ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF KEY ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF KEY ACCOUNTING POLICIES AirSculpt Technologies, Inc. (“AirSculpt” or the “Company”), was formed as a Delaware corporation on June 30, 2021. On October 28, 2021, AirSculpt completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 8,050,000 shares of common stock at an initial public offering price of $11.00 per share. Of the 8,050,000 shares, AirSculpt offered 2,173,913, while 5,876,087 shares were offered by AirSculpt stockholders. The 8,050,000 shares, includes 1,050,000 shares purchased from AirSculpt stockholders upon the full execution of the underwriter's option to purchase additional shares. Immediately following the IPO, AirSculpt’s total outstanding shares were 55,640,154. Pursuant to a reorganization (the “Reorganization”) among entities under common control immediately prior to the IPO, AirSculpt became a holding company with its principal asset being 100% of the ownership interests in EBS Intermediate Parent LLC (“EBS Intermediate”). The operations of the Company prior to the IPO represent the operations of EBS Intermediate, the predecessor to AirSculpt. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to collectively in these consolidated financial statements as “we,” “our,” and “us.” Solely for convenience, some of the copyrights, trade names and trademarks referred to in these consolidated financial statements are listed without their ©, ® and ™ symbols, but we will assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights to our copyrights, trade names and trademarks. EBS Intermediate was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Delaware pursuant to an agreement effective October 2, 2018 to facilitate the acquisition of EBS Enterprises, LLC f/k/a Rollins Enterprises, LLC. Prior to the Reorganization, EBS Intermediate was a wholly-owned subsidiary of EBS Parent, LLC (the “Parent”). The Company’s revenues are concentrated in the specialty, minimally invasive liposuction market. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is a provider of practice management services to professional associations (“PAs”) located throughout the United States. The Company owns and operates non-clinical assets and provides its management services to the PAs through management services agreements (“MSAs”). Management services provide for the administration of the non-clinical aspects of the medical operations and include, but are not limited to, financial, administrative, technical, marketing, and personnel services. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company is providing management services to eighteen and fourteen medical practices, respectively. Pursuant to the MSA, the PA is responsible for all clinical aspects of the medical operations of the practice. Impact of COVID-19 The COVID-19 global pandemic has significantly affected the Company’s centers, employees, customers, communities, business operations and financial performance, as well as the U.S. economy and financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic materially impacted the Company’s financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s facilities were shutdown for two The Company did not experience any facility shutdowns during the year ended December 31, 2021 due to COVID-19. However, the Company will continue to monitor the current COVID-19 situation in each market the Company operates in and will react accordingly should events require us to temporarily close. Principles of Consolidation These consolidated financial statements present the financial position and results of operations of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the PAs, which are considered variable interest entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Variable Interest Entities The Company has a variable interest in the managed PAs where it has a long-term and unilateral controlling financial interest over such PAs’ assets and operations. The Company has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the PAs’ economic performance via the MSAs and related agreements. The Company is a practice management service organization and does not engage in the practice of medicine. These services are provided by licensed professionals at each of the PAs. Certain key features of the MSAs and related agreements enable the Company to assign the member interests of certain of the PAs to another member designated by the Company (i.e., “nominee shareholder”) for a nominal value in certain circumstances at the Company’s sole discretion. The MSA does not allow the Company to be involved in, or provide guidance on, the clinical operations of the PAs. The Company consolidates the PAs into the financial statements. All of the Company’s revenue is earned from services provided by the PAs. The only assets and liabilities held by the PAs included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are clinical related. The clinical assets and liabilities are not material to the Company as a whole. Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Concentration of Credit Risk The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company’s revenues are concentrated in the specialty, minimally invasive liposuction market. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which may at times exceed the amount covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Revenue Recognition Revenues consist primarily of revenues earned for the provision of the Company’s patented AirSculpt ® procedures. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligations are delivery of specialty, minimally invasive liposuction services. The Company assists patients, as needed, by providing third-party financing options to pay for procedures. The Company has arrangements with various financing companies to facilitate this option. There is a financing transaction fee based on a set percentage of the amount financed and the Company recognizes revenue based on the expected transaction price which is reduced for financing fees. Revenue for services is recognized when the service is performed. Payment is typically rendered in advance of the service. Customer contracts generally do not include more than one performance obligation. The Company’s policy is to require payment for services in advance. Payments received for services that have yet to be performed as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are included in deferred revenue and patient deposits. Cost of Service Cost of service is comprised of all service and product costs related to the delivery of procedures, including but not limited to compensation to doctors, nurses and clinical staff, supply costs, and facility rent expense. Deferred Financing Costs, Net Loan costs are capitalized in the period in which they are incurred and amortized on the straight-line basis over the term of the respective financing agreement which approximates the effective interest method. These costs are included as a reduction of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets. Total amortization of deferred financing costs was approximately $0.6 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is included as a component of interest expense. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method of accounting over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Depreciation of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the remaining lease term. Leases On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 - Leases using the modified retrospective transition approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at that date. Results and disclosure requirements for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under the new guidance. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the right to use the underlying assets for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term, which includes only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. When readily determinable, the Company uses the interest rate implicit in a lease to determine the present value of future lease payments. For leases where the implicit rate is not readily determinable, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used. The Company calculates its incremental borrowing rate on a periodic basis using a third-party financial model that estimates the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the total lease payments on a collateralized basis over a term similar to the lease. The Company applies its incremental borrowing rate using a portfolio approach. The right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made prior to commencement and is recorded net of any lease incentives received. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Indefinite-lived, non-amortizing intangible assets include goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration conveyed in the acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is evaluated annually for impairment or sooner if factors occur that would trigger an impairment review. Judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on market conditions and operational performance. Definite-lived, amortizing intangible assets primarily consist of patents, tradenames and other intellectual property. The Company amortizes definite-lived identifiable intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 15 years. Impairment of goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but evaluated for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the value may not be recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances which could trigger an impairment review include significant adverse changes in the business climate, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, or the strategy for the overall business, significant industry or economic trends, or significant underperformance relevant to expected historical or projected future results of operations. Goodwill is assessed for possible impairment by performing a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the events or circumstances, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. However, if the Company were to believe the fair value was more likely than not lower than the carrying value, then the Company is required to perform a quantitative analysis. The quantitative analysis involves comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its respective book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no additional steps are necessary. If, however, the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its book value, then the carrying amount of the goodwill is reduced by recording an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually on October 1. See “Note 2—Goodwill and Intangibles, Net” for further discussion. Long-Lived Assets The Company accounts for impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 350, Intangibles— Goodwill and Other . This standard requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future estimated cash flows expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. No impairment charges were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 or 2019. Fair Value ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure s, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 defines three categories for the classification and measurement of assets and liabilities carried at fair value: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or observable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions. The fair value of financial instruments is generally estimated through the use of public market prices, quotes from financial institutions and other available information. Judgment is required in interpreting data to develop estimates of market value and, accordingly, amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. Short-term financial instruments, including cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, for which the fair value, based on management’s estimates, approximates their carrying values. Borrowings bear interest at what is estimated to be current market rates of interest, accordingly, carrying value approximates fair value. Equity-Based Compensation Unit-based Compensation Prior to the IPO and Reorganization, EBS Parent, LLC had outstanding Profit Interest Units (“PIUs”) under the Parent’s 2018 incentive unit plan. In conjunction with the IPO and Reorganization, all of the outstanding PIUs were settled. Share-based Compensation Subsequent to the IPO and Reorganization, the Company established the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. Under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, 3,950,450 stock units were awarded to AirSculpt’s executive officers and directors and 728,880 stock units were awarded to employees on November 4, 2021 and November 10, 2021, respectively. These stock units were granted in the form of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”). See “Note 6 - Equity-based Compensation” for further discussion of the Company’s share-base award structure. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for employees and non-employees based on the grant-date fair value of RSU and PSU awards over the applicable service period. For awards that vest based on continued service, share-based compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the awards. For PSUs vesting based on the achievement of a specified performance condition, share-based compensation cost is recognized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service period when it is probable the performance condition will be achieved. The performance conditions represent a combination of the Company’s actual financial performance and market based conditions. Once it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved, the Company recognizes unit-based compensation cost over the remaining requisite service period under a graded vesting model, with a cumulative adjustment for the portion of the service period that occurred for the period prior to the performance condition becoming probable of being achieved. The grant date fair value of RSUs and PSUs based on the Company’s financial performance, are based on the underlying value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Determining the fair value of PSUs with market-based vesting conditions requires judgment. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of PSUs that have market-based vesting conditions. See “Note 6—Equity-Based Compensation” for further discussion. The determination of share-based compensation cost is inherently uncertain and subjective and involves the application of valuation models and assumptions requiring the use of judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, share-based compensation expense or results of operations could be significantly different. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed in the period when the costs are incurred and are included as a component of selling, general and administrative costs. Advertising costs were approximately $14.8 million, $7.0 million and $7.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Income Taxes Prior to the Reorganization, EBS Intermediate was organized as a limited liability company and elected to be treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the tax consequences of EBS Intermediate’s profits and losses were passed through to the members of EBS Intermediate and were reported in their respective income tax returns. Therefore, prior to the Reorganization no provision for income taxes was provided. As of October 28, 2021 and pursuant the Reorganization, the Company became a Corporation and is now subject to being taxed as a C corporation. Income taxes consist of U.S. federal, state and international taxes for jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. If based upon all available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established. The valuation allowance may be reversed in a subsequent reporting period if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that all or part of the deferred tax asset will become realizable. In accordance with ASC 740 , Income Taxes , the Company evaluated the technical merits of its income tax positions and has established income tax reserves for uncertain tax positions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. See “Note 9 - Income Taxes” for further information. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) which outlines a single comprehensive model for recognizing revenue and supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company was required to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of member’s equity as of January 1, 2019, the date of initial application. The cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes Topic 840, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016- 02 requires a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition approach. The most prominent of the changes resulting from ASU 2016-02 is the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases.
