SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OrthoPediatrics Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, OrthoPediatrics US Distribution Corp., OrthoPediatrics EU Limited, OrthoPediatrics AUS PTY LTD, OrthoPediatrics NZ Limited, OP EU B.V., OP Netherlands B.V., Orthex, LLC, Telos Partners, LLC and ApiFix, Ltd. (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements We have prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and related notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 11, 2021. The financial data and other financial information disclosed in the notes to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are also unaudited. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations thereunder. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other period. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming our Company will continue as a going concern. We have experienced recurring losses from operations since our inception and had an accumulated deficit of $172,145 and $161,766 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Management continues to monitor cash flows and liquidity on a regular basis. We believe that our cash balance, including short term investments, at March 31, 2021 and expected cash flows from operations for the next twelve months subsequent to the issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, are sufficient to enable us to maintain current and essential planned operations for more than the next twelve months. Use of Estimates Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. The impact of the coronavirus disease ("COVID-19") has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty. We use historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for our judgments and estimates. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Any changes in these estimates will be reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Foreign Currency Transactions We currently bill our international stocking distributors in U.S. dollars, resulting in minimal foreign exchange transaction expense. Beginning in the second quarter of 2017, we began selling direct within the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand and billing using the local currency for each country. We began selling direct to Canada in September 2018, Belgium and the Netherlands in January 2019, Italy in March 2020 and Germany, Switzerland and Austria in January 2021. Additionally, in March 2019, we established an operating company in the Netherlands in order to enhance our operations in Europe. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are accounted for in local functional currencies including and have been translated into U.S. dollars using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Local functional currencies include primarily the Pound Sterling, the Euro, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar and Israeli Shekel. Foreign currency translation adjustments have been recorded as a separate component of the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Revenue from Contracts with Customers In accordance with ASC 606, " Revenue From Contracts With Customers (ASC 606)", revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services, and excludes any sales incentives or taxes collected from a customer which are subsequently remitted to government authorities. Revenue Recognition – United States Revenue in the United States is generated primarily from the sale of our implants and, to a much lesser extent, from the sale of our instruments. Sales in the United States are primarily to hospital accounts through independent sales agencies. We recognize revenue when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. This typically occurs when we transfer control of our products to the customers, generally upon implantation or when title passes upon shipment. The products are generally consigned to our independent sales agencies, and revenue is recognized when the products are used by or shipped to the hospital for surgeries on a case by case basis. On rare occasions, hospitals purchase products for their own inventory, and revenue is recognized when the products are shipped and the title and risk of loss passes to the customer. Pricing for each customer is dictated by a unique pricing agreement, which does not generally include rebates or discounts. Revenue Recognition – International Outside of the United States, we sell our products directly to hospitals through independent sales agencies or to independent stocking distributors. Generally, the distributors are allowed to return products, and some are thinly capitalized; however, based on a history of reliable collections, we have concluded that a contract exists and revenue should be recognized when we transfer control of our products to the customer, generally when title passes upon shipment. Additionally, based on our history of immaterial returns from international customers, we have historically estimated no reserve for returns. The products are generally consigned to our independent sales agencies, and revenue is recognized when the products are used by or shipped to the hospital for surgeries on a case by case basis. On rare occasions, hospitals purchase products for their own inventory, and revenue is recognized when title passes upon shipment. Pricing for each customer is dictated by a unique pricing agreement. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short Term Investments We maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. To date, we have not experienced any loss in such accounts. We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less at inception to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company invests in available-for-sale short term investments. The Company has the ability, if necessary, to liquidate without penalty any of its short term investments to meet its liquidity needs in the next twelve months. As such, those investments with contractual maturities greater than one year from the date of purchase are classified as short-term on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The company includes unrealized gains or losses in stockholders' equity. If the adjustment to fair value reflects a decline in the value of the investment, the Company considers available information to determine whether the decline is "other than temporary" and, if so, reflects the change on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Restricted Cash In conjunction with the sale of a business acquired in 2019, $1,250 was placed into a separate escrow account. This cash is reported as restricted cash on the March 31, 2021 and 2020 consolidated balance sheet. These funds will remain restricted until August 31, 2021 at which time, they will be released to the Company subject to no claims related to the purchase. The Company also maintains restricted cash of 100 Euro at its Netherlands entity for potential Italian tenders. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, generally requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Account balances with invoices over 30 days past due are considered delinquent. No interest is charged on past due accounts. Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice or, if unspecified, to the customer's account as an unapplied credit. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected, determined principally on the basis of historical experience, management's assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. All accounts or portions thereof deemed to be uncollectible or to require an excessive collection cost are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The accounting standards related to fair value measurements define fair value and provide a consistent framework for measuring fair value under the authoritative literature. Valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. This guidance only applies when other standards require or permit the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities. The guidance does not expand the use of fair value measurements. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. Generally, these fair value measures are model-based valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows, and are based on the best information available, including our own data. The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, acquisition installment payables, contingent consideration and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, acquisition installment payables and long-term debt approximate the fair value due to the short-term nature or market rates of these instruments. The company bases the fair value of short-term investments on quoted market prices for identical or comparable assets. Contingent consideration represents the system sales payment the Company is obligated to make. The fair value of the contingent consideration payment is considered a level 3 fair value measurement and was determined with the assistance of an independent valuation specialist at the original issuance date and as of the balance sheet date. See Note 5 for further discussion of financial instruments that carried a fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. Inventories, net Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in-first-out method. Inventories purchased from third parties, which consist of implants and instruments held in our warehouse or with third-party independent sales agencies or distributors, are considered finished goods. We evaluate the carrying value of our inventories in relation to the estimated forecast of product demand, which takes into consideration the life cycle of the product. A significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory on hand, which could lead to additional charges for excess and obsolete inventory. The need to maintain substantial levels of inventory impacts our estimates for excess and obsolete inventory. Each of our implant systems are designed to include implantable products that come in different sizes and shapes to accommodate the surgeon’s needs. Typically, a small number of the set components are used in each surgical procedure. Certain components within each set may become obsolete before other components based on the usage patterns. We adjust inventory values, as needed, to reflect these usage patterns and life cycle. In addition, we continue to introduce new products, which may require us to take additional charges for excess and obsolete inventory in the future. Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations for the period. Maintenance and repairs that prolong or extend the useful life are capitalized, whereas standard maintenance, replacements, and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Instruments are hand-held devices, specifically designed for use with our implants and are used by surgeons during surgery. Instruments deployed within the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Austria are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and are recorded in property and equipment, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Sample inventory consists of our implants and instruments, and is maintained to market and promote our products. Sample inventory is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciable lives are generally as follows: Building and building improvements 25 to 30 years Furniture and fixtures 5 to 7 years Computer equipment 3 to 5 years Business software 3 years Office and other equipment 5 to 7 years Instruments 5 years Sample inventory 2 years Amortizable Intangible Assets, net Amortizable intangible assets include fees necessary to secure various patents and licenses, including Band-Lok, the value of internally developed software, customer relationships, and non-competition agreements related to the acquisition of Orthex, and customer relationships and non-competition agreements related to the acquisitions of Telos and ApiFix. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Amortization for patents and licenses commences at the time of patent approval and market launch, respectively. Amortization for assets acquired commences upon acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized over a 3 to 20 year period. Amortizable intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the associated asset. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the assets. No impairment charges were recorded in any of the periods presented. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Our goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. The determination of the value of goodwill and intangible assets arising from acquisitions requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is assessed for impairment using fair value measurement techniques on an annual basis or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant such a review. The goodwill is considered to be impaired if we determine that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its respective fair value. We have indefinite lived tradename assets that are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the associated asset. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the assets. No impairment charges were recorded in any of the periods presented. Acquisition Payable and Contingent Consideration Upon the completion of an acquisition, the Company may record an acquisition installment payable, contingent consideration or both. Both are recorded at their fair values as determined by management with the assistance of an independent valuation specialist at the original issuance date and are adjusted on a recurring basis. Accretion of interest expense attributable to the acquisition installment payable are recorded as a component of interest expense, net. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are included in fair value adjustments of contingent consideration. The amount of expense recorded in interest expense, net and fair value adjustments of contingent consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $644 and $4,150, respectively. We recorded no interest expense or fair value adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Cost of Revenue Cost of revenue consists primarily of products purchased from third-party suppliers, excess and obsolete inventory adjustments, inbound freight, and royalties. Our implants and instruments are manufactured to our specifications by third-party suppliers who meet our manufacturer qualifications standards. Our third-party manufacturers are required to meet the standards of the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), and the International Organization for Standardization, as well as other country-specific quality standards. The majority of our implants and instruments are produced in the United States. Sales and Marketing Expenses Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of commissions to our domestic and select international independent sales agencies and consignment distributors, as well as compensation, commissions, benefits and other related costs for personnel we employ. Commissions and bonuses are generally based on a percentage of sales. Our international independent stocking distributors purchase instrument sets and replenishment stock for resale, and we do not pay commissions or any other sales related costs for international sales to distributors. Advertising Costs Advertising costs consist primarily of print advertising, trade shows, and other related expenses. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a component of sales and marketing expense. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Our research and development expenses primarily consist of costs associated with engineering, product development, consulting services, outside prototyping services, outside research activities, materials, development and protection of our intellectual property portfolio, as well as other costs associated with development of our products. Research and development costs also include related personnel and consultants’ compensation expense. Stock-Based Compensation Prior to our Initial Public Offering ("IPO") in October 2017, we maintained an Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) that provided for grants of options and restricted stock to employees, directors and associated third-party representatives of the Company as determined by the Board of Directors. The 2007 Plan had authorized 1,585,000 shares for award. Immediately prior to our IPO, we adopted our 2017 Incentive Award Plan (the "2017 Plan") which replaced the 2007 Plan. The 2017 Plan provides for grants of options and restricted stock to officers, employees, consultants or directors of our Company. The 2017 Plan has authorized 1,789,647 shares for award. Options holders, upon vesting, may purchase common stock at the exercise price, which is the estimated fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. Option grants generally vest immediately or over three years. No stock options were granted in any of the periods presented. Restricted stock may not be transferred prior to the expiration of the restricted period, which is typically three years. The restricted stock that had been granted under the 2007 Plan had restriction periods that generally lasted until the earlier of six years from the date of grant, or an IPO or change in control, as defined in the 2007 Plan. All restricted stock granted prior to May 2014 vested upon our IPO and the remaining grants under the 2007 Plan vested six months after the IPO. We recognize the reversal of stock compensation expense when a restricted stock forfeiture occurs as opposed to estimating future forfeitures. We record the fair value of restricted stock at the grant date. Stock-based compensation is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the restriction period for restricted stock. Litigation and Contingencies Accruals for litigation and contingencies are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on management’s assessment, including advice of legal counsel, of the expected outcome of litigation or other dispute resolution proceedings and/or the expected resolution of contingencies. Liabilities for estimated losses are accrued if the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability of loss and the determination as to whether the amount is reasonably estimable. Accruals are based only on information available at the time of the assessment due to the uncertain nature of such matters. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations in a given period. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gain (loss) on our short term investments. Income Taxes We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance. We record uncertain tax positions on the bases of a two-step process in which (i) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the positions and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. “Emerging Growth Company” and "Smaller Reporting Company" Reporting Requirements We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as a company is deemed to be an emerging growth company, it may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements that are generally unavailable to other public companies. Among other things, we are not required to provide an auditor attestation report on the assessment of the internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. In April 2017, the SEC adopted new rules that included an inflation-adjusted threshold in the definition of an emerging growth company. Under the new inflation-adjusted threshold, we would cease to be an emerging growth company on the last day of the fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion. This is an increase of $70 million from the previous $1 billion threshold. We also qualify as a "smaller reporting company," as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a smaller reporting company, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company.
