Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company's financial results are affected by the selection and application of accounting policies and methods. There were no material changes in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to the application of significant accounting policies and estimates as described in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 which mitigates potential risks related to concentration. The Company had $0.6 million as of June 30, 2023 and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2022 held in foreign bank accounts that are not federally insured. In addition, the cash held in U.S bank accounts exceeds the federally insured limits. The Company and its contract manufacturers rely on sole source suppliers and service providers for certain components. A shortage or stoppage of shipments of the materials or components that the Company purchases could result in a delay in production or adversely affect the Company’s operating results. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, no customer represented greater than 10% of total revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, no customer represented greater than 10% of total revenue. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, there was no customer that represented greater than 10% of the total net receivable balance. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries including ImaTx, Inc., ConforMIS Europe GmbH, ConforMIS UK Limited, ConforMIS Hong Kong Limited, Conformis India LLP, and Conformis Cares LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash 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 and money market accounts. Demand deposits and money market accounts are carried at cost which approximates their fair value. The Company has recorded restricted cash of $0.5 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Restricted cash consisted of security provided for lease obligations. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows. June 30, December 31, Cash and cash equivalents $ 26,182 $ 48,667 Restricted cash 462 462 Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows $ 26,644 $ 49,129 Fair value of financial instruments Certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents (excluding money market 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. The carrying value of the debt approximates fair value because the interest rate under the obligation approximates market rates of interest available to the Company for similar instruments. Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses Accounts receivable consist of billed and unbilled amounts due from medical facilities or independent distributors (the "Customer"). Upon completion of a procedure, revenue is recognized and an unbilled receivable is recorded. Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), an enforceable contract is met either at or prior to the procedure being performed. Upon receipt of a purchase order from the Customer, the 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 orders 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 credit losses based on the aging of the underlying invoices, collections experience to date and any specific collection issues that have been identified. The allowance for credit losses 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 net 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, based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to inventory items sold at negative gross margin, purchase commitments and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized provisions of $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, to adjust its inventory value to the lower of cost or net realizable value for excess and obsolete reserves, and estimated unused product related to known and potential cancelled cases, which is included in cost of revenue. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized provisions of $0.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, to adjust its inventory value to the lower of cost or net realizable value for excess and obsolete reserves, and estimated unused product related to known and potential cancelled cases, which is included in cost of 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. Long-lived assets The Company tests impairment of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. If changes in circumstances lead the Company to believe that any of its long-lived assets may be impaired, the Company will test the asset group for recoverability, by evaluating whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows, including estimated residual value, generated from the asset group are sufficient to support the carrying value of the assets. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company had incurred current-period operating losses associated with its asset group, and as such, an assessment for recoverability was performed. Based on the assessment, the Company deemed its asset group to be recoverable, and no impairment charges were recognized for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Leases The Company has elected not to separate non-lease components from all classes of leases. Non-lease components have been accounted for as part of the single lease component to which they are related. Leases with an anticipated term, inclusive of renewals 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 terminate leases as well as purchase the underlying assets. The operating lease right-of-use assets are subsequently assessed for impairment in accordance with the Company's accounting policy for long-lived assets. Revenue Recognition Product Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when, or as, obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers. Revenue 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 made 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 when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of June 30, 2023. Payment is typically due between 30 and 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 determines standalone selling prices based on 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. Under the long-term Distribution Agreement with Stryker, the Company supplies patient specific instrumentation to Stryker and revenue is recognized at a point in time, that is, when Stryker obtains control of the products. Unconditional rights to consideration are reported as receivables. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The Company records a contract liability when there is an obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. As of January 1, 2023, the contract liability balance was $0.2 million. There was no contract liability balance recorded as of January 1, 2022. At June 30, 2023, the Company had $0.6 million of contract liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets derived from contracts with customers. There were no contract assets recorded at June 30, 2023. The Company did not have any contract assets or liabilities recorded at June 30, 2022. Royalty and Licensing Revenue Recognition The Company receives ongoing sales-based royalties under its license agreement (the "MicroPort License Agreement") with MicroPort Orthopedics Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MicroPort Scientific Corporation, (collectively, "MicroPort"). Royalty revenue is recorded at the expected value of the royalty revenue. On February 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with Bodycad Laboratories, Inc. ("Bodycad") and Exactech, Inc. ("Exactech"), collectively, (the "Defendants"), pursuant to which the parties have agreed to terms for resolving all of their existing patent disputes. In consideration of the licenses, releases, covenants and other immunities granted by the Company to the Defendants, the Company received an upfront payment following the execution of the Settlement and License Agreement, and will receive an additional payment by June 30, 2023. The agreement provides for the grant of the licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other significant deliverables upon receipt of full payment from. These individual rights are not accounted for as separate performance obligations as (i) the nature of the promise, within the context of the agreement, is to transfer combined items to which the promised rights are inputs and (ii) the Company's promise to transfer each individual right described above to the Defendants is not separately identifiable from other promises in the agreement. As a result, the Company accounts for the promises in the agreement as a single performance obligation. The Defendants legally obtained control of the licenses and other rights upon full payment to Conformis. As such, the earnings process was completed and revenue was recognized upon receipt of the full payment, and all other revenue recognition criteria had been met within the scope of ASC 606. On April 26, 2023, the Company entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with Exactech, pursuant to which the parties have agreed to terms for resolving all of their existing patent disputes. In consideration of the licenses, releases, covenants and other immunities granted by the Company to Exactech, the Company received a payment within 30 days following the execution of the agreement. The agreement provides for the grant of the licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other significant deliverables upon receipt of full payment from Exactech. These individual rights are not accounted for as separate performance obligations as (i) the nature of the promise, within the context of the agreement, is to transfer combined items to which the promised rights are inputs and (ii) the Company's promise to transfer each individual right described above to Exactech is not separately identifiable from other promises in the agreement. As a result, the Company accounts for the promises in the agreement as a single performance obligation. Exactech legally obtained control of the licenses and other rights upon full payment to Conformis and the completion of other deliverables. On April 8, 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Paragon 28, Inc. ("Paragon 28"), granting Paragon 28 a non-exclusive license under a subset of the Company's U.S. patents for the use of patient-specific instruments with off-the-shelf implants in Paragon 28’s APEX 3D Total Ankle Replacement System. In consideration for the license, the Company received $0.5 million upon execution of the License Agreement, another $0.5 million in October 2021, and received an additional $0.5 million from Paragon 28 on April 7, 2022. In connection with this License Agreement, the Company recognized revenue of $1.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The remaining $0.5 million was recognized as revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. On November 8, 2022 the Company entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with Medacta USA, ("Medacta"), pursuant to which both parties have agreed to terms for resolving all of their existing patent disputes. In consideration of the licenses, releases, covenants and other immunities granted by the Company to Medacta, Medacta was required to pay the Company a fee promptly after execution of the Settlement and License Agreement, which was received in full on December 12, 2022. The agreement provides for the grant of the licenses, covenants-not-to-sue, releases, and other significant deliverables upon receipt of the payment from Medacta. These individual rights are not accounted for as separate performance obligations as (i) the nature of the promise, within the context of the agreement, is to transfer combined items to which the promised rights are inputs and (ii) the Company's promise to transfer each individual right described above to Medacta is not separately identifiable from other promises in the agreement. As a result, the Company accounts for the promises in the agreement as a single performance obligation. Medacta legally obtained control of the license and other rights upon payment to Conformis. As such, the earnings process is complete and revenue was recognized upon receipt of the payment, and all other revenue recognition criteria had been met within the scope of ASC 606. In connection with the Settlement and License Agreement, the Company recognized licensing revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022. See “Note H—Commitments and Contingencies, Legal proceedings” for further discussion of the Medacta settlement. Disaggregation of Revenue See "Note K—Segment and Geographic Data" for disaggregated product revenue by geography and product category. 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 will not occur in a future period. The following table summarizes activity for rebate allowance reserve (in thousands): June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Beginning Balance $ 108 $ 79 Provision related to current period sales 104 126 Payments or credits issued to customers (91) (97) Ending Balance $ 121 $ 108 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 $1.0 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and $2.2 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 Conformis personalized joint replacement products and that the Company operates as one segment. See “Note K—Segment and Geographic Data.” 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. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions denominated in foreign currencies, including intercompany balances not of a long-term investment nature, are included in the Consolidated Statements of 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 the U.S., Germany, the United Kingdom, and India. The operating results of German operations will be permanently reinvested in that jurisdiction. As a result, the Company has only provided for income taxes at local rates when required. The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $31,000 and $(100,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $13,000 and $(66,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, a cumulative balance of $8,000 and $45,000 of interest and penalties had been accrued, respectively. Please note that as result of the conclusion of a 2017 - 2019 Germany tax audit, the Company has reversed the respective uncertain tax positions for those years, resulting in a reduction of interest and penalties, as they now apply to only tax years 2020 - 2022. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was enacted on August 16, 2022. Based on review of the IRA, the Company does not expect any impact to its tax provision. In particular, the Company does not expect to pay Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) in future years based on its projected losses and not reaching the income thresholds. The IRA introduces a 15% CAMT for corporations whose average annual adjusted financial statement income for any consecutive three-tax-year period preceding the tax year exceeds $1 billion starting in 2023. Stock-based compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Based Compensation ("ASC 718"). 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. Net loss per share The Company calculates net 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. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to stockholders (in thousands, except share and per share data): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (in thousands, except share and per share data) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Numerator: Basic and diluted loss per share Net loss $ (13,011) $ (15,524) $ (22,582) $ (31,555) Denominator: Basic and diluted weighted average shares* 7,316,286 7,211,851 7,291,542 7,189,634 Loss per share attributable to Conformis, Inc. stockholders: Basic and diluted* $ (1.78) $ (2.15) $ (3.10) $ (4.39) * Adjusted for the 1-for-25 reverse stock split The following table sets forth potential shares of common stock equivalents that are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive as of the end of each period presented: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Stock options and restricted stock awards* 6,169 20,686 20,341 26,629 * Adjusted for the 1-for-25 reverse stock split Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which modifies the measurement approach for credit losses on financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis from an 'incurred loss' method to an 'expected loss' method. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” ASU 2019-11 is an accounting pronouncement that amends ASU 2016-13. The ASU 2019-11 amendment provides clarity and improves the codification to ASU 2016-13. The Company adopted these ASUs as of January 1, 2023. The adoption of these ASUs has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. |
