health care providers with inappropriate incentives to purchase their products. Similarly, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") imposes obligations on manufacturers with respect to interactions with health care providers who may be considered government officials based on their affiliation with public hospitals. The FCPA also requires publicly listed manufacturers to maintain accurate books and records, and maintain internal accounting controls sufficient to provide assurance that transactions are accurately recorded, lawful and in accordance with management's authorization. The FCPA poses unique challenges both because manufacturers operate in foreign cultures in which conduct illegal under the FCPA may not be illegal in local jurisdictions, and because, in some cases, a United States manufacturer may face risks under the FCPA based on the conduct of third parties over whom the manufacturer may not have complete control. While CONMED has not experienced any material enforcement action to date, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to a material enforcement action in the future, or that the Company will not incur costs including, in the form of fees for lawyers and other consultants, that are material to the Company’s results of operations in the course of responding to a future inquiry or investigation.
Manufacturers of medical products may face exposure to significant product liability claims, as well as patent infringement and other claims incurred in the ordinary course of business. To date, we have not experienced any claims that have been material to our financial statements or financial condition, but any such claims arising in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash flows. We currently maintain commercial product liability insurance of $35 million per incident and $35 million in the aggregate annually, which we believe is adequate. This coverage is on a claims-made basis. There can be no assurance that claims will not exceed insurance coverage, that the carriers will be solvent or that such insurance will be available to us in the future at a reasonable cost.
Our operations are subject, and in the past have been subject, to a number of environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, air emissions; wastewater discharges; the use, handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes; soil and groundwater remediation and employee health and safety. Likewise, the operations of our suppliers and sterilizers are subject to similar environmental laws and regulations. In some jurisdictions, environmental requirements may be
expected to become more stringent in the future. In the United States, certain environmental laws can impose liability for the entire cost of site restoration upon each of the parties that may have contributed to conditions at the site regardless of fault or the lawfulness of the party’s activities. While we do not believe that the present costs of environmental compliance and remediation are material, there can be no assurance that future compliance or remedial obligations would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In 2014, the Company acquired EndoDynamix, Inc. The agreement governing the terms of the acquisition provides that, if various conditions are met, certain contingent payments relating to the first commercial sale of the products (the milestone payment), as well as royalties based on sales (the revenue based payments), are due to the seller. In 2016, we notified the seller that there was a need to redesign the product, and that, as a consequence, the first commercial sale had been delayed. Consequently, the payment of contingent milestone and revenue-based payments were delayed. On January 18, 2017, the seller provided notice (the "Notice") seeking $12.7 million under a liquidated damages clause, which essentially represents the seller's view as to the sum of the projected contingent milestone and revenue-based payments on an accelerated basis. CONMED responded to the Notice denying that there was any basis for acceleration of the payments due under the acquisition agreement. On February 22, 2017, the representative of the former shareholders of EndoDynamix filed a complaint in Delaware Chancery Court claiming breach of contract with respect to the duty to commercialize the product and seeking the contingent payments on an accelerated basis. We believe that there was a substantive contractual basis to support the Company's decision to redesign the product, such that there was no legitimate basis for seeking the liquidated damages. In the third quarter of 2018, the Company decided to halt the development of the EndoDynamix clip applier and recorded a charge to write off assets and released a previously accrued contingent consideration liability. In court filings the Plaintiffs claim to seek liquidated damages, as well as additional damages up to $24.8 million. A non-jury trial in the Delaware Chancery Court commenced on March 18, 2021, and testimony concluded on April 7, 2021. The parties have submitted post-trial briefs and the Court heard oral arguments at a hearing on September 16, 2021 and requested additional briefs which were filed in March 2022. The Court has not issued a ruling. The Company has not recorded any expense related to potential damages in connection with this matter because the Company does not believe any potential loss is probable. We expect to defend the claims asserted by the sellers of EndoDynamix, although there can be no assurance that we will prevail in the trial and/or any resulting appeals.
CONMED is defending two Georgia State Court actions. The first action was filed in Cobb County by various employees, former employees, contract workers and others against CONMED and against a contract sterilizer (the "Cobb County Action"). The second action was filed in Douglas County against CONMED’s landlord and other allegedly related entities (the "Douglas County Action"). Plaintiffs in the lawsuits allege personal injury and related claims purportedly arising from or relating to exposure to Ethylene Oxide, a chemical used to sterilize certain products. CONMED is defending the claims asserted directly against it and is providing indemnification for certain other defendants for these claims based on contractual provisions.
Both actions are in their early stages and discovery has not yet started. The Company's motion to dismiss in the Cobb County action was heard on January 10, 2022. CONMED believes it has strong defenses to the claims and will vigorously defend itself and all parties it is indemnifying. As with any litigation, there are risks, including the risk that CONMED may not prevail with respect to the defense of the underlying claims, or with respect to securing adequate insurance coverage for the indemnification claims. The Company is unable to estimate any range of possible loss at this time, and has not recorded any expense related to potential damages in connection with this matter because the Company does not believe any potential loss is probable.
CONMED has submitted the foregoing claims for insurance coverage. One insurer is providing coverage for certain of the claims asserted directly against the Company. CONMED is currently litigating two lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York with Federal Insurance Company (“Chubb”): one involving CONMED’s claim for coverage for the indemnification claims arising from the Cobb County Action, and the other concerning CONMED’s claim for coverage for the indemnification claims arising from the Douglas County Action. On March 10, 2022, the Court ruled in favor of CONMED with respect to coverage for the indemnification claims arising from the Cobb County Action . Chubb has filed a motion for reconsideration, and may also appeal. CONMED believes its position is well-grounded in the facts and the law, and expects a similar ruling in the coverage case concerning the Douglas County Action, but there can be no assurance that CONMED will prevail in either of the two coverage cases.
In addition, one of CONMED’s contract sterilizers, which is defending toxic tort claims asserted by various residents in the areas around its processing facility, has placed CONMED on notice of a claim for indemnification relating to some of those claims. CONMED is reviewing the notice, and has not at this time taken any position on the notice.
From time to time, we are also subject to negligence and other claims arising out of the ordinary conduct of our business, including, for example, accidents our employees may experience within the course of their employment or otherwise.
We are currently defending one such claim, which we expect to be fully covered by insurance, involving potentially significant personal injuries. The Company is unable to estimate any range of possible loss at this time, and therefore has not recorded any liability related to potential damages in connection with this matter.
We record reserves sufficient to cover probable and estimable losses associated with any such pending claims. We do not expect that the resolution of any pending claims, investigations or reports of alleged misconduct will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that future claims or investigations, or the costs associated with responding to such claims, investigations or reports of misconduct, especially claims and investigations not covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 16 – Subsequent Events
On May 4, 2022, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among CONMED, Odyssey Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of CONMED (“Merger Sub”), In2Bones Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“In2Bones”), and Sheryl Moroschak, solely in her capacity as representative of In2Bones’ equity holders (the “Holder Representative”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CONMED will acquire In2Bones by way of a merger of Merger Sub with and into In2Bones (the “Merger”), with In2Bones surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CONMED.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”), CONMED will pay In2Bones’ equity holders an aggregate upfront payment of $145 million in cash, as adjusted and payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Closing Purchase Price”). The adjustments to the Closing Purchase Price include, among others, (i) an upward adjustment for any cash held by In2Bones at the Closing, (ii) a downward adjustment for In2Bones’ outstanding indebtedness, transaction expenses and other related fees and expenses and (iii) an upward or downward adjustment, as applicable, networking adjustment based on a target range. The Merger Agreement also provides for earn-out payments to In2Bones’ equity holders in an amount up to $110 million based on the achievement of certain revenue targets for In2Bones products during the sixteen (16) successive quarters commencing on the first day of the first full quarter following the Closing date.

Overview
CONMED Corporation (“CONMED”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a medical technology company that provides devices and equipment for surgical procedures. The Company’s products are used by surgeons and other healthcare professionals in a variety of specialties including orthopedics, general surgery, gynecology, thoracic surgery and gastroenterology.
Our product lines consist of orthopedic surgery and general surgery. Orthopedic surgery consists of sports medicine instrumentation and small bone, large bone and specialty powered surgical instruments as well as, imaging systems for use in minimally invasive surgery procedures and service fees related to the promotion and marketing of sports medicine allograft tissue. General surgery consists of a complete line of endo-mechanical instrumentation for minimally invasive laparoscopic and gastrointestinal procedures, smoke evacuation devices, a line of cardiac monitoring products as well as electrosurgical generators and related instruments. These product lines as a percentage of consolidated net sales are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| 2022 | | 2021 | | | | |
Orthopedic surgery | 44 | % | | 46 | % | | | | |
General surgery | 56 | % | | 54 | % | | | | |
Consolidated net sales | 100 | % | | 100 | % | | | | |
A significant amount of our products are used in surgical procedures with approximately 83% of our revenues derived from the sale of single-use products. Our capital equipment offerings also facilitate the ongoing sale of related single-use products and accessories, thus providing us with a recurring revenue stream. We manufacture substantially all of our products in facilities located in the United States and Mexico. We market our products both domestically and internationally directly to customers and through distributors. International sales approximated 46% and 47% of our consolidated net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Business Environment
Our business continues to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as variants of the virus, such as omicron, emerge and hospitals and surgery centers reduce the number of, or postpone, non-urgent surgical procedures in order to minimize the risk of infection and allow for proper staffing. We continue to restrict access to our facilities while maintaining production and distribution. We believe we will continue to experience market variability as a result of the pandemic that could influence sales, suppliers, patients and customers. There remains significant uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the duration and severity of future impacts to the business and we continue to see our customers and suppliers impacted in a variety of ways such as staffing shortages in the U.S. and stay at home orders in China. The Company is also being impacted by the macro-economic environment and we are experiencing higher manufacturing and operating costs caused by inflationary pressures and ongoing supply chain challenges. We continuously work with suppliers to mitigate these impacts; however, we expect these challenges to continue throughout 2022. This will likely impact our results of operations.
During the first quarter of 2022, the world experienced, and continues to experience, the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Company has no direct operations in either Russia or Ukraine and our business is limited to selling to third party distributors. Total revenues associated with sales to third party distributors in these countries are not material to the consolidated financial results, and we have fully reserved the outstanding accounts receivable from distributors in these territories ($0.6 million as of March 31, 2022). We will continue to monitor and adjust our business strategy in this region as necessary. While the direct impact on the Company of Russia's invasion of Ukraine is limited, we are being affected by increases in the price of oil as a result of sanctions on Russia, which contributes to overall inflation and increased costs.
Critical Accounting Policies
Preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2021 describes the significant accounting policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the critical accounting policies used to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, those related to goodwill and intangible assets and our pension benefit obligation.

Net sales increased 4.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period a year ago primarily driven by increases in our general surgery product line. General surgery sales increased 7.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily driven by the continued growth in our AirSeal and advanced endoscopic technologies products. Orthopedic surgery sales increased 0.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily related to an increase in single-use product sales. Our sales continued to be impacted by COVID-19 in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as the omicron variant emerged, and we saw our customers affected in a variety of ways such as staffing shortages in the U.S. and stay at home orders in China.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased to $106.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $104.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Gross profit margins increased 90 basis points to 56.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 55.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in gross profit margin of 90 basis points in the three months ended March 31, 2022 was driven by an increase in sales and improved product mix. We experienced unfavorable production variances of $10.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as a result of cost increases and inflation in raw materials, freight and other costs of production which we have deferred to inventory and expect to
recognize as cost of sales as the underlying inventory is sold. These unfavorable production variances will cause gross margins to decrease in the periods in which they are recognized.
Selling and Administrative Expense
Selling and administrative expense increased to $102.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $98.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales increased to 42.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 42.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The increase in selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was caused by increased marketing expenses driven by a return to travel and trade show attendance as well as salesforce expansions that occurred in the later part of 2021. These increases were partially offset by the three months ended March 31, 2021 including $0.4 million in costs associated with the restructuring of our Orthopedic sales force which did not reoccur in 2022.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense increased to $10.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $10.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expense increased 10 basis points to 4.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 4.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The higher spend as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was driven by timing of projects.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased to $5.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $10.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The weighted average interest rates on our borrowings decreased to 2.22% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 3.37% in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to decreases in our borrowings; decreases in our weighted average interest rates compared to the same periods a year ago as a result of the seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement; and the three months ended March 31, 2021 including $2.5 million in interest expense related to the amortization of debt discount that is no longer applicable in 2022 as a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, as further described in Note 3.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax expense has been recorded at an effective tax rate of 14.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to an income tax benefit at an effective tax rate of (1.3)% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The higher effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily the result of higher income in 2022 and discrete tax items. Federal tax deductions related to stock option exercises provided a discrete tax benefit which decreased the effective rate by 9.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to discrete income tax benefit associated with stock options and federal tax benefit related to the issuance of tax regulations regarding US tax of foreign earnings at different rates which decreased the effective tax rate by 28.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. A reconciliation of the United States statutory income tax rate to our effective tax rate is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, under Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Net sales on a "constant currency" basis is a non-GAAP measure. The Company analyzes net sales on a constant currency basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. To measure percentage sales growth in constant currency, the Company removes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates that affect the comparability and trend of net sales.
Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare this financial measure with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. This adjusted financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported net sales growth, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is an additional way of viewing net sales that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of our business. The Company strongly encourages investors and shareholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity needs arise primarily from capital investments, working capital requirements and payments on indebtedness under the seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement. We have historically met these liquidity requirements with funds generated from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In addition, we have historically used term borrowings, including borrowings under the seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement and borrowings under separate loan facilities, in the case of real property purchases, to finance our acquisitions. We also have the ability to raise funds through the sale of stock or we may issue debt through a private placement or public offering.
Operating cash flows
Our net working capital position was $300.7 million at March 31, 2022. Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.3 million and $22.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, generated on net income of $15.0 million and $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in 2022 as compared to 2021 was mainly driven by:
•A decrease in cash flows from accounts receivable based on the timing of sales and cash receipts;
•A decrease in cash flows from inventory as we increased inventory levels to mitigate supply chain challenges; and
•A decrease in cash flows from higher incentive compensation payments.
These decreases were offset by higher net income in 2022 compared to 2021.
Investing cash flows
Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $0.6 million from the same period a year ago primarily due to capital expenditures being higher at $3.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $3.1 million in the same period a year ago.
Financing cash flows
Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $7.5 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $8.9 million during 2021. Below is a summary of the significant financing activities impacting the change during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021:
•We had net borrowings on our revolving line of credit of $11.0 million, compared to $8.0 million in net payments during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
•We had net payments on our term loan of $3.0 million compared to $3.3 million in payments during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
•We paid $0.8 million in contingent consideration related to a prior acquisition.
•We had net cash proceeds of $8.0 million related to stock issued under employee plans for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $9.7 million in the same period a year ago.
Other Liquidity Matters
Our cash balances and cash flows generated from operations may be used to fund strategic investments, business acquisitions, working capital needs, research and development, common stock repurchases and payments of dividends to our shareholders. Management believes that cash flow from operations, including cash and cash equivalents on hand and available borrowing capacity under our seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement, will be adequate to meet our anticipated operating working capital requirements, debt service, funding of capital expenditures, dividend payments and common stock repurchases in the foreseeable future. In addition, management believes we could access capital markets, as necessary, to fund future business acquisitions.
As noted above, there remains significant uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the duration and severity of future impacts to the business and we continue to see our customers and suppliers impacted by staffing shortages as well as stay at home orders in China. The Company is also being impacted by the macro-economic environment and we are experiencing higher manufacturing and operating costs caused by inflationary pressures and ongoing supply chain challenges. We continue to monitor our spending and expenses in light of these factors. However, we may need to take further steps to reduce our costs, or to refinance our debt. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended
December 31, 2021, for further discussion.
There were $224.6 million in borrowings outstanding on the term loan facility as of March 31, 2022. There were $151.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2022. Our available borrowings on the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2022 were $431.8 million with approximately $2.2 million of the facility set aside for outstanding letters of credit.
The seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement is collateralized by substantially all of our personal property and assets. The seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement contains covenants and restrictions which, among other things, require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrict dividend payments and the incurrence of certain indebtedness and other activities, including acquisitions and dispositions. We were in full compliance with these covenants and restrictions as of March 31, 2022. We are also required, under certain circumstances, to make mandatory prepayments from net cash proceeds from any issuance of equity and asset sales.
See Note 10 for further information on our financing agreements and outside debt obligations.
Our Board of Directors has authorized a $200.0 million share repurchase program. Through March 31, 2022, we have repurchased a total of 6.1 million shares of common stock aggregating $162.6 million under this authorization and have $37.4 million remaining available for share repurchases. The repurchase program calls for shares to be purchased in the open market or in private transactions from time to time. We may suspend or discontinue the share repurchase program at any time. We have not purchased any shares of common stock under the share repurchase program during 2022. We have financed the repurchases and may finance additional repurchases through operating cash flow and from available borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
New accounting pronouncements
See Note 3 to the consolidated condensed financial statements for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no significant changes in our primary market risk exposures or in how these exposures are managed during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Reference is made to Item 7A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a description of Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by CONMED Corporation’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
