Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business and Operations
Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. (“we,” “us,” and “our”) manufactures and distributes medical devices for the treatment of patients with underserved chronic diseases at home. We provide our Flexitouch® and Entre™ systems, which help control symptoms of lymphedema, a chronic progressive medical condition, through our direct sales force for use in the home and sell or rent them through vascular, wound and lymphedema clinics throughout the United States.
On September 8, 2021, we acquired the assets of the AffloVest airway clearance business (“AffloVest Acquisition”) from International Biophysics Corporation (“IBC”), a privately-held company which developed and manufactured AffloVest. AffloVest is a portable, wearable vest that treats patients with chronic respiratory conditions. We sell this device through home medical equipment and durable medical equipment (“DME”) providers throughout the United States.
We were originally incorporated in Minnesota under the name Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. on January 30, 1995. During 2006, we established a merger corporation and subsequently, on July 21, 2006, merged with and into this merger corporation, resulting in our reincorporation as a Delaware corporation. The resulting corporation assumed the name Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. In September 2013, we began doing business as “Tactile Medical”.
On August 2, 2016, we closed the initial public offering of our common stock, which resulted in the sale of 4,120,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $10.00 per share. We received net proceeds from the initial public offering of approximately $35.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and approximately $2.9 million of transaction expenses.
On February 27, 2023, we closed on a public offering of 2,875,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $13.00 per share. We received net proceeds from this offering of $34.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses.
Our business is affected by seasonality. In the first quarter of each year, when most patients have started a new insurance year and have not yet met their annual out-of-pocket payment obligations, we experience substantially reduced demand for our products. We typically experience higher revenue in the third and fourth quarters of the year when patients have met their annual insurance deductibles, thereby reducing their out-of-pocket costs for our products, and because patients desire to exhaust their flexible spending accounts at year end. This seasonality applies only to purchases and rentals of our products by patients covered by commercial insurance and is not relevant to Medicare, Medicaid or the Veterans Administration, as those payers either do not have plans that have declining deductibles over the course of the plan year and/or do not have plans that include patient deductibles for purchases or rentals of our products.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those which are normal and recurring) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included.
The results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or for any other interim period or for any future year. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Swelling Solutions, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Risks and Uncertainties
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The United States economy in general and our business specifically have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have seen adverse impacts as it relates to the decline in the number of patients that healthcare facilities and clinics are able to treat due to enhanced safety protocols, particularly during most of 2021 and during the first quarter of 2022. We have also seen staffing challenges, both in our organization and at the clinics we serve, as another lingering consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we saw some level of recovery in 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, ongoing consequences of the pandemic remain uncertain. There are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last, whether any recovery will be sustained or will reverse course, the severity of any resurgence of COVID-19 or variant strains of the virus, the effectiveness of vaccines and attitudes towards receiving them, or what ultimate effects the pandemic will have. For that reason, we are unable to reasonably estimate the long-term impact of the pandemic on our business at this time.
Since the onset of COVID-19, we have remained proactive to ensure we continue to adapt to the needs of our employees, clinicians and patients. We cannot assure you these changes to our processes and practices will be successful in mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on our business. We continue to evaluate and, if appropriate, will adopt other measures in the future related to the ongoing safety of our employees, clinicians and patients.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Policies
There were no material changes in our significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2023. See Note 3 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for information regarding our significant accounting policies.
Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted
In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effect of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2022-06”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to transactions affected by reference rate (e.g., LIBOR) reform if certain criteria are met, for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The ASU deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The ASU is effective as of December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2024. We continue
9
to evaluate transactions or contract modifications occurring as a result of reference rate reform and determine whether to apply the optional guidance on an ongoing basis. We have not elected any expedients to date and are currently evaluating any potential future impacts on the consolidated financial statements.
Note 4. Acquisitions
On September 8, 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“AffloVest APA”) to acquire the AffloVest airway clearance business from IBC. Under the terms of the AffloVest APA, we agreed to pay IBC a total of up to $100.0 million for the purchase of substantially all of the assets related to its branded high frequency chest wall oscillation vest therapy business, other than specifically identified excluded assets. We acquired AffloVest to further expand our position as a leader in treating patients with underserved chronic conditions in the home. The acquired assets included inventory, tooling, intellectual property, permits and approvals, data and records, and customer and supplier information. At closing, $80.0 million of the purchase price was paid, of which a total of $0.5 million was deposited into an escrow account at closing for purposes of satisfying certain post-closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification claims. Subsequent to closing, $0.2 million was returned to us as a result of working capital adjustments and the remaining $0.3 million was released to IBC. The AffloVest Acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from borrowings.
On November 4, 2022, we entered into an Amendment to the AffloVest APA (the “APA Amendment”) with IBC, which modifies the terms of the earn-out arrangement under the AffloVest APA, as follows:
The fair value of the earn-out as of the acquisition date was $6.4 million. The fair value of the earn-out, reflecting management’s estimate of the likelihood of achieving these targets, was determined by employing a Monte Carlo Simulation model. This amount and the current versus non-current allocation is remeasured at the end of each reporting period until the payment requirement ends, with any adjustments reported in income from operations (see Note 15 – “Fair Value Measurements”).
Note 5. Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following:
At March 31, 2023

Note 6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we completed the AffloVest Acquisition. The purchase price of the AffloVest product line exceeded the net acquisition-date estimated fair value amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by $31.1 million, which was assigned to goodwill.

In the third quarter of 2022, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test utilizing both the qualitative and quantitative approach described in FASB ASU No. 2021-03, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Accounting Alternative for Evaluating Triggering Events.” Based on the testing using the qualitative approach, it was determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than the carrying value. As a result, it was not deemed necessary to proceed to the quantitative test and no impairment was recognized.

Note 9. Credit Agreement
On April 30, 2021, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent. The Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated in its entirety our prior credit agreement.
On September 8, 2021, we entered into a First Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amended the Restated Credit Agreement (as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Amendment, among other things, added a $30.0 million incremental term loan to the $25.0 million revolving credit facility provided by the Restated Credit Agreement. The term loan is reflected on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a note payable. The term loan and the revolving credit facility mature on September 8, 2024. The Credit Agreement provides that, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, we may increase the amount of the revolving loans available under the Credit Agreement and/or add one or more term loan facilities in an amount not to exceed $25.0 million in the
aggregate, such that the total aggregate principal amount of loans available under the Credit Agreement (including under the revolving credit facility) does not exceed $80.0 million.
On September 8, 2021, in connection with the closing of the AffloVest Acquisition, we borrowed the $30.0 million term loan and utilized that borrowing, together with a draw of $25.0 million under the revolving credit facility and cash on hand, to fund the purchase price.
On February 22, 2022, we entered into a Second Amendment Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which further amended the Credit Agreement.
The principal of the term loan is required to be repaid in quarterly installments of $750,000 commencing January 7, 2022, through July 8, 2024, with the remaining outstanding balance due on September 8, 2024. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, we made a mandatory principal prepayment of the term loan of $3.0 million on February 22, 2022.
As of March 31, 2023, we had outstanding borrowings of $48.3 million under the Credit Agreement, comprised of $23.3 million under the term loan and $25.0 million under the revolving credit facility.
The term loan and amounts drawn under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to (a) the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) LIBOR for an interest period of one month plus 1% (the “Base Rate”) plus an applicable margin or (b) LIBOR for an interest period of one, three or six months, at our option, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin is 0.75% to 2.25% on loans bearing interest at the Base Rate and 1.75% to 3.25% on loans bearing interest at LIBOR, in each case depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio; except that, pursuant to the Second Amendment, during the period commencing on February 22, 2022 and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023, the applicable margin for LIBOR rate loans is 3.50%. At March 31, 2023, all outstanding borrowings were subject to interest at a rate calculated at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, for an interest rate of 8.28%. Undrawn portions of the revolving credit facility are subject to an unused line fee at a rate per annum from 0.300% to 0.375%, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio.
Maturities of the term loan for the next two years as of March 31, 2023, are as follows:
2,250
21,000
23,250
Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and are also guaranteed by our subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains a number of restrictions and covenants, including that we maintain compliance with a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum consolidated EBITDA covenant. As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Obligations
We lease property and equipment under operating leases, typically with terms greater than 12 months, and determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. In general, an arrangement contains a lease if there is an identified asset and we have the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the identified asset. We record an operating lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term on the commencement date. The related right of use (“ROU”) operating lease asset reflects rental escalation clauses, as well as renewal options and/or termination options. The exercise of lease renewal and/or termination options are at our discretion and are included in the determination of the lease term and lease payment obligations when it is deemed reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however,
13
certain leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.
We classify our leases as buildings, vehicles or computer and office equipment and do not separate lease and nonlease components of contracts for any of the aforementioned classifications. In accordance with applicable guidance, we do not record leases with terms that are less than one year on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
None of our lease agreements contain material restrictive covenants or residual value guarantees.
Buildings
We lease certain office and warehouse space at various locations in the United States where we provide services. These leases are typically greater than one year with fixed, escalating rents over the noncancelable terms and, therefore, ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with rent expense to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The remaining lease terms vary from approximately one to eight years as of March 31, 2023.
We entered into a lease (“initial lease”) in October 2018, for approximately 80,000 square feet of office space for our new corporate headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In December 2018, we amended the initial lease to add approximately 29,000 square feet of additional office space, which is accounted for as a separate lease (“second lease”) in accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”). In December 2019, we further amended the lease which extended the expiration date of the initial lease, extended the expiration date of and added approximately 4,000 square feet to the second lease, as well as added approximately 37,000 square feet of additional office space, accounted for as a separate lease (“third lease”) in accordance with ASC 842. The portion of the space covered under the initial lease was placed in service in September 2019. This portion was recognized as an operating lease and included in the ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The portion of the space covered under the second lease commenced in September 2020. Finally, the portion of the space covered under the third lease commenced in September 2021.
Vehicles
We lease vehicles for certain members of our field sales organization under a vehicle fleet program whereby the initial, noncancelable lease is for a term of 367 days, thus more than one year. Subsequent to the initial term, the lease becomes a month-to-month, cancelable lease. In addition to monthly rental fees specific to the vehicle, there are fixed monthly nonlease components that have been included in the ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities. The nonlease components are not significant. As of March 31, 2023, we no longer have any vehicles with agreements within the initial, noncancelable lease term that are recorded as ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities.
Computer and Office Equipment
We also have operating lease agreements for certain computer and office equipment. The remaining lease terms as of March 31, 2023, ranged from less than one year to approximately three years with fixed monthly payments that are included in the ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities. The leases provide an option to purchase the related equipment at fair market value at the end of the lease. The leases will automatically renew as a month-to-month rental at the end of the lease if the equipment is not purchased or returned.

Purchase Commitments
We issued purchase orders prior to March 31, 2023, totaling $37.4 million for goods that we expect to receive within the next year.
15
Retirement Plan
We maintain a 401(k) retirement plan for our employees in which eligible employees can contribute a percentage of their pre-tax compensation. We recorded an expense related to our discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan of $0.4 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
From time to time, we are subject to various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
We and certain of our present or former officers have been sued in a purported securities class action lawsuit that was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on September 29, 2020, and that is pending under the caption Brian Mart v. Tactile Systems Technology, Inc., et al., File No. 0:20-cv-02074-NEB-BRT (the “Mart Lawsuit”). On April 19, 2021, the plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint against us and eight of our present and former officers and directors. Plaintiff seeks to represent a class consisting of investors who purchased our common stock in the market during the time period from May 7, 2018 through June 8, 2020 (“alleged class period”). The Amended Complaint alleges the following claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): (1) that we and certain officer defendants made materially false or misleading public statements about our business, operational and compliance policies, and results during the alleged class period in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act; (2) that we and the individual defendants engaged in a scheme to defraud investors in order to allow the individual defendants to sell our stock in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act; (3) that the individual defendants engaged in improper insider trading of our stock in violation of Section 20A of the Exchange Act; and (4) that we and the individual defendants are liable under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act because each defendant is a controlling person. On June 18, 2021, we and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. On March 31, 2022, the court granted in part, and denied in part, the defendants’ motion to dismiss. All claims against three individual defendants were dismissed, and most claims against four other individual defendants were dismissed. On November 21, 2022, the Company announced that it entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to settle this matter. The Company does not expect to fund any portion of cash payments made in connection with the $5 million settlement amount. The settlement does not constitute an admission of liability or wrongdoing by the Company. The settlement is subject to court approval. On February 28, 2023, the parties executed a stipulation of settlement and the plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the class settlement with the court. On April 26, 2023, the court issued a minute order indicating the motion would be approved and on May 4, 2023, issued the written order granting the motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. A hearing for final approval of the settlement will be held on August 23, 2023.
On May 24, 2022, a stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of our present and former officers and directors and the Company (as a nominal defendant), captioned Jack Weaver v. Moen, et al., File No. 0:22-cv-01403-NEB-BRT. This complaint generally arises out of the same subject matter as the Mart Lawsuit and alleges the following claims under the Exchange Act and common law: (1) that the director defendants made materially false or misleading public statements in proxy statements in violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; (2) that the director defendants’ stock and option awards should be rescinded under Section 29(b) of the Exchange Act; (3) that the officer defendants’ employment contract compensation should be rescinded under Section 29(b) of the Exchange Act; (4) that certain officer defendants are liable for contribution arising out of any liability incurred in the Mart Lawsuit, under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act; (5) that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties; and (6) that the individual defendants were unjustly enriched. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. In August 2022, the matter was transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by order granting the Parties Stipulation to Transfer. On February 10, 2023, we filed a motion to dismiss the action. The plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on March 3, 2023. On March 31, 2023, we filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. We are defending the action as it proceeds.

Note 11. Stockholders' Equity
Stock-Based Compensation
Our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) authorizes us to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units and other stock-based awards to employees, non-employee directors and certain consultants and advisors. There were up to 4,800,000 shares of our common stock initially reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2016 Plan will automatically increase annually on January 1 of each calendar year, commencing in 2017 and ending on and including January 1, 2026, by an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) 5% of the number of common shares of stock outstanding as of December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, or (b) 2,500,000 shares; provided, however, that our Board of Directors may determine that any annual increase be a lesser number. In addition, all awards granted under our 2007 Omnibus Stock Plan and our 2003 Stock Option Plan that were outstanding when the 2016 Plan became effective and that are forfeited, expired, cancelled, settled for cash or otherwise not issued, will become available for issuance under the 2016 Plan. Our Board of Directors exercised its prerogative to forego the automatic increase on each of January 1, 2023 and 2022. As of March 31, 2023, 5,614,397 shares were available for future grant pursuant to the 2016 Plan.
Upon adoption and approval of the 2016 Plan, all of our previous equity incentive compensation plans were terminated. However, existing awards under those plans continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedules and will expire at the end of their original terms.
We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $2.0 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This expense was allocated as follows:
103
102
Sales and marketing expenses

Stock Options
Stock options issued to participants other than non-employees typically vest over three or four years and typically have a contractual term of seven or ten years. Stock-based compensation expense included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for stock options was $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At March 31, 2023, there was approximately $1.0 million of total unrecognized pre-tax stock option expense under our equity compensation plans, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years.

Time-Based Restricted Stock Units
We have granted time-based restricted stock units to certain participants under the 2016 Plan that are stock-settled with common shares. Time-based restricted stock units granted under the 2016 Plan vest over one to three years. Stock-based compensation expense included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for time-based restricted stock units was $1.3 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At March 31, 2023, there was approximately $9.8 million of total unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to outstanding time-based restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.
Our time-based restricted stock unit activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was as follows:

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
We have granted performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to certain participants under the 2016 Plan. These PSUs have both performance-based and time-based vesting features. The PSUs granted in 2021 were earned based on the extent to which performance goals based on revenue and adjusted EBITDA were achieved in 2022. The PSUs granted in 2022 will be earned if and to the extent performance goals based on revenue change and adjusted EBITDA margin are achieved in 2023. The number of PSUs earned will depend on the level at which the performance targets are achieved and can range from 50% of target if the minimum performance threshold is achieved and up to 150% of target if maximum performance is achieved. The PSUs granted in 2023 have three separate performance periods, and one-third of each grant will be earned
18
if and to the extent performance goals based on revenue change and adjusted EBITDA margin are achieved in each of 2023 and 2024 (ranging from 25% to 175% of target), and one-third will be earned if and to the extent performance goals to be established are achieved in 2025. All earned and vested PSUs will be settled in shares of common stock.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized for PSUs was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At March 31, 2023, there was approximately $2.6 million of total unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to outstanding PSUs that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.
Our PSU activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was as follows:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Our employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), which was approved by our Board of Directors on April 27, 2016, and by our stockholders on June 20, 2016, allows participating employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. The ESPP is available to all of our employees and employees of participating subsidiaries. Participating employees may purchase common stock, on a voluntary after-tax basis, at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the closing market price per share of our common stock on the first or last trading day of each stock purchase period. The ESPP provides for six-month purchase periods, beginning on May 16 and November 16 of each calendar year.
A total of 1,600,000 shares of common stock was initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP. This share reserve will automatically be supplemented each January 1, commencing in 2017 and ending on and including January 1, 2026, by an amount equal to the least of (a) 1% of the shares of our common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, (b) 500,000 shares or (c) such lesser amount as our Board of Directors may determine. Our Board of Directors exercised its prerogative to forego the automatic increase on each of January 1, 2023 and 2022. As of March 31, 2023, 1,559,151 shares were available for future issuance under the ESPP. We recognized stock-based compensation expense associated with the ESPP of $0.2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Note 12. Revenue
We derive our revenue from the sale and rental of our products to our customers in the United States. The following table presents our revenue, inclusive of sales and rental revenue, disaggregated by product line:

7,324
Percentage of total revenue

Our revenue by channel, inclusive of sales and rental revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, are summarized in the following table:
Private insurers and other payers
25,425
26,566
Veterans Administration
5,823
5,635
Medicare
18,504
8,453
Durable medical equipment distributors
Our rental revenue is derived from rent-to-purchase arrangements that typically range from three to ten months. As title transfers to the patient, with whom we have the contract, upon the termination of the lease term and because collectability is probable, under ASC 842, these are recognized as sales-type leases. Each rental agreement contains two components, the controller and related garments, both of which are interdependent and recognized as one lease component.
The revenue and associated cost of revenue of sales-type leases are recognized on the lease commencement date and a net investment in leases is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We bill the patients’ insurance payers monthly over the duration of the rental term. We record the net investment in leases and recognize revenue upon commencement of the lease in the amount of the expected consideration to be received through the monthly payments. Similar to our sales revenue, the transaction price is impacted by multiple factors, including the terms and conditions contracted by third-party payers. As the rental contract resides with the patients, we have elected the portfolio approach, at the payer level, to determine the expected consideration, which considers the impact of early terminations. While the contract is with the patient, in certain circumstances, the third-party payer elects an initial rental period with an option to extend. We assess the likelihood of extending the lease at the onset of the lease to determine if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. As the lease is short-term in nature, we anticipate collection of substantially all of the net investment within the first year of the lease agreement. Completion of these payments represents the fair market value of the equipment, and as such, interest income is not applicable.
Rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, was primarily from private insurers. Sales-type lease revenue and the associated cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, was:
Sales-type lease revenue
Cost of sales-type lease revenue
Note 13. Income Taxes
We record our interim provision for income taxes by applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date pre-tax income (loss) and adjusting for discrete tax items recorded in the period. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the reporting of amounts for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes. These differences relate primarily to different methods used for income tax reporting purposes, including for depreciation and amortization, warranty and vacation accruals, and deductions related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and inventory reserves. Our provision for income taxes included current federal and state income tax expense, as well as deferred federal and state income tax expense.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was a benefit of 60.7%, compared to an expense of 1.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The primary driver of the change in our effective tax rate is attributable to our expectation that we will have current taxes payable for 2023, despite having a full valuation allowance. Additionally, there are significant permanent adjustments for nondeductible meals expense which were not relevant to the prior year period. We recorded an income tax benefit of $2.9 million and an expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
We recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority is more-likely-than-not to sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
The Company currently is not under examination in any jurisdictions.

Note 15. Fair Value Measurements
We determine the fair value of our assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We use a fair value hierarchy with three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1). The next highest priority is based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets or other observable inputs (Level 2). The lowest priority is given to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
As of March 31, 2023, we had obligations to pay a $5.0 million agreed-upon earn-out payment in cash and up to an additional $10.0 million earn-out payment in cash if certain future U.S. revenues of the AffloVest are met. The earn-out liability was valued by employing a Monte Carlo Simulation model in a risk-neutral framework, which is a Level 3 input. The underlying simulated variable includes recognized revenue. The recognized revenue volatility estimate was based on a study of historical asset volatility for a set of comparable public companies. The model includes other assumptions including the market price of risk, which was calculated as the weighted average cost of capital less the long-term risk-free rate. The earn-out liability is adjusted to fair value at each reporting date until settled. Changes in fair value are included in intangible asset amortization and earn-out expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Changes in the earn-out liability measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs were as follows:
Earn-out liability at December 31, 2022
Fair value adjustments
Earn-out liability at March 31, 2023
Earn-out liability at December 31, 2021
6,200
Earn-out liability at March 31, 2022
12,650
As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the earn-out liability accrued but not yet earned totaled $8.7 million and was classified as a current liability. The remaining $5.0 million of the earn-out liability had been earned, is to be paid by May 26, 2023 and was classified as a current liability.
22
The following provides information regarding fair value measurements for our remaining contingent earn-out liability as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, according to the three-level fair value hierarchy:

Recurring Fair Value Measurements:

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these items. Non-financial assets, such as equipment and leasehold improvements, and intangible assets are subject to non-recurring fair value measurements if they are deemed impaired.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We are a medical technology company that develops and provides innovative medical devices for the treatment of underserved chronic diseases. Our mission is to help people suffering from chronic diseases live better and care for themselves at home. We focus our efforts on advancing the standard of care in treating underserved chronic diseases in the home setting to improve patient outcomes and quality of life and help control rising healthcare expenditures. Our areas of therapeutic focus are (1) vascular disease, with a goal of advancing the standard of care in treating lymphedema and chronic venous insufficiency, (2) oncology, where lymphedema is a common consequence among cancer survivors and (3) providing airway clearance therapy for those suffering from chronic respiratory conditions. We possess a unique, scalable platform to deliver at-home healthcare solutions throughout the United States. This evolving home care delivery model is recognized by policymakers and insurance payers as a key for controlling rising healthcare costs. Our solutions deliver cost-effective, clinically proven, long-term treatment for people with these chronic diseases.
Our current lymphedema products are the Flexitouch and Entre systems and our airway clearance product is the AffloVest. A predecessor to our Flexitouch system received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in July 2002, and we introduced the system to address the many limitations of self-administered home-based manual lymphatic drainage therapy. We began selling our more advanced Flexitouch system after receiving 510(k) clearance from the FDA in October 2006. In September 2016, we received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the Flexitouch system in treating lymphedema of the head and neck. In June 2017, we announced that we received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the Flexitouch Plus, the third-generation version of our Flexitouch system. In December 2020, we received 510(k) clearance for two new indications for our Flexitouch Plus system: phlebolymphedema and lipedema. We introduced our Entre system in the United States in February 2013 and the second generation, Entre Plus, in March 2023. The Entre system is sold or rented to patients who need a simple pump or who do not yet qualify for insurance reimbursement for an advanced compression device such as our Flexitouch system. Sales and rentals of our lymphedema products represented 85% of our revenue in each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
On September 8, 2021, we acquired the assets of the AffloVest airway clearance product line from IBC, a privately-held company which developed and manufactured AffloVest. AffloVest is a portable, wearable vest that provides airway clearance to treat patients with chronic respiratory conditions such as bronchiectasis or conditions resulting from neuromuscular disorders. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, sales of AffloVest represented 15% of our revenue.
To support the growth of our business, we continue to invest in our commercial infrastructure, consisting of our direct sales force, training resources, reimbursement capabilities and clinical expertise. We market our lymphedema products in the United States using a direct-to-patient and -provider model. The AffloVest device is sold through respiratory durable medical equipment providers throughout the United States that service patients and bill third-party payers for the product. We also employ a small group of respiratory specialists, who educate DME representatives, provide product demonstrations for targeted clinicians and support technical questions related to the AffloVest. As of March 31, 2023, we employed a field staff of 289, which consisted of 250 field sales representatives and 24 field managers for our lymphedema products, as well as a team of 15 supporting our airway clearance products. This compares to a field staff of 271 as of March 31, 2022, which consisted of approximately 238 field sales representatives and 20 field managers for our lymphedema products, as well as a team of 13 supporting our airway clearance products.
We invest in our reimbursement function to improve operational efficiencies and enhance individual payer expertise, while continuing our strategic focus of payer development. Our payer relations function focuses on payer policy development, education, contract negotiations, and data analysis. Our reimbursement
operations function is responsible for verifying patient insurance benefits, individual patient case development, prior authorization submissions, case follow-up, and appeals when necessary.
We also have a clinical team, consisting of a scientific advisory board, in-house therapists and nurses, and a Chief Medical Officer, that serves as a resource to clinicians and patients and guides the development of clinical evidence in support of our products. Most clinical studies require observation and interaction with clinicians and patients to monitor results and progress.
We rely on third-party contract manufacturers for the sourcing of parts, the assembly of our controllers and the manufacturing of the garments used with our systems. We conduct final assembly of the garments used with our products, perform quality assurance and ship our products from our facility in Minnesota.
In July 2022, we launched Kylee™ a free mobile app that makes it easier for patients to manage their conditions by tracking treatments and symptoms, as well as having direct access to educational resources.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we generated revenue of $58.8 million and had a net loss of $1.9 million, compared to revenue of $48.0 million and a net loss of $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our primary sources of capital since our initial public offering in 2016 have been from operating income, bank financing and our public offering in February 2023.
We operate in one segment for financial reporting purposes.
Current Economic Conditions and the Effects of Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as general global economic downturns and macroeconomic trends, including heightened inflation, capital market volatility, interest rate fluctuations, increased unemployment and economic slowdown or recession, may result in unfavorable conditions that could negatively affect demand for our products and exacerbate some of the other risks that affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The United States economy in general and our business specifically have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. From the onset of the pandemic, we have seen declines in the number of patients that healthcare facilities and clinics are able to treat due to enhanced safety protocols, and have also seen staffing challenges, both in our organization and at the clinics we serve. While we saw some level of recovery in 2022 and in the first quarter of 2023, there are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last or what ultimate effects the pandemic will have. For that reason, we are unable to reasonably estimate the long-term impact of the pandemic on our business at this time.

Revenue increased $10.9 million, or 23%, to $58.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $48.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in total revenue was attributable to an increase of $9.1 million, or 22%, in sales and rentals of the lymphedema product line and an increase of $1.8 million, or 24%, in sales of the airway clearance product line in the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
The following table summarizes our revenue by product line for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, both in dollars and percentage of total revenue:

Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin
Cost of revenue increased $3.3 million, or 23%, to $17.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $14.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to the additional contribution of AffloVest sales and an increase in inbound freight costs.
Gross margin was 70.5% and 70.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased $2.4 million, or 10%, to $26.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $23.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel-related compensation expense as a result of the increased headcount in the collective field commercial team.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses increased $0.7 million, or 47%, to $2.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, which was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel-related compensation expense, third-party consulting and R&D supplies.
Reimbursement, General and Administrative Expenses
Reimbursement, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 5%, to $15.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $16.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.6 million decrease in occupancy costs, depreciation
27
expense, and legal and professional fees, partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in personnel-related compensation expense as a result of increased headcount in our reimbursement operations, payer relations and corporate functions.
Intangible Asset Amortization and Earn-out Expense
Intangible asset amortization and earn-out expense decreased $5.8 million to $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $7.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in intangible asset amortization and earn-out expense was mainly attributable to a $0.7 million adjustment to the fair value of the earn-out liability for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a $6.5 million adjustment for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net was $1.0 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense.
Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax benefit of $2.9 million and an income tax expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The difference relates to the fact that we expect to have current taxes payable for 2023, despite having a full valuation allowance. Additionally, there are significant permanent adjustments for nondeductible meals expense and nondeductible stock issuance costs which were not relevant to the prior year period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
At March 31, 2023, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $55.0 million and net accounts receivable of $71.0 million. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $21.2 million and net accounts receivable of $59.5 million at March 31, 2022.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:
Net cash (used in) provided by:

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $0.5 million, resulting from a net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $2.9 million and a net loss of $1.9 million, which were partially offset by non-cash net loss adjustments of $4.3 million. The non-cash net loss adjustments consisted primarily of $2.0 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.6 million of depreciation and amortization expense and a $0.7 million change in fair value of earn-out liability. Operating liabilities were unfavorably impacted by a decrease in accrued payroll and related taxes, accrued expenses and other liabilities and income taxes payable. Operating assets were favorably impacted by a decrease in accounts receivable, net investment in leases and inventories.
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $3.2 million, resulting from a net loss of $15.6 million and a net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $2.1 million, which was partially offset by non-cash net income (loss) adjustments of $10.3 million. The non-cash net income (loss) adjustments consisted primarily of $6.5 million related to a change in fair value of earn-out liability, $2.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.5 million of depreciation and amortization expense and $0.1 million of deferred income tax expense. The uses of cash related to changes in operating assets primarily consisted of decreases in accounts receivable of $2.8 million and in net investment in leases of $0.2 million, partially offset by increases in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.6 million and in inventories of $0.3 million. The changes in operating liabilities consisted of a decrease in accrued payroll and related taxes of $2.7 million, partially offset by increases in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1.4 million and accounts payable of $1.2 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $0.3 million, consisting of purchases of property and equipment, and patent costs.
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $0.2 million, consisting of purchases of property and equipment, and patent costs.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $33.9 million, primarily consisting of net proceeds from the offering of our common stock of $34.6 million, slightly offset by a $0.8 million payment made on our term loan.
Net cash used by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $3.7 million, primarily consisting of payments of $3.8 million made on our term loan, slightly offset by $0.1 million in proceeds from exercise of common stock options.
Credit Agreement
On September 8, 2021, we entered into a First Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amended the Restated Credit Agreement (as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Amendment, among other things, added a $30.0 million incremental term loan to the $25.0 million revolving credit facility provided by the Restated Credit Agreement. The term loan is reflected on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a note payable. The term loan and the revolving credit facility mature on September 8, 2024. The Credit Agreement provides that, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, we may increase the amount of the revolving loans available under the Credit Agreement and/or add one or more term loan facilities in an amount not to exceed $25.0 million in the aggregate, such that the total aggregate principal amount of loans available under the Credit Agreement (including under the revolving credit facility) does not exceed $80.0 million.
On September 8, 2021, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of the AffloVest business, we borrowed the $30.0 million term loan and utilized that borrowing, together with a draw of $25.0 million under the revolving credit facility and cash on hand, to fund the purchase price. The principal of the term loan is required to be repaid in quarterly installments of $750,000 commencing January 7, 2022, through July 8, 2024, with the remaining outstanding balance due on September 8, 2024.
On February 22, 2022, we entered into a Second Amendment Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which further amends the Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment modifies the maximum leverage ratio,
the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and the minimum consolidated EBITDA covenants under the Credit Agreement, and adds a minimum liquidity covenant. The second amendment also increases the applicable margin for LIBOR rate loans under the Credit Agreement during the period commencing on the date of the Second Amendment and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023.
Pursuant to the Second Amendment, we made a mandatory principal prepayment of the term loan of $3.0 million on February 22, 2022.
For additional information regarding the Credit Agreement, including interest rates, fees and maturities, see Note 9 – “Credit Agreement” of the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report.
Future Cash Requirements
For a discussion of our material estimated future cash requirements under our contractual obligations and commercial commitments, in total and disaggregated into current and long-term, see “Future Cash Requirements” included in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes since December 31, 2022.
As discussed in Note 4 – “Acquisitions” of the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report, the initial earn-out payment under the AffloVest Acquisition was $10.0 million, $5.0 million of which we paid in the fourth quarter of 2022, and $5.0 million, plus an imputed interest payment of $250,000, of which we are obligated to pay on or before May 26, 2023.
Adequacy of Resources
Our future cash requirements may vary significantly from those now planned and will depend on many factors, including:
Historically, we have experienced increases in our expenditures consistent with the growth in our revenue, operations and personnel, and we anticipate that our expenditures will continue to increase as we expand our business.
Although the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors such as inflation and rising interest rates are difficult to predict, we believe our cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, debt repayment and related interest, and other cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
