OVERVIEW



OVERVIEW
Invacare is a multi-national company with integrated capabilities to design, manufacture and distribute durable medical devices. The company makes products that help people move, breathe, rest and perform essential hygiene, and with those products the company supports people with congenital, acquired and degenerative conditions. The company's products and solutions are important parts of care for people with a range of challenges, from those who are active and involved in work or school each day and may need additional mobility or respiratory support, to those who are cared for in residential care settings, at home and in rehabilitation centers. The company operates in facilities in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, which are the result of dozens of acquisitions made over the company's forty-two-year history. Some of these acquisitions have been combined into integrated operating units, while others have remained relatively independent.
COVID-19 Impact
The company continues to monitor the impact of the pandemic, which continues to negatively impact the company’s business in 2022 with regard to supply chain disruptions impacting both input costs and availability of components, resulting in compressed gross margins. The company expects these issues will remain throughout 2022.While the company has implemented actions to mitigate the negative impact of higher input costs, it is expected that there could continue to be a difference between the timing of when the mitigation actions are effective and when the cost inflation is incurred.
The company realized growth in its mobility and seating product category in the first quarter of 2022 as a result of improved access to healthcare and loosening of public health restrictions compared to last year. However, demand still has not returned to pre-pandemic levels.
The company continues to experience high demand globally for its products.However, the company has and continues to experience availability issues with components which may limit the ability to increase output and meet this demand. In addition, the company has continued to experience cost increases from pandemic-related supply chain disruptions.
The company experienced Omicron-related impacts during the first quarter of 2022 across its employee, production and supplier base, with the extent of the disruptions varying by country. The company experienced absenteeism early in the quarter as a result of Omicron which caused temporary inefficiencies in operations, and which have since subsided.
The extent to which the company’s operations will be impacted by the pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which remain highly uncertain and difficult to accurately predict, including, among other things, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic, actions by government authorities to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, such as restrictions imposed in China to control the pandemic, and potential of reimposed public health restrictions or restrictions on access to healthcare facilities. In addition, supply chain disruptions continue to negatively impact the global economy and may affect the business including availability and cost of components and freight, which may have a negative impact on the company and results of operations, if mitigation actions are not effective.
Strategy
For its first 35 years, theThe company historically had a strategy to be a leading provider of durable medical equipment to health care providers in global markets by providing the broadest portfolio available. This strategy hadhas not kept pace with certain reimbursement changes, competitive dynamics and company-specific challenges, especially in the United States market.challenges.

By focusing the company’scompany's efforts to provide the best possible assistance and outcomes to the people and caregivers who use its products, the company aims to improve its financial condition for sustainable profit and growth. To execute this transformation,As a result, the company is undertaking a substantial three-phase, multi-year transformationbusiness optimization plan.

TransformationBusiness Optimization Efforts
The company has been executingcontinues to execute a multi-year transformationstrategy to shiftreturn the company to profitability by focusing its new strategy, especially in North America. This is expected to yield better financial results from the application of the company’s resources toon products and solutions that provide greater healthcare value in clinically complex rehabilitation and post-acute care.
Cost pressures on the business impacted by supply chain disruptions and inflationary economic conditions are anticipated to continue in 2022. While the company has implemented actions to mitigate these cost increases, additional actions may be needed to drive profitability and free cash flow generation. These actions could include further restructuring actions including organization optimization, supply chain rationalization, and product line rationalization for those product categories which do not deliver adequate profitability given the higher cost inputs being incurred. These actions are anticipated to result in restructuring costs, to the extent implemented, during 2022, including those set forth in the company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2022.
The transformation is divided intocompany's business optimization actions balance product portfolio changes across all regions and cost improvements in supply chain and administrative functions. Key elements of the following three phases:global business optimization plans are:

In the medium-term, the company still expects to execute on its business optimization strategy, such as the global IT modernization initiative which is largely complete in North America, was strategic alignment and investment phase with significant shifts inintended to optimize the mix of the company's business. During Phase One, the company made investments in SG&A, including hiring and training over 50% new North America/HME clinical sales representatives,
mainly in 2016. The company reduced net sales of less accretive product, including reducing net sales of aids for daily living, divested its Garden City Medical, Inc. (GCM) subsidiary, and discontinued non-core product categories such as consumer power wheelchairs in North America/HME. During Phase One, the North America/HME business also demonstrated gross margin percentage improvement through a more clinical mix of products from the integration of clinical subsidiaries, as well as an enhanced new product pipeline.

The company is currentlyintends to continue to make significant investments in Phase Two of the transformation, focusedits business improvement initiatives with a focus on North America. By the end this phase, the company expects growth in sales and gross profit dollars, as well as an improvement in operating incomeimproving profitability and free cash flow. This is expectedflow generation. As a result, the company may take actions which may reduce sales in certain areas, refocus resources away from less profitable activities, and look at its global infrastructure for opportunities to comefurther optimize the business. As part of the company’s efforts to streamline its operations and focus its resources on core product lines that provide the greatest value and financial returns, the company continuously evaluates opportunities and activities, including potential divestitures, which it considers from time to time, particularly if they involve businesses or assets outside of the commercial executioncompany’s primary areas of phase one investments and new product launches. focus.
Outlook

In the second half of 2017,efficiency, the company expects to grow revenue and profit, and improve its cash flow performance into the future.
Cost pressures on the business due to supply chain disruptions and inflationary economic conditions are anticipated to continue into 2022. The company continues to see higher input costs related to freight and materials, increasing the challenges to schedule deliveries of key components, including electronic components for respiratory and mobility and seating products.While the company has implemented actions to mitigate these cost increases, additional restructuring actions may be implemented to drive profit and improve cash flows. These restructuring actions may include organization simplification and supply chain rationalization. These actions are expected to include organization and supply chain changes and a narrowing of the product portfolio for those items which no longer meet customer or business needs. These actions are anticipated to take effect in 2022 and as a result the company anticipates incurring additional costs related to its restructuring actions.
Revenues for the full year of 2022 are not anticipated to increase, largely as a result of product rationalization and discontinuations which may not be completely mitigated by the pricing actions implemented by the business. In addition, sales sequentially in its North America/HME segment through new product and service offerings and increased commercial effectiveness from its salesforce. Involumes may be adversely impacted by customers reactions to the third quarter of 2017,company's mitigation actions.

However, in spite of this, there may be interim periods where the company’s investments do not fully yield expected financial improvements, particularly in light of various external factors.

STATUS OF THE CONSENT DECREE

On July 24, 2017, the company received notice from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that the company had satisfied the FDA’s requirements under the consent decree to resume full operations at its Corporate and Taylor Street manufacturing facilities in Elyria, Ohio. As a result, the company then became able to produce and sell all products madetemporary pause in the Taylor Street facility without the previous restrictions under the consent decree, which has beenERP roll-out in effect since December 21, 2012.

Also, the company became able to sell its wheelchairs designed and manufactured at the Taylor Street facility without having to obtain the verification of medical necessity (VMN) documentation previously required under the consent decree. To ensure the facilities2022 as restructuring actions are in continuous compliance with FDA regulations and the consent decree, the consent decree requires the company to undergo five years of audits by a third-party auditor selected by Invacare. The third-party auditor will inspect the Corporate and Taylor Street facilities every six monthsimplemented. Stock compensation expense for the firstyear is expected to be similar to 2021.
The company anticipates profit and free cash flow to improve for the full year compared to the prior year and then once every 12 monthssequentially for the four years thereafter. Other Invacare manufacturing facilities were unaffected by the consent decree and have remained fully operational.

restructuring benefits, take effect.
The company has been executinghistorically had negative free cash flow during the first half of the year due to a multi-year strategic transformationconfluence of its overall approach to quality, product mix, commercial execution, supply chaincompany and engineering changes. The company is increasingly focused on solutions that provide the greatest clinical benefit to patients and help healthcare providers be most effective. These changes apply globally, although the efforts to drive change have been most intensely focused in North America. Part of this strategyindustry seasonal patterns. This pattern has been to diminish sales of less clinically valuable products. Following a positive turn in sequential net sales growth after several quarters of transformation work, the company expects North America/HME net sales to continue to improve sequentiallycontinued in the fourthfirst quarter 2017 versus third quarter 2017. The company is gradually applying the transformation to the Europe segment, which may slightly reduce the segment's net sales as it begins to shift its product mix toward more clinically valued, higher margin products. Regarding the IPG segment, the company expects its new go-to-market strategy within the capital selling environment to continue to take time to yield growth.

The launch of the new Invacare® TDX® SP2 power wheelchair with LiNX® technology and Ultra Low Maxx seating2022 in August 2017 and the ability to sell power and manual wheelchairs from the Taylor Street facility without the previous restrictions from the consent decree are unlikely to have a material impact on the business until at least 2018part due to the time it takestiming of annual payments such as customer rebates, higher working capital usage from seasonal inventory increases, and decreases in accounts payable.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - NET SALES


On September 30, 2016, the company completed the sale of its subsidiary, Garden City Medical Inc. ("GCM"), to Compass Health Brands. GCM, doing business as PMI and Pinnacle Medsource, sourced and distributed primarily single-use products under the brand ProBasics by PMI. GCM was part of the North America/Home Medical Equipment (NA/HME) segment. This divestiture further refined the company’s focus on other lines of business where the company’s resources can best generate returns in areas of complex rehabilitation and post-acute care. CGM was not deemed a discontinued operation for financial reporting purposes, and therefore is included in the results below unless otherwise noted. For more information, see the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The table above provides net sales change as reported and as adjusted to exclude the impact of foreign exchange translation (constant currency net sales) as well as net sales further adjusted to exclude the impact of the sale of GCM, which was sold in September 2016 and not deemed a discontinued operation from an external reporting perspective.. “Constant currency net sales" is a non-GAAPnon-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") financial measure, which is defined as net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. The current year's functional currency net sales are translated using the prior year's foreign exchange rates. These amounts are then compared to the prior year's sales to calculate the constant currency net sales change.

The global pandemic continued to impact sales across all segments in different ways. Public health restrictions started to ease and increase access to healthcare professionals and institutions needed for certain product selections, as compared to 1Q21. Global supply chain challenges continued to delay receipt of components and limit conversion of orders to sales, which continued to impact each of the regions in 1Q22.
Europe - Constant currency net sales increased $12,643,000, or 11.2% in 1Q22 compared to 1Q21 as sales started to recover from pandemic-related challenges led by increased sales in mobility and seating and lifestyle products reflecting the improving restoration of access to healthcare. Respiratory net sales declined as a result of supply chain challenges which were hindered by the availability of components to fill orders.
North America - Constant currency net sales for 1Q22 decreased $648,000 or 0.9% compared to 1Q21. Growth in mobility & seating products net sales was more than offset by decreased net sales of lifestyle and respiratory products. Improved access to healthcare professionals and institutions benefits were outpaced by supply chain disruptions.
All Other - Constant currency net sales, which relates entirely to the Asia Pacific region, increased $612,000 or 8.2% for 1Q22 compared to 1Q21 driven by growth in respiratory and lifestyle products as a result of product received in the region during the quarter which fulfilled existing orders.

Constant currency net sales of mobility and seating products, which comprise most of the company's clinically complex product portfolio, were 37.7% of constant currency net sales in 1Q22 and 35.8% in 1Q21.

The improvement in mix percentage for mobility and seating product is the result of improved access to healthcare compared to 1Q21. All product categories are impacted by supply chain challenges, including timely delivery of components, as compared to 1Q21.

ivc-20220331_g3.jpg
Gross profit decreased $6,909,000 and gross profit as a percentage of net sales for 1Q22 decreased 410 basis points to 23.7%, primarily attributable to higher freight and material costs and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by favorable pricing. In addition, in 1Q22, the company experienced brief but significant Omicron-related impacts, like short-term absenteeism across its operations and suppliers, causing inefficiencies that affected gross margin. As well, input costs were at their lowest levels in 1Q21 and escalated as 2021 progressed.

Gross profit drivers by segment:
Europe - Gross profit dollars for 1Q22 decreased $2,155,000 on higher net sales compared to 1Q21. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 2.8% compared to 1Q21. Gross profit dollars were burdened by additional freight costs which were partially offset by pricing actions.
North America - Gross profit dollars decreased $4,268,000 and gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 4.0% for 1Q22 compared to 1Q21 driven by unfavorable product mix as well as higher material and freight costs, partially offset by pricing actions.
All Other - Asia Pacific gross profit dollars decreased $226,000 and gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased 3.6% for 1Q22 compared to 1Q21 primarily driven by higher material and freight costs.
All Other also includes the impact of intercompany profit eliminations for the consolidated company.

The table above provides selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses change as reported and as adjusted to exclude the impact of foreign exchange translation (constant currency SG&A). “Constant currency SG&A" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as SG&A expenses excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. The current year's functional currency SG&A expenses are translated using the prior year's foreign exchange rates. These amounts are then compared to the prior year's SG&A expenses to calculate the constant currency SG&A expenses change. Management believes that this financial measure provides meaningful information for evaluating the core operating performance of the company.


For the quarter, constant currency net sales increased in the Asia Pacific segment but was more than offset by declines in the NA/HME, IPG and Europe segments.

Year-to-date constant currency net sales increased in the European and Asia/Pacific segments but was more than offset by declines in the NA/HME and IPG segments.

Excluding the divestiture of the GCM business, consolidated constant currency net sales declined 4.5% and 6.1% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, compared to the

same periods last year, with net sales declines in lifestyle, respiratory and IPG products partially offset by increases in mobility and seating products.

Constant currency net sales performance drivers by segment:

Europe - The slight decline in constant currency net salesSG&A increased $3,490,000 or 5.9% for the quarter was driven by respiratory and lifestyle products partially offset by mobility and seating products.

The days in inventory increase from last year end was due to lower than expected net sales and inventory build primarily related to plant closures. However, the days in inventory for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 were favorable to the quarter ended June 30, 2017 by 3.4 days as a result of reduction in inventory levels during the period by the Company. The increase in the most current days in receivables compared to prior periods was driven by higher sales in the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior three quarters.

Days in receivables are equal to current quarter net current receivables divided by trailing four quarters of net sales multiplied by 365 days. Days in inventory and accounts payable are equal to current quarter net inventory and accounts payable, respectively, divided by trailing four quarters of cost of sales multiplied by 365 days. Total cash conversion days are equal to days in receivables plus days in inventory less days in accounts payable.

The company provides a summary of days of cash conversion for the components of working capital so investors may see the rate at which cash is disbursed, collected and how quickly inventory is converted and sold.

Accounting Policies


Principles of Consolidation:

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and include all adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the company as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and the results of its operations and changes in its cash flow for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016,2021, respectively. Certain foreign subsidiaries, represented by the European segment, are consolidated using an August 31a February 28 quarter end to meet filing deadlines. No material subsequent events have occurred related to the European segment, which would require disclosure or adjustment to the company's financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


Use of Estimates:

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Already Adopted):
In March 2016,2020, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation – Stock Compensation: Topic 718: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.2020-04 "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting," ASU 2016-09which is intended to simplify several aspects ofprovide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting for share-based payment transactions, includingto ease the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities,financial reporting burden related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and classificationother interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates if certain criteria are met. The guidance may be adopted in any period prior to the guidance expiration on the statement of cash flows. December 31, 2022.
The company adopted ASU 2016-09,2020-04 effective January 1, 2017, which2022 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the company's financial statements. Interest arrangements previously referring to LIBOR prior to adoption, now refer to a secured overnight finance rate (SOFR).
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventory. With effectiveness of this update, entities are required to subsequently measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than at the lower of cost or market. The company adopted ASU 2015-11, effective January 1, 2017, which did not have a material impact on the company's financial statements.




Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Not Yet Adopted):

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 requires a company to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The guidance requires five steps to be applied: 1) identify the contract(s) with customers, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also requires both quantitative and qualitative disclosures, which are more comprehensive than existing revenue standards. The disclosures are intended to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and the related cash flow.

An entity can apply the new revenue standard retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in retained earnings. The new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, due to an approved one-year deferral, and early adoption is permitted.

During 2017, the company completed an assessment of its contracts and related accounting. The Company concluded it has a product revenue stream for which revenue is recognized at a point in time and a service revenue stream for which revenue is principally recognized at a point in time with some service revenues recognized over time. Based on this review, the company does not expect this standard will have a material impact on the company's results of operations or cash flows in the periods after adoption. Pursuant to ASU 2014-09, revenues are recognized as control transfers to the customers, which is consistent with the current revenue recognition model and the current accounting for most of the company's contracts. The company expects to adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-09 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment to equity. The company will continue to evaluate the impact of ASU 2014-09, as well as any subsequent updates and clarifications, and the possible impact of the standard on any new contracts entered into by the company through the date of adoption.

Current Assets

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheet while recognizing expense in a manner similar to existing accounting. The new accounting guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The company is currently reviewing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the company's financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements." ASU 2016-13 requires a new credit loss standard for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For example, entities will be required to use an "expected loss" model that will generally require earlier recognition of allowances for losses for trade receivables. The standard also requires additional disclosures, including disclosures regarding how an entity tracks credit quality. The amendments in the pronouncement are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities may early adopt the amendments as of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The company is currently reviewing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on the company's financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". The guidance in ASU 2017-04 eliminates the requirement to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure goodwill impairment. Under the amendments in the new ASU, goodwill impairment testing will be performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The new standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim goodwill impairment testing performed after January 1, 2017. The company is currently reviewing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-04 but does not expect the adoption to impact the company's financial statements.












Reclassifications:

In 2016, the company redefined the measure by which it evaluates segment profit or loss to be segment operating profit (loss). The previous performance measure was earnings before income taxes. All prior periods presented were changed to reflect the new measure. During the first quarter of 2017, a subsidiary, formerly included in the Europe segment, transferred to the NA/HME segment as it is managed by the NA/HME segment manager effective January 1, 2017. The results for 2016 have been changed accordingly and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the change increased revenues from external customers by $1,300,000 and $3,738,000, respectively, and operating loss by $15,000 and $165,000, respectively, for NA/HME with an offsetting impact for Europe.

Reserves for Sale

On September 30, 2016,customer rebates and cash discounts are recorded as a reduction in revenue and netted against gross accounts receivable. Customer rebates in excess of a given customer's accounts receivable balance are classified in Accrued Expenses. Customer rebates and cash discounts are estimated based on the most likely amount principle as well as historical experience and anticipated performance. In addition, customers have the right to return product within the company’s normal terms policy, and as such, the company completedestimates the saleexpected returns based on an analysis of its subsidiary, Garden City Medical Inc, a Delaware corporationhistorical experience and wholly-owned subsidiary (“GCM”), dba PMI and Pinnacle Medsource, to Compass Health Brands Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement. GCM sourced and distributed primarily lifestyle products under the brand ProBasicsby PMI. GCM was part of the NA/HME segment of the company. The price paid to the company for GCM was $13,829,000 in cash, and net proceeds from the transaction were $12,729,000, net of expenses. The company recorded a pre-tax gain of $7,386,000 inadjusts revenue accordingly.

During the third quarter of 2016, which represented the excess of the net sales price over the book value of the assets and liabilities of GCM. The sale of GCM was dilutive to the company's results. The company utilized the net proceeds to fund operations. The company determined that the sale of GCM did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation in accordance with ASU 2014-08 but the "held for sale" criteria of ASC 360-10-45-9 were met and thus GCM was treated as held for sale.





























With the sale of GCM,2021, the company entered into an agreement with the Purchaser for the Purchasera bank to buy, at cost, all ProBasics inventory capitalized on the balance sheets ofsell certain Invacare subsidiaries which was not sold as part of the GCM sale on September 30, 2016. The value of the inventory sold was approximately $2,400,000 which was transferred to the Purchasertrade receivables with governmental entity customers in the fourth quarter of 2016 and was paid by the Purchaser as of September 30, 2017.

During the third quarter of 2017, the company and the Purchaser agreed on the final purchase price of GCM. As a result, the company will pay the Purchaser approximately $667,000 in the fourth quarter of 2017. This payment amount is fully accrued by the company as of September 30, 2017.

Prior to 2017, the company had recorded expenses related toNordic region without recourse. Under ASC 860, the sale of all operations held forthe receivables qualify as a true sale including GCM, totaling $2,892,000, of which $1,700,000 has been paid out as of September 30, 2017.

From 2012 through 2014, the company sold three businesses which were classified as discontinued operations. Prior to 2017, the company hadand not a secured borrowing. No gain or loss was recorded cumulative expenses related toon the sale of discontinued operations totaling $8,801,000, ofthe receivables.

Receivables


Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. Substantially all the company’s receivables are due from health care, medical equipment providers and long-term care facilities predominantly located throughout the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand China and Europe. A significant portion of products sold to providers, both foreign and domestic, are ultimately funded through government reimbursement programs such as Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S. Therefore,As a consequence, changes in these programs can have an adverse impact on dealer liquidity and profitability.


The company's approach is to separate its receivables into good-standing and collection receivables. Good-standing
receivables are assigned to risk pools of high, medium and low. The risk pools are driven by the specifics associated with the geography of origination. Expected loss percentages are calculated and assigned to each risk pool, driven primarily by historical experience. The historical loss percentages are calculated for each risk pool and then judgmentally revised to consider current risk factors as well as consideration of the impact of forecasted events, as applicable. The expected loss percentages are then applied to receivables balances each period to determine the allowance for doubtful accounts.

In North America, excluding Canada, good-standing receivables are assigned to the low risk pool and assigned an expected loss percentage of 1.0% as these receivables are deemed to share the same risk profile and collections efforts are the same. Installment receivables in North America are characterized as collection receivables and thus reserves are based on specific analysis of each customer. In Canada, good-standing receivables are deemed low risk and assigned a loss percentage of 0.1%.

In Europe, expected losses are determined by each location in each region. Most locations have a majority of their receivables assigned to the low risk pool, which has an average expected loss percentage of 0.5%. About half of the locations have a portion of their receivables assigned as medium risk with an average expected loss percentage of 1.3%. Only a few locations have any receivables characterized as high risk and the average credit loss percentage for those locations is 3.8%. Collection risk is generally low as payment terms in certain key markets, such as Germany, are immediate and in many locations the ultimate customer is the government.

In the Asia Pacific region, receivables are characterized as low risk, which have an average expected loss percentage of 1.0%. Historical losses are low in this region where the use of credit insurance is often customary.

The company did not make any material changes to the assignment of receivables to the different risk pools or to the expected loss reserves in the quarter. The company is monitoring the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the possibility for an impact on collections, but to date this has not materially impacted 2022.

For collections receivables, the estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts ($6,559,000 at September 30, 2017 and $6,916,000 at December 31, 2016) is based primarily on management’s evaluation of the financial condition of specific customers. The company accounts for customer rebateseach customer. In addition, as a reductionresult of revenue and the related accounts receivable when products are sold in accordance with ASC 605. In addition, due to the company's financing arrangement with De Lage Landen, Inc. ("DLL"),DLL, a third-party financing company with which the company has worked with since 2000, management monitors the collection status of these contracts in accordance with the company’s limited recourse obligations and provides amounts necessary for estimated losses in the allowance for doubtful accounts and establishes reserves for specific customers as needed.

The company writes off uncollectible trade accounts receivable after such receivables are moved to collection status and legal remedies are exhausted. SeeRefer to Concentration of Credit Risk in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the financing arrangement. Long-term installment receivables are included in “Other Assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.


The company has recorded a contingent liability in the amount of $307,000 related to the contingent aspect of the company's guarantee associated with its arrangement with DLL. The contingent liability is recorded applying the same expected loss model used for the trade and installment receivables recorded on the company's books. Specifically, historical loss history is used to determine the expected loss percentage, which is then adjusted judgmentally to consider other factors, as needed.

The company’s U.S. customers electing to finance their purchases can do so using DLL. In addition, the company often provides financing directly for its Canadian customers for whichRepurchased DLL is not an option, as DLL typically provides financing to Canadian customers only on a limited basis. The installment receivables recorded on the books of the company represent a single portfolio segment of finance receivables to the independent provider channel and long-term care customers. The portfolio segment is comprised
of two classes ofthese receivables are distinguished by geography and credit quality. The U.S. installmentThese receivables are the first class and represent installment receivables re-purchasedwere repurchased from DLL because the customers were in default. Default with DLL is defined as a customer being delinquent by three3 payments.


The Canadian installment receivables represent the second class of installment receivables which were originally financed by the company because third party financing was not available to the HME providers. The Canadian installment receivables are typically financed for twelve months and historically have had a very low risk of default.


The estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts and evaluation for impairment for both classes of installment receivables is based on the company’s quarterly review of the financial condition of each individual customer with the allowance for doubtful accounts adjusted accordingly. Installments are individually and not collectively reviewed for impairment.reviewed. The company assesses the bad debt reserve levels based upon the status of the customer’s adherence to a legally negotiated payment schedule and the company’s ability to enforce judgments, liens, etc.


For purposes of granting or extending credit, the company utilizes a scoring model to generate a composite score that considers each customer’s consumer credit score and/or D&B credit rating, payment history, security collateral and time in business. Additional analysis is performed for most customers desiring credit greater than $250,000, which generally includes a detailed review of the customer’s financial statements as well as consideration of other factors such as exposure to changing reimbursement laws.


Interest income is recognized on installment receivables based on the terms of the installment agreements. Installment accounts are monitored and if a customer defaults on payments and is moved to collection, interest income is no longer recognized. Subsequent payments received once an account is put on non-accrual status are generally first applied to the principal balance and then to the interest. Accruing of interest on collection accounts would only be restarted if the account became current again.


All installment accounts are accounted for using the same methodology regardless of the duration of the installment agreements. When an account is placed in collection status, the company goes through a legal process for pursuing collection of outstanding amounts, the length of which typically approximates eighteen months. Any write-offs are made after the legal process has been completed. The company has not made any changes to either its accounting policies or methodology to estimate allowances for doubtful accounts in the last twelve months.

Notes to Financial StatementsLong-Term Assets
In accordance with Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, ASC 350, goodwill is tested annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit could be above its fair value.

A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below. The company has determined that its reporting units are North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

All the company’s intangible assets have been assigned definite lives and continue to be amortized over their useful lives, except for trademarks shown above, which have indefinite lives.

The changes in intangible balances reflected on the balance sheet from December 31, 20162021 to September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 were the result of foreign currency translation on historical cost and accumulated amortization.

The company evaluates the carrying value of definite-lived assets annually in the fourth quarter and whenever events or circumstances indicate possible impairment.
Definite-lived assets are determined to be impaired if the future un-discountedundiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are less than the carrying value. Actual impairment amounts for definite-lived assets are then calculated using a discounted cash flow calculation. The company reviews indefinite-lived assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate possible impairment.
Any impairment amounts for indefinite-lived intangible assets areis calculated as the difference between the future discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset less than the carrying value for the asset.

Accrued rebates relate to several volume incentive programs the company offers its customers. The company accounts for these rebates as a reduction of revenue when the products are sold in accordance with the guidance in ASC 605-50, Customer Payments and Incentives.


Generally, the company's products are covered by warranties against defects in material and workmanship for various periods depending on the product from the date of sales to the customer. Certain components carry a lifetime warranty. A provision for estimated warranty cost is recorded at the time of sale based upon actual experience. In addition, the company has sold extended warranties that, while immaterial, require the company to defer the revenue associated with those warranties until earned. The company has established procedures to appropriately defer such revenue. The company continuously assesses the adequacy of its product warranty accrual and recordsmakes adjustments as needed. Historical analysis is primarily used to determine the company's warranty reserves. Claims history is reviewed and provisions are adjusted as needed. However, the company does consider other events, such as a product field actionsaction and recalls, which could warrantrequire additional warranty reserve provision.










Accrued rebates relate to several volume incentive programs the company offers its customers. The company accounts for these rebates as a reduction of revenue when the products are sold. Rebates are netted against gross accounts receivables. If rebates are in excess of such receivables, they are then classified as accrued expenses. The reduction in accrued rebates from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 primarily relates to payments principally made in the first quarter each year, earned from the previous year.

No sinking fund is provided for the 2026 Notes, which means the company is not required to redeem or retire the 2026 Notes periodically.

Holders of the 2026 Notes may convert their 2026 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 15, 2025 in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the company’s common shares for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than 130% of the conversion price for the 2026 Notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined in the Indenture) per one thousand U.S. dollar principal amount of 2026 Notes for each trading day of such measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the company’s common shares and the applicable conversion rate for the 2026 Notes on each such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the Indenture; or (4) if the company calls any or all of the 2026 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date. Holders of the 2026 Notes will have the right to require the company to repurchase all or some of their 2026 Notes at 100% of their principal, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes.

On or after September 15, 2025 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity of the 2026 Notes, holders may convert their 2026 Notes, at the option of the holder, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

Debt issuance costs of $7,305,000 were capitalized and are being amortized as interest expense through March 2026. Debt issuance costs are presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability.

The liability components of the 2026 Notes consist of the following (in thousands):
March 31, 2022December 31, 2021
Principal amount of liability component$125,000 $125,000 
Debt fees(5,609)(5,964)
Net carrying amount of liability component$119,391 $119,036 

Interest expense of $1,328,000 was accrued for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $236,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 based on the stated coupon rate of 4.25%. The effective interest rate of the 2026 Notes as of March 31, 2022 was 5.4%. The 2026 Notes were not convertible as of March 31, 2022 nor was the applicable conversion threshold met.

In March 2021, in connection with the pricing of the 2026 Notes, the company entered into capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain option counterparties. The company used $18,787,000 of the net proceeds of the private offering of the 2026 Notes to pay the cost of the Capped Call Transactions with the offset recorded to additional paid-in-capital.

The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the 2026 Notes and/or offset any cash payments the company is 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 the company’s common shares, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions, which is initially $10.57, corresponding to the initial conversion price of the 2026 Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. If, however, the market price per company common share, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions, which is initially $16.58 (subject to adjustments), there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Call Transactions expire March 15, 2026, subject to earlier exercise. There were 125,000 capped call options related to the 2026 Notes outstanding on March 31, 2022.

The company will not be required to make any cash payments to the option counterparties upon the exercise of the options that are a part of the Capped Call Transactions, but the company will be entitled to receive from the option counterparties a number of company common shares, an amount of cash or a combination thereof generally based on
38

Notes to Financial StatementsLong-Term Liabilities
Table of Contents
the amount by which the market price per company common share, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions during the relevant valuation period under the Capped Call Transactions. However, if the market price per Company common share, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions during such valuation period, the number of company common shares and/or the amount of cash the company expects to receive upon exercise of the Capped Call Transactions will be capped based on the amount by which the cap price exceeds the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions.

For any conversions of the 2026 Notes prior to September 15, 2025, a corresponding portion of the relevant Capped Call Transactions may be terminated at the company’s option. Upon any such termination, the company expects to receive from the option counterparties a number of company common shares, or, if the company so elects, subject to certain conditions, an amount of cash, in each case, with a value equal to the fair value of such portion of the relevant Capped Call Transactions being terminated, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the relevant Capped Call Transaction.

The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions, in each case, entered into by the company with the option counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the 2026 Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the 2026 Notes. Holders of the 2026 Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions.

Leases and Commitments

The company reviews new contracts to $67,000determine if the contracts include a lease. To the extent a lease agreement includes an extension option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the company has recognized those amounts as part of the right-of-use assets and $198,000lease liabilities. The company combines lease and certain non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, in the calculation of the lease assets and related liabilities. As most lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate, the company uses an incremental borrowing rate (IBR) based on information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments and to help classify the lease as operating or financing. The company calculates its IBR based on the secured rates of the company's recent debt issuances, the credit rating of the company, changes in currencies, lease repayment timing as well as other publicly available data.

The company leases a portion of its facilities, transportation equipment, data processing equipment and certain other equipment. These leases have terms from 1 to 20 years and provide for renewal options. Generally, the company is required to pay taxes and normal expenses associated with operating the facilities and equipment. As of March 31, 2022, the company is committed under non-cancelable leases, which have initial or remaining terms in excess of one year and expire on various dates through 2040.

On April 23, 2015, the company sold and leased back, under four separate lease agreements, four properties located in Ohio and one property in Florida for net proceeds of $23,000,000, which were used to reduce debt under the U.S. and Canadian Credit Facility. The initial total annual rent for the properties was $2,275,000 and can increase annually over the 20-year term of the leases based on the applicable geographical consumer price index (CPI). Each of the four lease agreements contains three 10-year renewals with the rent for each option term based on the greater of the then-current fair market rent for each property or the then- current rate and increasing annually by the applicable CPI. Under the terms of the lease agreements, the company is responsible for all taxes, insurance and utilities. The company is required to adequately maintain each of the properties and any leasehold improvements will be amortized over the lesser of the lives of the improvements or the remaining lease lives, consistent with any other company leases.

In connection with the transaction, the requirements for sale lease-back accounting were met. Accordingly, the company recorded the sale of the properties, removed the related property and equipment from the company's balance sheet, recognized an initial deferred gain of $7,414,000 and an immediate loss of $257,000 related to one property and recorded new lease liabilities. Specifically, the company
recorded four finance leases totaling $32,339,000 and one operating lease related to leased land, which was not a material component of the transaction. The gains on the sales of the properties were required to be deferred and recognized over the life of the leases as the property sold is being leased back. The deferred gain is classified under Other Long-Term Obligations on the consolidated balance sheet. The gains realized were $81,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.March 31, 2022 compared to $78,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Revenue

The company has two revenue streams: products and services. Services include repair, refurbishment, preventive maintenance and rental of products. Services for the North America segment include maintenance and repair of products. Services for the Europe segment include repair, refurbishment and preventive maintenance services. Services in All Other, are in the Asia Pacific region, and include rental and repair of products.

The following tables disaggregate the company’s revenues by major source and by reportable segment for the three ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 (in thousands):

% Split98%2%100%
The company's revenues are principally related to the sale of products, approximately 98%, with the remaining 2% related to services including repair, refurbishment, preventive maintenance and rental of products. While the company has a significant amount of contract types, the sales split by contract type is estimated as follows: general terms and conditions (30%), large national customers (23%), governments, principally pursuant to tender contracts (22%) and other customers including buying groups and independent customers (25%).

All product revenues and substantially all service revenues are recognized at a point in time. The remaining service revenue, recognized over time, are reflected in the Europe segment and include multiple performance obligations. For such contracts, the company allocates revenue to each
performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The company generally determines the standalone selling price based on the expected cost-plus margin methodology.    

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the company’s products and services. The amount of consideration received and revenue recognized by the company can vary as a result of variable consideration terms included in the contracts related to customer rebates, cash discounts and return policies. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration probable of not having a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized when related uncertainties are resolved. Customer rebates and cash discounts are estimated based on the most likely amount principle and these estimates are based on historical experience and anticipated performance. In addition, customers have the right to return products within the company’s normal terms policy, and as such the company estimates the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. The company adjusts its estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration it expects to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. The company generally does not expect that there will be significant changes to its estimates of variable consideration (refer to “Receivables” and "Accrued Expenses" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements include elsewhere in this report for more detail).

Depending on the terms of the contract, the company may defer the recognition of a portion of the revenue at the end of a reporting period to align with transfer of control of the company’s products to the customer. In addition, to the extent performance obligations are satisfied over time, the company defers revenue recognition until the performance obligations are satisfied. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the company had deferred revenue of $3,127,000 and $4,156,000, respectively, related to outstanding performance obligations with substantially all expected to be recognized as revenue within a year.

The company’s Board adopted the 2018 Plan in order to authorize additional Common Shares for grant as equity compensation, and to reflect changes to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
Following shareholder approval of the 2018 Plan, all of the Common Shares then-remaining available for issuance under the Invacare Corporation 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which was adopted on March 27, 2013 by and all of the company's BoardCommon Shares that were forfeited or remained unpurchased or undistributed upon termination or expiration of Directors (the “Board”).

Stock option awards granted in 2017 were performance-based awards which will only become exercisable if the performance goals established by the Compensation Committee are achieved over a 3-year period ending in 2019 and subject to the Compensation Committee's exercise of negative discretion to reduce the number of options vested based on the progress towards the company's transformation. The company expects the compensation expense to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years.

The 2018 Plan provides for a one-year minimum vesting period for stock options and, generally, options must be exercised within ten years from the date granted. All stock options issued in 2017 were performance-based and may vest after the conclusion of the performance period ending December 31, 2019 based on achievement of performance goals established by the Compensation Committee and subject to the Compensation Committee's exercise of negative discretion to reduce the number of options vested based on the progress towards the company's

For the stock options issued in 2014 and prior, 25% of such options vested one year following the issuance and provided a four-year vesting period whereby options vest in 25% installments in each year. Options granted with graded vesting were accounted for as single options.


Notes to Financial StatementsEquity Compensation

The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The calculated fair value of the 2017 performance option awards was $5.38 based on the following assumptions:
2017
Expected dividend yield0.4%
Expected stock price volatility39.1%
Risk-free interest rate2.31%
Expected life in years7.8
Forfeiture percentage5.0%

Expected dividend yield was based on historical dividends. Expected stock price volatility percentage was calculated at the date of grant based on historical stock prices for a period commensurate with the expected life of the option. The assumed expected life and forfeiture percentages were based on the company's historical analysis of option history.

Performance awards withhave a three-yearthree year performance period with payouts based on achievement of certain performance goals. The awards are classified as equity awards as they will be settled in common shares upon vesting. The number of shares earned will be determined at the end of the three-year performance period based on achievement of performance criteria for January 1, 20172020 through December 31, 20192022 and January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023, respectively established by the Compensation Committee at the time of grant.

the number of performance shares that vest based upon the levels of achievement which may range between 0% and 150% of the target number of shares with the target being 100% of the initial grant.


The fair value of the performance awards is based on the stock price on the date of grant discounted for the estimated value of dividends foregone as the awards are not eligible for dividends except to the extent vested. The grant fair value is further updated each reporting period while variable accounting applies. The company assesses the probability that the performance targets will be met with expense recognized whenever it is probable that at least the minimum performance criteria will be achieved. Depending upon the company's assessment of the probability of achievement of the goals, the company may not recognize any expense associated with performance awards in a given period, may reverse prior expense recorded or record additional expense to make up for expense not recorded in a prior period.recognize the cumulative estimated achievement level of proportionate term of the award.

A significant portion of products sold to dealers, both foreign and domestic, is ultimately funded through government reimbursement programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. The company has also seenChanges in these programs can have a significant shift in reimbursement to customers from managed care entities. Therefore,As a consequence, changes in these programs can have an adverse impact on dealer liquidity and profitability. In addition, reimbursement guidelines in the home health care industry have a substantial impact on the nature and type of equipment an end user can obtain as well as the timing of reimbursement and, thus, affect the product mix, pricing and payment patterns of the company’s customers.

Derivatives



ASC 815 requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheet as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value of a derivative is dependent upon whether or not the derivative has been designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment and the type of hedging relationship. For derivatives designated and qualifying as hedging instruments, the company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.


Cash Flow Hedging Strategy


The company uses derivative instruments in an attempt to manage its exposure to transactional foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk. Foreign forward exchange contracts are used to manage the price risk associated with forecasted sales denominated in foreign currencies and the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of inventory over the next twelve months.


The company recognizes its derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet measured at fair value. A majorityAll of the company’s derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item, if any, is recognized in current earnings during the period of change.








































To protect against increases/decreases in forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from inventory purchases/sales over the next year, the company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge portions of its forecasted purchases/sales denominated in foreign currencies. The gains and losses are included in cost of products sold and selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). If it is later determined that a hedged forecasted transaction is unlikely to occur, any prospective gains or losses on the forward contracts would be recognized in earnings. The company does not expect any material amount of hedge ineffectiveness related to forward contract cash flow hedges during the next twelve months.


The company has historically not recognized any material amount of ineffectiveness related to forward contract cash flow hedges because the company generally limits its hedges to between 50% and 90% of total forecasted transactions for a given entity’s exposure to currency rate changes and the transactions hedged are recurring in nature. Furthermore, most of the hedged transactions are related to intercompany sales and purchases for which settlement occurs on a specific day each month. Forward contracts with a total notional amount in USD of $45,421,000$10,666,000 and $126,456,000$26,667,000 matured forduring the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $59,663,000March 31, 2022 and $171,889,000 matured for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2021, respectively.

Derivatives Not Qualifying or Designated for Hedge Accounting Treatment


The company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedges in accordance with ASC 815. These contracts are entered into to eliminate the risk associated with the settlement of short-term intercompany trading receivables and payables between Invacare Corporation and its foreign subsidiaries. The currency forward contracts are entered into at the same time as the intercompany
receivables or payables are created so that upon settlement, the gain/loss on the settlement is offset by the gain/loss on the foreign currency forward contract. No material net gain or loss was realized by the company in 20172022 or 20162021 related to these contracts and the associated short-term intercompany trading receivables and payables.

The company's derivative agreements provide the counterparties with a right of set off in the event of a default thatdefault. The right of set off would enable the counterparty to offset any net payment due by the counterparty to the company under the applicable agreement by any amount due by the company to the counterparty under any other agreement. For example, the terms of the agreement would permit a counterparty to a derivative contract that is also a lender under the company's Credit Agreement to reduce any derivative settlement amounts owed to the company under the derivative contract by any amounts owed to the counterparty by the company under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the agreements contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a default by the company under the agreement in the event of a default by the company under another agreement with the same counterparty. The company does not present any derivatives on a net basis in its financial statements, other than the conversion and bond hedge derivatives which are presented net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss), and all derivative balances presented are subject to provisions that are similar to master netting agreements.

Fair Values



Pursuant to ASC 820, the inputs used to derive the fair value of assets and liabilities are analyzed and assigned a level I, II or III priority, with level I being the highest and level III being the lowest in the hierarchy. Level I inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.



Level II inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets:
quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. Level III inputs are based on valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The company, in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments, used the following methods and assumptions:


Cash, cash equivalents: The carrying value reported in the balance sheet for cash, cash equivalents equals its fair value.

Other investments: The company has made other investments in a limited partnership, which is accounted for using the cost method, adjusted for any estimated declines in value. These investments were acquired in private placements and there is no quoted market price or stated rate of return. The company does not have the ability to easily sell the investment. The company completes an evaluation of the residual value related to such investments in the fourth quarter each year.

Installment receivables: The carrying value reported in the balance sheet for installment receivables approximates its fair value. The interest rates associated with these receivables have not varied significantly since inception. Management believes that after consideration of the credit risk, the net book value of the installment receivables approximates market value.

Long-term debt: Fair value for the company’s convertible debt is based on quoted market-based estimates as of the end of the period, while the revolving credit facility fair value is based upon an estimate of the market for similar borrowing arrangements. The fair values are deemed to be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.1.


























Convertible debt derivatives: The fair values for the convertible debt conversion liability and note hedge derivatives are based on valuation models in which all the significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Forward contracts: Contracts: The company operates internationally, and as a result, is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Specifically, the exposure includes intercompany loans and third-party sales or payments. In an attempt to reduce this exposure, foreign currency forward contracts are utilized and accounted for as hedging instruments. The forward contracts are used to hedge the following currencies: AUD, CAD, CHF, CNY, DKK, EUR, GBP, MXP,MXN, NOK, NZD, SEK, THB, and USD. The company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Fair values for the company’s foreign exchange forward contracts are based on quoted market prices for contracts with similar maturities. The company’sfair values are deemed to be categorized as Level 2. The company's forward contracts are included in Other Current Assets or Accrued Expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.consolidated balance sheets.

Total debt: Fair value for the company’s convertible debt is based on quoted market-based estimates as of the end of the period, while the revolving credit facility fair value is based upon an estimate of the market for similar borrowing arrangements. The fair values are deemed to be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Other total debt is primarily attributable to credit facilities borrowings where the carrying value reported in the balance approximates its fair value.

Business Segments

The company operates in fourtwo primary business segments: North America/Home Medical Equipment (NA/HME), Institutional Products Group (IPG),America and Europe and Asia/Pacific. The NA/HME segment sellswith each of threeselling the company's primary product lines,categories, which includes:include: lifestyle, mobility and seating and respiratory therapy products. IPG sells long-term care medical equipment, health care furnishingsSales in Asia Pacific are reported in All Other and accessory products. Europe and Asia/Pacific sell product linesinclude products similar to NA/HMEthose sold in North America and IPG.Europe. The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies for the company’scompany's consolidated financial statements. Intersegment sales and transfers are based on the costs to manufacture plus a reasonable profit element.


Segment performance is measured and resources are allocated based on a number of factors, with the primary profitincome or loss measure being segment operating profitincome (loss). Segment operating profitincome (loss) represents net sales less cost of products sold less selling general and administrative expenses. Segment operating profitincome (loss)
excludes unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses not allocated to the segments and intersegment sales and profit eliminations, which are included in All Other. In addition, segment operating profitincome (loss) further excludes charges related to restructuring activities, asset write-downsimpairment and gain on sale of business (as applicable). The previous performance measure was earnings before income taxes. With the issuance of convertible debt during 2016, this performance measure has not been utilized by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) as the interest expense incurred by the company is related to the company’s financing decision to issue convertible debt as compared to the operating decisions resulting from allocation of resources and segment operating income performance. In addition, in 2016, the company included an operating income line on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) to emphasize the CODM’s emphasis on operating income (loss).
















As noted, thisThis performance measure, segment operating income (loss), is used by the CODMChief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to a segment and assessing its performance. In addition, this metric is reviewed by the company’scompany's Board of Directors regarding segment performance and is a key metric in the performance management assessment of the company's employees.

In the ordinary course of its business, the company is a defendant in a number of lawsuits, primarily product liability actions in which various plaintiffs seek damages for injuries allegedly caused by defective products. All of the product liability lawsuits that the company faces in the United States have been referred to the company's captive insurance company and/or excess insurance carriers while all non-U.S. lawsuits have been referred to the company's commercial insurance carriers. All such lawsuits are generally contested vigorously. The coverage territory of the company's insurance is worldwide with the exception of those countries with respect to which, at the time the product is sold for use or at the time a claim is made, the U.S. government has suspended or prohibited diplomatic or trade relations. The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures.

As a medical device manufacturer, the company is subject to extensive government regulation, including numerous laws directed at preventing fraud and abuse and laws regulating reimbursement under various government programs. The marketing, invoicing, documenting, developing, testing, manufacturing, labeling, promoting, distributing and other practices of health care suppliers and medical device manufacturers are all subject to government scrutiny. Most of the company's facilities are subject to inspection at any time by the FDA or similar medical device regulatory agencies in other jurisdictions. Violations of law or regulations can result in administrative, civil and criminal penalties and sanctions, which could have a material adverse effect on the company's business.

Medical Device Regulatory Matters

The FDA in the United States and comparable medical device regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions regulate virtually all aspects of the marketing, invoicing, documenting, development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, promotion, distribution and other practices regarding medical devices. The company and its products are subject to the laws and regulations of the FDA and other regulatory bodies in the various jurisdictions where the company's products are manufactured or sold. The company's failure to comply with the regulatory requirements of the FDA and other applicable medical device regulatory requirements can subject the company to administrative or judicially imposed sanctions or
enforcement actions. These sanctions include injunctions, consent decrees, warning letters, civil penalties, criminal penalties, product
seizure or detention, product recalls and total or partial suspension of production.
In December 2012, the company became subject to a consent decree of injunction filed by the FDA with respect to the company's Corporate facility and its Taylor Street manufacturing facility in Elyria, Ohio. The consent decree initially limited the company's (i) manufacture and distribution of power and manual wheelchairs, wheelchair components and wheelchair sub-assemblies at or from its Taylor Street manufacturing facility ("Taylor Street products") , except in verified cases of medical necessity, (ii) design activities related to wheelchairs and power beds that take place at the impacted Elyria Ohio facilities and (iii) replacement, service and repair of products already in use from the Taylor Street manufacturing facility. Under the terms of the consent decree, in order to resume full operations, at the impacted facilities, the company had to successfully complete independent, third-party expert certification audits at the impacted Elyria facilities, comprised ofcomprising three distinct certification reports separately submitted to, and subject to acceptance by, the FDA. The last of these reports was accepted by the FDA during the second quarter of 2017, after which the company submittedFDA; submit its own report to the FDA,FDA; and successfully complete a reinspection by the FDA initiated a reinspection of the company’scompany's Corporate and Taylor Street facilities. At the conclusion of the inspection, the FDA issued its inspectional observations on Form 483, and the company timely filed its response.
On July 24, 2017, following its June 2017 reinspection of the Corporate and Taylor Street facilities, the FDA notified the company that it iswas in substantial compliance with the FDA's Quality System Regulation ("QSR")FDA Act, FDA regulations and the terms of the consent decree and, that the company iswas permitted to resume full operations at those facilities including the resumption of unrestricted sales of products made in those facilities.
The consent decree will continue in effect for at least five years from July 24, 2017, during which time the company's Corporate and Taylor Street facilities.
facilities must complete two semi-annual audits in the first year and then four annual audits in the next four years performed by an independent company-retained audit firm. The consent decree requires the company to undergo five years of audits by a third-party expert auditor selected by the company toaudit firm will determine whether the facilities areremain in continuous compliance with FDA's QSRthe Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act ("FDA Act"), FDA regulations and the terms of the consent decree. The third-party expert willdecree and issue post audit reports contemporaneously to the CorporateFDA, and Taylor Street facilities’ activities every six months during the first year following the July 25, 2017 resumption of full operations and then every 12 months for the next four years thereafter. The FDA has the authority to inspect these facilities and any other FDA registered facility, at any time.
The FDA has continued to actively inspect the company’scompany's facilities, other than through the processes established under the consent decree. Recent inspections for which follow-up remains ongoing are summarized in the following paragraphs. The FDA has informed the company of further upcoming inspections to its facilities, and the company believes that additional inspections beyond those for which it has been notified will likely occur in the near future. Accordingly, the company expects that the FDA will, from time to time, inspect substantially all of the company's domestic and foreign FDA-registered facilities.

company's domestic and foreign FDA-registered operational facilities.
In November 2017, the2021, FDA inspectedconducted an inspection of the company’s Top End facility in Pinellas Park, FloridaCorporate and Taylor Street facilities from May 25 through June 24, 2021.At the close of the inspection, six FDA Form 483 observations were issued, itsand the company timely responded to FDA, has diligently taken actions to address FDA’s inspectional observations, and has provided FDA monthly updates on Form 483. The company intendsthe corrective actions taken to submit its responses to the agency in a timely manner.
In September 2017, Alber GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary ofaddress these observations.On November 18, 2021, the company received a warning letter from the FDA. The warning letter requires completionFDA concerning certain of corrective actions to address the inspectional observations in the June 2021 FDA Form 483 observations following an inspection of Alber’s facility in Albstadt, Germany in May 2017. As a consequence ofrelated to the warning letter, Alber Twion Power Assist devices will not be imported intocomplaint handling process, the United States until all findings are corrected to FDA’s satisfaction. Althoughcorrective and preventive action (“CAPA”) process, and medical device reporting (“MDR”) associated with oxygen concentrators (the “Warning Letter”).On November 16, 2021, the company does not expect this action to havereceived a significant impact on its financial results, it takes FDA’s observations very seriously and is working diligently to address these observations and respond to FDA’s warning letter in a timely manner. The Albstadt facility was previously inspected by the FDA in August 2014.
In October 2014, the FDA inspected the company’s facility in Sanford, Florida and issued its inspectional observations on Form 483, and the company timely filed its response. The Sanford facility is the subject of a warningconsent decree non-compliance letter from the FDA issuedconcerning the same complaint and CAPA handling matters as in the Warning Letter observations but associated with the Taylor Street products (this letter, together with the Warning Letter, the “FDA Letters”). The company timely responded to the FDA Letters, has diligently taken actions to address FDA’s concerns, and has provided FDA with periodic updates on the corrective actions taken to address the matters in the FDA Letters. The company in December 2010 relatedremains committed to quality systems processes and procedures andresolving the FDA’s concerns; however, it is not possible to predict the outcome or timing of a resolution at this time. There can be no assurance that the FDA will be satisfied with the company’s responses to the FDA Letters, nor any assurance as to the timeframe that may be required for the company continues to work on addressingadequately address the FDA’s citations.concerns or whether the matters in the FDA Letters will result in an extension in the duration of the consent decree. As of the date of filing of the company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there has been no impact on the Company’s ability to produce and market its products as a result of the FDA Letters.

Under the consent decree, the FDA has the authority to order the company to take a wide variety of actions if the FDA finds that the company is not in compliance with the consent decree, FDA Act or FDA regulations, including requiring the company to cease all operations relating to Taylor Street products. The FDA also can order the company to undertake a partial cessation of operations or a recall, issue a safety alert, public health advisory, or press release, or to take any other corrective action the FDA deems necessary with respect to Taylor Street products.

The FDA also has authority under the consent decree to assess liquidated damages of $15,000 per violation per day for any violations of the consent decree, FDA regulations or the FDA Act. The FDA also may assess liquidated damages for shipments of adulterated or misbranded devices in the amount of twice the sale price of any such adulterated or misbranded device. The liquidated damages, if assessed, are limited to a total of $7,000,000 for each calendar year. The authority to
assess liquidated damages is in addition to any other remedies otherwise available to the FDA, including civil money penalties.
The results of regulatory claims, proceedings, investigations, or litigation are difficult to predict. An unfavorable resolution or outcome of the FDA Letters, any other FDA warning letters or inspectional observations, or other FDA enforcement related to company facilities, could materially and adversely affect the company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The limitations previously imposed by the FDA consent decree negatively affected net sales in the NA/HMENorth America segment and, to a certain extent, the Asia/Asia Pacific segmentregion beginning in 2012. The limitations led to delays in new product introductions. Further, uncertainty regarding how long the limitations would be in effect limited the company’scompany's ability to renegotiate and bid on certain customer contracts and otherwise led to a decline in customer orders.
While the FDA did notifyAlthough the company on July 24, 2017 that it washas been permitted to resume full operations at the Corporate and Taylor Street facilities, the negative effect of the consent decree on customer orders and net sales in the NA/HMENorth America segment and Asia/Asia Pacific segmentsregion has been considerable, and it is uncertain as to whether, or how quickly, the company will be able to rebuild net sales to more typical historical levels, irrespective of market conditions. Accordingly, when compared to the company's 2010historic results, the previous limitations in the consent decree had, and
likely may continue to have, a material adverse effect on the company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Separately, net sales in the NA/HME segment have likely been impacted by uncertainty on the part of the company's customers as they coped with prepayment reviews and post-payment audits by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") and the impact of the National Competitive Bidding ("NCB") process. In addition, net sales in the NA/HME segment have and may continue to decline as a result of the company's strategic focus away from lower margin, less differentiated products as the company becomes more focused on its clinically complex products.
As described above, because the previous limitations on production imposed by the FDA consent decree were not permanent in nature, and partial production was allowed, the company does not anticipate any major repair, replacement or scrapping of its fixed assets at the Taylor Street manufacturing facility. Based on the company's expectations at the time of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with respect to the utilization of raw material and with respect to expected future cash flows from production at the Taylor Street manufacturing facility, the company concluded that there was no impairment in the value of the fixed assets related to the Taylor Street manufacturing facility at September 30, 2017.
The majority of the production from the Taylor Street facility is "made to order" customized wheelchairs for customers and, as a result, there was not a significant amount of finished goods inventory on hand at September 30, 2017, and the inventory is expected to be fully utilized. Accordingly, the company concluded that there was not an impairment of the work in process and finished goods at the Taylor Street facility at September 30, 2017. Further, based on its analysis of the raw material inventory at the Taylor Street facility and the company's receipt of FDA's notification that the company can resume full operations at the affected facilities, the company concluded that the value of the inventory was not excessive nor impaired at September 30, 2017.Warranty Matters
The company's warranty reserves are subject to adjustment in future periods based on historical analysis of warranty claims and as new developments occur that may change the company's estimates related to specific product recalls. SeeRefer to Current Liabilities in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the total provision amounts and a reconciliation of the changes in the warranty accrual.
Any of the above contingencies could have an adverse impact on the company's financial condition or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskRisk.

The company is at times exposed to market risk through various financial instruments, including fixed rate and floating rate debt instruments. Based on March 31, 2022 debt levels, a 1% change in interest rates would have no impact on annual interest expense as the company did not have any variable rate debt outstanding. Additionally, the company operates internationally and, as a result, is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Specifically, the exposure results from intercompany loans, intercompany sales or payments and third-party sales or payments. In an attempt to reduce this exposure, foreign currency forward contracts are utilized to hedge intercompany purchases and sales as well as third-party purchases and sales. The company does not believe that any potential loss related to these financial instruments would have a material adverse effect on the company's financial condition or results of company's Annual Reportoperations.

The company is party to the Credit Agreement which was originally entered into on Form 10-KJanuary 16, 2015 and matures in January 2024, as extended by an amendment to the Credit Agreement which became effective on May 29, 2020. Accordingly, while the company is exposed to increases in interest rates, its exposure to the volatility of the current market environment is currently limited until the Credit Agreement expires. The Credit Agreement contains customary default provisions, with certain grace periods and exceptions, which provide that events of default that include, among other things, failure to pay amounts due, breach of covenants, representations or warranties, bankruptcy, the occurrence of a material adverse effect, exclusion from any medical reimbursement program, and an interruption of any material manufacturing facilities for more than ten consecutive days. Should the period ending December 31, 2016.company fail to comply with these requirements, the company would potentially have to attempt to obtain alternative financing and thus likely be required to pay much higher interest rates.
