NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note A — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business

 

Hanger, Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is a leading national provider of products and services that assist in enhancing or restoring the physical capabilities of patients with disabilities or injuries. We provide orthotic and prosthetic (“O&P”) services, distribute O&P devices and components, manage O&P networks, and provide therapeutic solutions to patients and businesses in acute, post-acute, and clinic settings. We operate through two segments:segments, Patient Care and Products & Services.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and, therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 (the “2018“2019 Form 10-K”), as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”(the “SEC”).

 

In our opinion, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year.

 

A detailed description of our significant accounting policies and management judgments is contained in our 20182019 Form 10-K.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

LeasesRecent Developments Regarding COVID-19

 

We leaseare subject to risks and uncertainties as a majorityresult of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic (“COVID-19 pandemic”). The extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial condition are highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the response to the pandemic is in its developing stages and information is rapidly evolving. We believe that our patients are deferring visits to our O&P clinics as well as elective surgical procedures, both of which impact our business volumes through decreased patient encounters and physician referrals. Furthermore, capital markets and the economy have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause a recessionary environment impacting the healthcare and O&P industry. The resulting economic disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, as the duration and extent of state and local government restrictions impacting our patient's ability or willingness to visit our O&P clinics and those of our patient care clinicscustomers, is unknown. The United States government has responded with fiscal policy measures intended to support the healthcare industry and warehouses under lease arrangements, certain of which contain renewal options, rent escalation clauses, and/or landlord incentives.  Rent expense for noncancellable leases with scheduled rent increases and/or landlord incentives is recognized oneconomy as a straight-line basis overwhole, including the lease term, including any applicable rent holidays, beginning on the lease commencement date.  We exclude leases with a term of one year or less from our balance sheet, and do not separate non-lease components from our real estate leases.  Our leases may include variable payments for maintenance, which are expensed as incurred.

In addition, we are the lessor of therapeutic program equipment to patients and businesses in acute, post-acute, and clinic settings.  The therapeutic program equipment and related services revenue are recognized over the applicable term the customer has the right to use the equipment and as the services are provided.  These operating lease agreements are typically for twelve months and have a 30-day cancellation policy.  We do not separate non-lease components, consisting primarily of training, for these leases.

Effect of Adoption of ASC 842

We adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), and related clarifying standards, as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach.  This approach allows us to apply the standard aspassage of the adoption dateCoronavirus Aid, Relief and record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at January 1, 2019.  The new lease standard requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases, defined as leases with a term of 12 months or less) at the lease commencement date and recognize expenses on the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis.

In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients available under the transitionin March 2020. We are currently evaluating provisions of the new lease standard, including (i) not reassessingCARES Act and other governmental policies and their impact on our business; however, the magnitude and overall effectiveness to us and the economy as a whole remains uncertain.

During each financial reporting period, in accordance with ASU 2014-15,Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), we perform an assessment of whether expired or existing contracts contain leases, (ii) carrying forward lease classificationconditions exist that could raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Commensurate with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we developed projections to evaluate the possible adverse impact that decreases in business volumes caused by the pandemic could have on our financial condition. Those projections, when combined with additional borrowings under legacy guidance,our revolving credit facility, indicated that the Company could become non-compliant with the net leverage ratio financial covenant of its Credit Agreement as early as the second quarter of 2020. In connection with those projections, the Company implemented a number of cost mitigation and (iii) not revaluing initial direct costsliquidity management strategies in late March and early April 2020, primarily related to personnel cost reductions and delay of certain capital projects. In addition, in May 2020 the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement that increased its allowable maximum net leverage ratio covenant for existing leases.  By electing the modified retrospective approach on adoption date, prior period results will continue to be presented under legacy guidance based on the accounting standards originally in effect for such period.  We have elected to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheetCredit Agreement. This amendment is further discussed in Note L - “Debt and recognize those lease payments inOther Obligations.”

Accordingly, we have performed our evaluation under ASU 2014-15 and concluded that the consolidated statementssubstantial doubt raised by the forecasted impacts of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  WeCOVID-19 pandemic have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and have elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single combined lease component for real estate and therapeutic program equipment, from both a lessee and lessor perspective.  From a lessor perspective, the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease components and associated lease component and, the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.  The accounting for our finance leases and leases where we are the lessor remained substantially unchanged.been alleviated.

 

The lease liability was measured asextent and the present valueseverity of the unpaid lease paymentsimpact on the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the right-of-use asset was derived from the calculationduration of the lease liability.  As the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable forstate and local government restrictions impacting our operating leases, the discount rates usedpatient's ability or willingness to determine the present valuevisit our clinics and those of our lease liabilitydistribution services business customers, all of which are based on our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement dateuncertain and commensurate with the remaining lease term.cannot be reasonably predicted. Our incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.  Our lease term may include options to extend or terminate if the exercise of that option is reasonably certain to occur.  We rent or sublease certain real estate to third parties.  Our sublease portfolio consists mainly of operating leases on small medical office locations.

The most significant impact of the new lease standard will be on the balance sheet, where values have been added for real estate operating leases, which increases both assets and liabilities.  The capital leases associated with equipment were already reflected on our balance sheet and did not add any incremental assets or liabilities under the new lease standard.  The adoption of the new lease standard did not have an impact on our compliance with existing debt covenants because the impact of changes in accounting standards is excluded from debt covenant calculations.  The impact of applying the new lease standard to ourfuture results of operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by delays in patient and customer payments, uncertain demand in the form of patient appointments and physician referrals, and the impact of any initiatives or programs that we may undertake to address the financial and operational challenges faced by our patients and customers. While the Company cannot forecast with certainty the ultimate extent of the impacts from or the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, or the degree to which the cost mitigation and liquidity management strategies it has implemented will offset declines in its cash flows is not significant.caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we currently believe that these measures, when accompanied if necessary by additional funding sources, if available, and further cost reduction actions, will enable us to maintain sufficient liquidity for at least the twelve month period following the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Additionally, we have determined that the leases previously identified as build-to-suit leasing arrangements under legacy lease accounting were to be derecognized pursuant to the transition guidance provided for build-to-suit leases in ASC 842.  Accordingly, these leases have been reassessed as operating leases as of January 1, 2019.  The legacy guidance was based on a risks and rewards model which contained several prescriptive provisions designed to assess lessee ownership during construction.  The ASC 842 model has eliminated these prescriptive rules and replaced them with a model based on control.  Under ASC 842, we did not demonstrate control as the lessee and therefore the leases were derecognized at January 1, 2019.  The resulting cumulative effect recognized at adoption to accumulated deficit was $1.6 million, net of tax.

Upon adoption of ASC 842, the cumulative effect of the changes made to our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 was as follows:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”(the “FASB”) issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13,Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and related clarifying standards, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP 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. This ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.  We are currently evaluating the effects that theThe adoption of this guidance will havestandard on our consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.January 1, 2020 resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit of $0.2 million.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which modifies the disclosures on fair value measurements by removing the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of such transfers. The ASU expands the disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements, primarily focused on changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. TheThere was no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows due to the adoption on January 1, 2020.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. Among other provisions, this ASU removes the exception that limited the income tax benefit recognized in the interim period in cases when the year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. Adoption of this standard is effective beginning January 1, 2021, but as early adoption is permitted, we have selected to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04,Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for public entities for fiscal years beginningapplying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. We are currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715).  This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit and other postretirement plans.  This ASU eliminates certain disclosures associated with accumulated other comprehensive income, plan assets, related parties, and the effects of interest rate basis point changes on assumed health care costs; while other disclosures have been added to address significant gains and losses related to changes in benefit obligations.  This ASU also clarifies disclosure requirements for projected benefit and accumulated benefit obligations.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for public entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and for interim periods therein with early adoption permitted.  We are currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

Revenue in our Patient Care segment is primarily derived from contracts with third party payors for the provision of O&P devices and is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products or services to the patient at the time the patient receives the device. At, or subsequent to delivery, we issue an invoice to the third party payor, which primarily consists of commercial insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (the “VA”), and private or patient pay (“Private Pay”) individuals. We recognize revenue for the amounts we expect to receive from payors based on expected contractual reimbursement rates, which are net of estimated contractual discounts and implicit price concessions. These revenue amounts are further revised as claims are adjudicated, which may result in additional disallowances.

Note D — Accounts Receivable, Net

 

Accounts receivable, net represents outstanding amounts we expect to collect from the transfer of our products and services. Principally, these amounts are comprised of receivables from Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance plans. Our accounts receivable represent amounts outstanding from our gross billings,charges, net of contractual discounts, sales returns, and other implicit price concessions including estimates for payor disallowances sales returns, and patient non-payments.

 

AnWe are exposed to credit losses primarily through our trade receivables. These trade receivables are short in nature because their due date varies between due upon receipt of invoice and 90 days. We assess our trade receivable, divide them into similar risk pools, and monitor our ongoing credit exposure through active review of our aging buckets. Our activities include timely account reconciliations, dispute resolution, and payment confirmations. We also employ collection agencies and legal counsel to pursue recovery of defaulted receivables.

9

As part of the new accounting standard discussed in Note A - “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” the Company's expected loss methodology is developed using historical liquidation rates, current and future economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of our patients and customers' trade accounts receivable balances. We also grouped our trade receivables into similar risk pools to better measure the risks for each pool. After evaluating the risk for each pool, we determined that additional credit loss risk was immaterial for the Patient Care segment. For the Products & Services segment, an allowance for doubtful accounts is also recorded for our Products & Services segment which is deducted from gross accounts receivable to arrive at “Accounts receivable, net.” As of March 31, 2020, we have considered the current and future economic and market conditions, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in an increase to the allowance for doubtful accounts by approximately $2.0 million since December 31, 2019.

Accounts receivable, net as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20182019 is comprised of the following:

Note G — Acquisitions

We did not complete any acquisitions during the first quarter of 2020.

 

2019 Acquisition Activity

 

During 2019, we completed the following acquisitions of O&P clinics, none of which were individually material to our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Each acquisition is intended to expand the geographic footprint of our continuum of patient care offerings through the acquisitions of high quality O&P providers in new geographic markets.providers.

 

·

In Januarythe first quarter of 2019, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding equity interests of an O&P business for total consideration of $32.8 million, of which $27.7 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, $4.4 million was issued in the form of notes to shareholders at fair value, and $0.7 million is estimatedwas additional consideration expected to be paid inconsideration.

In the thirdsecond quarter of 2019.

·                  In May 2019, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding equity interests of an O&P business for total consideration of $0.5 million, of which $0.2 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, and $0.3 million was issued in the form of notes to shareholders at fair value.

In the third quarter of 2019, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding equity interests of one O&P business and acquired the assets of another O&P business for total consideration of $3.3 million, of which $3.0 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, and $0.3 million was issued in the form of notes to shareholders at fair value.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding equity interests of one O&P business and acquired the assets of another O&P business for total consideration of $7.8 million, of which $5.0 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, and $2.8 million was issued in the form of notes to shareholders at fair value.

 

The notes issued to shareholders are unsecured and payable in installments over a period of 3 to 5 years.

We accounted for these transactions under the acquisition method of accounting and have reported the results of operations of each acquisition as of the respective dates of the acquisitions.  The estimated fair values of intangible assets were based on an income approach utilizing primarily discounted cash flow techniques for non-compete agreements and an income approach utilizing the excess earnings method for customer relationships.  The income approach utilizes management’s estimates of future operating results and cash flows using a weighted average cost of capital that reflects market participant assumptions.  Other significant judgments used in the valuation of tangible assets acquired in the acquisition include estimated selling price of inventory and estimated replacement costs for acquired property, plant and equipment.  For all other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the fair value reflects the carrying value of the asset or liability due to their short maturity.  The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred in the acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.  The goodwill reflects our expectations of favorable future growth opportunities, anticipated synergies through the scale of our O&P operations, and the assembled workforce.  We expect that substantially all of the goodwill, which has been assigned to our Patient Care reporting unit, will be deductible for federal income tax purposes.

 

Acquisition-related costs

11

Table of $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 related to the acquisition are included in General and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of operations.Contents

We have not presented pro forma combined results for these acquisitions because the impact on previously reported statements of operations would not have been material.

Purchase Price Allocation

We have performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions.  The final purchase price allocations will be determined when we have completed and fully reviewed the detailed valuations and could differ materially from the preliminary allocations.  The final allocations may include changes in allocations of acquired intangible assets as well as goodwill and other changes to assets and liabilities including deferred taxes.  The estimated useful lives of acquired intangible assets are also preliminary.

The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was allocated on a preliminary basis as follows (in thousands):

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases recognized in connection with acquisitions completed for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $5.2 million.

Note H — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

We assess goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually onas of October 1st, and between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. As a result of our 2019 goodwill impairment test, we concluded that our Patient Care reporting unit fair value was substantially in excess of its carrying value. On a quarterly or as-needed basis, we are required to assess whether a triggering event has occurred requiring an interim test of goodwill impairment. The Company considered current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Patient Care reporting unit. Factors included in the Company's interim assessment included the current and historical market capitalization, current forecasts, and the amount of headroom in the previous tests of goodwill impairment. As a result of our interim assessment, management concluded that a triggering event has not occurred.

 

The following table summarizes the activity in goodwill for the periods indicated:

Note K — Income Taxes

 

We recorded a provision for income taxes of $4.4 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.  The effective tax rate was 30.5% and 18.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.  We recorded a benefit for income taxes of $0.1$1.9 million and $6.3$3.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate was (0.7)%10.5% and 39.4%35.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

The increasedecrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 is primarily attributable to a lower estimated pre-tax income impacted more proportionally by nondeductible permanent items for the changethree months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the annualized effective tax rate method from the discrete method used during the prior period, as well as an increased estimated annual pre-tax book income, andincrease in the windfall from stock-based compensation during the period.share-based compensation. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses and the windfall from stock-based compensation during the period.expenses.

 

The decreaseCARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act includes various income tax provisions that affect the Company, for which we have recorded $5.4 million to deferred taxes in the effective tax rate forcurrent quarter. We continue to examine other aspects of the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2018 is primarily attributableCARES Act to an increased estimated annual income, an increase in pre-tax book income for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and the windfall from stock-based compensation during the period.  Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the windfall and shortfall from stock based compensation expense in the respective periods, as well as non-deductible expenses.

Refinancing of Credit Agreement and Term B Borrowings

 

On March 6, 2018, we entered into a $605.0 million Senior Credit Facility (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $100.0 million that matures in March 2023 and (ii) a $505.0 million Term Loan B facility due in quarterly principal installments commencing June 29, 2018, with all remaining outstanding principal due at maturity in March 2025. Availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit, which were approximately $5.2 million as of June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. We may (a) increase the aggregate principal amount of any outstanding tranche of term loans or add one or more additional tranches of term loans under the loan documents, and/or (b) increase the aggregate principal amount of revolving commitments or add one or more additional revolving loan facilities under the loan documents by an aggregate amount of up to the sum of (1) $125.0 million and (2) an amount such that, after giving effect to such incurrence of such amount (but excluding the cash proceeds of such incremental facilities and certain other indebtedness, and treating all commitments in respect of revolving indebtedness as fully drawn), the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio is equal to or less than 3.80 to 1.00, if certain conditions are satisfied, including the absence of a default or an event of default under the Credit Agreement at the time of the increase and that we obtain the consent of each lender providing any incremental facility.

 

In March 2020, we borrowed $79.0 million under our revolving credit facility, which is due in March 2023. We had approximately $15.8 million in available borrowing capacity under our $100.0 million revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2020.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are currently guaranteed by our material domestic subsidiaries and will from time to time be guaranteed by, subject in each case to certain exceptions, any domestic subsidiaries that may become material in the future. Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement is secured by first-priority perfected liens and security interests in substantially all of our personal property and each subsidiary guarantor.

 

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) LIBOR plus a specified margin, or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) Bank of America, N.A.’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% plus one-month LIBOR) plus a specified margin. For the three months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our Term Loan B facility was approximately 6.0%5.3%. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge certain of our interest rate exposures, as more fully disclosed in Note ON - Derivative“Derivative Financial Instruments.Instruments.

We must also pay (i) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.500% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) a per annum fee equal to (a) for each performance standby letter of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement with respect to nonfinancial contractual obligations, 50% of the applicable margin over LIBOR under the revolving credit facility in effect from time to time multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under such letter of credit, and (b) for each other letter of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin over LIBOR under the revolving credit facility in effect from time to time multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn for such letter of credit.

 

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants, including: i) requirements that we maintain certain financial ratios at prescribed levels, ii) a prohibition on payment of dividends and other distributions and iii) restrictions on our ability and certain of our subsidiaries to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, or consummate acquisitions outside the healthcare industry. The Credit Agreement includes the following financial covenants applicable for so long as any revolving loans and/or revolving commitments remain outstanding under the Credit Agreement:Agreement (some of which were amended in May 2020 by the Amendment (as defined and described below)): (i) a maximum consolidated first lien net leverage ratio (“Net Leverage Ratio”) (defined as, with certain adjustments and exclusions, the ratio of consolidated first-lien indebtedness to consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and certain other items (“EBITDA”) for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available) of 5.004.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019; 4.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2019 through March 31, 2020; 4.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2020 through March 31, 2021; 4.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2021 through March 31, 2022; and 3.75 to 1.00 for

16

the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter; and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our EBITDA to consolidated interest expense to the extent paid or payable in cash) of 2.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. We were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

 

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then the lenders may declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that the occurrence of an event of default as a result of a breach of a financial covenant under the Credit Agreement does not constitute a default or event of default with respect to any term facility under the Credit Agreement unless and until the required revolving lenders shall have terminated their revolving commitments and declared all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility to be due and payable. In addition, if we or any subsidiary guarantor becomes the subject of voluntary or involuntary proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, then any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement will automatically become immediately due and payable. Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate of 2.00% per annum in excess of the otherwise applicable rate (i) upon acceleration of such loans, (ii) while a payment event of default exists or (iii) upon the lenders’ request, during the continuance of any other event of default.

 

In May 2020, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) that provided for, amongst other things, an increase to the maximum Net Leverage Ratio to 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2020 through March 31, 2021; 5.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2021 through September 30, 2021; and 4.75 to 1.00 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. In addition, the Amendment changed the definition of EBITDA used in the Net Leverage Ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio to adjust for declines in net revenue attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the greater of LIBOR or 1%, plus 3.75%. In addition, the Amendment contained certain restrictions and covenants that further limit our ability, and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability, to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, or consummate acquisitions not financed with the proceeds of an equity offering, except that certain acquisitions are permitted after September 30, 2020, in the event we maintain certain leverage and liquidity thresholds.

Seller Notes

 

We typically issue subordinated promissory notes (“Seller Notes”) as a part of the consideration transferred when making acquisitions. The Seller Notes are unsecured and are presented net of unamortized discount of $0.3 million and $0.2$0.4 million as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. We measure these instruments at their estimated fair values as of the respective acquisition dates. The stated interest rates on these instruments range from 2.00%2.50% to 3.00%. Principal and interest are payable in monthly, quarterly or annual installments and mature through MayOctober 2024.

Note NM — Fair Value Measurements

 

Financial Instruments

 

In March 2018, we refinanced our credit facilities with the Credit Agreement. The carrying value of our outstanding term loan as of March 31, 2020 (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $8.9$7.9 million) of our outstanding term loan as of June 30, 2019 was $498.7$494.9 million compared to its fair value of $497.4$420.7 million. The carrying value of our outstanding term loan as of December 31, 20182019 (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $9.4$8.3 million) was $501.2$496.2 million compared to its fair value of $491.2$497.4 million. Our estimates of fair value are based on a discounted cash flow model and an indicative quote using unobservable inputs, primarily, our risk-adjusted credit spread, which represents a Level 3 measurement.

 

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no amounts outstanding on our revolving credit facility.

In March 2018, we entered intoThe Company has interest rate swap agreements with notional values of $325.0 million at inception, which reduces $12.5 million annually until the swaps mature on March 6, 2024.  The notional value outstanding as of June 30, 2019 was $312.5 million.  The interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges and are measured at fair value based on inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable, which represents a Level 2 measurement. See Note ML - Debt“Debt and Other Obligations” and Note ON - Derivative“Derivative Financial InstrumentsInstruments” for further information.

 

The carrying value of our outstanding Seller Notes issued in connection with acquisitions as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20182019 was $7.3$7.6 million and $4.5$9.0 million, respectively. We believe that the carrying value of the Seller Notes approximates their fair values based on a discounted cash flow model using unobservable inputs, primarily, our credit spread for subordinated debt, which represents a Level 3 measurement.

 

Note ON — Derivative Financial Instruments

 

We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions.  We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments.  Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash payments principally related to our borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

 

Our objectives in usingIn March 2018, we entered into interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements.  To accomplish these objectives, we primarily use interest rateswap agreements with notional values of $325.0 million at inception, which reduces $12.5 million annually until the swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.  The change in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recordedmature on our consolidated balance sheet in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

March 6, 2024. As of June 30,March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our swaps had a notional value outstanding of $312.5 million.  As of December 31, 2018, our swaps had a notional value outstanding of $325.0 million.

Note QP — Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

 

Defined Benefit Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

 

Effective January 2004, we implemented an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit plan (“DB SERP”) for certain senior executives. The DB SERP, which we administer, calls for fifteen annual payments upon retirement with the payment amount based on years of service and final average salary. Benefit costs and liability balances are calculated based on certain assumptions including benefits earned, discount rates, interest costs, mortality rates, and other factors. Actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods, affecting the recorded obligation and expense in future periods.

We believe the assumptions used are appropriate; however, changes in assumptions or differences in actual experience may affect our benefit obligation and future expenses. The DB SERP’s change in net benefit cost and obligation during the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

 

Change in Benefit Obligation:

Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

 

In 2013, we established a defined contribution plan (“DC SERP”) that covers certain of our senior executives. Each participant is given a notional account to manage his or her annual distributions and allocate the funds among various investment options (e.g. mutual funds). These accounts are tracking accounts only for the purpose of calculating the participant’s benefit. The participant does not have ownership of the underlying mutual funds. When a participant initiates or changes the allocation of his or her notional account, we will generally make an allocation of our investments to match those chosen by the participant. While the allocation of our sub accounts is generally intended to mirror the participant’s account records (i.e. the distributions and gains or losses on those funds), the employee does not have legal ownership of any funds until payout upon retirement. The underlying investments are owned by the insurance company with which we own an insurance policy.

 

As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the estimated accumulated obligation benefit is $3.2$3.9 million, of which $3.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of which $2.9 million and $2.4$3.3 million is funded and $0.3$0.2 million and $0.6 million is unfunded at June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

 

In connection with the DC SERP benefit obligation, we maintain a company-owned life insurance policy (“COLI”). The carrying value of the COLI is measured at its cash surrender value and is presented within “Other assets”other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note I - Other“Other Current Assets and Other AssetsAssets” for additional information.

Note RQ — Commitments and Contingencies

 

Guarantees and Indemnification

 

In the ordinary course of our business, we may enter into service agreements with service providers in which we agree to indemnify or limit the service provider against certain losses and liabilities arising from the service provider’s performance of the agreement. We have reviewed our existing contracts containing indemnification or clauses of guarantees and do not believe that our liability under such agreements is material.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

Securities and Derivative Litigation

In November 2014, a securities class action complaint, City of Pontiac General Employees’ Retirement System v. Hanger, et al., C.A. No. 1:14-cv-01026-SS, was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas.  The complaint named us and certain of our current and former officers for allegedly making materially false and misleading statements regarding, inter alia, our financial statements, RAC audit success rate, the implementation of new financial systems, same-store sales growth, and the adequacy of our internal processes and controls.  The complaint alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.  The complaint sought unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief.

On April 1, 2016, the court granted our motion to dismiss the lawsuit for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, and permitted plaintiffs to file an amended complaint.  On July 1, 2016, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint.  On September 15, 2016, we and certain of the individual defendants filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit.  On January 26, 2017, the court granted the defendants’ motions and dismissed with prejudice all claims against all defendants for failure to state a claim.  On February 24, 2017, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  On August 6, 2018, the Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part.  The Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the case against individual defendants Vinit Asar, our current President and Chief Executive Officer, and Thomas Kirk, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, but reversed the dismissal of the case against George McHenry, our former Chief Financial Officer, and Hanger, Inc.  On August 20, 2018, Hanger, Inc. and George McHenry filed a petition for panel rehearing and a petition for rehearing en banc with the Court of Appeals.  On April 10, 2019, the Court of Appeals granted the petition for panel rehearing, withdrew its previous panel decision, and substituted a new panel decision in its place that affirmed the District Court’s dismissal with prejudice of all claims against all the defendants for failure to state a claim.  Plaintiffs did not petition the Court of Appeals for a panel rehearing or a rehearing en banc, and did not file a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.  Therefore, the April 10, 2019 Court of Appeals ruling affirming the dismissal of all claims with prejudice against all defendants is now final.

 

In February and August of 2015, two separate shareholder derivative suits were filed in Texas state court against us related to the announced restatement of certain of our financial statements. The cases were subsequently consolidated intoJudy v. Asar, et. al.,Cause No. D-1-GN-15-000625.  D-1-GN-15-000625.On October 25, 2016, plaintiffs in that action filed an amended complaint, and the case is currently pending before the 459th345th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas.

 

The amended complaint in the consolidated derivative action names us and certain of our current and former officers and directors as defendants. It alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty based,inter alia, on the defendants’ alleged failure to exercise good faith to ensure that we had in place adequate accounting and financial controls and that disclosures regarding our business, financial performance and internal controls were truthful and accurate. The complaint seekssought unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief.

 

As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 6, 2016, the Board of Directors appointed a Special Litigation Committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”). The Board delegated to the Special Committee the authority to (1) determine whether it is in our best interests to pursue any of the allegations made in the derivative cases filed in Texas state

20

court (which cases were consolidated into theJudycase discussed above), (2) determine whether it is in our best interests to

pursue any remedies against any of our current or former employees, officers, or directors as a result of the conduct discovered in the Audit Committee investigation concluded on June 6, 2016 (the “Investigation”), and (3) otherwise resolve claims or matters relating to the findings of the Investigation. The Special Committee retained independent legal counsel to assist and advise it in carrying out its duties and reviewed and considered the evidence and various factors relating to our best interests. In accordance with its findings and conclusions, the Special Committee determined that it is not in our best interest to pursue any of the claims in theJudyderivative case. Also in accordance with its findings and conclusions, the Special Committee determined that it is not in our best interests to pursue legal remedies against any of our current or former employees, officers, or directors.

 

On April 14, 2017, we filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated derivative action based on the resolution by the Special Committee that it is not in our best interest to pursue the derivative claims. Counsel for the derivative plaintiffs opposed that motion and moved to compel discovery. In a hearing held on June 12, 2017, the Travis County court denied plaintiffs’ motion to compel, and held that the motion to dismiss would be considered only after appropriate discovery was concluded.

 

The plaintiffs subsequently subpoenaed counsel for the Special Committee, seeking a copy of the full report prepared by the Special Committee and its independent counsel. Counsel for the Special Committee, as well as our counsel, took the position that the full report is not discoverable under Texas law. Plaintiffs’ counsel filed a motion to compel the Special Committee’s counsel to produce the full report. We opposed the motion. On July 20, 2018, the Travis County court ruled that only a redacted version of the report is discoverable, and counsel for the Special Committee provided a redacted version of the report to plaintiffs’ counsel. Plaintiffs objected to the redacted version of the report, and on February 4, 2019, the Travis County court appointed a Special Master to review plaintiffs’ objections to the redacted report. On March 22, 2019, the Special Master submitted a report to the Travis County court recommending that the court order that the entire Special Committee report be produced. On April 2, 2019 we filed an objection to the Special Master’s report and recommendation, and requested a hearing on the matter. On June 25, 2019, the Travis County court rejected the recommendation of the Special Master, and instead ordered that only a limited additional portion of the Special Committee report should be unredacted. On July 10, 2019, the updated redacted Special Committee report was provided to plaintiffs through their counsel.  Upon completion

In late October 2019, a non-binding agreement in principle was reached by the parties to settle the consolidated derivative action, the parties entered into a definitive settlement agreement in late December 2019, and in January 2020 the Travis County court issued an order providing preliminary approval of discovery, we intendthe settlement and ordering that notice of the settlement be made to file a motion to dismissthe Company’s shareholders. On March 10, 2020, the Travis County court issued an order providing final approval of the settlement and dismissing with prejudice the consolidated derivative action.

 

Management intends to continue to vigorously defend against the shareholder derivative action.  At this time, if the derivative action were to go to trial, we cannot predict how the Travis County Court would rule on the merits of the claims and/or the scope of the potential loss in the event of an adverse outcome.  Should we ultimately be found liable, the resulting damages could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or our results of operations.

Other Matters

 

From time to time we are subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business, and are also subject to additional payments under business purchase agreements. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of our operations.

 

We operate in a highly regulated industry and receive regulatory agency inquiries from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including inquiries relating to our billing activities. No assurance can be given that any discrepancies identified during a regulatory review will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Note SR — Segment and Related Information

 

We have identified two operating segments and both performance evaluation and resource allocation decisions are determined based on each operating segment’s income from operations. The operating segments are described further below:

 

Patient Care - This segment consists of (i) our owned and operated patient care clinics.clinics, and (ii) our contracting and network management business. The patient care clinics provide services to design and fit O&P devices to patients. These clinics also instruct patients in the use, care, and maintenance of the devices. The principal reimbursement sources for our services are:

 

·

Commercial private payors and other, which consist of individuals, rehabilitation providers, commercial insurance companies, health management organizations (“HMOs”), preferred provider organizations (“PPOs”), hospitals, vocational rehabilitation, workers’ compensation programs, and similar sources;

 

·

Medicare, a federally funded health insurance program providing health insurance coverage for persons aged 65 or older and certain disabled persons with disabilities, which provides reimbursement for O&P products and services based on prices set forth in published fee schedules with 10 regional pricing areas for prosthetics and orthotics and by state for durable medical equipment;

 

·

Medicaid, a health insurance program jointly funded by federal and state governments providing health insurance coverage for certain persons inrequiring financial need,assistance, regardless of age, which may supplement Medicare benefits for persons aged 65 or older inrequiring financial need;assistance; and

 

·                  U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

the VA.

 

Our contract and network management business, known as Linkia, is the only network management company dedicated solely to serving the O&P market and is focused on managing the O&P services of national and regional insurance companies. We partner with healthcare insurance companies by securing a national or regional contract either as a preferred provider or to manage their O&P network of providers.

 

Products & Services -This segment consists of our distribution services business, which distributes and fabricates O&P products and components to sell to both the O&P industry and our own patient care clinics, and our therapeutic solutions business. The therapeutic solutions business providesleases and sells rehabilitation equipment and ancillary consumable supplies combined with equipment maintenance, education, and training. This segment also develops emerging neuromuscular technologies for the O&P and rehabilitation markets.

 

Corporate & Other - This consists of corporate overhead and includes unallocated expense such as personnel costs, professional fees, and corporate offices expenses.

 

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note A - Organization“Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesPolicies” in our 20182019 Form 10-K.

 

Intersegment revenue primarily relates to sales of O&P components from the Products & Services segment to the Patient Care segment. The sales are priced at the cost of the related materials plus overhead.

Note US — Subsequent Events

 

In July 2019,April 2020, we completed the acquisitionsacquisition of two orthotic and prosthetic businessesan O&P business for a total purchase price of $3.4$50.4 million. The total consideration transferred in the acquisition is composed of $20.0 million of which $3.0 million wasin cash consideration, and $0.4$22.4 million was issued in the form of a notenotes to the shareholders, $7.6 million in liabilities and deferred payment obligations to certain shareholders or employees of the acquired business, and $0.4 million in other adjustments to the purchase price. Of the $22.4 million notes issued to the former shareholder.  The note isshareholders, approximately $18.4 million of the notes are payable in quarterlya lump sum payment due in October 2020 and the remaining $4.0 million of the notes are payable in annual installments over a period of five years.three years on the anniversary date of the acquisition. Of the $7.6 million in deferred payment obligations, approximately $3.6 million will be paid in October 2020 and the remaining balance of $4.0 million is due in annual installments beginning in the fourth year following the acquisition and for three years thereafter. Acquisition-related expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to this acquisition were not material. Due to the proximity of the completion of the acquisitionsthese transactions to the filing of this Formform 10-Q, it is not practicable to provide a preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of the assets purchasedacquired and liabilities assumed in the transactions.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSacquisition.

 

In April 2020, the Company received $15.8 million in government grants under the CARES Act (the “Grant”) to compensate for health-care related expenses and lost revenues associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The terms and conditions of the Grant require the Company to certify the proceeds received under the Grant are for health-care related expenses or lost revenues attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as certain administrative reporting requirements related to the use of proceeds from the Grant.

In May 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement as described in Note L - “Debt and Other Obligations”.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements

 

This report contains statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our liquidity and our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategies. These statements often include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “project,” “potential,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “seek,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “forecasts” or similar words. These statements are based on certain assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in these circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative, that may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports.

 

These statements involve risks, estimates, assumptions, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these statements and elsewhere in this report,report. These uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the financial and any claims, investigations,business impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and the operations of our customers, suppliers, governmental and private payers and others in the healthcare industry and beyond; federal laws governing the health care industry; governmental policies affecting O&P operations, including with respect to reimbursement; failure to successfully implement a new enterprise resource planning system or proceedings arising as a result, as well asother disruptions to information technology systems; the inability to successfully execute our ability to remediate the material weaknesses inacquisition strategy, including integration of recently acquired O&P clinics into our internal control over financial reporting described in Item 4. “Controls and Procedures” contained elsewhere in this report,existing business; changes in the demand for our O&P products and services, uncertainties relatingincluding additional competition in the O&P services market; disruptions to the results of operations or our acquired O&P patient care clinics,supply chain; our ability to enter into and derive benefits from managed-care contracts,contracts; our ability to successfully attract and retain qualified O&P clinicians, federal laws governing the health care industry, uncertainties inherent in investigations and legal proceedings, governmental policies affecting O&P operations,clinicians; and other risks and uncertainties generally affecting the health care industry.

 

Readers are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, those described in Item 1A., “Risk Factors”, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 (the “2018“2019 Form 10-K”), and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, some of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained therein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in ourthis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. Actual results could differ materially and adversely from those contemplated by any forward-looking statement. In light of the significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements in this discussion to reflect events and circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect unanticipated events. Forward-looking statements and our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations may be affected by the risks set forth in Item 1A., “Risk Factors”, contained in our 20182019 Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or by other unknown risks and uncertainties.

Effect of Delay in Financial Filings

As discussed in our 2018 Form 10-K, due to prior restatements and related issues, we were delayed in the preparation and filing of our financial statements in recent years.  In connection with our efforts to restate our prior financial statements, remediate our material weaknesses, regain our timely filing status, and undertake related activities, we have incurred third party professional fees in excess of the amounts we estimate that we would have otherwise incurred.  The estimated professional fees associated with these efforts are as follows (in thousands):

We currently estimate that during 2019, we will expend a total of $6.3 million in excess professional fees.  We expect to continue to incur professional fees as we focus on the remediation of our continuing material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting.  Due to the ongoing material weaknesses in our controls over financial reporting, we currently undertake additional substantive procedures to test and verify financial statement amounts in connection with the preparation of our financial statements.

Non-GAAP Measures

 

We refer to certain financial measures and statistics that are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We utilize these non-GAAP measures in order to evaluate the underlying factors that affect our business performance and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or as a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We have defined and provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP measuresmeasure used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis areis as follows:

 

Adjusted Gross Revenue and Disallowed Revenue - “Adjusted gross revenue” reflects our gross billings after their adjustment to reflect estimated discounts established in our contracts with payors

25

 

Same Clinic Revenues Per Day - measures the year-over-year change in revenue from clinics that have been open a full calendar year or more. Examples of clinics not included in the same center population are closures and acquisitions. Day-adjusted growth normalizes sales for the number of days a clinic was open in each comparable period.

Business Overview

 

General

 

We are a leading national provider of products and services that assist in enhancing or restoring the physical capabilities of patients with disabilities or injuries. Built on the legacy of James Edward Hanger, the first amputee of the American Civil War, we and our predecessor companies have provided O&P services for over 150 years. We provide O&P services, distribute O&P devices and components, manage O&P networks, and provide therapeutic solutions to patients and businesses in acute, post-acute, and clinic settings. We operate through two segments - Patient Care and Products & Services.

 

Our Patient Care segment is primarily comprised of Hanger Clinic, which specializes in the design, fabrication, and delivery of custom O&P devices through 696694 patient care clinics and 109110 satellite locations in 4546 states and the District of Columbia as of June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. We also provide payor network contracting services to other O&P providers through this segment.

 

Our Products & Services segment is comprised of our distribution services and our therapeutic solutions businesses. As a leading provider of O&P products in the United States, we coordinate, through our distribution services business,engage in the procurement and distribution of a broad catalog of O&P parts, componentry, and devices to independent O&P providers nationwide.  To facilitate speed and convenience, we deliver these products through our five distribution facilities that are located in Nevada, Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Texas. The other business in our Products & Services segment is our therapeutic solutions business, which develops specialized rehabilitation technologies and provides evidence-based clinical programs for post-acute rehabilitation to patients at approximately 4,1004,000 skilled nursing and post-acute providers nationwide.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2020, our net revenues were $233.7 million and we recorded net loss of $15.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our net revenues were $281.1$236.4 million and $517.5 million, respectively, and we recorded net income of $10.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, our net revenues were $267.0 million and $501.0 million, respectively, and we recorded net income of $12.9 million and a net loss of $9.7 million, respectively.$7.0 million.

 

Industry Overview

 

We estimate that approximately $4.2$4.3 billion is spent in the United States each year for prescription-based O&P products and services.services through O&P clinics. We estimate thatbelieve our Patient Care segment currently accounts for approximately 20%21% of the market, share, providing a comprehensive portfolio of orthotic, prosthetic, and post-operative solutions to patients in acute, post-acute, and patient care clinic settings.

 

The traditional O&P patient care industryservices market is highly fragmented and is characterized by regional and local independent O&P businesses.businesses operated predominantly by independent operators, but also including two O&P product manufacturers with international patient care services operations. We do not believe that any single competitor accounts for more than approximately 2% of the country’snation’s total estimated O&P patient care clinic revenues.

 

The industry is characterized by stable, recurring revenues, primarily resulting from new patients as well as the need for periodic replacement and modification of O&P devices. We anticipate that the demand for O&P services will continue to grow as the nation’s population increases, and as a result of several trends, including the aging of the U.S. population, there will be an increase in the prevalence of disease-related disability and the demand for new and advanced devices. We believe the typical replacement time for prosthetic devices is three to five years, while the typical replacement time for orthotic devices varies, depending on the device.

 

We estimate that approximately $1.7 billion is spent in the United States each year by providers of O&P patient care services for the O&P products, components, devices, and supplies used in their businesses. Our Products & Services segment distributes to independent providers of O&P services and tosupplies our own patient care clinics. We estimate that our distribution sales account for approximately 8% of the market for O&P products, components, devices, and supplies (excluding sales to our Patient Care segment).

26

We estimate the market for rehabilitation technologies, integrated clinical programs, and clinician training in skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) to be approximately $150 million annually. We currently provide these products and services to approximately 25% of the estimated 15,000 SNFs located in the U.S. We estimate the market for rehabilitation technologies, clinical programs, and training within the broader post-acute rehabilitation markets to be approximately $400 million annually. We do not currently provide a meaningful amount of products and services to this broader market.

 

Business Description

 

Patient Care

 

Our Patient Care segment employs approximately 1,5001,550 clinical prosthetists, orthotists, and pedorthists, which we refer to as clinicians, substantially all of which are certified by either the American Board for Certification or the Board of Certification of Orthotists and Prosthetists, which are the two boards that certify O&P clinicians. To facilitate timely service to our patients, we also employ technicians, fitters, and other ancillary providers to assist our clinicians in the performance of their duties. Through this segment, we additionally provide network contracting services to independent providers of O&P.

 

Patients are typically referred to Hanger Clinic by an attending physician who determines a patient’s treatment and writes a prescription. Our clinicians then consult with both the referring physician and the patient with a view toward assisting in the selection of an orthotic or prosthetic device to meet the patient’s needs. O&P devices are increasingly technologically advanced and custom designed to add functionality and comfort to patients’ lives, shorten the rehabilitation process, and lower the cost of rehabilitation.

 

Based on the prescription written by a referring physician, our clinicians examine and evaluate the patient and either design a custom device or, in the case of certain orthotic needs, utilize a non-custom device, including, in appropriate circumstances, an “off the shelf” device, to address the patient’s needs. When fabricating a device, our clinicians ascertain the specific requirements, componentry, and measurements necessary for the construction of the device. Custom devices are constructed using componentry provided by a variety of third party manufacturers who specialize in O&P, coupled with sockets and other elements that are fabricated by our clinicians and technicians, to meet the individual patient’s physical and ambulatory needs. Our clinicians and technicians typically utilize castings, electronic scans, and other techniques to fabricate items that are specialized for the patient. After fabricating the device, a fitting process is undertaken and adjustments are made to ensure the achievement of proper alignment, fit, and patient comfort. The fitting process often involves several stages to successfully achieve desired functional and cosmetic results.

 

Given the differing physical weight and size characteristics, location of injury or amputation, capability for physical activity and mobility, cosmetic, and other needs of each individual patient, each fabricated prosthesis and orthosis is customized for each particular patient. These custom devices are commonly fabricated at one of our regional or national fabrication facilities.

 

We have earned a reputation within the O&P industry for the development and use of innovative technology in our products, which has increased patient comfort and capability and can significantly enhance the rehabilitation process. Frequently, our proprietary Insignia scanning system is used in the fabrication process. The Insignia system scans the patient and produces an accurate computer-generated image, resulting in a faster turnaround for the patient’s device and a more professional overall experience.

 

In recent years, we have established a centralized revenue cycle management organization that assists our clinics in pre-authorization, patient eligibility, denial management, collections, payor audit coordination, and other accounts receivable processes.

 

The principal reimbursement sources for our services are:

 

·

Commercial private payors and other non-governmental organizations, which consist of individuals, rehabilitation providers, commercial insurance companies, HMOs, PPOs, hospitals, vocational rehabilitation centers, workers’ compensation programs, third party administrators, and similar sources;

27

·

Medicare, a federally funded health insurance program providing health insurance coverage for persons aged 65 or older and certain disabled persons;

persons with disabilities;

 

·

Medicaid, a health insurance program jointly funded by federal and state governments providing health insurance coverage for certain persons based uponrequiring financial need,assistance, regardless of age, which may supplement Medicare benefits for persons aged 65 or older inrequiring financial need;assistance; and

 

·

the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

 

We typically enter into contracts with third party payors that allow us to perform O&P services for a referred patient and to be paid under the contract with the third party payor.reimbursed for our services. These contracts usually have a stated term of one to three years.  These contractsyears and generally may be terminated without cause by either party on 60 to 90 days’ notice, or on 30 days’ notice if we have not complied with certain licensing, certification, program standards, Medicare or Medicaid requirements, or other regulatory requirements. Reimbursement for services is typically based on a fee schedule negotiated with the third party payor that reflects various factors, including market conditions, geographic area, and number of persons covered. Many of our commercial contracts are indexed to the commensurate Medicare fee schedule that relates to the products or services being provided.

 

Government reimbursement is comprised of Medicare, Medicaid, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.VA. These payors set maximum reimbursement levels for O&P services and products. Medicare prices are adjusted each year based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”) unless Congress acts to change or eliminate the adjustment. The CPI-U is adjusted further by an efficiency factor (theknown as the “Productivity Adjustment” or the “Multi-Factor Productivity Adjustment”) in order to determine the final rate adjustment each year. There can be no assurance that future adjustments will not reduce reimbursements for O&P services and products from these sources.

 

We, and the O&P industry in general, are subject to various Medicare compliance audits, including Recovery Audit Contractor (“RAC”) audits, Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (“CERT”) audits, Targeted Probe and Educate (“TPE”) audits, and Zone Program Integrity Contractor (“ZPIC”) audits, Supplemental Medical Review Contractor (“SMRC”) audits, and Universal Payment Identification Code (“UPIC”) audits. TPE audits are generally pre-payment audits, while RAC, CERT, ZPIC, and ZPICSMRC audits are generally post-payment audits. UPIC audits can be both pre- or post-payment audits, with a majority currently being pre-payment. TPE audits replaced the previous Medicare Administrative Contractor audits. Adverse post-payment audit determinations generally require Hanger to reimburse Medicare for payments previously made, while adverse pre-payment audit determinations generally result in the denial of payment. In either case, we can request a redetermination or appeal, if we believe the adverse determination is unwarranted, which can take an extensive period of time to resolve, currently up to six years or more.

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

ThroughBeginning in the last weeks of March 2020, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Acceleratedbusiness volumes began to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As federal, state, and local authorities implemented social distancing and suppression measures to respond to an increasing number of nationwide COVID-19 infections, we experienced a decrease in our patient appointments and general business volumes. These adverse volume effects further expanded during April 2020. In response, during the last week of March 2020, we made certain changes to our operations, implemented a broad number of cost reduction measures, and paused certain capital investment projects. These volume effects and our operating responses are discussed further in this section, and the effects of COVID-19 on our financial condition is discussed in the “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below.

Effect on Business Volumes

During the month of April 2020, patient appointment volumes in our Patient Care Plus Corp.clinics decreased by approximately 40% as compared with the same period in 2019. The Company's billings for these appointments decreased by a lessor amount due in part to the delivery of completed prosthetic and orthotic devices to patients who had been initially evaluated and had devices fabricated during the first quarter. The degree of decrease has varied greatly across the different regions in which we operate. As of the end of April 2020, we had temporarily closed 27 patient care clinics and another 179 clinics were open for reduced hours or by appointment only. Billings for componentry delivered to independent providers of orthotics and prosthetics by the Company's distribution services business decreased by approximately 40% as well during the month of April 2020. Our business volumes associated with therapeutic solutions have also been adversely affected due to access restrictions our skilled nursing facility clients have implemented at their facilities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to significant geographic product mix and timing differences, there can be no assurance that these volumes or billing amounts will be reflective of the Company's results for the second quarter as a whole, and are solely provided for the purposes of giving context to the magnitude of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business during April 2020.

Given that the development of a clearly effective medical treatment approach for treating COVID-19 does not appear imminent and that the vast majority of the general population of the United States has not developed natural immunity, we believe that the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to affect our business volumes for the duration of 2020, and possibly into 2021. These adverse effects will primarily be the result of likely continuing governmental measures to suppress the virus to address periods and locations of virus re-emergence, the adverse economic consequences to our patients, and the general lack of normalcy in the willingness of individuals to engage in activities that might increase their likelihood of their exposure to the virus.

Nevertheless, we do believe that the overall adverse impact will diminish, and our patient appointment and other business volumes will gradually improve as the prevalence of the virus decreases and social distancing, masking and testing measures become more routine, and the perception of infection risks subside. Additionally, we believe that if a patient is initially unable or unwilling to come to one of our clinics to receive their prosthetic or orthotic device, as a result of their infection, then their

29

ultimate need for that device is not likely to change, and that we could accordingly have some favorable volume recovery effect in future periods as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

Operating and Cost Reduction Responses

Throughout the periods affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, given that our services to the disabled are considered essential services, we have endeavored to continue to operate our businesses. However, due to the risks posed to our clinicians, other employees, and patients, we have made certain changes to our operating practices in order to promote safety and to minimize the risk of virus transmission. These have included the implementation of certain patient screening protocols and the relocation of certain administrative and support personnel to a “work at home” environment. We have also changed the operating days and hours of certain of our clinics to adapt to changes in patient volumes.

Normally, only our material costs and portions of our incentive compensation expenses vary directly with changes in our business volumes from one period to the next. This has been due in part to our general practice of maintaining full time staffing levels for clinicians and non-exempt employees in our clinic and support operations. This operating practice has been necessitated by our desire to provide high levels of accessibility and service to our patients.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have found it necessary to reduce our personnel costs in response to significant decreases in business volumes. Commencing at the start of April 2020, personnel cost reductions were implemented through (i) an average 32% decrease in the salaries of all of our exempt employees, the percentage of which varies to lower amounts for lower salaried employees up to reduction amounts ranging from 47% to 100% for our senior leadership team; (ii) the furloughing of certain employees on a voluntary and involuntary basis; (iii) the reduction of work hours for non-exempt employees; (iv) decreases in bonus, commission, and other variable incentive costs; (v) the reduction of overtime expenses; (vi) the elimination of certain open positions; (vii) a reduction in the use of contract employees, and (viii) the temporary suspension of certain auto allowances. We have communicated to our employees that reductions of exempt employee salaries could continue for up to a six month period ending on October 2, 2020 of this year. Our decision to reduce employee wages rather than to implement a more permanent reduction in force was based on our desire to retain as many employees as possible to preserve the experience, culture, and patient service capabilities of our workforce for periods subsequent to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our preference has been to collectively share in the financial hardships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic rather than to subject portions of our workforce to the full financial burden. We have not implemented reductions to employee benefits, nor do we currently intend to suspend the Company’s annual employer 401(k) match for 2020 which we would typically expect to pay in March of 2021.

We have undertaken other reductions to our other operating expenses; however, our largest category of operating expense, rent, utilities, and facilities maintenance, and which amounted to $16.2 million in the first quarter, will be difficult to meaningfully reduce in the near term.

Excluding reductions in componentry costs, which we believe will vary in a corresponding fashion with decreases in revenue, we currently estimate that these cost reduction measures will provide savings in the approximate range of $75 million to $80 million in operating expenses for the six month period ending September 30, 2020.

In addition to these reductions in operating expenses, we have elected to temporarily suspend our Supply Chain and Financial Systems implementations. We have not currently set a date for recommencement of this systems initiative, but we currently believe it is likely that the project will not recommence until at least early next year. We have also suspended construction of our new fabrication facility in Tempe, Arizona, and other projects related to the reconfiguration of our distribution facilities. These delays will correspondingly push our achievement of the financial benefits expected from them into future periods.

We believe these and other related measures will reduce our capital expenditures for the full year, which are comprised of purchases of property, plant and equipment, as well as therapeutic program equipment, to the approximate range of $30 million to $35 million, which compares to the approximately $45 million we originally planned to expend in 2020.

30

While we have endeavored to rapidly reduce our expenses in response to decreases in patient and business volumes, given that a substantial portion of our operating expenses are nevertheless fixed in nature, and the ongoing interest costs associated with our indebtedness, we do not currently believe we will fully offset the adverse earnings effect associated with lost revenue during the second quarter. Nevertheless, as discussed in the “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below, we do believe that our operating expense and capital project reductions, when accompanied by additional cash sources, cost mitigation and liquidity management strategies, will enable us to maintain positive liquidity throughout the remainder of 2020 and subsequent future periods.

Other Products & Services Performance Considerations

As discussed in our 2019 Form 10-K, under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, several of the larger independent O&P providers we served through the distribution of componentry encountered financial difficulties during the quarter which resulted in our discontinuing distribution services to them. Generally, we believe our distribution customers encounter reimbursement pressures similar to those we experience in our own Patient Care segment and, depending on their ability to adapt to the increased claims documentation standards that have emerged in our industry, this may either limit the rate of growth of some of our customers, or otherwise affect the rate of growth we experience in our distribution of O&P componentry to independent providers. During future periods, in addition to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic discussed above, we currently believe our rate of revenue growth in this segment may decrease as we choose to limit the extent to which we distribute certain low margin orthotic products. Additionally, to the extent that we acquire independent O&P providers who are pre-existing customers of our distribution services, our revenue growth in this segment would be adversely affected as we would no longer recognize external revenue from the components we provide them.

Within our Products & Services segment, in addition to our distribution of products, we provide therapeutic equipment and services to patients at SNFs and other healthcare provider locations. Since 2016, a number of our clients, including several of our larger SNF clients, have been discontinuing their use of our therapeutic solutionsservices. We believe these discontinuances relate primarily to their overall efforts to reduce the costs they bear for therapy-related services within their facilities. As a part of those terminations of service, in a number of cases, we elected to sell terminating clients the equipment that we had utilized for their locations. Within this portion of our business, is a leading providerwe have and continue to respond to these historical trends through the expansion of rehabilitation technologiesour products and integrated clinical programs to post-acute care and rehabilitation providers.  Our value proposition is to provide our customers with a full-service “total solutions” approach encompassing proven medical technology, evidence based clinical programs, and ongoing clinician education and training.  Our services support increasingly advanced treatment options for a broader patient population and more medically complex conditions.  We currently serve approximately 4,100 skilled nursing and post-acute providers nationwide.offerings.

The amount of our reimbursement varies based on the nature of the O&P device we fabricate for our patients. Given the particular physical weight and size characteristics, location of injury or amputation, capability for physical activity, and mobility, cosmetic, and other needs of each individual patient, each fabricated prostheses and orthoses is customized for each particular patient. The nature of this customization and the manner by which our claims submissions are reviewed by payors makes our reimbursement process administratively difficult.

 

To receive reimbursement for our work, we must ensure that our clinical, administrative, and billing personnel receive and verify certain medical and health plan information, record detailed documentation regarding the services we provide, and accurately and timely perform a number of claims submission and related administrative tasks. It is our belief the increased nationwide efforts to reduce health care costs has driven changes in industry trends with increases in payor pre-authorization processes, documentation requirements, pre-payment reviews, and pre- and post-payment audits, and our ability to successfully undertake these tasks using our traditional approach has become increasingly challenging. We believe these changes in industry trends have been brought about in part by increased nationwide efforts to reduce health care costs.

A measure of our effectiveness in securing reimbursement for our services can be found in the degree to which payors ultimately disallow payment of our claims. Payors can deny claims due to their determination that a physician who referred a patient to us did not sufficiently document that a device was medically necessary or clearly establish the ambulatory (or “activity”) level of a patient. Claims can also be denied based on our failure to ensure that a patient was currently eligible under a payor’s health plan, that the plan provides full O&P benefits, that we received prior authorization, or that we filed or appealed the payor’s determination timely, as well as on the basis of our coding, failure by certain classes of patients to pay their portion of a claim, or for various other reasons. If any portion of, or administrative factor within, our claim is found by the payor to be lacking, then the entirety of the claim amount may be denied reimbursement.

 

Commencing in late 2014 and continuing through today, we have taken a number of actions to manage disallowed revenue trends. These initiatives included: (i) the creation of a central revenue cycle management function; (ii) addressing the resolution of issues identified in our patient management and electronic health record system; and (iii) the establishment of new clinic-level procedures and training regarding the collection of supporting documentation and the importance of diligence in our claims submission processes.

Growth Rates and Earnings EffectsAcquisitions

 

Patient CareWe did not complete any acquisitions during the first quarter of 2020.

 

During 2019, we completed the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2019, approximately 55% and 53%following acquisitions of our net revenuesO&P clinics, none of which were derived from the provision of prosthetic devicesindividually material to our patients.  These devices have a significantly higher relative reimbursement as compared with the orthotic devices and other related prosthetic supplies that we provide patients.  The volumefinancial position, results of prosthetic patients we see from one period to the next varies greatly, and this has a significant effect on our relative rate of net revenue growth we experience.  Additionally, with the exception of materials costs and certain incentive compensation amounts, our staffing levels, operating costs, lease costs, depreciation and amortization expenses, and interest costs are essentially fixed in nature.  As a result, increasesoperations, or decreases in our revenue from one period to the next can have a significant effect on our comparative reported earnings for those periods.

Products & Servicescash flows:

 

As discussed in our 2018 Form 10-K, under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, in 2017, several of the larger independent O&P providers we served through the distribution of componentry encountered financial difficulties which resulted in our discontinuing distribution services to them.  Generally, we believe our distribution customers encounter reimbursement pressures similar to those we experience in our own Patient Care services and, depending on their ability to adapt to the increased claims documentation standards that have emerged in our industry, this may either limit the rate of growth of some of our customers, or otherwise affect the rate of growth we experience in our distribution of O&P componentry to independent providers.  Additionally, to the extent that we acquire independent O&P providers who are pre-existing customers of our distribution services, our revenue growth in this segment would be adversely affected as we would no longer recognize external revenue from the components we provide them.

Within our Products & Services segment, in addition to our distribution of products, we provide therapeutic equipment and services to patients at SNFs and other healthcare provider locations.  Since 2016, a number of our clients, including several of our larger SNF clients, began to discontinue their use of our therapeutic services.  We believe these discontinuances relate primarily to their overall efforts to reduce the costs they bear for therapy-related services within their facilities.  As a part of those terminations of service, in a number of cases, we elected to sell terminating clients the equipment that we had utilized for their locations.  In 2019, we anticipate a further decline of approximately $5.0 million to $7.0 million in revenue from these services associated with customer discontinuances.  Within this portion of our business, we have responded to these trends through increases in our marketing programs which convey the value we believe our services provide to patients at SNFs and other adjacent health services provider markets.

Acquisitions

In the three months ending Junefirst quarter of 2019, we completed the acquisition of oneall the outstanding equity interests of an O&P business with threefor total consideration of $32.8 million, of which $27.7 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, $4.4 million was issued in the form of notes to shareholders at fair value, and $0.7 million was additional consideration.

In the second quarter of 2019, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding equity interests of an O&P clinics similar to those we operate through our Patient Care segmentbusiness for an aggregate purchase pricetotal consideration of $0.5 million.  The purchase price consistedmillion, of which $0.2 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, and $0.3 million was issued in the form of unsecured notes issued to the sellersshareholders at fair value.

 

In the first three monthsthird quarter of 2019, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding equity interests of one business with 25 O&P clinicsbusiness and acquired the assets of another O&P business for an aggregate purchase pricetotal consideration of $32.8 million.  The purchase price consisted of $27.7 million cash consideration, net of cash acquired, $4.4$3.3 million, of unsecured notes issued to the sellers at fair value, and $0.7which $3.0 million of estimated additional consideration expected to be paid in the third quarter of 2019.

New System Implementations

In recent years, we have been undertaking the implementation of a new patient management and electronic health record system at our patient care clinics.  In the firstfourth quarter of 2019, we completed this multi-year implementation.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2019, we expensed $0.8acquisition of all the outstanding equity interests of one O&P business and acquired the assets of another O&P business for total consideration of $7.8 million, of which $5.0 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, and $2.8 million was issued in training, travel,the form of notes to shareholders at fair value.

Acquisition-related costs are included in general and related implementation costs.  Foradministrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Total acquisition-related costs incurred during the yearsyear ended December 31, 20182019 were $1.5 million, which includes those costs for transactions that are in progress or not completed during the respective period. Acquisition-related costs incurred for acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2019 were $1.0 million.

In response to the expected economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented certain cost mitigation and 2017, we expensed $4.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively, for these implementation expenses.  As we undertakeliquidity management strategies, including the temporary delay of our acquisitions of independent O&P providers, we intendsubject to convert these acquired clinics to this systemcertain conditions and thresholds in the ordinary course offirst amendment to our business.Credit Agreement entered into in May 2020. Refer to the “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for additional discussion.

New Systems Implementations

 

During 2019, we have commenced the design, implementation planning, and initial implementation of new financial and supply chain systems (“New Systems Implementations”), and planplanned to invest in new servers and software that operate as a part of our technology infrastructure. During 2019, inIn connection with our new financial and supply chain systems, for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2020, we have expensed $0.9 million and for the year ended December 31, 2019, we have expensed $1.5$2.9 million.

As discussed in the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section, we have elected to temporarily delay our New Systems Implementations as part of our efforts to preserve liquidity. We have not set a date for recommencement of these systems initiatives, but currently believe it likely that the project will not recommence until at least early next year. This delay will correspondingly push our achievement of the financial benefits expected from the New Systems Implementations into subsequent periods.

As of March 31, 2020, we capitalized $4.1 million of implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements, net of accumulated amortization, and recorded in other current assets and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Effect of Delay in Financial Filings

As discussed in our 2019 Form 10-K, due to prior restatements and related issues, we were delayed in the preparation and filing of our financial statements in recent years. In connection with our efforts to restate our prior financial statements, remediate our material weaknesses, regain our timely filing status, and undertake related activities, we have incurred third party professional fees in excess of the amounts we estimate that we would have otherwise incurred. The estimated professional fees associated with these efforts are as follows (in thousands):

        Balance to be Paid 
For the Three Months Ended Expensed  Paid  in Future Periods 
March 31, 2019  1,649   (2,621)  2,223 
June 30, 2019  1,745   (2,016)  1,952 
September 30, 2019  2,136   (2,168)  1,920 
December 31, 2019  3,018   (2,451)  2,487 
March 31, 2020  1,639   (2,819)  1,307 

During the first quarter, of 2020 we incurred approximately $1.6 million in excess professional fees in connection with the completion of our remediation activities related to our material weaknesses. Given that we completed the remediation of our material weaknesses in financial statement controls effective with the filing of our 2019 Form 10-K, we do not currently anticipate that we will spend $3.8 million for the full year.  We are additionally incurring increased capital expenditures in connection with improvements to our systems’ infrastructure.  In 2020 and 2021, we currently expect to continue to incur operating expense for the financial and supply chain projects of approximately $5.0 million in each year in connection with this implementation, and to incur further significant cash outlays and capital expendituresexcess third party professional fees for these purposes in connection with our supply chain, financial systems and technology infrastructure initiatives.future periods.

Seasonality

 

We believe our business is affected by the degree to which patients have otherwise met the deductibles for which they are responsible in their medical plans during the course of the year. The first quarter is normally our lowest relative net revenue and earnings quarter, followed by the second and third quarters, which are somewhat higher and consistent with one another, and, dueanother. Due to the general fulfillment by patients of their health plan co-payments and deductible requirements towards the year’s end, our fourth quarter is normally our highest revenue producing quarter.

 

Our results are also affected, to a lesser extent, by our holding of an education fair in the first quarter of each year. This one-week event is conducted to assist our clinicians in maintaining their training and certification requirements and to facilitate a national meeting with our clinical leaders. We also invite manufacturers of the componentry for the devices we fabricate to

34

these annual events so they can demonstrate their products and otherwise assist in our training process. During the first quartersquarter of 20192020 and 2018,2019, we spent approximately $2.3 million in each of these two years, on travel and other costs associated with this one-week event. In addition to the costs we incur associated with this annual event, we also lose the productivity of a significant portion of our clinicians during the one-week period in and around the timing ofwhich this event occurs, which contributes to the lower seasonal revenue level we experience during the first quarter of each year.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We prepareOur analysis and discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. GAAP provides the framework from which to make these estimates, assumptions, and disclosures. We have chosen accounting policies within GAAP that management believes are appropriate to fairly present, in all material respects, our operating results, and financial position. We believe the following accounting policies are critical to understanding our results of operations and the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Relevance of First Quarter Results to Future Periods.As discussed in “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” above, commencing late in the first quarter the Company's revenues and operating results began to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The effects of this public health emergency on our revenues and earnings will likely cause our financial results for prospective quarters to differ in an adverse manner from the results reported for the first quarter and for comparative prior year quarters. Our discussion in this section relates to our actual first quarter results. Please refer to the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above and the “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below for additional forward-looking information concerning our current expectations regarding the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our prospective results and financial condition.

Patient Care net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $231.2 million, an increase of $13.0 million, or 6.0%, from $218.2 million for the same period in the prior year.  Same clinic revenue increased $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting an increase of 3.0% on a per-day basis.  Net revenue from acquired clinics was $5.8 million and growth from non-comparable clinics and other services was $0.7 million.

Prosthetics constituted approximately 55.0% of our total Patient Care revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 54.3% for the same period in 2018 excluding the impact of acquisitions.  Prosthetic revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 4.3% higher, on a per-day basis, than the same period in the prior year excluding the impact of acquisitions.  Prosthetics revenue growth during the quarter benefited from the timing of patient deliveries, which generally shifted from the first quarter into the second quarter when compared with the same periods in the prior year.  We believe that a change in the timing of our annual first quarter clinician education conference within the first quarter and harsh weather in certain regions of the country contributed to this shift.  Orthotics, shoes, inserts, and other products increased by 1.6% on a per-day basis for the same comparative periods excluding the impact of acquisitions.

Products & Services net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $49.9 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 2.3% from $48.8 million for the same period in the prior year.  This increase was comprised of $3.0 million, or 8.6%, growth from the distribution of O&P componentry to independent providers as the result of new products added to the portfolio, offset by a $1.9 million, or 13.1%, decrease in net revenue from therapeutic solutions as a result of continued net client cancellations.  In future periods, we anticipate moderation of near-term Products & Services segment growth due primarily to a continuation of these therapeutic solutions revenue trends.

Material costs.  Material costs for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $91.4 million, an increase of $4.9 million or 5.6%, from $86.5 million for the same period in the prior year.  Total material costs as a percentage of net revenue increased to 32.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 32.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to changes in our Product & Services segment business mix.  Material costsrevenues by operating segment, after elimination of intersegment activity, were as follows:

Personnel costs for the Patient Care segment were $78.4Same clinic revenues decreased $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $1.6 million, or 2.1%, from $76.8 million compared to the same period in the prior year.  The increase in Patient Care personnel costs during the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily related to an increase in salary expense of $0.7 million, an increase in bonus of $0.7 million, and an increase in payroll taxes of $0.2 million when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Personnel costs in the Products & Services segment were $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $0.3 million compared to the same period in the prior year.  Salary expense increased $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior year as the result of the transfer of personnel between segments.

Other operating costs.  Other operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $33.7 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 10.5%, from $30.5 million for the same period in the prior year.  Bad debt expense increased $0.8 million due to recoveries in the same period of the prior year, rent expense increased $0.6 million from new, renewed, and acquired leases, other occupancy costs increased $0.6 million from higher sales and use tax, professional fees increased $0.5 million due to investments made in certain revenue cycle management initiatives, and other expenses increased $0.7 million as compared to the same period in the prior year.

General and administrative expenses.  General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $29.4 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 10.7%, from the same period in the prior year.  This includes a $2.0 million increase in other expenses, largely due to favorable settlements of $2.2 million in the prior year.  Salary expense increased $0.7 million and benefits expense increased $0.6 million, and advertising & selling and other expenses decreased $0.5 million as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Professional accounting and legal fees.  Professional accounting and legal fees for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $3.2 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 23.3%, from $4.2 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to decreased utilization of professional fees to assist in the remediation of our material weaknesses, to regain our timely filing status with the SEC, and to undertake related activities.

Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $8.8 million, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 5.5%, from $9.3 million for the same period in the prior year.  Amortization expense decreased $0.8 million when compared to the prior period as a result of certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized prior to the second quarter of 2019.

Interest expense, net.  Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $8.5 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 15.9%, from $7.3 million for the same period in the prior year.  This change is due to a decrease of $1.5 million in the prior year related to our settlement of outstanding abandoned and unclaimed property claims with the State of Delaware in a manner that did not require us to pay interest we had accrued on long standing unpaid claim amounts.  The offsetting decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates on outstanding borrowings arising from our debt refinancing in March 2018.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes.  The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $4.4 million, or 30.5% of income before income taxes, compared to a benefit of $0.1 million, or (0.7)% of income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The effective tax rate in 2019 consists principally of the 21% federal statutory tax rate, the rate impact from state income taxes, the windfall from stock-based compensation, and permanent tax differences.  The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2018 is primarily attributable to the change from the discrete method for interim reporting used during the prior period to using the annualized effective tax rate method in the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increased estimated annual income, and the windfall from stock-based compensation recorded as a discrete item during the period.

Orthotics, shoes, inserts, and other products increaseddecreased by 1.2%5.7% on a per-day basis forcompared to those of the same comparative prior periods, excluding the impact of acquisitions. Revenues were adversely affected during the quarter due to patient appointment cancellations during the last weeks of March in response to governmental suppression measures implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These cancellations resulted in an increase in the number of completed devices held in work-in-process at the end of the first quarter of 2020 as compared with the first quarter of the prior year.

This increasedecrease was comprised of $4.8a $0.8 million, or 6.0%, decrease in net revenues from therapeutic solutions, primarily as a result of the impact of historical customer lease cancellations, partially offset by lease installations in the first quarter of 2020 and a $1.5 million, or 4.5%, decrease from the distribution of O&P componentry to independent providers as the result of new products addedlower volumes due to the portfolio, offsetCOVID-19 pandemic, further discussed in the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above.

In the latter half of March 2020, our business volumes began to be adversely affected by a $3.4 million decreasethe COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that the decline in net revenue from therapeutic solutions asrevenues during the three months ended March 31, 2020 is primarily due to state and local government restrictions, social distancing and suppression measures adopted by our patients and customers, and deferral of elective surgical procedures, which resulted in a resultdecline in physician referrals and cancellation of continued net client cancellations.  We anticipate moderationpatient appointments. These adverse volume effects have extended into April 2020. For additional discussion, refer to the “Effects of near-term Products & Services segment growth due primarily to a continuation of these therapeutic solutions revenue trends.the COVID-19 Pandemic” section.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for sixthe three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared with the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 is primarily attributable to an increased annuala lower estimated pre-tax income impacted more proportionally by nondeductible permanent items for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the prior period, as well as an increase in pre-tax book loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to pre-tax book income for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and the windfall from stock-based compensation recorded as a discrete item during the period.share-based compensation.

 

We evaluate our deferred tax assets quarterly to determine whether adjustments to the valuation allowance are appropriate in light of changes in facts or circumstances, such as changes in expected future pre-tax earnings, tax law, interactions with taxing authorities, and developments in case law. Our material assumptions include forecasts of future pre-tax earnings and the nature and timing of future deductions and income represented by the deferred tax assets and liabilities, all of which involve the exercise of significant judgment. As of March 31, 2020, our valuation allowance approximated $2.1 million.

The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act includes various income tax provisions that affect the Company for which we have recorded $5.4 million to deferred taxes in the current quarter. We continue to examine other aspects of the CARES Act to determine whether other benefits exist that might impact our financial condition.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity

 

To provide cash for our operations and capital expenditures, our immediate source of liquidity is our cash and cash equivalents, and any amounts we have available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility. We refer to the sum of these two amounts as our “liquidity.”

 

At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had total liquidity of $133.0$131.8 million, which reflected a decrease of $56.1$37.5 million from the $189.2$169.2 million in liquidity we had as of December 31, 2018.2019. Our liquidity at June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $38.2$115.9 million and $94.8$15.8 million in available borrowing capacity under our $100.0 million revolving credit facility. This decrease in liquidity primarily relatesrelated to $36.5uses of cash of $37.5 million, comprised of net cash used in operations of $22.0 million, capital expenditures of $8.8 million and other investing and financing activities of $6.7 million, including $1.2 million in liquidity used for the paymentreduction of the annual incentive compensation, tax payments on stock vesting, and the employer 401(k) matching contribution, $27.9 million for acquisitions consummated in 2019,our net of cash acquired, and the remainder attributableindebtedness related to our operational results and changes in working capital.Term Loan B facility. Borrowings of $79.0 million

 

39

under our revolving credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2020 did not have an impact on our overall liquidity, but reduced our available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement to $15.8 million.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, as well as financial covenants, including that the Company maintains compliance with certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. If we are not compliant with our debt covenants in any period, absent a waiver or amendment of our Credit Agreement, we may be unable to access funds inunder our revolving credit facility. Due to the additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility in March 2020 and in anticipation of the potential economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement that provided for, among other things, increases in the allowable level of indebtedness we may carry relative to our earnings, certain restrictions regarding investments and payments we may make until the completion of the first quarter of 2021 and increases in the interest costs associated with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of March 31, 2020.

For additional discussion, please refer to theLiquidity Outlooksection below.

 

Working Capital and Days Sales Outstanding

 

At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had working capital of $92.3$163.1 million compared to working capital of $154.6$107.2 million at December 31, 2018.2019. Our working capital decreased $62.3increased $55.9 million infor the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 due to an increase in current assets of $16.5 million and a decrease in current liabilities of $39.3 million.

The increase in current assets was primarily attributable to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $51.6$41.5 million, which is due to borrowings of $79.0 million under our revolving credit facility, which does not require repayment until March 2023, and an increase in current liabilitiesincome tax receivables of $10.7$4.4 million, which relates to income tax relief under the CARES Act enacted in March 2020. These increases were offset by the uses of cash of $37.5 million discussed in theLiquidity section above and a decrease in accounts receivable of $30.5 million.

 

The decrease in current assets was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $56.9 million and the reclassification of prepaid rent of $3.8 million to the current portion of long-term debt upon adoption of ASC 842, historically recorded in other current assets.  The decrease in cash primarily relates to the uses of cash discussed in the liquidity section above.  The decreases were offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventory of $4.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively, which were partially attributable to acquisitions.

The increase in current liabilities was primarily attributable to the adoption of ASC 842 and recognition of operating lease liabilities, resulting in an increase of $30.6 million at June 30, 2019, partially offset by a net decrease in accrued incentive compensation related costs of $17.8$38.2 million relatedprimarily due to the payment of $34.2 million in annual inventive compensation tax payments on stock vesting, and the employer 401(k) matching contribution made during the first quarter of the year, offset by current year activity.year. The remainder of the decrease is attributable to other changes in current liabilities.

 

Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) is a calculation that approximates the average number of days between the billing for our services and the date of our receipt of payment, which we estimate using a 90-day rolling period of net revenue. This computation can provide a relative measure of the effectiveness of our billing and collections activities. Clinics acquired during the past 90-day period are excluded from the calculation. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our DSO was 4750 days, which comparedcompares to a

DSO of 4552 days as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. One-time administrative billing changes and the impact of implementing our patient management and electronic health system in certain of our largest operating regions contributed to collection delays during the quarter, which we believe to be temporary.  Asimpacting our DSO as of March 31, 2019, the implementation of the new patient management and electronic health record system was complete.2019.

This comparative decrease was primarily due primarily to a $17.8 million increase in cash provided by net accounts receivable, which is largely attributable to increased Accounts receivable, net and Net revenues of $15.4 million and $16.0 million, respectively, as of and for the uses of cash and changes in working capitalthree months ended December 31, 2019, versus the comparable period in the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared toprior year.

Effect of Indebtedness

 

On March 6, 2018 we entered into a new Credit Agreement in order to refinance our indebtedness, and isas disclosed in Note ML - Debt,“Debt and Other Obligations,” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report. Our indebtedness bears reduced rates of interest compared with thosethe indebtedness under our prior indebtedness,credit agreement, and as such, interest expense iswas lower for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Cash paid for interest totaled $14.9$7.5 million and $16.6$7.7 million for the sixthree months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

In May 2020, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) that provided for, amongst other things, an increase in the maximum Net Leverage Ratio to 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 20192020 through March 31, 2021; 5.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2021 through September 30, 2021; and 2018, respectively.4.75 to 1.00 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. In addition, the Amendment changed the definition of EBITDA used in the Net Leverage Ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio to adjust for declines in net revenue attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the greater of LIBOR or 1.00%, plus 3.75%. In addition, the Amendment contained certain restrictions and covenants that further limit our ability, and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability, to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, or consummate acquisitions not financed with the proceeds of an equity offering, except that certain acquisitions are permitted after September 30, 2020, in the event we maintain certain leverage and liquidity thresholds.

Liquidity Outlook and Going Concern Evaluation

 

Our Credit Agreement has a term loan facility with $499$494.9 million in principal outstanding at June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, due in quarterly principal installments equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of $505$505.0 million, commencing June 29, 2018, with all remaining outstanding principal due at maturity in March 2025, and a revolving credit facility with no$79.0 million in borrowings and a maximum aggregate amountavailable borrowing capacity of availability of $100$15.8 million at June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 that matures in March 2023.

We currently anticipate thatchose to borrow $79.0 million from our revolving credit facility in connection with our planned reconfigurationMarch 2020 to preserve access to these funds in the event of distribution facilitiesfurther instability in 2020 that we will incur a significant increase in our capital expenditures for our internal supply chain organization.  Additionally, we planfinancial markets due to spend a significant amount of cash in connection with the implementation of our new financial and supply chain systems during 2020.  The amounts of these expenditures has not been firmly established at this time.COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Nevertheless, based on

41

Historically, our rangeprimary sources of estimates of the costs for our reconfiguration of distribution facilitiesliquidity are cash and our financialcash equivalents, and supply chain systems implementations, as well as our estimates of potential expenditures for the acquisition of O&P providers, we currently believe that our anticipated operating trends when combined with available borrowings under our revolving credit facilityfacility. Due to the economic and social activity impacts outlined in the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above, we expect that the resulting disruption will have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations, financial condition, and results of operations. While we believe the business disruption will be temporary, we cannot predict the extent or duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, when state and local restrictions will be lifted or when patients will resume their normal healthcare treatment activities. In response to the expected decline in cash flows from operations, the Company has implemented certain cost mitigation and liquidity management strategies including, but not limited to, reductions in componentry purchases, salary reductions for all exempt employees, the furloughing of certain employees, reductions in non-exempt employee hours, reductions in bonus and commission expenses, the temporary reduction in operating hours and days of clinics, reducing other operating expenses, deferring the implementation of our New Systems Implementations, temporarily delaying the Company’s acquisition of O&P providers, and extending the payment terms for certain vendors. These measures have been taken in an effort to preserve liquidity in a manner sufficient to provide us with sufficient liquidityfor the Company's ability to meetrespond to the adverse cash flow pressures likely to be caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Please refer to the "Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic" section above for our financial obligations duringcurrent estimates of the coming twelve months.amounts of operating and capital expenditure reductions provided through these measures.

 

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, the Company received $15.8 million in government grants (the “Grant”) under the CARES Act to compensate for health-care related expenses and lost revenues associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The terms and conditions of the Grant require the Company to certify the proceeds received under the Grant are for health-care related expenses or lost revenues attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as certain administrative reporting requirements related to the use of proceeds from the Grant. In addition, the CARES Act allows Companies to defer paying the employer portion of applicable payroll taxes from the effective date of the CARES Act through December 31, 2020. The total amount of the deferral would be due in two equal installments on December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022. Under this provision of the CARES Act, the Company expects to defer payment of approximately $10.9 million in payroll taxes.

While we currently do not anticipate the need to do so, if the COVID-19 pandemic causes adverse cash flow and liquidity trends greater than those we currently expect and have planned for, we may find it necessary to seek additional borrowings to fund our operations. If we were to do so, given current credit market conditions, we may find that such additional borrowings are not available at that time, and if they are available, that the interest costs of such borrowings and effects on the costs of our existing borrowings could be significantly higher than the costs we currently pay under our existing Credit Agreement. Additionally, while we do not currently have the need or intention to do so, if necessary the Company may extend its accounts payable and payment of other obligations to address any such funding shortage.

Going Concern Evaluation

During each financial reporting period, in accordance with ASU 2014-15,DisclosureDisclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern requires(“ASU 2014-15”), we perform an assessment of whether conditions exist that we evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about our ability to meet our financial obligations when they become due during the twelve month period from the date these financial statements are available to be issued.  We have performed such an evaluation and, based on the results of that assessment, we are not aware of any relevant conditions or events thatcould raise substantial doubt regarding ourthe Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one yearconcern. Commensurate with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we developed projections to evaluate the possible adverse impact that decreases in business volumes caused by the pandemic could have on our financial condition. Those projections, when combined with additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility, indicated that the Company could become non-compliant with the net leverage ratio financial covenant of its Credit Agreement as early as the second quarter of 2020. In connection with those projections, as discussed in the ‘Liquidity Outlook’ section, the Company implemented a number of cost mitigation and liquidity management strategies in late March and early April 2020. In addition, and as discussed in the ‘Liquidity’ section, in May 2020 the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement that increased its allowable maximum net leverage ratio covenant for the term of the Credit Agreement. This amendment is further discussed in Note L - “Debt and Other Obligations.” While the Company cannot forecast with certainty the ultimate extent of the impacts from or the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, or the degree to which the cost mitigation and liquidity management strategies it has implemented will offset declines in its cash flows caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we currently believe that these measures, when accompanied if necessary by additional funding sources, if available, and further cost reduction actions, will enable us to maintain sufficient liquidity for at least the twelve month period following the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, we have performed our evaluation under ASU 2014-15 and concluded that the financial statements are issued.substantial doubt raised by the forecasted impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been alleviated.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that may or could have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

43

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Our future financial results are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate risk. Our interest expense is sensitive to changes in market interest rates. To manage the impact of the interest rate risk associated with our Credit Agreement, we enter into interest rate swaps from time to time, effectively converting a portion of the cash flows related to variable-rate debt into fixed-rate cash flows.

 

As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had a combined principal amount of $498.7$494.9 million of variable rate debt and a notional amount of $312.5 million of fixed to variable interest rate swap agreements. Based on our hedged and unhedged positions, a hypothetical increase or decrease in interest rates by 1.0% would impact our annual interest expense by $1.9$2.5 million.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2019 because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in Item 9A., “Controls and Procedures”, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ending DecemberMarch 31, 2018, our “2018 Form 10-K”.2020.

 

Although we have not fully remediated the material weaknesses described in our 2018 Form 10-K, we believe that we have made substantial progress on the remediation plans described in our 2018 Form 10-K, under Item 9A., “Controls and Procedures”.

During the period ending June 30, 2019, we continued to make improvements to controls in the areas of inventory; accounts payable; information technology general controls; revenue; and accounts receivable and are continuing our evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness of these controls.  The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a period of time sufficient for management to conclude, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Securities and Derivative Litigation

 

In November 2014, a securities class action complaint, City of Pontiac General Employees’ Retirement System v. Hanger, et al., C.A. No. 1:14-cv-01026-SS, was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas.  The complaint named us and certain of our current and former officers for allegedly making materially false and misleading statements regarding, inter alia, our financial statements, RAC audit success rate, the implementation of new financial systems, same-store sales growth, and the adequacy of our internal processes and controls.  The complaint alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.  The complaint sought unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief.Derivative Litigation

 

On April 1, 2016, the court granted our motion to dismiss the lawsuit for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, and permitted plaintiffs to file an amended complaint.  On July 1, 2016, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint.  On September 15, 2016, we and certain of the individual defendants filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit.  On January 26, 2017, the court granted the defendants’ motions and dismissed with prejudice all claims against all defendants for failure to state a claim.  On February 24, 2017, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  On August 6, 2018, the Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part.  The Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the case against individual defendants Vinit Asar, our current President and Chief Executive Officer, and Thomas Kirk, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, but reversed the dismissal of the case against George McHenry, our former Chief Financial Officer, and Hanger, Inc.  On August 20, 2018, Hanger, Inc. and George McHenry filed a petition for panel rehearing and a petition for rehearing en banc with the Court of Appeals.  On April 10, 2019, the Court of Appeals granted the petition for panel rehearing, withdrew its previous panel decision, and substituted a new panel decision in its place that affirmed the District Court’s dismissal with prejudice of all claims against all the defendants for failure to state a claim.  Plaintiffs did not petition the Court of Appeals for a panel rehearing or a rehearing en banc, and did not file a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.  Therefore, the April 10, 2019 Court of Appeals ruling affirming the dismissal of all claims with prejudice against all defendants is now final.

In February and August of 2015, two separate shareholder derivative suits were filed in Texas state court against us related to the announced restatement of certain of our financial statements. The cases were subsequently consolidated intoJudy v. Asar, et. al.,Cause No. D-1-GN-15-000625.On October 25, 2016, plaintiffs in that action filed an amended complaint, and the case is currently pending before the 459th345th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas.

 

The amended complaint in the consolidated derivative action names us and certain of our current and former officers and directors as defendants. It alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty based,inter alia, on the defendants’ alleged failure to exercise good faith to ensure that we had in place adequate accounting and financial controls and that disclosures regarding our business, financial performance and internal controls were truthful and accurate. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief.

 

As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 6, 2016, the Board of Directors appointed a Special Litigation Committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”). The Board delegated to the Special Committee the authority to (1) determine whether it is in our best interests to pursue any of the allegations made in the derivative cases filed in Texas state court (which cases were consolidated into theJudycase discussed above), (2) determine whether it is in our best interests to pursue any remedies against any of our current or former employees, officers or directors as a result of the conduct discovered in the Audit Committee investigation concluded on June 6, 2016 (the “Investigation”), and (3) otherwise resolve claims or matters relating to the findings of the Investigation. The Special Committee retained independent legal counsel to assist and advise it in carrying out its duties and reviewed and considered the evidence and various factors relating to our best interests. In accordance with its findings and conclusions, the Special Committee determined that it is not in our best interest to pursue

any of the claims in theJudyderivative case. Also in accordance with its findings and conclusions, the Special Committee determined that it is not in our best interests to pursue legal remedies against any of our current or former employees, officers, or directors.

 

On April 14, 2017, we filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated derivative action based on the resolution by the Special Committee that it is not in our best interest to pursue the derivative claims. Counsel for the derivative plaintiffs opposed that motion and moved to compel discovery. In a hearing held on June 12, 2017, the Travis County courtCourt denied plaintiffs’ motion to compel, and held that the motion to dismiss would be considered only after appropriate discovery was concluded.

 

The plaintiffs subsequently subpoenaed counsel for the Special Committee, seeking a copy of the full report prepared by the Special Committee and its independent counsel. Counsel for the Special Committee, as well as our counsel, took the position that the full report is not discoverable under Texas law. Plaintiffs’ counsel filed a motion to compel the Special Committee’s counsel to produce the report. We opposed the motion. On July 20, 2018, the Travis County courtCourt ruled that only a redacted version of the report is discoverable, and counsel for the Special Committee provided a redacted version of the report to plaintiffs’ counsel. Plaintiffs objected to the redacted version of the report, and on February 4, 2019, the Travis County courtCourt appointed a Special Master to review plaintiffs’ objections to the redacted report. On March 22, 2019, the Special Master submitted a report to the Travis County courtCourt recommending that the court order that the entire Special Committee report be produced. On April 2, 2019 we filed an objection to the Special Master’s report and recommendation, and requested a hearing on the matter. On June 25, 2019, the Travis County courtCourt rejected the recommendation of the Special Master, and instead ordered that only a limited additional portion of the Special Committee report should be unredacted.made available to plaintiffs. On July 10, 2019, the updated redacted Special Committee report was provided to plaintiffs through their counsel.  Upon completion

In late October 2019, a non-binding agreement in principle was reached by the parties to settle the consolidated derivative action, the parties entered into a definitive settlement agreement in late December 2019, and in January 2020 the Travis County court issued an order providing preliminary approval of discovery, we intendthe settlement and ordering that notice of the settlement be made to file a motion to dismissthe

46

Company’s shareholders. On March 10, 2020, the Travis County court issued an order providing final approval of the settlement and dismissing with prejudice the consolidated derivative action.

 

Management intends to continue to vigorously defend against the shareholder derivative action.  At this time, if the derivative action were to go to trial, we cannot predict how the Travis County Court will rule on the merits of the claims and/or the scope of the potential loss in the event of an adverse outcome.  Should we ultimately be found liable, the resulting damages could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or our results of operations.

Other Matters

 

From time to time we are subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of our operations.

 

We are in a highly regulated industry and receive regulatory agency inquiries from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including inquiries relating to our billing activities. No assurance can be given that any discrepancies identified during a regulatory review will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

 

Our business and financial results are subjectIn addition to numerous risks and uncertainties.  The risk and uncertainties have not changed materially from those reported in Item 1A., “Risk Factors”, in our 2018 Form 10-K, which are incorporated by reference.  For additionalthe other information regarding risks and uncertainties, see the information provided under the header “Forward Looking Statements” contained in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operationsset forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In the first quarter of 2020, we identified the following additional risk factor, which supplements those discussed in our Form 10-K:

 

The Company’s financial condition and results of operations for fiscal year 2020 and beyond may be materially adversely affected by the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has evolved into a global pandemic. The coronavirus has spread to many regions of the world, including the United States. The full extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will impact our business and operating results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new medical and other information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions by governmental entities or others to contain it or treat its impact.

To date, we have experienced a significant reduction in the number of patients that we are treating in our patient care clinics.  A significant portion of this decline has been due to patients determining voluntarily to wait for various reasons, including concerns regarding their own health and safety, for appointments and procedures, both with us and with their referring physicians, that the patient deems to be non-urgent or otherwise able to be deferred or postponed. In response to this decline in patients, in certain areas we have reduced our operating hours or temporarily closed certain of our clinics.

We believe that these patient volume declines primarily reflect a deferral of healthcare services utilization to a later period, rather than a permanent reduction in demand for our services. Given the general necessity of the services that our patient care clinics provide, we anticipate that this deferral of services may create a backlog of demand in the future, in addition to the resumption of historically normal activity; however, there is no assurance that either will occur.  We may also require an increased level of working capital if we experience extended billing and collection cycles as a result of displaced employees, delayed reimbursement by governmental or private payers, delayed revenue cycle management procedures, or otherwise.  We may also face a shortage in products within our supply chain now or in the future, which could impact our ability to service our patients in our clinics on a timely basis or at all.

Our management of the impact of COVID-19 has and will continue to require significant investment of time from our management and employees, as well as resources across our enterprise. The focus on managing and mitigating the impacts of COVID-19 on our business may cause us to divert or delay the application of our resources toward existing or new initiatives or investments, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Further, the impacts of COVID-19 have caused significant uncertainty and volatility in the credit markets. If our access to capital were to become significantly constrained, or if costs of capital increased significantly due the impact of COVID-19 including, volatility in the capital markets, a reduction in our credit ratings or other factors, then our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

The foregoing and other continued disruptions to our business as a result of COVID-19 has had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition during 2020 and potentially in future years.
