Overview



We are a global medical device company focused on providing innovative products
that improve the quality of life of patients suffering from chronic pain. We
have developed and commercialized the Senza spinal cord stimulation (SCS)
system, an evidence-based neuromodulation platform for the treatment of chronic
pain, and in 2019 launched our newest product platform, Senza® Omnia™. Our
proprietary, paresthesia-free HF10® therapy, delivered by our Senza system, was
demonstrated in our SENZA-RCT study to be superior to traditional SCS therapy.
HF10 therapy was nearly twice as successful in treating back pain and 1.5 times
as successful in treating leg pain when compared to traditional SCS
therapy. Comparatively, traditional SCS therapy has not demonstrated the same
level of efficacy in treating back pain and is used primarily for treating leg
pain, limiting its market adoption. Our SENZA-RCT study, along with our European
studies, represents what we believe is the most robust body of clinical evidence
for any SCS therapy. We currently have multiple clinical trials in progress,
including two large randomized control trials seeking additional data to support
new indications. We believe the superiority of HF10 therapy over traditional SCS
therapies has allowed us to capitalize on and expand the approximately $2.5
billion, pre-COVID-19 pandemic, global SCS market by treating both back and leg
pain without paresthesia.

We launched Senza commercially in the United States in May 2015, after receiving
a label from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) supporting the
superiority of our HF10 therapy over traditional SCS. The Senza system has been
commercially available in certain European markets since November 2010 and in
Australia since August 2011. We have experienced significant revenue growth in
the United States since commercial launch. Senza is currently reimbursed by all
of the major insurance providers. In early 2017, we commenced a controlled
commercial launch of our family of surgical leads, marketed as the Surpass
surgical lead, and in April 2020 received FDA approval for our reduced-size
Surpass-C surgical lead. In January 2018, we received FDA approval of our next
generation Senza II SCS system. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we received FDA
approval of our next generation product platform, Senza Omnia, which we launched
in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2019. Additionally, we received
approval to commercially launch Senza Omnia in Europe during the second quarter
of 2020 and in Australia in July 2020. In the first quarter of 2021, we received
FDA approval for our first Senza Omnia upgrade and our next generation trial
stimulator. The tables below set forth our revenue from U.S. and international
sales the past nine quarters on a quarterly basis and total revenue for each of
the past five full years.

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through equity
and debt financings and borrowings under a debt facility. Our accumulated
deficit as of March 31, 2021 was $522.4 million. A significant amount of our
capital resources has been used to support the development of our Senza products
and HF10 therapy, and we have also made a significant investment building our
U.S. commercial infrastructure and sales force to support our commercialization
efforts in the United States. We intend to continue to make significant
investments in our U.S. commercial infrastructure, as well as in research and
development (R&D) to develop Senza to treat other chronic pain indications,
including conducting clinical trials to support our future regulatory
submissions. In order to further enhance our R&D efforts, pursue product
expansion opportunities or acquire a new business or products that are
complementary to our business, we may choose to raise additional funds, which
may include future equity and debt financings.

In April 2020, we issued $165.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75%
convertible senior notes due 2025 (the 2025 Notes) in a registered underwritten
public offering and an additional $24.8 million aggregate principal amount of
such notes pursuant to the underwriters' exercise in full of their option to
purchase additional 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes' interest rates are fixed at
2.75% per annum, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and
October 1 of each year, which commenced on October 1, 2020. The total net
proceeds from the 2025 Notes, after deducting initial purchase discounts and
debt issuance costs, were approximately $183.6 million. In connection with the
offering of the 2025 Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions
in which we have the option to purchase initially (subject to adjustment for
certain specified events) a total of approximately 1.8 million shares of common
stock at a price of approximately $105.00 per share. The total cost of the
convertible note hedge transactions was $52.4 million. In addition, we sold
warrants to certain bank counterparties whereby the holders of the warrants have
the option to purchase initially (subject to adjustment for certain specified
events) a total of approximately 1.8 million shares of our

                                       20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
common stock at a price of $147.00 per share. We received $34.9 million in cash
proceeds from the sale of these warrants. The net cost incurred in connection
with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions was $17.5 million.
Concurrent with the registered underwritten public offering of the 2025 Notes,
we completed an underwritten public offering of common stock and issued
1,868,750 shares of common stock, including 243,750 shares issued pursuant to
the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares.
As a result of this public offering of common stock, we received cash proceeds
of $147.1 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering
costs.

We rely on third-party suppliers for all of the components of our Senza
products, and currently for the assembly of these systems. Several of these
suppliers are currently single-source suppliers. We have entered into and/or
amended several supply agreements in an effort to reinforce our supply chain. We
are also required to maintain high levels of inventory, and, as a result, we are
subject to the risk of inventory obsolescence and expiration, which may lead to
inventory impairment charges. Additionally, as compared to direct manufacturers,
our dependence on third-party manufacturers makes us vulnerable to supply
shortage problems and exposes us to greater lead times, increasing our risk of
inventory obsolescence. In the third quarter of 2020, we made the strategic
decision to vertically integrate the assembly of IPG's, peripherals and various
other manufacturing related activities to mitigate our reliance on third-party
manufacturers and improve our long-term gross margins. We plan on conducting
these manufacturing activities in a facility in Costa Rica, for which our lease
will begin in April 2021. The integration process is expected to be completed in
2022. Even after this integration process is completed, we expect that we will
continue to rely on third-party manufacturers to provide key components to
support the assembly process. We may incur significant capital expenditures and
implementation costs to initiate the manufacturing operations in Costa Rica.

COVID-19 Pandemic



We are subject to risks related to the public health crises such as the global
pandemic associated with COVID-19. In December 2019, a novel strain of
coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since
then, SARS-CoV-2, and the resulting disease COVID-19, has spread to most
countries, and all 50 states within the United States. The COVID-19 outbreak has
negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact our operations and
revenues and overall financial condition by decreasing the number of Senza
systems procedures performed. The number of Senza systems procedures performed,
similar to other elective surgical procedures, has decreased as health care
organizations globally have prioritized the treatment of patients with COVID-19
and as governments imposed restrictions on the performance of elective
procedures. Additionally, overall patient willingness to pursue elective
procedures has decreased due to the pandemic. These measures and challenges,
however, will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic, which is
uncertain, and will reduce our revenue while the pandemic continues.

In addition, even as the severity of the pandemic subsides, we expect that
demand for Senza system procedures may not return to historic levels as rapidly
as originally anticipated as prospective patients may decide to delay the
procedure until fully vaccinated for COVID-19. As a result of the timing
associated with the full rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, it has, and could
continue to, result in a meaningful delay in patients seeking to have a Senza
system trial in the near term. Further, we anticipate that the substantial
backlog of patients seeking appointments with physicians and surgeries to be
performed at hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers relating to a variety of
other medical conditions, will result in patients seeking to have Senza system
trials or implant procedures performed having to navigate limited provider
capacity. We believe these factors may have an adverse effect on the recovery of
the global SCS therapy market and, as a result, the amount of time we predict
for our sales to recover following the end of the pandemic.

Numerous state and local jurisdictions, as well as foreign governments such as
the United Kingdom and Germany, imposed, and others in the future may impose,
"shelter-in-place" orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government
orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19.
Multiple times in 2020, the governor of California, where our headquarters are
located, issued a temporary "shelter-in-place" or "stay at home" orders
restricting non-essential activities, travel and business operations for an
indefinite period of time, subject to certain exceptions for necessary
activities. Such orders or restrictions have resulted in our headquarters
temporarily closing, work stoppages, slowdowns and delays, travel restrictions
and cancellation of events, among other effects, thereby negatively impacting
our operations. Other disruptions or potential disruptions include restrictions
on our personnel and personnel of partners to travel and access customers for
training and case support; delays in approvals by regulatory bodies; delays in
product development efforts; and additional government requirements or other
incremental mitigation efforts that may further impact our capacity to
manufacture, sell and support the use of our Senza systems.

While the potential economic impact brought by and the duration of COVID-19 may
be difficult to assess or predict, the widespread pandemic has resulted in, and
may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets,
reducing our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively
affect our liquidity, including our ability to repay our senior convertible
notes which are due in June 2021 and April 2025. The COVID-19 pandemic has also
resulted in a significant increase in unemployment in the United States which
may continue even after the pandemic. The occurrence of any such events may lead
to reduced disposable income and access to health insurance which could
adversely affect the number of Senza systems sold after the pandemic has ended.
We expect any further shelter-in-place policies and restrictions on elective
surgical procedures worldwide to

                                       21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
have a substantial near term impact on our revenue. In addition, a recession or
market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect
our business and the value of our common stock.

Important Factors Affecting our Results of Operations

In addition to the impact of COVID-19, we believe that the following factors have impacted, and we expect will continue to impact, our results of operations.

Importance of Physician Awareness and Acceptance of Our Products



We continue to invest in programs to educate physicians who treat chronic pain
about the advantages of Senza. This requires significant commitment by our
marketing team and sales organization, and can vary depending upon the
physician's practice specialization, personal preferences and geographic
location. Further, we are competing with well-established companies in our
industry that have strong existing relationships with many of these physicians.
Educating physicians about the advantages of our Senza products, including our
latest product, Senza Omnia, and influencing these physicians to use these
products to treat chronic pain, is required to grow our revenue.

Reimbursement and Coverage Decisions by Third-Party Payors



Healthcare providers in the United States generally rely on third-party payors,
principally federal Medicare, state Medicaid and private health insurance plans,
to cover and reimburse all or part of the cost of our products and the related
implant procedure for patients. The revenue we are able to generate from sales
of our products depends in large part on the availability of reimbursement from
such payors. While we currently have a favorable National Coverage Determination
(NCD) and reimbursement by Medicare, decisions of coverage and reimbursement for
Senza and the related implant procedure from private health insurance providers
can vary. In general, these decisions require that such payors perform analyses
to determine if the procedure is medically necessary and if our technology is
covered under their existing coverage policies. These payors may deny
reimbursement if they determine that the device or procedure was not medically
necessary for the patient and used in accordance with the payor's coverage
policy. A significant component of our commercial efforts includes working with
private payors to ensure positive coverage decisions for our products. We
believe that favorable coverage and reimbursement for procedures using our
products from Medicare and certain commercial payors, such as Aetna, Cigna,
Humana, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Kaiser, have contributed to our increase in
revenue to date. Although the largest commercial payors and Medicare cover
procedures using Senza, there can be no assurance that all private health
insurance plans will cover the therapy. Effective July 1, 2021, Medicare will
require Prior Authorization for all SCS procedures. A significant number of
negative coverage and reimbursement decisions by private insurers may impair our
ability or delay our ability to grow our revenue.

Inventory Buildup and Supply Chain Management



Our products are composed of a substantial number of individual components and,
in order to market and sell them effectively, we must maintain high levels of
inventory. In particular, since our commercial launch of Senza in the United
States, we have continued to add suppliers to fortify our supply chain and we
have maintained increased levels of inventory. As a result, a significant amount
of our cash used in operations has been associated with maintaining these levels
of inventory. There may also be times in which we determine that our inventory
does not meet our product requirements. Further, the manufacturing process for
our products requires lengthy lead times, during which components may become
obsolete. We may also over- or underestimate the quantities of required
components, in which case we may expend extra resources or be constrained in the
amount of end product that we can produce. These factors subject us to the risk
of inventory obsolescence and expiration, which may lead to inventory impairment
charges. The sum of the charges for the items listed above were $0.5 million and
$2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended
December 31, 2020, respectively. Additionally, as we release later generations
of products that contain advancements or additional features, the earlier
generations may become obsolete, as was the case in the three months ended March
31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, when we recorded a charge of $1.0
million and $2.6 million, respectively.

Investment in Research and Clinical Trials



We intend to continue investing in R&D to expand into new indications and
chronic pain conditions, as well as develop product enhancements to improve
outcomes and enhance the physician and patient experience. For example, we
commenced commercial launches of Surpass, our surgical lead product family in
early 2017 and Senza II SCS System in late 2017. Most recently, we launched our
next generation product platform, Senza Omnia, in the United States in late
2019, in Europe during the second quarter of 2020 and in Australia in July
2020. We are continuing to invest in product improvements to Senza, including
enhanced MRI capabilities and next generation IPGs. While R&D and clinical
testing are time consuming and costly, we believe expanding into new
indications, implementing product improvements and continuing to demonstrate the
efficacy, safety and cost effectiveness of HF10 therapy through clinical data
are all critical to increasing the adoption of HF10 therapy. We initiated two
randomized controlled trials

                                       22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in 2018, SENZA-PDN and SENZA-NSRBP, which evaluate HF10 therapy for the
treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy and non-surgical refractory back pain,
respectively. In January 2020 at NANS 2020, we presented the three-month data
from our SENZA-PDN study, which was the largest SCS randomized controlled trial
conducted to date for PDN. In January 2021, we presented the six-month data from
our SENZA-PDN study at NANS 2021. In April 2021, the six-month data from the
SENZA-PDN study was additionally published in JAMA Neurology, an international
peer-reviewed journal. With regard to the SENZA-NSRBP study, we presented the
three-month primary endpoint results in January 2021 at NANS 2021, representing
the first release of data from this randomized controlled trial. Both the
SENZA-PDN and SENZA-NSRBP studies are ongoing, and further data will be
presented and published in leading journals as the data becomes available.

Significant Investment in U.S. Sales Organization



We are continuing to make investments in building our U.S. commercial
infrastructure and recruiting and training our U.S. sales force. This is a
lengthy process that requires recruiting appropriate sales representatives,
establishing and, on occasion, refining a commercial infrastructure in the
United States and training our sales representatives. Following initial training
for Senza, our sales representatives typically require lead time in the field to
grow their network of accounts and produce sales results. Successfully
recruiting and training a sufficient number of productive sales representatives
has been required to achieve growth at the rate we expect.

Access to Hospital Facilities



In the United States, in order for physicians to use our products, the hospital
facilities where these physicians treat patients often require us to enter into
purchasing contracts directly with the hospital facilities or with the Group
Purchasing Organizations of which the hospital facilities are members. This
process can be lengthy and time-consuming and requires extensive negotiations
and management time. In Europe, we may be required to engage in a contract
bidding process in order to sell our products, where the bidding processes are
only open at certain periods of time, and we may not be successful in the
bidding process.

We Do Not Expect to Continue to Experience Our Historical Worldwide Revenue Growth Rates



Our worldwide revenue has increased from $18.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2012 to $362.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Since
May 2015 when we commenced the commercial launch of Senza in the U.S., our
worldwide revenue growth has been substantially driven by sales of Senza in the
United States. Over the past two years, our revenue growth in international
markets has slowed significantly. Although we had experienced significant growth
in sales in the United States for several years following our launch, we do not
expect to continue that historic rate of revenue growth in the United States or
on a worldwide basis. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our revenue in 2020 and
we expect continued impact in 2021 as the pandemic continues. Further, due to a
number of factors, including governmental reimbursement constraints in the
European SCS market limiting the number of annual SCS implants, market pressure
in Australia and our current penetration in these markets, we expect minimal, if
any, growth in our international markets.

Critical Accounting Policies, Significant Judgments and Use of Estimates



Our management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these condensed
consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that we believe to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form
the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Our
significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We adopted
ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, on January 1,
2021. There have been no other significant or material changes in our critical
accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the items we
disclosed as our critical accounting policies in Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue



Our revenue is generated primarily from sales to two types of customers:
hospitals and outpatient medical facilities, with each being served primarily
through a direct sales force. Sales to these entities are billed to, and paid
by, the hospitals and outpatient

                                       23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
medical facilities as part of their normal payment processes, with payment
received by us in the form of an electronic transfer, check or credit card
payment. Product sales to third-party distributors are billed to and paid by the
distributors as part of their normal payment processes, with payment received by
us in the form of an electronic transfer.

U.S. revenue is generally recognized after our sales representatives deliver our
product at the point of implantation and upon the completion and authorization
of the implant procedure. In response to competitive practices and pressures, we
have offered some volume price discounting for larger orders, where products are
ordered in advance of an implantation and revenue is recognized when the
transfer of control occurs at the time of shipment.

Revenue from sales of our Senza products fluctuate based on the selling price of
the system, as the average sales price of a system varies geographically and by
the type of system sold, and based on the mix of sales by geography. Our revenue
from international sales can also be significantly impacted by fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates, as our sales are denominated in the local
currency in the countries in which we sell our products.

We expect our revenue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of
factors, including seasonality. For example, the industry generally experiences
lower revenues in the first and third quarters of the year and higher revenues
in the fourth quarter. Our revenue has been impacted by these industry trends.
Further, the impact of the buying patterns and implant volumes of hospitals and
medical facilities, and third-party distributors may vary, and as a result could
have an effect on our revenue from quarter to quarter.

Cost of Revenue

We currently utilize contract manufacturers for the production of Senza products. Cost of revenue consists primarily of acquisition costs of the components of Senza, manufacturing overhead, royalty payments, scrap and inventory excess and obsolescence charges, as well as distribution-related expenses, such as logistics and shipping costs, net of costs charged to customers.



We calculate gross margin as revenue less cost of revenue divided by revenue.
Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of
factors, but primarily by our average sales price and the costs to have our
products manufactured. While costs are primarily incurred in U.S. dollars,
international revenue may be impacted by the appreciation or depreciation of the
U.S. dollar, which may impact our overall gross margin. Our gross margin is also
affected by our ability to reduce manufacturing costs as a percentage of
revenue.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of R&D expense, and sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expense. Personnel costs are the most significant component of operating expenses and consist primarily of salaries, bonus incentives, benefits, stock-based compensation and sales commissions.



Research and Development. R&D costs are expensed as incurred. R&D expense
consists primarily of personnel costs, including salary, employee benefits and
stock-based compensation expenses for our R&D employees. R&D expense also
includes costs associated with product design efforts, development prototypes,
testing, clinical trial programs and regulatory activities, contractors and
consultants, equipment and software to support our development, facilities and
information technology. We expect product development expenses to decrease in
absolute dollars. Our R&D expenses may fluctuate from period to period due to
the timing and extent of our R&D and clinical trial expenses.

Sales, General and Administrative. SG&A expense consists primarily of personnel
costs, including salary, employee benefits and stock-based compensation expenses
for our sales and marketing personnel, including sales commissions, and for
administrative personnel that support our general operations, such as
information technology, executive management, financial accounting, customer
service and human resources personnel. We expense commissions at the time of the
sale. SG&A expense also includes costs attributable to marketing, as well as
travel, intellectual property and other legal fees, financial audit fees,
insurance, fees for other consulting services, depreciation and facilities.

We significantly increased the size of our sales presence worldwide during 2018
and 2019, and we have maintained the overall size of our sales organization in
2020. We have historically increased marketing spending in order to generate
additional sales opportunities. Additionally, we have made substantial
investments in our U.S. commercial infrastructure to support our
commercialization efforts in the United States.

Since 2017, we have experienced significant legal expenses associated with our
various intellectual property litigations. We anticipate significant continued
expenses associated with these legal activities. Additionally, we continue to
incur significant expenses related to audit, legal, regulatory and tax-related
services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and SEC
requirements, including compliance under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act), director and officer insurance

                                       24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
premiums and investor relations costs associated with being a public company.
Our SG&A expense may fluctuate from period to period due to the seasonality of
our revenue, the timing and extent of our SG&A expense, and the direct impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic on certain discretionary expense items such as travel and
trade shows.

Interest Income and Interest Expense



Interest income consists primarily of interest income earned on our investments
and interest expense consists of interest paid on our outstanding debt and the
amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net consists primarily of foreign currency transaction gains and losses and the gains and losses from the remeasurement of foreign-denominated balances to the U.S. dollar.

Provision for Income Taxes



The provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes in foreign
jurisdictions in which we conduct business as well as states where we have
determined we have state nexus. We maintain a full valuation allowance for all
of our U.S. deferred tax assets including net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards
and federal and state tax credits.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts



We make estimates as to the overall collectability of accounts receivable and
provide an allowance for accounts receivable considered uncollectible based on
current expected credit losses. We specifically analyze accounts receivable
based on historical bad debt experience, customer concentrations, customer
credit-worthiness, the age of the receivable, current economic trends, and
changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance
for doubtful accounts. We record the adjustment in sales, general and
administrative expense.
