Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


The discussion and analysis presented below is concerned with material changes in financial condition and results of operations between the periods specified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, and in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 20182019 and June 30, 2017.2018. All comparisons presented are with respect to the same period last year, unless otherwise stated. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the MD&A included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 and for some matters, SEC filings from prior periods may be useful sources of information.








In the first quarter of 2019, the company reassessed the alignment of its reporting segments and concluded that the North America/Home Medical Equipment (NA/HME) and Institutional Products Group (IPG) segments should be combined into a single operating segment, now referred to as North America. This change better reflects how the company manages, allocates resources and assesses performance of the businesses contained in the new North America segment. Additionally, the company reassessed the activity of the businesses in its former Asia/Pacific segment and concluded that the Asia Pacific businesses should be reported as part of the All Other segment, since those businesses, individually and collectively, are not large enough relative to the company's overall business to merit disclosure as a separate reporting segment. The company believes that these changes provide improved transparency of the company’s business results to its shareholders, and better align with how the company manages its businesses. Segment results for 2018 have been reclassified to reflect the realignment of the company’s reporting segments and be comparable to the segment results for 2019.
OVERVIEW


Invacare is a multi-national company with integrated capabilities to design, producemanufacture and distribute durable medical equipment.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’scompany's products and solutions are important parts of care for people with a range of challenges, from those who are active and go toinvolved 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/Asia Pacific, which are the result of dozens of acquisitions made over the company’scompany's nearly forty-year history. Some of these acquisitions have been combined into integrated operating units, while others remain relatively independent.


Strategy
The company had a strategy to be a leading provider of durable medical equipment to 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 in recent years.challenges. Since 2015, the company has made a major shift in its strategy. The company has since been aligning its resources to produce products and solutions that address theassist customers and end-users with their most clinically complex needs thereby increasing the value of the company's offering.needs. 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, the company is undertaking a substantial three-phase multi-year transformation plan.


Transformation
The company has beenis executing a multi-year transformation to shift to its new strategy, especially in North America.strategy. This is expected to yield better financial results from the application of the company’scompany's resources to products and solutions that provide greater healthcare value in clinically complex rehabilitation and post-acute care. The transformation is divided into the following three phases:

Phase One - Assess and Reorient

STATUS OF THE CONSENT DECREE

Phase Three - Grow
On July 24, 2017, following its reinspectionLead in quality culture and operations excellence; and
Grow above market.
The company's transformation and growth plan balances innovative organic growth, product portfolio changes across all regions, and cost improvements in supply chain and administrative functions. The company has engaged third-party experts to help assess, plan and support the execution of improvement opportunities, in an effort to ensure the best plans are adopted across the entire enterprise.
Key elements of the Corporateenhanced transformation and Taylor Street facilities,growth plan:
Re-evaluate all business segments and product lines for the Foodpotential to be profitable and Drug Administration ("FDA") notifiedto achieve a leading market position given evolving market dynamics;
In Europe, leverage centralized innovation and supply chain capabilities while reducing the company that it wascost and complexity of a legacy infrastructure;
In North America, adjust the portfolio to support consistent profitable growth, drive faster innovation, and redesign business processes to lower cost and improve customers' experience;
In Asia Pacific, remain focused on sustainable growth and expansion in substantial compliance with the Federal Food, Drugsoutheast Asia region; and Cosmetic Act ("FDA Act"), FDA regulations
Globally, take actions to reduce working capital and the terms of the consent decree and, at that time, the company was permitted to resume full operations at those facilities including the resumption of unrestricted sales of products made in those facilities.improve free cash flow.


The consent decree will continue in effect for a minimum of five years from July 2017, during which time the company’s Corporate and Taylor Street facilities must complete two semi-annual audits in the first year and then annual audits over the next four years performed by a company-retained expert audit firm. The expert audit firm will determine whether the facilities remain in continuous compliance with the FDA Act, regulations and the terms of the consent decree. The FDA has the authority to inspect these facilities and any other FDA registered facility, at any time.

For a complete description of the consent decree, see the “Contingencies” note to the financial statements contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Forward-Looking Statements” contained below in this Item.

OUTLOOK

As part of the company's transformation, the company expectsintends to continue to make significant investments strategicallyin its transformation, reduce sales in certain areas, refocus resources away from less accretive activities, and evaluatelook at its global infrastructure for opportunities to drive efficiency.

Favorable Long-term Demand

Ultimately, demand for the company's products and services is based on the need to provide care for people with certain conditions. The company's medical devices provide solutions for end-users and caregivers. Therefore, the demand for the company's medical equipment is largely driven by population growth and the incidence of certain conditions where treatment may be supplemented by the company's devices. The company expectsalso provides solutions to see improved results in 2018 from actions executed to datehelp equipment providers and additional actions as theresidential care operators deliver cost-effective and high-quality care. The company believes that its commercial team, customer relationships, products and solutions, supply chain infrastructure, and strong research and development pipeline will create favorable business potential.

OUTLOOK

The company continues to streamline operations, resizeexpect to achieve the earnings and reshapefree cash flow usage targets announced for 2019 and into 2020 with a combination of low single-digit sales growth, gross margin improvements and substantial cost reductions. Certain product lines may be discontinued to focus investment on higher margin profitable areas of growth. The company participates in growing markets and believes its long-term economic potential remains strong.

For 2019, the organization,company anticipates net sales growth in Europe and North America mobility and seating products, which is anticipated to be offset by, the previously announced, expected year-over-year reduction in respiratory sales in North America impacted by market uncertainty due to recently implemented reimbursement changes. In addition, the company anticipates margin expansion as a result of cost improvement actions. These actions should contribute to improved earnings in 2019.

As a result of the successful implementation of strategic improvement initiatives, the company anticipates an improvement in free cash flow usage for 2019 as compared to 2018 driven by improvements in segment operating loss compared to 2018, and the benefit of converting the higher inventory levels at the end of 2018 to cash in 2019. It further assumes that these benefits will be partially offset by increased working capital to support growth, especially in North America around its new business mix and size. By executing this strategy and making these operational improvements, the company expects long-term benefits for the company’s stakeholders. The company’s pursuit of profitable sales growth and cost reductions are expected to drive its longer-term goal of improved operating income and positive Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization.












Positive sales growth in mobility and seating products both year-over-yearwith an extended quote-to-cash cycle, higher capital expenditures, and sequentially, is a key metric and an indicatorcash needed to fund restructuring actions. The company has historically generated negative free cash flow during the first half of the progressyear. This pattern continued in 2019 due to the timing of annual one-time payments such as customer rebates and employee bonuses earned during the prior year, and higher working capital usage from seasonal inventory increases. The absence of these payments and somewhat seasonally stronger sales in the second half of the transformationyear typically result in more favorable free cash flow in the second half of the North America/Home Medical Equipment (NA/HME) segment.year. The company expects capital expenditures of approximately $15,000,000 to increase Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") investment for the remainder of the year to stimulate growth and brand awareness for its portable oxygen concentrator. In the Institutional Products Group (IPG) segment,$20,000,000 in 2019.

Furthermore, the company does not anticipate sequential sales growth this year as it expectsbelieves that a return to positive Adjusted EBITDA driven by operational performance and its new strategic selling approach to continue to take time to yield results. As noted previously,balance sheet will support the company's transformation plans and enable the company is gradually applying the transformation to the Europe segment, which may continue to reduce the segment's sales throughout the remainder of 2018 as it shifts its product mix toward more clinically valued, higher-margin products.

The company remains positive about the growth potential of its businesses. Results of mobility and seating and lifestyles product categories reflect this. Good products and stable markets in other areas support the transformation we are executing in Europe and IPG and in the respiratory product category. In the near-term, the company anticipates an unfavorable impact on its results due to increases in tariffs and freight costs. The specific impact is not currently estimated as policy and commodity prices are only beginning to be implemented and management has not estimated its ability to offset any increases with internal actions. SG&A will increase somewhat, especially in NA/HME as the company undertakes the promotion of certain product categories, including its respiratory products. The company will continue to make capital investments to grow the business. Working capital will expand as the business grows, especially in support of increases in mobility and seating sales, which require substantial working capital and demonstration units to be effective. The company continues to estimate that cash flow in 2018 will be similar to 2017 including increased capital spending. The company believes its cash balances and available borrowing capacity should be sufficient to fund its transformation.

The company will continue to emphasize a culture of quality excellence, profitable sales growth and the achievement of its long-term objectives.address future debt maturities.

The table above provides net sales change as reported and as adjusted to exclude the impact of foreign exchange translation (constant currency net sales). “Constant currency net sales" is a non-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. “Constant
“Constant currency sequential net sales”sales,” as shown on the next page, is a non-GAAP financial measure in which a given quarter’s net sales are compared to the most recent prior quarter’s net sales with each quarter’s net sales translated at the foreign exchange rates for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.2019. Management believes that both financial measures provide meaningful information for evaluating the core operating performance of the company.

Constant currency net sales performance drivers by segment:

Europe - TheConstant currency net sales increased in 2Q19 compared to 2Q18 driven by increases in mobility and seating partially offset by decreased sales of lifestyle and respiratory products. Constant currency YTD 2Q19 net sales increased compared to YTD 2Q18 due to increases in mobility and seating and lifestyle products partially offset by decreased sales of respiratory products.
North America - Constant currency net sales for 2Q19 decreased compared to 2Q18 primarily as as result of declines in respiratory product due to reimbursement changes, as anticipated. Constant currency respiratory product net sales declined $4.4 million for 2Q19 compared to 2Q18, impacted by reimbursement changes by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, effective January 1, 2019. Lifestyle product constant currency net sales increased, partially offset by lower mobility and seating constant currency net sales. The YTD 2Q19 decrease in constant currency net sales compared to the same periods last year wereYTD 2Q2018 was driven primarily by all product categories as the company gradually applies its transformation strategy to this segment to focusdecreased respiratory sales, which declined $12.1 million on more clinically valued, higher-margin products.a constant currency basis.



North America/Home Medical Equipment (NA/HME)All Other -
Constant currency net sales, which relate entirely to the Asia Pacific region, decreased for 2Q19 compared to 2Q18 increased, driven largely by net sales decreases in mobility and seating and lifestyle product, partially offset by higher respiratory sales. The 2Q19 net sales were impacted by a slowdown in reimbursement in New Zealand as a result of the government's fiscal year end. The YTD 2Q19 constant currency net sales increase compared to the same period last year was driven by net sales increases in mobility and seating products as the company continued to benefit from exiting the injunctive phase of the consent decree. Respiratory product sales declined compared to 2Q17 in stationary concentrators and HomeFill® systems partially offset by an increase in portable oxygen concentrators. The YTD 2Q18 decline in constant currency net sales compared to the first half last year was driven by all product categories except for mobility and seatingrespiratory products.

Institutional Products Group (IPG) - Constant currency 2Q18 and YTD 2Q18 net sales decreased compared to the same periods last year principally due to lower bed product sales which were negatively impacted by a 2Q18 supply disruption that was resolved by the end of 2Q18.

Asia/Pacific - Constant currency net sales increased for 2Q18 and YTD 2Q18 compared to the same periods last year principally driven by net sales increases for mobility and seating products.

Debt repayments, acquisitions, divestitures, the timing of vendor payments, the timing of customer rebate payments, the granting of extended payment terms to significant national accounts and other activity can have a significant impact on the company's cash flow and borrowings outstanding such that the cash reported at the end of a given period may be materially different than cash levels during a given period. While the company has cash balances in various jurisdictions around the world, there are no material restrictions regarding the use of such cash for dividends within the company, loans or other purposes, except in China where the cash balance, as of June 30, 2018,2019, was $2,243,000.$411,000. The company continues the procedural discontinuationprocess of eliminating its discontinued operations there, which until completed, restricts access to certain cash balances.

As a result of implementing ASU 2016-02, "Leases" as of January 1, 2019, the company recorded operating lease liabilities which totaled $21,393,000 as of June 30, 2019. See "Long-Term Debt" and "Leases and Commitments" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details regarding the company's convertible notes and credit facilities.facilities and lease liabilities, respectively.




Based on the company's current expectations, the company believes that its cash balances and available borrowing capacity under its credit facilities should be sufficient to meet working capital needs, capital requirements, and commitments for at least


the next twelve months. Notwithstanding the company's expectations, if the company's operating results declinedecrease as the result of pressures on the business due to, for example, currency fluctuations or regulatory issues or the company's failure to execute its business plans or if the company's transformation takes longer than expected, the company may require additional financing, or may be unable to comply with its obligations under the credit facilities, and its lenders could demand repayment of any amounts outstanding under the company's credit facilities.


The company also has an agreement with De Lage Landen, Inc. (“DLL”), a third-party financing company, to provide lease financing to the company's U.S. customers. Either party could terminate this agreement with 180 days' notice or 90 days' notice by DLL upon the occurrence of certain events. Should this agreement be terminated, the company's borrowing needs under its credit facilities could increase.


While there is general concern about the potential for risingShould interest rates increase, the company expects that it willwould be able to absorb modest rate increases in the months ahead without any material impact on its liquidity or capital resources. The weighted average interest rate on revolving credit borrowings, excluding capital leases, was 4.78% for the for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 4.84%2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES


The company estimates that capital investments for 20182019 could approximate between $20,000,000$15,000,000 and $25,000,000,$20,000,000, compared to actual capital expenditures of $14,569,000$9,823,000 in 2017.2018. The anticipated increase relates primarily to the company's planned investments to transform the company. The termscompany believes that its balances of the company's creditcash and cash equivalents and existing borrowing facilities limitwill be sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements and fund required capital expenditures (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources"). The Credit Agreement limits the company's annual capital expenditures to $35,000,000. As of June 30, 2018,2019, the company hashad no material capital expenditure commitments outstanding, consisting primarily of computer systems contracts. See Item 7.

Cash flows used by financing activities in the first six months of 2018 are primarily attributable to dividends andhigher payments on capital leases. Cash flows provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2017 reflect net proceeds received due to the issuance of the company's Convertible Senior Notes due 2022, including the net proceeds used for the related convertible note hedge transactions, payment of financing costs and warrants. These proceeds were partially offset by the repayment of $13,350,000 in aggregate principal amount of the company's convertible debentures due 2027.

Free cash flow for the first six months 20182019 and 20172018 was negatively impacted by the same items that affected cash flows used by operating activities. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is comprised of net cash used by operating activities plus purchases of property and equipment less proceeds from sales of property and equipment. Management believes that this financial measure provides meaningful information for evaluating the overall financial performance of the company and
its ability to repay debt or make future investments (including acquisitions, etc.).

With the anticipation of commercial effectiveness and resulting sales growth, the company expects increased working capital which, if realized, would support investments for growth, especially growth of NA/HME mobility and seating products. This would include investments in demonstration units and SG&A expense, and support the extended quote to cash process for power wheelchairs. Generally, the first half of the year is cash consumptive and impacted by significant disbursements related to annual customer rebate payments which normally occur in the first quarter of the year and, to lesser extent, into the second quarter of the year. In addition, the second quarter of the year represents the period annual employee bonuses are paid, if earned. Investment in inventory is historically heavy in the first half of the year with planning around the company's supply chain to fulfill shipments in the second half of the year and can be impacted by footprint rationalization projects. The company also expects to increase its capital expenditures in 2018 as compared to the investment level in 2017. As a result, historically, the company realizes stronger cash flow in the second half of the year versus the first half of the year. On that basis and considering anticipated increased working capital spending,investment as a result of anticipated sales growth in the second half of the year and higher capital expenditures, the company anticipates its cash flow usage and seasonality for 20182019 will be similar to 2017.2018, with full year 2019 cash flow usage estimated to be at or below approximately $25 million.

The company's approximate cash conversion days at June 30, 2018,2019, December 31, 20172018 and June 30, 20172018 are as follows:
chart-b52a6fc3faba58889ad.jpgchart-43850dc446065da8aa0.jpg
The increase in the most current quarter days in receivables compared to prior periods was driven by higher receivables in the quarter ended June 30, 2018 comparedwere comparable to the prior periods shown and impacted by the sales growth in mobility and seating products, which can have extended collection terms than other products. The days in inventory increased from the seasonal low at December 31, 2017. Thesame period a year ago while days in inventory for the quarter ended June 30, 20182019 were favorable to the quarter ended June 30, 20172018 due to better inventory velocity over the prior year.management.


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 ESTIMATES AND PRONOUNCEMENTS


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES


The Consolidated Financial Statements included in the report include accounts of the company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnotes. In preparing the financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, thus, actual results could differ from these estimates. Please refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates section within MD&A of company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 20172018 as well as the revenue recognition and warranty disclosure below.


Revenue Recognition


The company recognizes revenues when control of the product or service is transferred to unaffiliated customers. Revenues from Contracts with Customers, ASC 606, provides guidance on the application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition issues. The company has concluded that its revenue recognition policy is appropriate and in accordance with GAAP under ASC 606.


All of the company’scompany's product-related contracts, and a portion related to services, have a single performance obligation, which is the promise to transfer an individual good or service, with revenue recognized at a point in time. Certain service-related contracts contain multiple performance obligations that require the company to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation. For such contracts, the company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price at inception of the contract. The company determined the standalone selling price based on the expected cost-plus margin methodology. Revenue related to the service contracts with multiple performance obligations is recognized over time. To the extent performance obligations are satisfied over time, the company defers revenue recognition until the performance obligations are satisfied.






The determination of when and how much revenue to recognize can require the use of significant judgment. 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’scompany's products and services to the customer.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring the product or providing services. The amount of consideration received and recognized as revenue by the company can vary as a result of variable consideration terms included in the contracts such as customer rebates, cash discounts and return policies. 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. Customers have the right to return product within the company’scompany'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 the company 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 (see Receivables in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements include elsewhere in this report).


Depending on the terms of the contract, the company may defer recognizing a portion of the revenue at the end of a given period as the result of title transfer terms that are based upon delivery and or acceptance which align with transfer of control of the company’scompany's products to its customers.


Sales are made only to customers with whom the company believes collection is reasonably assured based upon a credit analysis, which may include obtaining a credit application, a signed security agreement, personal guarantee and/or a cross corporate guarantee depending on the credit history of the customer. Credit lines are established for new customers after an evaluation of their credit report and/or other relevant financial information. Existing credit lines are regularly reviewed and adjusted with consideration given to any outstanding past due amounts.


The company records distributed product sales gross as a principal since the company takes title to the products and has the risks of loss for collections, delivery and returns. The company’scompany's payment terms are for relatively short periods and thus do not contain any element of financing. Additionally, no contract costs are incurred that would require capitalization and amortization.


MD&AAccounting Estimates and Pronouncements

Sales, value-added, and other taxes the company collects concurrent with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of products sold.


MD&AAccounting Estimates and Pronouncements
Table of Contents

The majority of the company’scompany's warranties are considered assurance-type warranties and continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold (see Current Liabilities in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements include elsewhere in this report). These warranties cover against defects in material and workmanship for various periods depending on the product from the date of sale to the customer. Certain components carry a lifetime warranty. In addition, the company has sold extended warranties that, while immaterial, require the company to defer the revenue associated with those warranties until earned. A provision for estimated warranty cost is recorded at the time of sale based upon actual experience. The company continuously assesses the adequacy of its product warranty accruals and makes adjustments as needed. Historical analysis is primarily used to determine the company’scompany's warranty reserves. Claims history is reviewed and provisions are adjusted as needed. However, the company does consider other events, such as a product recall, which could require additional warranty reserve provisions. See Accrued Expenses in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of the changes in the warranty accrual. 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.

Accounting Policies



Principles of Consolidation:  The 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 June 30, 20182019 and the results of its operations and changes in its cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. Certain foreign subsidiaries, represented by the European segment, are consolidated using a May 31 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 six months ended June 30, 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


Use of Estimates:  The 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.


Accounts Receivable: The company records accounts receivable when control of the product or service transfers to its unaffiliated customers, risk of loss is passed and title is transferred. The estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts is based primarily on management's evaluation of the financial condition of specific customers. The company records accounts receivable reserves for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The company writes off accounts receivable when it becomes apparent, based upon customer circumstances, that such amounts will not be collected and when legal remedies are exhausted.

Reserves for customer bonus 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 estimates the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience and adjusts revenue accordingly.





Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Already Adopted):

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which replaces numerous requirements in U.S. GAAP and provides companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing 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 previous 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.

Effective January 1, 2018, the company adopted the new accounting standard, and all the related amendments, on a modified retrospective basis, with no cumulative effect adjustment to equity needed. Upon adoption, the standard did not have a material impact on the company's results of operations or cash flows nor does the company expect it to have a material impact on future periods. Pursuant to ASU 2014-09, revenues are recognized as control transfers to the customers, which is consistent with the prior revenue recognition model and the prior accounting for the vast majority of the company's contracts. While the company does have a minor amount of service business for which revenue is recognized over time as compared to a point in time, the company’s process to estimate the amount of revenue to be recognized did not change as a result of the implementation of the new standard.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Not Yet Adopted):

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 iswas effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption iswas permitted. The company continuesadopted ASU 2016-02, effective on January 1, 2019, using the optional transitional method in which periods prior to assess2019 were not restated. The company elected to apply the impactpackage of practical expedients in which lease identification, classification and treatment of initial direct costs was retained, and recognized right of use lease assets and liabilities for all leases with a lease term of greater than a year. The company completed an assessment of its systems, data and processes related to implementing the standard and completed its information system design and solution development as well as the development of related internal controls. As a result of adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the company's financial statements. Whilethis standard, the company has not finalized its assessmentrecorded $23,420,000 in operating lease right of the impact of ASU 2016-02, the company does expect the standard to have a significant impactuse assets offset by lease liabilities on the company's consolidated balance sheets as the company will be required to record assets and liabilities related to its operating leases.sheets. The standard isdid not expected to have a material impact on the Company'scompany's results of operations or cash flows.







In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects From Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which allows reclassification of certain tax effects created as a result of changing methodologies, laws and tax rates legislated in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the Act). This new standard allows for stranded income tax effects resulting from the Act to be reclassified into retained earnings to allow for their tax effect to reflect the appropriate tax rate.  Due to the full valuation allowance on our U.S. net deferred tax assets, a reclassification of stranded tax effects to retained earnings was not required.

Reclassifications: Finance lease assets and related long-term liabilities have been reclassified from Property and Equipment, net and Long-Term Debt, respectively, to Finance Lease Assets, net and Long-term Obligations - Financing Leases, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2018 to conform with the presentation for 2019.

In the first quarter of 2019, the company reassessed the alignment of its reporting segments and concluded that the former North America/Home Medical Equipment (NA/HME) and Institutional Products Group (IPG) segments should be combined into a single operating segment, now referred to as North America. This change better reflects how the company manages, allocates resources and assesses performance of the businesses contained in the new North America segment. Additionally, the company reassessed the activity of the businesses in its former Asia/Pacific segment and concluded that the Asia Pacific businesses should be reported as part of the All Other segment, since those businesses, individually and collectively, are not large enough relative to the company's overall business to merit disclosure as a separate reporting segment. The company believes that these changes provide improved transparency of the company’s business results to its shareholders, and better align with how the company manages its businesses. Segment results for 2018 have been reclassified to reflect the realignment of the company’s reporting segments and be comparable to the segment results for 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Not Yet Adopted):
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 2016-13 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.

Reserves for customer bonusrebates 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 estimates the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience and adjusts revenue accordingly. The decrease in customer rebates reserve from December 31, 20172018 to June 30, 20182019 was primarily the result of rebate payments, the majority of which are paid in the first quarter of each year.


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 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. As a consequence, changes in these programs can have an adverse impact on dealer liquidity and profitability.


The estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts areis based primarily on management’s evaluation of the financial condition of specific customers. In addition, as a result of the company's financing arrangement with DLL, a third-party financing company 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
 
uncollectible trade accounts receivable after such receivables are moved to collection status and legal remedies are exhausted. See Concentration of Credit Risk in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the financing arrangement. Long-term installment receivables are included in “Other Assets” on the consolidated balance sheet.


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 which 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 of receivables distinguished by geography and credit quality. The U.S. installment receivables are the first class and represent installment receivables re-purchased from DLL because the customers were in default. Default with DLL is defined as a customer being delinquent by three 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. 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 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.

As part of issuing convertible notes, the company entered into related convertible note hedge derivatives which were included in Other Long-Term Assets, the value of which was adjusted quarterly to reflect fair value. On May 16, 2019, shareholders approved the use of shares to potentially settle conversion of the company's convertible notes. As a result of the shareholder approval, the note hedge assets and conversion liabilities are no longer bifurcated and accounted for as separate derivatives and thus no longer are separate long-term assets.
 


See "Long-Term Debt" in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report for more detail regarding the company's issuance of convertible notes and the related convertible note hedge derivatives.

Lease Assets
In the first quarter of 2019, the company recorded operating lease assets as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02. The company's operating lease assets, and financing lease asset, have been separately disclosed on the Consolidate Balance Sheets. Finance lease assets have been reclassified from Property and Equipment, net to Finance Lease Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2018 to conform with the presentation for 2019.

Goodwill
The change in goodwill from December 31, 20172018 to June 30, 20182019 was due to foreign currency translation. As part of the company's realignment of its reportable and operating segments in the first quarter of 2019, the company considered whether the reporting units used for purposes of assessing impairment of goodwill should be changed and concluded that no changes were necessary.

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, 20172018 to June 30, 20182019 were the result of foreign currency translation and amortization.


The company evaluates the carrying value of definite-lived assets whenever events or circumstances indicate possible impairment. Definite-lived assets are determined to be impaired if the future un-discounted 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 assets are 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.


































 
Amortization expense related to intangibles was $837,000$779,000 in the first six months of 20182019 and is estimated to be $1,672,000 in 2018, $1,264,000$1,237,000 in 2019, $194,000$178,000 in 2020, $194,000$178,000 in 2021, $194,000$178,000 in 2022, $178,000 in 2023 and $194,000$153,000 in 2023.2024. Amortized intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over remaining lives of 1 to 106 years with most of the intangibles being amortized over an average remaining life of approximately 32 years.

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 the 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.


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.sold. Rebates are netted against gross accounts receivables unlessreceivables. If rebates are in excess of such receivables, andthey are then classified as accrued expenses. The reduction in accrued rebates from December 31, 20172018 to June 30, 20182019 primarily relates to payments principally made in the first quarter each year.











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 sale 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 appropriate defer such revenue.


The company continuously assesses the adequacy of its product warranty accruals and makes 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 action and recalls, which could require additional warranty reserve provision.

The convertible debt conversion liabilitiesliability amounts included in the above table represent the fair values of the conversion liabilities as of June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. On May 16, 2019, shareholders approved the use of shares to potentially settle conversion of the company's convertible notes. As a result of the shareholder approval, the conversion liabilities and note hedge assets are no longer bifurcated and accounted for as separate derivatives and thus are no longer separate long-term obligations. See "Long-Term Debt" in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report for more detail.






























On April 23, 2015, the company entered into a real estate sale leaseback transaction which resulted in the company recording an initial deferred gain of $7,414,000, the majority of which is included in Other Long-Term Obligations and will be recognized over the 20-year life of the leases. The gains realized were $73,000 and $146,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, compared to $71,000 and 141,000$141,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, comparedrespectively.














In the third quarter of 2018, the company agreed to 68,000sell its Isny, Germany location with a net book value at the signing of the agreement of approximately $2,900,000. In accordance with the agreement, title will not transfer to the buyer until April 2020; however, the company received an advance payment for a portion of the proceeds, originally disclosed above and 136,000now reclassed as a short-term obligation in Accrued Expenses. The advance payment was reflected in the investing section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the third quarter of 2018. The company will continue to depreciate the building and expects to record a gain on the transaction when completed in 2020.

Leases and Commitments
The company reviews new contracts in accordance with ASU 2016-02, "Leases" to determine 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 lease liabilities. The company combines lease and 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 June 30, 2019, the company is committed under non-cancelable operating leases, which have initial or remaining terms in excess of one year and expire on various dates through 2035.

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 permitted to sublet the properties; however, the properties are currently being utilized exclusively by the company and there is no current subletting. 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 capital 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 $73,000 and $146,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017,2019, respectively, compared to $71,000 and $141,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.


In December 2018, the company entered into a 20-year lease agreement in Germany. The lease is not expected to commence until April 2020.

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 product. While the company has a significant amount of contract types, the sales split by contract type is estimated as follows: general terms and conditions (35%(33%), large national customers (25%(27%), governments, principally pursuant to tender contracts (15%(19%) and other customers including buying groups and independent customers (25%(21%).


All product 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. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring product or providing 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. 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 product 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 (see “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 June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the company had deferred revenue of $3,092,000$2,676,000 and $2,770,000,$2,416,000, respectively, related to outstanding performance obligations.

Table of Contents


Equity Compensation


The company’s Common Shares have a $.25 stated value. The Common Shares and the Class B Common Shares generally have identical rights, terms and conditions and vote together as a single class on most issues, except that the Class B Common Shares have ten votes per share, carry a 10% lower cash dividend rate and, in general, can only be transferred to family members or for estate planning purposes. Holders of Class B Common Shares are entitled to convert their shares into Common Shares at any time on a share-for-share basis. When Class B Common Shares are transferred out of a familial relationship, they automatically convert to Common Shares. The Board of Directors suspended further dividends on the Class B Common Shares.


As of June 30, 2018,2019, 6,357 Class B Common Shares remained outstanding. Conversion of Class B Common Shares have substantially diminished the significance of the company’s dual class voting structure. As of June 30, 2018,2019, the holders of the Common Shares represented approximately 99.9% of the company’s total outstanding voting power.


Equity Compensation Plan


On May 17, 2018, the shareholders of the company approved the Invacare Corporation 2018 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2018 Plan”), which was adopted on March 27, 2018 by the company's Board of Directors (the “Board”). 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”) and all of the Common Shares that were forfeited or remained unpurchased or undistributed upon termination or expiration of awards under the 2013 Plan and under the Invacare Corporation 2003 Performance Plan (the “2003 Plan”), become available for issuance under the 2018 Plan. Awards granted previously under the 2013 Plan and 2003 Plan will remain in effect under their original terms.
The 2018 Plan uses a fungible share-counting method, under which each Common Share underlying an award of stock options or stock appreciation rights ("SAR") will count against the number of total shares available under the 2018 Plan as one share; and each Common Share underlying any award other than a stock option or a SAR will count against the number of total shares available under the 2018 Plan as two shares. Shares underlying awards made under the 2003 Plan or 2013 Plan that are forfeited
or remain unpurchased or undistributed upon termination or expiration of the awards will become available under the 2018
Plan for use in future awards. Any Common Shares that are added back to the 2018 Plan as the result of forfeiture, termination or expiration of an award granted under the 2018 Plan or the 2013 Plan will be added back in the same manner such shares were originally counted against the total number of shares available under the 2018 Plan or 2013 Plan, as applicable. Each Common Share that is added back to the 2018 Plan due to a forfeiture, termination or expiration of an award granted under the 2003 Plan will be added back as one Common Share.
The Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), in its discretion, may grant an award under the 2018 Plan to any director or employee of the company or an affiliate. As of June 30, 2018, 4,014,1992019, 3,840,691 Common Shares were available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan in connection with the following types of awards with respect to the company's Common Shares: incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock and performance shares. The Compensation Committee also may grant performance units that are payable in cash. The Compensation Committee has the authority to determine which participants will receive awards, the amount of the awards and the other terms and conditions of the awards. The Common Shares authorized for issuance under the 2018 Plan includes an additional 3,000,000 Common Shares that were approved by shareholders at the company’s 2019 annual meeting on May 16, 2019.
The 2018 Plan provides that shares granted come from the company's authorized but unissued Common Shares or treasury shares. In addition, the company's stock-based compensation plans allow employee participants to exchange shares for minimum withholding taxes, which results in the company acquiring treasury shares.

Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in actual and estimated forfeitures and for updated vesting assumptions for the performance share awards (see "Stock Options" and "Performance Shares and Performance Share Units" below). No tax benefits for share-based compensation were realized during the three orand six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, due to a valuation
 
June 30, 2018 and 2017 due to a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. In accordance with ASC 718, any tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation expense recognized is classified as a component of financing cash flows.


Stock Options


Generally, non-qualified stock option awards have a term of ten years and were granted with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of one of the company’s Common Shares on the date of grant. 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.

Notes to Financial StatementsEquity Compensation
Table of Contents

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. No stock options were issued in 2019 or 2018 and those issued in 2017 were performance-based and may vest after the conclusion of the three-year 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 transformation.

outstanding stock options were issued in 2014 or prior years and were not performance-based.


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.

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 per option based on the following assumptions:option.
Expected dividend yield0.4%
Expected stock price volatility39.1%
Risk-free interest rate2.31%
Expected life in years7.8

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 was based on the company's historical analysis of option history.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, performance shares and performance share units (for non-U.S. recipients) were granted as performance awards with a three-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, 20182019 through December 31, 20202021 established by the Compensation Committee at the time of grant. Recipients will be entitled to receive a number of Common Shares equal to 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 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. Performance award compensation expense is generally expected to be recognized over three years. Expense is being recognized for the 2016, 2017, 2018 and 20182019 awards as it is considered probable that the performance goals for those awards will be met.

Charges Related to Restructuring Activities


The company's restructuring charges were originally necessitated primarily by continued declines in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement by the U.S. government, as well as similar healthcare reimbursement pressures abroad, which negatively affect the company's customers (e.g. home health care providers) and continued pricing pressures faced by the company due to the outsourcing by competitors to lower cost locations. Restructuring decisions were also the result of reduced profitability in the NA/HMENorth America and Asia/Pacific segments.Asia Pacific. In addition, as a result of the company's transformation strategy, additional restructuring actions were implemented in 2017 and have continued in 2018. The company expects any near-term cost savings from restructuring will be offset by other costs because of pressures on the business.into 2019.

The company had an effective tax rate of 21.9%19.5% and 21.0%17.8% on losses before tax from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, respectively, compared to an expected benefit of 21%21.0% on the continuing operations pre-tax loss for each period. The company had an effective tax rate of 10.2%21.9% and 13.4% on losses before tax from continuing operations 21.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017,2018, respectively, compared to an expected benefit at the U.S. statutory rate of 35%21.0% on the continuing operations pre-tax loss for each period. The company's effective tax rate for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 20182019 and June 30, 20172018 were unfavorable as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate expected benefit, principally due to the negative impact of the company not being able to record tax benefits related to the significant losses in countries which had tax valuation allowances. The effective tax rate was increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 20182019 and decreased for the three months ended June 30, 20172018 by certain taxes outside the United States, excluding countries with tax valuation allowances, that were at an effective rate higher than the U.S. statutory rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and lower than the U.S. statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017.rate.


The US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Tax Act") was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act subjects a US shareholder to current tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740 No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, states that an entity can make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred. The company has elected to recognize the tax on GILTI as a period expense in the period the tax is incurred.



















In accordance with the SEC issued SAB 118, which provided guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act, the company made certain provisional estimates at December 31, 2017. The company determined that the provisional calculations will be finalized after the underlying timing differences and foreign earnings and profits are finalized with our 2017 federal tax return filing.  Furthermore, the company is still analyzing certain aspects of the Tax Act and refining its calculations which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new or additional deferred tax amounts. No adjustments were made to the company's provisional calculations during the quarter or six months ended June 30, 2018.

Concentration of Credit Risk


The company manufactures and distributes durable medical equipment to the home health care, retail and extended care markets. The company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The company utilizes De Lage Landen, Inc. (“DLL”), a third-party financing company, to provide lease financing to Invacare's U.S. customers. The DLL agreement provides for direct leasing between DLL and the Invacare customer. The company retains a recourse obligation of $2,088,000$1,916,000 at June 30, 20182019 to DLL for events of default under the contracts, which total $16,281,000$11,208,000 at June 30, 2018. 2019. Guarantees, ASC 460, requires the company to record a guarantee liability as it relates to the limited recourse obligation. The company's recourse is re-evaluated by DLL biannually, considers activity between the biannual dates and excludes any receivables purchased by the company from DLL. The company monitors the collections status of these contracts and has provided amounts for estimated losses in its allowances for doubtful accounts in accordance with Receivables, ASC 310-10-05-4. Credit losses are provided for in the financial statements.
































































 


Substantially all the company’s receivables are due from health care, medical equipment providers and long-term care facilities located throughout the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Europe. 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 seen a significant shift in reimbursement to customers from managed care entities. 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. 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 majority 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 $50,475,000$71,239,000 and $43,692,000$50,475,000 matured for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and June 30, 2017,2018, 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 20182019 or 20172018 related to these contracts and the associated short-term intercompany trading receivables and payables.

The gains or losses recognized as the result of the settlement of cash flow hedge foreign currency forward contracts are recognized in net sales for hedges of inventory sales and in cost of product sold for hedges of inventory purchases. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, net sales were decreased by $164,000 and $8,000 while cost of product sold was decreased by $544,000 and $628,000 for net pre-tax realized gains of $380,000 and $620,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, net sales were decreased by $209,000 and $234,000 while cost of product sold was
increased by $429,000 and $680,000 for net realized pre-tax realized losses of $638,000 and $914,000, respectively. For the three

Losses of $202,000 and six months ended June 30, 2017, net sales were decreased by $166,000$214,000 and $234,000 while cost of product sold was decreased

SG&A expenses on intercompany trade receivables or payables. The gains/losses on the non-designated hedging instruments were substantially offset by gains/losses on intercompany trade payables.


The company's derivative agreements provide the counterparties with a right of set off in the event of a default. 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.




 
During the first quarter of 2016, the company entered into privately negotiated convertible 2021 note hedges and 2021 warrants in connection with its sale of $150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the company’s 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021. The 2021 warrants, which increased paid in capital by $12,376,000, are clearly and closely related to the convertible 2021 notes and thus classified as equity. The 2021 note hedge asset and 2021 convertible debt conversion liability were recorded, based on initial fair values, as an asset of $27,975,000 and a liability of $34,480,000, respectively, and these fair values are updated quarterly with the offset to the income statement.

During the second quarter of 2017, the company entered into privately negotiated convertible 2022 note hedges and warrants in connection with its sale of $120,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the company’s 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022. The 2022 warrants, which increased paid in capital by $14,100,000, are clearly and closely related to the convertible 2022 notes and thus classified as equity. The 2022 note hedge assets and 2022 convertible debt conversion liability were recorded, based on initial fair values, as an asset of $24,780,000 and a liability of $28,859,000, respectively, and these fair values are updated quarterly with the offset to the income statement.

The 2021 and 2022 convertible debt conversion liability amounts and the 2021 and 2022 note hedge asset amounts are included in Other Long-Term Obligations and Other Long-Term Assets, respectively, in the company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The year-to-date changes in the fair values of the convertible debt conversion liabilities and note hedge derivatives were significantly impacted by the change in the company's stock price.


On May 16, 2019, shareholders approved the use of shares to potentially settle the company's convertible debt. As a result of the shareholder approval, the note hedge assets and conversion liabilities are no longer bifurcated and accounted for as separate derivatives and thus were eliminated with the offset to additional paid-in-capital.

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.

On May 16, 2019, shareholders approved the use of shares to potentially settle conversion of the company's convertible notes. As a result of the shareholder approval, the note hedge assets and conversion liabilities are no longer bifurcated and accounted for as separate derivatives and thus are no longer accounted for as separate assets and liabilities.

Notes to Financial StatementsFair Values 
   
Table of Contents


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 an investment in a limited partnership, which is accounted for using the cost method, adjusted for any estimated declines in value. The investment was acquired in private placement 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. Long term lease obligations for both operating and financing leases are based on present values of minimum lease payments. The fair values are deemed to be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

















































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


Forward 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, NOK, NZD, SEK 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’s forward contracts are included in Other Current Assets or Accrued Expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Notes to Financial StatementsBusiness Segments 
   
Table of Contents


Business Segments
The company operates in fourtwo primary business segments: NA/HME, IPG,North America and Europe and Asia/Pacific. Bothwith each selling the NA/HME and IPG segments operate in the Americas. The NA/HME segment sells each of the threecompany's primary product 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 categoriesinclude products similar to those of NA/HMEsold 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 profit or loss measure being segment operating profit (loss). Segment operating profit
(loss) represents net sales less cost of products sold less selling general and administrative expenses. Segment operating profit (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 profit (loss) further excludes charges related to restructuring activities, asset impairments and gain on sale of business (as applicable).


SegmentThis 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 first quarter of 2019, the company reassessed the alignment of its reporting segments and concluded that the North America/Home Medical Equipment (NA/HME) and Institutional Products Group (IPG) segments should be combined into a single operating segment, now referred to as North America. This change better reflects how the company manages, allocates resources and assesses performance of the businesses contained in the new North America segment. Additionally, the company reassessed the activity of the businesses in its former Asia/Pacific segment and concluded that the Asia Pacific businesses should now be reported as part of the All Other segment, since those businesses, individually and collectively, are not large enough relative to the company's overall business to merit disclosure as a separate reporting segment. The company believes that these changes provide improved transparency of the company’s business results to its shareholders, and better align with how the company manages its businesses. Segment results for the 2018 have been reclassified to reflect the realignment of the company’s reporting segments and be comparable to the segment results for 2019.

As part of the company's realignment of its reportable and operating segments, the company considered whether the reporting units used for purposes of assessing impairment of goodwill should be changed and concluded that no changes were necessary.

Contingencies
General

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 currently 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.
In August 2018, the company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) related to DOJ's investigation into the rentals pricing practices of one of the company's former rentals businesses, which the company divested in July 2015. The former rentals business and its acquirer also received similar CID's from the DOJ, and in September 2018, the acquirer made a request for indemnification from the company under the divestiture agreement. In May 2019, the acquirer notified the company that it was informed by DOJ that the CID arises out of a qui tam complaint filed in December 2017 and amended in March 2018 that remains under seal, and reiterated its request for indemnification from the company under the divestiture agreement. The CID seeks documents and other information from the company, and the company is cooperating fully with the DOJ investigation. An unfavorable outcome could include the company being required to pay
monetary damages, and incur attorneys' fees, penalties and other adverse actions. The company is unable to predict the outcome and is unable to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or range of loss, if any, that could result from any unfavorable outcome.
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 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, except in verified cases of medical necessity, (ii) design activities related to wheelchairs and power beds that tooktake place at the impacted Elyria facilities and (iii) replacement, service and repair of products which were already in use from the Taylor Street manufacturing facility. Under the terms of the consent decree, in order to resume full operations, the company had to successfully complete independent, third-party expert certification audits at the impacted Elyria facilities, comprised of three distinct certification reports separately submitted to, and acceptedsubject to acceptance by, FDA; submit its own report to the FDA; and successfully complete a reinspection by FDA of the company’scompany's Corporate and Taylor Street facilities.
On July 24, 2017, following its June 2017 reinspection of the Corporate and Taylor Street facilities, FDA notified the company that it is in substantial compliance with the FDA Act, FDA regulations and the terms of the consent decree and, that the company was permitted to resume full operations at those facilities including the resumption of unrestricted sales of products made in those facilities.

Notes to Financial StatementsContingencies
Table of Contents

The consent decree will continue in effect for at least five years from July 2017, during which time the company’scompany's Corporate and Taylor Street facilities must complete to two semi-annual audits in the first year and then four annual audits in the next four years performed by a company-retained expert firm. The expert audit firm will determine whether the facilities remain in continuous compliance with the FDA Act, FDA regulations and the terms of the consent decree. 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. The company expects that the FDA will, from time to time, inspect substantially all the company's domestic and foreign FDA-registered facilities. Recent inspections for which follow-up remains ongoing are summarized in the following paragraphs.
In June 2017, FDA inspected the company's Corporate and Taylor Street facilities in connection with the consent decree, as described above, and issued an inspectional observation on Form 483. The company submitted its response to the agency in a timely manner. On July 24, 2017, the FDA notified the company that it was in substantial compliance with the FDA Act, FDA

Regulations and the terms of the consent decree and that it was permitted to resume full operations at those facilities.
In March 2018, the company completed its first semi-annual independent expert audit of the Corporate and Taylor Street facilities, as required under the consent decree, with no adverse audit report observations. The audit report was submitted to, and accepted by FDA.
In September 2017, Alber GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, received a warning letter from the FDA. The warning letter required completion of corrective actions to address Form 483 observations issued following FDA's inspection of Alber’s facility in Albstadt, Germany in May 2017. As a consequence of the warning letter, all Alber devices could not be imported into the United States until all findings were corrected to FDA’s satisfaction. On January 3, 2018, FDA notified the company that Alber’s responses to the warning letter were adequate, and that FDA had as of that date, removed the import suspension. FDA conducted its subsequent reinspection of Alber in April 2018, the result of which included no noted observations. The company expects the warning letter to be closed as a result of this inspection; however, the company cannot be assured of the timing or certainty of this outcome.
In November 2017, FDA inspected the company’s facility in Pinellas Park, Florida and issued its observations on Form 483, one of which was annotated as corrected and verified at the conclusion of the inspection. The company has submitted its response to FDA in a timely manner. In June 2018, the FDA notified the company that its responses to the Form 483 observations were adequate.

In November 2017, the FDA inspected the company’s facility in Sanford, Florida and issued its observations on Form 483, and the company submitted its response to FDA in a timely manner. In July 2018, the FDA notified the company that its responses to the Form 483 observations were adequate. The Sanford facility is the subject of a warning letter from the FDA issued in December 2010 related to quality systems processes and procedures, and the company continues to work on addressing the FDA’s citations.
The results of regulatory claims, proceedings, investigations, or litigation are difficult to predict. An unfavorable resolution or outcome of any 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.
Although the company has 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 2010 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/HMENorth America 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/HMENorth America segment have declined 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. In addition, respiratory sales in the North America segment are expected to decline in 2019 as a result of changes in reimbursement by CMS effective January 1, 2019.
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. See 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.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.


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 currently 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. Management does not believe that the outcome of any of these actions will have a material adverse effect upon the company's business or financial condition.


In December 2012, the company became subject to a consent decree of injunction filed by FDA in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio with respect to the company's Corporate facility and its Taylor Street manufacturing facility in Elyria, Ohio. On July 24, 2017, following its reinspection of the Corporate and Taylor Street facilities, FDA notified the company that it was in substantial compliance with the FDA Act, FDA regulations and the terms of the consent decree and that the company was 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’scompany's Corporate and Taylor Street facilities must complete to two semi-annual audits in the first year and then four annual audits in the next four years performed by a company-retained expert firm. The expert audit firm will determine whether the facilities remain in continuous compliance with the FDA Act, FDA regulations and the terms of the consent decree.


The FDA has the authority to inspect the Corporate and Taylor Street facilities, and any other FDA registered facility, at any time. The FDA also 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, to 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.


 
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 Act or FDA regulations. 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 capped atlimited to a total of $7,000,000 for each calendar year. The authority to assess liquidated damages areis in addition to any other remedies otherwise available to FDA, including civil money penalties.


For additional information regarding the consent decree, please see the "Contingencies" note to the financial statements contained in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the risk factors referred to in Part I, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the following sections of the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2017:2018: Item 1. Business - Government Regulation; Item 1A. Risk Factors; and Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Outlook and - Liquidity and Capital Resources.

In August 2018, the company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) related to DOJ's investigation into the rentals pricing practices of one of the company's former rentals businesses, which the company divested in July 2015. The former rentals business and its acquirer also received similar CID's from the DOJ, and in September 2018, the acquirer made a request for indemnification from the company under the divestiture agreement. In May 2019, the acquirer notified the company that it was informed by DOJ that the CID arises out of a qui tam complaint filed in December 2017 and amended in March 2018 that remains under seal, and reiterated its request for indemnification from the company under the divestiture agreement. The CID seeks documents and other information from the company, and the company is cooperating fully with the DOJ investigation. An unfavorable outcome could include the company being required to pay monetary damages, and incur attorneys' fees, penalties and other adverse actions. The company is unable to predict the outcome and is unable to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or range of loss, if any, that could result from any unfavorable outcome.
