HANGER, INC.

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 two2 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, 20192020 (the “2019“2020 Form 10-K”), as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (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 20192020 Form 10-K.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain amounts in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements to be consistent with the current year presentation. These relate to classifications within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Developments Regarding COVID-19

We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result 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 highlyremain uncertain and difficult to predict, aspredict. As a result of the response to theCOVID-19 pandemic, is in its developing stages and information is rapidly evolving. Wewe 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 isIt remains possible that itfurther outbreaks of COVID-19, or reinstitution of restrictive measures by federal, state and local governments could cause a recessionary environment impacting the healthcare andindustry generally, including the 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 customers, is unknown. The United States government has responded with fiscal policy measures intended to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole, including the passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) in March 2020. We

CARES Act

The CARES Act established the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, also referred to as the Cares Act Provider Relief Fund, which set aside $178.0 billion to be administered through grants and other mechanisms to hospitals, public entities, not-for-profit entities and Medicare- and Medicaid- enrolled suppliers and institutional providers. The purpose of these funds is to reimburse providers for lost revenue and health-care related expenses that are currently evaluating provisionsattributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) began making payments to healthcare providers from the $178.0 billion appropriation. These are grants, rather than loans, to healthcare providers, and will not need to be repaid.

Table of Contents

During 2020, we recognized a total benefit of $24.0 million in our consolidated statement of operations within Other operating costs for the grant proceeds we received under the CARES Act (“Grants”) from HHS. We recognize income related to grants on a systematic and other governmental policiesrational basis when it becomes probable that we have complied with the terms and their impact on our business; however,conditions of the magnitudegrant and overall effectiveness to us andin the economy as a whole remains uncertain.

During each financial reporting period in accordance with ASU 2014-15,Disclosureswhich the corresponding costs or income related to the grant are recognized. We recognized the benefit from the Grants within Other operating costs in our Patient Care segment.

The CARES Act also provides for a deferral of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), we perform an assessmentthe employer portion of whether conditions exist that could raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Commensurate with the onset ofpayroll taxes incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic we developed projectionsthrough December 2020. The provisions allow us to evaluatedefer half of such payroll taxes until December 2021 and 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 covenantremaining half until December 2022. We deferred $11.8 million 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 liquidity management strategies in late March and early April 2020, primarilypayroll taxes within Accrued compensation 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 the term of the Credit Agreement. This amendment is further discussed in Note L - “Debtcosts and Other Obligations.”

6

Accordingly, we have performed our evaluation under ASU 2014-15 and concluded that the substantial doubt raised by the forecasted impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been alleviated.

The extent and the severity of the impact 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 duration of state and local government restrictions impacting our patient's ability or willingness to visit our clinics and those of our distribution services business customers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted. Our future results of operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by delays in patient and customer payments, uncertain demandliabilities 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 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.balance sheet as of March 31, 2021.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting 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. The adoption of this standard on 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. There 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, effective beginning on March 12, 2020, provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying 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 LIBORLondon Interbank Offered Rate (“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 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, and related clarifying standards, will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

Note B — Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus any potentially dilutive common shares, such as stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based units calculated using the treasury stock method. Total anti-dilutive shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share were 3,471 and 0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Our Credit Agreement (as defined below) restricts the payment of dividends or other distributions to our shareholders with respect to the parent companyby us or any of itsour subsidiaries. See Note LK - “Debt and Other Obligations” within these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note C — Revenue Recognition

Patient Care Segment

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”), andor 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 charges, net of contractual discounts, sales returns, and other implicit price concessions including estimates for payor disallowances and patient non-payments.

Table of Contents

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our trade receivables.accounts receivable. 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,receivables, 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.

As part of the new accounting standard discussed in Note A - “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” the Company'sOur 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'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 recorded, which is deducted from gross accounts receivable to arrive at “Accounts receivable, net.” As of March 31, 2020,2021, we have considered the current and future economic and market conditions including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in an increasea decrease to the allowance for doubtful accounts by approximately $2.0$0.2 million since December 31, 2019.2020.

Note F — Property, Plant,Acquisitions

2021 Acquisition Activity

In the first quarter of 2021, we completed the acquisitions of all the outstanding equity interests of three O&P businesses and Equipment, Netthe assets of one O&P business for total consideration of $24.2 million, of which $19.2 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, $4.0 million was issued in the form of notes to shareholders at fair value, and $1.0 million in additional consideration.

Property,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. We based the estimated fair values of intangible assets on 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 cost for acquired property, plant, and equipment, net were comprisedequipment. For all other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the fair value reflects the carrying value of the following:asset or liability due to their short maturity. We recorded the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred in the acquisitions over the fair value of net assets acquired 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 the majority of Goodwill, which has been assigned to our Patient Care reporting unit, will not be deductible for federal income tax purposes. The amount of tax deductible Goodwill acquired in these transactions was not material.

Acquisition-related costs incurred for the acquisitions completed during the three months ended March 31, 20202021 was $0.2 million.

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 individually or in the aggregate.

Purchase Price Allocation

We have performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of the assets acquired and 2019.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.

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

20192020 Acquisition Activity

During 2019,2020, 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 patient care offerings through the acquisitions of high quality O&P providers.flows:

In the 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 was additional consideration.
In the second quarter of 2020, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of an O&P business for total consideration of $46.2 million at fair value, of which $16.8 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, $21.9 million was issued in the form of notes to the former shareholders, $3.5 million in the form of a deferred payment obligation to the former shareholders, and $4.0 million in additional consideration. Of the $21.9 million in notes issued to the former shareholders, approximately $18.1 million of the notes were paid in October 2020 in a lump sum payment and the remaining $3.8 million of the notes are payable in annual installments over a period of three years on the anniversary date of the acquisition. Total payments of $4.0 million under the deferred payment obligation are due in annual installments beginning in the fourth year following the acquisition and for three years thereafter. Additional consideration includes approximately $3.6 million in liabilities incurred to the shareholders as part of the business combination payable in October 2020 and is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The remaining $0.4 million in additional consideration represents the effective settlement of amounts due to us from the acquired O&P business as of the acquisition date.

Note HG — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We assess goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as 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

11

Table 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.Contents

Note KJ — Income Taxes

We recorded a benefit for income taxes of $1.9$2.2 million and $3.7$1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and March 31, 2019, respectively.2020. The effective tax rate was 10.5%39.3% and 35.0%10.5% for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,March 31, 2020, respectively.

The decreaseincrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 compared with the three months ended March 31, 20192020 is primarily attributable to a lowerhigher estimated annual pre-tax income impacted moreless proportionally by nondeductible permanent items for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 as compared to the prior period, as well as an increase inperiod. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to research and development credits, non-deductible expenses, and windfall from share-based compensation. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses.expenses and windfall from share-based compensation.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we completed a formal study to identify qualifying research and development expenses resulting in the recognition of Federal tax benefits of $2.2 million, net of tax reserves, related to 2020 and $6.1 million, net of tax reserves, related to prior years. We recorded the tax benefit, before tax reserves, as a deferred tax asset. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we estimate a Federal tax benefit of $3.0 million, net of tax reserves.

The CARES Act, which was signed into lawenacted on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act2020, includes various incomechanges to certain tax provisions that affectlaws related to the Company, for which we have recorded $5.4 milliondeductibility of interest expense and depreciation, as well as the provision to carryback net operating losses to five preceding years. ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred taxestax balances to be recognized in the current quarter. We continue to examine other aspectsperiod in which the legislation is enacted. As a result of the CARES Act provisions, for the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized a tax benefit of $4.0 million resulting from the loss carryback claim to determine whether other benefits are available.a prior period with a higher statutory rate, which also decreased our current income taxes payable by $17.2 million as of December 31, 2020.

Refinancing of Credit Agreement and Term B Borrowings

On March 6, 2018, we entered into a new $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 March 31, 2020.2021. 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$94.8 million in available borrowing capacity under our $100.0 million revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2020.2021.

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 March 31, 2020,2021, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our Term Loan B facility was approximately 5.3%3.6%. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge certain of our interest rate exposures, as more fully disclosed in Note N -M – “Derivative Financial Instruments.”

Table of Contents

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)(i) requirements that we maintain certain financial ratios at prescribed levels, ii)(ii) a prohibition on payment of dividends and other distributions and iii)(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 (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 4.754.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended 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 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 toin the maximum Net Leverage Ratio to 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quartersquarter 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. We capitalized debt issuance costs of $0.2 million in connection with the Amendment, which were recorded in Other assets.

We were in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2021.

Seller Notes and the Deferred Payment Obligation

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 $0.4$0.9 million as of March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, 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 2.50%2.70% to 3.00%. Principal and interest are payable in quarterly or annual installments and mature through October 2024.February 2026.

Amounts due under the deferred payment obligation to the former shareholders of an acquired O&P business are unsecured and presented net of unamortized discount of $0.5 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The deferred payment obligation was measured at its estimated fair value as of the acquisition date and accrues interest at a rate of 3.0%. Principal and interest payments under the deferred payment obligation are due in annual installments beginning in 2024 and for three years thereafter.

Note ML — 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, 20202021 (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $7.9$6.1 million) was $494.9$489.9 million compared to its fair value of $420.7$488.0 million. The carrying value of our outstanding term loan as of December 31, 20192020 (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $8.3$6.5 million) was $496.2$491.1 million compared to its fair value of $497.4$489.9 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.

The Company hasWe have interest rate swap agreements 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 LK - “Debt and Other Obligations” and Note NM - “Derivative Financial Instruments” for further information.

The carrying value of our outstanding Seller Notes issued in connection with acquisitions as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $7.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively. We believe that the carrying value of the Seller Notes and the deferred payment obligation 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. The carrying value of our outstanding Seller Notes and the deferred payment obligation issued in connection with past acquisitions as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $18.0 million and $14.6 million, net of unamortized discounts of $0.9 million, respectively.

Note NM — Derivative Financial Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

In March 2018, we entered into 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. As of March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, our swaps, had a notional value outstanding of $312.5 million.$287.5 million and $300.0 million, respectively.

The 2019 Plan authorizes the issuance of (a) up to 2,025,000 shares of Common Stock, plus (b) 243,611 shares available for issuance under the Hanger, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). Upon approval of the 2019 Plan, the 2016 Plan was no longer available for future awards.

On May 19, 2017, the Board of Directors approved the Hanger, Inc. Special Equity Plan (the “Special Equity Plan”). The Special Equity Plan authorized up to 1.5 million shares of Common Stock and operates completely independent from our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan. All awards under the Special Equity Plan were made on May 19, 2017, which consisted of 0.8 million stock options and 0.3 million performance-based stock awards. No further grants of awards will be authorized or issued under the Special Equity Plan.

As of March 31, 2020,2021, there were 1,817,2901,459,779 unvested restricted stock awards outstanding. This was comprised of 1,132,3131,058,024 employee service-based awards with a weighted average grant date fair value of $19.21$21.26 per share, 629,225331,132 employee performance-based awards with a weighted average grant date fair value of $19.08$21.51 per share, and 55,75270,623 director service-based awards with a weighted average grant date value of $20.10$17.07 per share. As of March 31, 2020,2021, there were 523,105487,264 outstanding options not-yet exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $12.77 and average remaining contractual term of 7.15.3 years.

We recognized a total of approximately $3.5$3.2 million and $3.3$3.5 million of share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. Share-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, relates to restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and stock options.

Note PO — 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 fifteen15 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 change in net benefit cost and obligation during the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 20192020 is as follows:

Change in Benefit Obligation:   
(in thousands) 2020  2019

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 March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the estimated accumulated obligation benefit is $3.9$4.9 million and $4.5 million, of which $3.7$4.7 million and $3.3$4.0 million is funded and $0.2 million and $0.6$0.5 million is unfunded at March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, 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 IH - “Other Current Assets and Other Assets” for additional information.

Note QP — 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

Derivative Litigation

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 345th 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 sought 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 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.

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 the settlement and ordering that notice of the settlement be made to the 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.

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 RQ — Segment and Related Information

We have identified two2 operating segments and both performance evaluation and resource allocation decisions are determined based on each segment’s income from operations. The operating segments are described further below:below.

Patient Care - This segment consists of (i) our owned and operated patient care 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;
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 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;
Medicare, a federally funded health insurance program providing health insurance coverage for persons aged 65 or older and certain persons with disabilities, which provides reimbursement for O&P products and services based on prices set forth in published fee schedules (generally with either 10 regional pricing areas or state level prices) for prosthetics and orthotics and by state for durable medical equipment (DMEPOS);

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

the VA.
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 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 leases 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.

20

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 and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 20192020 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 SR — Subsequent Events

In April 2020,2021, we completedentered into a definitive share purchase agreement in connection with the acquisition of an O&P business for a total purchase price of $50.4$22.0 million. The total consideration transferred in the acquisition is composed of $20.0 million in cash consideration, $22.4 million in the form of notes 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 shareholders, approximately $18.4 million of the notes are payable in a 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 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 these transactionsthis transaction 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 acquired and liabilities assumed in thethis acquisition.

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,injuries, and we and our predecessor companies have provided O&P services for over 150nearly 160 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 694718 patient care clinics and 110107 satellite locations in 46 states and the District of Columbia as of March 31, 2020.2021. 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 engage in the distribution of a broad catalog of O&P parts, componentry, and devices to independent O&P providers nationwide. 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 4,0003,900 skilled nursing and post-acute providers nationwide.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our net revenues were $237.5 million and we recorded net loss of $3.3 million. For the three months ended 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 $236.4 million and we recorded net loss of $7.0 million.

Industry Overview

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

The O&P patient care services market in the United States is highly fragmented and is characterized by regional and local independent O&P businesses operated predominantly by independent operators, but also including two O&P product manufacturers with substantial international patient care services operations. We do not believe that any single competitor accounts for 2% or more than approximately 2% of the nation’s total estimated O&P 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$1.8 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 supplies our own patient care clinics.services. We estimate that our distribution sales account for approximately 8%9% 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%24% 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 1,5501,600 clinical prosthetists, orthotists, and pedorthists, which we refer to as clinicians, substantially all of which are certified by either the American Board for Certification (“ABC”) 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,We utilize multiple scanning and imaging technologies in the fabrication process, depending on the patient’s individual needs, including our proprietary Insignia scanning system is used in the fabrication process.system. 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;
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;

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

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

Medicaid, a health insurance program jointly funded by federal and state governments providing health insurance coverage for certain persons requiring financial assistance, regardless of age, which may supplement Medicare benefits for persons aged 65 or older requiring financial 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 reimbursed for our services. These contracts usually have a stated term of one to three years 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 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 known 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, Zone Program Integrity Contractor (“ZPIC”) audits, Supplemental Medical Review Contractor (“SMRC”) audits, and Universal Payment Identification CodeUnified Program Integrity Contractor (“UPIC”) audits. TPE audits are generally pre-payment audits, while RAC, CERT, ZPIC, and SMRC 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.

Products & Services

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Prosthetic Supply, Inc. (“SPS”), we distribute O&P components to independent O&P clinics and other customers. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Accelerated Care Plus Corp. (“ACP”), our therapeutic solutions business is a leading provider of rehabilitation technologies and integrated clinical programs to skilled nursing and post-acute 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 consultative education and training. Our services support increasingly advanced treatment options for a broader patient population and more medically complex conditions. We currently serve approximately 4,0003,900 skilled nursing and post-acute providers nationwide. Through our SureFit subsidiary, we also manufacture and sell therapeutic footwear for diabetic patients in the podiatric market. We also operate the Hanger Fabrication Network, which fabricates custom O&P devices for our patient care clinics, as well as for independent O&P clinics.

Through our internal “supply chain” organization, we purchase, warehouse, and distribute over 450,000475,000 SKUs from more than 300 different manufacturers through SPS or directly to our own clinics within our Patient Care segment. Our warehousing and

distribution facilities in Nevada, Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Texas provide us with the ability to deliver products to the vast majority of our customers in the United States within two business days. The distribution facility we formerly operated in Pennsylvania ceased operations in September 2020.

Our supply chain organization enables us to:

centralize our purchasing and thus lower our material costs by negotiating purchasing discounts from manufacturers;

better manage our patient care clinic inventory levels and improve inventory turns;

improve inventory quality control;

encourage our patient care clinics to use the most clinically appropriate products; and

coordinate new product development efforts with key vendors.

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Beginning in the last weeks of March 2020, our business 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 pauseddelayed certain capital investment projects. TheseAlthough our business volumes have shown gradual improvement from their initial significant decline in mid- 2020, the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business has continued through the first quarter of 2021. As a result, our comparative financial and operational results when viewed as a whole for the periods impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including temporary cost reduction measures largely in place during the second and third quarters of 2020, may not be indicative of future financial and operational performance. The 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

Patient appointments in our clinics during the first quarter of 2021 declined by approximately 3% as compared to the corresponding period in 2020. During the month of April 2020, patient appointment volumes inquarter, our Patient Care clinics decreasedprosthetics and orthotics day-adjusted sales, excluding acquisitions, increased by approximately 40% as1.0% and 1.9% respectively, with same clinic revenues increasing by 1.4% on a per day basis, when compared withto 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.prior year. As of the end of April 2020,March 2021, we had temporarily closed 27re-opened all of our patient care clinics, and another 179although 38 clinics were open for reduced hours or by appointment only. We believe the generally more acute nature of conditions that lead to the need for prosthetics and orthotics, the patient age demographics and the relatively greater impact that the absence of access to these devices can have on a patient’s daily life were the primary reasons that have led to the graduated improvement in our business results. Billings for componentry delivered to independent providers of orthotics and prosthetics by the Company'sour distribution services business decreased by approximately 40% as wellremained flat during the monthfirst quarter 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 response2021, as compared to the COVID-19 pandemic.same period in 2020. 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'sour future 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'sour business during April 2020.the periods impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Given thatIn the developmentearly months of 2021, vaccines for combating COVID-19 were authorized by the US Food and Drug Administration, and the US government commenced a clearly effective medical treatment approach for treating COVID-19 does not appear imminent and thatphased roll out of these vaccines. However, the vast majorityinitial quantities of the general populationvaccines were limited, and the US government prioritized distribution to front-line health care workers and other essential workers, followed by individual populations that are most susceptible to the severe effects of COVID-19. Given the United States has not developed natural immunity,continuing impact of restrictions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and unknown challenges with regards to the effectiveness, distribution, and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines, 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 measuresin 2021 when compared 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.pre- pandemic levels.

Nevertheless, we do believe that the overall adverse impact will diminish,of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business volumes has diminished over time, and our patient appointment and other business volumes willcontinue to gradually improve as the prevalence of the virus decreases and social distancing, masking and testing measuresCOVID-19 vaccines become more routine, and the perception of infection risks subside.widely available. 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 ofthen their infection, then their

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 continuecontinued 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

27

Table of certain of our clinics to adapt to changes in patient volumes.Contents

 

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 tovaried from 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 inmodification of bonus, commission, and other variable incentive costs;plans; (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. During the period April 2020 through September 2020, salaries were gradually reinstated, with full reinstatement of all exempt employees’ salaries being effective on September 19, 2020. 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 ofbelieve this year. Our decision to reduce employee wages rather than to implement a more permanent reduction in force was based on our desireapproach allowed us 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 suspenddelayed the implementation of our Supply Chainsupply chain and Financialfinancial systems, further discussed in the “New Systems implementations.Implementations” section. 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. We resumed construction of the Tempe, Arizona fabrication facility in the first quarter of 2021, and anticipate that we will recommence the remaining activities in the second quarter of 2021. These delaysactions to delay activities during 2020 will correspondingly pushdelay our achievement of the financial benefits expected from them into future periods.

We believe theseCARES Act

The CARES Act established the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, also referred to as the Cares Act Provider Relief Fund, which set aside $178.0 billion to be administered through grants and other related measures will reduce our capital expendituresmechanisms to hospitals, public entities, not-for-profit entities and Medicare- and Medicaid- enrolled suppliers and institutional providers. The purpose of these funds is to reimburse providers for lost revenue attributable to the full year, which are comprised of purchases of property, plant and equipment,COVID-19 pandemic, such as lost revenues attributable to canceled procedures, as well as therapeutic program equipment, to provide support for health-care related expenses. In April 2020, HHS began making payments to healthcare providers from the approximate range$178.0 billion appropriation. These are grants, rather than loans, to healthcare providers, and will not need to be repaid.

During 2020, we recognized a total benefit of $30$24.0 million to $35in our consolidated statement of operations within Other operating costs for the grant proceeds we received under the CARES Act from HHS. In April 2021, we received approximately $0.7 million which compares toin additional grant proceeds under the approximately $45 million we originally planned to expend in 2020.CARES Act from HHS.

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 20192020 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 quarterthree months ended March 31, 2021, which resulted in our discontinuing distribution services to them.these customers. 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 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. Within this portion of our business, we have and continue to respond to these historical trends through the expansion of our products and services offerings.

Patient Care constituted 81.4%82.4% and 80.6%81.4% of our net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. Our remaining net revenues were provided by our Products & Services segment which derives its net revenues from commercial transactions with independent O&P providers, healthcare facilities, and other customers. In contrast to net revenues from our Patient Care segment, payment for these products and services are not directly subject to third party reimbursement from health care payors.

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

For example, the Medicare contractor for Pricing, Data Analysis and Coding (referred to as “PDAC”) recently announced verification requirements and code changes that has reduced the reimbursement level for certain prosthetic feet, and the VA is in industry trends have been brought about in part by increased nationwide effortsthe process of reassessing the method it uses to reduce health care costs.determine reimbursement levels for O&P services and products provided under certain miscellaneous codes.

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”(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,

In recent years, we have taken a number of actions to manage disallowed revenuepayor disallowance trends. These initiatives included: (i) the creation of a central revenue cycle management function; (ii) the resolutionimplementation of issues identified in oura 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.

Disallowed revenuePayor disallowances is considered an adjustment to the transaction price. Estimated uncollectible amounts due to us by patients are generally considered implicit price concessions and are presented as a reduction of net revenues. These amounts recorded in net revenues within the Patient Care segment for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 20192020 are as follows:

Acquisitions

We did not complete any acquisitions duringPayor disallowances and patient non-payments as percentage of gross charges both decreased significantly in the first quarter as compared with the first quarter of 2020.the prior year. During 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, we benefited from reductions in claims denials and increases in our rates of collection. This has been due to a variety of factors, including increases in our revenue cycle management staffing and an increased focus on collections and liquidity during a period of reduced business volumes, a possible temporary relaxing of payor review procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic, the benefit of CARES Act funds on the ability of patients to pay their portion of claims and other factors relating to our pre-authorization and documentation procedures for devices. We do not believe this favorable trend will necessarily be sustainable in future periods as the COVID-19 pandemic subsides and patient volumes and resulting revenues increase.

Acquisitions

In the first quarter of 2021, we completed the acquisitions of all the outstanding equity interests of three O&P businesses and the assets of one O&P business for total consideration of $24.2 million, of which $19.2 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, $4.0 million was issued in the form of notes to shareholders at fair value, and $1.0 million in additional consideration.

During 2019,2020, 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:

In the 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 was additional consideration.
In the second quarter of 2020, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of an O&P business for total consideration of $46.2 million at fair value, of which $16.8 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, $21.9 million was issued in the form of notes to the former shareholders, $3.5 million in the form of a deferred payment obligation to the former shareholders, and $4.0 million in additional consideration. Of the $21.9 million in notes issued to the former shareholders, approximately $18.1 million of the notes were paid in October 2020 in a lump sum payment and the remaining $3.8 million of the notes are payable in annual installments over a period of three years on the anniversary date of the acquisition. Total payments of $4.0 million under the deferred payment obligation are due in annual installments beginning in the fourth year following the acquisition and for three years thereafter. Additional consideration includes approximately $3.6 million in liabilities incurred to the shareholders as part of the business combination payable in October 2020 and is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The remaining $0.4 million in additional consideration represents the effective settlement of amounts due to us from the acquired O&P business as of the acquisition date. We completed the acquisition with the intention of expanding the geographic footprint of our patient care offerings through the acquisition of this high quality O&P provider.

In the second quarter of 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 fourth quarter of 2020, we completed the acquisitions of all the outstanding equity interests of four O&P businesses for total consideration of $7.1 million, of which $4.9 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, $1.9 million was issued in the form of notes to shareholders at fair value, and $0.3 million in additional consideration.

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 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.

Acquisition-related costs are included in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Total acquisition-related costs incurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2021 were $0.4 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 three month period ended March 31, 2021 were $0.2 million. Total acquisition-related costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 20192020 were $1.5$0.9 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, 20192020 were $1.0$0.6 million.

33

In response to the expected economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented certain cost mitigation and liquidity management strategies, including the temporary delay of our acquisitions of O&P providers, subject to certain conditions and thresholds in the first amendment to our 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 commenced the design, planning, and initial implementation of new financial and supply chain systems (“New Systems Implementations”), and planned to invest in new servers and software that operate as a part of our technology infrastructure. In connection with our new financial and supply chain systems, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, we have expensed $0.9 million and for the year ended December 31, 2019, we have expensed $2.9 million.

As discussed in the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section, we have elected in 2020 to temporarily delay our New Systems Implementations as part of our efforts to preserve liquidity. We have not set a daterecommenced these activities in the second quarter of 2021.

In connection with our new financial and supply chain systems, for recommencement ofthe three month period ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we expensed $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we expensed $2.6 million. We currently anticipate that we will spend $5.6 million for the full year 2021 on 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.systems.

As of March 31, 2020,2021, we capitalized $4.1$5.5 million of implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements, net of accumulated amortization, and recorded in other current assets and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

EffectPersonnel

While we have traditionally been able to recruit and retain adequate staffing to operate and support our business, our ability to support growth is dependent on our ability to add new personnel. Nevertheless, as many employers are experiencing, we are currently finding it difficult to recruit and retain personnel in certain positions, including clinic front office administrative, distribution center, and fabrication center positions. We may find it necessary to increase wages in these areas in coming quarters if we find that we are unable to attract a sufficient number of Delay in Financial Filingspersonnel.

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):Seasonality

        Balance to be Paid 
For the Three Months Ended Expensed  Paid  in Future Periods 
March 31, 2019  1,649   (2,621)  2,223

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 incur further excess third party professional fees for these purposes in 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 quarter, followed by the second and third quarters, which are somewhat higher and consistent with one another. 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. However, historical seasonality patterns have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and may not be reflective of our prospective financial results and operations. Please refer to the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section for further discussion.

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

these annual events so they can demonstrate their products and otherwise assist in our training process. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted our first virtual education fair in 2021. During the first quarter ofthree months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019, we spent approximately$0.3 million and $2.3 million in each of these two years, on travel and other costs associated with this one-week event.event, respectively. 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 which this event occurs, which contributes to the lower seasonal revenue level we experience during the first quarter of each year.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our 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:

Revenue recognition

Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable, net

Inventories

Business combinations

Income taxes

The use of different estimates, assumptions, or judgments could have a material effect on reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures as of the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. These critical accounting policies are described in more detail in our 20192020 Form 10-K, under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in Note A - “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” contained within these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Same clinic revenues decreased $3.0$3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 20202021. However, on a day-adjusted basis, excluding acquisitions, same clinic revenues increased by 1.4%, as there were two fewer business days in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting a decrease of 3.2% on a per-day basis.2020. Net revenues from acquired clinics and consolidations increased $2.9$9.0 million, and revenues from other services decreased $0.3$0.2 million.

Prosthetics constituted approximately 52% of our total Patient Care revenues for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 51% for the same period in 2019,2020, excluding the impact of acquisitions. Prosthetic revenues for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 were 0.6% lower,1.0% higher, on a per-day basis, than the same period in the prior year, excluding the impact of acquisitions. Orthotics, shoes, inserts, and other products decreasedincreased by 5.7%1.9% on a per-day basis compared to those of the same comparative prior periods, excluding the impact of acquisitions. Revenue growth in the quarter was benefited by decreases in disallowance and patient non-payment rates as compared to the prior year period, please refer to the “Reimbursement Trends” section above for a discussion of these favorable trends. Revenues in the latter half of March 2020 were adversely affected during the quarter due to a decline in patient appointment cancellations duringvolumes as a result of the last weeksonset of March in response tothe COVID-19 pandemic, governmental suppression measures implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These cancellations resulted in an increasepandemic, and other factors impacting our business volumes discussed in the number of completed devices held in work-in-process at the end“Effects of the first quarter of 2020 as compared with the first quarter of the prior year.COVID-19 Pandemic” section.

Products & Services net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 were $43.6$41.8 million, a decrease of $2.3$1.8 million, or 4.9%4.1% from the same period in the prior year. This was primarily attributable to a decrease was comprised of a $0.8$1.0 million, or 6.0%3.3%, decrease in the distribution of O&P componentry to independent providers stemming primarily from there being two fewer business days in the first quarter of 2021 as compared with that of 2020. Within our distribution services, decreases in revenue associated with the discontinuance of providing certain off-the-shelf orthotics to podiatry distributors and reductions in revenue associated with our acquisition of independent orthotics and prosthetic providers were offset by increases in volumes to new customers and the expansion of sales to existing customers of additional componentry items added to our product offerings. In addition, net revenues from therapeutic solutions decreased $0.8 million, or 6.2%, 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 lower volumes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, further discussed in the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above.discounts.

In the latter half of March 2020, our business volumes began to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that the decline in net revenues 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 decline in physician referrals and cancellation of patient appointments. These adverse volume effects have extended into April 2020. For additional discussion, refer to the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section.

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, 2020,2021, our valuation allowance approximatedwas approximately $2.1 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we completed a formal study to identify qualifying research and development expenses resulting in the recognition of Federal tax benefits of $2.2 million, net of tax reserves, related to 2020 and $6.1 million, net of tax reserves, related to prior years. We recorded the tax benefit, before tax reserves, as a deferred tax asset. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we estimate a Federal tax benefit of $3.0 million, net of tax reserves.

We refer to the sum of these two amounts as our “liquidity.”

At March 31, 2020,2021, we had total liquidity of $131.8$165.1 million, which reflected a decrease of $37.5$74.3 million from the $169.2$239.4 million in liquidity we had as of December 31, 2019.2020. Our liquidity at March 31, 20202021 was comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $115.9$70.3 million and $15.8$94.8 million in available borrowing capacity under our $100.0 million revolving credit facility. This decrease in liquidity primarily related to uses ofa decrease in cash of $37.5$74.3 million, comprised of net cash used in operations of $22.0$42.4 million, cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $19.4 million, capital expenditures of $8.8$6.9 million, and other investing andnet cash used in financing activities of $6.7 million, including $1.2 million in liquidity used for$6.4 million.

Working Capital and Days Sales Outstanding

At March 31, 2020,2021, we had working capital of $163.1$100.2 million compared to working capital of $107.2$129.3 million at December 31, 2019.2020. Our working capital increased $55.9decreased $29.0 million forduring the three months ended March 31, 20202021 due to an increasea decrease in current assets of $16.5$79.4 million, andpartially offset by a decrease in current liabilities of $39.3$50.4 million.

The increasedecrease in current assets of $79.4 million was primarily attributable to an increasea decrease in cashCash and cash equivalents of $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 income tax receivables of $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$74.3 million discussed in theLiquidity “Liquidity” section above, and a decrease in accountsAccounts receivable, net of $30.5$10.4 million. The decreases were offset by an increase of approximately $3.1 million in Other current assets and Inventories of $2.2 million.

The decrease in current liabilities of $50.4 million was primarily attributable to a net decrease in accrued incentive compensation related costs of $38.2$36.9 million, primarily due to the payment of $34.2$42.9 million in annual inventiveincentive compensation and the employer 401(k) matching contribution made during the first quarter of the year.

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 March 31, 2020,2021, our DSO was 5045 days, which compares favorably to a DSO of 5250 days as of March 31, 2019. One-time administrative billing changes and2020.

The comparative increase in operating cash flows is primarily attributable to a combination of lower revenues and the acceleration of cash collections of Accounts receivable of $17.1 million, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. This is consistent with the decline in DSO from 50 days as of March 31, 2020 to 45 days as of March 31, 2021. The remaining increase in cash used from netoperating activities primarily related to cash used in operatingthe satisfaction of Accounts payable of $9.3 million and changes in Inventories of $2.4 million, partially offset by an increase in income of $12.4 million during the quarter.

Cash flows used in investing activities of $32.8increased $17.0 million to $25.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This comparative decrease was primarily due 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 three months ended December 31, 2019, versus the comparable period in the prior year. This increase was partially offset by an increase in cash used for the satisfaction of Accrued compensation related costs expenses of $5.2 million and purchase of Other current assets and other assets of $2.6 million.

Effect of Indebtedness

On March 6, 2018, we entered into a new$605.0 million Credit Agreement, which provides for (i) a revolving credit facility with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $100.0 million that matures in order to refinance our indebtedness, as disclosedMarch 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. For additional discussion surrounding the Credit Agreement, see Note LK - “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 the indebtedness under our prior credit agreement, and as such, interest expense was lower for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

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 quartersquarter 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 1.00%, 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 if we do 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.

Historically, ourOur primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Due to the economic and social activity impacts outlined in the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above, we expect that the resultingcontinuing disruption willto have an adverseunfavorable impact on the Company’sour operations, financial condition, and results of operations. While we believe the business disruption will be temporary, we cannot predictduration and extent of the extent or duration ofimpact from the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and liquidity depends on future developments which cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that our existing sources of liquidity, when state and local restrictions will be lifted or when patients will resume their normal healthcare treatment activities. In response to the expected decline incombined with our operating cash flows fromand other measures taken to enhance our liquidity position and cost structure, will continue to allow us to finance our 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 for the Company's ability to respond to the adverse cash flow pressures likely to be caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.foreseeable future. Please refer to the "Effects“Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic"Pandemic” section above for additional discussion.

We anticipate that we will continue to pursue acquisitions and other growth initiatives that provide value to our current estimatesshareholders. We expect to continue to generate positive operating cash flows that, together with our revolving credit facility, will allow us to invest in acquisitions and other growth opportunities to provide value to our shareholders. From time to time, we may seek additional funding through the issuance of the amounts of operatingdebt or equity securities to provide additional liquidity to fund acquisitions aligned with our strategic priorities and capital expenditure reductions provided through these measures.for other general corporate purposes.

The CARES Act was enacted into law in responseestablished the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, also referred to as the Cares Act Provider Relief Fund, which set aside $178.0 billion to be administered through grants and other mechanisms to hospitals, public entities, not-for-profit entities and Medicare- and Medicaid- enrolled suppliers and institutional providers. The purpose of these funds is to reimburse providers for lost revenue and health-care related expenses that are attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, the Company received $15.8U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) began making payments to healthcare providers from the $178.0 billion appropriation.

The CARES Act allows Companies to defer payingalso provides for a deferral of 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, ifincurred during 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 necessarythrough December 2020. The provisions allow us 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 costsdefer half of such borrowingspayroll taxes until December 2021 and effects on the remaining half until December 2022. We deferred $11.8 million of payroll taxes within Accrued compensation related 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,Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), we perform an assessment of whether conditions 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 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 discussedOther liabilities 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 substantial doubt raised by the forecasted impactsbalance sheet as of the COVID-19 pandemic have been alleviated.March 31, 2021.

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.

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 March 31, 2020,2021, we had a combined principal amount of $494.9$489.9 million of variable rate debt under our Term Loan B and revolving credit facility and a notional amount of $312.5$287.5 million of fixed to variable interest rate swap agreements. Based on our hedged and unhedged positions, a hypothetical increase or decrease in interest rates byof 1.0% would impact our annual interest expense by $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 March 31, 2020.2021. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2020.2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no material changes to our internal controls over financial reporting during the period ended March 31, 2020.2021.

Therefore, in accordance with Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, management determined there have been no material changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended March 31, 2020.2021.

PART II.OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Derivative LitigationNot applicable.

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 345th 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 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 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 made available to plaintiffs. On July 10, 2019, the updated redacted Special Committee report was provided to plaintiffs through their counsel.

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 the settlement and ordering that notice of the settlement be made to the

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.

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

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 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:Not applicable.

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.
