1. DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of the Business—The “Company” or “AtriCure” consists of AtriCure, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company is a leading innovator in surgical treatments and therapies for atrial fibrillation (Afib) and, left atrial appendage (LAA) management and post-operative pain management, and sells its products to medical centers globally through its direct sales force and distributors.

Basis of Presentation—The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of the Company’s management, contain all normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) applicable to interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted or condensed. The Company believes the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future period.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementsinterim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 filed with the SEC. All intercompany accounts and transactionsThere have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include demand deposits, money market funds and repurchase agreements on deposit with financial institutions.

Investments—The Company invests primarily in government and agency obligations, corporate bonds, commercial paper and asset-backed securities and classifies all investments as available-for-sale. Investments maturing in less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses are recognized using the specific identification method when securities are sold and are included in interest income.

Revenue Recognition—The Company recognizes revenue when control of promised goods is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. This generally occurs upon shipment of goods to customers. See Note 8 for further discussion on revenue.

Sales Returns and Allowances—The Company maintains a provision for potential returns of defective or damaged products and invoice adjustments. The Company adjusts the provision using the expected value method based on historical experience. Increases to the provision reduce revenue, and the provision is included in accrued liabilities.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Accounts Receivable—The Company evaluates the expected credit losses of accounts receivable, considering historical credit losses, current customer-specific information and other relevant factors when determining the allowance. An increase to the allowance for credit losses results in a corresponding increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company charges off uncollectible receivables against the allowance when all attempts to collect the receivable have failed. The Company’s history of write-offs has not been significant.

Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value based on the first-in, first-out cost method (FIFO) and consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods. The Company’s industry is characterized by rapid product development and frequent new product introductions. Uncertain timing of regulatory approvals, variability in product launch strategies and variation in product use all impact inventory reserves for excess, obsolete and expired products. An increase to inventory reserves results in a corresponding increase in cost of revenue. Inventories are written off against the reserve when they are physically disposed.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets. The estimated useful life by major asset category is the following:

Estimated Useful Life

Generators and related equipment

1-3 years

Building and building under finance lease

15 - 20 years

Computers, software and office equipment

3 years

Machinery and equipment

3 - 7 years

Furniture and fixtures

3 - 7 years

Leasehold improvements

5 - 15 years

Equipment under finance leases

The Company assesses the useful lives of property and equipment at least annually and retires assets no longer in use. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment at least annually using its best estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and expected future cash flows. Property and equipment impairments have not been significant.

The Company’s radiofrequency (RF) and cryo generators are generally placed with customers that use the Company’s disposable products. The estimated useful lives of generators are based on anticipated usage by customers and may change in future periods with changes in usage or introduction of new technology. Depreciation of generators and related equipment, which is included in cost of revenue, was $601 and $635 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and $1,203 and $1,285Company's significant accounting policies for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. As of June 30, 2021 and2022 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, the net carrying value of generators and related equipment included in net property and equipment was $3,542 and $3,410.

Leases— The Company leases office, manufacturing and warehouse facilities and computer equipment under leases that qualify as either financing or operating leases, as determined at the inception of the lease arrangement. Lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease assets and liabilities are measured and recorded at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Lease assets and liabilities exclude lease incentives and include options to extend or terminate when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable; however, most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate and therefore, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at measurement. The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption, recognizing lease payments in profit or loss, for leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at commencement and do not include an option to extend the lease whose exercise is reasonably certain. For real estate and equipment leases, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Additionally, the portfolio approach is applied for the operating leases based on the terms of the underlying leases.

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets and operating lease liabilities, while finance leases are included in property and equipment and finance lease liabilities. The short-term portions of both lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities and current maturities of debt and leases. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. See Note 6 for further discussion.

Intangible Assets—Intangible assets with determinable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods benefited. Intangible assets include In Process Research and Development (IPR&D), representing the value of technology acquired in business combinations that has not yet reached technological feasibility. The primary basis for determining technological feasibility is obtaining specific regulatory approvals. IPR&D is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment of the IPR&D project. Upon completion of the development project, IPR&D will be amortized over its estimated

(Unaudited)

useful life. If the IPR&D project is abandoned or regulatory approvals are not obtained, the Company may have a full or partial impairment charge related to the IPR&D, calculated as the excess carrying value of the IPR&D asset over the estimated fair value.

As of June 30, 2021 the IPR&D asset represents an estimate of the fair value of the pre-market approval (PMA) that could result from the aMAZE™ IDE clinical trial. See Note 12 for further discussion. Through April 2021, the IPR&D asset also included an estimate of the fair value of the PMA that could result from the CONVERGE IDE clinical trial. The Company received PMA approval for CONVERGE on April 28, 2021 and began amortizing the technology asset over an estimated fifteen year life.

The Company reviews intangible assets at least annually for impairment using its best estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections. The Company performs impairment testing annually on October 1 or more often if impairment indicators are present.

Goodwill—Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations. The Company’s goodwill is accounted for in a single reporting unit representing the Company as a whole. The Company performs impairment testing annually on October 1 or more often if impairment indicators are present.

Contingent Consideration and Other Noncurrent Liabilities—This balance consists of contingent consideration from business combinations, as well as deferred payroll taxes as a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), asset retirement obligations and other contractual obligations. The contingent consideration balance is included in noncurrent liabilities as settlement is expected to be made primarily in shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the SentreHEART, Inc. (SentreHEART) merger agreement.

Other Income (Expense)—Other income (expense) consists primarily of foreign currency transaction gains and losses generated by settlements of intercompany balances denominated in Euros and customer invoices transacted in British Pounds.

Taxes—Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income 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 income tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company’s estimate of the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets requires significant estimates and judgments about future operating results. Deferred income tax assets are reduced by valuation allowances if, based on the consideration of all available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred income tax asset will not be realized. Significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. The Company evaluates deferred income tax assets on an annual basis to determine if valuation allowances are required. Deferred income tax assets are realized by having sufficient future taxable income to allow the related tax benefits to reduce taxes otherwise payable. The sources of taxable income that may be available to realize the benefit of deferred income tax assets are future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, carryforwards and tax planning strategies that are both prudent and feasible. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the existence of cumulative losses in recent years is significant objectively verifiable negative evidence that must be overcome by objectively verifiable positive evidence to avoid the need to record a valuation allowance. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against substantially all net deferred income tax assets as it is more-likely-than-not that the benefit of the deferred income tax assets will not be recognized in future periods. The Company has not reclassified income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings due to its full valuation allowance.

Net Loss Per Share—Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Since the Company has experienced net losses for all periods presented, net loss per share excludes the effect of stock options, restricted stock shares, restricted stock units and performance award shares totaling 1,807 and 2,770 as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 because they are anti-dilutive. Therefore, the number of shares calculated for basic net loss per share is also used for the diluted net loss per share calculation.

Comprehensive Loss and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)—In addition to net losses, the comprehensive loss includes foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on investments.

Research and Development Costs—Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs include compensation and other internal and external costs associatedfiled with the development of and research related to new and existing products or concepts, preclinical studies, clinical trials and related regulatory activities, as well as amortization of technology assets.

Advertising CostsThe Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were not significant during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Share-Based Compensation—The Company records share-based compensation for all share-based payment awards, including stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares (PSAs) and stock purchases related to an employee stock purchase plan, based on estimated fair values. The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense over the service period. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises them, as necessary, in subsequent periods as actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $7,141 and $6,193 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and $13,745 and $10,577 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

The Company estimates the fair value of time-based options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (Black-Scholes model). The Company’s determination of the fair value is affected by the Company’s stock price, as well as assumptions regarding several subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units based upon the grant date closing market price of the Company’s common stock.

The Company estimates the fair value of PSAs with a performance condition based on the closing stock price on the date of grant assuming the performance goal will be achieved and may adjust expense over the performance period based on changes to estimates of performance target achievement. If such goals are not met or service is not rendered for the requisite service period, no compensation cost is recognized, and any recognized compensation cost will be reversed. For PSAs with a market condition, a Monte Carlo simulation is performed to estimate the fair value on the date of grant, and compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period as the employee renders service, even if the market condition is not satisfied. The Company’s determination of the fair value is affected by the Company and the peer group’s stock price, as defined by the award agreement, at the beginning of the service period and grant date, the expected volatility of the Company and peer group’s stock price over the performance period and the correlation coefficient of the daily returns for the Company and peer group over the performance period.

The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) which is available to all eligible employees as defined by the plan document. Under the ESPP, shares of the Company’s common stock may be purchased at a discount. The Company estimates the number of shares to be purchased under the ESPP at the beginning of each purchase period based upon the fair value of the stock at the beginning of the purchase period using the Black-Scholes model and records estimated compensation expense during the purchase period. Expense is adjusted at the time of stock purchase.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including intangible assets, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions believed to be reasonable by management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segments—The chief operating decision maker for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied only by information about revenue by product type and geographic area, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single operating segment. The Company’s long-lived assets are located primarily in the United States, except for $1,516 as of June 30, 2022 and $1,399 as of December 31, 2021 located primarily in Europe.
Net Loss Per Share—Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Since the Company has experienced net losses for all periods presented, net loss per share excludes the effect of 1,548 and 1,807 stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units and performance award shares as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 because they are anti-dilutive. Therefore, the number of shares calculated for basic net loss per share is also used for the diluted net loss per share calculation.
2.FAIR VALUE

The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three-levelsthree levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

(In Thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
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.

The Company classifies cash and investments in government and agency obligations, accounts receivable, short-term other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value due to their relatively short-term nature. Cash equivalents and investments in corporate bonds, commercial paper and asset-backed securities are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of fixed term debt is estimated by calculating the net present value of future debt payments at current market interest rates and is classified as Level 2. The book value of the Company’s fixed term debt approximates its fair value because the interest rate varies with market rates.

The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021:

Contingent Consideration. The Company’s contingent consideration arrangements arising from the SentreHEART acquisition obligate the Company to pay certain defined amounts to former shareholders of SentreHEART if specified milestones are met related to the aMAZE IDE clinical trial, including PMA approval and reimbursement for the therapy involving SentreHEART’s devices. See Note 12 for further discussion. As of December 31, 2020, the terms of the contingent consideration arrangements under the nContact merger agreement expired.

The Company measures contingent consideration liabilities using unobservable inputs by applyinghas assessed the probability-weighted scenario method, an income approach. Various key assumptions, such asprojected probability of payment during the probability and timing ofcontractual achievement of the agreed milestones, are significantperiods to the determination ofbe remote, resulting in no remaining fair value of contingent consideration arrangements and are not observable in the market, thus representing a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

The recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of the contingent consideration liabilities include the following significant inputs as of June 30, 2021:

Contingent consideration liabilities are periodically measured, with changes in the estimated fair value reflected in selling, general2022 and administrative expenses. Changes in the discount rate, projected time until payment and probability of payment may result in materially different fair value measurements. A decrease in the discount rate would result in a higher fair value measurement, while a decrease in the probability of payment would result in a lower fair value measurement. Movement in the forecasted timing of achievement to later in the milestone periods would cause a decrease in the fair value measurement. The fair valueDecember 31, 2021.

Legal. The Company may, from time to time, become a party to legal proceedings. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and to outcomes of which the financial impacts are not predictable with assurance and that may not be known for extended periods of time. A liability is established once management determines a loss is probable and an amount that can be reasonably estimated.

The Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) from the U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ) in December 2017 stating that it is investigating the Company to determine whether the Company has violated the False Claims Act, relating to the promotion of certain medical devices related to the treatment of atrial fibrillation for off-label use and submitted or caused to be submitted false claims to certain federal and state health care programs for medically unnecessary healthcare services related to the treatment of atrial fibrillation. The CID covers the period from January 2010 to December 2017 and required the production of documents and answers to written interrogatories. The Company had no knowledge of the investigation prior to receipt of the CID. The Company maintains rigorous policies and procedures to promote compliance with the False Claims Act and other applicable regulatory requirements. The Company provided the USDOJ with documents and answers to the written interrogatories. In March 2021, USDOJ informed the Company that its investigation was based on a lawsuit brought under federal and state False Claims Acts, and thaton behalf of the United States and various state and local governments under the various states named inqui tam provisions of federal and certain state and local False Claims Acts. Although the lawsuit were electing notUSDOJ and all of the state and local governments declined to intervene, inthe relator continues to pursue the case. USDOJ subsequently filed a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention and to Unseal Complaint, andWhile the Company is vigorously contesting the case, was unsealed. Itit is not possible to predict when this matter may be resolved or what impact, if any, the outcome of this matter might have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company acquired nContact Surgical, Inc. pursuant to a merger agreement dated October 4, 2015.

8. REVENUE

Revenue is generated primarily from the saleleft atrial appendage, and blocking pain by temporarily ablating peripheral nerves. These devices are developed and marketed to a broad base of medical devices.centers globally. The Company recognizes revenue when control of promised goods is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those devices when control of promised devices is transferred to customers. At contract inception, the Company assesses the products promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a product that is distinct. The Company’s devices are distinct and represent performance obligations. These performance obligations are satisfied, and revenue is recognized at a point in time upon shipment or delivery of products. Sales of devices are categorized as follows: open ablation, minimally invasive ablation, appendage management and valve tools. Shipping and handling activities performed after control over products transfers to customers are considered activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the products rather than as separate promises to customers.

Products are sold primarily through a direct sales force and through distributors in certain international markets. Terms of sale are generally consistent for both end-users and distributors except that payment terms are generally net 30 days for end-users and net 60 days for distributors, with some exceptions. The Company does not maintain any post-shipping obligations to customers. No installation, calibration or testing of products is performed by the Company subsequent to shipment in order to render products operational.

Significant judgments and estimates involved in the Company’s recognition of revenue include the estimation of a provision for returns. The Company estimates the provision for sales returns and allowances using the expected value method based on historical experience and other factors that we believe could impact our expected returns, including defective or damaged products and invoice adjustments. In the normal course of business, the Company generally does not accept product returns unless a product is defective as manufactured. The Company does not provide customers with the right to a refund.

The Company expects to be entitled to the total consideration for the products ordered by customers as product pricing is fixed according to the terms of customer contracts and payment terms are short. Payment terms fall within the one-year guidance for the

practical expedient which allows the Company to forgo adjustment of the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. The Company excludes taxes assessed by governmental authorities on revenue-producing transactions from the measurement of the transaction price.

Costs associated with product sales include commissions and royalties. Considering that product sales are performance obligations in contracts that are satisfied at a point in time, commission expense associated with product sales and royalties paid based on sales of certain products is incurred at that point in time rather than over time. Therefore, the Company applies the practical expedient and recognizes commissions and royalties as expense when incurred because the expense is incurred at a point in time and the amortization period is less than one year. Commissions are included in selling expense while royalties are included in cost of revenue.

9. INCOME TAX PROVISION

The Company files federal, state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The Company uses the asset and liability method to determine its provision for income taxes. The Company’s provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying the discrete method and is based on financial results through the end of the interim period. The Company determined that using the discrete method is more appropriate than using the annual effective tax rate method. The Company is unable to estimate the annual effective tax rate with sufficient precision to use the effective tax rate method, which requires a full-year projection of income. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 was (0.41%(0.30%) and (0.15%(0.41%). The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 was (0.29%(0.34%) and (0.08%(0.29%). The Company’s worldwide effective tax rate differs from the US statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the Company’s valuation allowance in the United States and Netherlands.

allowance.

Federal, state and local returns of the Company are routinely subject to review by various taxing authorities. The Company has not accrued any interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits as a result of offsetting of net operating losses. However, if required, the Company will recognize interest and penalties within income tax expense and within the related tax liability.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In July 2021, the Company was informed that data from the aMAZE clinical trial did not achieve statistical superiority. Specifically, while the trial met the safety endpoint, the trial did not meet the primary efficacy endpoint. The Company is in the process of analyzing the aMAZE trial data and determining next steps for the trial and any related future development activities. While it is too early to ascertain the full impact to our financial statements, we anticipate that we may identify indicators of impairment for the IPR&D asset that represents an estimateunrealized gains (losses) on investments.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of the fair valuefollowing, net of the PMA that could result from the aMAZE clinical trial. The potential adjustment to the IPR&D asset that may be necessary as a result of any required interim impairment analysis may be material. Additionally, the Company also expects to assess adjustments to the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements arising from the SentreHEART acquisition, as such arrangements were success-based milestone payments. While we are unable to estimate the anticipated financial impact at this time, we expect potential adjustments, which may be material, will be recognized and reported within the second half of 2021. These adjustments could impact the Company’s future results of operations and financial condition.

Overview

We are a leading innovator in treatments for atrial fibrillation (Afib) and, left atrial appendage (LAA) management and post-operative pain management. Afib affects 1-2% of the population in the United States and an estimated 33 million people worldwide. It is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, encountered in clinical practice and results in high utilization of healthcare services. Patients often progress from being in Afib intermittently (paroxysmal) to being in Afib continuously. The continuous Afib patient population includes persistent Afib, which lasts seven days to one year, and long-standing persistent Afib, which lasts longer than one year. Afib often occurs in conjunction with other cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, congestive heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction, coronary artery disease and valvular disease. Our ablation and left atrial appendage management (LAAM) products are used by physicians during both open-heart and minimally invasive procedures. In open-heart procedures, the physician is performing heart surgery for other conditions, and our products are used in conjunction with (“concomitant” to) such a procedure. Minimally invasive procedures are performed on a standalone basis, and often include multi-disciplinary or “hybrid” approaches, combining both surgical procedures using AtriCure ablation and LAAM products andwith catheter ablation.

We have several product lines forbelieve that we are currently the ablationmarket leader in the surgical treatment of cardiac tissue, including ourAfib. Our Isolator® Synergy™ Ablation System is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of persistent and long-standing persistent forms of Afib concomitant to other open-heart surgical procedures. TheOur EPi-Sense® systemSystem is approved by FDA to treat patients with long-standing persistent Afib. All of our other ablation devices are approvedcleared for sale in the United States under FDA 510(k) clearances, including our other RFradio frequency (RF) and cryoablation products, which are indicated for the ablation of cardiac tissue and/or the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. In addition, certain of our cryoablation probes are cleared for managing pain by temporarily ablating peripheral nerves.nerves, or Cryo Nerve Block therapy. Our AtriClip® LAA Exclusion System products are 510(k)-cleared with an indication for the exclusion of the heart’s LAA, performed under direct visualization and in conjunction with other cardiac surgical procedures. Direct visualization, in this context, requires that the surgeon is able to see the heart directly, with or without assistance from a camera, endoscope or other appropriate viewing technologies. Studies have demonstrated exclusion of the LAA with AtriClip also results in electrical isolation of the LAA. The LARIAT®LARIAT® system is cleared under the 510(k) process for soft tissue ligation. Several of our products are currently being studied to expand labeling

Recent Developments

Throughout 2020

During 2022, we continued to experience variability and the beginning of the first quarter of 2021, we experienced a significant decrease inintermittent demand for our products asnon-emergent procedures were being indeterminately deferred in order to preserve resources for COVID-19 patients and caregivers and to protect patients from potential exposure to COVID-19. While we have seenhospital staffing was impacted by the pandemic and related factors. We saw many regions begin to stabilize through the quarter with overall improvements in procedure volumes, there continues to bevolumes. However, we expect some variability throughout our international markets and uncertainty as variants of the virus emerge. We can make no assurance regarding any future level of demand for our products, and COVID-19 may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

We are continuing to serve our customers while taking every precaution to provide a safe work environment for our employees and customers. Field-based sales and clinical employees continue to support cases, using technology to engage with customers in virtual settings when physical access is prohibited. We are maintaining manufacturing and fulfillment operations to continue providing products to our customers. We continue to modify our remote working protocols and evaluate hybrid work models for our office-based employees, andas we will take further actionsoperate in the best interests of our employees ormany geographic regions with diverse restrictions that are impacted as required by law.

new COVID-19 variants emerge. Despite the challenging environment resulting from the pandemic, weour worldwide revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $159,105, representing an increase of $28,454, or 21.8%, over the first six months of 2021, driven by growing adoption across key product lines. We continue to build on our strategic initiatives of product innovation, investing in clinical science and expanding awareness and adoption by providing superior training and education.We remain confident in our liquidity position, which includes cash and investments of $229,635 as of June 30, 2021, and access to additional funding through our credit facility.

PRODUCT INNOVATION. In July 2021,During the first half of 2022, we receivedlaunched our ENCOMPASS® clamp, following the receipt of 510(k) clearance for the new ENCOMPASS® clamp and are preparing for the subsequent market launchablation of cardiac tissue during cardiac surgery in lateJuly 2021. The ENCOMPASS clamp marks innovation in our core open ablation market and is designed to make concomitant surgical ablations more efficient. It is expected to drive deeper penetration of cardiac surgery procedures.

CLINICAL SCIENCE. We continue to invest in studies to expand labeling claims or support various indications for our products, and we also conduct various studies to gather clinical data regarding our products.
HEAL-IST. In February 2022, FDA approved the protocol for the Hybrid Epicardial and Endocardial Sinus Node Sparing Ablation Therapy for Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia (IST) clinical trial (HEAL-IST) . The HEAL-IST clinical trial is designed to study the safety and efficacy of a hybrid sinus node sparing ablation procedure using the Isolator Synergy Surgical Ablation System for the treatment of symptomatic, drug refractory or drug intolerant IST. The trial is a prospective, multicenter, single arm trial that evaluates safety 30 days post-procedure and evaluates primary effectiveness of freedom from IST (as specified) at 12 months post-procedure. The trial provides for enrollment of up to 142 patients at up to 40 sites in the United States, United Kingdom and European Union. We announced the first patient enrollment in the trial in June 2022; site initiation and enrollment is ongoing.
LeAAPS. In April 2022, FDA approved the protocol for the Left Atrial Appendage Exclusion for Prophylactic Stroke Reduction (LeAAPS) IDE clinical trial. The trial is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic LAA exclusion using the AtriClip LAA Exclusion System for the prevention of ischemic stroke or systemic arterial embolism in cardiac surgery patients without pre-operative AF diagnosis who are at risk for these events. The trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial that evaluates safety at 30 days post-procedure to demonstrate no increased risk with LAA exclusion during cardiac surgery. The trial provides for enrollment of up to 6,500 subjects at up to 250 sites worldwide. The Company anticipates enrollment to begin later this year.
TRAINING. Our professional education and marketing teams have adapted to the pandemic by conducting onlineconduct virtual, in-person and mobile trainingstraining for physicians and our sales team.teams. These adaptations expanded our training methods and ensuredensure invaluable access to continuing education and awareness of our products and related procedures. The recent2021 FDA approval of the EPi-Sense system has enabled us to educate and train physicians on the benefits of Hybrid AFAF™ therapy in treating long-standing persistent Afib patients, with the first training course held in June 2021.

CLINICAL SCIENCE. We continue to invest in studies to expand labeling claims or support indications for the treatment of Afib,patients. Our Hybrid Training Course and we also conduct various studies to gather clinical data regarding our products. In April 2021, we announced the PMA approval of the EPi-Sense system for treatment of symptomatic, drug-refractory, long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation, when augmented with an endocardial ablation catheter. We believe the Convergent procedure, orAdvanced Hybrid AF therapy, provides the only compelling treatment option for a large and vastly underpenetrated patient population. The CONVERGE™ trial demonstrated superiority in the hybrid AF™ therapy arm compared to endocardial catheter ablation alone. In patients diagnosed with long-standing persistent Afib, the hybrid therapy arm showed a 29% absolute difference in efficacy at 12 months (78% relative improvement) and an absolute difference of 35% at 18 months (110% relative improvement). There was also a 33% absolute difference in Afib burden reduction in favor of the hybrid AF therapy at 12 months, which increased to 37% at 18 months.

aMAZE. Enrollment was completed in December 2019. Patient follow-up for twelve months post pulmonary vein isolation catheter ablation is requiredAblation Training Course are co-sponsored by the study protocol and was completed in April 2021. Hearth Rhythm Society (HRS).In January 2020, we received approval for a Continued Access Protocol (CAP) for the aMAZE study. The aMAZE CAP provides for additional enrollment of up to 85 patients at existing aMAZE trial sites, with the opportunity to further expand to 250 patients while the PMA application is under review. In July 2021, the Company was informed that data from the aMAZE clinical trial did not achieve statistical superiority. Specifically, while the trial met the safety endpoint, the trial did not meet the primary efficacy endpoint. The Company is in the process of analyzing the aMAZE trial data and determining next steps for the trial and any related future development activities.

Total revenue$84,529 $71,376 $13,153 18.4  %
Worldwide revenue increased 74.8% (73.5% on a constant currency basis) as we experienced recovery from the significant impact of COVID-19 on our second quarter 2020 results, patient backlog was addressed and we saw growth across our product lines. Revenue from customers in the United States increased $26,406, or 78.4% while revenue from international customers increased $4,146 or 57.9% (50.2%18.4% (19.8% on a constant currency basis). In the United States, we experienced growth in most of our key product lines. Physician acceptance of our cryoSPHERE® probe for post-operative pain management and expanded sales efforts drove growth in pain management revenue. Appendage management sales were driven by continuing adoption of our AtriClip® Flex⋅V® and Pro⋅V® devices, while the launch of the new ENCOMPASS clamp accelerated growth in our open ablation revenue. While minimally invasive procedures continue to experience residual impacts from the pandemic and staffing, we saw growing adoption of the EPi-Sense® System in an increasing customer base. The increase in EPi-Sense revenue was largely offset by a decline in revenue from all other minimally invasive ablation products. International sales increased $9,289 (59.7%) from stabilizing cardiac surgery17.3% (26.3% on a constant currency basis), a result of rebounding procedure volumes in Europe, primarily in the Netherlands and United Kingdom, and growth in Cryo Nerve Block therapy. Minimally invasive (MIS) ablation sales, which represent the most elective and deferrable procedures, increased $4,947 (104.0%) driven by the receding impact of COVID-19 in 2021 and Hybrid AF therapy procedure growth from the PMA approval of the EPi-Sense system in late April 2021. Rising open and MIS surgical procedures boosted AtriClip volumes, resulting in anAustralia. The increase in international revenue was driven mainly by our appendage management salesbusiness which grew 35.1%.

Table of $12,135 (93.2%). Similar to the results in the United States, international revenue increased in most major markets and across product lines.Contents

Revenue reported on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated by applying previous period foreign currency (Euro) exchange rates, which are determined by the average daily Euro to Dollar exchange rate, to each of the comparable periods. Revenue is analyzed on a constant currency basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Because changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact on revenue, we believe that evaluating growth in revenue growth on a constant currency basis provides an additional and meaningful assessment of revenue to both management and our investors.

Cost of revenue and gross margin. Cost of revenue increased $4,128$3,712, reflecting primarily the increase in revenue. Throughout the three months ended June 30, 2020, productionhigher sales volumes, were reduced below our normal operating levels, leading to an increase in fixed costs burdened to cost of revenue. Grosswhile gross margin increased more than 800decreased approximately 70 basis points, benefiting from both increased revenue as well as normal production activityreflecting changes in 2021, as compared to the fixed costs burden during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to beneficial geographicU.S. product mix and product mix.cost increases driven by inflationary and supply chain pressures.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased $2,161,$2,594 or 21.5%,21.3%. Personnel costs rose $1,372 from increased headcount as we continue to build our product development, regulatory and clinical teams, and from increased travel costs. Product development and regulatory expenses increased $869 driven mainly by a $1,483 increase in personnel costregulatory filings, submissions and a $650 increase in clinical activity primarilyconsulting related to compliance with the aMAZEEuropean Union Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR). Amortization expense increased $247 following the April 2021 PMA resulting from the CONVERGE IDE clinical trial.

Uses of liquidity and capital resources. Our executive officers and Board of Directors review our funding sources and future capital requirements in connection with our annual operating plan and periodic updates to the plan. Our future capital requirements depend on a number of factors, including, without limitation: market acceptance of our current and future products; the resources we devotecosts to developingdevelop and supportingsupport our products;products, including professional training; future expenses to supportexpand and expandsupport our sales and marketing efforts; operating and filing costs relating to changes in regulatory policies or laws that affect our operations and cost of filings;laws; costs associated withfor clinical trials and securingto secure regulatory approval for new products; costs associated with acquiringto prosecute, defend and integrating businesses; costs associated with prosecuting, defending and enforcingenforce our intellectual property rights; maintenance and enhancements to our information systems and security; and possible acquisitions and joint ventures.ventures, including potential business integration costs. We continue to evaluate additional measures to maintain financial flexibility, and we will continue to closely monitor our liquidity and capital resources through the recovery from, and any further disruptions caused by, COVID-19.

We have on file with the SEC a shelf registration statement which allows us to sell any combination Our principal cash requirements include costs of senior or subordinated debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, depository shares and units in one or more offerings should we choose to do so in the future. We expect to maintain the effectiveness of this shelf registration statement for the foreseeable future.

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and investments, along with the cash we expect to generate or use for operations, or access via our revolving line of credit, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures, for at least the next twelve months. The SentreHEART acquisition provides for contingent consideration to be paid upon PMA approval before December 2023 and CPT reimbursement before December 2026. Subject to the terms and conditions of the SentreHEART merger agreement, such contingent consideration is expected to be paid primarily in AtriCure common stock, up to a specified maximum number of shares. Over the next twelve months, we do not expect our cash requirements to include significant cash payments for contingent consideration based on progress towards achievement of the related milestones and terms of the acquisition agreement.

If our sources of cash are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a revised or additional credit facility. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities could have rights senior to those associated with our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Finally, our term loan agreement and revolving line of credit require compliance with certain financialservice costs and other covenants. If we are unable to maintain these financing arrangements, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned research and development, clinical activities and selling, training, education and marketing efforts.contractual obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to sales returns and allowances, accounts receivable, inventories, intangible assets including goodwill, contingent liabilitiesshare-based compensation and share-based compensation.income taxes. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for making estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates under

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer (the Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (the Principal Accounting and Financial Officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d) -15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s forms and rules, and the material information relating to the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that control objectives are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company will be detected. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by individuals, by collusion of two or more people or by management override. Over time, controls can become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance may deteriorate. Further, the design of any system of controls is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in any cost-effective control system, misstatements due to errors or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In the ordinary course of business, we routinely enhance our information systems by either upgrading current systems or implementing new ones. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 20212022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for the following:

Our success depends, in part, on the commercial success of the EPi-Sense device for the treatment of Afib following FDA pre-market approval of this product.

On April 29, 2021, we announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the EPi-Sense® System to treat patients diagnosed with long-standing persistent Afib. Our success depends, in part, on the medical community’s acceptance of this and other of our products in the United States, which is the largest revenue market in the world for medical devices. We expect that our future revenue will depend largely on the increasing acceptance by the medical community of our products as standard of care for treating Afib. The U.S. medical community’s acceptance of this and other of our products will depend upon our ability to demonstrate the safety and efficacy, advantages, long-term clinical performance and cost-effectiveness of our products. In addition, acceptance of products for the treatment of Afib is dependent upon, among other factors, the level of awareness and education of the medical community about the surgical treatment of Afib and the existence, effectiveness and safety of our products. Market acceptance and adoption of our products or procedures for the treatment of Afib, including but not limited to, the EPi-Sense System, also depends on the level of health insurer (including Medicare) reimbursement to physicians and hospitals for procedures using our products. Negative publicity resulting from incidents involving our products, or similar products, could have a significant adverse effect on the overall acceptance of our products. Market acceptance could be delayed by lack of surgeon willingness to attend training sessions by the time required to complete this training or by state or institutional restrictions on our ability to provide training. If we are unable to gain and/or maintain such support, training services and collaboration, our ability to grow the market for our products may be impacted and we may not be able to increase our revenue enough to achieve or sustain profitability, and our business and operating results may be seriously harmed.

The outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) has materially and adversely affected demand for our products and with prolonged delays or significant resurgences of the virus, could affect the demand for our products and impact our clinical trials, causing disruption to our business and negatively impacting our results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to risks related to public health crises such as the global pandemic associated with COVID-19, including the “Delta variant”. The COVID-19 outbreak has negatively impacted and, in the future may negatively impact, our operations and revenues and overall financial condition by significantly decreasing the number of procedures performed with our products. The number of procedures performed during 2020 and early 2021 significantly decreased as health care organizations globally deferred non-emergent procedures to preserve resources and prioritized the treatment of patients with COVID-19 and protect patients from potential exposure to COVID-19. For example, in the United States, governmental authorities recommended, and in certain cases required, that elective, specialty and other procedures and appointments, be suspended or canceled to avoid non-essential patient exposure to medical environments and potential infection with COVID-19 and focused limited resources and personnel on the treatment of COVID-19. Although we have seen a decrease in such measures over the last six to nine months, we expect that challenges resulting from these recommendations and requirements will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic, which is uncertain, and may significantly reduce our revenue while the pandemic continues.

Our business was most impacted in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020, in terms of the decline in patients and revenue from the shelter-in-place restrictions in a majority of countries and limitations on procedures in hospitals. We experienced sequential quarterly improvement beginning with the third quarter of 2020 as patient procedure volume trends and availability of healthcare resources improved as certain restrictions were lifted and limitations eased even though our 2020 third and fourth quarter revenue was below that in prior year periods. Despite these challenges, we experienced increased recovery in patient utilization and revenue during the first and second quarters of 2021; however, there continues to be variability as variants of the virus emerge and may significantly reduce our revenue while the pandemic continues.

Numerous state and local jurisdictions have imposed, and others in the future may impose, “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Such orders or restrictions have resulted in slowdowns and delays, travel restrictions and cancellation of events, among other effects. Other disruptions or potential disruptions include restrictions on our personnel and partners to travel and access customers for training and case support; delays in approvals by regulatory bodies; delays in product development efforts; and additional government requirements or other incremental mitigation efforts that may further impact our or our suppliers’ capacity to manufacture, sell and support the use of our products. Although we have seen a decrease in such measures over the last six to nine months, we expect that challenges resulting from these recommendations and requirements will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic, which is uncertain.

We may experience diversion of healthcare resources away from the conduct of clinical trials, including the diversion of hospitals serving as our clinical trial sites. Key clinical trial activities, such as clinical trial site monitoring, subject visits and study procedures, may be interrupted due to limitations imposed or recommended by federal or state governments, trial sites, employers or

2021.

others. We may also encounter interruption or delays in the operations of FDA or other regulatory authorities, which may impact review and approval timelines.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the trading price of shares of our common stock and could impact our ability to raise additional capital on a timely basis or at all. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which COVID-19 may impact our business, including our nonclinical activities, clinical trials and financial condition, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, such as the geographic spread of the disease (including new variants of COVID-19), the duration and severity of the pandemic, travel restrictions, business closures or business disruptions, the distribution and efficacy of vaccines and other treatments, U.S. and foreign government actions to respond to the reduction in global economic activity, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks set forth in the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Disruptions of critical information systems or material breaches in the security of our systems could harm our business, customer relations and financial condition.

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our customers, suppliers and business partners, and personally identifiable information of our customers and employees in our data centers and on our networks. The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to our operations and business strategy. Like other companies, we experience attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems and information on a regular basis. Despite our security measures, including employee training, our information technology and infrastructure are vulnerable to cyber-attacks, malicious intrusions, breakdowns, destruction, loss of data privacy, breaches due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated and frequent, and our systems could be the target of malware and other cyber-attacks. We have invested in our systems and the protection of our data to reduce the risk of an intrusion or interruption, and we monitor our systems on an ongoing basis for any current or potential threats. We can give no assurances that these measures and efforts will prevent interruptions or breakdowns. If we are unable to detect or prevent a security breach or cyber-attack or other disruption from occurring, then we could incur losses or damage to our data, or inappropriate disclosure of our confidential information or that of others; and we could sustain damage to our reputation and customer and employee relationships, suffer disruptions to our business and incur increased operating costs including costs to mitigate any damage caused and protect against future damage, and be exposed to additional regulatory scrutiny or penalties and to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating margins, revenues and competitive position.

We also rely in part on information technology to store information, interface with customers, maintain financial accuracy, secure our data and accurately produce our financial statements. If our information technology systems do not effectively and securely collect, store, process and report relevant data for the operation of our business, whether due to equipment malfunction or constraints, software deficiencies, human error or cyber incident, our ability to effectively plan, forecast and execute our business plan and comply with applicable laws and regulations could be materially impaired. Any such impairment could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and the timeliness with which we report our operating results.
