The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Basis of Presentation In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of its condensed consolidated statements of financial position as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and its condensed consolidated statements of results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020. The December 31, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year or any other interim period. Presentation of certain prior year balances have been updated to conform with current year presentation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s previously filed audited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 23, 2021. Risks and Uncertainties The Company's future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company's future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, continued acceptance of the Company's products, stability of global financial markets, cybersecurity breaches and other disruptions that could compromise the Company’s information or results, business disruptions that are caused by natural disasters or pandemic events, management of international activities, competition from substitute products and larger companies, ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals, government regulations and oversight, patent and other types of litigation, ability to protect proprietary technology from counterfeit versions of the Company's products, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The COVID-19 outbreak has negatively affected the United States and global economies. Though the economy is gradually recovering as of the second quarter of 2021, the timing and extent of a full global economic recovery is still uncertain. The spread of the coronavirus and the Delta variant in particular, has impacted the global economy broadly in 2020, including restrictions on travel, shifting work forces to work remotely and quarantine policies put into place by businesses and governments, had a material economic effect on the Company’s business during the year ended December 31, 2020 and in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Healthcare facilities in many countries effectively banned elective procedures and this had a significant impact on the Company. Many of the Company’s products are used in aesthetic elective procedures and as such, the bans on elective procedures substantially reduced the Company’s sales and marketing efforts in the early months of the pandemic and led the Company to implement cost control measures. Although the Company’s revenues and profits have improved compared to the first half of fiscal 2020 and the overall economic outlook has also improved in 2021, the COVID-19 outbreak continues to be fluid especially in light of the Delta variant, and the long-term impact on the Company's business due to COVID-19 is still uncertain. The Company cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any impacts in future periods from business shutdowns or disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the impact on economic activity including the possibility of recession or financial market instability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, revenue, operating results, cash flows and financial condition. The Company continues to assess whether any impairment of its goodwill or its long-lived assets has occurred and has determined that no charges, other than an impairment loss of $0.2 million on capitalized implementation costs of cloud-based customer relationship management (“CRM”) software occurred were necessary during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company will continue to monitor future conditions important to its assessment of potential impairment of its long-lived assets and goodwill, including the impacts of the COVID–19 pandemic and other ongoing impacts which are subject to uncertainty. The Company has experienced a significant increase in sales of skincare products under the exclusive distribution agreement with ZO Skin Health, Inc. (“ZO”), which allows the Company to sell ZO’s skincare products in Japan. The reason for the increase in skincare products sales may have been the result of changes in customers’ spending habits as customers purchased more aesthetic treatments that were able to be applied at home, due to limitations on in-person aesthetic procedures, social distancing and mask wearing requirements due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Future growth in sales of skincare products depends on customers’ spending habits, which may revert to original spending habits after the COVID-19 pandemic. Such changes may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenue, operating results, and cash flows. Accounting Policies These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim financial statements. While these statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 23, 2021. The Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, amounts presented within the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements refer to the Company’s continuing operations. Note 13 provides information about the Company’s adoption of the new accounting standard for debt with conversion and other options, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The Company issued $138.3 million of convertible senior notes ("Notes" or "Convertible notes") in a private placement offering on March 5, 2021. The Convertible notes bear interest at a rate of 2.25% per year. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-6, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity ’ s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), the Company recorded the Convertible notes as long-term debt with no separation between the Convertible notes and the conversion option. Each reporting period, the Company will determine whether any criteria is met for the note holders to have the option to redeem the Convertible notes early, which will result in a change in the classification of the Convertible notes to current liabilities. The circumstances described in the paragraph above were met during the second quarter of 2021 as the Company's stock traded at a price in excess of the conversion price, and as a result, the Notes are convertible at the option of the holder from July 1, 2021 until September 30, 2021. Upon any conversion of the Convertible notes, the Company would be required to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election. To the extent there are any conversions during the period from July 1, 2021 until September 30, 2021, the Company intends to settle such conversions by issuing shares of common stock; therefore, as of June 30, 2021, the Convertible notes have been included as long term liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The costs associated with issuance of the Convertible notes, including underwriters’ fees, are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Convertible notes. The debt issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the Convertible notes as additional non-cash interest expense. In connection with issuance of the Convertible notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain option counterparties. The capped call transactions are generally designated to reduce the potential dilution of the Company's common stock upon any conversion of the Notes. The capped calls were purchased for $16.1 million and recorded as a reduction to additional paid in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021. The Company capitalized cloud computing systems implementation costs of $0.6 million during the three months ending June 30, 2021. These costs relate to an on-going implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning system and are included in Other long-term assets and Other current assets and prepaid expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to warranty obligations, sales commission, allowance for credit losses, sales allowances, valuation of inventories, fair value of goodwill, useful lives of property and equipment, impairment testing for long-lived-assets, implicit and incremental borrowing rates related to the Company’s leases, variables used in calculating the fair value of the Company's equity awards, expected achievement of performance based vesting criteria, management performance bonuses, assumptions used in operating and sales-type lease classification, the standalone selling price of the Company's products and services, the period of benefit used to capitalize and amortize contract acquisition costs, variable consideration, contingent liabilities, recoverability of deferred tax assets, residual value of leased equipment, lease term and effective income tax rates. Management bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740)-Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , to remove certain exceptions and improve consistency of application, including, among other things, requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The Company adopted this guidance in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-6, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Topic 470) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815), to simplify the accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the beneficial conversion and cash conversion separation models for convertible instruments. Under the amendment, the embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. The update also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the computation of diluted earnings per share. The Company early adopted the guidance on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2021. See Note 13 – Debt. |
