SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our strategy, future financial condition, future operations, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “design,” “due,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “plan,” “positioned,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and other similar expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and future trends, or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

~~Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement~~ All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report, including without limitation statements regarding our business model and strategic plans for our products, technologies and business, including our implementation thereof, the impact on ~~Form 10-Q,~~our business, financial condition and results of operations from macroeconomic conditions, the timing of and our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals, our commercialization efforts, our acquisitions, including resulting synergies and future milestone payouts, marketing and manufacturing capabilities and strategy, our expectations about the commercial success and market acceptance of our products, the sufficiency of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and the plans and objectives of management for future operations and capital expenditures are forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions and are based largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we ~~cannot guarantee that~~believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described under the sections in this Quarterly Report entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report may not occur and actual results ~~levels~~could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of ~~activity, performance~~which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely upon these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements ~~will~~may not be achieved or ~~occur at all. Forward-looking~~occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are ~~subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual~~reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, to be materially different from those indicated (both favorably and unfavorably). These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as well as our subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, we ~~undertake no obligation~~do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

~~You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and~~ We intend the ~~documents that we reference~~forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report ~~on Form 10-Q and have filed as exhibits completely and with~~to be covered by the ~~understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all~~safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the ~~forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by these cautionary statements.~~Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business

Paragon 28, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “we”, “us”, “our”, “P28” or the “Company”) develops, distributes, and sells medical devices in the foot and ankle segment of the orthopedic implant marketplace. Our approach to product development is procedurally focused, resulting in a full range of procedure-specific foot and ankle products designed specifically for foot and ankle anatomy. Our products and product families include plates and plating systems, screws, staples, and nails aimed to address all major foot and ankle procedures including fracture fixation, forefoot or hallux valgus - which includes bunion and hammertoe, ankle, flatfoot or progressive collapsing foot deformity ("PCDF"), charcot foot and orthobiologics. P28 is a United States (“U.S.”) based company incorporated in the State of Delaware, with headquarters in Englewood, Colorado. Our sales representatives and distributors are located globally with the majority concentrated in the U.S., Australia, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Paragon 28, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair representation of the results for the periods presented and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, which include a complete set of footnote ~~disclosures, including our significant accounting policies.~~disclosures. The audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 are included in the Company’s Annual filing on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year or for any other future period. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Any changes in these estimates will be reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the determination of the collectability of trade receivables, inventory obsolescence, impairment of long-lived assets, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, contingent earn-out liabilities, income taxes and stock-based compensation.

Foreign Currency ~~Translation~~Translation‌

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries have a functional currency (i.e., the currency in which operational activities are primarily conducted) that is other than the U.S. dollar, generally the currency of the country in which such subsidiaries are domiciled. Such subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at quarter-end exchange rates, while revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the quarter based on the daily closing exchange rates. Adjustments that result from translating amounts from a subsidiary’s functional currency to U.S. dollars are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, net of tax.

~~Business Combinations~~

We allocate the purchase consideration to the identifiable net assets acquired, including intangible assets and liabilities assumed, based on estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we may adjust provisional amounts that were recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.Significant Accounting Policies

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)~~

~~(in thousands, except share and per share data)~~

~~(unaudited)~~

Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires significant judgment, including the selection of valuation methodologies including the income approach, the cost approach, and the market approach. Significant assumptions used in those methodologies include, but are not limited to, the expected values of the underlying metric, the systematic risk embeddedThere have been no changes in the underlying metric, the volatility of the underlying metric, the risk-free rate, and the counterparty risk. The use of different valuation methodologies and assumptions is highly subjective and inherently uncertain and,Company's significant accounting policies as ~~a result, actual results may differ materially from estimates.~~

~~Trade Receivables, Less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts~~

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the current status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the allowance for doubtful accounts was not material.

~~Inventories, Net~~

The Company estimates a reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventory based on current inventory levels, historical sales and future projected demand. Charges (benefit) for excess and obsolete inventory aredisclosed in Note 2 to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in ~~Cost of goods sold and were $293~~ ~~and $(643) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and~~our 2022 ~~respectively. The inventory reserve was $17,117~~ ~~and $16,804~~ ~~as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.~~

~~Intangibles~~

~~The costs associated with applying for patents and trademarks are capitalized. Patents are amortized~~Annual Report on ~~a straight-line basis over the lesser of the patent’s economic or legal life, which is~~ ~~seventeen years~~. Costs associated with capitalized patents include third-party attorney fees and other third-party fees as well as costs related to the following: the preparation of patent applications, government filings and registration fees, drawings, computer searches, and translations related to specific patents. Trademarks that are anticipated to be renewed every ten years have an indefinite life and are not amortized but tested for impairment annually. Once it is determined a trademark will no longer be renewed, the trademark is amortized over the remainder of the trademark’s registration period. Customer relationships are amortized over an estimated useful life of ~~three~~ to ~~seven years~~ ~~on a straight-line basis. Other intangibles, which mainly consist of noncompete arrangements, are amortized over an estimated useful life of~~ ~~three years~~ ~~on a straight-line basis. Developed technology is amortized over an estimated useful life of~~ ~~twelve years~~ ~~on a straight-line basis.~~Form 10-K.

Amortizable intangible assets are assessed for impairment upon triggering events that indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the associated asset. If the asset’s carrying value is determined to not be recoverable, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the intangible assets. No ~~impairment charges were recorded in any of the periods presented.~~

Indefinite-lived trademark assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company can elect to first apply the optional qualitative impairment assessment to determine whether the indefinite-lived intangible asset is more-likely-than-not impaired. If, on the basis of the qualitative impairment assessment, an entity asserts that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the Company would be required to calculate the fair value of the asset for an impairment test. Impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

A qualitative assessment considers macroeconomic and other industry-specific factors, such as trends in short-term and long-term interest rates and the ability to access capital, and company specific factors such as trends in revenue generating activities, and merger or acquisition activity. If the Company elects to bypass qualitatively assessing its indefinite-lived intangible assets, or it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset exceeds its carrying value, management estimates the fair value of the intangible asset and compares it to the carrying value. The estimated fair value of the intangible asset is established using an income approach based on a discounted cash flow model that includes significant assumptions about the future operating results and cash flows of the intangible asset or assets.

~~Goodwill~~

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price as compared to the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or when indications of impairment exist. We can elect to qualitatively assess goodwill for impairment if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

(unaudited)

Impairment exists when the carrying amount, including goodwill, of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, resulting in an impairment charge for this excess (not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill). Our annual impairment testing date is October 1. The impairment, if determined, is recorded within Operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the period the determination is made. There were no ~~impairments recorded during the periods presented.~~

~~Contingent Earn-out Consideration~~

Business combinations may include contingent earn-out consideration as part of the purchase price under which the Company will make future payments to the seller upon the achievement of certain milestones. The fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration is estimated as of the acquisition date at the present value of the expected contingent payments and is subsequently remeasured at each balance sheet date. Two methodologies may be considered in the valuation: the scenario-based model (“SBM”) and Monte Carlo simulation. The SBM relies on multiple outcomes to estimate the likelihood of future payoff of the contingent consideration. The resulting earnout payoff is then probability-weighted and discounted at an appropriate risk adjusted rate in order to arrive at the present value of the expected earnout payment. The Monte Carlo simulation is used to value the non-linear contingent considerations based on projected financial metrics. Each trial of the Monte Carlo simulation draws a value from the assumed distribution for the underlying metric. The earnout payoff for each simulation trial is calculated based on that particular simulated path for the underlying metrics and then discounted to present value using the risk-free rate, adjusted for counterparty credit risk. The value of the earnout is estimated as the average value from all simulation trials. The fair value estimates use unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions as to the ability of the acquired business to meet the targeted benchmarks and discount rates used in the calculations. The unobservable inputs are defined in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” as Level 3 inputs.

We review the probabilities of achievement of the earnout milestones to determine impact on the fair value of the earnout consideration on a quarterly basis over the earn-out period. Actual results are compared to the estimates and probabilities of achievement used in our forecasts. Should actual results of the acquired business increase or decrease as compared to our estimates and assumptions, the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration liability will increase or decrease, up to the contractual limit, as applicable. Changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration are recorded in Other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and are reflected in the period in which they are identified. Changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration may materially impact or cause volatility in our operating results.

~~Revenue Recognition~~

Revenue is recorded, net of estimated losses for bad debts, when our performance obligation is satisfied which is when our customers take title of the product, and typically when the product is used in surgery. As such, the timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to our customers. We have recorded unbilled accounts receivable related to this timing difference of $~~3,657~~ ~~and $4,511~~ ~~as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.~~

Recently Adopted Accounting ~~Pronouncements~~Pronouncements‌

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires entities to estimate all expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The updated guidance also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating expected credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument from the date of initial recognition of that instrument. ASU 2016-13, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2019-12”), which is part of the FASB’s overall simplification initiative to reduce the costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. ASU 2019-12 simplifies accounting guidance for intra-period allocations, deferred tax liabilities, year-to-date losses in interim periods, franchise taxes, step-up in tax basis of goodwill, separate entity financial statements, and interim recognition of tax laws or rate changes. ASU 2019-12 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance did ~~did~~ not have a significant impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3. BUSINESS COMBINATION

Disior Acquisition

On January 10, 2022 ("(“Disior Acquisition ~~Date"~~Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Disior LTD. (“Disior”) and acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Disior (the ~~"Disior Acquisition"~~“Disior Acquisition”). Disior is a leading three-dimensional analytics pre-operative planning software company based in Helsinki, Finland, focused on the complex foot and ankle anatomy. The Disior Acquisition allowed the Company to broaden its capabilities within the pre-operative and intra-operative stages of the foot and ankle care and expand the Company's Smart 28 ecosystem.

The aggregate purchase price of the Disior Acquisition was approximately $26,246 inclusive of an earn-out provision with a fair value of $6,550 and certain net working capital adjustments and deferred payments totaling a net payable of $222. The SPA provided for potential earn-out consideration to the seller in connection with the achievement of certain milestones with various expiration dates through the second anniversary of the Disior Acquisition Date. The earn-out has a maximum payment not to exceed $8,000 in the aggregate. If an individual milestone is not met by the specified milestone expiration date, the earn-out related to that specific milestone will not be paid. The acquisition was primarily funded by a $20,000 draw on the Company's term loan.

The Company has accounted for the acquisition of Disior under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Disior’s results of operations are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements beginning after January 10, 2022, the Disior Acquisition Date.

The following table summarizes the purchase price:

Identified intangible assets consist of tradenames and developed technology. The fair value of each were determined with the assistance of an external valuation specialist using a combination of the income, market, cost approach, and relief from royalty rate method, in accordance with ASC 805. The purchase consideration was allocated to the identifiable net assets acquired based on estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities, if any, was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is attributable to the expected synergies with the Company’s existing operations. The useful life on intangible assets was determined by management to be in line with the Company’s policy on intangible assets. Both determinations are outlined in the table below:


	Fair Value		Estimated Useful Life (in years)	Fair Value
Developed technology	$	6,400	12	$	6,400
Tradenames		400	Indefinite		400
	$	6,800		$	6,800

The entire amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill will not be deductible for income tax purposes under the Finnish Income Tax Act.

MidCap Credit Agreements

On May 6, 2021, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with MidCap Financial Trust to provide a total of $70,000 including up to a $30,000 revolving loan (“MidCap Revolving Loan”) and up to a $40,000 term loan (“MidCap Term Loan”), secured by substantially all the Company’s assets (“MidCap Credit Agreements”). The MidCap Term Loan was comprised of two tranches, the first of which provided a commitment amount of $10,000, and the second a commitment of $30,000. The MidCap Term Loan and Midcap Revolving Loan bore a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 6% and LIBOR plus 3%, respectively, and mature on the earlier of May 1, 2026 or a change in control event (the "Termination Date"). The entire principal balances of the MidCap Revolving Loan and MidCap Term Loan are due on the Termination Date. Interest payments are payable monthly with optional principal prepayments allowed under the MidCap Credit Agreements. The Midcap Credit Agreements required us to maintain minimum net product sales and minimum consolidated EBITDA, (each term as defined in the Midcap Credit Agreements), for the preceding twelve month period.‌

On November 9, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the MidCap Credit Agreements. The amendment to the Midcap Revolving Loan provides up to $50,000 in total borrowing capacity. The MidCap amendments modified the MidCap Credit Agreements to include provisions related to the transition from the LIBOR Interest Rate plus Applicable Margin to the SOFR Interest Rate plus Applicable Margin, maintaining the Applicable Margin of 6% under the MidCap Term Loan and increasing the Applicable Margin from 3% to 3.75% under the Midcap Revolving Loan. In addition, the MidCap amendments amended certain covenants, terms and provisions in the Midcap Credit Agreements to, among other things, modify the covenant levels for the Minimum Net Product Sales financial covenant and to remove the Minimum Consolidated EBITDA financial covenant. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the amended Midcap Credit Agreements. Total debt issuance costs associated with the MidCap Credit Agreements were $~~2,337~~2,127. Amortization expense associated with such debt issuance costs totaled $~~184~~185 and $71369, for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, respectively, and $175 and $248 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and is included in Interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

NOTE 8. LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period (the denominator). Diluted net income per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period adjusted for the dilutive effects of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method or the method based on the nature of such securities. In periods when losses from operations are reported, the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The computation of net loss per share for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,						Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

The following outstanding potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because their impact would have been antidilutive for the period presented:

Effective tax rate		(0.973	%)		(0.546	%)

For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded ~~an income tax benefit of $~~71 ~~and income~~ tax expense of $32269 and $73, respectively. For six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded tax expense of $198 and $105, respectively.

The Company’s 2023 and 2022 income tax expense and rates differed from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to pre-tax income primarily as a result of the U.S., Finland, ~~U.K.,~~ Germany, UK and Italy jurisdictions that have a full valuation allowance recorded on deferred tax assets. In addition, the tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory federal tax rate as a result of foreign earnings that are taxed at lower tax rates.

The Company continues to monitor the realization of its deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation ~~allowance.~~allowance in other jurisdictions. The Company analyzes available positive and negative evidence to determine if a valuation allowance is needed based on the weight of the evidence. This objectively verifiable evidence includes the current &and prior two years' profit and loss positions after considering pre-tax book income plus or minus permanent adjustments as well as other positive &and negative evidence available. This process requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that are uncertain in nature. The Company has established a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets in the U.S., Finland, ~~U.K.,~~ Germany, UK and Italy and continues to monitor and assess potential valuation allowances in all its jurisdictions.

NOTE ~~12.~~11. COMMITMENTS AND ~~CONTINGENCIES~~CONTIGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, inquiries, and other regulatory and compliance matters, most of which are routine to the nature of our business. When it is probable that a loss will be incurred and where a range of the loss can be reasonably‌ estimated, the best estimate within the range is accrued. When the best estimate within the range cannot be determined, the low end of the range is accrued. The ultimate resolution of these claims could affect future results of operations should our exposure be materially different from our estimates or should liabilities be incurred that were not previously accrued. Potential insurance reimbursements are not offset against potential liabilities.

On November 28, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Stryker Corp. to settle two complaints filed against the Company and any Company counter claims for a total amount of $26,000 paid by the Company to Stryker Corp (the “Settlement Amount”).

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in Part I-Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion and other parts of this report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions that are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.‌

Overview

We are a leading medical device company exclusively focused on the foot and ankle orthopedic market and we are dedicated to improving patient lives. Our innovative orthopedic solutions, procedural approaches and instrumentation cover a wide range of foot and ankle ailments including fracture fixation, forefoot or hallux valgus - which includes bunion and hammertoe, ankle, flatfoot or progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD), charcot foot and orthobiologics. To treat these painful, debilitating or even life-threatening conditions, we provide a comprehensive portfolio of solutions that includes surgical implants and disposables, as well as surgical instrumentation. Our broad suite of surgical solutions comprises 75 product systems, including approximately 9,200 SKUs to help fit the specific needs of each patient and procedure. We design each of our products with both the patient and surgeon in mind, with the goal of improving outcomes, reducing ailment recurrence and complication rates, and making the procedures simpler, consistent and reproducible. We believe our passion, expertise, and exclusive focus in the foot and ankle market has allowed us to better understand the needs of our patients and physicians, which has enabled us to create innovations and enhanced solutions that disrupt and transform the foot and ankle market. As a result, we have experienced significant growth and momentum in our business.

Smart 28, the Company’s ecosystem of enabling technologies for pre-operative planning, intra-operative support, and post-operative evaluation, was augmented by the Additive Orthopaedics acquisition in 2021 and the Disior acquisition in the first quarter of 2022. With the Additive acquisition, we acquired the only 3-D printed, patient specific total talus spacer authorized for marketing pursuant to an approved Human Device Exemption application, plus a proprietary, pre-operative surgical planning platform. With Disior, we acquired a leading three-dimensional analytics pre-operative planning software company based in Helsinki, Finland. These transactions broadened our capabilities within the pre-operative and intra-operative stages of the foot and ankle continuum of care. We expect to continue to invest in Smart 28 to improve foot and ankle patient outcomes.‌

Our broad commercial footprint spans across all 50 United States and 22 other countries. In the United States we primarily sell to hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers through a network of primarily independent sales representatives, the majority of whom are exclusive. Outside the United States we primarily sell to hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers through a network of sales representatives and stocking distributors. We plan to efficiently grow our sales organization and network to expand into new territories in the United States. We are also highly focused on expanding our global network by expanding our sales footprint in existing and select new international markets based on our assessment of size and opportunity.

We currently leverage multiple third-party manufacturing relationships to ensure low cost production while maintaining a capital efficient business model. We have multiple sources of supply for many of our surgical solutions’ critical components. Nearly all of our supply agreements do not have minimum manufacturing or purchase obligations. As such, we generally do not have any obligation to buy any given quantity of products, and our suppliers generally have no obligation to sell to us or to manufacture for us any given quantity of our products or components for our products. In most cases, we have redundant manufacturing capabilities for each of our products. We have not experienced any significant difficulty obtaining our products or components for our products necessary to meet demand, and we have only experienced limited instances where our suppliers had difficulty supplying products by the requested delivery date. We believe manufacturing capacity is sufficient to meet market demand for our products for the foreseeable future.

Net revenue increased from ~~$41.4~~$42.5 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 to ~~$52.0~~$51.0 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, an increase of ~~26%~~20%, and from $83.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $103.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 23%.

Net loss ~~decreased~~increased from ~~$9.2~~$9.6 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 to ~~$9.1~~$10.9 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, and from $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA improved from ~~a $3.3~~negative $3.2 million ~~loss~~ for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 to ~~a $1.4~~negative $2.6 million ~~loss~~ for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, and from negative $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to negative $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ~~("GAAP")~~(GAAP). See ~~“—Non-GAAP~~“Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for an explanation of how we compute this non-GAAP financial measure and for the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

As of ~~March 31, 2023 and~~ December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, we had cash of ~~$85.9~~$38.5 million and ~~$38.5~~$56.7 million and an accumulated deficit of ~~$76.8~~$67.8 million and ~~$67.8~~$87.7 million, respectively.

On January 30, 2023, we completed an underwritten public offering (the "Offering") of 6,500,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $17.00 per share, which consisted of 3,750,000 shares of common stock issued and sold by us and 2,750,000 shares of common stock sold by certain selling securityholders. On February 17, 2023, the underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase an additional 562,500 shares and 412,500 shares of common stock from us and the selling securityholders, respectively. We received aggregate net proceeds from the Offering of approximately $68.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us. We did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling securityholders.‌

~~Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations~~

~~We believe our performance and continued success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities. These factors include:~~

~~Investments in Product Development and Innovation, including Smart 28~~

We expect to continue to focus on long-term revenue growth through investments in our business. In research and development, our team is continually working on new products and iterations of our existing products. Further, we anticipate we will continue to invest significantly in Smart 28 in order to improve patient outcomes by augmenting existing products and creating new products and related services that employ advanced technologies. We are committed to continuously expanding our portfolio of foot and ankle solutions and to bring next-generation products to market. While research and development and clinical testing are time consuming and costly, we believe expanding into new indications, implementing product improvements and continuing to demonstrate the efficacy, safety and cost effectiveness of our products through clinical data are all critical to increasing the adoption of our solutions. We continue to invest in programs to educate physicians who treat foot and ankle about the advantage of products. Accordingly, in the near term, we expect these activities to increase our operating expenses, but in the longer term we anticipate they will positively impact our business and results of operations.

~~Continued Commercial Expansion in the United States and International Markets~~

In sales and marketing, we are also dedicating meaningful resources to expand our commercial team in the United States and in international markets. Our top commercial priorities in the United States include sales force expansion, expansion of our surgeon customer base, sales force channel productivity and increasing surgeon utilization. Our top commercial priorities in the international markets include expanding our market share in existing countries and targeting new countries where we can maximize strong average selling price (ASP) and margins. Our current expansion targets include Brazil, Colombia, Germany, Italy and Japan. This process requires significant education and training for our commercial team to achieve the level of technical competency with our products that is expected by physicians and to gain experience building demand for our products. Upon completion of the training, our commercial team typically requires time in the field to grow their network of accounts and increase their productivity to the levels we expect. Successfully recruiting, training and retaining additional sales representatives will be required to achieve growth, which will require significant investments by us.

~~Inventory, Surgical Instrumentation and Supply Chain Management~~

Given the large variety and number of products we sell, in order to market and sell them effectively, we must maintain significant levels of inventory and surgical instrumentation. As a result, a significant amount of cash is expended for inventory and surgical instrumentation. There may also be times in which we determine that our inventory does not meet our product requirements. We may also over- or underestimate the quantities of required components, in which case we may expend extra resources or be constrained in the amount of end product that we can procure. These factors subject us to the risk of obsolescence and expiration, which may lead to impairment charges. Additionally, as we release later generations of products that contain advancements or additional features, the earlier generations may become obsolete.

~~Seasonality~~

We have experienced and expect to continue to experience seasonality in our business, with our highest sales volumes in the U.S. occurring in the fourth calendar quarter. Our U.S. sales volumes in the fourth calendar quarter tend to be higher as many patients elect to have surgery after meeting their annual deductible and having time to recover over the winter holidays.

1815

Emerging Growth Company

As an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, while we are an emerging growth company, we will not be subject to new or revised accounting standards at the same time that they become applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements and interim financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements.

We However, we will ~~remain~~no longer qualify as an emerging growth company ~~until the earliest~~as of ~~(i) the last day of our first fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more, (ii) the last day~~December 31, 2023 and will no longer be able to take advantage of the first fiscal year in which we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with at least $700.0 million of equity securities held by non-affiliatesextended transition period. Therefore, as of ~~the end of the last business day of the second quarter of~~December 31, 2023, we will be required to adopt new or revised accounting standards when they are applicable to public companies that fiscal year, (iii) the date on which we have issued, in any three-year period, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or (iv) the last day of our fiscal year after the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our initial offering.are not emerging growth companies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Their Limitations

In addition to our results and measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating and comparing our financial and operational performance over multiple periods, identifying trends affecting our business, formulating business plans and making strategic decisions.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our financial performance and is also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, together with a reconciliation to net loss, helps identify underlying trends in our business and helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, tax rates, or different forms of employee compensation. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to a key financial metric used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these potential limitations include:

•

other companies, including companies in our industry which have similar business arrangements, may report Adjusted EBITDA, or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures;

•

although depreciation and amortization expenses are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditures for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

•

Adjusted EBITDA also does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs or the potentially dilutive impact of ~~stock based~~stock-based compensation; and

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur.

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider our non-GAAP measures only as supplemental to other GAAP-based financial measures. For a full reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, see ~~“—Reconciliation~~“Reconciliation Between GAAP and Non-GAAP Measure.”

Reconciliation Between GAAP and Non-GAAP Measure

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, employee stock purchase plan expense, non-recurring expenses and certain other non-cash expenses. For a full reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022 to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, refer to the presentation below.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Net Revenue

We derive our revenue from the sale of our foot and ankle orthopedic solutions, primarily implants. We also record as revenue any amounts billed to customers for shipping costs and record as cost of goods sold the actual shipping costs. We have elected to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes, such as sales, use, value-added, assessed by government authorities and collected from a customer. Therefore, revenue is recognized net of such taxes. In addition, we record revenue net of estimated losses for bad debt. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our net revenue in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022. We expect our net revenue to increase in the foreseeable future as we expand our sales territories, add new customers and increase the utilization of our products by our existing customers, though net revenue may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of factors, including availability of reimbursement, the size and success of our sales force, the number of hospitals and physicians who are aware of and use our products and seasonality.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of finished products purchased from third-party suppliers, shipping costs, excess and obsolete inventory adjustments and royalties. Implants are manufactured to our specifications primarily by third-party suppliers in the United States. Cost of goods sold is recognized at the time the implant is used in surgery and the related revenue is recognized. Prior to use in surgery, the cost of our implants is recorded as inventories, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cost of goods sold is expected to increase due primarily to increased sales volume.

We calculate gross profit as net revenue less cost of goods sold, and gross margin as gross profit divided by net revenue. We expect our gross profit to increase in the foreseeable future as our net revenue grows, though our gross profit and gross margin have been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, primarily average selling prices, third-party manufacturing costs, change in mix of customers, excess and obsolete inventory adjustments, royalties and seasonality of our business. Our gross margin is higher for products we sell in the United States versus internationally due to higher average selling prices. We expect our gross margin to fluctuate from period to period, however, based upon the factors described above and seasonality.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Research and development expense is comprised of engineering costs and research programs related to new product and sustaining product development activities, clinical studies and trials expenses, quality and regulatory expenses, and salaries, bonuses and benefits related to research and development functions. We maintain a procedurally focused approach to product development and have projects underway to add new systems across multiple foot and ankle indications and to add additional functionality to our existing systems. We expect our research and development expenses to increase as we hire additional personnel to develop new product offerings and product enhancements, including Smart 28.

2017

Selling, General, and Administrative

Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist primarily of commissions paid to U.S. sales representatives, salaries, bonuses, and benefits related to selling, marketing, and general and administrative functions, and stock-based compensation. In addition, selling, general, and administrative expenses consist of the costs associated with marketing initiatives, physician and sales force medical education programs, surgical instrument depreciation, travel expenses, professional services fees (including legal, finance, audit and tax fees), insurance costs, facility expenses and other general corporate expenses.

We expect selling, general, and administrative expenses to continue to increase in the foreseeable future as we continue to grow our business, though it may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. We also expect our administrative expenses, including stock-based compensation expense, to increase as we increase our headcount and expand our facilities and business processes to support our operations as a public company. Our selling, general and administrative expenses may fluctuate from period to period due to the seasonality of our business and as we continue to add direct sales territory managers in new territories.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense consists of interest incurred, ~~and~~ amortization of financing costs and interest income earned during the reported periods.

Net Revenue. Net revenue increased ~~$10.7~~$8.5 million, or ~~26%~~20%, from ~~$41.4~~$42.5 million during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 to ~~$52.0~~$51.0 million during the corresponding period in 2023. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar reduced net revenue growth for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 by ~~1.3%~~0.8% as compared to the prior year. U.S net revenue was ~~$45.0~~$42.3 million for ~~the~~ three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, representing growth of ~~25%~~15% compared to the prior year. U.S. net revenue growth was primarily the result of sales force expansion and new product launches. International revenue for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 was ~~$7.1~~$8.7 million, representing growth of ~~32%~~53% compared to the prior year. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar reduced international net revenue growth for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 by approximately ~~10.3%~~6.1% as compared to the prior year. International revenue growth was driven primarily by our operations in ~~South Africa, Australia~~United Kingdom, Spain and ~~the United Kingdom.~~Australia.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit Margin. Cost of goods sold increased ~~$2.1~~$1.2 million, or ~~31%~~16%, from ~~$6.8~~$7.6 million during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 to $8.9 million during the corresponding period in 2023, primarily due to increased variable costs from higher net revenue combined with an increase in outbound freight ~~costs and excess and obsolete inventory costs during the three months ended March 31, 2023~~. ~~As a result, gross~~costs. Gross profit margin for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 ~~decreased~~increased to ~~82.9%~~82.6%, compared to ~~83.6%~~82.0% in the same period of 2022.‌

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased ~~$1.3~~$1.7 million, or ~~22%~~28%, from ~~$5.8~~$6.0 million during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 to ~~$7.1~~$7.7 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2023. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to additional investments in new product development, international regulatory affairs, clinical studies and our quality management system.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased ~~$6.6~~$5.9 million, or ~~18%~~15%, from ~~$37.2~~$37.9 million induring the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 to $43.8million during the corresponding period in 2023. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily driven by investments in sales and marketing, including commercial team expansion both in the U.S. and in our international markets, increased variable sales representative commission expense related to U.S. net revenue growth and increased U.S. marketing and medical education programs.

Interest ~~Expense.~~Expense, net. Interest expense ~~increased~~decreased to ~~$1.2~~$0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $1.1 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 due to an increase in interest income from investment accounts.

Net Revenue. Net revenue increased $19.2 million, or 23%, from ~~$0.7~~$83.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $103.0 million during the corresponding period in 2023. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar reduced net revenue growth for the six months ended June 30, 2023 by 1.0% as compared to the prior year. U.S net revenue was $87.2 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, representing growth of 20% compared to the prior year. U.S. net revenue growth was primarily the result of sales force expansion and new product launches. International revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $15.8 million, representing growth of 43% compared to the prior year. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar reduced international net revenue growth for the six months ended June 30, 2023 by approximately 8.1% as compared to the prior year. International revenue growth was driven primarily by our operations in United Kingdom, Spain and Australia.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit Margin. Cost of goods sold increased $3.3 million, or 23%, from $14.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $17.8 million during the corresponding period in 2023, primarily due to increased variable costs from higher net revenue combined with an increase in outbound freight costs. Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2023 remained consistent at 82.8%, in-line with the same period of 2022.‌

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased $3.0 million, or 25%, from $11.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $14.7 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2023. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to additional investments in new product development, international regulatory affairs, clinical studies and our quality management system.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $12.5 million, or 17%, from $75.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $87.6 million during the corresponding period in 2023. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily driven by investments in sales and marketing, including commercial team expansion both in the U.S. and in our international markets, increased variable sales representative commission expense related to U.S. net revenue growth and increased U.S. marketing and medical education programs.

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense increased to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to higher levels of outstanding debt and higher interest rates on our outstanding debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had cash of $85.9 million and $38.5 million, and an accumulated deficit of $76.8 million and $67.8 million, respectively. We maintain cash balances with financial institutions in excess of insured limits.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $30.0 million principal amount outstanding and $10.0 million borrowing capacity under the Midcap Term Loan (as defined below) as well as $0 outstanding and $50.0 million borrowing capacity under the Midcap Revolving Loan (as defined below). As of March 31, 2023, we also had $15.4 million outstanding under the Zions Facility (as defined below).

We believe that our existing cash, additional available borrowings under our amended Midcap Credit Agreements (as defined below) and expected revenues will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements and fund our operations for the next 12 months.

Our primary sources of capital from inception through ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 have been from cash flows from operations, private placements of securities, proceeds from our public offerings and the incurrence of indebtedness. On January 30, 2023, we completed the Offering of 6,500,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $17.00 per share, which consisted of 3,750,000 shares of common stock issued and sold by us and 2,750,000 shares of common stock sold by certain selling securityholders. On February 17, 2023, the underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase an additional 562,500 shares and 412,500 shares of common stock from ~~the~~ us and the selling securityholders, respectively. We received aggregate net proceeds from the Offering of approximately $68.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us. We did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling securityholders.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had cash of $56.7 million and $38.5 million, and an accumulated deficit of $87.7 million and $67.8 million, respectively. We maintain cash balances with financial institutions in excess of insured limits.

~~Long-Term Obligations~~

~~MidCap Credit Agreements~~

~~On May 6, 2021,~~As of June 30, 2023, we ~~entered into a new credit agreement~~had $30.0 million principal amount outstanding and $10.0 million borrowing capacity under our term loan with ~~MidCap~~Midcap Financial Trust ~~to provide a total of $70.0~~as well as $0 outstanding and $50.0 million ~~in total~~ borrowing ~~including up to a $30.0 million~~capacity under our revolving loan ~~(“MidCap Revolving Loan”) and up to a $40.0 million term loan (“MidCap Term Loan”), secured by substantially all of our assets (“MidCap~~with Midcap Trust (collectively, the “Midcap Credit Agreements”). The MidCap Term Loan was comprised of two tranches, the first of which provided a commitment amount of $10.0 million, and the second a commitment of $30.0 million. The MidCap Term Loan and Midcap Revolving Loan bore a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 6% and LIBOR plus 3%, respectively, and mature on the earlier of May 1, 2026 or a change in control event (the "Termination Date"). The entire principal balances of the MidCap Revolving Loan and MidCap Term Loan are due on the Termination Date. Interest payments are payable monthly, with optional principal prepayments allowed under the MidCap Credit Agreements. The Midcap Credit Agreements required us to maintain minimum net product sales and minimum consolidated EBITDA, (each term as defined in the Midcap Credit Agreements), for the preceding twelve month period.‌

On November 9, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the MidCap Credit Agreements. The amendment to the Midcap Revolving Loan provides up to $50.0 million in total borrowing capacity. The MidCap amendments modified the MidCap Credit Agreements to include provisions related to the transition from the LIBOR Interest Rate plus Applicable Margin to the SOFR Interest Rate plus Applicable Margin, maintaining the Applicable Margin of 6% under the MidCap Term Loan and increasing the Applicable Margin from 3% to 3.75% under the Midcap Revolving Loan. In addition, the MidCap amendments amended certain covenants, terms and provisions in the Midcap Credit Agreements to, among other things, modify the covenant levels for the Minimum Net Product Sales financial covenant and to remove the Minimum Consolidated EBITDA financial covenant. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, we ~~were in compliance with all financial covenants~~also had $15.3 million outstanding under ~~the amended Midcap Credit Agreements.~~

~~Zions Term Loan Facility~~

~~On March 24, 2022, we entered into a~~our secured term loan facility ~~(the “Zions Facility”)~~ with Zions Bancorporation, N.A., dba Vectra Bank Colorado in(the “Zion Facility”). For additional information about the ~~principal amount of $16.0 million. The loans under~~Midcap Credit Agreements and our secured term with the ~~Zions~~Zion Facility, ~~(i) bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal~~refer to the sum of (a) a one-month Term SOFR based rate, plus (b) 1.75%, adjusted on a monthly basis and (ii) mature on March 24, 2037. Principal and interest payments are payable monthly, with optional prepayments allowed without premium or penalty. We used the Zions Facility to finance the purchase of our Denver, Colorado headquarters.Note 6.

Effective as of November 10, 2022, we entered into the First Amendment to the Zions Facility. The amendment to the Zions Facility amends the financial covenants to require us to maintain (i) the Liquidity Ratio, if the Cash Flow as of the last day of any quarter measured on a trailing three month basis is less than or equal to $0, and (ii) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio which will be calculated as of the last day of each quarter on a trailing four quarter basis, as well as a certain level of Liquidity, if the Cash Flow is greater than $0. In addition, a Net Revenue Growth covenant was added which will be calculated as of the last day of each quarter on a year-over-year basis. As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the amended Zions Facility.

~~Funding Requirements~~

We ~~use~~believe that our existing cash, additional available borrowing capacity under our Midcap Credit Agreements and expected revenues will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements and fund our operations which primarily include the costs of purchasing our foot and ankle orthopedic implants and disposables and associated instrumentation, as well as our operating expenses, including research and development and selling, general and administrative. We have invested heavily in both research and development and expansion of our sales and marketing functions and expect to continue to make substantial investments in these areas. We have also made significant investments in general and administrative expense as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") listing standards, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities, and other administrative and professional services. While we do not expect to make significant incremental investments in general administrative expense, we expect our operating expenses to increase for the ~~foreseeable future as we continue~~next 12 months. Our primary short-term needs for capital for our planned operations, which are subject to ~~invest in~~ change, include:

•

expanding our research and development initiatives to improve our existing products and ~~as we continue to expand~~develop new products and solutions; and

•

continued commercialization efforts and expansion of our sales and marketing infrastructure and programs to ~~both~~ drive ~~and support~~ anticipated sales ~~growth.~~ growth in the United States and elsewhere;

We have based our ~~projected~~short-term capital needs and planned operating requirements on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect and we may use all our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development, and commercialization of our products, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our operating capital requirements. The timing and amount of our operating expenditures will depend on many factors, including:

•

~~the research and development activities we intend to undertake in order to improve our existing products and development new products and solutions;~~

•

the costs of our ongoing commercialization activities in the United States and elsewhere, including expanding territories, increasing sales and marketing personnel, actual and anticipated product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution;

•

~~whether or not we pursue acquisitions or investments in businesses, products or technologies that are complementary to our current business;~~

•

~~the degree and rate of market acceptance of our products;~~

•

~~the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights;~~

•

~~our need to implement additional infrastructure and internal systems;~~

•

~~the emergence of competing technologies or other adverse market developments;~~

•

~~any product liability or other lawsuits;~~

•

~~the expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel;~~

•

~~changes or fluctuations in our inventory and surgical instrumentation;~~

•

~~our implementation of various computerized information systems;~~

•

~~the costs associated with being a public company; and~~

•

~~the costs associated with any adverse market conditions or other macroeconomic factors.~~

~~As a result of these and other factors, although~~Although not anticipated at this time, we may require additional financing to fund our operations and planned growth. We may also seek additional financing opportunistically. We may seek to raise any additional capital by entering into partnerships or through public or private equity offerings or debt financings, credit or loan facilities or a combination of one or more of these funding sources. Additional funds may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we fail to obtain necessary capital when needed on acceptable terms, or at all, we could be forced to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development programs, commercialization efforts or other operations. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders will suffer dilution and the terms of any financing may adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. In addition, as a condition to providing additional funds to us, future investors may demand, and may be granted, rights superior to those of existing stockholders. If we raise additional capital through collaborations agreements, licensing arrangements or marketing and distribution arrangements, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product or grant licenses that may not be favorable to us. Debt financing, if available, ~~is likely to~~may involve restrictive covenants limiting our flexibility in conducting future business activities, and, in the event of insolvency, debt holders would be repaid before holders of our equity securities received any distribution of our corporate assets. In addition, market conditions impacting financial institutions could impact our ability to access some or all of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and we may be unable to obtain alternative funding when and as needed on acceptable terms, if at all.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies or in the methodology used for estimates from those described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report for recently adopted pronouncements as of the date of this report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal and provide liquidity. Since our results of operations are not dependent on investments, the risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to our investment portfolio, and we believe that a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a significant impact on our financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. We do not currently use or plan to use financial derivatives in our investment portfolio. We do not currently engage in hedging transactions to manage our exposure to interest rate risk, but we do not believe the changing interest rates on our variable interest rate facilities would have a significant impact on our results of operations.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our business is primarily conducted in U.S. dollars. Any transactions that may be conducted in foreign currencies are not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. As we expand internationally our results of operations and cash flows may become increasingly subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We may in the ordinary course of business face various claims brought by third parties and we may, from time to time, make claims or take legal actions to assert our rights, including intellectual property rights as well as claims relating to employment matters and the safety or efficacy of our products. Any of these claims could cause us to incur substantial costs and, while we generally believe that we have adequate insurance to cover many different types of liabilities, our insurance carriers may deny coverage, may be inadequately capitalized to pay on valid claims, or our policy limits may be inadequate to fully satisfy any associated costs, damage awards or settlements. If this were to happen, the payment of any such awards could have a material adverse effect on our operations, cash flows and financial position. Additionally, any such claims, whether or not successful, could damage our reputation and business. We were not involved in any legal proceedings as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable

Item 5. Other Information.

~~None~~During the three months ended June 30, 2023, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
