The interim financial information is unaudited, and reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. We have made certain reclassifications to the prior period to conform to current period presentation. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Operating results for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Impact of COVID-19 on Our Financial Statements
The global spread and unprecedented impact of COVID-19 is complex and rapidly-evolving. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended extensive containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The outbreak has reached all ofSince that time, we established what we believe are the regionsnecessary protocols to operate safely in our manufacturing facilities, virtually engage with customers and suppliers and work remotely when possible. Our businesses continue to recover as sales in our Neuro and Newborn Care business have returned to pre-pandemic levels. Sales for our Hearing & Balance business, which we do business, and governmental authorities around the worldare more concentrated in Europe have implemented numerous measures attempting to contain and mitigate the effects of the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, border closings, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, shutdowns, limitations or closures of non-essential businesses, school closures, and social distancing requirements. The global spread of COVID-19 and actions taken in response to the virus have negatively affected workforces, customers, consumer confidence, financial markets, employment rates, consumer spending, credit markets and housing demand, caused significant economic and business disruption, volatility and financial uncertainty, and led to a significant economic downturn, including in the markets where we operate.partially recovered, but remain below pre-pandemic levels.
Various government programs have been established to provide financial relief for businesses affected by COVID-19 including the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") and Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy ("CERS") under the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan in Canada. We received $2.9 million for payroll subsidies under CEWS during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Our policy is to account for these subsidies in the same manner as an offset to the expense they relate to in the period in which we are reasonably assured to receive payment. For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 we recognized reductions of $0.4 million in cost of sales, $1.3 million in marketing and selling expense, and $1.2 million in research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for these subsidies. No payroll subsidies were received or recognized under CEWS in prior periods. As of March 31,June 30, 2021 we have collected all amounts recorded and continue to seek additional relief as applicable.
We have assessed various accounting estimates and other matters, including those that require consideration of forecasted financial information, in context of the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 using information that is reasonably available to us at this time. The accounting estimates and other matters we assessed include, but were not limited to, our allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory and warranty reserves, stock-based compensation, goodwill and other long-lived assets, financial assets, valuation allowances for tax assets and revenue recognition. While based on our current assessment of these estimates there was not a material impact to our consolidated

2 - Revenue
    Unbilled accounts receivable (“AR”) for the periods presented primarily represent the difference between revenue recognized based on the relative selling price of the related performance obligations and the contractual billing terms in the arrangements. Deferred revenue for the periods presented primarily relates to extended service contracts, installation, and training, for which the service fees are billed in advance. The associated deferred revenue is generally recognized ratably over the extended service period or when installation and training are complete.
The following table summarizes the changes in the unbilled AR and deferred revenue balances for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 (in thousands):

4 - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

-9-

Table of Contents

We estimate the lifetime allowance for doubtful, potentially uncollectible, accounts receivable upon their inception based on historical collection experience within the markets in which we operate, customer-specific information such as bankruptcy filings or customer liquidity problems, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future.
Our allowance for doubtful accounts is presented as a reduction to accounts receivable on our consolidated balance sheet. When all internal efforts have been exhausted to collect the receivable, it is written off and relieved from the reserve.

9 - Reserve for Product Warranties
We provide a warranty for products that is generally one year in length. In some cases, regulations may require us to provide repair or remediation beyond the typical warranty period. If any of the products contain defects, we may incur additional repair and remediation costs. Service, repair and calibration services are provided by a combination of our owned facilities and vendors on a contract basis.
We accrue estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale based on historical experience. A warranty reserve is included in accrued liabilities for the expected future costs of servicing products. Additions to the reserve are based on management’s best estimate of probable liability. We consider a combination of factors including material and labor costs, regulatory requirements, and other judgments in determining the amount of the reserve. The reserve is reduced as costs are incurred to honor existing warranty and regulatory obligations.

Table of Contents
As of March 31,June 30, 2021, we have accrued $4.8 million for product related warranties. Our estimate of these costs is primarily based upon the number of units outstanding that may require repair and costs associated with shipping.

Table of Contents
12 - Income Taxes
Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete events arising in each respective quarter. During each interim period, we update the estimated annual effective tax rate which is subject to significant volatility due to several factors, including our ability to accurately predict the income (loss) before provision for income taxes in multiple jurisdictions, the effects of acquisitions, the integration of those acquisitions, and changes in tax law. In circumstances where we are unable to predict income (loss) in multiple jurisdictions, the actual year to date effective tax rate may be the best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for purposes of determining the interim provision for income tax.
We recorded income tax expense of $0.5$1.9 million and income tax benefit of $1.1$2.4 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate was 35.4% and March 31,28.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. We recorded a benefit from income tax of $3.9 million and $5.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The effective tax rate was 16.4%30.4% and 23.9%28.6% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31,June 30, 2020, respectively. The decreaseincrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 compared with the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, is primarily attributable to changes in mixdistribution of income among jurisdictions with varying tax rates and discrete items.recording of additional reserves for uncertain tax positions related to a proposed audit assessment received in Denmark. Other significant factors impacting the current period effective tax rate included Federal and California research and development credits, and non-deductible executive compensation expenses.expenses, and other discrete events.
We recorded no changesone change related to unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2021.June 30, 2021 related to a proposed audit assessment received in Denmark. Within the next twelve months, it is possible that the uncertain tax positions may change with a range of approximately 0 to $0.2 million. Our tax returns remain open to examination as follows: U.S Federal, 2017 through 2020, U.S. states, 2016 through 2020, and significant foreign jurisdictions, generally 2016 through 2020.

13 - Debt and Credit Arrangements
    We have a Credit Agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank ("JP Morgan"), Citibank, NA (“Citibank”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). During the third quarter of 2020 we amended the terms of the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of the original agreement, reduce the aggregate value of the revolving facility, and amend certain covenants. The amended Credit Agreement provides for an aggregate $150.0 million of secured revolving credit facility. The Credit Agreement contains covenants, including covenants relating to maintenance of books and records, financial reporting and notification, compliance with laws, maintenance of properties and insurance, and limitations on guaranties, investments, issuance of debt, lease obligations and capital expenditures, and is secured by virtually all of our assets. The Credit Agreement provides for events of default, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to perform or observe covenants, bankruptcy or insolvency events and the occurrence of the event has a material adverse effect. We have no other significant credit facilities. As of June 30, 2021, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
    In addition to the customary restrictive covenants listed above, the Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a certain leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio, each as defined in the Credit Agreement:
Leverage Ratio, as defined, to be no higher than 3.25 to 1.00.
Interest Coverage Ratio, as defined, to be at least 1.75 to 1.00 at all times.
    At March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with the Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio covenants as defined in the Credit Agreement.
    During the first quarter of 2020 we drew an additional $60.0 million on our credit line as a precaution to ensure we have the necessary capital to continue to reliably serve our customers during an extended period of uncertainty of which $43.0 million was repaid by December 31, 2020. During the first quarter of 2021, we repaid $20.0 million of our outstanding debt and at March 31, 2021, we had $37.0 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
    Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the outstanding principal balance will bear interest at either (a) a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, depending on our leverage ratio plus the higher of (i) the federal funds rate plus one-half of one percent per annum; (ii) the prime rate in effect on such a day; and (iii) the LIBOR rate plus one percent, or (b) a fluctuating rate per annum of LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Rate, which ranges between 2.25% to 3.50%. The effective interest rate during the three

14 - Financial Instruments and Derivatives
    We use interest rate swap derivative instrumentsderivative. Since there are no amounts outstanding under our Credit Agreement and the termination date of the hedge is less than one quarter away with no current plans to reduce earnings volatility and manage cash flow exposure resulting from changes in interest rates. These interest rate swaps apply a fixed interest rate on a portion of our expected LIBOR-indexed floating-rate borrowings. We helddraw, we have concluded that the following interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2021 (in thousands):

hedge relationship. Upon the discontinuation of the hedge relationship, we have reclassified the unrealized gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of tax. Once the hedged item affects earnings, the effective portion of any gain or loss will be reclassified to earnings. If the hedged cash flow does not occur, or if it becomes probable that it will not occur, we will reclassify the amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge to interest expense at that time.
    As of March 31, 2021, we estimate that approximately $142.0 thousand of losses associated with the cash flow hedge, net of tax, could be reclassified from AOCI into earnings within the next twelve months.

1615 - Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exit price associated with the sale of an asset

Table of Contents
or transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes the following three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
The derivative financial instruments described in Note 14 are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are presented on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. We estimate the fair value of the interest rate swaps by calculating the present value of the expected future cash flows of each swap. The calculation incorporates the contractual terms of the derivatives, observable market interest rates which are considered to be Level 2 inputs, and credit risk adjustments, if any, to reflect the counterpart's as well as our nonperformance risk. As of March 31, 2021, there have been no events of default under the interest rate swap agreement. The table below presents the fair value of the derivative financial instruments as well as the classification on the consolidated balance sheet (in thousands):

The following financial instruments are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 but require disclosure of their fair values: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates fair values because of their relatively short maturity.

2021 FirstSecond Quarter Overview
Our business and operating results are driven in part by worldwide economic conditions. Our revenue is significantly dependent on both capital spending by hospitals in the United States and healthcare spending by ministries of health outside the United States.
We experienced an increase in demand particularly in the United States, Asia Pacific and Europe, during the firstsecond quarter compared to the same period in the prior year as recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Our consolidated revenue for the firstsecond quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2021 was $114.9$116.0 million compared to $109.4$84.8 million in the firstsecond quarter of the previous year, an increase of $5.5$31.2 million.

Our net income was $2.4$3.5 million or $0.07$0.10 per diluted share in the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, compared with net loss of $3.6$8.9 million or $0.11$0.26 per share in the same period in 2020. The increase in net income was the result of higher revenue due to the recovery from impact of COVID-19, in particular in international markets for Neuro products, partly offset by higher expenses due to increase in commissions and lower expensestravel compared to the priorsame period last year driven by the timingas sales activity increased and impact of engineering project spend and the benefitrequired paid time-off in 2020 not repeating in 2021.

COVID-19 Update
Healthcare providers and patients continue to depend on our products and services every day. Our team members and partners are continuing to maintain our supply chain, manufacturing and delivery of our products and services. The health and welfare of our employees, our customers and our partners remain our top priority as we continue our business operations.
We have implemented safeguards in our facilities to protect team members, including social distancing practices, work from home and other measures consistent with specific regulatory requirements and guidance from health authorities. As an essential supplier of healthcare products and services, all of our manufacturing, engineering and customer support functions remain fully operational and will continue to support customers with vital supplies, service and equipment. We have taken actions to reduce costs, including reducing travel and discretionary expenses. We will continue to prioritize spending to allow continued investment in products and services that are key elements of our stated strategy for profitable growth in the years ahead.
Impact to our supply chain
Many of our materials are single source and require lengthy qualification periods. Disruptions in our supply chain could negatively impact our ability to produce and supply our finished products. We have made strategic investments in inventory to help mitigate potential supply chain disruptions. These investments include increased inventory and firm purchase orders beyond our typical timeframe in order to secure capacity at our key suppliers. To date, we have experienced some extended lead times and delays in receiving supplies and finished goods. However, we have not incurred any significantyet experienced supply disruptions and we believethat are material enough to change our suppliersrevenue expectations. We are positioned well to provide us with the materials we need to meet our demand. Supply appears to be stable, which could allow for the reduction of inventory levels in future quarters. The health and safety of our suppliers is also a priority for us and we have transitioned collaborationworking closely with our suppliers to online technology so thatmanage orders and proactively minimize delays in the materials we can continuerequire to meet our business operations.demand.
Liquidity
In the first quarter of 2020 we drew $60.0 million on our credit line as a precaution to ensure we have the necessary capital to continue to reliably serve our customers during an extended period of uncertainty of which $43.0 million was repaid by December 31, 2020. During the third quarter of 2020 we amended our Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date of the original agreement from September 23, 2021 to September 25, 2023, reduced the aggregate revolving credit facility from $225.0 million to $150.0 million, and amended certain covenants. During the three months ended Mach 31, 2021, we repaid $20.0the full outstanding debt balance of $57.0 million in debt, reducing the amount outstanding under theour Credit Agreement to $37.0 million, and continued to maintain a strong cash position ending the period with $80.5$62.5 million in cash.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, some hospitals and clinics delayed payments for products and services and we have worked with our customers to arrange mutually acceptable payment terms during this uncertain time. We have seen revenues and margins improve since the onset of the pandemic. We continue to see our customers adapting to the COVID environment, which we believe will result in increased capital spending and continue to improve our business in 2021. As of the date of this filing, uncertainty continues to exist concerning the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of variant strains of the virus, such as the Delta variant.
While we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to operate the Company for the foreseeable future should negative economic conditions persist for an extended period of time, we are evaluating additional measures we could take to further enhance our liquidity position.

Government Grants
Various government programs have been announced to provide financial relief for businesses affected by COVID-19 including the CEWS under the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan in Canada. We received $2.9 million for payroll subsidies under CEWS during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Our policy is to account for these subsidies in the same manner as an offset to the expense they relate to in the period in which we are reasonably assured to receive payment. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 we recognized reductions of $0.4 million of cost of sales, $1.3 million of marketing and selling expense, and $1.2 million of research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for these subsidies. No payroll subsidies were received or recognized under CEWS in prior periods. As of March 31,June 30, 2021 we have collected all amounts recorded and continue to seek additional relief as applicable.

Impact to fair-value of intangible assets
We have reviewed the assets on our balance sheet, particularly goodwill and significant intangible assets for indications of impairment related to COVID-19 and determined that there are no indicators of impairment at this time. The values of these assets are particularly sensitive to our market cap and the long-term value of their cash flows. If these conditions change significantly, we may need to record an impairment to their value. However, any impairment charges would not require the use of cash and are excluded from the calculation of our debt covenants and, therefore, would not affect our ability to borrow under our existing credit line.
Impact to our financial systems and internal controls
To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact to our ability to operate our accounting and financial functions. We are staffed with approximately 150 dedicated finance, accounting and IT professionals. Our accounting and IT systems are maintained with third party support agreements and we have documented disaster recovery plans in place. Our finance, accounting and IT professionals are performing their normal functions while working from home with little to no physical presence and with no changes to our internal controls. We are confident that we can operate in this manner for an extended period of time without disruption and without significant impact to our internal controls.
Travel restrictions and use of online technology
The global Natus team is geographically diverse with multiple small locations and hundreds of employees that typically work from home in normal circumstances. We use the latest collaboration technology and have been able to transition to a company-wide work from home model without major interruption. Our manufacturing, distribution and field service operations require physical presence of certain employees as their work requires them to handle our products. In these cases, we have made adjustments to shift size and schedule and limited access to these groups by non-related employees. Our field service technicians are following our customers' requirements for distancing practices but continue to provide service where needed.
Travel restrictions have forced most customer and external partner collaboration to online technology. Using this technology has enabled us to continue operations without incident. However, in-person customer engagement as well as physical presence in laboratory settings is required forreturning and becoming more frequent over the long-term successcourse of our company and eventually, we will need to return to traditional forms of interaction.2021.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In so doing, we must often make estimates and use assumptions that can be subjective, and, consequently, our actual results could differ from those estimates. For any given individual estimate or assumption we make, there may also be other estimates or assumptions that are reasonable.
We believe that the following critical accounting policies require the use of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments:
Revenue recognition
Inventory valuation

Table of Contents
Income Taxes
The use of different estimates, assumptions, or judgments could have a material effect on the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures as of the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. These critical accounting policies are described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, under Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

In circumstances where we are unable to predict income (loss) in multiple jurisdictions, the actual year to date effective tax rate may be the best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for purposes of determining the interim provision for income tax.

As of March 31,June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents outside the U.S. in certain of our international subsidiaries of $50.2$40.7 million, primarily in Canada and Ireland. We intend to permanently reinvest the cash held by our international subsidiaries except for Excel Tech Corporation and Natus Manufacturing Limited, which we intend to repatriate. A net deferred tax liability has been recorded for the potential future repatriation. If, however, a portion of permanently reinvested funds were needed for and distributed to our operations in the United States, we would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes depending on facts and circumstances at the time of distribution. The amount of taxes due would depend on the amount and manner of repatriation, as well as the country from which the funds were repatriated.
We have a Credit Agreement with JP Morgan, Citibank, and Wells Fargo. During the third quarter of 2020 we amended the terms of the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity of the original agreement, reduce the aggregate value of the revolving credit facility, and amend certain covenants. The amended Credit Agreement provides for an aggregate $150.0 million of secured revolving credit facility. The Credit Agreement contains covenants, including covenants relating to maintenance of books and records, financial reporting and notification, compliance with laws,

The Credit Agreement matures on September 25, 2023, at which time all principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement will be due and payable. We have no other significant credit facilities. During the first quarter of 2020 we drew an additional $60.0 million on our credit line as a precaution to ensure we have the necessary capital to continue to reliably serve our customers during an extended period of uncertainty.

Purchase obligations are defined as agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding. Included in the purchase obligations category above are obligations related to purchase orders for inventory purchases under our standard terms and conditions and under negotiated agreements with vendors. We expect to receive consideration (products or services) for these purchase obligations. The purchase obligation amounts do not represent all anticipated purchases in the future but represent only those items for which we are contractually obligated. The table above does not include obligations under employment agreements for services rendered in the ordinary course of business.
Our Credit Agreement with JP Morgan, Citibank, and Wells Fargo matures in 2023. We have recorded this obligation in the payments due in one to three years category in the table above based on the maturity date of the Agreement. As of March 31, 2021, we have classified the full outstanding debt balance of $37.0 million as short-term on our balance sheet due to our intent to repay this portion over the next twelve months.
The interest payments noted above are an estimate of expected interest payments but could vary materially based on the timing of future loan draws and payments. See Note 13 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on our debt and credit arrangements.
We are not able to reasonably estimate the timing of any potential payments for uncertain tax positions under ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement 109. As a result, the preceding table excludes any potential future payments related to our ASC 740 liability for uncertain tax positions. See Note 18 in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for further discussion on income taxes and repatriation tax.

    We are exposed to interest rate risk on our LIBOR-indexed floating-rate debt. We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively covert a portion of our floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate. The principal objective of the swap contract is to reduce the variability of future earnings and cash flows associated with our floating-rate debt. Please refer to Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ended December 31, 2020 for a more complete discussion on the market risks we encounter.


ITEM 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, “disclosure controls and procedures” are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud due to inherent limitations of internal controls. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31,June 30, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
