Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations and on information currently available to our management. Generally, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating or financial performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including without limitation:
• | our ability to implement systemic improvements necessary to satisfactorily address the observations cited in the June 2, 2014 warning letter we received from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”); |
• | our expectations with respect to submissions to and approvals from regulatory bodies, such as the FDA; |
• | our ability to operate our business in compliance with regulatory requirements and to implement appropriate corrective and preventive actions; |
• | our expectations with respect to our clinical trials, including enrollment in, completion of, or outcomes of our clinical trials as well as approval of new clinical trials and continued access or supplemental protocols with respect to our existing clinical trials; |
• | our expectations with respect to the integrity or capabilities of our intellectual property position; |
• | our ability and plans to commercialize our existing products; |
• | our ability and plans to develop and commercialize new products and the expected features, functionalities and benefits of these products; |
• | our estimates regarding our capital requirements and financial performance, including earnings fluctuation and cash availability; and |
• | our ability to manage the costs and achieve the benefits of our strategic initiatives including acquired companies and technologies. |
Our management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because they speak only as of the date when made. We do not assume any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We may not actually achieve the plans, projections or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and actual results, developments or events could differ materially from those disclosed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC on March 3, 2014, and those described from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for HeartWare International, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” “HeartWare,” the “HeartWare Group” or the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting of interim financial information. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these statements do not include all the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this report and the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 has been derived from our audited financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the year ending December 31, 2014.
The preparation of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normally recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). The updated standard is a new comprehensive revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The updated standard becomes effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. We have not yet selected a transition method and we are currently evaluating the effect that the ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
With the exception of the standard discussed above, there have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, that are of significance or potential significance to us.

Note 2. Liquidity
At June 30, 2014, we had approximately $183.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments.
Our cash, cash equivalents and investments are expected to be used primarily to fund our ongoing operations including expanding our sales and marketing capabilities on a global basis, research and development (including clinical trials) of new and existing products, components and accessories, regulatory and other compliance functions as well as for general working capital. We believe our cash, cash equivalents and investment balances are sufficient to support our planned operations for at least the next twelve months.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. We have incurred substantial losses from operations since our inception through June 30, 2014, although for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 we recognized an operating profit as a result of a $13.7 million reduction in the fair value of contingent consideration (see Note 4). At June 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $340.4 million.
Note 3. Balance Sheet Information
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from the sale of our HeartWare® Ventricular Assist System (the “HVAD System”) to our customers, which include hospitals, health research institutions and medical device distributors. We grant credit to customers in the normal course of business, but generally do not require collateral or any other security to support credit sales. Our receivables are geographically dispersed, with a significant portion from customers located in Europe and other foreign countries. One customer had an accounts receivable balance greater than 10% of total accounts receivable representing approximately 14% and 15% of our total accounts receivable at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may result from an inability to collect payments owed to us for product sales. We regularly review the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances and local economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after appropriate collection efforts have been exhausted and we feel it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered.
The following table summarizes the change in our allowance for doubtful accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

Accrued Payroll and Other Employee Costs
Accrued payroll and other employee costs included estimated year-end employee bonuses of approximately $4.1 million and $6.6 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Accrued Warranty
Certain patient accessories sold with the HVAD System are covered by a limited warranty ranging from one to two years. Estimated contractual warranty obligations are recorded as an expense when the related revenue is recognized and are included in cost of revenue on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Factors that affect estimated warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, cost per claim, and vendor supported warranty programs. We periodically assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts as necessary. The amount of the liability recorded is equal to the estimated costs to repair or otherwise satisfy claims made by customers.
The following table summarizes changes in our warranty liability for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

The warranty liability as of June 30, 2014 takes into account recent substantial increases in product sales which are covered by our limited warranty policy.
Accrued Product Recall Costs
In April 2014, we implemented an Urgent Medical Device Correction following an observed increase in complaints related to earlier-than-expected battery depletion and routine battery handling. This notification provided information to assist patients and clinicians to monitor battery performance, recognize abnormal behaviors and reinforce proper power management of the HVAD System. We increased our warranty liability in the first quarter of 2014 to account for an anticipated higher level of battery returns likely to be associated with increased battery performance awareness following implementation of the field safety corrective action. On July 30, 2014, we extended our field safety corrective action to include a voluntary recall of certain older batteries. The recall instructs sites to replace certain older batteries in the field upon patients’ routine visits in order to further mitigate the potential risks associated with premature battery depletion.
The costs to repair or replace products associated with product recalls and voluntary service campaigns are recorded when they are determined to be probable and reasonably estimable as a cost of revenue and are not included in product warranty liability. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a $1.7 million charge for estimated costs associated with the battery recall discussed above.

The restructuring obligations reflected above resulted from the following actions:
Facility Closures
In the first quarter of 2014 we ceased the use of our facility in Teaneck, New Jersey, which was subject to an operating lease that runs through the end of 2020. In connection with this action, we recorded a $1.7 million liability equal to the estimated fair value of the remaining lease obligation as of the cease-use date (see Note 4). In the first quarter of 2014, we also relocated our corporate headquarters and ceased activities at our former headquarters in Framingham, Massachusetts. In connection with this action, we recorded a $0.5 million liability equal to the aggregate of the remaining payments on the lease for our former headquarters as of the cease-use date. Both of these items are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Severance Agreements
In the first six months of 2014, we incurred various costs related to the integration of CircuLite’s operations, including severance costs aggregating $0.6 million, the majority of which were recorded in the first quarter of 2014. We recorded $0.4 million in research and development expenses and the remaining $0.2 million in selling, general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Contract Termination
As a result of anticipated design modifications to the SYNERGY system and our decision to move manufacturing of the SYNERGY system to our Miami Lakes facility, we terminated a supply agreement with a vendor in Germany for the purchase of components necessary to produce the prior-to-modification version of the SYNERGY system. In connection with the termination of this supply agreement, we recorded a charge of $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2014, which is included in research and development expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC 820 –Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to us as of the reporting dates. Accordingly, the estimates presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments.
FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.
We review the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the ability to observe valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels of certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.
The carrying amounts reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. Investments are considered available-for-sale as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and are carried at fair value.
The following tables represents the fair value of our financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and which level was used in the fair value hierarchy at the respective dates.

Our Level 2 financial assets and liabilities include available-for-sale investments and convertible senior notes. The fair value of our available-for-sale investments and convertible senior notes was determined using quoted prices (including trade data) for the instruments in markets that are not active. The fair value of our convertible senior notes is presented for disclosure purposes only.
Financial assets and liabilities are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. Our Level 3 financial liabilities include the following:
• | Contingent consideration – The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration related to our acquisition of CircuLite in December 2013 requires significant management judgment or estimation and is calculated using the income approach, using various revenue assumptions and applying a probability to each outcome. The fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured at the estimated fair value at each reporting period. Actual amounts paid may differ from the obligations recorded. |
• | Royalties – Royalties represent future royalty payments to be made pursuant to agreements related to intellectual property licensed or acquired by World Heart Corporation, which we acquired in August 2012, to be paid over the next 3 to 17 years. Determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. The royalty payment obligations were valued using a discounted cash flow model, the future minimum royalty payment amounts and discount rates commensurate with our market risk and the terms of the obligations. |
• | Lease exit costs – In the first quarter of 2014 we ceased the use of our facility in Teaneck, New Jersey, which was subject to an operating lease that runs through the end of 2020, and we recorded a liability equal to the estimated fair value of the remaining lease payments as of the cease-use date. The fair value was estimated based upon the discounted present value of the remaining lease payments, considering future estimated sublease income, estimated broker fees and required tenant improvements. This estimated fair value requires significant management judgment. The fair value of this liability will be remeasured at estimated fair value at each reporting period. Actual amounts paid may differ from the obligation recorded. |

The change in fair value of the contingent consideration in the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to a $16.6 million reduction as a result of the probable unlikelihood of achieving the performance milestone conditions related to the re-launch of the SYNERGY Surgical System, which is undergoing redesign following its removal from the market in 2013 and loss of CE marking in the European Union in March 2014. This decrease in fair value was partially offset by a $6.0 million increase in fair value due to the effect of the passage of time on the fair value measurement. Adjustments associated with the change in fair value of contingent consideration are presented on a separate line item on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Adjustments will be similarly presented in future accounting periods.

Contingent Consideration
The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration related to the acquisition of CircuLite is calculated using the income approach, with significant inputs that include various revenue assumptions, discount rates and applying a probability to each outcome. Material changes in any of these inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration is calculated on a quarterly basis by management. Potential valuation adjustments will be made as additional information becomes available, including, among other items, the progress toward achieving re-launch of the SYNERGY Surgical System, revenue and milestone targets as compared to initial projections, with the impact of these adjustments being recorded in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. In the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a remeasurement adjustment to decrease the recorded value of the contingent consideration by $13.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, remeasurement adjustments decreased the recorded value of the contingent consideration by $10.6 million.
Assets That Are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Non-financial assets such as intangible assets, goodwill and property, plant, and equipment are evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of impairment exist. In the first quarter of 2014, we recorded an impairment charge of $0.6 million related to certain office equipment and software. No impairment was recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Non-financial assets such as identified intangibles acquired in connection with our acquisition of World Heart in August 2012 and CircuLite in December 2013 are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs, which include discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, when there is limited market activity and the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

Note 7. Debt
On December 15, 2010, we completed the sale of 3.5% convertible senior notes due 2017 (the “Convertible Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount of $143.75 million pursuant to the terms of an Indenture dated December 15, 2010 (the “Indenture”). The Convertible Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.5% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Convertible Notes will mature on December 15, 2017, unless earlier repurchased by us or converted.
The Convertible Notes offering was completed pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated December 9, 2010, to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was previously filed with the SEC and which was declared effective on December 9, 2010.
The Convertible Notes will be convertible at an initial conversion rate of 10 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which corresponds to an initial conversion price of $100.00 per share of our common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events.
Prior to June 15, 2017, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at their option only upon satisfaction of one or more of the conditions specified in the Indenture relating to the (i) sale price of our common stock, (ii) the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes or (iii) specified corporate events. As of the date of this report on Form 10-Q, none of the events that would allow holders to convert their Convertible Notes have occurred. On or after June 15, 2017, until the close of business of the business day immediately preceding the date the Convertible Notes mature, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of whether any of the foregoing conditions have been met. Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, at our election.
We may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to maturity. Holders of the Convertible Notes may require us to purchase for cash all or a part of their Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes (as defined in the Indenture) involving the Company. The Indenture does not contain any financial or operating covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries.
The Indenture contains customary terms and nonfinancial covenants and defines events of default. If an event of default (other than certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) involving the Company occurs and is continuing, the Trustee (by notice to the Company) or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Convertible Notes (by notice to the Company and the Trustee) may declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Convertible Notes to be due and payable. In case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, involving the Company, 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Convertible Notes will automatically become due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture provides that, to the extent we elect, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by us to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture consists exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Convertible Notes.
In accordance with FASB ASC 470-20,Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which applies to certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets, or partially in cash, upon conversion, we recorded the long-term debt and equity components on our Convertible Notes separately on the issuance date. The amount recorded for long-term debt was determined by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component. The measurement of fair value required the Company to make estimates and assumptions to determine the present value of the cash flows of the Convertible Notes, absent the conversion feature. This treatment increased interest expense associated with our Convertible Notes by adding a non-cash component to interest expense in the form of amortization of a debt discount calculated based on the difference between the 3.5% cash coupon rate and the effective interest rate on debt borrowing of approximately 12.5%. The discount is being amortized to interest expense through the December 15, 2017 maturity date of the Convertible Notes using the effective interest method and is included in interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, we allocated the costs related to issuance of the Convertible Notes on the same percentage as the long-term debt and equity components, such that a portion of the costs is allocated to the long-term debt component and the equity component included in additional paid-in capital. The portion of the costs allocated to the long-term debt component is presented as deferred financing costs, net on our condensed consolidated

balance sheets. These deferred financing costs are also being amortized to interest expense through the December 15, 2017 maturity date of the Convertible Notes using the effective interest method and the amortization is included in interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Based on the initial conversion rate of 10 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which corresponds to an initial conversion price of $100.00 per share of our common stock, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes is 1,437,500. The value of these shares, based on the closing price of our common stock on June 30, 2014 of $88.50 per share, was approximately $127.2 million. The fair value of our Convertible Notes as presented in Note 4 was $168.3 million at June 30, 2014.
Interest expense related to the Convertible Notes consisted of interest due on the principal amount, amortization of the discount and amortization of the portion of the deferred financing costs allocated to the long-term debt component. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, interest expense related to the Convertible Notes was as follows:

Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity
On March 12, 2013, we entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell and the Underwriters agreed to purchase, subject to and upon terms and conditions set forth therein, an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at a net sales price of $81.9114 per share (the public offering price of $86.45 per share minus the underwriting discount). We also granted the Underwriters an option to purchase 225,000 additional shares of our common stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discount, which the Underwriters exercised in full on March 13, 2013. The closing of the offering occurred on March 18, 2013. After fees and related expenses, net proceeds from the offering were approximately $141.0 million.
The offering was completed pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated March 12, 2013, to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was previously filed with the SEC and which was declared effective on December 9, 2010. This shelf registration statement expired on December 9, 2013.
On January 30, 2014, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3. This shelf registration statement allows us to offer and sell from time to time, in one or more series or issuances and on terms that we will determine at the time of the offering any combination and amount of the securities described in the prospectus contained in the registration statement or in the prospectus supplement filed with respect to a particular offering. An aggregate of 530,816 shares of our common stock were registered for issuance pursuant to various prospectus filings on January 30, 2014 in connection with our acquisition of CircuLite. As of June 30, 2014, there remained 248,872 shares of our common stock reserved for potential issuance in connection with future contingent milestone payments under the terms of the acquisition agreement.

Following satisfaction of a pre-specified milestone in December 2013, we were obligated to pay $5.0 million in cash or stock under the terms of a patent assignment agreement and exclusive license to certain patent applications. The $5.0 million was accrued at December 31, 2013 in other accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement an aggregate of 50,330 registered shares of our common stock in January 2014 to settle this liability.
In the six months ended June 30, 2014, we issued an aggregate of 23,571 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of stock options and an aggregate of 42,088 shares of our common stock upon the vesting of restricted stock units.
In the six months ended June 30, 2013, we issued an aggregate of 68,207 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of stock options and an aggregate of 21,661 shares of our common stock upon the vesting of restricted stock units.
Note 9. Share-Based Compensation
We allocate share-based compensation expense to cost of revenue, selling, general and administrative expense and research and development expense based on the award holder’s employment function. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded share-based compensation expense as follows:

Equity Plans
We have issued share-based awards to employees, non-executive directors and outside consultants through various approved plans and outside of any formal plan. New shares are issued upon the exercise of share-based awards.
Upon receipt of stockholder approval on May 31, 2012, we adopted the HeartWare International, Inc. 2012 Incentive Award Plan (“2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights, deferred stock, deferred stock units, stock payments and stock appreciation rights (collectively referred to as “Awards”), to our directors, employees and consultants. Under the terms of the 2012 Plan, the total number of shares of our common stock initially reserved for issuance under Awards is 1,375,000, provided that the total number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to “Full Value Awards” (Awards other than options, stock appreciation rights or other Awards for which the holder pays the intrinsic value existing as of the date of grant whether directly or by forgoing a right to receive a payment from the Company) is 1,275,000. As of June 30, 2014, 72,834 shares have been issued upon vesting of Awards issued under the 2012 Plan and Awards with respect to 561,322 shares were issued and outstanding under the 2012 Plan. Subsequent to adoption of the 2012 Plan, no new Awards will be granted under our prior plans. Any outstanding Awards under the prior plans will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan under which they were granted.

Stock Options
Each option allows the holder to subscribe for and be issued one share of our common stock at a specified price, which is generally the quoted market price of our common stock on the date the option is issued. Options generally vest on a pro-rata basis on each anniversary of the issuance date within four years of the date the option is issued. Options may be exercised after they have vested and prior to the specified expiry date provided applicable exercise conditions are met, if any. The expiry date can be for periods of up to ten years from the date the option is issued.
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the assumptions established at that time. The following table includes the weighted average assumptions used for options issued in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Restricted Stock Units
Each restricted stock unit (“RSU”) represents a contingent right to receive one share of our common stock. RSUs generally vest on a pro-rata basis on each anniversary of the issuance date over three or four years or vest in accordance with performance-based criteria. The RSUs with performance-based vesting criteria vest in one or more tranches contingent upon the achievement of pre-determined milestones related to the development of our products, the achievement of certain prescribed clinical and regulatory objectives, the achievement of specific financial performance measures or similar metrics. There is no consideration payable on the vesting of RSUs issued under the plans. Upon vesting, the RSUs are exercised automatically and settled in shares of our common stock.
Information related to RSUs at June 30, 2014 and activity in the six months then ended is as follows:

Note 10. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each respective period. Diluted earnings per share adjusts basic earnings per share for the dilutive effects of share-based awards as determined under the “treasury stock” method, our convertible senior notes as determined under the “if-converted” method and other potentially dilutive instruments only in the periods in which the effect is dilutive.
The following table sets forth basic and diluted income (loss) per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands, except per share data):

As a significant portion of our revenue is generated outside of the United States, we are dependent on favorable economic and regulatory environments for our products in Europe and other countries outside of the United States. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, no customer exceeded 10% of product sales individually.
Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
We received a warning letter from the FDA, dated June 2, 2014, following an inspection of our Miami Lakes, Florida facility conducted in January 2014. The FDA letter cited four categories for us to address: (1) procedures for validating device design, including device labeling; (2) procedures for implementing corrective and preventive action (CAPA); (3) maintaining records related to investigations; and (4) validation of computer software used as part of production or quality systems. The warning letter did not require any action by physicians or patients and did not restrict use of HeartWare’s devices.
We sent the FDA our initial response to the warning letter within the required fifteen business days of receipt, and committed to undertaking certain quality system improvements and providing the FDA with periodic updates. We have begun to implement systemic changes and organizational enhancements to address the four warning letter items and related quality systems. We have established teams to review and address the items cited by the FDA and have engaged external subject matter experts to assist in assessment and remediation efforts.
At June 30, 2014, we had purchase order commitments of approximately $41.0 million related to product costs, supplies, services and property, plant and equipment purchases. Many of our materials and supplies require long lead times. Our purchase order commitments reflect materials that may be received up to one year from the date of order.
In addition to the above, we have entered into employment agreements with all of our executive officers. These contracts do not have a fixed term and are constructed on an at-will basis. Some of these contracts provide executives with the right to receive certain additional payments and benefits if their employment is terminated including after a change of control, as defined in these agreements.
From time to time we invest in certain development stage entities in connection with research activities. Certain contingent milestone payments in connection with these arrangements have not been accrued in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as the amounts are indeterminate at this time.
The taxation and customs requirements, together with other applicable laws and regulations of certain foreign jurisdictions, can be inherently complex and subject to differing interpretation by local authorities. We are subject to the risk that either we have misinterpreted applicable laws and regulations, or that foreign authorities may take inconsistent,

unclear or changing positions on local law, customs practices or rules. In the event that we have misinterpreted any of the above, or that foreign authorities take positions contrary to ours, we may incur liabilities that may differ materially from the amounts accrued in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Contingent Consideration and Milestone Payments
In December 2013, we acquired CircuLite using a combination of cash, stock and post-acquisition milestone payments. The milestone payments are payable based upon the achievement of six specified performance milestones over a 10 year period. The maximum amount of the aggregate milestone payments could be $320 million. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be $56.4 million (see Note 4).
Litigation
From time to time we may be involved in litigation or other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on the information presently available, management believes there are no contingencies, claims or actions, pending or threatened, the ultimate resolution of which will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity or result of operations.
In accordance with FASB ASC 450, Contingencies, we accrue loss contingencies including costs of settlement, damages and defense related to litigation to the extent they are probable and reasonably estimable. Otherwise, we expense these costs as incurred. If the estimate of a probable loss is a range and no amount within the range is more likely, we accrue the minimum amount of the range.
Note 13. Subsequent Events
We have evaluated events and transactions that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2014 through the date the financial statements were issued, for potential recognition or disclosure in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Except as disclosed below, we did not identify any events or transactions that should be recognized or disclosed in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
As described in Note 3, we extended our field safety corrective action on July 30, 2014 to include a voluntary recall of certain older batteries. The recall instructs sites to replace certain older batteries in the field upon patients’ routine visits in order to further mitigate the potential risks associated with premature battery depletion. We will continue to monitor complaints and may take further actions as appropriate.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Certain abbreviated key terms have the meanings defined elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
HeartWare is a medical device company that develops and manufactures miniaturized implantable heart pumps, or ventricular assist devices, to treat patients suffering from advanced heart failure.
The HeartWare Ventricular Assist System (the “HVAD System”), which includes a ventricular assist device (“VAD”), or blood pump, patient accessories and surgical tools, is designed to provide circulatory support for patients in the advanced stage of heart failure. The core of the HVAD System is a proprietary continuous flow blood pump, the HVAD Pump, which is a full-output device capable of pumping up to 10 liters of blood per minute. The HVAD System is designed to be implanted adjacent to the heart, avoiding abdominal surgery, which is generally required to implant similar devices.
In November 2012, we received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the HVAD System as a bridge to heart transplantation in patients with end-stage heart failure. The HVAD System has been available in the European Union since receiving CE marking in 2009. In May 2012, we received an expanded European label for long-term use of the HVAD System in patients at risk of death from refractory, end-stage heart failure. The HVAD System has been implanted in patients at over 240 health care sites in 40 countries.
On August 27, 2013, the FDA approved an Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”) Supplement allowing us to commence enrollment in an additional patient cohort for the ENDURANCE clinical trial. In this supplemental cohort, we intend to enroll up to 310 patients receiving the HVAD System, as well as up to an additional 155 control patients using a randomization scheme consistent with the ENDURANCE protocol. Patients will be followed for 12 months after implant. We intend to incorporate the data from both this supplemental cohort and ENDURANCE into an anticipated PMA Application seeking approval of the HVAD System for the Destination Therapy indication.
MVAD System
Beyond the HVAD System, we are also developing our next generation miniaturized device, known as the MVAD System. The MVAD System is based on the same technology platform as the HVAD System but adopts an axial flow, rather than a centrifugal flow, configuration and is being developed in multiple designs. The MVAD Pump is less than one-half the size of the HVAD Pump and can provide partial or full support. The MVAD platform is designed to allow for a variety of configurations and surgical placements with the goal towards further reduction of surgical invasiveness while producing superior clinical results. We are preparing regulatory submissions seeking approval to commence a CE Mark study at nine international sites, as well as an IDE study in the United States.
CircuLite
On December 1, 2013, we acquired CircuLite, Inc. CircuLite is the developer of the SYNERGY Circulatory Support System, a partial support system designed to treat less sick, ambulatory, chronic heart failure patients who are not yet inotrope-dependent. While our HVAD and MVAD Systems offer minimally invasive treatment to end-stage heart failure patients, the SYNERGY platform offers potentially even less invasive and ultimately interventional options to earlier-stage heart failure patients. The SYNERGY Surgical System, which received CE marking in the European Union in 2012, was designed for long-term support and is intended to reduce the heart’s workload while improving blood flow to vital organs. As a result of issues that arose after its commercial release, the SYNERGY system no longer carries the CE marking and is not presently available for sale. We continue to correspond with regulatory authorities regarding adverse events involving the SYNERGY system. The SYNERGY system is currently undergoing a design review with the goal of identifying design modifications that address the issues experienced by the original commercial system. Following design modifications, we intend to determine a strategy for clinical evaluation and eventual return to clinical use of the SYNERGY system.
29

We are also developing a next generation endovascular version of the SYNERGY system which offers an interventional approach to circulatory support and is able to be implanted collaboratively by cardiologists and surgeons in a hybrid catheterization (“cath”) lab setting.
FDA Warning Letter
We received a warning letter from the FDA, dated June 2, 2014, following an inspection of our Miami Lakes, Florida facility conducted in January 2014. The FDA letter cited four categories for us to address: (1) procedures for validating device design, including device labeling; (2) procedures for implementing corrective and preventive action (CAPA); (3) maintaining records related to investigations; and (4) validation of computer software used as part of production or quality systems. The warning letter did not require any action by physicians or patients and did not restrict use of HeartWare’s devices.
We sent the FDA our initial response to the warning letter within the required fifteen business days of receipt and committed to undertaking certain quality system improvements and providing the FDA with periodic updates. We have begun to implement systemic changes and organizational enhancements to address the four warning letter items and related quality systems. We have established teams to review and address the items cited by the FDA and have engaged external subject matter experts to assist in assessment and remediation efforts.
Recent Urgent Medical Device Corrections and Voluntary Battery Recall
We issued two Urgent Medical Device Corrections in April 2014 and a recall of certain older batteries in July 2014.
The first Correction was announced by us on April 24, 2014 and provides updated information to patients and clinicians with respect to the driveline connector medical device correction distributed to all of our clinical sites in December 2013. A disconnected driveline would result in a temporary pump stop which could cause serious injury or death, depending on the function of a patient’s native heart. To ensure full awareness, we are redistributing this information to clinicians and patients. The April 24, 2014 notification requests patients to discuss the correction notice with their physician or VAD Coordinator. Clinicians are asked to inspect the patient’s driveline connector for proper locking at implant and at each routine clinic visit to ensure that the connector assembly remains secure. The notification provides instruction to both patients and clinicians should the locking mechanism fail to engage or the driveline becomes disconnected from the controller and advises clinicians to promptly call their HeartWare representative to arrange a permanent repair should these events occur.
The second Correction was announced by us on May 1, 2014. In letters to clinicians and patients, we reported an observed increase in complaints related to earlier-than-expected battery depletion and routine battery handling. This field safety correction action provides information to assist patients and clinicians to monitor battery performance, recognize abnormal behaviors and reinforce proper power management of the HVAD System. In connection with this Correction, we provided for an increase in battery warranty returns likely to be associated with increased battery performance awareness following implementation of the Correction.
In general, we have experienced a higher battery-related complaint rate in Germany than in other territories. Accordingly, following correspondence with BfArM (the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical devices in Germany), we extended our field safety corrective action on July 30, 2014 to include a voluntary recall of certain older batteries. The recall instructs sites to replace certain older batteries in the field upon patients’ routine visits in order to further mitigate the potential risks associated with premature battery depletion. We will continue to monitor complaints and may take further actions as appropriate.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a $1.7 million charge for estimated costs associated with the battery recall discussed above.
Summary of Recent Financial Performance
Total revenue was $70.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, reflecting 47% revenue growth in the United States, where our HVAD System is labeled solely for a bridge-to-transplantation indication, and 29% internationally where the HVAD System is more broadly indicated for general long-term heart failure patients. In each case, revenue growth reflected continued market penetration within existing customer accounts and to a lesser extent revenue contributed from newly added customers. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had 103 customers in the United States and 143 customers internationally.

We realized an improvement in gross margin percentage, to 67.3% in the second quarter compared to 65.5% in the first quarter and 62.9% in the second quarter of 2013. This continued improvement relates primarily to production efficiencies associated with increased manufacturing throughput, net of the $1.7 million second quarter 2014 charge associated with the battery recall.
Operating expenses in the second quarter decreased to $34.2 million, compared to $60.0 million in the first quarter. The $25.8 million decrease included a $16.8 million net change in expense as a result of adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration. Research and development expenses were approximately $5.7 million lower in the second quarter compared to the first quarter as a result of reduced consumption of parts and supplies and lower project costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $3.3 million in the second quarter compared to the first quarter primarily as a result of restructuring costs incurred in the first quarter of approximately $3.0 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We are required to adopt various accounting policies and to make estimates and assumptions in preparing our financial statements that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on our historical experience to the extent practicable and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances and at the time they are made. If our assumptions prove inaccurate or if our future results are not consistent with our historical experience, we may be required to make adjustments in our policies that affect our reported results. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, there were no significant changes to any of our significant accounting policies.
Our most critical accounting policies and estimates include: revenue recognition, inventory capitalization and valuation, reserves, accounting for share-based compensation, measurement of fair value, valuation of tax assets and liabilities, long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, and contingent consideration. We also have other key accounting policies that are less subjective and, therefore, their application is less subject to variations that would have a material impact on our reported results of operations. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Total revenue was $70.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, reflecting 47% revenue growth in the United States, where our HVAD System is labeled solely for a bridge-to-transplantation indication, and 29% internationally where the HVAD System is more broadly indicated for general long-term heart failure patients. In each case, revenue growth reflected continued market penetration within existing customer accounts and to a lesser extent revenue contributed from newly added customers.
Our U.S. revenue was $36.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $25.1 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. A total of 338 pumps were sold in the U.S. during the second quarter of 2014 compared to 235 pumps sold in the same period of 2013. The U.S. revenue increase included 36 HVAD Systems sold under the Company’s supplemental patient cohort for the ENDURANCE clinical trial.
Our international revenue was $33.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $25.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. A total of 336 pumps were sold internationally during the second quarter of 2014 compared to 288 pumps sold in the same period of 2013.
Total revenue was $136.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting 38% revenue growth in the United States and 35% internationally. In each case, revenue growth reflected continued market penetration within existing customer accounts and to a lesser extent revenue contributed from newly added customers.
Our U.S. revenue was $70.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $51.3 million in the same period of 2013. A total of 651 pumps were sold in the U.S. during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 473 pumps sold in the same period of 2013. The U.S. revenue increase included 71 HVAD Systems sold under the Company’s supplemental patient cohort for the ENDURANCE clinical trial.
Our international revenue was $65.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $48.8 million in the same period of 2013. A total of 688 pumps were sold internationally during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 532 pumps sold in the same period of 2013.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted net revenue by approximately $1.6 million and $2.6 million, or 3.1% and 2.6%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, approximately 44% and 46% of our net revenue was denominated in foreign currencies including principally the Euro and British pound compared to 43% and 42% in the same periods in 2013. Movements in foreign currency exchange rates have had an effect on our reported revenue amounts in the past and could have a significant favorable or unfavorable impact on our reported revenue amounts in the future.
We expect to continue to generate and grow commercial revenue from product sales as we further expand our sales and marketing efforts on a global basis. Future product sales are dependent on many factors, including perception of product performance and market acceptance among physicians, patients, health care payers and the medical community as well as our capacity to meet customer demand by manufacturing sufficient quantities of our products.

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes costs associated with manufacturing and distributing our products and consists of direct materials, labor and overhead expenses allocated to the manufacturing process, provisions for excess or obsolete inventory, and shipping costs. Cost of revenue totaled approximately $23.0 million and $18.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cost of revenue totaled approximately $45.9 million and $37.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Gross profit and gross margin percentage are as follows:

The three month comparative increase in gross margin percentage was primarily a result of production efficiencies driven by increased revenues and manufacturing throughput resulting in 8.7 percentage points of improvement, partially offset by 4.3 percentage points resulting from increases in reserve allowances including the recent battery recall charge recognized in the second quarter of 2014 as described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
The six month comparative increase in gross margin percentage was primarily a result of production efficiencies driven by increased revenues and manufacturing throughput resulting in 8.4 percentage points of improvement, partially offset by 4.4 percentage points resulting from increases in reserve allowances including the recent battery recall charge discussed above.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs associated with selling and marketing our products and the general corporate administration of the Company. These costs are primarily related to salaries and wages and related employee costs, travel, marketing, external consultants and contractors, legal and accounting fees and general infrastructure costs, and include all operating costs not associated with or otherwise classified as research and development costs or cost of revenue.

The increase of $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 resulted primarily from commercial expansion and included $2.6 million of salaries and related costs associated with headcount growth and $0.8 million of increased travel, conference, tradeshows and other marketing expenditures. We also experienced an increase in non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.9 million due to an increase in the number of outstanding awards and the increased valuation of those awards, an increase in professional fees of $0.4 million and an increase in medical device excise taxes of $0.4 million. These increases were partially offset by various reductions in certain information technology and facilities expenses of $1.3 million.
The increase of $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 included approximately $3.1 million of restructuring charges, primarily related to our acquisition of CircuLite. These expenses included lease exit costs associated with facilities we vacated in Massachusetts and New Jersey, severance costs and asset impairment charges. The remainder of the increase resulted primarily from commercial expansion and included $5.1 million of salaries and related costs associated with headcount growth and $1.9 million of increased travel, conference, tradeshows and other marketing expenditures. We also experienced an increase in non-cash share-based compensation expense of $1.2 million due to an increase in the number of outstanding awards and the increased valuation of those awards

as well as an increase in professional fees of $1.2 million and an increase in medical device excise taxes of $0.6 million. These increases were partially offset by various reductions in certain information technology and facilities expenses of $1.8 million.
We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to increase as we continue to expand our sales and distribution capabilities in an effort to increase market penetration on a global basis as well as enhance our administrative capabilities to support our overall corporate growth.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses are the direct and indirect costs associated with developing our products prior to commercialization, including the costs of operating clinical trials, and are expensed as incurred. These expenses fluctuate based on project level activity and consist primarily of salaries and wages and related employee costs of our research and development, clinical and regulatory staffs, external research and development costs, and materials and expenses associated with clinical trials. Additional costs include travel, facilities and overhead allocations.

The increase of $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of 2013 was primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in salaries and related costs associated with headcount growth and an increase in animal study and clinical trial costs of $1.4 million. We also experienced an increase in non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.7 million due to an increase in the number of outstanding awards and the increased valuation of those awards as well as an increase in certain infrastructure areas of $0.5 million. These increases were partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in development project costs, including consumables, outside engineering, consultants and contractors.
The increase of $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of 2013 was primarily due to a $2.5 million increase in development project costs, including consumables, outside engineering, consultants and contractors. We also experienced a $4.3 million increase in salaries and related costs associated with headcount growth, an increase in animal study and clinical trial costs of $3.8 million, an increase in certain infrastructure costs of $1.0 million and $0.5 million in fees related to the cancellation of a development agreement. In connection with our acquisition of CircuLite, we recorded restructuring charges aggregating $1.1 million, including contract termination fees and severance costs.
We expect that research and development expenses will continue to represent a significant portion of our operating expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue to incur substantial development costs related to our next generation products, including the Pal controller, the MVAD System, the SYNERGY system and certain early research initiatives, clinical trial expenses related to clinical trials for the HVAD System in new markets and expanded indications and for the MVAD System both in Europe and the United States, as well as ongoing clinical trial expenses associated with bridge-to-transplant post-approval study requirements and ongoing patient follow-up related to the ENDURANCE clinical trial.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
On December 1, 2013, we acquired CircuLite, Inc. using a combination of cash and stock. In addition to initial consideration paid at closing, the former CircuLite securityholders may be entitled to receive additional shares of HeartWare common stock (or cash, in certain cases, at our discretion) upon the achievement of six specified performance milestones. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration is calculated on a quarterly basis by management. In the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a $13.7 million adjustment for the decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. The decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was primarily due to a $16.3 million reduction as a result of the probable unlikelihood of achieving the performance milestone conditions related to the re-launch of the SYNERGY Surgical System, which is undergoing redevelopment following its removal from the market in 2013 and loss of CE marking in the European Union in March 2014. This decrease in fair value was partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in fair value due to the effect of the passage of time on the fair value measurement.
34
Table of Contents
In the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a $10.6 million adjustment for the decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. The decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was primarily due to a $16.6 million reduction as a result of the probable unlikelihood of achieving the performance milestone conditions related to the re-launch of the SYNERGY Surgical System as noted above. This decrease in fair value was partially offset by a $6.0 million increase in fair value due to the effect of the passage of time on the fair value measurement.
The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration requires significant management judgment or estimation and is calculated using the income approach. We utilize significant inputs, including various revenue assumptions, discount rates and apply a probability to each outcome. Potential valuation adjustments will be made as additional information becomes available, including the progress toward achieving re-launch of the SYNERGY Surgical System, revenue and milestone targets as compared to initial projections. The effect of these adjustments will be recorded in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Foreign Exchange
We generate a substantial portion of our revenue and collect receivables in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, British Pound and Australian dollar can result in foreign currency exchange gains and losses that may significantly affect our financial results. Continued fluctuation of these exchange rates could result in financial results that are not comparable from quarter to quarter.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, our net foreign exchange gains totaled approximately $0.02 million and $0.2 million, respectively, compared to net foreign exchange losses of approximately $0.6 million and $2.5 million in the same periods of 2013. In 2014 and 2013, the majority of our realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses resulted from the settlement of certain balance sheet accounts, primarily accounts receivable that were denominated in foreign currencies, and the remeasurement to U.S. dollars at period end of certain balance sheet accounts, denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. We expect to continue to realize foreign exchange gains and losses for the foreseeable future as a significant portion of our sales is denominated in foreign currencies. We do not currently utilize foreign currency contracts to manage foreign exchange risks.
Interest Expense
Interest expense in 2014 and 2013 primarily consists of interest incurred on the principal amount of our convertible senior notes issued in December 2010, amortization of the related discount and amortization of the portion of the deferred financing costs allocated to the debt component. The convertible senior notes bear interest at a rate of 3.5% per annum. The discount on the convertible senior notes and the deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense through the December 15, 2017 maturity date of the convertible senior notes using the effective interest method.
In the three months ended June 30, 2014, interest expense was approximately $3.3 million, which included $1.3 million of interest incurred on the principal amount of the convertible notes at the 3.5% coupon rate and $2.0 million of non-cash amortization of the related discount and deferred financing costs. In the three months ended June 30, 2013, interest expense was approximately $3.0 million, which included $1.3 million of interest incurred on the principal amount of the convertible notes at the 3.5% coupon rate and $1.7 million of non-cash amortization of the related discount and deferred financing costs.
In the six months ended June 30, 2014, interest expense was approximately $6.4 million, which included $2.5 million of interest incurred on the principal amount of the convertible notes at the 3.5% coupon rate and $3.9 million of non-cash amortization of the related discount and deferred financing costs. In the six months ended June 30, 2013, interest expense was approximately $6.0 million, which included $2.5 million of interest incurred on the principal amount of the convertible notes at the 3.5% coupon rate and $3.5 million of non-cash amortization of the related discount and deferred financing costs.
Investment Income, net
Investment income is primarily derived from investments and cash and short-term deposit accounts held in the U.S. as well as note receivable interest on a strategic investment in a private company. The amortization of premium on our investments is also included in investment income, net. Investment income, net was approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to $0.1 million in both of the same periods in the prior year. We continue to experience low interest rates on our deposits and available-for-sale investments.

Income Taxes
We are subject to taxation in the United States and jurisdictions outside of the United States. These jurisdictions have different marginal tax rates. Foreign earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested in operations outside the U.S. and therefore we have not provided for U.S. income taxes on these unrepatriated foreign earnings. We have incurred significant U.S. losses since inception, however, changes in issued capital and share ownership, as well as other factors, may limit our ability to utilize any net operating loss carry-forwards, and therefore a 100% valuation allowance has been recorded against our net deferred tax assets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, our tax provision includes estimated foreign taxes in jurisdictions where wholly-owned subsidiaries may be subject to current taxes.
Additionally, in accordance with ASC 740 we continue to record and evaluate tax positions for recognition using a more-likely-than-not threshold, and those tax positions eligible for recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon the effective settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

Cash Used in Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, cash used in operating activities consisted of net loss of $11.1 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $10.5 million and cash used in working capital of $11.7 million. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $10.9 million of share-based compensation, $4.0 million of depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, $3.7 million for the amortization of the discount on our convertible notes, $1.0 million loss on an equity investment and $0.6 million for the impairment of fixed assets, which were partially offset by an adjustment of $10.6 million from the decrease in fair value of contingent consideration. The decrease in cash from changes in working capital included $8.5 million in increased trade accounts receivable, $5.6 million for the purchase and manufacture of inventories and $6.1 million for the payment of trade accounts payable. These amounts were partially offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $2.9 million and an increase in accrued liabilities of $5.4 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, cash used in operating activities included a net loss of approximately $25.9 million and non-cash adjustments to net loss totaling approximately $16.6 million which primarily consisted of $9.4 million of share-based compensation, $3.3 million for the amortization of the discount on our convertible notes and $3.5 million of depreciation and amortization on long-lived assets. Also included in cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $8.7 million in increased trade accounts receivable, $2.6 million for the payment of accrued liabilities, $1.2 million for the payment of trade payables and $1.2 million for prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
In the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash used in investing activities included $4.5 million to acquire property, plant and equipment and $0.8 million for intellectual property. These amounts were offset by $1.1 million received upon maturity (net of purchases) of available-for-sale securities.
In the six months ended June 30, 2013, net cash used by investing activities included $15.8 million for the purchase (net of maturities) of available-for sale securities. Other investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2013 used cash of approximately $2.0 million, primarily to acquire property, plant and equipment.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
On March 12, 2013, we entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell and the Underwriters agreed to purchase, subject to and upon terms and conditions set forth therein, an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at a net sales price of $81.9114 per share (the public offering price of $86.45 per share minus the underwriting discount). We also granted the Underwriters an option to purchase 225,000 additional shares of our common stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discount, which the Underwriters exercised in full on March 13, 2013. The closing of the offering occurred on March 18, 2013. After fees and related expenses, net proceeds from the offering were approximately $141.0 million. The offering was completed pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated March 12, 2013, to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was previously filed with the SEC and which was declared effective on December 9, 2010.

The exercise of stock options in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 resulted in cash proceeds of approximately $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
We have incurred substantial operating losses to date and anticipate that we will continue to consume cash and incur net losses as we expand our sales and marketing capabilities, develop new products and seek regulatory approvals for expanded indications of the HVAD System in the United States. For the remainder of 2014, cash on hand is expected to be used primarily to fund our ongoing operations, including:
• | expanding our sales and marketing capabilities on a global basis; |
• | growing market penetration particularly in United States; |
• | continued product development, including development of the MVAD Pump and Pal controller, and clinical trials related to expanded indications of the HVAD System; |
• | pre-clinical and clinical costs relating to prospective first human implants of the MVAD Pump; |
• | development and relaunch efforts with respect to the SYNERGY Surgical System; |
• | development of the next generation endovascular system with respect to the SYNERGY platform; |
• | regulatory and other compliance functions, including activities to enhance our quality systems in response to the warning letter we received from the FDA in June 2014; |
• | expand work in process and finished goods inventory to support ongoing operations; |
• | planned investments in infrastructure to support our growth; and |
• | general working capital. |
Our convertible notes bear interest at a rate of 3.5% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, we paid the $2.5 million interest payment that was due on June 15, 2014. To date, all interest payments have been paid on a timely basis. Based on the outstanding principal amount of our convertible senior notes at June 30, 2014, the semi-annual interest payment due on December 15, 2014 will be approximately $2.5 million. This amount is expected to be paid from cash on hand.
We believe cash on hand and investment balances as of June 30, 2014 are sufficient to support our planned operations for at least the next twelve months. At June 30, 2014, approximately $5.5 million of our cash on hand was held in foreign locations, including Australia, Germany and the United Kingdom. To date, the Company has not had unremitted foreign earnings and has not incurred U.S. federal and state income taxes related to repatriated earnings. As our operations in our foreign subsidiaries grow, we may generate foreign earnings. Any repatriation of those earnings to the United States would likely result in us incurring federal and state income taxes. We currently plan to permanently reinvest any earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of medical devices, we are unable to estimate the exact amounts of capital outlays and operating expenditures necessary to maintain regulatory approvals, fund commercial expansion, and develop and obtain regulatory approvals for new products. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including but not limited to the following:
• | implementation of systemic improvements necessary to satisfactorily address the observations cited in the June 2, 2014 warning letter we received from the FDA; |
• | commercial acceptance of our products; |
• | reimbursement of our products by governmental agencies and third party payers; |
• | costs to manufacture and ensure regulatory compliance of our products; |
• | expenses required to operate multiple clinical trials; |
• | further product research and development for next generation products and expanding indications for our products as well as efforts to sustain and implement incremental improvements to existing products; |
• | expanding our sales and marketing capabilities on a global basis; |
• | broadening our infrastructure in order to meet the needs of our growing operations, including regulatory compliance; |
• | expenses related to funding and integrating strategic investments, acquisitions and collaborative arrangements; |
• | payment of the 2.3% excise tax on gross revenue from the sale of our medical devices in the United States imposed by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; |
• | payment of our convertible notes on maturity if not converted or repurchased; and |
• | complying with the requirements related to being a public company in the United States. |

Contractual Obligations
In the six months ended June 30, 2014, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations provided in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2014.

Table of Contents
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of changes in the value of market risk sensitive instruments caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. Changes in these factors could cause fluctuations in our results of operations and cash flows.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk is currently confined to interest earnings on our cash and cash equivalents that are invested in highly liquid money market funds, short-term time deposits, short-term bank notes and short-term commercial paper. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital to fund operations. We also seek to generate reasonable income from our investments without assuming significant risk. We do not presently use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Our cash and investments policy emphasizes liquidity and preservation of principal over other portfolio considerations.
If interest rates rise, the market value of our investment portfolio may decline, which could result in a loss if we choose or are forced to sell an investment before its scheduled maturity. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risks.
Our convertible senior notes do not bear interest rate risk as the notes were issued with a fixed interest rate of 3.5% per annum.
Foreign Currency Rate Fluctuations
We conduct business in foreign countries. For U.S. reporting purposes, we translate all assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. entities at the period-end exchange rate and revenue and expenses at the average exchange rates in effect during the periods. The net effect of these translation adjustments is shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as a component of stockholders’ equity.
We generate a significant portion of our revenue and collect receivables in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against major foreign currencies, including the Euro, British Pound and Australian dollar, can result in foreign currency exchange gains and losses that may significantly impact our financial results. These foreign currency transaction and translation gains and losses are presented as a separate line item on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Continued fluctuation of these exchange rates could result in financial results that are not comparable from quarter to quarter. We do not currently utilize foreign currency contracts to mitigate the gains and losses generated by the re-measurement of non-functional currency assets and liabilities but do hold cash reserves in currencies in which those reserves are anticipated to be expended.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2014. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Controls and Procedures
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Thus, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls.
