Interim Financial Statements We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements, and the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all necessary material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, to fairly state our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Use of Estimates Preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, distributor rebate accruals, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for goodwill and long-lived assets, loss contingencies, and deferred tax assets and potential income tax assessments. Our estimates are subject to uncertainties associated with supply chain disruptions, which have caused volatility and adverse effects in global markets. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and the effect of any change could be material to our financial statements. Changes in these estimates are recorded when known. Annual Goodwill Impairment Test We test goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently whenever events or circumstances more likely than not indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit may be below its carrying value. We operate as a single reportable operating segment with one reporting unit. The fair value of our reporting unit was estimated using a combination of income (discounted cash flow analysis) and market approaches. The income approach is dependent upon several assumptions regarding future periods such as sales growth and a terminal growth rate. A weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) was used to discount future estimated cash flows to their present values. The WACC was based on externally observable data considering market participants’ cost of equity and debt, optimal capital structure and risk factors specific to us. The market approach estimates the value of our company using a market capitalization methodology. We completed our annual goodwill impairment test as of July 1, 2022, and determined that the fair value of our reporting unit exceeds the net carrying amount. There can be no assurance that the assumptions and estimates made for purposes of the annual goodwill impairment test will prove to be accurate. Volatility in the equity and debt markets, or increases in interest rates, could result in a higher discount rate. Changes in sales volumes, selling prices and costs of goods sold, and increases in interest rates could cause changes in our forecasted cash flows. Unfavorable changes in any of the factors described above could result in a goodwill impairment charge in the future. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Effective January 1, 2022, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-04, Issuers Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This ASU is intended to clarify accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity-classified after modification or exchange. The accounting is determined based on whether the transaction was done to issue equity, issue or modify debt or for other reasons. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations: Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU pertains to acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination and addresses diversity in practice and inconsistency related to recognition of an acquired contract liability and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. This ASU is to be applied prospectively for years beginning after December 15, 2022. Adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Change in Accounting Principle During the third quarter of 2022, we elected to change our method of accounting for U.S. inventory from the Last-In, First-Out (“LIFO”) method to the First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) method. We believe the FIFO method of accounting for inventory is preferable because it provides for an inventory balance that more closely reflects the inventory’s current cost, improves efficiency and enhances comparability with our peers. The effects of the change in accounting method from LIFO to FIFO have been retrospectively applied to all periods presented in all sections of this Form 10-Q, including Management's Discussion and Analysis. As a result of the accounting change, accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2021 improved from $315.5 million, as reported under the LIFO method to $309.9 million using the FIFO method. Accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2022 improved from $310.3 million, as reported under the LIFO method to $303.6 million using the FIFO method.
