NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts or as otherwise noted)

(unaudited)

1.	Nature of Business

Anika Therapeutics, Inc. ("the Company") is a global joint preservation company that creates and delivers meaningful advancements in early intervention orthopedic care, including in the areas of osteoarthritis ("OA") pain management, regenerative solutions, soft tissue repair and bone preserving joint technologies.

In early 2020, the Company expanded its overall technology platform through its strategic acquisitions of Parcus Medical, LLC ("Parcus Medical"), a sports medicine implant and instrumentation solutions provider focused on sports medicine and soft tissue repair, and Arthrosurface, Inc. ("Arthrosurface"), a company specializing in less invasive, bone preserving partial and total joint replacement solutions. These acquisitions broadened the Company's product portfolio, developed over its 30 years of expertise in hyaluronic acid technology, into the broader joint preservation and restoration market with greater market potential, added high-growth revenue streams, increased the Company's commercial capabilities, diversified its revenue base, and expanded its product pipeline and research and development expertise.

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the life sciences industry including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, commercialization of existing and new products, and compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration and foreign regulations and approval requirements, as well as the ability to grow the Company's business through appropriate commercial strategies.

There continue to be uncertainties regarding the pandemic of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19"), and the Company is closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of its business, including how it will impact its customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and a broader impact on elective surgeries. The Company is unable to predict the specific impact that COVID-19 may have on its financial position and operations moving forward due to the numerous uncertainties. Any estimates made herein may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and actual results could differ materially from any estimates made herein under different assumptions or conditions. The Company will continue to assess the evolving impact of COVID-19.

3.	Business Combinations

Parcus Medical, LLC

On January 24, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Parcus Medical pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 4, 2020 (the "Parcus Medical Merger Agreement"). Parcus Medical is a sports medicine implant and instrumentation solutions provider focused on surgical repair and reconstruction of soft tissue.

Consideration Transferred

Pursuant to the Parcus Medical Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all outstanding equity of Parcus Medical for estimated total purchase consideration of $75.1 million, as of January 24, 2020, which consisted of:

Cash consideration		$	32,794
Deferred consideration			1,642
Estimated fair value of contingent consideration			40,700
Estimated total purchase consideration		$	75,136

Pursuant to the Parcus Medical Merger Agreement, contingent consideration represents additional payments that the Company may be required to make in the future which could total up to $60.0 million depending on the level of net sales of Parcus Medical products generated in 2020 through 2022.

The fair value of contingent consideration related to net sales as of January 24, 2020, and at each reporting date, was determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation model in an option pricing framework, whereby a range of possible scenarios were simulated. The liability for contingent consideration was included in current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be remeasured at each reporting period until the contingency is resolved. As of June 30, 2022, the net sales related contingent consideration amounted to $4.3 million which was included in current liabilities and the Company does not expect any further milestones to be achieved.

Acquisition-related costs were not included as a component of consideration transferred but were expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The Company incurred approximately $1.9 million in transaction costs related to the Parcus Medical acquisition during the three-month period ending March 31, 2020. The transaction costs subsequent to March 31, 2020 were immaterial.

Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired

The estimate of fair value as of the acquisition date required the use of significant assumptions and estimates. Critical estimates included, but were not limited to, future expected cash flows, including projected revenues and expenses, and the applicable discount rates. These estimates were based on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable, however, actual results may differ from these estimates.

8

The allocation of purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on estimates of fair value as of January 24, 2020, and was as follows:

Recognized identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents		$	196
Accounts receivable			2,029
Inventories			10,968
Prepaid expenses and other current assets			364
Property and equipment, net			1,099
Right-of-use assets			944
Intangible assets			44,000
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities			(2,763	)
Other long-term liabilities			(594	)
Lease liabilities			(735	)
Net assets acquired			55,508
Goodwill			19,628
Estimated total purchase consideration		$	75,136

Subsequent to the acquisition date, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company completed the identification and confirmation of Parcus Medical inventory in the possession of its direct and distributor sales force, which resulted in an increase to the fair value of inventory of $1.9 million as of the January 24, 2020 acquisition date. As a result, the Company recorded this addition to inventory with a corresponding reduction to goodwill as a measurement period adjustment which was reflected to the goodwill amount included in the table above.

The acquired intangible assets based on estimates of fair value as of January 24, 2020 were as follows:

Developed technology		$	41,100
Trade name			1,800
Customer relationships			1,100
Total acquired intangible assets		$	44,000

The fair value of developed technology will be amortized over a useful life of 15 years, the fair value of customer relationships over 10 years, and the fair value of the trade name over 5 years.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and assigned to the newly established reporting unit for Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface. The goodwill was impaired in 2020 and there was no remaining goodwill as of December 31, 2020.

Arthrosurface, Inc.

On February 3, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Arthrosurface pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 4, 2020 (the "Arthrosurface Merger Agreement"). Arthrosurface is a joint preservation technology company specializing in less invasive, bone-preserving partial and total joint replacement solutions.

Consideration Transferred

Pursuant to the Arthrosurface Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all outstanding equity of Arthrosurface for estimated total purchase consideration of $90.3 million, as of February 3, 2020 which consisted of:

Cash consideration		$	61,909
Estimated fair value of contingent consideration			28,376
Estimated total purchase consideration		$	90,285

9

Pursuant to the Arthrosurface Merger Agreement, the Company could be required to make future payments of up to $40.0 million depending on the achievement of regulatory milestones and the level of net sales of Arthrosurface products from 2020 through 2021. The fair value of contingent consideration related to regulatory milestones as of February 3, 2020 was determined through a scenario-based discounted cash flow analysis using scenario probabilities and regulatory milestone dates. The fair value of contingent consideration related to net sales achievement as of February 3, 2020 was determined based upon a Monte Carlo simulation approach at acquisition date, whereby a range of possible scenarios were simulated. The Company paid $5.0 million in October 2020 and $10.0 million in July 2021 based upon the achievement of two distinct regulatory milestones. As of June 30, 2022, there were no milestones remaining.

Acquisition-related costs were not included as a component of consideration transferred but were expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The Company incurred approximately $2.2 million in transaction costs related to the Arthrosurface acquisition during the three-month period ending March 31, 2020. The transaction costs subsequent to March 31, 2020 were immaterial.

Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired

The estimate of fair value required the use of significant assumptions and estimates. Critical estimates included, but were not limited to, future expected cash flows, including projected revenues and expenses, and the applicable discount rates. These estimates were based on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable. However, actual results may differ from these estimates.

The allocation of purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on estimates of fair value as of February 3, 2020, as follows:

Recognized identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents		$	1,072
Accounts receivable			5,368
Inventories			15,652
Prepaid expenses and other current assets			535
Property, plant and equipment			3,394
Other long-term assets			7,548
Intangible assets			48,900
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities			(3,929	)
Deferred tax liabilities			(11,147	)
Net assets acquired			67,393
Goodwill			22,892
Estimated total purchase consideration		$	90,285
Intangible assets acquired consist of:
Developed technology		$	37,000
Trade name			3,400
Customer relationships			7,900
IPR&D			600
Total acquired intangible assets		$	48,900

The fair value of developed technology will be amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years, the fair value of customer relationships over 10 years, and the fair value of trade names over 5 years. A total of $0.6 million represents the fair value of IPR&D with an indefinite useful life which was impaired during the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and assigned to the newly established reporting unit for Parcus Medical and Arthrosurface. The Goodwill was impaired in 2020 and there was no remaining goodwill as of December 31, 2020.

4.	Fair Value Measurements

The Company has certain cash equivalents in money market funds that are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets. For cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable, and accrued interest, the carrying amounts approximate fair value, because of the short maturity of these instruments, and therefore fair value information is not included in the table below. Contingent consideration related to the previously described business combinations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the determination of fair value uses considerable judgement and represents the Company's best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a market exchange for the asset or liability. There were no transfers between fair value levels during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. See Note 3,Business Combinations for additional discussion of contingent consideration as of June 30, 2022.

The Company leases its buildings and manufacturing facilities under operating leases. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had real estate leases in Bedford, Massachusetts, Franklin, Massachusetts, Sarasota, Florida, Warsaw, Indiana and Padova, Italy.

In June 2022, the Company finalized renewal options to extend the current term of its leases for its building and manufacturing facility in Bedford as well as its two facilities in Sarasota. With the extension of these renewal options, the Bedford lease term extends to 2027 with several lease renewal options into 2038 and the two leases in Sarasota extend to 2027 but may be extended by mutual agreement. The Sarasota leases also include a right to terminate in 2025 at the Company's option. The current term of the Franklin lease extends to 2023 and the current term of the Padova lease extends to 2032, with a right to terminate at the Company's option without penalty.

10.	Commitments and Contingencies

In certain of its contracts, the Company warrants to its customers that the products it manufactures conform to the product specifications as in effect at the time of delivery of the specific product. The Company may also warrant that the products it manufactures do not infringe, violate, or breach any U.S. or international patent or intellectual property right, trade secret, or other proprietary information of any third party. On occasion, the Company contractually indemnifies its customers against any and all losses arising out of, or in any way connected with, any claim or claims of breach of its warranties or any actual or alleged defect in any product caused by the negligent acts or omissions of the Company. The Company maintains a products liability insurance policy that limits its exposure to these risks. Based on the Company's historical activity, in combination with its liability insurance coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is immaterial. The Company had no accrued warranties as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021 and has no history of claims paid.

The Company is also involved from time-to-time in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Although the outcomes of these legal proceedings are inherently difficult to predict, the Company does not expect the resolution of these occasional legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

On October 21, 2021, the Company received notice that the former unitholders of Parcus Medical had filed a request for arbitration regarding the earnout provisions agreed to in the Parcus Medical Merger Agreement. The Company has engaged in the arbitration process and does not anticipate a resolution during 2022. The Company is unable to estimate the potential liability with respect to this matter at this time. There are numerous factors that make it difficult to estimate reasonably possible loss or range of loss at this stage of the matter, including the significant number of legal and factual issues still to be resolved in the arbitration process. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims and believes it has strong defenses to the claims asserted.

11.	Revenue and Geographic Information

Revenue by product family was as follows:

		Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,
		2022			2021			2022			2021
OA Pain Management		$	25,741			$	24,321			$	48,474			$	43,637

Revenue from the Company's sole significant customer, DePuy Synthes Mitek Sports Medicine ("Mitek"), part of the Johnson & Johnson Medical Companies, as a percentage of the Company's total revenue was 45% and 46% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 42% and 44% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively

The Company receives payments from our customers based on billing schedules established in each contract. Up-front payments are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt or when due and may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until we perform our obligations under these arrangements. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when our right to consideration is unconditional. Deferred revenue was $0.3 million and $1.0 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

12.	Equity Incentive Plan

Equity Incentive Plan

The Anika Therapeutics, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan") was approved by the Company's stockholders on June 13, 2017 and subsequently amended on June 18, 2019, June 16, 2020, June 16, 2021 and June 8, 2022. On June 8, 2022, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the 2017 Plan increasing the number of shares by 250,000 shares from 4.6 million shares to 4.85 million shares. The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock awards, performance restricted stock units ("PSUs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs"), total shareholder return options ("TSRs") and performance options that may be settled in cash, stock, or other property. In accordance with the 2017 Plan approved by the Company's stockholders, including the amendments thereto, each share award other than stock options or SARs will reduce the number of total shares available for grant by two shares. Subject to adjustment for specified types of changes in the Company's capitalization, no more than 4.85 million shares of common stock may be issued under the 2017 Plan. There were 1.2 million shares available for future grant at June 30, 2022 under the 2017 Plan.

The Anika Therapeutics, Inc. 2021 Inducement Plan (the "Inducement Plan") was adopted by the Company's board of directors on November 4, 2021. The Inducement Plan reserves 125,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to equity-based awards granted under the Inducement Plan. Such awards may be granted only to an individual who was not previously the Company's employee or director with the Company. The Inducement Plan provides for the grant of awards under terms substantially similar to the 2017 Plan (as amended). There were 4,883 shares available for future grant at June 30, 2022 under the Inducement Plan.

The Company may satisfy the awards upon exercise, or upon fulfillment of the vesting requirements for other equity-based awards, with either newly issued shares or shares reacquired by the Company. Stock-based awards are granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. Awards contain service conditions or service and performance conditions, and they generally become exercisable ratably over threeyears with a maximum contractual term of tenyears.

15

The Company presents the expenses related to stock-based compensation awards in the same expense line items as cash compensation paid to each of its employees as follows (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,
		2022			2021			2022			2021
Cost of product revenue		$	227			$	214			$	403			$	343
Research & development			503				402				870				643
Selling, general & administrative			3,351				2,181				5,323				4,070
Total stock-based compensation expense		$	4,081			$	2,797			$	6,626			$	5,056

Stock Options

Stock options are granted to purchase common shares at prices that are equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date the options are granted or, in the case of premium options, are granted with an exercise price at 110% of the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Options generally vest in equal annual installments over a period of threeyears and expire 10 years after the date of grant. The grant-date fair value of options is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

The following summarizes the activity under the Company's stock option plans:

		Number of Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price			Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)			Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding as of December 31, 2021			1,175,993			$	39.56
Granted			464,775			$	23.21
Exercised			(437	)		$	9.10							$	10
Forfeited and canceled			(130,925	)		$	44.25
Outstanding as of June 30, 2022			1,509,406			$	35.53				8.5			$	21
Vested, June 30, 2022			459,732			$	40.07				7.5			$	7
Vested or expected to vest, June 30, 2022			1,509,406			$	35.53				8.5			$	21

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 was immaterial.

The Company granted 464,775 stock options during the six-month ended June 30, 2022, of which 382,201 shares were premium-priced options.

As of June 30, 2022, there was $10.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted. The calculation of the fair value of stock options is affected by the stock price on the grant date, the expected volatility of the Company's common stock over the expected term of the award, the expected life of the award, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield. The Company estimates the fair value of TSRs using Monte-Carlo simulation model where the expected volatility assumption is evaluated over 6.3 years. The actual number of TSR options that may be earned ranges from 0% to 150% of the target number, depending on the total shareholder return of the Company relative to the peer group over the vesting period of 2.7 years. There were 104,638 TSRs as of June 30, 2022.

16

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, along with the weighted-average grant-date fair values, were as follows:

		Six Months Ended June 30,
		2022			2021
Risk free interest rate			1.3%	-	3.0%				0.3%	-	0.6%
Expected volatility			53.8%	-	55.2%				54.8%	-	55.9%
Expected life (years)				4.5						4.0
Expected dividend yield				0.0%						0.0%
Fair value per option				11.28						14.19

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs generally vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period. The grant-date fair value of RSUs is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Company determines the fair value of RSUs based on the closing price of its common stock on the date of grant.

RSU activity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 was as follows:

		Number of Shares			Weighted Average Fair Value
Outstanding as of December 31, 2021			412,658			$	36.33
Granted			498,189			$	25.18
Vested			(149,365	)		$	36.26
Forfeited and cancelled			(41,095	)		$	33.75
Outstanding as of June 30, 2022			720,387			$	28.78

The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of RSUs granted was $34.99 for the six-month ended June 30, 2021. The total fair value of RSUs vested was $5.4 million and $3.5 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022, there was $17.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to time-based RSUs, which was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

Performance Stock Units

PSU activity for the six-month ended June 30, 2022 was as follows:

		Number of Shares			Weighted Average Fair Value
Outstanding as of December 31, 2021			158,297			$	37.44
Performance factor adjustment			2,125			$	32.53
Vested			(19,125	)		$	32.53
Forfeited and cancelled			(23,400	)		$	41.86
Outstanding as of June 30, 2022			117,897			$	34.98

The total fair value of PSUs vested was $0.6 million and $0 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, none of the milestones related to the outstanding PSUs were expected to be achieved.

17

13.	Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.4 million and $1.2 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, resulting in effective tax rates of 13.5% and 17.4%, respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.6 million and $1.0 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, based on effective tax rates of 28.5% and 9.4%, respectively.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to $0.7 million recorded as tax expense for the change in the fair value of contingent consideration, recognized as a discrete charge in the second quarter of 2021 and a discrete charge of $0.6 million during second quarter of 2022 related to non-deductible stock compensation. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to the year-to-date net tax benefit in 2021 on the change in the fair value of contingent consideration, in the amount of $1.1 million resulting in a net decrease in the effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States on a federal basis, in certain U.S. states, and in certain foreign jurisdictions. The associated tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate, which varies by jurisdiction.

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements, the Company assessed whether it is more likely than notthat it will be able to utilize, in future periods, the Company's deferred income tax assets to offset future taxable income and tax liabilities. The Company concluded that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will be realized, after evaluation and consideration of both the positive and negative evidence. On December 31, 2021, the Company released a valuation allowance that had been previously recorded related to its net deferred tax assets in Italy in the amount of $0.9 million. The Company did not record a valuation allowance on its deferred tax balances as of June 30, 2022.

14.	Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Unvested restricted shares, although legally issued and outstanding, are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating basic EPS. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding share-based awards using the treasury stock method

The following table provides share information used in the calculation of the Company's basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):

		Three Month Period Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,
		2022			2021			2022			2021
Shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share			14,555				14,393				14,511				14,368
Effect of dilutive securities:
Share-based payment awards			-				234				-				215
Diluted shares used in the calculation of earnings per share			14,555				14,627				14,511				14,583

The Company had a net loss during the three and six-months ended June 30, 2022, and therefore all potential common shares would have been anti-dilutive and accordingly were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. Stock options of 1.1 million shares were outstanding for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the awards' impact on EPS would have been anti-dilutive.

Management Overview

We are a global joint preservation company that creates and delivers meaningful advancements in early intervention orthopedic care. Based on our collaborations with clinicians to understand what they need most to treat their patients, we develop minimally invasive products that restore active living for people around the world. We are committed to leading in high opportunity spaces within orthopedics, including osteoarthritis, or OA, pain management, regenerative solutions, sports medicine soft tissue repair and bone preserving joint technologies.

We have thirty years of global expertise developing, manufacturing and commercializing products based on and/or enhanced with our hyaluronic acid, or HA, technology platform. HA is a naturally occurring polymer found throughout the body that is vital for proper joint health and tissue function. Our proprietary technologies for modifying the HA molecule allow product properties to be tailored specifically to multiple uses, including enabling longer residence time to support OA pain management and creating a solid form of HA called Hyaff, which is a platform utilized in our regenerative solutions portfolio.

In early 2020, we expanded our overall technology platform, product portfolio, and significantly enhanced and accelerated our commercial infrastructure, especially in the United States, through our strategic acquisitions of Parcus Medical, a sports medicine and instrumentation solutions provider focused on soft tissue repair, and Arthrosurface, a company specializing in bone preserving partial and total joint replacement solutions. Through these acquisitions, we have transformed our company. We expanded our addressable market from the over $1 billion global OA pain management market to the over $8 billion global joint preservation market (which includes the faster growing sports medicine soft tissue repair and extremities segments), advanced our commercial capabilities, instituted systems and processes to support our transformation, and expanded our product pipeline and research and development expertise in our target markets.

As we look towards the future, our business is positioned to capture value within our target market of joint preservation. We believe our success will be driven by our:

●

Decades of experience in HA-based regenerative solutions and early intervention orthopedics combined under new seasoned leadership with a strong financial foundation for future investment in meaningful solutions for our customers and their patients;

19

●

Robust network of stakeholders in our target markets to identify evolving unmet patient treatment needs;

	●	Prioritized investment in differentiated pipeline of regenerative solutions, bone preserving implants and sports medicine soft tissue repair products;
	●	Leveraging our global commercial expertise and building out our capabilities to drive growth across the portfolio, with an intentional and increased focus on the ambulatory surgery centers site of care in the United States;

●

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the spread of the COVID-19 virus a pandemic. This pandemic has caused an economic downturn on a global scale, as well as significant volatility in the financial markets. There has been significant volatility in our results on a quarterly basis due to the worldwide cancellation or delay of elective procedures, staffing shortages and supply chain disruptions, as well as the impact on timelines associated with certain clinical studies. Resurgence of COVID-19 as a result of emerging variants or other factors could result in additional staffing shortages or supply chain disruptions that could impact our business and operations. We have had some disruption in our ability to supply products to our customers due to supply chain disruptions and staffing shortages which has caused back orders or delays in certain shipments to our customers. The companies that produce our products, product components or otherwise support our manufacturing processes, the distribution centers where we manage our inventory, or the operations of our logistics and other service providers, including third parties that sterilize and store our products, are or could be disrupted, temporarily close or experience worker shortages for a sustained period of time. To date, we believe we have taken adequate precaution to mitigate the impact of the current disruption of key materials, components and parts to the extent possible and reasonable. We expect, however, the current supply chain disruption with certain key suppliers to continue, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. For additional information on the impact of supply chain disruption related to the COVID-19 pandemic on our manufacturing operations, please refer to the section captioned "Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our commercial day-to-day operations have been impacted due to the worldwide cancellations and/or delays of elective procedures and restrictions on travel for both our employees and our clinician customers, and timelines associated with certain clinical studies and research and development programs have been delayed. While the impact has been limited to these items to date, we caution that there continues to be a possibility for potential future implementation of certain additional restrictions or other challenges associated with infections, staffing shortages, volatility in elective surgical procedures or supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19 and its current or new variants in certain jurisdictions. In particular, supply constraints that have continued into 2022 that we have partially been able to mitigate to date could be expected to impact our ability to produce and supply our products. The impact of these challenges is currently unknown, but could be significant.

Revenue

Revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 was $39.7 million, an increase of $1.6 million as compared to $38.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. Revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 was $76.4 million, an increase of $4.0 million as compared to $72.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, the increases in revenue were mainly due an increase in OA Pain Management revenues, primarily related to the continued recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global sales volumes as well as favorable timing of ordering patterns from international distributors and strategic partners.

The following tables present product revenue by product family:

		Three Months Ended June 30,
		2022			2021			$ Inc/(Dec)			% Inc/(Dec)
OA Pain Management		$	25,741			$	24,321			$	1,420				6	%

		$	76,350			$	72,437			$	3,913				5	%

22

Revenue from our OA Pain Management product family increased 6% and 11%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, due primarily to continued recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global sales volumes as well as favorable timing of ordering patterns from international distributors and strategic partners which can vary significantly on a quarterly basis.

Revenue from our Joint Preservation and Restoration product family increased 2% and 1%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, due primarily to recovery in elective procedures from the COVID-19 pandemic, which however remained limited due in part to constraints on staffing.

Revenue from our Non-Orthopedic product family decreased 6% and 22%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily due to timing of distributor sales as well as due to higher revenues in 2021 from certain legacy products related to end-of-life purchases.

Gross Profit and Margin

Gross profit for the three -and six -month periods ended June 30, 2022 increased $4.1 million and $4.9 million, to $24.9 million and $46.7 million, respectively. Gross profit for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, was $20.8 million and $41.8 million, respectively. The increases in gross profit for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021 were primarily due to increased revenue as well as the impact of inventory step-up charges associated with the acquisitions of Arthrosurface and Parcus Medical in 2021 and product rationalization charges taken in the second quarter of 2021.

Gross margin for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 was 63% and 61%, respectively. Gross margin for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 was 55% and 58%, respectively. The increases to gross margin for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 was due primarily to the unfavorable impact of inventory step-up charges associated with the Arthrosurface and Parcus Medical in 2021 and product rationalization charges taken in the second quarter of 2021.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 were $7.0 million and $13.1 million, a decrease of $0.3 million and $0.6 million respectively as compared to the same period in 2021. The decreases for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to lower clinical trial spending, primarily on Cingal pilot study which is expected to be complete in 2022.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 were $21.3 million and $40.5 million representing an increase of $3.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase in SG&A expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to expansion of our commercial capabilities in the United States and expanded marketing activities and other operational capabilities to support the growing business needs. Certain marketing and medical education activities also were more limited in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in SG&A expense was also due to higher stock-based compensation expense in 2022 driven by additional headcount associated with the Company's strategic transformation that accelerated in 2020 and 2021.

Contingent Consideration Fair Value Change

The fair value of contingent consideration as of June 30, 2022 did not change compared to December 31, 2021. During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, the change in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities was $13.7 million and $18.5 million, respectively, resulting in a non-cash benefit to net income.

Income Taxes

The benefit from income taxes was $0.4 million and $1.2 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, resulting in effective tax rates of 13.5% and 17.4%, respectively. The provision for income taxes was $2.6 million and $1.0 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, based on effective tax rates of 28.5% and 9.4%, respectively.

23

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to $0.7 million recorded as tax expense for the change in the fair value of contingent consideration, recognized as a discrete charge in the second quarter of 2021 and a discrete charge of $0.6 million during second quarter of 2022 related to non-deductible stock compensation. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to the year to date net tax benefits in 2021 on the change in the fair value of contingent consideration, in the amount of $1.1 million resulting in a net decrease in the effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

Net (Loss) Income

For the three and six-month period ended June, 2022, net loss was $2.8 million and $5.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share and $0.44 per diluted share, respectively, compared to net income of $6.5 million and $9.4 million, or $0.45 per diluted share and $0.64 per diluted share, for the same periods in prior year. The decrease in net income and diluted earnings per share was primarily due to gains recorded in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration, as well as increased spending to expand our commercial capability in the United States, partially offset by increased revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present certain information with respect to adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin, adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization, or EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share or adjusted EPS, which are financial measures not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

We have presented adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and to develop operational goals for managing our business. We believe these financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of these items in calculating these measures can provide a useful tool for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that these measures provide 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 key financial metrics used by our management in their financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin

We define adjusted gross profit as our gross profit excluding amortization of certain acquired intangible assets, the impact of inventory fair-value step up associated with our recent acquisitions and certain product rationalization charges. The amortized assets contribute to revenue generation, and the amortization of such assets will likely continue in future periods until such assets are fully amortized. These assets include the fair value of certain identified assets acquired in acquisitions, including developed technology and acquired tradenames. We define adjusted gross margin as adjusted gross profit divided by total revenue.

The following is a reconciliation of adjusted gross profit to gross profit for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively:

		For the Three Months Ended June 30,			For the Six Months Ended June 30,
		2022			2021			2022			2021
Gross Profit		$	24,862			$	20,812			$	46,666			$	41,786
Product rationalization related charges			-				2,063				-				2,063
Acquisition related intangible asset amortization			1,562				1,562				3,124				3,124
Acquisition related inventory step up			-				2,208				-				4,786
Adjusted Gross Profit		$	26,424			$	26,645			$	49,790			$	51,759
Adjusted Gross Margin			67	%			70	%			65	%			71	%

24

Adjusted gross profit for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 decreased $0.2 million and $2.0 million to $26.4 million and $49.8 million, respectively, representing 67% and 65% of revenue. Adjusted gross profit for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 was $26.6 million and $51.8 million, respectively, or 70% and 71% of revenue for the periods, respectively. The decrease in adjusted gross profit for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to unfavorable revenue mix and production inefficiencies caused in part by supply chain and staffing challenges.

Adjusted EBITDA

We present information below with respect to adjusted EBITDA, which we define as our net income (loss) excluding interest and other income, net, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, product rationalization, and acquisition related expenses. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have also excluded the impacts of goodwill impairment charges and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration associated with our acquisition transactions in early 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with US GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), which is the nearest US GAAP equivalent. Some of these limitations are:

●

adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated or amortized may have to be replaced in the future, the cash requirements for which are not reflected in adjusted EBITDA;

●

we exclude stock-based compensation expense from adjusted EBITDA although (a) it has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our employee compensation strategy and (b) if we did not pay out a portion of our compensation in the form of stock-based compensation, the cash salary expense included in operating expenses likely would be higher, which would affect our cash position;

●

we exclude acquisition related expenses, including transaction costs and other related expenses, amortization and depreciation of acquired assets in recent acquisitions, and the impact of inventory fair-value step up on cost of revenue;

●

we exclude certain impairment charges, including certain product rationalization charges as a result of managing our financial position in light of our recent acquisitions, the impact of COVID-19 and changing regulatory requirements;

●

we exclude goodwill impairment charges and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration;

●

the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from adjusted EBITDA when they report their operating results;

●

adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;

●

adjusted EBITDA does not reflect (benefit from) provision for income taxes or the cash requirements to pay taxes; and

●

adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments.

Adjusted EBITDA		$	4,420			$	6,101			$	7,018			$	10,884

Adjusted EBITDA for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, decreased $1.7 million as compared with the same period in 2021. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA for the period was primarily due to increased commercial spending to support future growth as certain marketing and medical education activities were more limited in 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, decreased $3.9 million as compared with the same period in 2021. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA for the period was primarily due to lower adjusted gross profit, from unfavorable revenue mix and production inefficiencies caused in part by supply chain and staffing challenges, as well as an increase in operating expenses primarily attributable to expansion of our commercial capability in the United States.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS

We present information below with respect to adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted EPS. We define adjusted net income (loss) as our net income (loss) excluding acquisition-related expenses, amortization and depreciation of acquired assets, the impact of inventory fair-value step up on cost of revenue and the impacts of goodwill impairment charges and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, as well as certain impairment charges, including product rationalization charges, on a tax effected basis. Acquisition related expenses are those that we would not have incurred except as a direct result of acquisition transactions. Acquisition related expenses consist of investment banking, legal, accounting, and other professional and related expenses. The amortized assets contribute to revenue generation, and the amortization of such assets will recur in future periods until such assets are fully amortized. These assets include the estimated fair value of certain identified assets acquired in acquisitions, including in-process research and development, developed technology, customer relationships and acquired tradenames. We define adjusted EPS as US GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share excluding the above adjustments to net income used in calculating adjusted net income, each on a per share and tax effected basis.

Adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted diluted (loss) income per share in the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $3.0 million or $0.21, respectively, as compared with the same period in 2021. The decrease for the period was primarily due to increased commercial spending to support future growth as certain marketing and medical education activities were more limited in 2021.

Adjusted net (loss) income in and adjusted diluted (loss) income per share the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, decreased $5.3 million or $0.36, as compared with the same period in 2021. The decrease in adjusted net income for the period was primarily due to lower adjusted gross profit, from unfavorable revenue mix and production inefficiencies caused in part by supply chain and staffing challenges due largely to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as an increase in selling and marketing expenses primarily attributable to increased cost to support our commercial capability in the United States and an increase in stock-based compensation expense driven by incremental headcount associated with the Company's strategic transformation that accelerated in 2020 and 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We require cash to fund our operating activities and to make capital expenditures and other investments in the business. We expect that our requirements for cash to fund these uses will increase as our operations expand. We continue to generate cash from operating activities and believe that our operating cash flows, cash currently on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and availability under our credit facility will be sufficient to allow us to continue to invest in our existing business, to manage our capital structure on a short and long-term basis, and to meet our anticipated operating cash needs. Cash, cash equivalents, and investments aggregated $91.4 million and $94.4 million, and working capital totaled $138.4 million and $138.7 million, at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We are closely monitoring our liquidity and capital resources for any potential impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our operations.

On November 12, 2021, we entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement with Bank of America N.A. as administrative agent, amended and restated our existing revolving line of credit agreement dated October 24, 2017 which provides up to $75.0 million in the form of a senior revolving line of credit. Subject to certain conditions, we may request up to an additional $75.0 million for a maximum aggregate commitment of $150.0 million. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings, and we are in compliance with the terms of the credit facility.

The following changes contributed to the net change in cash and cash equivalents in the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $1.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1.9 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease in cash provided operating activities in 2022 was primarily due to net loss incurred in 2022 and offset by an improvement in working capital attributable to timing of collections and inventory purchases and lower income tax payments.

For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to invest substantial resources in research and development for new products and clinical studies as well as continued investment in our commercial infrastructure to support our growth strategy. These costs will be funded with a combination of cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from future operations.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $3.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $0.6 million for the same period in 2021. The change was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures to support commercial growth of the business in the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 and proceeds from maturities of investments that occurred in 2021.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $0.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $0.1 million for the same period in 2021. The change was primarily attributable to an increase in the utilization of cash for employee tax withholding in exchange for shares surrendered by equity award holders and lower stock option exercises in 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe that our accounting policies for revenue recognition, accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses, goodwill, acquired in-process research and development, inventory and contingencies are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. There have been no significant changes to the above critical accounting policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in such policies from those disclosed in our annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2021 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 We monitor our estimates on an ongoing basis for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates, if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A discussion of Recent Accounting Pronouncements is included in our 2021 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments

Our contractual obligations and other commercial commitments are summarized in the section captioned "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources-Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments" in our 2021 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no material changes to our contractual obligations reported in our 2021 Form 10-K during the six months ended June 30, 2022 other than changes in operating leases reported in Note 8. For additional discussion, see Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

To the extent that funds generated from our operations, together with our existing capital resources, are insufficient to meet future requirements, we will be required to obtain additional funds through equity or debt financings, strategic alliances with corporate partners and others, or through other sources. No assurance can be given that any additional financing will be made available to us or will be available on acceptable terms should such a need arise.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not use special purpose entities or other off-balance sheet financing techniques that we believe have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our market risks and the ways we manage them are summarized in the section captioned "Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes in the first six months of 2022 to our market risks or to our management of such risks.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. On an on-going basis, we review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

(b)

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.

There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II:

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved from time-to-time in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Although the outcomes of these legal proceedings are inherently difficult to predict, we do not expect the resolution of these occasional legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow. There have been no material changes to the information provided in the section captioned "Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in the section captioned "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as amended and supplemented by the information in "Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the section captioned "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in "Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and such subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

Inflation could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Inflationhas the potential to adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations by increasing our overall costs and increasing the risk that patients will curtail normal levels of elective orthopedic procedures due to pressure on the overall global economy. The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher shipping costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor and other similar effects. As a result of inflation, we have experienced and may continue to experience, cost increases. Although we may take measures to mitigate the impact of inflation, if these measures are not effective our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We rely on a small number of suppliers for certain key raw materials and a small number of suppliers for a number of other materials required for the manufacturing and delivery of our products, and disruption could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Although we believe that alternative sources for many of these and other components and raw materials that we use in our manufacturing processes are available, we cannot be certain that the supply of key raw and other materials will continue to be available at current levels or will be sufficient to meet our future needs. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted, and is expected to continue to impact, our supply chain as the companies that produce our products, product components or otherwise support our manufacturing processes, the distribution centers where we manage our inventory, or the operations of our logistics and other service providers, including third parties that sterilize and store our products, are, or may be, disrupted, temporarily closed or experience worker shortages for a sustained period of time. For example, for the manufacture of bone preserving joint technologies, we engage a single third-party organization as a contract manufacturer. Any supply interruption could harm our ability to manufacture our products until a new source of supply is identified and qualified. We may not be able to find sufficient alternative suppliers in a reasonable time-period, or on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, and our ability to produce and supply our products and our ability to generate revenue could be impaired.

Our global supply chain has been and is expected to continue to be materially adversely impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and faces new and ongoing challenges related to supply constraints.

We rely upon the facilities of our global suppliers to support our business. As a result of COVID-19 and the measures designed to contain its spread, certain of our suppliers have not had the materials, capacity, or capability to supply our needed materials and other supplies that we require to manufacture our products according to our schedule and specifications. It is uncertain to what extent these supply chain challenges will continue as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. In the past several months, variants of COVID-19 surged across the globe, causing further delays in the supply chain. Despite our attempts to mitigate the impact on our business, constrained supply conditions are expected to adversely impact the amount of revenue we realize. During the first half of 2022, we experienced disruptions in our supply chain and manufacturing capability that impacted our revenue for the period. If we are not able to mitigate the impact of these supply shortages, our ability to generate revenue will be significantly impacted. Further, logistics issues, including our ability and our supply chain's ability to quickly ramp up production, and transportation demands may cause delays. If our suppliers' operations are curtailed, or if our suppliers are not able to deliver materials and supplies to us as scheduled, we may need to seek alternate sources of supply, which may be more expensive or require approval from regulatory agencies which could cause further delays. Alternative sources may not be available or may result in delays in shipments to us from our supply chain and subsequently to our customers, each of which would affect our results of operations. Even if alternative sources are identified, we may not be able to quickly establish additional or replacement sources for certain components or materials due, in part, to the FDA's manufacturing requirements. If the duration of the production and supply chain disruptions continue for an extended period of time, the impact on our supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On May 2, 2019, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a $50.0 million share repurchase program with $30.0 million to be utilized for an accelerated share repurchase program, which was completed in January 2020, and $20.0 million reserved for open market repurchases which represents the maximum value of shares that may yet be purchased. No open market repurchases were made during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.
