CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding, among other things, our growth prospects, the prospects for our products and our confidence in our future. These statements may be identified by words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “promises” and other words and terms of similar meaning. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements we make regarding our ability to increase demand for our products and services, to leverage our Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry platform, to expand into new markets, to grow our market share, our expectations regarding revenue trends in our segments and the achievement of cost efficiencies through process improvement. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including important factors that could delay, divert or change any of these expectations, and could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from current expectations. These factors include, among other things:
our ability to identify acquisition candidates, acquire them on attractive terms and integrate their operations into our business;
our ability to educate physicians and continue to obtain prescriptions for our products and services;
changes to insurance coverage and reimbursement levels by Medicare and commercial payors for our products and services;
our ability to attract and retain talented executive management and sales personnel;
the commercialization of new competitive products;
acceptance of our new products and services, such as our mobile cardiac telemetry (“MCT”) patch;
our ability to obtain and maintain required regulatory approvals for our products, services and manufacturing facilities;
changes in governmental regulations and legislation;
adverse regulatory action;
our ability to obtain and maintain adequate protection of our intellectual property;
interruptions or delays in the telecommunications systems that we use;

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Principles of Consolidation & Reclassifications
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and include the accounts of BioTelemetry, Inc. and its controlled subsidiaries (“BioTelemetry,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, as of March 31, 2019 and the results of operations, and statements of comprehensive income, cash flows, and equity for the interim three monthsperiods ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018 have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for any interim period are not indicative of the results of the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but which are not required for interim reporting purposes, have been omitted. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period statements to conform to the current period presentation. These consist of combining our contract liabilities into accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet and combining the non-cash operating items of equity method investment loss the change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration and lease income/(expense) into other non-cash items, a component of our net cash provided by operating activities on our consolidated statements of cash flows. The reclassifications had no impact on previously reported current liabilities, working capital, consolidated results of operations, cash flows or accumulated deficit.
b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
c) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exit price, the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels, as defined below. Observable inputs are inputs a market participant would use in valuing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our own assumptions about the factors a market participant would use in valuing an asset or liability developed using the best information available in the circumstances. The classification of an asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Level 1 -Quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability.
Level 2 -Inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
BIOTELEMETRY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)


Level 3 -Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability, based on our own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, Healthcare accounts receivable, other accounts receivable, accounts payable, acquisition-related contingent consideration, short-term debt and long-term debt. With the exception of acquisition-related contingent consideration and long-term debt, the carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value because of their short-term nature (classified as Level 1).
Our long-term debt (classified as Level 2) is measured using market prices for similar instruments, inputs such as the borrowing rates currently available, benchmark yields, actual trade data, broker/dealer quotes and other similar data obtained from quoted market prices or independent pricing vendors.
The fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration (classified as Level 3) is measured on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs.a Monte Carlo simulation. This model uses assumptions, including estimated projected revenues, estimated stock price volatility in future periods, estimated discount rates and discounts for the lack of marketability of common stock. In addition to the recurring fair value measurements, the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with a business combination are recorded at fair value, primarily using a discounted cash flow model (classified as Level 3). This valuation technique requires us to make certain assumptions, including future operating performance and cash flows, royalty raterates and other such variables, which are discounted to present value using a discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with future cash flow, the characteristics of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the experience of the acquired business. Non-financial assets such as goodwill, intangible assets, and property and equipment are subsequently measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when an impairment is recognized. We assess the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable.
d) Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Healthcare accounts receivable is recorded at the time Healthcare segment revenue is recognized and is presented on the consolidated balance sheet net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. For our contracted payors, we determine revenue based on negotiated prices for the services provided. Based on our history, we have experience collecting substantially all of the negotiated contracted rates and are therefore not providing an implicit price concession. As a result, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on historical collection trends to account for the risk of patient default. Because of continuing changes in the health care industry and third-party reimbursement, it is possible that our estimates of collectability could change, which could have a material impact on our operations and cash flows.
Other accounts receivable is related to the Research segment and Corporate and Other category and is recorded at the time revenue is recognized, when products are shipped or services are performed. We estimate an allowance for doubtful accounts on a specific account basis and consider several factors in our analysis, including customer specific information.
We write off receivables when the likelihood for collection is remote, we believe collection efforts have been fully exhausted and we do not intend to devote additional resources in attempting to collect. We perform write-offs on a monthly basis.

e) Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration
Acquisition-related contingent consideration is our obligation, arising from a business combination, to transfer additional assets and/or equity interests to the seller if certain future events occur or conditions are met. The fair value of the contingency is estimated as of the acquisition date using certain unobservable inputs (and therefore classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy) and is recorded as a liability and/or equity depending on the terms of the acquisition agreement. We re-measure the estimated fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration classified as a liability at the end ofeach reporting date. Adjustments subsequent to the acquisition measurement period due to the passage of time are recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Adjustments subsequent to the acquisition measurement period due to changes in estimates and assumptions are recorded in other charges in the consolidated statements of operations. Changes to the inputs used in the measurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration include, but are not limited to: changes in the assumptions regarding probabilities of successful achievement of future events or conditions; the estimated timing in which the future events or conditions are achieved; estimated revenue projections; discounts for lack of marketability of our common stock; estimated stock price volatility; and the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the liability. Acquisition-related contingent consideration may change significantly as our inputs and assumptions noted above evolve and additional data is obtained. The inputs and assumptions used in estimating fair value require significant judgment. The use of different assumptions and judgments could result in different fair value estimates that may have a material impact on our results from operations and financial position.
f) Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, Healthcare accounts receivable and other accounts receivable. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions to mitigate this risk. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral. We record an allowance for doubtful accounts in accordance with the procedures described above. Past-due amounts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when collections are believed to be unlikely and all collection efforts have ceased.
At March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, one payor, Medicare, accounted for 13% and 15%, respectively, of our gross accounts receivable.
g) Noncontrolling Interest
The consolidated financial statements reflect the application of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 - Consolidations, which establishes accounting and reporting standards that require: (i) the ownership interest in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent to be clearly identified and presented in the consolidated balance sheet within stockholders’ equity but separate from the parent’s equity; (ii) the amount of consolidated net income/(loss) attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented in the consolidated statements of operations; and (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary to be accounted for consistently.

h) Leases
We lease our administrative and service facilities, as well as certain office equipment, monitoring devices and information technology equipment under arrangements classified as leases under ASC 842 - Leases (“ASC 842”). We adopted ASC 842 using the optional modified retrospective transition method as of January 1, 2019, therefore prior period amounts are not restated.
BIOTELEMETRY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)


We recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets at the inception of the arrangement as the present value of the lease payments plus our initial direct costs (if any), less any lease incentives. The corresponding liability is computed as the present value of the lease payments at inception. Assets are classified as either operating ROU assets or finance ROU assets according to the classification criteria in ASC 842.842. Upon the adoption of ASC 842, we elected the transition practical expedients to not reassess lease identification, lease classification and initial indirect costs related to those leases entered into prior to adoption of ASC 842 and to not separate lease and non-lease components where we are the lessor when the requisite criteria is met to be treated as such. The present value of the lease payments is computed using the rate implicit in the lease (if known) or our incremental borrowing rate.
Operating lease costs are charged to operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Interest charged on the finance lease liabilities is charged to interest expense, while the amortization of the finance lease ROU asset is also charged to operations on a straight-line basis.
Under our policy, we do not record an ROU asset or corresponding liability for arrangements where the initial lease term is one year or less, or for whichwhen the ROU asset at inception is deemed immaterial. Those leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Effective January 1, 2019, for our operating leases, we record the ROU assets as a component of other assets, the current lease liability as a component of accrued liabilities, and the long-term lease liability as a component other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. For our finance leases, we record the ROU asset and the accumulated amortization for the finance ROU asset as a component of property and equipment, net, with the current and long-term portions of the finance lease obligations as separate lines within our consolidated balance sheet. We amortize the finance ROU assets over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated life of the asset.
i) Stock-Based Compensation
ASC 718 -Compensation—Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for: (i) equity instruments of the enterprise or (ii) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. ASC 718 requires that an entity measure the cost of equity-based service awards issued to employees, such as stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize the cost of such awards over the requisite service period (generally, the vesting period of the award). The compensation expense associated with performance stock units (“PSUs”) is recognized ratably over the period between when the performance conditions are deemed probable of achievement and when the awards are vested. Performance stock options (“PSOs”) are valued and stock-based compensation expense is recorded once the performance conditions of the outstanding PSOs have achieved probability. Prior to July 1, 2018, we accounted for equity awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees; see “m) Recent Accounting Pronouncements; Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted” for further details related to our adoption of Accounting Standards

Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and our current accounting for equity awards issued to non-employees.
We have historically recorded stock-based compensation expense based on the number of stock options or RSUs we expect to vest using our historical forfeiture experience and we periodically update

those forfeiture rates to apply to new grants. While we early adopted ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting during the year ended December 31, 2016, we have elected to continue to estimate forfeitures under the true-up provision of ASC 718.718. We record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated and record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated.
We estimate the fair value of our stock options using the Black‑Scholes option valuation model. The Black‑Scholes option valuation model requires the use of certain subjective assumptions. The most significant of these assumptions are the estimates of the expected volatility of the market price of our stock and the expected term of the award. We base our estimates of expected volatility on the historical average of our stock price. The expected term represents the period of time that share‑based awards granted are expected to be outstanding. Other assumptions used in the Black‑Scholes option valuation model include the risk‑free interest rate and expected dividend yield. The risk‑free interest rate for periods pertaining to the expected term of each option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield of a similar duration in effect at the time of grant. We have never paid, and do not expect to pay, dividends in the foreseeable future.
We estimate the fair value of our PSUs using a Monte Carlo simulation. This model uses assumptions, including the risk free interest rate, expected volatility of our stock price and those of the performance group, dividends of the performance group members and expected life of the awards. As noted above, we continue to estimate forfeitures under the true-up provision of ASC 718.718. If it is deemed probable that the PSU performance targets will be met, compensation expense is recorded for these awards ratably over the requisite service period. The PSUs are forfeited to the extent the performance criteria are not met within the service period.
j) Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the liability method, as described in ASC 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax and consolidated financial statement reporting bases of assets and liabilities. When we determine that we will not be able to realize our deferred tax assets, we adjust the carrying value of the deferred tax asset through the valuation allowance.
Under ASC 740, the effects of changes in tax rates and tax laws on deferred tax balances are recognized in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. The total effect of tax law changes on deferred tax balances is recorded as a component of income tax expense.
We record uncertainunrecognized tax positionsbenefits in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (i) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
Under ASC 740, the effects of changes in tax rates and tax laws on deferred tax balances are recognized in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. The total effect of tax law changes on deferred tax balances is recorded as a component of income tax expense.

k) Net Income/(Loss) Per Share
We compute net income/(loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260 - Earnings Per Share. Basic net income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options, RSUs, PSOs and PSUs, using

the treasury stock method and shares expected to be issued in connection with acquisition-related contingent consideration arrangements when dilutive.
Certain stock options, which are priced higher than the average market price of our shares for the quarters ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and March 31,June 30, 2018 would be anti-dilutive and therefore have been excluded from the weighted average shares used in computing diluted net income per share. These options could become dilutive in future periods. Similarly, certain recently granted RSUs and PSUs are also excluded using the treasury stock method as their impact would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of weighted average shares outstanding excludes approximately 0.30.6 million and 0.4 million shares for the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31,June 30, 2019, respectively, and excludes approximately 0.6 million and 0.7 million shares for the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31,June 30, 2018, respectively, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive on our net income per share.
l) Segment Information
ASC 280 - Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance.
We report our business under two segments: Healthcare and Research. The Healthcare segment is focused on remote cardiac monitoring to identify cardiac arrhythmias or heart rhythm disorders and to monitor the functionality of implantable cardiac devices. We offer cardiologists, electrophysiologists, neurologists and primary care physicians a full spectrum of solutions, which provides them with a single source of cardiac monitoring services. The Research segment is engaged in centralized core laboratory services providing cardiac monitoring, imaging services, scientific consulting and data management services for drug and medical device trials. Included in the Corporate and Other category is the manufacturing, testing and marketing of cardiac and blood glucose monitoring devices to medical companies, clinics and hospitals and corporate overhead and other items not allocated to any of our reportable segments.
m) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The updated guidance also requires an entity to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement. Historically, our implementation costs incurred in hosting service contracts have not been material. We early adopted this standard effective April 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. Upon adoption, our cloud computing implementation costs are deferred and recorded as a component of technology within intangible assets in our consolidated balance sheet and amortized to selling, general and administrative costs over the life of the service arrangement on our statement of operations. This update did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In August 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. Additionally, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the consolidated statements of equity for interim consolidated financial statements. Under the amendments, a summary of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the consolidated balance sheets must be provided in a note or separate statement. The consolidated statements of equity should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is required to be

filed. This final rule was effective in the fourth quarter of 2018. The SEC provided relief on the effective date until the first quarter of 2019, and we adopted this rule in the first quarter of 2019.
In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting(“ASU 2018-07”). This update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The amendments in ASU 2018-07 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this standard on July 1, 2018, effective January 1, 2018, and this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This standard, along with several subsequent updates, requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet, make selected changes to lessor accounting and disclose additional key information about leases. We adopted these updates on January 1, 2019, using the optional modified retrospective transition approachmethod utilizing practical expedients available. The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording, as of January 1, 2019, of additional ROU assets of $22.7 million as a component of other assets, current ROU liabilities of $6.2 million as a component of accrued liabilities and long-term ROU liabilities of $16.5 million, all of which relate to our operating leases. The adoption of the new standard did not materially impact our consolidated results of operations and had no impact on our cash flows.

Disaggregation of Revenue
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by payor type and major service line. We determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective of illustrating the differences in the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue streams. Disaggregated revenue by payor type and major service line for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

Remote Cardiac Monitoring Services Revenue (Healthcare segment)
Healthcare segment revenue is generated by remote cardiac monitoring to identify cardiac arrhythmias or heart rhythm disorders and to monitor the functionality of implantable cardiac devices. We offer cardiologists, electrophysiologists, neurologists and primary care physicians a full spectrum of solutions, which provides them with a single source of cardiac monitoring services.
Performance obligations are determined based on the nature of the services provided. With our remote cardiac monitoring services, the patient receives the benefits of the service over time, resulting in revenue recognition over time based on the output method. We believe that this method provides an accurate depiction of the transfer of value over the term of the performance obligation because the level of effort in providing these services is consistent during the service period.
A summary of the payment arrangements with payors is as follows:
Contracted payors (including Medicare): We determine the transaction price based on negotiated prices for services provided, on a case rate basis, as provided for under the relevant Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) codes.
BIOTELEMETRY, INC.

(Unaudited)


Non-contracted payors: Non-contracted commercial and government insurance carriers often reimburse out-of-network rates provided for under the relevant CPT codes on a case rate basis. Our transaction price includes implicit price concessions based on our historical collection experience for our non-contracted patients.
We are utilizing the portfolio approach practical expedient in ASC 606 for our patient contracts in the Healthcare segment. We account for the contracts within each portfolio as a collective group, rather than individual contracts. Based on our history with these portfolios and the similar nature and
BIOTELEMETRY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)


characteristics of the patients within each portfolio, we have concluded that the financial statement effects are not materially different than if accounting for revenue on a contract-by-contract basis.
For the contracted portfolio, we have historical experience of collecting substantially all of the negotiated contractual rates and determined at contract inception that these customers have the intention and ability to pay the promised consideration. As such, we are not providing an implicit price concession but, rather, have chosen to accept the risk of default, and adjustments to the transaction price are recorded as bad debt expense.
For our non-contracted portfolio, we are providing an implicit price concession because we do not have a contract with the underlying payor, the result of which requires us to estimate our transaction price based on historical cash collections utilizing the expected value method. Subsequent adjustments to the transaction price are recorded as an adjustment to Healthcare segment revenue and not as bad debt expense.
We have not made any significant changes to judgments in applying ASC 606 to the Healthcare segment during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019.
Clinical Trial Support and Related Services Revenue (Research segment)
Research segment revenue is generated by providing centralized core laboratory services, including cardiac monitoring, imaging services, scientific consulting and data management services for drug and medical device trials. These amounts are due from pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations. We bill our customers on a fee for service basis. Under a typical contract, some customers pay us a portion of our fee upon contract execution as an upfront refundable deposit. Upfront deposits are deferred and then recognized as the services are performed. If a contract is canceled prior to service being provided, the upfront deposit is refunded.
Performance obligations are determined based on the nature of the services provided by us. Our core laboratory services are provided over time as the customer receives benefits resulting in revenue recognition over the term of the contract. Our research customer contracts have legally enforceable terms that are predominately thirty days due to termination for convenience clauses, which are held by the customer with no significant penalty. Given the short-term nature of these contracts and the structure of our billing practices, our billing practices approximate our performance if measured by an output method, where each output is an individual occurrence of each performance obligation. Accordingly, we utilize the invoice practical expedient as defined in ASC 606, resulting in recognition of revenue in the amount that we have the right to invoice.
We have not made any significant changes to judgments in applying ASC 606 to the Research segment during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019.
BIOTELEMETRY, INC.

Other Revenue (Other category)
Our Other category revenue is primarily derived from the sale of non-invasive cardiac monitors to healthcare companies, wireless blood glucose meters and test strips to wholesale distributors of diabetes supplies and diabetic patients, as well as product repairs. Performance obligations are primarily the sale of devices, related goods and repairs provided by us. These contracts transfer control to a customer at a point in time based on the transfer of title for the underlying good or service. We provide standard warranty provisions.
BIOTELEMETRY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)


We determine the transaction price based on fixed consideration in our contractual agreements with our customers and allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling price. We determine the relative stand-alone selling price utilizing our observable prices for the sale of the underlying goods.
We have not made any significant changes to judgments in applying ASC 606 to the Other category during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
ASC 606 requires an entity to present a revenue contract as a contract asset when the entity performs its obligations under the contract by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due. ASC 606 also requires an entity to present a revenue contract as a contract liability in instances when a customer pays consideration, or an entity has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (e.g. receivable), before the entity transfers a good or service to the customer.
We currently do not have any material contract assets.
As of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had contract liabilities of $2.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively, primarily related to the Research segment where customers paid upfront deposits upon contract execution for future services to be performed by us. If the contract is canceled, these upfront deposits are refundable if service was not yet provided. Our contract liabilities are now included as a component of accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, the amount recognized as revenue from the contract liabilities balance at March 31, 2019 was $0.9 million, while for the six months ended June 30, 2019, the amount recognized as revenue from the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2018 was $1.0 million, while$1.6 million. Similarly, for the three months ended June 30, 2018, the amount recognized as revenue from the contract liabilities balance at March 31, 2018 was $1.4 million, while for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the amount recognized as revenue from the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2017 was $1.5$2.2 million. No significant changes or impairment losses occurred to contract balances during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019.
Practical Expedient Elections
We have elected the following practical expedients in applying ASC 606 across all reportable segments unless otherwise noted below.
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations: Because all of our performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of less than one year, we have elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC 606 and, therefore, are not required to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period.
BIOTELEMETRY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)


Contract Costs: All incremental customer contract acquisition costs are expensed as they are incurred as the amortization period of the asset that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less in duration.
BIOTELEMETRY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)


Significant Financing Component: We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as we expect, at contract inception, that the period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
Sales Tax Exclusion from the Transaction Price: We exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by us from the customer.
Shipping and Handling Activities: For our other category revenue, we account for shipping and handling activities we perform after a customer obtains control of the good as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good.


3. Acquisitions
ADEA Medical AB
During the second quarter of 2019, we acquired all of the remaining outstanding equity of ADEA Medical AB (“ADEA”), a limited liability company incorporated and registered under the laws of Sweden. ADEA provides cardiac monitoring in northern Europe.
Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, we agreed to issue the owners of ADEA 50,000 shares of our common stock, with a fair value of approximately $2.1 million, as well as to pay approximately $0.2 million in cash. The shares are restricted, with the restrictions related to 10,000 shares expiring in the fourth quarter of 2019, and the restrictions on the remaining 40,000 shares expiring in the second quarter of 2022, and are available to satisfy indemnification obligations.
Prior to the second quarter of 2019, we accounted for our 23.8% stake in ADEA as an equity method investment. We accounted for the acquisition of the remaining equity of ADEA as a step acquisition, which required us to re-measure our previous ownership interest to fair value prior to application of purchase accounting and recognize the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the equity method investment. The total preliminary purchase price of ADEA is $3.3 million, primarily consisting of the equity and cash consideration paid in the second quarter of 2019, plus the amounts paid for our initial investment in ADEA in 2018. We then allocated this purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquired net assets consisted primarily of customer relationships and non-compete agreements. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been recognized as goodwill, which represents the expected future benefits arising from the assembled workforce and other synergies attributable to cost savings opportunities. We have preliminarily recognized $2.3 million of goodwill as a result of the acquisition, all of which has been assigned to the Healthcare segment. None of this goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.
We have recorded our preliminary fair value estimates related to the ADEA acquisition as of June 30, 2019, which are subject to subsequent adjustment as additional information is obtained during the applicable measurement period. The primary areas of these estimates that are not yet finalized relate to the identifiable intangible assets and the accounting for deferred income taxes. We expect to finalize all accounting for the ADEA acquisition within one year of the acquisition date.

We do not consider this acquisition to be significant to our results of operations. The transaction costs related to this acquisition and revenues and results of operations of ADEA prior to our acquisition were all immaterial.
Geneva Healthcare, Inc.
On March 1, 2019, we acquired Geneva Healthcare, Inc. (“Geneva”) for aggregatecash consideration of cash in the amount of $45.9 million. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 25, 2019, by and among Geneva, BioTelemetry, Inc.;, Tyersall Merger Sub, Inc., and the Securityholders’Securityholders Representative (the “Geneva Agreement”), on the third anniversary date of the closing date, the Securityholders (as defined in the Geneva Agreement)Agreement) are eligible to receive additional consideration in the form of cash payments, as well as shares of BioTelemetry common stock.stock, with a total estimated present value of $32.0 million as of the March 1, 2019 acquisition date, for a total aggregate purchase price of $77.9 million. Concurrent with the closing of the acquisition, the Securityholders have made elections as to the percentage mix of their total additional consideration to be settled in cash or common stock.
The additional consideration consists of the following:
The Securityholders will, subject to potential deductions pursuant to the Geneva Agreement, receiveestimated additional consideration of $20.0$32.0 million, a total of $11.1 million of which will be paid in cash, and the remaining value will be settled in shares. We will issue a total of 131,594 shares of our common stock to settle the share-related portion of the obligation, based on the elections made by the Securityholders and the formulas within the Geneva Agreement.
The estimated present value of the future cash payment of $11.1 million, which totals $9.3 million as of the acquisition date, as well as the estimated fair value of our common stock of $8.9 million, has been included within the preliminary purchase price for Geneva. The estimated present value of the future cash payment is recorded as a component of other long-term liabilities and will be accreted to its redemption value through interest expense through the payment date. The estimated fair value of the 131,594 shares our common stock has been recorded within paid-in-capital.

We accounted for the transaction as a business combination, and as such, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been recognized as goodwill, which represents the expected future benefits arising from the assembled workforce and other synergies attributable to cost savings opportunities. We have preliminarily recognized $64.9$62.8 million of goodwill as a result of the acquisition, all of which has been assigned to the Healthcare segment. None of this goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.
The amounts below represent our preliminary fair value estimates related to the Geneva acquisition as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and are subject to subsequent adjustment as additional information is obtained during the applicable measurement period. Measurement period adjustments recorded during the second quarter of 2019 consisted primarily of decreasing additional consideration by $2.2 million. The primary areas of these estimates that are not yet finalized relate to certain tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including deferred taxes, as well as the identifiable intangible assets and the fair value of the additional consideration. We expect to finalize all accounting for the Geneva acquisition within one year of the acquisition date.

On October 2, 2018, we acquired, through our subsidiary Telcare Medical Supply, LLC, certain assets of ActiveCare, Inc. (“ActiveCare”) for $3.8 million in cash. The purchase price also includes a potential earn-out payment of $2.0 million, which is contingent on the achievement of certain revenue targets. We accounted for the transaction as a business combination, and as such, all assets acquired were recorded at their estimated fair values.

5. Fair Value Measurements
We have determined that our long-term debt, classified as Level 2, has a fair value consistent with its carrying value, exclusive of debt discount and deferred charges, of $197.6$196.6 million and $198.5 million as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Acquisition-related contingent consideration represents our contingent payment obligations related to our acquisitions and is measured at fair value, based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of acquisition-related contingent consideration uses assumptions we believe would be made by a market participant. We assess these estimates on an ongoing basis as additional data impacting the assumptions is obtained. The balance of the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration is recognized within other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31,June 30, 2019. Subsequent to the measurement period, adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration are recorded in other charges in the consolidated statements of operations.

In conjunction with the Geneva acquisition, we recognized $16.0$13.2 million of acquisition-related contingent consideration on March 1, 2019 as a component of other long-term liabilities, as the contingency will be finalized after the third anniversary of the closing date. The impact of the change in fair value of the Geneva acquisition-related contingent consideration during the first quarter of 2019 was de minimis. There was no value assigned to the acquisition-related contingent consideration related to the ActiveCare acquisition as the achievement of the contingency was not probable as of March 31,June 30, 2019.

fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration related to the Geneva acquisition was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation, that considered numerous variables, including estimated projected revenues and estimated stock price volatility in future periods, as well as estimated discount rates and discounts for lack of marketability of common stock. These estimates are subject to a significant level of judgment.
During the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, excluding the measurement period adjustments, the acquisition-related contingent consideration related to the Geneva acquisition declined $1.8 million due primarily to changes in estimates associated with our future stock price. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the fair values of the acquisition-related contingent consideration related to our 2016 Telcare acquisition decreased $0.7 million, as it was no longer probable that any of the contingencies related to the Telcare acquisition would be met.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and in conjunction with the accompanying quarterly unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth herein and elsewhere in this report and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). See the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this report. Unless otherwise noted, the figures in the following discussions are unaudited.
Company Background
We are the leading remote medical technology company focused on the delivery of health information to improve quality of life and reduce cost of care. We provide remote cardiac monitoring, remote blood glucose monitoring, centralized core lablaboratory services for clinical trials and original


equipment manufacturing that serves both healthcare and clinical research customers. We operate under two reportable segments: Healthcare and Research. Healthcare is focused on the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias or heart rhythm disorders, as well as monitoring the functionality of implantable cardiac devices. We offer cardiologists, electrophysiologists, neurologists and primary care physicians a full spectrum of solutions, which provides them with a single source of cardiac monitoring services. These services range from the differentiated remote cardiac telemetry service to event, traditional Holter, extended-wear Holter, Pacemaker and International Normalized Ratio monitoring. Research is engaged in centralcentralized core laboratory services providing cardiac monitoring, imaging services, scientific consulting and data management services for drug and medical device trials. Included in the Corporate and Other category is the revenue received from the sale of non-invasive cardiac monitors to healthcare companies, wireless blood glucose meters and test strips to wholesale distributors of diabetes supplies and diabetic patients as well as product repairs, manufacturing, testing and marketing of cardiac and blood glucose monitoring devices to medical companies, clinics and hospitals and corporate overhead and other items not allocated to any of our reportable segments.
Recent Developments
On March 1, 2019, we acquired Geneva Healthcare, Inc. (“Geneva”), an early stage company that provides remote monitoring for implantable cardiac devices utilizing a proprietary cloud-based platform.
We acquired Geneva as part of our business strategy to go deeper and wider into the cardiac monitoring market. Geneva has developed an innovative proprietary cloud-based platform that aggregates data from the leading cardiac device manufacturers, enabling the companyCompany to remotely monitor a physician’s patients with implantable cardiac devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators and loop recorders. Geneva’sGeneva’s platform provides physicians a single portal to order patient monitoring, review monitoring results and request routine device checks, helping drive significant in-office efficiencies and patient compliance. We plan to merge this functionality with that of the Healthcare segment user interface, providing evenwhich we believe will drive greater workflow and data management efficiencies to the clients we serve.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have prepared the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in “Part I; Item 1. Financial Statements” of this report in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). This requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, analysis of current trends, and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We periodically reevaluate our accounting policies, assumptions, and estimates and make adjustments when facts and circumstances warrant. Our significant accounting policies are described in “Part II; Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data; Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements; Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The accounting policies and related assumptions that we


consider to be more critical to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and involve the most significant management judgments and estimates are described in “Part II; Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Except for the implementation of Accounting Standards CodifictionCodification (“ASC”) 842 - Leases and the acquisition-related contingent consideration associated with the Geneva acquisition, there


were no material changes in, or additions to, our critical accounting policies or in the assumptions or estimates we used to prepare the financial information appearing in this report.

We adopted ASC 842 - Leases, effective January 1, 2019, which resulted in the recognition of most of our operating leases on our balance sheet, both as a right-of-use asset and right-of-use liability. Since we adopted this standard using the optional modified retrospective method, we have not restated prior year amounts.

For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, non-cash adjustments to income primarily relate to bad debt, depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense and deferred taxes, offset by the changes in deferred taxes.acquisition-related contingent consideration. The decrease in cash used for working capital was primarily due primarily to the timing of cash receipts and cash payments, andas well as changes in accruals. The increase in cash used in investing activities iswas primarily due to the Geneva acquisition. The increase in the cash used in financing activities was due to increased payments of tax withholdings related to vesting of share-based awards, the increase in our principal payments on our long-term debt and a decrease in the proceeds received related to the exercise of stock options, offset partially by impact of the prior year acquistion of noncontrolling interests.
In conjunction with the LifeWatch acquisition in 2017, we established a new credit agreement with SunTrust Bank and lenders named therein in the form of a $205.0 million term loan and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility. For further details regarding this agreement, please see “Part II; Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data; Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements; Note 11. Credit Agreement” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. As of March 31,June 30, 2019, our revolving credit facility remains undrawn.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our contractual obligations payable in 2022 reflected in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 have materially changed as a result of the additional consideration related to our Geneva acquisition. On March 1, 2022, the Securityholders (as defined in the Geneva Agreement) are eligible, subject to potential deductions pursuant to the Geneva Agreement, to receive additional cash consideration of $11.1 million. The $11.1 million cash payment is the minimum cash portion of the earn-out payment, and there is no cap on the size of the cash earn-out payment. Therefore, this cash payment could increase significantly. Currently, we estimate the total cash earn-out payment in 2022 will be $21.5 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31,June 30, 2019 were $45.5$51.7 million. We do not invest in any short-term or long-term securities, nor do we hold any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
At March 31,June 30, 2019, we had $197.6$196.6 million of variable rate debt, inclusive of debt discounts and deferred charges, at a rate of LIBOR plus the applicable margin, or the prime rate plus the applicable margin.


A 1.0% change in either the LIBOR rate, prime rate, or the applicable margin would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $2.0 million. For further details regarding the debt, rates or applicable margin, please refer to “Part II; Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data; Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements; Note 11. Credit Agreement” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.



Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer (the Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (the Principal Financial Officer) have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31,June 30, 2019.  This evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Geneva, which was acquired in the first quarter of 2019, nor ADEA, which was acquired in the second quarter of 2019, due to the timing of these acquisitions. Geneva and ADEA will be included in our evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for periods beginning after January 1, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
On March 1,During the second quarter of 2019, we completed our acquisition of Geneva.ADEA. We are also in the process of integrating GenevaADEA, and our management is in the process of evaluating any related changes to our internal control over financial reporting as a result of this integration. Except for any changes relating to this integration, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)Act) for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 , that materially affected or areis reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.



PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, and like others in the industry, we receive requests for information from government agencies in connection with their regulatory or investigational authority or are involved in traditional employment or business litigation.  We review such requests and notices and take appropriate action.
On April 5, 2019, a complaint filed under seal in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against the Company by private relators under the Federal False Claims Act, and analogous state claimsacts, was unsealed. The U.S. Department of Justice notified the District Court of its decision not to intervene in the case at this time.
The relators’ complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company engaged in the offshoring of certain activities and improper performance of work at certain U.S. locations in violation of applicable law. The relators seek unspecified damages on behalf of the U.S. and various states.
The Company is evaluating the complaint, but, at this point, it believes the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the litigation. The Company also does not believe these claims will have a material impact on its business operations or strategic plans.
The final outcome of any current or future litigation or governmental or internal investigations cannot be accurately predicted, nor can we predict any resulting penalties, fines or other sanctions that may be imposed at the discretion of federal or state regulatory authorities. We record accruals for such contingencies to the extent that we conclude it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be estimated.
