The Company's consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability
Liquidity and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.operations
 
Since the Company’s inception in June 2004, it has financed its operations primarily through private placements of preferred stock, its initial public offering in July 2015, bank debt and convertible debt financings, equity financings, equipment purchase loans, and product revenue beginning in 2007. The Company has not yet attained profitability and continues to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows, which adversely impacts the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $425.0 million.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company had$483.2 million and cash and cash equivalents and investments of $54.5$18.6 million, and $0.5 million in restricted cash allocated to lease deposits. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and investments of $65.5 million and $0.3 million in restricted cash allocated to lease deposits.
 
On January 6, 2017, the Company entered into a senior secured $50 million loan and security agreement (the "2017 Secured Loan Agreement") with Oxford Finance LLC ("Oxford"). Through the term loan facility with Oxford, the Company and accessed the initial $15 million of borrowings on January 6, 2017at closing (the "Term A Loan"), and anotheran additional $15 million of borrowings under Term Loan B on June 30, 2017 with an additional $20 million available, at its option, through June 2018, subject(the "Term B Loan"). Pursuant to a fifth amendment to the satisfaction2017 Secured Loan Agreement (the "Fifth Amendment"), on December 13, 2018, the Company pre-paid $15 million aggregate principal amount of certainthe $30 million outstanding principal amount, as a pro rata portion of the Term A Loan and Term B Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and a pro rata prepayment fee.

The Fifth Amendment also reduced revenue milestones and customary drawdown conditions. For further information regarding this facility, see “Note L-Debt and Notes Payable-2017required by the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement”Agreement through December 31, 2019. New minimum revenue milestones, based on product revenue projections, are to be established prior to the consolidated financial statements appearingstart of 2020 and prior to the start of each fiscal year thereafter by the mutual agreement of Oxford and the Company. If the Company is not able to agree with Oxford on new minimum revenue milestones for 2020 or a fiscal year thereafter, the Company must refinance the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement by March 31, 2020 or that next fiscal year, and if the Company fails to refinance the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement, the Company must notify Oxford of such default and Oxford would be permitted to exercise remedies against the Company and its assets in this Quarterly Reportrespect of such event of default, including taking control of our cash and commencing foreclosure proceedings on Form 10-Q.our other assets.

Additionally,
The initial principal payment on the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement is due on February 1, 2020. The Company intends to refinance the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement before the interest only period ends and the principal repayments begin in January 2020. The Company may not be able to refinance or obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, or at all. To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through the future sale of equity or debt, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted. The terms of these future equity or debt securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing common stockholders or involve negative covenants that restrict our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt or making capital expenditures. If the Company is unable to refinance the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement before the interest only period ends or shortly thereafter, then the Company will be required to make principal repayments beginning in January 2020 which will require the Company to raise additional capital through the sale of equity and the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted.

In January 2017, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, withwhich was declared effective by the SEC.SEC on May 9, 2017 (the "Shelf Registration Statement"). The shelf registration statementShelf Registration Statement allows the Company to sell from time to time up to $200 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, or units comprised of any combination of these securities, for its own account in one or more offerings. The shelf registration statement is intended to provide the Company flexibility to conduct sales of its registered securities, subject to market conditions and our future capital needs. The terms of any offering under the shelf registration statement will be established at the time of such offering and will be described in one or more prospectus supplement filed with the SEC prior to the completion of any such offering.

On May 10, 2017, the Company filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”), pursuant to whichfor the Company may issuesale and sellissuance of up to $50 million of its common stock par value $0.00001 per share (the “Shares”).    


In connection with the offering, the Companyand entered into an Equitya Distribution Agreement dated as of May 10, 2017 (the “Distribution(“Distribution Agreement”), with Canaccord Genuity Inc., as sales agent (“Canaccord” ("Canaccord"). Pursuant pursuant to the Distribution Agreement,which Canaccord will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations, and the rules of The NASDAQ Global Select Marketagreed to sell shares of the SharesCompany's common stock from time to time, as the Company’s agent. Sales of the Shares, may be made by any method deemed to beour agent, in an “at-the-market” offering ("ATM") as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on or through The NASDAQ Global Select Market, on any other existing trading market for the Shares, or sales to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or any other method permitted by law.amended. The Company is not obligated to sell any Sharesshares under the Distribution Agreement. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Company has sold 228,946 Shares785,280 shares under the Distribution Agreement resulting in net proceeds of $1.0$1.5 million.

The Company anticipates that its principal sources of funds in the future will be revenue generated from the salessale of its products, including the successful full commercial launch of the Conformis Hip System, potential future capital raises through the issuance of equity or other securities, revenuespotential debt financings, and revenue that may be generated in connection with licensing its intellectual property, and potentially borrowings under our 2017 Secured Loan Agreement.

The Company expects that its existing cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017, including borrowings under its 2017 Secured Loan Agreement, and anticipated revenue from operations, including from projected sales of its products, will enableproperty. Additionally, in order for the Company to meet our operating plan, gross margin improvements and operating expense reductions will be necessary to reduce cash used in operations. When the Company needs additional equity or debt financing proceeds to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements and pay its debt service as it becomes due for at leastoperations, whether within the next 12 months fromor later, the date of filing.  Management has based this expectation on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, such as the revenue that it expects to generate from the sale of its products and the gross profit the Company expects to generate from those revenues, and it could use its capital resources sooner than we expect.

               In the event the Company’s resources are not sufficient to fund its operations, the Company may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. The Company may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to the Company, or at all.

Basis of presentation and use of estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates used in these consolidated financial statements include the valuation ofrevenue recognition, accounts receivable valuation, inventory reserves, intangible valuation, purchase accounting, impairment assessments, equity instruments, impairment assessments,stock compensation, income tax reserves and related allowances, and the lives of property and equipment.equipment, and valuation of right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2018.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016,2018, and related interim information contained within the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016,2018, and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016.2018. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any interim period.


Note B—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The Company's financial results are affected by the selection and application of accounting policies and methods. Except for the adoption of ASU 2016-02 "Leases" ("Topic 842" or "ASC 842") described below in "Leases", there were no material changes in the three months ended March 31, 2019 to the application of significant accounting policies and estimates as described in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Concentrations of credit risk and other risks and uncertainties
     
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains the majority of its cash with accredited financial institutions.
 
The Company and its contract manufacturers rely on sole source suppliers and service providers for certain components. There can be no assurance that a shortage or stoppage of shipments of the materials or components that the Company purchases will not result in a delay in production or adversely affect the Company’s business. TheOn an on-going basis, the Company is in the process of validatingvalidates alternate suppliers relative to certain key components which are expected to be phased in during the coming periods.as needed.
 
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016,2018, no customer represented greater than 10% of revenue. There were no customers that represented greater than 10% of the total gross receivable balance as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2016.2018.
 
Principles of consolidation
     
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries including ImaTx, Inc. ("ImaTx"), ConforMIS Europe GmbH, ConforMIS UK Limited, and ConforMIS Hong Kong Limited.Limited, and Conformis Cares LLC. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of demand deposits, money market accounts, and repurchase agreements on deposit with certain financial institutions, in addition to cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. Demand deposits are carried at cost which approximates their fair value. Money market accounts are carried at fair value based upon level 1 inputs. Corporate bonds and repurchaseRepurchase agreements are valued using level 2 inputs. See “Note C-Fair Value Measurements” below. The associated risk of concentration is mitigated by banking with credit worthy financial institutions.
The Company had $1.8 million and $1.6$1.5 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and $1.1 million as of December 31, 2016, respectively,2018 held in foreign bank accounts that are not federally insured. In addition, the Company has recorded restricted cash of $0.5 million and $0.3 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016, respectively.2018. Restricted cash consisted of security provided for lease obligations. Oxford has a security interest in the Company's cash accounts held at multiple institutions.
 
Investment securities

The Company classifies its investment securities as available-for-sale. Those investments with maturities less than 12 months at the date of purchase are considered short-term investments. Those investments with maturities greater than 12 months at the date of purchase are considered long-term investments. The Company’s investment securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices at period end. Unrealized gains and losses, deemed temporary in nature, are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

A decline in the fair value of any security below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a charge to earnings and the corresponding establishment of a new cost basis for the security. Premiums (discounts) are amortized (accreted) over the life of the related security using the constant yield method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned and reported in other income. Realized gains and losses are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.


Fair value of financial instruments
Certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents excluding(excluding money market funds,funds), accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity. Based on borrowing rates currently available

to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its fair value.
 
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
     
Accounts receivable consist of billed and unbilled amounts due from medical facilities. Upon completion of a procedure, revenue is recognized and an unbilled receivable is recorded. Upon receipt of a purchase order number from a medical facility, a billed receivable is recorded and the unbilled receivable is reversed. As a result, the unbilled receivable balance fluctuates based on the timing of the Company's receipt of purchase order numbers from the medical facilities. In estimating whether accounts receivable can be collected, the Company performs evaluations of customers and continuously monitors collections and payments and estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of the underlying invoices, collections experience to date and any specific collection issues that have been identified. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which revenue is recorded or when collection risk is identified.
 

Inventories
     
Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process components and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in first-out method, or marketnet realizable value. The Company regularly reviews its inventory quantities on hand and related cost and records a provision for any excess or obsolete inventory based on its estimated forecast of product demand and existing product configurations. The Company also reviews its inventory value to determine if it reflects the lower of cost or market, with market determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to inventory items sold at negative gross margins,margin, purchase commitments and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized provisions in cost of revenue of $0.4$0.5 million, and $2.1 million, respectively, to adjust its inventory value to the lower of cost or market for estimated unused product related to known and potential cancelled cases. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, $1.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively, was recognizedcases, which is included in cost of revenue for estimated unused product.revenue.

Property and equipment
     
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their useful life or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter. Assets capitalized under capital leases are amortized in accordance with the respective class of assets and the amortization is included with depreciation expense. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Business Combinationscombinations and purchase accounting

We includeThe Company includes the results of operations of the businesses that we acquireit acquires as of the applicable acquisition date. We allocate theThe purchase price of our acquisitionsthe acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.


Intangibles and other long-lived assets
     
Intangible assets consist of developed technology and other intellectual property rights licenseda favorable lease asset from ImaTx as partthe Company's acquisition of the spin-out transactionBroad Peak Manufacturing LLC in 2004.August 2017. Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization.
The Company tests impairment of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. For assets with determinable useful lives, amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the respective intangible assets. Furthermore, periodically the Company assesses whether long-lived assets, including intangible assets, should be tested for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on fair value, which is determined using estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated from such assets or group of assets. If the cash flow estimates or the significant operating assumptions upon which they are based change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized aMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, no such impairment charges were recognized.

$0.8 million impairment charge in General and administrative expense related to the discontinuance of a software capital project. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, a $0.1 million impairment charge was recognized in connection with certain manufacturing equipment previously purchased that will be returned to the seller in exchange for credit toward a future purchase, which value is less than the book value of the equipment.
Goodwill
Goodwill relates to amounts that arose in connection with the acquisition of Imaging Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly known as Osteonet.com, renamed ImaTx, Inc.) in 2009 and the acquisition of Broad Peak Manufacturing, LLC in August 2017. The Company tests goodwill at least annually for impairment, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. This impairment test is performed annually during the fourth quarter at the reporting unit level. Goodwill may be considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company is comprised of one reporting unit. When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company first assesses the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. This qualitative analysis is used as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment analysis. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step goodwill impairment test will be performed. If the two-step approach is performed, the Company will estimate fair value of the reporting unit, which is typically estimated using a discounted cash flow approach, and requires the use of assumptions and judgments including estimates of future cash flows and the selection of discount rates.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, there were no triggering events which would require an interim goodwill impairment assessment.
Revenue recognition

Product
The Company generates revenue from the sale of customized implants and instruments to medical facilities through the use of a combination of direct sales personnel, independent sales representatives and distributors in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong and Monaco.
Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
the sales price is fixed or determinable;
collection of the relevant receivable is probable at the time of sale; and
delivery has occurred or services have been rendered.Leases

The Company recognizes revenue upon completionadopted ASU No. 2016-02-Leases ("Topic 842" or "ASC 842"), as of January 1, 2019, in accordance with ASU 2018-11-Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2018-11"), issued by the FASB in July 2018. ASU 2018-11 allows an entity to elect not to recast its comparative periods in the period of adoption when transitioning to ASC 842 (the “Comparatives Under 840 Option”). Effectively, an entity would be permitted to change its date of initial application to the beginning of the procedure, which represents satisfactionperiod of adoption of ASC 842. In doing so, the entity would apply ASC 840 in the comparative periods and provide the disclosures required by ASC 840 for all periods that continue to be presented in accordance with ASC 840. Further, the entity would recognize the effects of applying ASC 842 as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. Under the Comparatives Under 840 Option, this date would represent the date of initial application. The Company is not required revenue recognition criteria. Onceto restate comparative periods for the revenue recognition criteria have been satisfiedeffects of applying ASC 842, provide the disclosures required by ASC 842 for the comparative periods, nor change how the transition requirements apply, only when the transition requirements apply. The Company does not offer rights of return or price protectionelected to report results for periods after January 1, 2019 under ASC 842 and thereprior period amounts are no post-delivery obligations.
Royaltyreported in accordance with ASC 840.

The Company has elected not to separate non-lease components from all classes of leases. Non-lease components have been accounted for its agreementsas part of the single lease component to which they are related.

Leases with Wright Medical Group, Inc.an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. This practical expedient enables an entity to use hindsight in determining the lease term when considering options to extend and MicroPort Orthopedics, Inc.terminate leases as well as purchase the underlying assets.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $7.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the additional lease assets and lease liabilities is related to deferred rent, which was previously recorded as deferred rent within Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities under ASC 840. The adoption of the standard did not impact the Company’s consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when, or as, obligations under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers. Revenue Recognition (ASC 605). In accordance with ASC 605,is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or services to a customer (“transaction price”). When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is required to identifymade if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and account for eachwhen the customer pays is one year or less. None of the separate unitsCompany’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of accounting.March 31, 2019. Payment is typically due between 30 - 60 days from invoice.


To the extent that the transaction price includes variable consideration, such as prompt-pay discounts or rebates, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the expected value to which the Company expects to be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company's estimates. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company identified the relativedetermines standalone selling price for each and then allocated the total considerationprices based on their relative values. Additionally,observable prices or a cost-plus margin approach when one is not available. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer. The Company's performance obligations are satisfied at the same time, typically upon surgery, therefore, product revenue is recognized at a point in time upon completion of the surgery. Since the Company does not have contracts that extend beyond a duration of one year, there is no transaction price related to performance obligations that have not been satisfied.

Certain customer contracts include terms that allow the Company to bill for orders that are cancelled after the product is manufactured and could result in revenue recognition over time. However, the impact of adopting over time revenue recognition was deemed immaterial.

The Company does not have any contract assets or liabilities with customers. Unconditional rights to consideration are reported as receivables. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized an initial $5.1 million in aggregate as deferred royaltyexpense.

Disaggregation of Revenue
See "Note M—Segment and Geographic Data" for disaggregated product revenue by geography.

Variable Consideration
Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established and which result from rebates that are offered within contracts between the Company and some of its customers. The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained, and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized as royalty revenue ratably through 2031.  The on-going royalty from MicroPort is recognized as royalty revenue upon receipt of payment.will not occur in a future period.
 
The following table summarizes activity for rebate allowance reserve for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (in thousands):
  March 31, 2019
Beginning Balance $97
Provision related to current period sales 41
Adjustment related to prior period sales 5
Payments or credits issued to customer (9)
Ending Balance $134


Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract
The Company currently expenses commissions paid for obtaining product sales. Sales commissions are paid following the manufacture and implementation of the implant. Due to the period being less than one year, the Company will apply the practical expedient, whereby the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in sales and marketing expense. Further, the Company incurs costs to buy, build, replenish, restock, sterilize and replace the reusable instrumentation trays associated with the sale of its products and services. The reusable instrument trays are not contract specific and are used for multiple contracts and customers, therefore does not meet the criteria to capitalize under ASC 606.

Shipping and handling costs
     
Shipping and handling activities prior to the transfer of control to the customer (e.g. when control transfers after delivery) are considered fulfillment activities, and not performance obligations. Amounts invoiced to customers for shipping and handling are classified as revenue. Shipping and handling costs incurred are included in general and administrative expense. Shipping and handling expense was $0.3$0.6 million

and $0.3$0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016, respectively, and was $1.0 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2018, respectively.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities
The Company’s policy is to present taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities on a net basis and not to include tax amounts in revenue.

Research and development expense
The Company’s research and development costs consist of engineering, product development, quality assurance, clinical and regulatory expense. These costs primarily relate to employee compensation, including salary, benefits and stock-based compensation. The Company also incurs costs related to consulting fees, revenue share, materials and supplies, and marketing studies, including data management and associated travel expense. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Advertising expense
     
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, which are included in sales and marketing. Advertising expense was $8,000$0.1 million and $19,000$0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016, respectively, and was $273,000 and $202,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2018, respectively.

Segment reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance of the segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker is its chief executive officer. The Company’s chief executive officer reviews financial information presented on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company has one business segment and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results and plans for products or components below the aggregate Company level. Accordingly, in light of the Company’s current product offerings, management has determined that the primary form of internal reporting is aligned with the offering of the ConforMISConformis customized joint replacement products and that the Company operates as one segment. See “Note O—Note M—Segment and Geographic Data”Data.
 

Comprehensive loss
     
At September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016,December 31, 2018, accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in unrealized gain and loss of available-for-sale securities, net of tax.

Foreign currency translation and transactions
     
The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates at the balance sheet date, and income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the quarter. Net translation gains and losses are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Gains and losses realized from foreign currency transactions denominated in foreign currencies, including intercompany balances not of a long-term investment nature, are included in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of operations.Operations.
 

Income taxes
     
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating losses and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date.

In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all reasonably available positive and negative evidence, including recent earnings, expectations of future taxable income and the character of that income. In estimating future taxable income, the Company relies upon assumptions and estimates of future activity including the reversal of temporary differences. Presently, the Company believes that a full valuation allowance is required to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from these positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company reviews its tax positions on an annual basis and more frequently as facts surrounding tax positions change. Based on these future events, the Company may recognize uncertain tax positions or reverse current uncertain tax positions, the impact of which would affect the consolidated financial statements.

The Company has operations in Germany and the United Kingdom.Germany. The operating results of theseGerman operations will be permanently reinvested in those jurisdictions.that jurisdiction. As a result, the Company has only provided for income taxes at local rates when required.

Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation", was issued and adopted in January 2017. ASU 2016-09 eliminates additional paid in capital ("APIC") pools and requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. In addition, modified retrospective adoption of ASU 2016-09 eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized (i.e., through a reduction in income taxes payable) before we can recognize them and therefore, we have accounted for a cumulative-effect adjustment of $7.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to record excess tax benefits.  Since the Company has a full valuation allowance on all deferred taxes, this has no impact on retained earnings or the tax position of the Company.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $80,000$(9,000) and $14,000$33,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016, respectively, and $143,000 and $27,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2018, respectively.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016, $19,0002018, a cumulative balance of $47,000 and $13,000$41,000 of interest and penalties havehad been accrued, respectively.

At March 31, 2019, the Company's foreign earnings, which have not been significant, have been retained indefinitely by foreign subsidiary companies for reinvestment.  Upon repatriation of those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company could be subject to withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries.

Medical device excise tax
     
The Company ishas been subject to the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Act”), which imposes a tax equal to 2.3% on the sales price of any taxable medical device by a medical device manufacturer, producer or importer of such device. Under the Act, a taxable medical device is any device defined in Section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, intended for humans, which includes an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related article, including any component, part, or accessory, which meets certain requirements. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 includes a two-year moratorium on the medical device excise tax, which moratorium suspended taxes on the sale of a taxable medical device by the manufacturer, producer, or importer of the device during the period beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending on December 31, 2017. On January 22, 2018, legislation was passed that suspends the medical device excise tax for sales in 2018 and 2019. The tax is not scheduled to take effect again until sales on or after January 1, 2020. It is unclear at this time if the suspension will be further extended, and we are currently subject to the tax after December 31, 2019. As such, the Company did not incur medical device excise tax expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016, respectively. Unless the medical

device tax is repealed or the moratorium extended, the Company expects that it will incur expenses associated with the medical device excise tax beginning on January 1, 2018.
 
Stock-based compensation
     
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Based Compensation.  ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments to employees and consultants, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on their fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted-average fair value of options granted and recognizes the compensation expense of stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award.
     
The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model is affected by the stock price, exercise price, and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility of the stock, expected life of the option, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends on the stock. The Company evaluates the assumptions used to value the awards at each grant date and if factors change and different assumptions are utilized, stock-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what has been recorded in the past. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, the Company may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense. See “Note N—Stockholders’ Equity” for a summary of the stock option activity under the Company’s stock-based compensation plan.

Net loss per share
     
The Company calculates net lossincome (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2017,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Compensation2018-15, "Intangibles - Stock CompensationGoodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract". Under the new guidance, implementation costs should be evaluated for capitalization using the same approach as implementation costs associated with internal-use software and should be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement, including any reasonably certain renewal periods. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. Prospective adoption for eligible costs incurred on or after the date of adoption or retrospective adoption are permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-15 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 718)820): Scope of Modification Accounting"Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement". This ASU provides clarification on when changesmodifies disclosure requirements relative to the termsthree levels of inputs used to measure fair value in accordance with Topic 820. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-13 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Credit Losses (Topic 326)." ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost, such as trade receivables, be represented net of expected credit losses, which may be estimated based on relevant information such as historical experience, current conditions, and future expectation for each pool of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification.similar financial asset. The new guidance requires enhanced disclosures related to trade receivables and associated credit losses. The guidance will beis effective the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted.beginning January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements and expects to adopt this pronouncement commencing in the first quarter of 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles- Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". This ASU removes the second step of the two-step test to determine goodwill impairment previously required. Entities will now apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The new guidance does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. The guidance will be effective the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements and expects to adopt this pronouncement commencing the first quarter of 2020.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force”. The standard requires restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective in the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company evaluated the impact of this pronouncement noting the Company's cash flow disclosure currently reflects ASU No. 2016-18 disclosure requirements. The Company expects to adopt this pronouncement commencing in the first quarter of 2018.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." This ASU amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under GAAP. Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. Practical expedients are available for election as a package and if applied consistently to all leases. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements and expects to adopt this pronouncement commencing in the first quarter of 2019.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes", which eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. This guidance is effective for public companies financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 effective January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. Since the Company has a full valuation allowance, adoption of ASU 20105-17 had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014,Reclassification

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-9, “Revenuecurrent period presentation. The Company reclassified the cash flow presentation of unrealized foreign currency transaction gains or losses resulting from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. ASU 2014-9 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitledchanges in exchange for those goods or services. In applyingrates between the revenue model to contracts within its scope, an entity identifies the contract(s) with a customer, identifies the performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognizes revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. ASU 2014-09 also requires significantly expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. Companies have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt the guidance. In March 2016, the FASB

issued ASU No 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)", which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing" ("ASU 2016-10"). This ASU clarifies two aspects of ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): identifying performance obligationsfunctional currency and the licensing implementation guidance". In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, "Revenuecurrency in which a foreign currency transaction is denominated to reflect such cash flows as non-cash adjustment to cash flows from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients", which provides guidance for accounting of credit losses affecting the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. Entities will be required to use a new forward-looking current expected credit loss model for trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, which will generally lead to an earlier recognition of loss allowances. Entities will recognize losses on available-for-sale debt securities as allowances rather than a reduction in amortized cost of the security while the measurement process of this loss does not change. Disclosure requirements are expanded regarding an entity’s assumptions, models and methods of estimations of the allowance.operating activities.

The Company has begun its assessment process to evaluate the impact, which it expects to complete later in 2017, and expects to adopt this pronouncement and related disclosures commencing in the first quarter of 2018. While the Company continues to evaluate the effect of the standard, adoption of this guidance will require additional disclosure around the Company's revenue recognition in its financial statements. The Company plans to adopt this standard using the modified retrospective approach; however, the Company will continue to evaluate its adoption options as the implementation process continues. The Company has established a cross-functional coordinated implementation team and engaged a third party consultant to assist with the project. The Company has completed the scoping and planning phase of the project, identified and reviewed customer contracts for each of its revenue streams, including royalty revenue, identifying pertinent attributes and is now in the process of evaluating the results of those reviews relative to the new standard. Based on the results of the procedures completed to date, the Company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements with regards to revenue recognized from the sale of its product to customers. The Company expects that, based on its preliminarily assessment, certain royalty revenue associated with the 2015 license agreements with Wright Medical and MicroPort in 2015 may be accelerated upon the adoption of this new standard. The Company is also in the process of evaluating changes to its processes and internal controls, as necessary, to meet the requirements. At this point in the process, the Company has not yet fully determined if the adoption of the new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Change in accounting policy regarding share-based compensation

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company elected to change its accounting policy to recognize forfeitures as they occur in accordance with ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation". Historically, the Company recognized share-based compensation net of estimated forfeitures over the vesting period of the respective grant. The new forfeiture policy election was adopted using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment of $0.3 million to accumulated deficit and an offset to APIC as of January 1, 2017.

ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation", was issued and adopted in January 2017. ASU 2016-09 eliminates APIC pools and requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. In addition, modified retrospective adoption of ASU 2016-09 eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized (i.e., through a reduction in income taxes payable) before we can recognize them and therefore, we have accounted for a cumulative-effect adjustment of $7.7 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 to record excess tax benefits.  Since the Company has a full valuation allowance on all deferred taxes, this has no impact on retained earnings or the tax position of the Company.

Note C—Fair Value Measurements
 
The Fair Value Measurements topic of the FASB Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with US GAAP, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance requires disclosure regarding the manner in which fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a three-tiered value hierarchy into which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based upon significant levels of inputs as follows:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The Company's investment policy is consistent with the definition of available-for-sale securities. All investments have been classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because of the sufficient observable inputs for revaluation. The Company's Level 1 cash and equivalents and investments are valued using quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in the active market. The Company’s Level 2 investments are valued at par value or using third-party pricing sources based on observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Note F—Acquisition
On August 9, 2017, the Company completed the purchase of certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Broad Peak Manufacturing, LLC (BPM), for approximately $6.4 million. Of the total purchase price paid, $5.8 million was in cash and $0.6 million of unregistered shares of common stock. The purchase was treated as a business combination as it met certain criteria stipulated in ASC 805 - Business Combinations. Prior to the acquisition, BPM provided substantially all of the polishing services for the Company’s femoral implant component. We expect the acquisition of the BPM assets will reduce the cost of polishing and improve overall gross margin.
The Company completed a preliminary estimate of the BPM purchase price allocation. Of the total purchase price, approximately $2.2 million related to earn out provisions tied to certain employee retention by the Company and achieving certain cost targets that was paid into an escrow account. An additional $0.7 million could be earned by BPM if the actual cost targets are exceeded. Alternatively, the earn out provisions could be paid back to the Company if the employee retention and cost targets are not achieved. The Company's best estimate of the range of possibilities is that none of the consideration in connection with employee retention or cost targets will be returned and that less than $0.1 million of additional consideration will be earned as a result of exceeding the cost targets. These estimates are based on various considerations regarding the employee retention and the streamlined cost structure associated with the polishing processes. The Company will update its estimate of contingent consideration on a quarterly basis. Of the total purchase price of $6.4 million, $0.4 million was attributed

to property and equipment, $6.0 million was attributed to goodwill and less than $0.1 million to other net assets acquired. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the future cost savings expected to arise after the acquisition and is deductible for tax purposes. The acquisition of BPM is strategically significant in reducing the manufacturing costs for the Company, however at the time of the acquisition and on September 30, 2017, the Company concluded that historical results of the BPM both individually and in the aggregate, were immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial results and therefore additional pro-forma disclosures are not presented.

The Company’s payment obligations under these agreements typically expire a fixed number of years after expiration or termination of the agreement or a fixed number of years after the first sale of a product, but in some cases expire on a product-by-product basis or expiration of the last to expire of the Company’s patents where the advisor is a named inventor that claims the applicable product.
      
Philipp Lang, M.D., one of the Company’s directors and former Chief Executive Officer, joined the Company’s scientific advisory board in 2004 prior to becoming an employee. The Company first entered into a revenue share agreement with Dr. Lang in 2008 when he became the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated revenue share agreement with Dr. Lang. Under this agreement, the specified percentage of the Company’s net revenues payable to Dr. Lang ranges from 0.875% to 1.33% and applies to all of the Company’s current products, including the Company’s iUni, iDuo, iTotal CR, and iTotal PS products, as well as certain other knee, hip and shoulder replacement products and related instrumentation the Company may develop in the future. The Company’s payment obligations under this agreement expire on a product-by-product basis on the last to expire of the Company’s patents on which Dr. Lang is named an inventor that claim the applicable product. These payment obligations survived the termination of Dr. Lang’s employment with the Company. The Company incurred revenue share expense paid to Dr. Lang of $233,000 and $230,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, respectively, and $722,000 and $718,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

Other obligations
 
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to certain non-cancellable contractual obligations typically related to product royalty and research and development and marketing services.development.  The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.

There have been no contingent liabilities requiring accrual at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2016.2018.
 
Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of the Company's business, the Company is subject to routine risk of litigation, claims and administrative proceedings on a variety of matters, including patent infringement, product liability, securities-related claims, and other claims in the United States and in other countries where the Company sells its products. An estimate of the possible loss or range of loss as a result of any of these matters cannot be made; however, management does not believe that these matters, individually or in the aggregate, are material to its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On February 29, 2016, the Company filed a lawsuit against Smith & Nephew, Inc. (“Smith & Nephew”) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts Eastern Division, and the Company amended its complaint on June 13, 2016 (the "Smith & Nephew Lawsuit"). The Smith & Nephew Lawsuit alleges that Smith & Nephew’s Visionaire® patient-specific instrumentation as well as the implants systems used in conjunction with the Visionaire instrumentation infringe nine of the Company's patents, and it requests, among other relief, monetary damages for willful infringement, enhanced damages and a permanent injunction.

On May 27, 2016, Smith & Nephew filed its Answer and Counterclaims in response to the Company's lawsuit, which it subsequently amended on July 22, 2016. Smith & Nephew denied that its Visionaire® patient-specific instrumentation as well as the implants systems used in conjunction with the Visionaire instrumentation infringe the patents asserted by the Company in the lawsuit. It also alleged two affirmative defenses: that the Company's asserted patents are invalid and that the Company is barred from relief under the doctrine of laches. In addition, Smith & Nephew asserted a series of counterclaims, including counterclaims seeking declaratory judgments that Smith & Nephew’s accused products do not infringe the Company's patents and that the Company's patents are invalid. Smith & Nephew also alleged that ConforMIS infringes ten patents owned or exclusively licensed by Smith & Nephew: two patents that Smith & Nephew alleges are infringed by the Company's iUni and iDuo products; three patents that Smith & Nephew alleges are infringed by the Company's iTotal products; and five patents that Smith & Nephew licenses from Kinamed, Inc. of Camarillo, California and that it alleges are infringed by the Company's iUni, iDuo and iTotal products. Due to Smith & Nephew’s licensing arrangement with Kinamed, Kinamed was named as a party to the lawsuit. Smith & Nephew and Kinamed requested, among other relief, monetary damages for willful infringement, enhanced damages and a permanent injunction. On March 9, 2017, the Court entered a stipulation of dismissal by the parties that dismissed from the lawsuit eight patents asserted by Smith & Nephew, including the patents involving Kinamed, and two patents asserted by ConforMIS.

Between September 21, 2016 and March 1, 2017, Smith & Nephew filed sixteen petitions with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (“USPTO”) requesting Inter Partes Review of the nine patents that the Company asserted against Smith & Nephew in the lawsuit. In its petitions, Smith & Nephew alleged that the Company's patents are obvious in light of certain prior art. As of October 31, 2017, the USPTO decided to institute IPR proceedings with respect to seven of the petitions; decided to deny the requests for IPR with respect to seven of the petitions; and, with respect to the remaining two petitions, decided to institute IPR proceedings for some of the subject patent claims and to deny the requests for the remaining subject patent claims. In total, the USPTO instituted IPR proceedings for some or all of the subject patent claims in six of the patents in the Smith & Nephew lawsuit (five patents that are currently asserted, and one of the patents that was voluntarily dismissed from the lawsuit), and denied the petitions for all subject claims in three of the patents (two patents that are currently asserted and one of the patents that was voluntarily dismissed from the lawsuit).  Smith & Nephew has filed a request for rehearing of three of the petitions that were denied and a request for reexamination of one of the patents for which an IPR was not instituted.

On January 27, 2017, Smith & Nephew filed a motion seeking a stay of the Smith & Nephew Lawsuit until any requested Inter Partes Reviews are resolved, and the Company filed an opposition to that motion. On April 27, 2017, the Court has stayed certain aspects of the proceedings and has indicated that it will make a final decision on the motion to stay after the USPTO has decided more of the petitions for Inter Partes Review. The Company is presently unable to predict the outcome of the motion to stay the proceedings, the requests for rehearing of the IPR petitions, the outcome of the institued IPRs, or the Smith & Nephew Lawsuit. An adverse outcome of some or all of these potential Inter Partes Review proceedings and lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company is presently unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuit or to reasonably estimate a range of potential losses, if any, related to the lawsuit.

Legal costs associated with legal proceedings are accrued as incurred.

Stock-based compensation
 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using a pricing model is affected by the value of the Company’s common stock as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The valuation of the Company’s common stock prior to the IPO was performed with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm using a methodology that includes various inputs including the Company’s historical and projected financial results, peer company public data and market metrics, such as risk-free interest and discount rates. As the valuations included unobservable inputs that were primarily based on the Company’s own assumptions, the inputs were considered level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.
    
The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions:

 Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Three Months Ended March 31, 
 2017 2016 2017 2016 2019 2018 
Risk-free interest rate 2.10% N/A 2.10%-2.14% N/A N/A 2.75% 
Expected term (in years) 6.25 N/A 6.02-6.25 N/A N/A 6.25 
Dividend yield —% N/A —% N/A N/A —% 
Expected volatility 52.00% N/A 50.59%-52.00% N/A N/A 52.81% 

Risk-free interest rate.    The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options.
Expected term.    The expected term of stock options represents the period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is based on the “SEC Shortcut Approach” as defined in “Share-Based Payment” (SAB 107) ASC 718-10-S99, “Compensation-Stock Compensation-Overall-SEC Materials,” which is the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. With certain stock option grants, the exercise price may exceed the fair value of the common stock. In these instances, the Company adjusts the expected term accordingly.
Dividend yield.    The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and, therefore, used an expected dividend yield of zero in the valuation model.
Expected volatility.    Expected volatility measures the amount that a stock price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate during a period. The Company does not have sufficient history of market prices of its common stock as it is a newly public company. Therefore, the Company estimates volatility using historical volatilities of similar public entities.
Forfeitures.    The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.
Stock-based compensation expense was $1.4$1.1 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016, and $4.1 million and $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2018, respectively.  Stock-based compensation expense was calculated based on awards ultimately expected to vest. To date, the amount of stock-based compensation capitalized as part of inventory was not material.
 
The following is a summary of stock-based compensation expense (in thousands):

Overview
 
We are a medical technology company that uses our proprietary iFit Image-to-Implant technology platform to develop, manufacture and sell joint replacement implants that are individually sized and shaped, which we refer to as customized, to fit each patient’s unique anatomy. The worldwide market for joint replacement products is approximately $15$18.1 billion annually and growing, and we believe our iFit technology platform is applicable to all major joints in this market. We believe we are the only company offeringoffer a broad line of customized knee implants designed to restore the natural shape of a patient’s knee. We have sold a total of more than 50,00090,000 knee implants, in the United Statesincluding more than 70,000 total knee implants and Europe.20,000 partial knee implants. In clinical studies, iTotal CR, our cruciate-retaining total knee replacement implant and best-selling product, demonstrated superior clinical outcomes, including better function and greater patient satisfaction compared to off-the-shelf implants. In 2015,March 2016, we initiated the limitedbroad commercial launch of the iTotal PS, our posterior-stabilized total knee replacement implant which addresses the largest segment of the knee replacement market and we initiated the broadmarket. On July 31, 2018, our first Conformis Hip Systems were implanted. We are in limited commercial launch with the Conformis Hip System and intend to enter full commercial launch in the second half of the iTotal PS in March 2016.2019.
 
Our iFit technology platform comprises three key elements:
 
iFit Design, our proprietary algorithms and computer software that we use to design customized implants and associated single-use patient-specific instrumentation, which we refer to as iJigs, based on computed tomography, or CT scans of the patient and to prepare a surgical plan customized for the patient that we call iView.

iFit Printing, a three-dimensional, or 3D, printing technology that we use to manufacture iJigs and that we may extend to manufacture certain components of our customized hip and knee replacement implants.

iFit Just-in-Time Delivery, our just-in-time manufacturing and delivery capabilities.
 
We believe our iFit technology platform enables a scalable business model that greatly lowers our inventory requirements, reduces the amount of working capital required to support our operations and allows us to launch new products and product improvements more rapidly, as compared to manufacturers of off-the-shelf implants.

     All of our kneejoint replacement products have been cleared by the FDA under the premarket notification process of Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or the FDCA, and all of our knee replacement products have received certification to CE Mark. We market our products to orthopedic surgeons, hospitals and other medical facilities and patients. We use direct sales representatives, independent sales representatives and distributors to market and sell our products in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and other markets.

We were incorporated in Delaware and commenced operations in 2004.





Components of our results of operations
 
The following is a description of factors that may influence our results of operations, including significant trends and challenges that we believe are important to an understanding of our business and results of operations.
 
Revenue
 
Our product revenue is generated from sales to hospitals and other medical facilities that are served through a direct sales force, independent sales representatives and distributors in the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Monaco, Hungary, Spain, and Monaco.Australia. In order for surgeons to use our products, the medical facilities where these surgeons treat patients typically require us to enter into purchasing contracts.pricing agreements. The process of negotiating a purchasing contractpricing agreement can be lengthy and time-consuming, require extensive management time and may not be successful.
 

Revenue from sales of our products fluctuates principally based on the selling price of the joint replacement product, as the sales price of our products varies among hospitals and other medical facilities. In addition, our product revenue may fluctuate based on the product sales mix and mix of sales by geography. Our product revenue from international sales can be significantly impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, as our sales are denominated in the local currency in the countries in which we sell our products. We expect our product revenue to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter due to a variety of factors, including seasonality, as we have historically experienced lower sales in the summer months and around year-end, the timing of the introduction of our new products, if any, and the impact of the buying patterns and implant volumes of medical facilities.

In April 2015, we entered into a worldwide licenseOn-going royalty revenue is generated from our agreement with MicroPort Orthopedics Inc., or MicroPort, a wholly owned subsidiary of MicroPort Scientific Corporation. Under the terms of this license agreement, we granted a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to MicroPort to use patient-specific instrument technology covered by our patentsCorporation, and patent applications with off-the-shelf implants in the knee. This license does not extend to patient-specific implants. This license agreement provides for the payment to us of a fixed royalty at a high single to low double digit percentage of net sales on patient-specific instruments and associated implant components in the knee, including MicroPort’s Prophecy patient-specific instruments used with its Advance and Evolution implant components. We cannot be certain as to the timing or amount of payment of any royalties under this license agreement. This license agreement also provided for a single lump-sum payment by MicroPort to us of low-single digit millions of dollars upon entering into the license agreement, which has been paid. This license agreement will expire upon the expiration of the last to expire of our patents and patent applications licensed to MicroPort, which currently is expected to occur in 2029.

In April 2015, we entered into a fully paid up, worldwide license agreementwas generated through December 31, 2017 with Wright Medical Group, Inc., or Wright Group, and its wholly owned subsidiary Wright Medical Technology, Inc., or Wright Technology and collectively with Wright Group, Wright Medical. Under the terms of this license agreement, we granted a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to Wright Medical to use patient-specific instrument technology covered by our patents and patent applications with off-the-shelf implants in the foot and ankle. This license does not extend to patient-specific implants. This license agreement provided for a single lump-sum payment by Wright Medical to us of mid-single digit millions of dollars upon enteringboth agreements entered into the license agreement, which has been paid. This license agreement will expire upon the expiration of the last to expire of our patents and patent applications licensed to Wright Medical, which currently is expected to occur in 2031.
We have accounted for the agreements with Wright Medical and MicroPort under ASC 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605). In accordance with ASC 605, we were required to identify and account for each of the separate units of accounting. We identified the relative selling price for each and then allocated the total consideration based on their relative values. In connection with these agreements, in April 2015, we recognized in aggregate (i) back-owed royalties of $3.4 million as royalty revenue and (ii) the value attributable to the settlements of $0.2 million as other income.  Additionally, we recognized an initial $5.1 million in aggregate as deferred royalty revenue, which is recognized as royalty revenue ratably through 2031.  See "Note I - Deferred Revenue" within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The on-going royalty from MicroPort is recognized as royalty revenue upon receipt of payment.



2015.

Cost of revenue
 
We produce the majority of our computer aided designs, or CAD, in-house and in India and use them to direct allmost of our product manufacturing efforts. We manufacture all of our patient-specific instruments, or iJigs, in our facilities in Wilmington, Massachusetts. Since November 2016, we make in our facilities all of the tibial trays used in our total knee implants. Additionally, we now make all of the tibialimplants, and polyethylene tibia tray inserts for our iTotal CR and have begun to make the tibial inserts for our iTotal PS product, in our facilities.facility in Wilmington, Massachusetts. We polish our femoral implants used in our total and partial knee products in our facility in Wallingford, Connecticut. Starting in July 2018, we manufacture our patient specific Conformis Hip System implants in our facility in Wilmington, Massachusetts. We outsource the production of the remainder of the partial knee tibial components, and the manufacture of femoral castings and other knee and hip implant components to third-party suppliers. Our suppliers make our customized implant components using the CAD designs we supply. Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs of raw materials, manufacturing personnel, manufacturing supplies, outside supplier processes, inbound freight and manufacturing overhead and depreciation expense.
 
On August 9, 2017, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, or APA, with Broad Peak Manufacturing, LLC, or BPM, which had been providing substantially all of the polishing services for the femoral implant components of our products. Under the APA, we acquired certain specified assets and assumed certain specified liabilities of BPM, including, among other things, machining and polishing equipment, supplies, and other assets used in BPM’s polishing services business. Additionally, we entered into written employment agreements with or otherwise hired most of BPM’s employees associated with the polishing business. Under the APA, BPM received a $3.5 million cash payment and approximately $0.8 million (169,096 shares) of unregistered Company common stock based on the average closing value of our common stock for the 30-day trading period ending on August 9, 2017, which had a market value of approximately $0.6 million at closing. In addition, and subject to the terms and conditions of the APA, BPM may receive two earn-out payments: an additional $0.9 million retention earn-out payable in cash based on criteria tied to certain employee retention by us, and a value earn-out of up to approximately $1.3 million in cash payable on August 9, 2018 (the first anniversary of the transaction), based on the performance of the polishing business during that period. BPM, may earn up to an additional $0.7 million in cash upon exceeding certain cost targets, based on the future performance of the polishing business through August 9, 2018. This description of the APA is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the APA, which we have filed as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, subject to a request for confidential treatment of certain terms and provisions of the APA.

We calculate gross margin as revenue less cost of revenue divided by revenue. Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including primarily volume of units produced, mix of product components manufactured by us versus sourced from third parties, our average selling price, the geographic mix of sales, product sales mix, the number of cancelled sales orders resulting in wasted implants, and royalty revenue.
 
We expect our gross margin from the sale of our products, which excludes royalty revenue, to expand over time to the extent we are successful in reducingcontinuing to reduce our manufacturing costs per unit and increasing our manufacturing efficiency as sales volume increases. We believe that areas of opportunity to expand our gross marginsmargin in the future, if and as the volume of our product sales increases, include the following:
 
absorbing overhead costs across a larger volume of product sales;
obtaining more favorable pricing for the materials used in the manufacture of our products;
obtaining more favorable pricing of certain component of our products manufactured for us by third parties;
increasing the proportion of certain components of our products that we manufacture in-house, which we believe we can manufacture at a lower unit cost than vendors we currently use;
developing new versions of our software used in the design of our customized joint replacement implants, which we believe will reduce costs associated with the design process; and
expandingcontinue to transition our in-house CAD labor overseas,force to India, which we believe will reduce labor costs required to design our products.
     
We continue to explore the application of our 3D printing technology to select metal components of our products, which we believe may be a future opportunity for reducing our manufacturing costs. We also plancontinue to explore other opportunities to reduce our manufacturing costs. However, these and the above opportunities may not be realized. In addition, our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period.
 
Operating expenses
 
Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses. Personnel costs are the most significant component of operating expenses and consist of salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation, and sales commissions.


Sales and marketing.    Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salary, employee benefits and stock-based compensation for personnel employed in sales, marketing, customer service, medical education and training, as well as investments in surgeon training programs, industry events and other promotional activities. In addition, our sales and marketing expense includes sales commissions and bonuses, generally based on a percentage of sales, to our sales managers, direct sales representatives and independent sales representatives. Recruiting, training and retaining productive sales representatives and educating surgeons about the benefits of our products are required to generate and grow revenue. We expect sales and marketing expense to significantly increase as we build up our sales and support personnel and expand our marketing efforts. Our sales and marketing expense may fluctuate from period to period due to the seasonality of our revenue and the timing and extent of our expenses.

Research and development.    Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salary, employee benefits and stock-based compensation for personnel employed in research and development, regulatory and clinical areas. Research and development expense also includes costs associated with product design, product refinement and improvement efforts before and after receipt of regulatory clearance, development prototypes, testing, clinical study programs and regulatory activities, contractors and consultants, and equipment and software to support our development. As our revenue increases, we will also incur additional expenses for revenue share payments to our past and present scientific advisory board members, including one of our directors.members. We expect research and development expense to increase in absolute dollars as we develop new products to expand our product pipeline, add research and development personnel and conduct clinical activities.
 
General and administrative.    General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salary, employee benefits and stock-based compensation for our administrative personnel that support our general operations, including executive management, general legal and intellectual property, finance and accounting, information technology and human resources personnel. General and administrative expense also includes outside legal costs associated with intellectual property and general legal matters, financial audit fees, insurance, fees for other consulting services, depreciation expense, freight, and facilities expense. We expect our general and administrative expense will increase in absolute dollars as we increase our headcount and expand our infrastructure to support growth in our business and our operations as a public company.operations. As our revenue increases, we also will incur additional expenseexpenses for freight. Our general and administrative expense may fluctuate from period to period due to the timing and extent of the expenses.
 
Total other income (expense)(expenses), net
 
Total other income (expense)(expenses), net consists primarily of interest expense and amortization of debt discount associated with our term loans outstanding during the year and realized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions. The effect of exchange rates on our foreign currency-denominated asset and liability balances are recorded in other income (expense) and are recorded as foreign currency translationtransaction adjustments in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Product revenue in the United States was generated through our direct sales force and independent sales representatives. Product revenue outside the United States was generated through our direct sales force and distributors. The percentage of product revenue generated in the United States was 85%86% for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared to 81%82% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2018. We believe the lowerhigher level of revenue as a percentage of product revenue outsideinside the United States in the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 was due to the introduction of the iTotal PS and Hip System in the United States, and the changenegative impact in Germany is due to (i) the decrease in reimbursement of our iUni and iDuo partial implants in Germany, and (ii) continued weakness inreimbursement challenges of our iTotal CR and iTotal PS business.

    In April 2015, we entered into a fully paid up, worldwide license agreement with Wright Medical for a single lump-sum payment by Wright Medical to us upon entering into the agreement.  At the same time we also entered into a worldwide license agreement with MicroPort for a single lump-sum payment by MicroPort to us upon entering into the license agreement and the payment to us of a fixed royalty at a high single to low double digit percentage of net sales on patient-specific instruments and associated implant components in the knee.Royalty revenue. Royalty revenue relatedwas $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to these agreements remained consistent at $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.March 31, 2018 comprised of royalty revenue from MicroPort Orthopedics Inc.

The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in production costs associated with the decrease in product revenue coupled with vertical integration and other cost saving initiatives and a reduction in unused product, partially offset by increases in material purchase prices and increase in personnel costs to support increased manufacturing capabilities.initiatives. Gross profit was $7.3$9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared to $6.0$8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2018, an increase of $1.3$1.0 million or 22%12%.

The percentage of product revenue generated in the United States was 83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We believe the lower level of revenue as a percentage of product revenue outside the United States in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was due to the introduction of the iTotal PS in the United States, the change in the reimbursement of our iUni and iDuo partial implants in Germany, continued weakness in our iTotal CR business, partially offset by the increase in exchange rate for Germany.

Gross profit was $20.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $18.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increased of $1.4 million or 7%. Gross margin increased 300 basis points to 35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase in gross margin was driven primarily by savings from vertical integration efforts and other cost saving initiatives, offset by a decrease in the average sales price.

The decrease was due primarily to a $2.6 million decrease in salaries, incentives and related costs, and a decrease of $0.4 million in instrumentation expense, offset by a $0.7 million increase in sales commissions and a $0.2 million increase in marketing and other expense.

The increase was due primarily to a $2.0 million increase in patent litigation expense, a $1.9 million increase in personnel costs, a $0.6 million increase in business insurance, a $0.8 million long-lived asset impairment charge, a $0.7 million increase in severance expense, and $0.4 million increase in supplies and other expenses, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in patent support and other general legal costs and a $0.6 million refund received in 2017 of previously paid medical device excise tax. General and administrative expense increased as a percentage of total revenue to 39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Liquidity, capital resources and plan of operations
 
Sources of liquidity and funding requirements
 
From our inception in June 2004 through the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements of preferred stock, our initial public offering, or IPO, equity offerings, bank and other debt and product revenue beginning in 2007. Our product revenue has continued to grow from year-to-year; however, werevenue. We have not yet attained profitability and continue to incur operating losses. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we hadhave an accumulated deficit of $425.0$483.2 million.
      
On July 7, 2015, we closed our initial public offering of our common stock and issued and sold 10,350,000 shares of our common stock, including 1,350,000 shares of common stock issued upon the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, at a public offering price of $15.00 per share, for aggregate offering proceeds of approximately $155 million. We received aggregate net proceeds from the offering of approximately $140 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us.  Our common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on July 1, 2015.

On January 6, 2017, we entered into a senior secured loan and security agreement, or the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement with Oxford Finance LLC, or Oxford. Through the Secured Loan Agreement with Oxford, the Company accessed $15 million of borrowings on January 6, 2017 and a second $15 million of borrowings on June 30, 2017, with an additional $202017. On December 13, 2018, we pre-paid $15 million availableprincipal amount of the $30 million outstanding principal amount using short-term investment maturities and cash and cash equivalents. New minimum revenue milestones, based on product revenue projections, are to borrow, at our option, through June 2018, subjectbe established prior to the satisfactionstart of certain2020 and prior to the start of each fiscal year thereafter by the mutual agreement of Oxford and us. If the we are not able to agree with Oxford on new minimum revenue milestones for 2020 or a fiscal year thereafter, we will be required to refinance the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement by March 31, 2020 or that next fiscal year, and customary drawdown conditions.if we fail to do so, we may default under the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement. In such an event, we would be required to notify Oxford of such default and Oxford would be permitted to exercise remedies against us and our assets in respect of such event of default, including taking control of our cash and commencing foreclosure proceedings on our other assets.

The initial principal payment on the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement is due on February 1, 2020. We intend to refinance the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement before the interest only period ends and the principal repayments begin in January 2020. We may not be able to refinance or obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the future sale of equity or debt, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted. The terms of these future equity or debt securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing common stockholders or involve negative covenants that restrict our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt or making capital expenditures. If we are unable to refinance the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement before the interest only period ends or shortly thereafter, then we will be required to make principal repayments beginning in January 2020 which will require us to raise additional capital through the sale of equity and the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted. For further information regarding the Secured Loan Agreement,this facility, see “Note L-DebtNote K—Debt and Notes Payable-2017 Secured Loan Agreement” toPayable in the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Additionally, inIn January 2017, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, withwhich was declared effective by the SEC.SEC on May 9, 2017, or the "Shelf Registration Statement". The shelf registration statementShelf Registration Statement allows us to sell from time-to-time up to $200 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, or units comprised of any combination of these securities, for our own account in one or more offerings. The shelf registration statement is intended to provide us flexibility to conduct registered sales of our securities, subject to market conditions and our future capital needs. The terms of any offering under the shelf registration statement will be established at the time of such offering and will be described in a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC prior to the completion of any such offering.

On May 10, 2017, we filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement, pursuant to which we may issue and sell up to $50 million of our common stock par value $0.00001 per share (the "Shares"). In connection with this offering, weand entered into the Distribution Agreement with Canaccord. PursuantCanaccord Genuity, pursuant to the Distribution Agreement,which Canaccord will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations, and the rules of The NASDAQ Global Select Markethas agreed to sell the Sharesshares of our common stock from time to time, as our agent. Sales of the Shares, may be made by any method deemed to beagent in an “at-the-market” offering ("ATM") as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on or through The NASDAQ Global Select Market, on any other existing trading market for the Shares, or sales to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or any other method permitted by law.amended. We are not obligated to sell any number of Sharesshares under the Distribution Agreement. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we have sold 228,946 Shares785,280 shares under the Distribution Agreement resulting in net proceeds of $1.5 million.


On December 17, 2018, we entered into a stock purchase agreement, or the "Stock Purchase Agreement", with Lincoln Park Capital, or "LPC". Upon entering into the Stock Purchase Agreement, we sold 1,921,968 shares of common stock for $1.0 million.million to LPC, representing a premium of 110% to the previous day's closing price. As consideration for LPC’s commitment to purchase shares of common stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement, we issued 354,430 shares to LPC.  We intendhave the right at our sole discretion to usesell to LPC up to $20.0 million worth of shares over a 36-month period subject to the net proceedsterms of the offeringStock Purchase Agreement. We will control the timing of any sales to LPC and LPC will be obligated to make purchases of our common stock upon receipt of requests from us in accordance with the terms of the Shares for general corporate purposes,Stock Purchase Agreement. There are no upper limits to the price per share LPC may pay to purchase the up to $20.0 million worth of common stock subject to the Stock Purchase Agreement, and the purchase price of the shares will be based on the then prevailing market prices of our shares at the time of each sale to LPC as described in the Stock Purchase Agreement, provided that LPC will not be obligated to make purchases of our common stock pursuant to receipt of a request from us on any business day on which the last closing trade price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (or alternative national exchange in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement) is below a floor price of $0.25 per shareNo warrants, derivatives, financial or business covenants are associated with the Stock Purchase Agreement and LPC has agreed not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of shares of our common stock.  The Stock Purchase Agreement may include research and development costs, sales and marketing costs, clinical studies, manufacturing development, the acquisitionbe terminated by us at any time, at our sole discretion, without any cost or licensing of other businesses or technologies, repayment and refinancing of debt, including the Company’s secured term loan facility, working capital and capital expenditures.penalty.

We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future in connection with the following:
expansion of our sales and marketing efforts;
expansion of our manufacturing capacity;
funding research, development and clinical activities related to our existing products and product platform, including iFit design software and product support;
funding research, development and clinical activities related to new products that we may develop, including other joint replacement products;

pursuing and maintaining appropriate regulatory clearances and approvals for our existing products and any new products that we may develop; and
preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, and maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and position.
     In addition, our general and administrative expense will increase due to the additional operational and reporting costs associated with our expanded operations and being a public company.

We anticipate that our principal sources of funds in the future will be revenue generated from the sales of our products, including the successful full commercial launch of the Conformis Hip System, potential future capital raises through the issuance of equity or other securities, debt financings, and revenues that we may generate in connection with licensing our intellectual property,property. Additionally, in order for us to meet our operating plan, gross margin improvements and potentially borrowings under our 2017 Secured Loan Agreement.operating expense reductions will be necessary to reduce cash used in operations. We will need to generate significant additional revenue to achieve and maintain profitability, and even if we achieve profitability, we cannot be sure that we will remain profitable for any substantial period of time. It is also possible that we may allocate significant amounts of capital toward products or technologies for which market demand is lower than anticipated and, as a result, abandon such efforts. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, or if we expend capital on projects that are not successful, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, and we may even have to scale back our operations. Our failure to become and remain profitable could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, maintain our research and development efforts or continue to fund our operations.
 
We may needanticipate needing to engage in additional equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the future salesales of equity or debt, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted. The terms of these future or debt securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing common stockholders or involve negative covenants that restrict our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt or making capital expenditures.
  

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents and investments of $54.5$18.6 million and $0.5 million in restricted cash allocated to lease deposits. Based on our current operating plan, we expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents and investments as of September 30, 2017, including borrowings under our 2017 Secured Loan Agreement, andMarch 31, 2019, anticipated revenue from operations, including from projected sales of our products,and the ability to issue equity to LPC will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements and pay our debt service as it becomes due for at least the next 12 months from the date of filing. We have based this expectation on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, such as the revenue that we expect to generate from the sale of our products, and the gross profit we expect to generate from those revenues,revenue, the reduction in operating expenses in 2019, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we expect.

Contractual obligations and commitments
 
We describedThere have not been any material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments underas described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. On January 6, 2017, we entered into the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement with Oxford. Through the term loan facility with Oxford, we accessed the initial $15 million of borrowings on January 6, 2017 and $15 million of borrowings on June 30, 2017, with an additional $20 million available, at our option, through June 2018, subject to the satisfaction of certain revenue milestones and customary drawdown conditions.2018.


Revenue share agreements
We are party to revenue share agreements with certain past and present members of our scientific advisory board under which these advisors agreed to participate on our scientific advisory board and to assist with the development of our customized implant products and related intellectual property. These agreements provide that we will pay the advisor a specified percentage of our net revenue, ranging from 0.1% to 1.33%, with respect to our products on which the advisor made a technical contribution or, in some cases, which we covered by a claim of one of or patents on which the advisor is a named inventor. The credit facilityspecific percentage is secureddetermined by substantiallyreference to product classifications set forth in the agreement and is tiered based on the level of net revenue collected by us on such product sales. Our payment obligations under these agreements typically expire a fixed number of years after expiration or termination of the agreement, but in some cases expire on a product-by-product basis or expiration of the last to expire of our patents where the advisor is a named inventor that claims the applicable product.

The aggregate revenue share percentage of net revenue from our currently marketed knee replacement products, including percentages under revenue share agreements with all of our personal property other than our intellectual property.  Underscientific advisory board members, ranges, depending on the terms of the credit facility, we cannot grant a security interest in its intellectual propertyparticular product, from 3.4% to any other party. The term loan under the credit facility bears interest at a floating annual rate calculated at the greater of 30 day LIBOR or 0.53%, plus 6.47%5.8%. We are requiredincurred aggregate revenue share expense including all amounts payable under our scientific advisory board revenue share agreements of $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, representing 3.5% of product revenue, and $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, representing 4.7% of product revenue. Revenue share expense is included in research and development.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
 
Through September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
 

Critical accounting policies and significant judgments and use of estimates
 
We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our preparation of these financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The accounting estimates that require our most significant estimates include revenue recognition, accounts receivable valuation, inventory valuations, intangible valuation, purchase accounting, impairment assessments, equity instruments, impairment assessments,stock compensation, income tax reserves and related allowances, and the lives of property and equipment.equipment, and valuation of right-of-use lease assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies are more fully described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical accounting policies and significant judgments and use of estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162018, with the exception of the critical accounting policy related to valuation methodology for goodwill impairment assessment. We updated our critical accounting policy to determine of the reporting unit using the combination of the market and income approaches which is more fully described in Note B to the consolidated financial statements appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Recent accounting pronouncements
Information with respect to recent accounting developments is provided in Note B to the consolidated financial statements appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various market risks, which may result in potential losses arising from adverse changes in market rates, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and do not believe we are exposed to material market risk with respect to our cash and cash equivalents and investments.
Interest rate risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk in connection with borrowings made under the 2017 Secured Loan Agreement, which bears interest at floating annual rate calculated at the greater of 30 day LIBOR or 0.53%, plus 6.47%. For variable rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In addition, we are exposed to limited market risk related to fluctuation in interest rates and market prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. As of September 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $26.5 million consisting of demand deposits and money market accounts on deposit with certain financial institutions. We had $1.8 million as of September 30, 2017 and $1.6 million as of December 31, 2016 held in foreign bank accounts that were not federally insured. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Foreign currency exchange risk
Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies could adversely affect our financial results.  Approximately 17% of our product revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 22% of our product revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were denominated in foreign currencies.  We expect that foreign currencies will continue to represent a similarly significant percentage of our net sales in the future. Costs of revenue related to these sales are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars; however, operating costs, including sales and marketing and general and administrative expense, related to these sales are largely denominated in the same currencies as the sales, thereby partially limiting our transaction risk exposure. Additionally, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to recognize transaction gains and losses in our statement of operations. In 2016, we began transferring excess cash residing in our German bank account to the U.S. As a result, intercompany loans with ConforMIS Europe GmbH, our wholly owned subsidiary, generated as a result of selling our products to customers in Germany, are no longer considered to be of a long-term investment nature, and gains and losses realized on intercompany loan balances, which are generated from

the sale of our products to foreign customers, are included in the consolidated statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized $3.6 million in foreign exchange transaction gain on intercompany loan balances included in foreign currency transaction gain. To date, we have not engaged in any foreign currency hedging transactions. As our international operations grow, we will continue to reassess our approach to managing the risks relating to fluctuations in currency rates.  A 10% increase or decrease in foreign currency exchange rates would have resulted in additional income or expense of $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
We do not believe that inflation and change in prices had a significant impact on our results of operations for any periods presented in our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of the Company'sour business, the Company iswe are subject to routine risk of litigation, claims and administrative proceedings on a variety of matters, including patent infringement, product liability, securities-related claims, and other claims in the United States and in other countries where the Company sells itswe sell our products. An estimate of the possible loss or range of loss as a result of any of these matters cannot be made; however, management does not believe that these matters, individually or in the aggregate, are material to its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
On February 29, 2016, the Company filed a lawsuit against Smith & Nephew, Inc. (“Smith & Nephew”) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts Eastern Division, and the Company amended its complaint on June 13, 2016 (the "Smith & Nephew Lawsuit"). The Smith & Nephew Lawsuit alleges that Smith & Nephew’s Visionaire® patient-specific instrumentation as well as the implants systems used in conjunction with the Visionaire instrumentation infringe nine of the Company's patents, and it requests, among other relief, monetary damages for willful infringement, enhanced damages and a permanent injunction.
On May 27, 2016, Smith & Nephew filed its Answer and Counterclaims in response to the Company's lawsuit, which it subsequently amended on July 22, 2016. Smith & Nephew denied that its Visionaire® patient-specific instrumentation as well as the implants systems used in conjunction with the Visionaire instrumentation infringe the patents asserted by the Company in the lawsuit. It also alleged two affirmative defenses: that the Company's asserted patents are invalid and that the Company is barred from relief under the doctrine of laches. In addition, Smith & Nephew asserted a series of counterclaims, including counterclaims seeking declaratory judgments that Smith & Nephew’s accused products do not infringe the Company's patents and that the Company's patents are invalid. Smith & Nephew also alleged that ConforMIS infringes ten patents owned or exclusively licensed by Smith & Nephew: two patents that Smith & Nephew alleges are infringed by the Company's iUni and iDuo products; three patents that Smith & Nephew alleges are infringed by the Company's iTotal products; and five patents that Smith & Nephew licenses from Kinamed, Inc. of Camarillo, California and that it alleges are infringed by the Company's iUni, iDuo and iTotal products. Due to Smith & Nephew’s licensing arrangement with Kinamed, Kinamed was named as a party to the lawsuit. Smith & Nephew and Kinamed requested, among other relief, monetary damages for willful infringement, enhanced damages and a permanent injunction. On March 9, 2017, the Court entered a stipulation of dismissal by the parties that dismissed from the lawsuit eight patents asserted by Smith & Nephew, including the patents involving Kinamed, and two patents asserted by ConforMIS.
                Between September 21, 2016 and March 1, 2017, Smith & Nephew filed sixteen petitions with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (“USPTO”) requesting Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) of the nine patents that the Company asserted against Smith & Nephew in the lawsuit. In its petitions, Smith & Nephew alleged that the Company's patents are obvious in light of certain prior art.  As of October 31, 2017, the USPTO decided to institute IPR proceedings with respect to seven of the petitions; decided to deny the requests for IPR with respect to seven of the petitions; and, with respect to the remaining two petitions, decided to institute IPR proceedings for some of the subject patent claims and to deny the requests for the remaining subject patent claims. In total, the USPTO instituted IPR proceedings for some or all of the subject patent claims in six of the patents in the Smith & Nephew lawsuit (five patents that are currently asserted, and one of the patents that was voluntarily dismissed from the lawsuit), and denied the petitions for all subject claims in three of the patents (two patents that are currently asserted and one of the patents that was voluntarily dismissed from the lawsuit).  Smith & Nephew has filed a request for rehearing of three of the petitions that were denied and a request for reexamination of one of the patents for which an IPR was not instituted.
                On January 27, 2017, Smith & Nephew filed a motion seeking a stay of the Smith & Nephew Lawsuit until any requested Inter Partes Reviews are resolved, and the Company filed an opposition to that motion. On April 27, 2017, the Court stayed certain aspects of the proceedings and indicated that it will make a final decision on the motion to stay after the USPTO has decided more of the petitions for Inter Partes Review.  The Company is presently unable to predict the outcome of the motion to stay the proceedings, the requests for rehearing of the IPR petitions, the outcome of the instituted IPRs, or the Smith & Nephew Lawsuit. An adverse outcome of some or all of these potential IPR proceedings or of the Smith & Nephew Lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.  The Company is presently unable to reasonably estimate a range of potential losses, if any, related to the lawsuit.



ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For a detailed discussionThe following description of the risks that affect our business, please referrisk factors consists of updates to the section entitled “Risk Factors”risk factors previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2018 (the “Form 10-K”). For a detailed discussion of the other risks that affect our business, please refer to the entire section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Risk factors and other information included in this Quarterly Report onour Form 10-Q should be carefully considered. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we presently deem less significant may also impair our business operations. Please see page 3326 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of some of the forward-looking statements that are qualified by these risk factors. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes that could negatively impact our financial condition.

The rules dealing with U.S. federal, state and local income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department. Changes to tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application) could adversely affect our stockholders or us. In recent years, many such changes have been made and changes are likely to continue to occur in the future. We cannot predict whether, when, in what form, or with what effective dates, tax laws, regulations and rulings may be enacted, promulgated or decided, which could result in an increase in our, or our stockholders’, tax liability or require changes in the manner in which we operate in order to minimize increases in our tax liability.

If Congress repeals, replaces or changes the Affordable Care Act or otherwise implements certain health care reforms that have been proposed, we could be subject to a regulatory and reimbursement scheme that has a material impact on our business.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 or, collectively, the PPACA, changed how some healthcare providers are reimbursed by the Medicare program and some private third-party payors. Upon taking office, President Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to avoid enforcement of any provision of the PPACA, commonly referred to as “Obamacare”. An initial version of proposed legislation designed to repeal the PPACA, and replace it with a system of tax credits and dissolve an expansion of the Medicaid program was not adopted by the House of Representatives. However, the House of Representatives recently passed a similar bill called the American Health Care Act of 2017 (the AHCA), and the United States Senate is considering similar legislation. Although the previously proposed legislation has not had sufficient support to pass Congress, there is growing uncertainty regarding the future of the current PPACA framework. Changes to the PPACA, adoption of the AHCA or other legislative and regulatory changes in the health care field could adversely affect our business, including by decreasing the number of patients in the United States with health insurance, reducing the amount of funds currently available to patients as a result of repeal of significant portions of the PPACA, eliminating programs (such as the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement program) that are potentially beneficial to us, reducing the amount of funds available for procedures performed in outpatient and ambulatory care facilities, or the adoption of other changes in health care regulation and reimbursement that have been proposed or that may be proposed.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Unregistered Sales of Securities

On August 9, 2017, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with BPM under which the Company issued 169,096We did not sell any shares of our unregistered common stock, shares of our preferred stock or warrants to BPM having an approximate valuepurchase shares of $0.6 million as ofour stock, or grant any stock options or restricted stock awards, during the closing date. The issuance of the Stock Consideration wasperiod covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Use of proceeds from registered securities
