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.

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 October 28, 2021, the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Note 5 – 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	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Forward exchange contracts	Cash flow hedge	$	178,908	$	154,504
Forward exchange contracts	Non-designated	37,254		42,380

The remaining time to maturity as of September 30, 2021 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 September 30, 2021 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 long-term debt approximate fair value.

Note 6 - Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:

Note 7 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share (“diluted EPS”) gives effect to all dilutive potential shares outstanding resulting from employee stock options, restricted stock units, performance share units and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") as well as the Notes and related hedge transactions during the period.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Net income (loss)	$	14,948	$	6,850	$	38,098	$	(14,623)

Basic – weighted average shares outstanding	29,179		28,583		29,097		28,529

Effect of dilutive potential securities	2,964		843		2,923		—

Diluted – weighted average shares outstanding	32,143		29,426		32,020		28,529

Net income (loss) (per share)
Basic	$	0.51	$	0.24	$	1.31	$	(0.51)
Diluted	0.47		0.23		1.19		(0.51)

The shares used in the calculation of diluted EPS exclude options and SARs 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. Such shares aggregated approximately 0.7 million and 0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and 1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. As the Company was in a net loss position for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there were no anti-dilutive shares. Our 2.625% convertible notes due in 2024 (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.

The calculation of diluted EPS includes potential diluted shares upon conversion of the Notes 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. We intend to settle in cash the principal outstanding and use the treasury stock method when calculating their potential dilutive effect, if any.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, our average share price exceeded the conversion price of the Notes and we included in our diluted share count 1.2 million shares, for both periods, assumed to be issued if the Notes were converted. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, our average share price had not exceeded the conversion price of the Notes; therefore, under the net share settlement method, there were no potential shares issuable under the Notes to be used in the calculation of diluted EPS.

We previously entered into convertible notes hedge transactions to increase the effective conversion price of the Notes to $114.92. However, our convertible notes hedges are not included when calculating potential dilutive shares since their effect is always anti-dilutive.

Concurrently with entering into the hedge transactions, we also previously entered into warrant transactions under which we agreed to sell shares of our common stock at $114.92.

The calculation of diluted EPS also 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, our average share price exceeded $114.92 and we therefore included in our diluted share count an additional 0.5 million and 0.4 million shares, respectively, assumed to be issued under the warrants. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, our average share price had not exceeded $114.92; therefore, there were no potential shares issuable under the warrants to be used in the calculation of diluted EPS.

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 $8.3 million and $8.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $24.9 million and $25.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 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 (loss). Included in developed technology is $3.5 million of earn-out consideration that was paid during the third quarter of 2021 and an additional accrual of $2.4 million of earn-out consideration that is considered probable as of September 30, 2021 associated with a prior asset acquisition. This is recorded in other current liabilities at September 30, 2021.

Total long-term debt	$	703,335	$	735,221

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 (subject to 0.125% floor) plus an interest rate margin of 1.50% (1.625% at September 30, 2021). 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 $230.5 million in borrowings outstanding on the term loan facility as of September 30, 2021. There were $171.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2021. Our available borrowings on the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2021 were $411.5 million with approximately $2.5 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 September 30, 2021. We are also required, under certain circumstances, to make mandatory prepayments from net cash proceeds from any issuance of equity and asset sales.

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 September 30, 2021 and 2020, we have recorded interest expense related to the amortization of debt discount on the Notes of $2.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we have recorded interest expense related to the amortization of debt discount on the Notes of $7.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively, at the effective interest rate of 6.14%. The debt discount on the Notes is being amortized through February 2024. For both the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we have recorded interest expense on the Notes of $2.3 million and for both the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we have recorded interest expense on the Notes of $6.8 million at the contractual coupon rate of 2.625%.

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 7, unless we elect to settle the warrants in cash.

The scheduled maturities of long-term debt outstanding at September 30, 2021 are as follows:


Remaining 2021	$	2,981
2022	11,925
2023	14,906
2024	365,869
2025	23,850
2026	327,018

The above amounts exclude debt discount, deferred debt issuance costs and financing leases.

Note 10 – 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 warranty policies is based upon a review of historical claim experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and historical experience warrant.

Table of Contents

Changes in the liability for standard warranties for the nine months ended September 30, are as follows:


	2021		2020
Balance as of January 1,	$	1,826	$	2,186

Provision for warranties	1,235		616
Claims made	(683)		(932)

Balance as of September 30,	$	2,378	$	1,870

Costs associated with extended warranty repairs are recorded as incurred and amounted to $5.2 million and $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Note 11 – Pension Plan

Net periodic pension cost consists of the following:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Service cost	$	248	$	179	$	744	$	537

Net amortization and deferral	832		705		2,496		2,115

Net periodic pension cost	$	242	$	268	$	726	$	804

We do not expect to make any pension contributions during 2021. Non-service cost of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, is included in other expense in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income (loss). Non-service pension cost was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a $6.6 million charge to cost of sales related to plant underutilization due to abnormally low production as a result of decreased sales caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we performed an analysis of our product lines and determined certain catalog numbers, principally related to capital equipment, would be discontinued and consolidated into existing product offerings. We consequently recorded a $2.2 million charge to cost of sales to write-off inventory of the discontinued products. In addition, we incurred $2.1 million in costs related to the write-off of field inventory used for customer demonstration and evaluation of the discontinued products which we charged to selling and administrative expense.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred $1.1 million in restructuring costs related to a voluntary separation arrangement with employees as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that were charged to cost of sales based on the job function of the affected employees.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred $0.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively, in costs related to the consolidation of certain manufacturing operations which were charged to cost of sales. These costs related to winding down operations at certain locations and moving production lines to other facilities.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred costs for inventory step-up adjustments and other costs of $0.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, related to a previous acquisition, which were charged to cost of sales.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 we recorded charges of $1.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, primarily related to the restructuring of our Orthopedic sales force that was charged to selling and administrative expenses based on the nature of the costs and function of the affected employees. During the nine months ended September 30, 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 that was charged to selling and administrative expenses.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred $0.8 million in restructuring charges principally related to a voluntary separation arrangement with employees as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which were charged to selling and administrative expense based on the nature of the costs and function of the affected employees.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred $1.2 million in severance and integration costs mainly related to the Buffalo Filter acquisition which were included in selling and administrative expense.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded $1.1 million related to a loss on early extinguishment and third party fees associated with the seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement as further described in Note 9. These costs were included in other expense.

Note 13 — 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:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Orthopedic surgery	$	105,751	$	102,187	$	320,809	$	261,954

Note 14 – 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. The Court has not yet 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 was filed by various employees, former employees, contract workers and others against CONMED, and against a contract sterilizer. The second action is against CONMED’s landlord and other allegedly related entities. 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 based on contractual provisions. CONMED has submitted all of the claims for insurance coverage. One insurer is providing coverage for certain of the claims asserted directly against the Company. CONMED is currently in litigation with one of the other insurers regarding coverage for certain of 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.

Both actions are in their early stages and discovery has not yet started. 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.

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 15 – New Accounting Pronouncements

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 September 30, 2021, however will continue to monitor the impact of reference rates and will elect to apply this guidance in our consolidated financial statements in the event that we are impacted by reference rate reform.

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, 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 will adopt this standard on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method. The estimated impacts include the convertible debt instrument being accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and elimination of the non-cash interest expense as the Company will not separately present the equity embedded conversion feature in such debt. The Company also expects to adopt the if-converted method for earnings per share.

Overview

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 September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Orthopedic surgery	42	%	43	%	44	%	43	%
General surgery	58	%	57	%	56	%	57	%
Consolidated net sales	100	%	100	%	100	%	100	%

A significant amount of our products are used in surgical procedures with approximately 81% 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 45% and 44% of our consolidated net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Business Environment

Our business was, and to a lesser extent continues today to be, significantly impacted by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, first in the Asia Pacific geography and later in the United States, Europe and elsewhere as temporary closures occurred and hospitals and surgery centers postponed many non-urgent surgical procedures in order to minimize the risk of infection. In compliance with various governmental orders, beginning in March 2020 we restricted access to our main facilities to only essential personnel required to be onsite while maintaining production and distribution. Although such restrictions continued to be in place as of September 30, 2021, we are developing plans in certain of our facilities to ease such restrictions as the number of COVID-19 cases decline and vaccination rates increase. During the first nine months of 2021, revenues increased compared to the first nine months of 2020. We have seen and believe we will continue to experience market variability that could influence sales, suppliers, patients and customers. We also have seen and continue to expect general surgery to rebound faster than orthopedic surgery due to the nature of the products. However, there remains uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the duration and severity of future impacts to the business. See additional discussion in Liquidity and Capital Resources below.

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, 2020 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.

Table of Contents

Net sales increased 4.6% and 20.8% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago driven by increases across all product lines as the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on sales during the first nine months of 2020.

•Orthopedic surgery sales increased 3.5% and 22.5% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily related to growth in capital products as customers resumed capital purchases. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as 2020 was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as hospitals and surgery centers deferred non-urgent surgeries and customers also deferred capital equipment purchases.

•General surgery sales increased 5.5% and 19.6% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. 2020 was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as hospitals and surgery centers deferred non-urgent surgeries. General surgery sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 mainly driven by continued growth in our advanced surgical products, including our AirSeal® and Buffalo Filter® products, and advanced endoscopic technologies products. We believe the deferral of non-urgent procedures has had a lesser impact on our general surgery products as a result of the nature of the products and procedures in which they are used.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased to $106.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $104.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and increased to $324.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $284.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Gross profit margins increased 100 basis points to 57.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 56.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and increased 270 basis points to 56.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 53.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The increase in gross profit margin of 100 basis points in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 270 basis points in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by an increase in sales and product mix as well as the absence in 2021 of certain costs incurred in 2020 including the following:

•$6.6 million in costs related to plant underutilization due to abnormally low production as a result of decreased sales caused by the COVID-19 pandemic during the nine months ended September 30, 2020;

•$2.2 million in costs related to product rationalization during the nine months ended September 30, 2020;

•$1.1 million in restructuring costs related to a voluntary separation arrangement as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic during the nine months ended September 30, 2020;

•$0.6 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, in costs related to the consolidation of certain manufacturing operations related to winding down operations at certain locations and moving production lines to other facilities; and

•$0.8 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, related inventory step-up adjustments from a previous acquisition.

Refer to Note 12 for further details on the above items.

Selling and Administrative Expense

Selling and administrative expense increased to $104.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $94.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and increased to $307.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $274.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales increased to 42.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 39.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and decreased to 41.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 45.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The increase in selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by higher shipping costs and a return to travel and trade show attendance and partially offset by the absence in 2021 of $1.0 million in costs associated with the restructuring of our Orthopedic sales force during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Table of Contents

The decrease in selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was mainly driven by higher sales in 2021 while continuing to monitor our expenses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, 2020 included the following expenses:

•$3.1 million in severance costs related to a voluntary termination program and costs associated with the restructuring of our Orthopedic sales force during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively;

•a $2.1 million write-off of field inventory used for customer demonstration and evaluation of products resulting from the product rationalization initiative during the nine months ended September 30, 2020; and

•$1.2 million in severance and integration costs mainly related to the Buffalo Filter acquisition in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense increased to $10.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $9.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Research and development expense increased to $32.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $28.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expense increased 20 basis points to 4.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 4.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and decreased 30 basis points to 4.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 4.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The higher spend as a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by timing of projects. The lower spend as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by higher sales in 2021.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $8.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $11.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and decreased to $27.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $32.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The weighted average interest rates on our borrowings decreased to 2.46% in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 4.01% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2.94% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 3.63% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to decreases in our weighted average interest rates compared to the same periods a year ago driven by lower borrowings and lower interest rates as a result of the seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement as further described in Note 9.

Other Expense

Other expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was related to costs associated with our seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement entered into July 16, 2021 as further described in Note 9. Theses costs included $1.1 million related to a loss on early extinguishment and third party fees. Other expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 is related to non-service pension costs as further described in Note 11.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense has been recorded at an effective tax rate of 14.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to income tax expense at an effective tax rate of 60.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Income tax expense has been recorded at an effective tax rate of 12.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to income tax expense at an effective tax rate of (22.9)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We calculate our estimated tax liability each quarter based on the level of income and tax liability on a year-to-date basis. Our income position for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 generated tax expense which was offset by discrete income tax benefit from federal tax deductions relating to stock option exercises that decreased the effective tax rate by 12.5% and 14.1%, respectively. The tax rates for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily the result of the third quarter 2020 income which offset in part the second quarter 2020 loss position. At the end of the second quarter of 2020, the loss position resulted in an effective rate of 26.6% through the first six months of the year. Given the increase in income in the third quarter of 2020, the year-to-date income level changed and drove a higher level of tax liability in the third quarter on a year-to-date basis. This resulted in a tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 of 60.5% which included a discrete benefit relating to the final issuance of tax regulations regarding US tax on foreign earnings at different rates. The nine months ended September 30, 2020 included discrete income tax benefit associated with this final issuance of tax regulations, stock option exercises and other federal income tax items. 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, 2020, 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, described below. 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, 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.

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. We continue to monitor our spending and expenses in light of our expectation that our revenues will continue to be impacted by the pandemic. While the results of operations support continued recovery, there remains uncertainty in the financial markets related to the COVID-19 pandemic which may have an impact on the demand for post-pandemic surgery levels that are difficult to predict. If the downturn is more severe and prolonged than we currently expect, we may need to take further steps to reduce our costs, or to refinance our debt.

Operating cash flows

Our net working capital position was $260.2 million at September 30, 2021. Net cash provided by operating activities was $78.0 million and $44.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, generated on net income (loss) of $38.1 million and $(14.6) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in 2021 as compared to 2020 was mainly driven by higher net income in 2021 compared to the same period a year ago offset by an increase in inventory levels to mitigate inventory supply challenges and prepare for anticipated increases in revenue.

Investing cash flows

Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased $1.2 million from the same period a year ago primarily due to capital expenditures being higher at $11.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $9.9 million in the same period a year ago.

Financing cash flows

Net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $60.8 million compared to $24.9 million during 2020. Below is a summary of the significant financing activities impacting the change during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2020:

•We had net payments on our revolving line of credit of $36.0 million, inclusive of the impact of the seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement, compared to $10.0 million in net borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Table of Contents

•We had net payments on our term loan of $11.3 million, inclusive of a $52.4 million impact on both borrowings and repayments between independent counterparties associated with the seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement, compared to $9.9 million in payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

•We had net cash proceeds of $14.9 million related to stock issued under employee plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $3.7 million in the same period a year ago.

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 Board of Directors has authorized a $200.0 million share repurchase program. Through September 30, 2021, 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.

Table of Contents
