Cantel Medical Corp.                                 20202021 First Quarter Form 10-Q

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)(Unaudited).

1.    Basis of Presentation

Throughout this document, references to “Cantel,” “us,” “we,” “our,” and the “Company” are references to Cantel Medical Corp. and its subsidiaries, except where the context makes it clear the reference is to Cantel itself and not its subsidiaries.

Cantel is a leading provider of infection prevention products and services in the healthcare market, specializing in the following reportable segments: Medical, Life Sciences, Dental and Dialysis. See Note 15, “Reportable Segments.” Most of our equipment, consumables and supplies are used to help prevent the occurrence or spread of infections.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 10.0110-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP for annual financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report of Cantel Medical Corp. on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 20192020 (the “2019“2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included elsewhere herein. The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature) which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for these periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at July 31, 20192020 was derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet of Cantel at that date. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the novel Coronavirus disease 2019, or (COVID-19) as a pandemic. We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Considerable uncertainty still surrounds the COVID-19 virus and its potential effects, and the extent of and effectiveness of responses taken on international, national and local levels. Measures taken to limit the impact of COVID-19, including shelter-in-place orders, social distancing measures, travel bans and restrictions, and business and government shutdowns, continue to create significant negative economic impacts on a global basis. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business remains uncertain and difficult to predict, as the response to the pandemic continues to evolve.

During the second half of fiscal 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted net sales and the related operations of both our Medical and Dental segments as a result of the postponement of elective medical procedures and routine dental procedures. Towards the end of fiscal 2020, we experienced gradual improvements in these respective businesses as restrictions were lifted and limitations eased. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, patient procedure volume trends have improved as demand for both medical and dental procedures have increase during this period.

While we currently expect to see improvement in the remainder of fiscal 2021, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and continues to evolve differently across various geographies. We believe it is likely to continue to experience unexpected impacts on our business due to the resurgence of the virus occurring in cities across the globe.

In preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions, including estimates and assumptions specific to any impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our operations and cash flows. The estimates and assumptions used by management affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Changes to estimates related to the COVID-19 disruptions could result in other impacts, including but not limited to goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges, inventory write downs and bad debt expense. Actual results could differ from these estimates and the differences could be material. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future activity, our results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be adversely impacted.

Subsequent Events

We performed a review of events subsequent to October 31, 20192020 through the date of issuance of the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “(Topic 842) Leases,” (“ASU 2016-02”). The new guidance requires the recording of assets and liabilities arising from leases on our condensed consolidated balance sheet accompanied by enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018 (our fiscal year 2020), including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” and ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements,” in December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20, “Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors” andin March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements.” These ASUs provide adjustments relating to ASU 2016-02 and improvements to comparative reporting requirements for initial adoption and for separating components of a contract for lessors. We adopted the collective standard “ASC 842” using the modified retrospective transition approach with optional transition relief, and recognized the cumulative effect of applying the new leasing standard to existing contracts on our condensed consolidated balance sheet on August 1, 2019. Therefore, results for reporting periods beginning after August 1, 2019 are presented under the new leasing standard; however, the comparative prior period amounts have not been restated and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting under ASC Topic 840. The most significant effects of adoption of the new leasing standard relate to the recognition of right-of-use assets of $35,842 and lease liabilities of $36,417 for operating leases, which we recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet on August 1, 2019. The new leasing standard did not impact our condensed consolidated statements of income or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note 6, “Leases” for a discussion of the impact to the condensed consolidated balance sheets and related disclosures.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02,
“Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-02”) to allow for the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (our fiscal year 2020), including interim periods within that reporting period. Accordingly, we adopted ASU 2018-02 on August 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-02 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently IssuedNewly Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “(Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” (“ASU 2020-04”) to provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 was subject to election as of March 20, 2020 and can be elected for both interim and annual periods through December 31, 2022. We adopted ASU 2020-04 on August 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15,“Customer’s “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018-15”) to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (our fiscal year 2021), including interim periods within that reporting period. We adopted ASU 2018-15 on August 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 isdid not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13,“Disclosure “Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”) to modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in ASC 820, “Fair“Fair Value Measurement”.Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (our fiscal year 2021), including interim periods within that reporting period. We adopted ASU 2018-13 on August 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 isdid not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “(“(Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,,” (“ASU 2017-04”) to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. The revised guidance eliminates the existing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test which required an entity to compute the implied fair value of its goodwill at the testing date in order to measure the amount of the impairment charge when the fair value of the reporting unit failed Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis on or after the effective date. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019 (our fiscal year 2021) and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We adopted ASU 2017-04 on August 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 isdid not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement“Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,,” (“ASU 2016-13”) to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (our fiscal year 2021). We adopted ASU 2016-13 on August 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “(Subtopic 470-20): Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options” (“ASU 2020-06”) to address the complexity associated with applying GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The ASU includes amendments to the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments which include beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20. Additionally, the ASU will require entities to use the “if-converted” method when calculating diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 (our fiscal year 2022), including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The impact on our diluted earnings per share could be material upon the adoption of ASU 2020-06.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “(Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” (“ASU 2019-12”) to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and

amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 (our fiscal year 2022), including interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Excess tax benefits arise when the ultimate tax effect of the deduction for tax purposes is greater than the income tax benefit on stock-based compensation. For the three months ended October 31, 2020, income tax deductions of $1,698 were generated, of which $2,778 was recorded as a reduction in income tax expense over the equity awards’ vesting period and the remaining excess tax expense of $1,080 was recorded as an increase in income tax expense. For the three months ended October 31, 2019, income tax deductions of $2,022 were generated, of which $2,581 were recorded as a reduction in income tax expense over the equity awards’ vesting period and the remaining excess tax expense of $559 was recorded as an increase in income tax expense. For the three months ended October 31, 2018, income tax deductions of $3,059 were generated, of which $2,062 were recorded as a reduction in income tax expense over the equity awards’ vesting period and the remaining excess tax benefit of $997 was recorded as a reduction into income tax expense.

5.    Revenue Recognition

We adopted ASC 606, effective August 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of August 1, 2018. Due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 606, we recorded a net increase of $865 to opening retained earnings, net of tax, as of August 1, 2018. The impact is primarily related to the timing of revenue recognition for the shipment of products in both our Medical and Life Sciences segments where risk of loss provisions are present (“synthetic FOB destination”). The new standard does not require us to defer revenue for these products and allows us to recognize revenue at the time of shipment. The cumulative adjustment to retained earnings also includes the impact of the change in timing of revenue recognition associated with software licensing arrangements in our Medical segment. Additionally, revenue related to software renewals was historically recognized on a ratable basis over the license period. Under ASC 606, the license is considered functional intellectual property, and is considered to be transferred to the customer at a point in time, specifically, at the start of each annual renewal period. As a result, revenue related to our annual software license renewals has been accelerated.

Remaining Performance Obligations

At October 31, 2019,2020, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) was approximately $73,456,$81,556, primarily within the Medical segment. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 70% of these remaining performance obligations over the remainder of fiscal 20202021 and fiscal 2021.2022. These performance obligations primarily reflect the future product service revenues for multi-period service arrangements.

6.    Leases

Adoption of “Leases (ASC 842)”

We adopted ASC 842, effective August 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition approach with optional transition relief, and recognized the cumulative effect of applying the new leasing standard to existing contracts on our condensed consolidated balance sheet on August 1, 2019. Results for reporting beginning after August 1, 2019 are presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and will continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under ASC 840.

We elected a package of practical expedients that were consequently applied to all leases. We did not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, lease classification for expired or existing leases, nor whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under the new standard. Upon transition, we did not elect to use hindsight with respect to lease renewals and purchase options when accounting for existing leases, as well as assessing the impairment of right-of-use assets. Therefore, lease terms largely remained unchanged. In addition, we elected the short-term lease recognition exemption and did not recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset on our condensed consolidated balance sheet for all leases with terms of 12 months or less. We elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components in total gross rent for all of our leases which resulted in larger lease liabilities recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Our lease portfolio consists primarily of real estate, equipment and vehicles. We have approximately 90 real estate leases with lease terms ranging from 1 year to 16 years, which include our corporate headquarters, regional headquarters, and other facilities for sales and administration, warehousing, manufacturing and training. Our equipment leases primarily consist of furniture, computers and other office equipment.

Right-of-use assets represent our rightSupplemental balance sheet information related to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. At lease commencement, we record a liability for our lease obligation measured at the present value of future lease payments and a right-of-use asset equal to the lease liability adjusted for prepayments and lease incentives. We use our collateralized incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of lease liabilities as most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate that is readily determinable. We do not recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset on our condensed consolidated balance sheet for any leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Some real estate leases include one or more options to renew or terminate a lease. The exercise of a lease renewal or termination option is assessed at commencement of the lease and only reflected in the lease term if we are reasonably certain to exercise the option. We have lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance fees, and we have made a policy election tofollows:

8.    Derivatives
Foreign Currency

In order to hedge against the impact of fluctuations in the value of the Euro, British Pound, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Singapore dollar and Chinese Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar on the conversion of such net assets into the functional currencies, we enter into short-term forward contracts to purchase such foreign currencies,or sell Euros, British Pounds, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Singapore dollars and Chinese Renminbi, which contracts are one-month in duration. These


(dollar amounts in thousands except share and per share data or as otherwise noted) 13


Cantel Medical Corp.                                 2020 First Quarter Form 10-Q

short-term contracts are designated as fair value hedge instruments. These foreign currency forward contracts are continually replaced with new one-month contracts as long as we have significant net assets that are denominated and ultimately settled in currencies other than each entity’s functional currency. Gains and losses related to hedging contracts to buy foreign currencies forward are immediately realized within general and administrative expenses due to the short-term nature of such contracts. We do not currently hedge against the impact of fluctuations in the value of the Japanese Yen and Sri Lankan Rupee relative to the U.S. dollar because the overall foreign currency exposure relating to these currencies is not material.

There were 6 foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional value of $73,559$63,836 and $78,264$81,677 at October 31, 20192020 and July 31, 2019,2020, respectively, which covered certain assets and liabilities that were denominated in currencies other than each entity’s functional currency. For the three months ended October 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the settlements of our forward contracts resulted in immaterial amounts of currency conversion gains and losses on the hedged items in the aggregate.

Variable Rate Borrowings

In order to hedge against the impact of fluctuations in the interest rate associated with our variable rate borrowings, in fiscal 2019, we entered into 2 interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $150,000, expiring on June 28, 2023. The swaps fixed interest rates at 2.45%2.265%. In March 2020, we terminated our existing interest rate swaps and entered into a new interest rate swap (the “March 2020 Swap”) with a notional value of $500,000, which fixed interest rates at 1.297% and was set to expire on September 6, 2024. As the original forecasted hedged transactions (interest payments on variable rate debt) are still probable to occur, the $8,534 net loss related to the terminated swaps reported in accumulated other comprehensive income on the termination date will be amortized to interest expense through June 28, 2023, the original maturity date of the swaps.

On May 13, 2020, in connection with the Second Amendment to our credit agreement, we terminated the March 2020 Swap and entered into a new interest rate swap (the “May 2020 Swap”) with a notional value of $500,000, which included a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, fixed interest rates at 2.08% and will expire on September 6, 2024. As the original forecasted hedged transactions related to the March 2020 Swap (interest payments on variable rate debt) are still probable to occur, the $19,980 net loss related to the terminated swaps reported in accumulated other comprehensive income on the termination date will be amortized to interest expense through September 6, 2024, the original maturity date of the swap. The new interest rate swap reflects the 1.00% LIBOR floor included in the Amended Credit Agreement, which allows for continued hedge accounting treatment. Changes in the fair value of the amended interest rate swap contract will continue to be recognized in other comprehensive income.

At October 31, 2019, we had a short-term asset of $1,119 recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and a long-term asset of $3,812 recorded in other assets, which represent2020, the fair value of the interest rate swaps. At July 31, 2019, we had a short-term asset of $486swap was $20,119, which included $5,465 recorded in prepaidaccrued expenses and other current assets, and a long-term asset of $2,826$14,654 recorded in other assets.long-term liabilities. As of July 31, 2020, the fair value of the interest rate swap was $21,156, which included $5,462 recorded in accrued expenses and $15,694 recorded in other long-term liabilities. The fair value of thesethe interest rate swapsswap is subject to movements in LIBOR and will fluctuate in future periods.

9.    Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
 
We apply the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for our financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value each reporting period and our nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis. We define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Our financial assets that are re-measured at fair value on a recurring basis include money market funds that are classified as cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated condensed consolidated balance sheets. These money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and are valued using quoted market prices for identical assets.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps, all of which qualify for cash flow hedge accounting, is recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the related gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The changes in fair value are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings in the same period that the hedged items affect earnings. The valuation technique used to determine fair value is the income approach. Under this approach, we use projected future interest rates, which fall into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as

Cantel Medical Corp.                                 2021 First Quarter Form 10-Q
defined by ASC 820, as provided by counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements and the fixed rates that we are obligated to pay under the agreements. See Note 8, “Derivatives” for additional information.

For the Hu-Friedy acquisition, additional purchase price payments ranging from 0 to $50,000 arewere (i) contingent upon the achievement of certain commercial milestones through March 31, 2021.2021, and (ii) contingent upon changes in our common stock price from the date of closing through a future date subject to a registration rights agreement. We estimated the aggregate fair value of the twothese contingent consideration arrangements to be $35,100$38,371 at the date of acquisition, andwhich was reported separately in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The initial value assigned toFor the contingent consideration arrangements based upon the achievement of certain commercial milestones, the initial value assigned at the date of acquisition was determined on the basis of forecasted sales and gross profit percentage of Hu-Friedy products over the next twelve to eighteen months. The fair value was determined by employingDuring the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we paid $25,000 to settle a Monte Carlo simulation in a risk neutral framework, withportion of this contingent consideration arrangement related to net sales achieved for the underlying simulated variable oftwelve month period ended December 31, 2019. For the remaining contingent consideration arrangement related to net sales and the related achievement of certain gross margin percentages. The model also included assumptions on the market price of risk, which was calculated as the weighted average cost of capital less the long-term risk free-rate. We are required to reassessprofit percentage, we reduced the fair value from a liability of contingent paymentsapproximately $17,210 to $0 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on a periodic basis. Although we believe our assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions or changes in the future may result in different estimated amounts.Hu-Friedy’s current and expected performance.

For the contingent consideration arrangement based upon changes in our common stock price through a future date, we were required to pay to the sellers of Hu-Friedy an amount in cash equal to $35,000 minus the aggregate net proceeds received by the seller in connection with a future equity issuance if the amount of such aggregate net proceeds was less than $35,000. The initial fair value assigned to this contingent consideration arrangement was determined based on the closing price of our common stock at the date that the acquisition closed (October 1, 2019) relative to the contracted stock price stipulated in the purchase agreement. On February 13, 2020, we entered into a stock repurchase agreement with Dental Holding LLC, the former owners of Hu-Friedy (the “Repurchase Agreement”). The Repurchase Agreement amended the Hu-Friedy purchase and sale agreement and the related registration rights agreement to provide that we repurchase a portion of the shares from the seller included in the equity consideration transferred at a price per share of $64.51 (the “Repurchase”), which equals the closing price of shares of our common stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange on February 12, 2020. The Repurchase of 438,359 common shares was completed on February 13, 2020, and the shares were thereafter canceled and retired. The Hu-Friedy purchase and sale agreement further required us to pay to the seller an amount in cash equal to $35,000 minus the aggregate net proceeds received by the seller from an equity issuance if the amount of such aggregate net proceeds was less than $35,000 (the “True-Up Obligation”). The Repurchase Agreement further amended the purchase and sale agreement to provide that in satisfaction of the True-Up Obligation, we make a payment to the sellers in an amount equal to $6,721 to settle the contingent obligation, which amount equals $35,000 minus the aggregate amount of $28,279 paid to Dental Holding as consideration for the Repurchase. These payments were made to Dental Holding on February 13, 2020.

For the fiscal 2018 Aexis Medical BVBA acquisition, additional purchase price payments ranging from 0 to $1,850 arewere contingent upon the achievement of certain purchase order targets through March 21, 2020. We estimated the original fair value of the contingent consideration using the weighted probabilities of the possible contingent payments. At the date of acquisition, we estimated the original fair value of the contingent consideration to be $1,292. In June 2020, we paid $1,691 to settle the contingent consideration.

We are required to reassess the fair value of contingent consideration payments on a periodic basis. The significant inputs used in these estimates include numerous possible scenarios for the payments based on the contractual terms of the contingent consideration, for which probabilities are assigned to each scenario. Given the short term nature of the financial instrument, the contingent consideration is not discounted to present value. Although we believe our assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions or changes in the future may result in different estimated amounts.

Convertible Debt

Convertible debt principal amount$168,000 $168,000 
Unamortized original issue discount(37,282)(38,919)
Unamortized debt issuance costs(4,101)(4,246)
Total convertible debt, net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs$126,617 $124,835 

On May 15, 2020, we issued $168,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) in a private placement, including pursuant to the grant to the initial purchasers of $140,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes, an option to purchase up to an additional $28,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes. The private placement offering closed on May 15, 2020. The initial conversion price is $41.51 per share of common stock (based on an initial conversion rate of 24.0912 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes) and will be subject to adjustment if certain events occur. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $162,977 (including net proceeds relating to the issuance of the additional Notes), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and before the cost of offering expenses. As required by the Amended Credit Agreement, we were required to apply at least 50% of the amount by which the net proceeds exceed $100,000, or $31,500, to the repayment of debt under our credit facilities in fiscal 2020.

Due to the cash conversion feature included in the Notes, the carrying value of the Notes was allocated between a liability and an equity component. Upon issuance, the liability component of the convertible debt was $123,346, net of a $40,289 discount and net of debt issuance costs of $4,365. The initial carrying value of the equity component recorded in additional paid-in-capital was $29,184, net of a $10,072 deferred tax liability, $1,377 of debt issuance costs and a $344 deferred tax asset. The $40,289 debt discount and $4,365 of debt issuance costs are amortized as non-cash interest expense over the contractual term of the convertible debt using the effective interest method, at a rate of 9.36%. Cash interest for the three months ended October 31, 2020 was $1,365.

COVID-19

As further described in Note 1 “Basis of Presentation,” the magnitude and depth of disruption to our business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic continue to remain highly uncertain. However, based on our current estimates, we do not anticipate these disruptions will impact our ability to maintain compliance with our debt covenants through the end of fiscal 2021.

12.    Commitments and Contingencies

Contingent Consideration and Assumed Contingent Liability

At October 31, 2019, $35,100 was recorded associated with the Hu-Friedy acquisition, which is for the estimated fair value of contingent consideration arrangements that are payable upon the achievement of certain commercial milestones through March 31, 2021. Additionally, $1,668 was recorded associated with the Aexis acquisition, which is for the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable upon the achievement of certain purchase order targets through March 21, 2020. See Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements.”

Legal MattersProceedings

In the normal course of business, we are subject to pending and threatened legal actions. It is our policy to accrue for amounts related to these legal matters if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount of anticipated exposure can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that any of these pending claims or legal actions will have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Restructuring Matters

In connection with our response to COVID-19, our ongoing efforts to streamline and consolidate our global operations and integrate the Hu-Friedy acquisition with our legacy Dental business, we have incurred approximately $5,592 and $5,428 of restructuring-related charges in each of the three months periods ended October 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The majority of these charges consisted of onetime benefit-related costs (severance, accelerated stock-based compensation costs and other benefit costs) associated with actions taken to reduce headcount. At October 31, 2020 and July 31, 2020, $8,468 and $7,887 was included in compensation payable on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three months ended October 31, 2020, we made $5,011 of severance-related cash payments. The remaining unpaid severance at October 31, 2020, will be paid out ratably during the remainder of fiscal 2021 and into fiscal 2022 in accordance with our employee separation policy.

14.    Earnings Per Common Share

Basic EPSearnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted EPS is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method and the average market price of our common stock for the year. As we expect to settle the principal amount of our outstanding convertible debt in cash and any excess in shares of our common stock, we use the treasury stock method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion spread on diluted earnings per share, if applicable. The conversion spread will have a dilutive impact on diluted earnings per share of common stock when the average market price of our common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price of $41.51 per share. Our convertible debt is further described in Note 11, “Financing Arrangements.”

We include participating securities (nonvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents) in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. Our participating securities consist solely of nonvested restricted stock awards, which have contractual participation rights equivalent to those of stockholders of unrestricted common stock. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an allocation method that calculates earnings per share for common stock and participating securities.

15.    Reportable Segments
In accordance with ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” (“ASC 280”), we have determined our reportable business segments based upon an assessment of product types, organizational structure, customers and internally prepared financial statements. The primary factors used by us in analyzing segment performance are net sales and income from operations.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and as a result of the Hu-Friedy acquisition, we moved the financial reporting and management of our industrial biological and chemical indicator business to our Dental segment from our Life Sciences segment. Prior year segment disclosures have been recast to conform to the current year presentation.

Item 2.    Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help you understand Cantel. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the accompanying notes.

Overview
Cantel is a leading provider of infection prevention products and services in the healthcare market, specializing in the following reportable segments: Medical, Life Sciences, Dental and Dialysis. Most of our equipment, consumables and supplies are used to help prevent the occurrence or spread of infections.

COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread throughout the United States and other countries across the world, and the duration and severity of its effects are currently unknown. The global pandemic has adversely impacted and is likely to further adversely impact our business and markets, including our workforce and operations and the operations of our customers, suppliers, and business partners. Considerable uncertainty still surrounds the COVID-19 virus and its potential effects, and the extent of and effectiveness of responses taken on international, national and local levels. Measures taken to limit the impact of COVID-19, including shelter-in-place orders, social distancing measures, travel bans and restrictions, and business and government shutdowns, have already created significant negative economic impacts on a global basis.

To date, we have been able to continue our operations with limited disruptions in supply and manufacturing. Although, it is difficult to predict the broad macroeconomic effects that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on industries or individual companies, we have assessed the possible effects and outcomes of the pandemic on, among other things, our supply chain, customers and distributors, discounts and rebates, employee base, product sustainability, research and development efforts, product pipeline and consumer demand. During the second half of fiscal 2020, we implemented several measures to reduce operating costs, conserve liquidity and navigate through this unprecedented situation. These management cost reduction measures included salary reductions, employee furloughs, travel reductions and the deferral of certain operating and capital expenditures.

During the second half of fiscal 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted net sales and the related operations of both our Medical and Dental segments as a result of the postponement of elective medical procedures and routine dental procedures. Towards the end of fiscal 2020, we experienced gradual improvements in these respective businesses as restrictions were lifted and limitations eased. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, patient procedure volume trends have improved as demand for both medical and dental procedures have increase during this period.

While we currently expect to see improvement in the remainder of fiscal 2021, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and continues to evolve differently across various geographies. We believe it is likely to continue to experience unexpected impacts on our business based on some of the resurgence of the virus that is now occurring in cities across the globe. See “Results of Operations” for a more detailed discussion.

The increasedecrease in organic net sales was primarily driven by increasedthe delayed timing of capital equipment sales relateddue to servicethe COVID-19 pandemic. Although U.S. endoscopy procedure volumes have declined compared to the prior year, procedural product sales have outperformed the underlying volume declines across all regions. While we expect to see improvement during the remainder of fiscal 2021 as surgical and chemistries,elective procedure volumes return to pre-COVID levels, we could experience variable impacts on our Medical business if a resurgence of the virus emerges and to a lesser extent, our procedure room products and consumables. The sales growth was driven by international sales increases, most notably in Canada, and our domestic service business.elective procedures were postponed again.

Life Sciences. Net sales decreased by $2,701$3,573 or 5.2%7.3% for the three months ended October 31, 20192020 compared with the three months ended October 31, 2018,2019, which consisted of a 4.0%7.3% decrease due to divestitures, 1.1%in organic sales decrease and a decrease of 0.1% due to foreign currency translation.sales. The decrease in net sales was primarily due the divestiture of our high purity water businessto lower demand for portable reverse osmosis units resulting from unprecedented demand shift in Canada, which occurredprior fiscal year and delayed capital projects in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, and the continued softness in demand for capital equipment, primarily in the medicalhemodialysis water business. We expect this softness in demand to begin to stabilize inAs the latter partmajority of fiscal 2020. For a more detailed discussion on the competitive threat to our hemodialysis water business, see Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

our distributor network in fiscal 2019, which negatively impacted our 2019 net sales, did not reoccur in 2020. As a result, our net sales have returned to normalized organic growth during the three months ended October 31, 2019.

Dialysis.Net sales decreased by $555 or 6.9%, for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared with the three months ended October 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in domestic sales as our customer base continues to shift to dry acid, further eroding our liquid concentrate business.

Gross Profit
Gross profit increased by $10,620 or 10.1%, to $115,869 for the three months ended October 31, 2019 from $105,249 for the three months ended October 31, 2018. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018 was 45.0% and 46.7%, respectively. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was due to the amortization of the step up in inventory acquired in the Hu-Friedy acquisition, and to a lesser extent, increased labor costs resulting from livable wage increases taken in the latter part of fiscal 2019, partially offset by favorable mix associated with the Hu-Friedy products.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased $23,874 or 30.8% to $101,445 for the three months ended October 31, 2019 from $77,571 for the three months ended October 31, 2018. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018 was 39.4% and 34.4%, respectively.

The increase was primarily due to our recent acquisitions. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales were 14.9% and 15.1% for the three months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
General and administrative expenses increased by $18,752 or 51.3%, to $55,287 for the three months ended October 31, 2019 from $36,535 for the three months ended October 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to our recent acquisitions, certain transaction and integration-related costs, restructuring-related costs, higher amortization expense and elevated depreciation expense related to our new ERP platform and our new Medical headquarters in Minnesota. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 21.5% and 16.2% for the three months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 Research and development expenses (which include continuing engineering costs) increased by $669 or 9.5%, to $7,747 for the three months ended October 31, 2019 from $7,078 for the three months ended October 31, 2018. The increase was due primarily to research and development projects in our Life Sciences segment. Research and development expenses as a percentage of net sales were 3.0% and 3.1% forbusiness supports non-elective medical treatment, the three months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Income from Operations

Medical. Income from operations decreased by $4,092 or 16.2%, for the three months ended October 31, 2019 comparedCOVID-19 pandemic has not materially impacted this business, with the three months ended October 31, 2018.

If the pandemic continues, it could further impact capital equipment volume and future service revenues at our customers.

Life Sciences. Income from operations increased by $1,563 or 28.1%, for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared with the three months ended October 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to a reduction of this segment’s overall expense base as a result of the divestiture of our high purity water business in Canada, partially offset by lower net sales.

Dental.
Income from operations decreased by $1,680 or 25.1%, for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared with the three months ended October 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to certain acquisition and integration-related costs, inventory step-up amortization as a result of the Hu-Friedy acquisition, higher depreciation and amortization expense as a result of our recent acquisitions, partially offset by incremental income from operations related to these recent acquisitions.

Dialysis. Income from operations increased by $238 or 17.2%, for the three months ended October 31, 2019 compared with the three months ended October 31, 2018.

Dental. Net sales increased by $43,763 or 65.1%, for the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared with the three months ended October 31, 2019, which consisted of a 63.3% increase due to acquisitions and 1.8% organic sales increase. The Hu-Friedy acquisition contributed $42,081 of incremental net sales in the quarter. Although we experienced an organic sales increase during the current period due to increased PPE sales, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the Dental segment due to reduced dental procedures during the three months ended October 31, 2020. While we expect to see improvement during the remainder of fiscal 2021 as routine and elective dental procedure volumes return to pre-COVID levels, we could experience variable impacts on our Dental business if a resurgence of the virus emerges and such procedures were postponed again.

Dialysis.Net sales increased by $627 or 8.3%, for the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared with the three months ended October 31, 2019.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019 was 49.6% and 45.0%, respectively. The increase in gross profit for the three month period primarily related to certain actions taken by management to reduce variable costs in response to lower sales volume due to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by the decreases in net sales in the Medical segment due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related excess capacity costs and changes in product mix. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was driven by a lower cost base as a result of measures taken as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and favorable leverage of our fixed manufacturing costs, primarily in our Medical and Dental segments.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased by $4,431 or 4.4% to $97,014 for the three months ended October 31, 2020 from $101,445 for the three months ended October 31, 2019, primarily resulting from a reduction in our overall cost structure from actions taken by management in response to the COVID-19 pandemic during fiscal 2020. This was partially offset by a full quarter of operating costs related to the Hu-Friedy acquisition. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019 were 32.6% and 39.4%, respectively.

Selling expenses increased by $1,652 or 4.3%, to $40,063 for the three months ended October 31, 2020 from $38,411 for the three months ended October 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the acquired operations of Hu-Friedy for a full fiscal quarter in the current year.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $5,909 or 10.7%, to $49,378 for the three months ended October 31, 2020 from $55,287 for the three months ended October 31, 2019. The decrease for the three month period primarily relates to a reduction in our overall cost structure from actions taken by management in response to the COVID-19 pandemic during fiscal 2020. This was partially offset by restructuring-related costs, higher amortization expense and a full quarter of general and administrative expenses related to the Hu-Friedy acquisition. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 16.6% and 21.5% for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Research and development expenses (which include continuing engineering costs) decreased by $174 or 2.2%, to $7,573 for the three months ended October 31, 2020 from $7,747 for the three months ended October 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily a result of a reduction in research and development expense in our Medical segment. Research and development expenses as a percentage of net sales were 2.5% and 3.0% for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Income from Operations

Medical. Income from operations increased by $5,597 or 26.5%, for the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared with the three months ended October 31, 2019. Although net sales declined slightly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic noted above, income from operations improved due to the decrease in certain operating expenses resulting from management cost reduction measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and a shift towards higher margin products.

Life Sciences. Income from operations increased by $940 or 13.2%, for the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared with the three months ended October 31, 2019. Although net sales declined as noted above, income from operations

(dollar amounts in thousands except share and per share data or as otherwise noted) 23


Cantel Medical Corp.                                 2021 First Quarter Form 10-Q
improved due to the decrease in certain operating expenses resulting from management cost reduction measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and to a lesser extent, a shift towards higher margin products.

Dental. Income from operations increased by $20,303 or 405.7%, for the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared with the three months ended October 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to inclusion of Hu-Friedy operations (which includes overall higher margin products) for a full quarter in the current fiscal year, cost synergies resulting from the Hu-Friedy integration and the reduction of certain acquisition and integration-related costs and inventory step-up amortization. The three month period was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with reduced procedure volumes as noted above and a reduction in our overall cost structure from actions taken by management in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dialysis. Income from operations increased by $944 or 58.2%, for the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared with the three months ended October 31, 2019.

Such expenses increaseddecreased by $9,283$8,144 or 83.1%39.8%, for the three months ended October 31, 20192020 from the three months ended October 31, 2018. The increase2019. This decrease was primarily due to an increase indriven by acquisition-related and transaction charges incurred in connection with the Hu-Friedy acquisition.acquisition in the prior year period and to a lesser extent, a reduction in our overall cost structure from actions taken by management in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net increased by $3,693$10,574 or 182.3%184.9%, to $16,293 for the three months ended October 31, 2020 from $5,719 for the three months ended October 31, 2019 from $2,026 for the three months ended October 31, 2018. These2019. The increase resulted from an increase in the average outstanding borrowings due todebt, which includes both theour term loan and revolver borrowings made to support the funding of our recent acquisitions,the Hu-Friedy acquisition and to increase our liquidity. In addition, interest expense has also increased as a lesser extent, higher variableresult of the May 2020 issuance of convertible debt, which was also done to increase our liquidity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Interest expense, net includes non-cash interest rates.of $829 and $421 for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. Non-cash interest of $1,637 related to the amortization of the discount on the convertible debt was also included in the three months ended October 31, 2020. Non-cash interest of $1,413 related to the amortization of the loss on terminated interest rate swaps was also included in the three months ended October 31, 2020. We expect interest expense to be elevated during fiscal 2021 as a result of a full year of interest expense associated with our convertible debt and the amortization of the loss on terminated interest rate swaps.

Income Taxes

The consolidated effective tax rate increaseddecreased to 28.2% for the three months ended October 31, 2020 from 33.8% for the three months ended October 31, 2019 from 25.0% for the three months ended October 31, 2018.2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating our operating performance, we supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) with certain non-GAAP financial measures including (i) non-GAAP net income, (ii) non-GAAP earnings per diluted share (“EPS”), (iii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, loss on disposal of fixed assets, and stock-based compensation expense (“EBITDAS”), (iv) adjusted EBITDAS, (v) net debt and (vi) organic sales. These non-GAAP financial measures are indicators of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. They are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to financial information used by us in our financial analysis and operational decision-making. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors, stockholders and other readers of our consolidated financial statements in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, considered separately from, or as an alternative to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

To measure earnings performance on a consistent and comparable basis, we exclude certain items that affect comparability of operating results and the trend of earnings. These adjustments are irregular in timing, may not be indicative of

The following are examples of the types of adjustments that are excluded: (i) amortization of purchased intangible assets, (ii) acquisition-related items, (iii) business optimization and restructuring-related charges, (iv) certain significant and discrete tax matters and (v) other significant items management deems irregular or non-operating in nature.

Amortization expense of purchased intangible assets is a non-cash expense related to intangibles that were primarily the result of business acquisitions. Our history of acquiring businesses has resulted in significant increases in amortization of intangible assets that reduce our net income. The removal of amortization from our overall operating performance helps in assessing our cash generated from operations including our return on invested capital, which we believe is an important analysis for measuring our ability to generate cash and invest in our continued growth.
 
Acquisition-related items consist of (i) fair value adjustments to contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities resulting from acquisitions, (ii) due diligence, integration, legal fees and other transaction costs associated with our acquisition program and (iii) acquisition accounting charges for the amortization of the initial fair value adjustments of acquired inventory and deferred revenue. The adjustments of contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities are periodic adjustments to record such amounts at fair value at each balance sheet date. Given the subjective nature of the assumptions used in the determination of fair value calculations, fair value adjustments may potentially cause significant earnings volatility that are not representative of our operating results. Similarly, due diligence, integration, legal and other acquisition costs associated with our acquisition program, including accounting charges relating to recording acquired inventory and deferred revenue at fair market value, can be significant and also adversely impact our effective tax rate as certain costs are often not tax-deductible. Since these acquisition-related items are irregular and often mask underlying operating performance, we exclude these amounts for purposes of calculating


(dollar amounts in thousands except share and per share data or as otherwise noted) 23


Cantel Medical Corp.                                 2020 First Quarter Form 10-Q

these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and a comparison to past operating performance.

Restructuring-related and business optimization items consist of severance-related costs associated with work force reductions and other restructuring-related activities. Such costs include (i) salary continuation, (ii) bonus payments, (iii) outplacement services, (iv) medical-related premium costs and (v) accelerated stock-compensation costs. Since these restructuring-related and business optimization items often mask underlying operating performance, we exclude these amounts for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and a comparison to past operating performance.
    
Excess tax benefits and expenses resulting from stock compensation are recorded as an adjustment to income tax expense. The magnitude of the impact of excess tax benefits generated in the future, which may be favorable or unfavorable, are dependent upon our future grants of equity awards, our future share price on the date awards vest in relation to the fair value of awards on grant date and the exercise behavior of our stock award holders. Since these tax benefitseffects are largely unrelated to our results and unrepresentative of our normal effective tax rate, we excluded their impact on net income and diluted EPS to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.

We are required under GAAP to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of our convertible debt issued in May 2020. Accordingly, we are required to recognize non-cash interest expense that is associated with the debt discount component recorded in equity. Since the amortization of the debt discount is a non-cash expense, we excluded its impact on net income and diluted EPS to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures as we believe that the exclusion of the non-cash interest expense provides investors an enhanced view of our operational performance related to cash flow and liquidity.

As a result of terminating our interest rate swaps during fiscal 2020, we recorded a loss in other comprehensive income which is required by GAAP to be amortized through interest expense through the original maturity date of the swaps. Since the amortization of the loss is a non-cash expense, we excluded its impact on net income and diluted EPS to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures as we believe that the exclusion of the non-cash interest expense provides investors an enhanced view of our operational performance related to cash flow and liquidity.

Three Months Ended October 31, 2020

During the three months ended October 31, 2018,2020, we recorded specific discrete tax items associated with our international operationscompleted the disposition of a service business in Canada, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $249 through general and administrative expenses. Since we believe that were unrelated to fiscal 2019. As these items were unrepresentativethis gain was not representative of our normal effective tax rate, we excluded their impact on net income and diluted EPS for fiscal 2019 to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.

During the three months ended October 31, 2018, we recorded an adjustment to a litigation matter in our consolidated financial statements. Since these costs are irregular and mask our underlying operating performance,ordinary course past or future operations, we made an adjustment to our net income and diluted EPS for fiscal 2019 to exclude such coststhis gain to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.

Three Months Ended October 31, 2019

We made adjustments to net income and diluted EPS to exclude (i) amortization expense of purchased intangible assets, (ii) acquisition-related items, (iii) business optimization and restructuring-related charges and (iv) excess tax expenses applicable to stock compensation, to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS.

Three Months Ended October 31, 2018

We made adjustments to net income and diluted EPS to exclude (i) amortization expense of purchased intangible assets, (ii) acquisition-related items, (iii) business optimization and restructuring-related charges, (iv) excess tax benefits applicable to stock compensation, (v) tax matters and (vi) litigation matters to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS.

We believe EBITDAS is an important valuation measurement for management and investors given the increasing effect that non-cash charges, such as stock-based compensation, amortization related to acquisitions and depreciation of capital equipment have on net income. In particular, acquisitions have historically resulted in significant increases in amortization of purchased intangible assets that reduce net income. Additionally, we regard EBITDAS as a useful measure of operating performance and cash flow before the effect of interest expense and is a complement to operating income, net income and other GAAP financial performance measures. We define adjusted EBITDAS as EBITDAS excluding the same non-GAAP adjustments to net income discussed above. We use adjusted EBITDAS when evaluating operating performance because we believe the exclusion of such adjustments, of which a significant portion are non-cash items, is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of on-going core operating results and to evaluate comparative results period over period.

We define organic sales as net sales less (i) the impact of foreign currency translation, (ii) net sales related to acquired businesses during the first twelve months of ownership and (iii) divestituresdispositions during the periods being compared. We believe that reporting organic sales provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior periods. We exclude the effect of foreign currency translation from organic sales because foreign currency translation is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and divestituresdispositions because the nature, size, and number of acquisitions and divestituresdispositions can vary dramatically from period to period and can obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of financial performance difficult.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund operating, investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting the management of liquidity are cash flows generated from operating activities, capital expenditures, acquisitions dispositionsof businesses and cash dividends. Cash provided by operating activities continues to be a primary source of funds. As necessary, we supplementhave supplemented our operating cash flow with borrowings from our revolving credit facility and other financing resources, such as convertible debt, to fund our acquisitions and related business activities.

Cash Flows
 
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities decreasedincreased by $23,338$53,076 to $62,007 for the three months ended October 31, 2020 from $8,931 for the three months ended October 31, 2019, from $32,269 for the three months ended October 31, 2018, primarily due to a reduction in acquisition-related payments, the decreasetiming of federal income tax payments, lower cash bonus payments, and a reduction in net income, cash payments associated with acquisition-related and transaction items during the periodinventory levels as a result of the Hu-Friedy acquisition, an increase in restructuring-related paymentshigher sales volumes and an increase inbetter inventory within our Dental and Medical segments. This wasmanagement, partially offset by increased cash collectionsthe timing of the collection of our outstanding accounts receivable.receivables..
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities increaseddecreased by $613,488$664,175 to $5,147 for the three months ended October 31, 2020 from $669,322 for the three months ended October 31, 2019, from $55,834primarily due to the Hu-Friedy acquisition in the prior year, and a decrease in capital expenditures, as we have reduced spending associated with certain capital projects in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to maximize our liquidity and cash position. We continue to monitor our capital expenditure spending to ensure we maintain flexibility during the remainder of fiscal 2021.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities.Net cash used in financing activities increased by $741,708 to $76,557 for the three months ended October 31, 2018, primarily due to the Hu-Friedy acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures.
Net Cash Provided by (used in) Financing Activities.Net2020 from $665,151 of cash provided by financing activities increased by $671,939 to $665,151 for the three months ended October 31, 2019, from $6,788primarily due to repayments of cash used forborrowings of our revolving credit facility in the current year. During the three months ended October 31, 2018, primarily due to2019, we had borrowings from the refinancing of our existing credit agreementapproximately $678,125 to support the Hu-Friedy acquisition, and the debt issuance costs associated with amending our credit agreement.acquisition.

Debt

At October 31, 2019, we had $587,625 of outstanding term loan borrowings and $323,500 of revolver borrowings under the First Amendment to our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

For further information regarding the Amended Credit Agreement, including a description of affirmative and negative covenants, see Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Cantel Medical Corp.                                 20202021 First Quarter Form 10-Q
Second Amendment to Credit Agreement

At October 31, 2020, we had $546,375 of outstanding term loan borrowings and $324,000 of revolver borrowings under the First Amendment to our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

On May 11, 2020, we entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) further amending the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Second Amendment’s principal changes include (i) increasing the maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2020 to 5.25x, (ii) suspending such financial maintenance covenant until October 31, 2021, (iii) maintaining a minimum liquidity (as defined in the credit agreement) of at least $50,000 during the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2020 and $75,000 during each of the following fiscal quarters ending with the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2021, (iv) requiring us to maintain minimum consolidated EBITDA for each period of four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the fiscal quarters ending July 31, 2020 through July 31, 2021 and (v) limiting our ability to pay dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock during the period the consolidated leverage ratio and consolidated interest coverage ratio are suspended.

The interest rates have been amended so that loans under the Amended Credit Agreement, until the third business day following the date on which a compliance certificate is delivered for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2021, bear interest at 2.00% above the base rate for base rate borrowings, or at 3.00% above LIBOR for LIBOR-based borrowings, and also provides for fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility at a rate of 0.50%. Thereafter, (i) borrowings bear interest at rates ranging from 0.00% to 1.75% above base rate for base rate borrowings, or at rates ranging from 1.00% to 2.75% above LIBOR for LIBOR-based borrowings, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio, which is the consolidated ratio of total funded debt (minus certain unrestricted cash) to consolidated EBITDA. The Amended Credit Agreement also provides for fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility at rates ranging from 0.20% to 0.50%, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. Interest rates have also been amended to include a 1.00% floor on all borrowings.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants reasonably customary for similar credit facilities and is secured by (i) substantially all assets of Cantel and its U.S.-based subsidiaries, (ii) a pledge by Cantel and its U.S.-based subsidiaries that guarantees the obligations under the Credit agreement of all of the outstanding shares of its U.S.-based subsidiaries and 65% of the outstanding shares of certain of Cantel’s foreign-based subsidiaries and (iii) a guaranty by Cantel’s domestic subsidiaries.
Interest Rate Swaps

In order to hedge against the impact of fluctuations in the interest rate associated with our variable rate borrowings, duringin fiscal 2019, we entered into two interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $150,000, expiring on June 28, 2023. The swaps fixed interest rates at 2.45%2.265%. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, we terminated our existing interest rate swaps and entered into a new interest rate swap with a notional value of $500,000, which fixed interest rates at 1.297% and expires on September 6, 2024. Upon terminating the existing interest rate swap agreements, we determined that the interest payments hedged with the credit agreement are still probable to occur, therefore the loss that accumulated on the swaps prior to the termination of $8,534 will be amortized to interest expense through June 28, 2023, the original maturity dates of the swaps. Additionally, as the cost of unwinding the liability associated with the terminated swaps was included in our new swap rate, the new swap instrument has been bifurcated into a financing component and a derivative component on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On May 13, 2020, in connection with the Second Amendment to the 2018 Credit Agreement, we amended our $500,000 interest rate swap to modify the LIBOR floor from 0.00% to 1.00%. The amended terms of the interest rate swap reflect the 1.00% LIBOR floor included in the Amended Credit Agreement. The amendment results in continued hedge accounting treatment as the changes in fair value will be recorded in other comprehensive income. The fair value of thesethe amended interest rate swapsswap is subject to movements in LIBOR and will fluctuate in future periods.

Convertible Senior Notes Offering

On May 15, 2020, we issued $168,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) in a private placement, including pursuant to the grant to the initial purchasers of $140,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes, an option to purchase up to an additional $28,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes. The private placement offering closed on May 15, 2020. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $162,977 (including net proceeds relating to the issuance of the additional Notes), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and before the cost of offering expenses. The initial conversion price will be approximately $41.51 per share of common stock and will be subject to adjustment if certain events occur. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which

(dollar amounts in thousands except share and per share data or as otherwise noted) 28


Cantel Medical Corp.                                 2021 First Quarter Form 10-Q
includes applying at least 50% of the amount by which the net proceeds exceed $100,000 to the repayment of debt under our credit facilities as required by the Second Amended Credit Agreement.

We expect our annual cash interest to increase by approximately $5,460 as a result of issuance of the Notes. In addition, diluted earnings per share may be negatively impacted by the Notes because of the dilutive nature of the potential conversion into shares of common stock.

Financing Needs
 
At October 31, 2019,2020, our long-termtotal debt (excluding debt issuance costs)costs and unamortized discount) of $911,125,$1,038,375, net of our cash and cash equivalents of $49,285,$258,021, was $861,840.$780,354. Stockholders’ equity as of that date was $732,191.

$758,381. Our operating segments generate significant cash from operations. At October 31, 2019,2020, we had a cash balance of $49,285,$258,021, of which $32,284$71,394 was held by foreign subsidiaries. Our foreign cash is needed by our foreign subsidiaries for working capital purposes as well as for current international growth initiatives. Accordingly, our foreign unremitted earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested and unavailable for repatriation.
We believe that our current cash position, including the proceeds we received as part of the Notes offering in May 2020, and our anticipated cash flows from operations andin the funds available under our Amended Credit Agreementupcoming quarters as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic will be sufficient to satisfy our worldwide cash operating requirements for the foreseeable future based upon our existing operations, particularly given that we historically have not needed to borrow for working capital purposes. In November 2020, we repaid an additional $50,000 of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. At December 10, 2019,2020, approximately $80,729$125,551 was available under our Amended Credit Agreement.
