NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note A — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Hanger, Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is a leading national provider of products and services that assist in enhancing or restoring the physical capabilities of patients with disabilities or injuries. We provide orthotic and prosthetic (“O&P”) services, distribute O&P devices and components, manage O&P networks, and provide therapeutic solutions to patients and businesses in acute, post-acute, and clinic settings. We operate through 2 segments, Patient Care and Products & Services.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and, therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”), as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

In our opinion, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year.

A detailed description of our significant accounting policies and management judgments is contained in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Recent Developments Regarding COVID-19

We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic (“COVID-19 pandemic”). The extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial condition are highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as viral infections continue to increase and information is rapidly evolving. We believe that our patients are deferring visits to our O&P clinics as well as elective surgical procedures, both of which impact our business volumes through decreased patient encounters and physician referrals. Furthermore, capital markets and the economy have been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it still remains possible that it could cause a recessionary environment impacting the healthcare industry generally, including the O&P industry. The continuing economic disruption has had and could have a continuing material adverse effect on our business, as the duration and extent of state and local government restrictions impacting our patients’ ability or willingness to visit our O&P clinics and those of our customers, is unknown. The United States government has responded with fiscal policy measures intended to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole, including the passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) in March 2020. We continue to monitor the provisions of the CARES Act and their application to us, as well as future governmental policies and their impact on our business; however, the magnitude and overall effectiveness of such policies to us and the economy as a whole remains uncertain.

CARES Act

The CARES Act established the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, also referred to as the Cares Act Provider Relief Fund, which set aside $175.0 billion to be administered through grants and other mechanisms to hospitals, public entities, not-for-profit entities and Medicare- and Medicaid- enrolled suppliers and institutional providers. The purpose of these funds is to reimburse providers for lost revenue and health-care related expenses that are attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) began making payments to healthcare providers from the $175.0 billion appropriation. These are payments, rather than loans, to healthcare providers, and will not need to be repaid.

Table of Contents

During the second and third quarters of 2020, we recognized a total benefit of $20.6 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations within Other operating costs for a portion of the grant proceeds we received under the CARES Act (“Grants”) from HHS. We recognize income related to grants on a systematic and rational basis when it becomes probable that we have complied with the terms and conditions of the grant and in the period in which the corresponding costs or income related to the grant are recognized. We recognized the benefit from the Grants within Other operating costs in our Patient Care segment. As of September 30, 2020, we have recorded a liability of $3.4 million within Accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to proceeds from the Grants for amounts that have not met the recognition criteria in accordance with our accounting policy.

The CARES Act also provides for a deferral of the employer portion of payroll taxes incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic through December 2020. The provisions allow us to defer half of such payroll taxes until December 2021 and the remaining half until December 2022. We deferred $7.1 million of payroll taxes within Other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and related clarifying standards, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2020 resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit of $0.2 million.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which modifies the disclosures on fair value measurements by removing the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of such transfers. The ASU expands the disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements, primarily focused on changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. There was no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows due to the adoption on January 1, 2020.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. Among other provisions, this ASU removes the exception that limited the income tax benefit recognized in the interim period in cases when the year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. Adoption of this standard is effective beginning January 1, 2021, but as early adoption is permitted, we have selected to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2020. There was no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows due to the adoption.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. We are currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

Note B — Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus any potentially dilutive common shares, such as stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based units calculated using the treasury stock method. Total anti-dilutive shares excluded from diluted earnings per share were 34,379 and 20,202 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 10 and 0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Note C — Revenue Recognition

Patient Care Segment

Revenue in our Patient Care segment is primarily derived from contracts with third party payors for the provision of O&P devices and is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products or services to the patient at the time the patient receives the device. At, or subsequent to delivery, we issue an invoice to the third party payor, which primarily consists of commercial insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (the “VA”), and private or patient pay (“Private Pay”) individuals. We recognize revenue for the amounts we expect to receive from payors based on expected contractual reimbursement rates, which are net of estimated contractual discounts and implicit price concessions. These revenue amounts are further revised as claims are adjudicated, which may result in additional disallowances.

The following table disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers in our Patient Care segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:


	For the Three Months Ended				For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,

The impact to revenue related to prior period performance obligations was not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Products & Services Segment

Revenue in our Products & Services segment is derived from the distribution of O&P components and from therapeutic solutions, which includes the leasing and sale of rehabilitation equipment and ancillary consumable supplies combined with equipment maintenance, education, and training.

Note D — Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable, net represents outstanding amounts we expect to collect from the transfer of our products and services. Principally, these amounts are comprised of receivables from Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance plans. Our accounts receivable represents amounts outstanding from our gross charges, net of contractual discounts, sales returns, and other implicit price concessions including estimates for payor disallowances and patient non-payments.

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our accounts receivable. These receivables are short in nature because their due date varies between due upon receipt of invoice and 90 days. We assess our receivables, divide them into similar risk pools, and monitor our ongoing credit exposure through active review of our aging buckets. Our activities include timely account reconciliations, dispute resolution, and payment confirmations. We also employ collection agencies and legal counsel to pursue recovery of defaulted receivables.

As part of the new accounting standard discussed in Note A - “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” our expected loss methodology is developed using historical liquidation rates, current and future economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of our patients and customers' trade accounts receivable balances. We also grouped our receivables into similar risk pools to better measure the risks for each pool. After evaluating the risk for each pool, we determined that additional credit loss risk was immaterial for the Patient Care segment. For the Products & Services segment, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded, which is deducted from gross accounts receivable to arrive at “Accounts receivable, net.” As of September 30, 2020, we have considered the current and future economic and market conditions resulting in an increase to the allowance for doubtful accounts by approximately $0.7 million since December 31, 2019.

Accounts receivable, net as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is comprised of the following:

Note G — Acquisitions

2020 Acquisition Activity

In the second quarter of 2020, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of an O&P business for total consideration of $46.1 million at fair value, of which $16.8 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, $21.9 million was issued in the form of notes to the former shareholders, $3.5 million in the form of a deferred payment obligation to the former shareholders and $4.0 million in additional consideration. Of the $21.9 million in notes issued to the former shareholders, approximately $18.1 million of the notes were paid in October 2020 in a lump sum payment and the remaining $3.8 million of the notes are payable in annual installments over a period of three years on the anniversary date of the acquisition. Payments totaling $3.5 million under the deferred payment obligation are due in annual installments beginning in the fourth year following the acquisition and for three years thereafter. Additional consideration includes approximately $3.6 million in liabilities incurred to the shareholders as part of the business combination payable in October 2020 and is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remaining $0.4 million in additional consideration represents the effective settlement of amounts due to us from the acquired O&P business as of the acquisition date. We completed the acquisition with the intention of expanding the geographic footprint of our patient care offerings through the acquisition of high quality O&P providers.

Table of Contents

We accounted for this transaction under the acquisition method of accounting and have reported the results of operations of the acquisition as of the date of the acquisition. We based the estimated fair values of intangible assets on an income approach utilizing primarily discounted cash flow techniques for non-compete agreements and an income approach utilizing the excess earnings method for customer relationships. The income approach utilizes management’s estimates of future operating results and cash flows using a weighted average cost of capital that reflects market participant assumptions. Other significant judgments used in the valuation of tangible assets acquired in the acquisition include estimated selling price of inventory and estimated replacement cost for acquired property, plant, and equipment. For all other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the fair value reflects the carrying value of the asset or liability due to their short maturity. We recorded the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred in the acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired as goodwill. The goodwill reflects our expectations of favorable future growth opportunities, anticipated synergies through the scale of our O&P operations, and the assembled workforce. We expect that substantially all of the Goodwill, which has been assigned to our Patient Care reporting unit, will not be deductible for federal income tax purposes.

We have not presented pro forma combined results for this acquisition because the impact on previously reported statements of operations would not have been material.

Purchase Price Allocation

We have performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when we have completed and fully reviewed the detailed valuations and could differ materially from the preliminary allocations. The final allocations may include changes in allocations of acquired intangible assets as well as goodwill and other changes to assets and liabilities, including deferred taxes. The estimated useful lives of acquired intangible assets are also preliminary.

The aggregate purchase price of this acquisition was allocated on a preliminary basis as follows:


(in thousands)
Cash paid, net of cash acquired	$	16,762
Issuance of seller notes at fair value		21,941
Deferred payment obligation at fair value		3,468
Additional consideration, net		3,975
Aggregate purchase price		46,146

Accounts receivable		3,182
Inventories		2,021

Non-compete agreements (Weighted average useful life of 5.0 years)		200
Other assets and liabilities, net		(4,301)
Net assets acquired		6,702
Goodwill	$	39,444

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases recognized in connection with the acquisition completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $4.7 million.

2019 Acquisition Activity

During 2019, we completed the following acquisitions of O&P clinics, none of which were individually material to our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We completed each acquisition with the intention of expanding the geographic footprint of our patient care offerings through the acquisitions of high quality O&P providers.

●

In the first quarter of 2019, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding equity interests of an O&P business for total consideration of $32.8 million, of which $27.7 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, $4.4 million was issued in the form of notes to shareholders at fair value, and $0.7 million was additional consideration.

Goodwill	$	33,756

(1)	Approximately $0.7 million of additional consideration represents payments made during the third quarter related to certain tax elections with the seller, offset by an immaterial amount of favorable working capital adjustments.

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases recognized in connection with acquisitions completed for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $5.2 million.

Note H — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We assess goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of October 1st, and between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

Note K — Income Taxes

We recorded a benefit for income taxes of $1.9 million and $4.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The effective tax rate was -39.0% and -27.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. We recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.6 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The effective tax rate was 31.2% and 27.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily attributable to a tax benefit resulting from the loss carryback provisions granted under the CARES Act. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the net tax benefit of the loss carryback claim and non-deductible expenses. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily attributable to the recognition of research and development tax credits for the current and prior years and a tax benefit resulting from the loss carryback provisions granted under the CARES Act, partially offset by a shortfall from share-based compensation. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to research and development tax credits, the net tax benefit of the loss carryback claim, and non-deductible expenses. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses.

During the second quarter of 2020, we completed a study of qualifying research and development expenses resulting in the recognition of tax benefits of $2.2 million, net of tax reserves, related to the current year and $6.3 million, net of tax reserves, related to the prior years as of the third quarter of 2020. We recorded the tax benefit, before tax reserves, as a deferred tax asset.

The CARES Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020, includes changes to certain tax laws related to the deductibility of interest expense and depreciation, as well as the provision to carryback net operating losses to five preceding years. ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. As a result of the CARES Act provisions, in the third quarter of 2020 we recognized a tax benefit of $4.0 million resulting from the loss carryback claim to a prior period with a higher statutory rate, which also decreased our current income taxes payable by $9.5 million as of September 30, 2020.

Refinancing of Credit Agreement and Term B Borrowings

On March 6, 2018, we entered into a $605.0 million Senior Credit Facility (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $100.0 million that matures in March 2023 and (ii) a $505.0 million Term Loan B facility due in quarterly principal installments commencing June 29, 2018, with all remaining outstanding principal due at maturity in March 2025. Availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit, which were approximately $5.2 million as of September 30, 2020. We may (a) increase the aggregate principal amount of any outstanding tranche of term loans or add one or more additional tranches of term loans under the loan documents, and/or (b) increase the aggregate principal amount of revolving commitments or add one or more additional revolving loan facilities under the loan documents by an aggregate amount of up to the sum of (1) $125.0 million and (2) an amount such that, after giving effect to such incurrence of such amount (but excluding the cash proceeds of such incremental facilities and certain other indebtedness, and treating all commitments in respect of revolving indebtedness as fully drawn), the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio is equal to or less than 3.80 to 1.00, if certain conditions are satisfied, including the absence of a default or an event of default under the Credit Agreement at the time of the increase and that we obtain the consent of each lender providing any incremental facility.

In March 2020, we borrowed $79.0 million under our revolving credit facility, which was due in March 2023. In June 2020, we repaid $57.0 million in borrowings under this revolving credit facility, and in September 2020, we repaid the remaining $22.0 million in borrowings under the facility. We had approximately $94.8 million in available borrowing capacity under our $100.0 million revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2020.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are currently guaranteed by our material domestic subsidiaries and will from time to time be guaranteed by, subject in each case to certain exceptions, any domestic subsidiaries that may become material in the future. Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement is secured by first-priority perfected liens and security interests in substantially all of our personal property and each subsidiary guarantor.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) LIBOR plus a specified margin, or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) Bank of America, N.A.’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% plus one-month LIBOR) plus a specified margin. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our Term Loan B facility was approximately 3.6%. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge certain of our interest rate exposures, as more fully disclosed in Note N – “Derivative Financial Instruments.”

Table of Contents

We must also pay (i) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.500% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) a per annum fee equal to (a) for each performance standby letter of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement with respect to nonfinancial contractual obligations, 50% of the applicable margin over LIBOR under the revolving credit facility in effect from time to time multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under such letter of credit, and (b) for each other letter of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin over LIBOR under the revolving credit facility in effect from time to time multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn for such letter of credit.

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants, including: i) requirements that we maintain certain financial ratios at prescribed levels, ii) a prohibition on payment of dividends and other distributions and iii) restrictions on our ability and certain of our subsidiaries to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, or consummate acquisitions outside the healthcare industry. The Credit Agreement includes the following financial covenants applicable for so long as any revolving loans and/or revolving commitments remain outstanding under the Credit Agreement (some of which were amended in May 2020 by the Amendment (as defined and described below)): (i) a maximum consolidated first lien net leverage ratio (“Net Leverage Ratio") (defined as, with certain adjustments and exclusions, the ratio of consolidated first-lien indebtedness to consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and certain other items (“EBITDA”) for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available) of 4.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2020 through March 31, 2021; 4.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2021 through March 31, 2022; and 3.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter; and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of our EBITDA to consolidated interest expense to the extent paid or payable in cash) of 2.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then the lenders may declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that the occurrence of an event of default as a result of a breach of a financial covenant under the Credit Agreement does not constitute a default or event of default with respect to any term facility under the Credit Agreement unless and until the required revolving lenders shall have terminated their revolving commitments and declared all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility to be due and payable. In addition, if we or any subsidiary guarantor becomes the subject of voluntary or involuntary proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, then any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement will automatically become immediately due and payable. Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate of 2.00% per annum in excess of the otherwise applicable rate (i) upon acceleration of such loans, (ii) while a payment event of default exists or (iii) upon the lenders’ request, during the continuance of any other event of default.

In May 2020, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Amendment") that provided for, amongst other things, an increase in the maximum Net Leverage Ratio to 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2020 through March 31, 2021; 5.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2021 through September 30, 2021; and 4.75 to 1.00 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. In addition, the Amendment changed the definition of EBITDA used in the Net Leverage Ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio to adjust for declines in net revenue attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the greater of LIBOR or 1%, plus 3.75%. In addition, the Amendment contained certain restrictions and covenants that further limit our ability, and certain of our subsidiaries' ability, to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, or consummate acquisitions not financed with the proceeds of an equity offering, except that certain acquisitions are permitted after September 30, 2020, in the event we maintain certain leverage and liquidity thresholds. We capitalized debt issuance costs of $0.2 million in connection with the Amendment, which were recorded in Other assets.

We were in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2020.

Seller notes and the deferred payment obligation

We typically issue subordinated promissory notes (“Seller notes”) as a part of the consideration transferred when making acquisitions. We measure these instruments at their estimated fair values as of the respective acquisition dates. The stated interest rates on these instruments range from 2.50% to 3.00%. The Seller notes are unsecured and are presented net of unamortized discount of $0.9 million and $0.4 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Principal and interest are payable in quarterly or annual installments and mature through October 2024.

Table of Contents

Amounts due under the deferred payment obligation to the former shareholders of an acquired O&P business are unsecured and presented net of unamortized discount of $0.5 million as of September 30, 2020. The deferred payment obligation was measured at its estimated fair value as of the acquisition date and accrues interest at a rate of 3.0%. Principal and interest payments under the deferred payment obligation are due in annual installments beginning in 2024 and for three years thereafter.

Note M — Fair Value Measurements

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of our outstanding term loan as of September 30, 2020 (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $6.9 million) was $492.4 million compared to its fair value of $487.5 million. The carrying value of our outstanding term loan as of December 31, 2019 (excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $7.9 million) was $496.2 million compared to its fair value of $497.4 million. Our estimates of fair value are based on a discounted cash flow model and an indicative quote using unobservable inputs, primarily, our risk-adjusted credit spread, which represents a Level 3 measurement.

We have interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges and are measured at fair value based on inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable, which represents a Level 2 measurement. See Note L - “Debt and Other Obligations” and Note N - “Derivative Financial Instruments” for further information.

We believe that the carrying value of the Seller notes and the deferred payment obligation approximates their fair values based on a discounted cash flow model using unobservable inputs, primarily, our credit spread for subordinated debt, which represents a Level 3 measurement. The carrying value of our outstanding Seller notes and the deferred payment obligation issued in connection with past acquisitions as of September 30, 2020 was $32.3 million, net of unamortized discounts of $0.9 million.

Note N — Derivative Financial Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

In March 2018, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with notional values of $325.0 million at inception, which reduces $12.5 million annually until the swaps mature on March 6, 2024. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our swaps had a notional value outstanding of $300.0 million and $312.5 million, respectively.

Note O — Share-Based Compensation

On May 17, 2019, the shareholders approved the Hanger, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). The 2019 Plan authorizes the issuance of (a) up to 2,025,000 shares of Common Stock, plus (b) 243,611 shares available for issuance under the Hanger, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). Upon approval of the 2019 Plan, the 2016 Plan was no longer available for future awards.

On May 19, 2017, the Board of Directors approved the Hanger, Inc. Special Equity Plan (the “Special Equity Plan”). The Special Equity Plan authorized up to 1.5 million shares of Common Stock and operates completely independent from our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan. All awards under the Special Equity Plan were made on May 19, 2017, which consisted of 0.8 million stock options and 0.3 million performance-based stock awards. No further grants of awards will be authorized or issued under the Special Equity Plan.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2020, there were 1,564,081 unvested restricted stock awards outstanding. This was comprised of 1,126,361 employee service-based awards with a weighted average grant date fair value of $19.23 per share, 367,097 employee performance-based awards with a weighted average grant date fair value of $18.94 per share, and 70,623 director service-based awards with a weighted average grant date value of $17.08 per share. As of September 30, 2020, there were 520,105 outstanding options exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $12.77 and average remaining contractual term of 6.6 years.

The 2017 Special Equity Plan was amended in May 2020 to modify the performance period ending date for purposes of the compounded annual growth rate calculation to February 20, 2020, shortening the performance period to approximately 33 months, representing a reduction of three months. This adjustment was considered a modification per Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, and, therefore, any incremental fair value arising from the modification of an award with market conditions would be recognized over the remaining service period. As a result of the modification, we recognized an additional $5.9 million in share-based compensation expense during the second quarter of 2020.

We recognized a total of approximately $3.1 million and $15.6 million of share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and a total of approximately $3.4 million and $10.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Share-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, relates to restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and stock options.

Note P — Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

Defined Benefit Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

Effective January 2004, we implemented an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit plan (“DB SERP”) for certain senior executives. The DB SERP, which we administer, calls for 15 annual payments upon retirement with the payment amount based on years of service and final average salary. Benefit costs and liability balances are calculated based on certain assumptions including benefits earned, discount rates, interest costs, mortality rates, and other factors. Actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods, affecting the recorded obligation and expense in future periods.

We believe the assumptions used are appropriate; however, changes in assumptions or differences in actual experience may affect our benefit obligation and future expenses. The change in net benefit cost and obligation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

Change in Benefit Obligation:


(in thousands)	2020		2019
Benefit obligation as of June 30	$	17,763	$	17,535

Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

In 2013, we established a defined contribution plan (“DC SERP”) that covers certain of our senior executives. Each participant is given a notional account to manage his or her annual distributions and allocate the funds among various investment options (e.g. mutual funds). These accounts are tracking accounts only for the purpose of calculating the participant’s benefit. The participant does not have ownership of the underlying mutual funds. When a participant initiates or changes the allocation of his or her notional account, we will generally make an allocation of our investments to match those chosen by the participant. While the allocation of our sub accounts is generally intended to mirror the participant’s account records (i.e. the distributions and gains or losses on those funds), the employee does not have legal ownership of any funds until payout upon retirement. The underlying investments are owned by the insurance company with which we own an insurance policy.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the estimated accumulated obligation benefit is $4.2 million and $3.9 million, of which $3.8 million and $3.3 million is funded and $0.4 million and $0.6 million is unfunded at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

In connection with the DC SERP benefit obligation, we maintain a company-owned life insurance policy (“COLI”). The carrying value of the COLI is measured at its cash surrender value and is presented within other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note I - “Other Current Assets and Other Assets” for additional information.

Note Q — Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees and Indemnification

In the ordinary course of our business, we may enter into service agreements with service providers in which we agree to indemnify or limit the service provider against certain losses and liabilities arising from the service provider’s performance of the agreement. We have reviewed our existing contracts containing indemnification or clauses of guarantees and do not believe that our liability under such agreements is material.

Legal Proceedings

Derivative Litigation

In February and August of 2015, 2 separate shareholder derivative suits were filed in Texas state court against us related to the announced restatement of certain of our financial statements. The cases were subsequently consolidated into Judy v. Asar, et. al., Cause No. D-1-GN-15-000625. On October 25, 2016, plaintiffs in that action filed an amended complaint, and the case is currently pending before the 345th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas.

The amended complaint in the consolidated derivative action names us and certain of our current and former officers and directors as defendants. It alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty based, inter alia, on the defendants’ alleged failure to exercise good faith to ensure that we had in place adequate accounting and financial controls and that disclosures regarding our business, financial performance and internal controls were truthful and accurate. The complaint sought unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief.

Table of Contents

As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 6, 2016, the Board of Directors appointed a Special Litigation Committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”). The Board delegated to the Special Committee the authority to (1) determine whether it is in our best interests to pursue any of the allegations made in the derivative cases filed in Texas state court (which cases were consolidated into the Judy case discussed above), (2) determine whether it is in our best interests to pursue any remedies against any of our current or former employees, officers, or directors as a result of the conduct discovered in the Audit Committee investigation concluded on June 6, 2016 (the “Investigation”), and (3) otherwise resolve claims or matters relating to the findings of the Investigation. The Special Committee retained independent legal counsel to assist and advise it in carrying out its duties and reviewed and considered the evidence and various factors relating to our best interests. In accordance with its findings and conclusions, the Special Committee determined that it is not in our best interest to pursue any of the claims in the Judy derivative case. Also in accordance with its findings and conclusions, the Special Committee determined that it is not in our best interests to pursue legal remedies against any of our current or former employees, officers, or directors.

On April 14, 2017, we filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated derivative action based on the resolution by the Special Committee that it is not in our best interest to pursue the derivative claims. Counsel for the derivative plaintiffs opposed that motion and moved to compel discovery. In a hearing held on June 12, 2017, the Travis County court denied plaintiffs’ motion to compel, and held that the motion to dismiss would be considered only after appropriate discovery was concluded.

The plaintiffs subsequently subpoenaed counsel for the Special Committee, seeking a copy of the full report prepared by the Special Committee and its independent counsel. Counsel for the Special Committee, as well as our counsel, took the position that the full report is not discoverable under Texas law. Plaintiffs’ counsel filed a motion to compel the Special Committee’s counsel to produce the report. We opposed the motion. On July 20, 2018, the Travis County court ruled that only a redacted version of the report is discoverable, and counsel for the Special Committee provided a redacted version of the report to plaintiffs’ counsel. Plaintiffs objected to the redacted version of the report, and on February 4, 2019, the Travis County court appointed a Special Master to review plaintiffs’ objections to the redacted report. On March 22, 2019, the Special Master submitted a report to the Travis County court recommending that the court order that the entire Special Committee report be produced. On April 2, 2019 we filed an objection to the Special Master’s report and recommendation, and requested a hearing on the matter. On June 25, 2019, the Travis County court rejected the recommendation of the Special Master, and instead ordered that only a limited additional portion of the Special Committee report should be unredacted. On July 10, 2019, the updated redacted Special Committee report was provided to plaintiffs through their counsel.

In late October 2019, a non-binding agreement in principle was reached by the parties to settle the consolidated derivative action, the parties entered into a definitive settlement agreement in late December 2019, and in January 2020 the Travis County court issued an order providing preliminary approval of the settlement and ordering that notice of the settlement be made to the Company’s shareholders. On March 10, 2020, the Travis County court issued an order providing final approval of the settlement and dismissing with prejudice the consolidated derivative action.

Other Matters

From time to time we are subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of our business, and are also subject to additional payments under business purchase agreements. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of our operations.

We operate in a highly regulated industry and receive regulatory agency inquiries from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including inquiries relating to our billing activities. No assurance can be given that any discrepancies identified during a regulatory review will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Note R — Segment and Related Information

We have identified 2 segments and both performance evaluation and resource allocation decisions are determined based on each segment’s income from operations. The operating segments are described further below:

Table of Contents

Patient Care — This segment consists of (i) our owned and operated patient care clinics, and (ii) our contracting and network management business. The patient care clinics provide services to design and fit O&P devices to patients. These clinics also instruct patients in the use, care, and maintenance of the devices. The principal reimbursement sources for our services are:

●

Commercial private payors and other, which consist of individuals, rehabilitation providers, commercial insurance companies, health management organizations (“HMOs”), preferred provider organizations (“PPOs”), hospitals, vocational rehabilitation, workers’ compensation programs, and similar sources;

●

Medicare, a federally funded health insurance program providing health insurance coverage for persons aged 65 or older and certain persons with disabilities, which provides reimbursement for O&P products and services based on prices set forth in published fee schedules (generally with either 10 regional pricing areas or state level prices) for prosthetics and orthotics and by state for durable medical equipment (DMEPOS);

●

Medicaid, a health insurance program jointly funded by federal and state governments providing health insurance coverage for certain persons requiring financial assistance, regardless of age, which may supplement Medicare benefits for persons aged 65 or older requiring financial assistance; and

●

the VA.

Our contract and network management business, known as Linkia, is the only network management company dedicated solely to serving the O&P market and is focused on managing the O&P services of national and regional insurance companies. We partner with healthcare insurance companies by securing a national or regional contract either as a preferred provider or to manage their O&P network of providers.

Products & Services - This segment consists of our distribution business, which distributes and fabricates O&P products and components to sell to both the O&P industry and our own patient care clinics, and our therapeutic solutions business. The therapeutic solutions business leases and sells rehabilitation equipment and ancillary consumable supplies combined with equipment maintenance, education, and training.

Corporate & Other - This consists of corporate overhead and includes unallocated expense such as personnel costs, professional fees, and corporate offices expenses.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note A - “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Intersegment revenue primarily relates to sales of O&P components from the Products & Services segment to the Patient Care segment. The sales are priced at the cost of the related materials plus overhead.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our liquidity and our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategies. These statements often include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “project,” “potential,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “seek,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “forecasts,” or similar words. These statements are based on certain assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors we believe are appropriate in these circumstances. We believe these assumptions are reasonable, but you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative, that may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports.

These statements involve risks, estimates, assumptions, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these statements and elsewhere in this report. These uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the financial and business impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and the operations of our customers, suppliers, governmental and private payers, and others in the healthcare industry and beyond; federal laws governing the health care industry; governmental policies affecting O&P operations, including with respect to reimbursement; failure to successfully implement a new enterprise resource planning system or other disruptions to information technology systems; the inability to successfully execute our acquisition strategy, including integration of recently acquired O&P clinics into our existing business; changes in the demand for our O&P products and services, including additional competition in the O&P services market; disruptions to our supply chain; our ability to enter into and derive benefits from managed-care contracts; our ability to successfully attract and retain qualified O&P clinicians; and other risks and uncertainties generally affecting the health care industry.

Readers are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, those described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors”, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”) and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, some of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained therein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. Actual results could differ materially and adversely from those contemplated by any forward-looking statement. In light of the significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements in this discussion to reflect events and circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect unanticipated events. Forward-looking statements and our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations may be affected by the risks set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors”, contained in our 2019 Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or by other unknown risks and uncertainties.

Non-GAAP Measures

We refer to certain financial measures and statistics that are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We utilize these non-GAAP measures in order to evaluate the underlying factors that affect our business performance and trends. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or as a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We have defined and provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP measure used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis is as follows:

Same Clinic Revenues Per Day - measures the year-over-year change in revenue from clinics that have been open a full calendar year or more. Examples of clinics not included in the same center population are closures and acquisitions. Day-adjusted growth normalizes sales for the number of days a clinic was open in each comparable period.

Business Overview

General

We are a leading national provider of products and services that assist in enhancing or restoring the physical capabilities of patients with disabilities or injuries, and we and our predecessor companies have provided O&P services for nearly 160 years. We provide O&P services, distribute O&P devices and components, manage O&P networks, and provide therapeutic solutions to patients and businesses in acute, post-acute, and clinic settings. We operate through two segments - Patient Care and Products & Services.

Our Patient Care segment is primarily comprised of Hanger Clinic, which specializes in the design, fabrication, and delivery of custom O&P devices through 704 patient care clinics and 110 satellite locations in 46 states and the District of Columbia as of September 30, 2020. We also provide payor network contracting services to other O&P providers through this segment.

Our Products & Services segment is comprised of our distribution services and our therapeutic solutions businesses. As a leading provider of O&P products in the United States, we engage in the distribution of a broad catalog of O&P parts, componentry, and devices to independent O&P providers nationwide. The other business in our Products & Services segment is our therapeutic solutions business, which develops specialized rehabilitation technologies and provides evidence-based clinical programs for post-acute rehabilitation to patients at approximately 4,000 skilled nursing and post-acute providers nationwide.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, our net revenues were $256.6 million and $723.8 million, respectively, and we recorded net income of $6.8 million and $22.1 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, our net revenues were $279.6 million and $797.2 million, respectively, and we recorded net income of $5.7 million and $8.8 million, respectively.

Industry Overview

We estimate that approximately $4.3 billion is spent in the United States each year for prescription-based O&P products and services through O&P clinics. We believe our Patient Care segment currently accounts for approximately 21% of the market, providing a comprehensive portfolio of orthotic, prosthetic, and post-operative solutions to patients in acute, post-acute, and patient care clinic settings.

The O&P patient care services market is highly fragmented and is characterized by regional and local independent O&P businesses operated predominantly by independent operators, but also including two O&P product manufacturers with international patient care services operations. We do not believe that any single competitor accounts for more than approximately 2% of the nation’s total estimated O&P clinic revenues.

The industry is characterized by stable, recurring revenues, primarily resulting from new patients as well as the need for periodic replacement and modification of O&P devices. We anticipate that the demand for O&P services will continue to grow as the nation’s population increases, and as a result of several trends, including the aging of the U.S. population, there will be an increase in the prevalence of disease-related disability and the demand for new and advanced devices. We believe the typical replacement time for prosthetic devices is three to five years, while the typical replacement time for orthotic devices varies, depending on the device.

We estimate that approximately $1.7 billion is spent in the United States each year by providers of O&P patient care services for the O&P products, components, devices, and supplies used in their businesses. Our Products & Services segment distributes to independent providers of O&P services and supplies our own patient care clinics. We estimate that our distribution sales account for approximately 8% of the market for O&P products, components, devices, and supplies (excluding sales to our Patient Care segment).

We estimate the market for rehabilitation technologies, integrated clinical programs, and clinician training in skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) to be approximately $150 million annually. We currently provide these products and services to approximately 25% of the estimated 15,000 SNFs located in the U.S. We estimate the market for rehabilitation technologies, clinical programs, and training within the broader post-acute rehabilitation markets to be approximately $400 million annually. We do not currently provide a meaningful amount of products and services to this broader market.

Business Description

Patient Care

Our Patient Care segment employs approximately 1,600 clinical prosthetists, orthotists, and pedorthists, which we refer to as clinicians, substantially all of which are certified by either the American Board for Certification or the Board of Certification of Orthotists and Prosthetists, which are the two boards that certify O&P clinicians. To facilitate timely service to our patients, we also employ technicians, fitters, and other ancillary providers to assist our clinicians in the performance of their duties. Through this segment, we additionally provide network contracting services to independent providers of O&P.

Patients are typically referred to Hanger Clinic by an attending physician who determines a patient’s treatment and writes a prescription. Our clinicians then consult with both the referring physician and the patient with a view toward assisting in the selection of an orthotic or prosthetic device to meet the patient’s needs. O&P devices are increasingly technologically advanced and custom designed to add functionality and comfort to patients’ lives, shorten the rehabilitation process, and lower the cost of rehabilitation.

Based on the prescription written by a referring physician, our clinicians examine and evaluate the patient and either design a custom device or, in the case of certain orthotic needs, utilize a non-custom device, including, in appropriate circumstances, an “off the shelf” device, to address the patient’s needs. When fabricating a device, our clinicians ascertain the specific requirements, componentry, and measurements necessary for the construction of the device. Custom devices are constructed using componentry provided by a variety of third party manufacturers who specialize in O&P, coupled with sockets and other elements that are fabricated by our clinicians and technicians, to meet the individual patient’s physical and ambulatory needs. Our clinicians and technicians typically utilize castings, electronic scans, and other techniques to fabricate items that are specialized for the patient. After fabricating the device, a fitting process is undertaken and adjustments are made to ensure the achievement of proper alignment, fit, and patient comfort. The fitting process often involves several stages to successfully achieve desired functional and cosmetic results.

Given the differing physical weight and size characteristics, location of injury or amputation, capability for physical activity and mobility, cosmetic, and other needs of each individual patient, each fabricated prosthesis and orthosis is customized for each particular patient. These custom devices are commonly fabricated at one of our regional or national fabrication facilities.

We have earned a reputation within the O&P industry for the development and use of innovative technology in our products, which has increased patient comfort and capability and can significantly enhance the rehabilitation process. Frequently, our proprietary Insignia scanning system is used in the fabrication process. The Insignia system scans the patient and produces an accurate computer-generated image, resulting in a faster turnaround for the patient’s device and a more professional overall experience.

In recent years, we have established a centralized revenue cycle management organization that assists our clinics in pre-authorization, patient eligibility, denial management, collections, payor audit coordination, and other accounts receivable processes.

The principal reimbursement sources for our services are:

●

Commercial private payors and other non-governmental organizations, which consist of individuals, rehabilitation providers, commercial insurance companies, HMOs, PPOs, hospitals, vocational rehabilitation centers, workers’ compensation programs, third party administrators, and similar sources;

●

Medicare, a federally funded health insurance program providing health insurance coverage for persons aged 65 or older and certain persons with disabilities;

●

the VA.

Table of Contents

We typically enter into contracts with third party payors that allow us to perform O&P services for a referred patient and to be reimbursed for our services. These contracts usually have a stated term of one to three years and generally may be terminated without cause by either party on 60 to 90 days’ notice, or on 30 days’ notice if we have not complied with certain licensing, certification, program standards, Medicare or Medicaid requirements, or other regulatory requirements. Reimbursement for services is typically based on a fee schedule negotiated with the third party payor that reflects various factors, including market conditions, geographic area, and number of persons covered. Many of our commercial contracts are indexed to the commensurate Medicare fee schedule that relates to the products or services being provided.

Government reimbursement is comprised of Medicare, Medicaid, and the VA. These payors set maximum reimbursement levels for O&P services and products. Medicare prices are adjusted each year based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”) unless Congress acts to change or eliminate the adjustment. The CPI-U is adjusted further by an efficiency factor known as the “Productivity Adjustment” or the “Multi-Factor Productivity Adjustment” in order to determine the final rate adjustment each year. There can be no assurance that future adjustments will not reduce reimbursements for O&P services and products from these sources.

We, and the O&P industry in general, are subject to various Medicare compliance audits, including Recovery Audit Contractor (“RAC”) audits, Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (“CERT”) audits, Targeted Probe and Educate (“TPE”) audits, Zone Program Integrity Contractor (“ZPIC”) audits, Supplemental Medical Review Contractor (“SMRC”) audits, and Universal Payment Identification Code (“UPIC”) audits. TPE audits are generally pre-payment audits, while RAC, CERT, ZPIC, and SMRC audits are generally post-payment audits. UPIC audits can be both pre- or post-payment audits, with a majority currently being pre-payment. TPE audits replaced the previous Medicare Administrative Contractor audits. Adverse post-payment audit determinations generally require Hanger to reimburse Medicare for payments previously made, while adverse pre-payment audit determinations generally result in the denial of payment. In either case, we can request a redetermination or appeal, if we believe the adverse determination is unwarranted, which can take an extensive period of time to resolve, currently up to six years or more.

Products & Services

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Prosthetic Supply, Inc. (“SPS”), we distribute O&P components to independent O&P clinics and other customers. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Accelerated Care Plus Corp., our therapeutic solutions business is a leading provider of rehabilitation technologies and integrated clinical programs to skilled nursing and post-acute rehabilitation providers. Our value proposition is to provide our customers with a full-service “total solutions” approach encompassing proven medical technology, evidence-based clinical programs, and ongoing consultative education and training. Our services support increasingly advanced treatment options for a broader patient population and more medically complex conditions. We currently serve approximately 4,000 skilled nursing and post-acute providers nationwide. Through our SureFit subsidiary, we also manufacture and sell therapeutic footwear for diabetic patients in the podiatric market. We also operate the Hanger Fabrication Network, which fabricates custom O&P devices for our patient care clinics, as well as for independent O&P clinics.

Through our internal “supply chain” organization, we purchase, warehouse, and distribute over 450,000 SKUs from more than 300 different manufacturers through SPS or directly to our own clinics within our Patient Care segment. Our warehousing and distribution facilities in Nevada, Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania (ceased operations as of September 30, 2020), and Texas provide us with the ability to deliver products to the vast majority of our customers in the United States within two business days.

Our supply chain organization enables us to:

●

centralize our purchasing and thus lower our material costs by negotiating purchasing discounts from manufacturers;

●

better manage our patient care clinic inventory levels and improve inventory turns;

●

improve inventory quality control;

●

encourage our patient care clinics to use the most clinically appropriate products; and

●

coordinate new product development efforts with key vendors.

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Beginning in the last weeks of March 2020, our business volumes began to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As federal, state, and local authorities implemented social distancing and suppression measures to respond to an increasing number of nationwide COVID-19 infections, we experienced a decrease in our patient appointments and general business volumes. In response, during the last week of March 2020, we made certain changes to our operations, implemented a broad number of cost reduction measures, and delayed certain capital investment projects. Although our business volumes have shown gradual improvement from their initial significant decline, the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business has continued through the third quarter and into the fourth quarter. These volume effects and our operating responses are discussed further in this section, and the effects of COVID-19 on our financial condition is discussed in the “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below.

Effect on Business Volumes

During the months of July, August and September 2020, patient appointments in our Patient Care Clinics declined by approximately 18%, 17%, and 13%, respectively, as compared with the same period in 2019. This constituted an approximate average decrease of 16% in patient appointments during the three months ended September 30, 2020. During the quarter, we experienced a relatively lower decline in prosthetic patient volumes as compared with orthotic patient volumes, although our orthotic volumes did improve as compared to the second quarter. Given the higher relative price of prosthetic devices that resulted in a more favorable product mix, same-clinic revenues within our Patient Care segment declined at a lower rate than patient appointments, reflecting a decrease of 10.3%, on a per day basis, as compared with the comparable period last year. As of the end of September 2020, we had temporarily closed 22 patient care clinics and another 84 clinics were open for reduced hours or by appointment only. We believe the generally more acute nature of conditions that lead to the need for prosthetics, the patient age demographics and the relatively greater impact that the absence of access to these devices can have on a patient’s daily life were the primary reasons that led to the relatively lower decline in prosthetic patients as compared with orthotic patients in our Patient Care Segment during the period. Billings for componentry delivered to independent providers of orthotics and prosthetics by our distribution services business decreased by approximately 10% during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. Our business volumes associated with therapeutic solutions have also been adversely affected due to access restrictions our skilled nursing facility clients have implemented at their facilities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to significant geographic product mix and timing differences, there can be no assurance that these volumes or billing amounts will be reflective of our future results and are solely provided for the purposes of giving context to the magnitude of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business during the third quarter.

Given that the development of a clearly effective medical treatment approach for treating COVID-19 does not appear imminent and that the vast majority of the general population of the United States has not developed natural immunity, we believe that the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to affect our business volumes for the duration of 2020, and likely into 2021. These adverse effects will primarily be the result of anticipated continuing governmental measures to suppress the virus to address periods and locations of virus re-emergence, the adverse economic consequences to our patients, and the general lack of normalcy in the willingness of individuals to engage in activities that might increase their likelihood of their exposure to the virus.

Nevertheless, we do believe that the overall adverse impact will diminish over time, and that our patient appointment and other business volumes will gradually improve as the prevalence of the virus decreases and social distancing, masking and testing measures become more routine, and the perception of infection risks subside. Additionally, we believe that if a patient is initially unable or unwilling to come to one of our clinics to receive their prosthetic or orthotic device then their ultimate need for that device is not likely to change, and that we could accordingly have some favorable volume recovery effect in future periods as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

Operating and Cost Reduction Responses

Throughout the periods affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, given that our services are considered essential, we have continued to operate our businesses. However, due to the risks posed to our clinicians, other employees, and patients, we have made certain changes to our operating practices in order to promote safety and to minimize the risk of virus transmission. These have included the implementation of certain patient screening protocols and the relocation of certain administrative and support personnel to a “work at home” environment. We have also changed the operating days and hours of certain of our clinics to adapt to changes in patient volumes.

Table of Contents

Normally, only our material costs and portions of our incentive compensation expenses vary directly with changes in our business volumes from one period to the next. This has been due in part to our historical practice of maintaining full-time staffing levels for clinicians and non-exempt employees in our clinic and support operations. This operating practice has been necessitated by our desire to provide high levels of accessibility and service to our patients.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have found it necessary to reduce our personnel costs in response to significant decreases in business volumes. Commencing at the start of April 2020, personnel cost reductions were implemented through (i) an average 32% decrease in the salaries of all of our exempt employees, the percentage of which varies to lower amounts for lower salaried employees up to reduction amounts ranging from 47% to 100% for our senior leadership team; (ii) the furloughing of certain employees on a voluntary and involuntary basis; (iii) the reduction of work hours for non-exempt employees; (iv) modification of bonus, commission, and other variable incentive plans; (v) the reduction of overtime expenses; (vi) the elimination of certain open positions; (vii) a reduction in the use of contract employees, and (viii) the temporary suspension of certain auto allowances. We communicated to our employees that reductions of exempt employee salaries could continue for up to a six month period ending on October 2, 2020 of this year (the “Reduction Period”). Due to the trends in our business volumes discussed in the Effect on Business Volumes section, on June 8, 2020, we announced we had reinstated a portion of the salary reduction for our exempt employees. Effective July 11, 2020, we reinstated an additional portion of the salary reduction for our exempt employees, resulting in an average 11% decrease in salaries for the remainder of the Reduction Period and, finally, effective September 19, 2020, we reinstated the remainder of the salary reduction for our exempt employees. Throughout the Reduction Period, the salary reductions of our senior leadership team ranged from 15% to 100%, depending on the individual, and prior to the full reinstatement of all exempt employees' salaries in September 2020. Our decision to reduce employee wages rather than to implement a more permanent reduction in force was based on our preference to collectively share in the financial hardships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic rather than to subject portions of our workforce to the full financial burden. Additionally, this approach has allowed us to retain as many employees as possible to preserve the experience, culture, and patient service capabilities of our workforce for periods subsequent to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have not implemented changes to employee benefits, nor do we currently intend to suspend our annual employer 401(k) match for 2020, which we would typically expect to pay in March of 2021.

We have undertaken other reductions to our other operating expenses. However, our largest category of operating expense, rent, utilities, and facilities maintenance, which amounted to $17.0 million and $49.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, has proven difficult to meaningfully reduce in the short term.

Excluding reductions in componentry costs, which varied in a corresponding fashion with decreases in revenue, these cost reduction measures provided savings in the approximate amount of $16 million in operating expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2020. We believe these expense reductions are temporary in nature, and are not sustainable during periods of normal operation. Due to the fact that as of September 2020, we have reinstated the salary reductions and reduced the number of employees on furlough, our personnel costs will increase to normal levels in the fourth quarter of 2020.

In addition to these reductions in operating expenses, we have elected to temporarily delay the implementation of our supply chain and financial systems, further discussed in the “New Systems Implementations” section. We have not established a date for recommencement of this systems initiative, but currently believe it is likely that the project will not recommence until at least early 2021. We have also suspended construction of our new fabrication facility in Tempe, Arizona, and other projects related to the reconfiguration of our distribution facilities. These actions will correspondingly delay our achievement of the financial benefits expected from them into future periods.

We believe these and other related measures will reduce our capital expenditures for the full year, which are comprised of purchases of property, plant and equipment, as well as therapeutic program equipment, to the approximate range of $30 million to $35 million, which compares to the approximately $45 million we originally planned to expend in 2020.

While we have endeavored to rapidly reduce our expenses in response to decreases in patient and business volumes, given that a substantial portion of our operating expenses are nevertheless fixed in nature, and the ongoing interest costs associated with our indebtedness, we do not currently believe we will fully offset the adverse earnings effect associated with lost revenue during the remainder of 2020. Nevertheless, as discussed in the “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below, we do believe that our operating expense and capital project reductions, when accompanied by additional cash sources, cost mitigation and liquidity management strategies, will enable us to maintain positive liquidity throughout the remainder of 2020 and the foreseeable future.

CARES Act

The CARES Act established the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund, also referred to as the Cares Act Provider Relief Fund, which set aside $175.0 billion to be administered through grants and other mechanisms to hospitals, public entities, not-for-profit entities and Medicare- and Medicaid- enrolled suppliers and institutional providers. The purpose of these funds is to reimburse providers for lost revenue attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as lost revenues attributable to canceled procedures, as well as to provide support for health-care related expenses. In April 2020, HHS began making payments to healthcare providers from the $175.0 billion appropriation. These are payments, rather than loans, to healthcare providers, and will not need to be repaid.

Other Products & Services Performance Considerations

As discussed in our 2019 Form 10-K, under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, several of the larger independent O&P providers we served through the distribution of componentry encountered financial difficulties during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 which resulted in our discontinuing distribution services to these customers. Generally, we believe our distribution customers encounter reimbursement pressures similar to those we experience in our own Patient Care segment and, depending on their ability to adapt to the increased claims documentation standards that have emerged in our industry, this may either limit the rate of growth of some of our customers, or otherwise affect the rate of growth we experience in our distribution of O&P componentry to independent providers. During future periods, in addition to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic discussed above, we currently believe our rate of revenue growth in this segment may decrease as we choose to limit the extent to which we distribute certain low margin orthotic products. Additionally, to the extent that we acquire independent O&P providers who are pre-existing customers of our distribution services, our revenue growth in this segment would be adversely affected as we would no longer recognize external revenue from the components we provide them.

Within our Products & Services segment, in addition to our distribution of products, we provide therapeutic equipment and services to patients at SNFs and other healthcare provider locations. Since 2016, a number of our clients, including several of our larger SNF clients, have been discontinuing their use of our therapeutic services. We believe these discontinuances relate primarily to their overall efforts to reduce the costs they bear for therapy-related services within their facilities. As a part of those terminations of service, in a number of cases, we elected to sell terminating clients the equipment that we had utilized for their locations. Within this portion of our business, we have and continue to respond to these historical trends through the expansion of our products and services offerings.

Reimbursement Trends

In our Patient Care segment, we are reimbursed primarily through employer-based plans offered by commercial insurance carriers, Medicare, Medicaid, and the VA. The following is a summary of our payor mix, expressed as an approximate percentage of net revenues for the periods indicated:


	For the Three Months Ended				For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Medicare	32.0	%	31.6	%	32.4	%	31.6	%
Medicaid	16.2	%	15.6	%	16.1	%	15.9	%
Commercial Insurance / Managed Care (excluding Medicare and Medicaid Managed Care)	35.7	%	36.1	%	35.6	%	35.6	%
Veterans Administration	9.1	%	10.3	%	9.0	%	9.9	%
Private Pay	7.0	%	6.4	%	6.9	%	7.0	%
Patient Care	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

Patient Care constituted 82.9% and 82.7% of our net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 82.6% and 81.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Our remaining net revenues were provided by our Products & Services segment, which derives its net revenues from commercial transactions with independent O&P providers, healthcare facilities, and other customers. In contrast to net revenues from our Patient Care segment, payment for these products and services are not directly subject to third party reimbursement from health care payors.

The amount of our reimbursement varies based on the nature of the O&P device we fabricate for our patients. Given the particular physical weight and size characteristics, location of injury or amputation, capability for physical activity, and mobility, cosmetic, and other needs of each individual patient, each fabricated prostheses and orthoses is customized for each particular patient. The nature of this customization and the manner by which our claims submissions are reviewed by payors makes our reimbursement process administratively difficult.

To receive reimbursement for our work, we must ensure that our clinical, administrative, and billing personnel receive and verify certain medical and health plan information, record detailed documentation regarding the services we provide, and accurately and timely perform a number of claims submission and related administrative tasks. It is our belief the increased nationwide efforts to reduce health care costs has driven changes in industry trends with increases in payor pre-authorization processes, documentation requirements, pre-payment reviews, and pre- and post-payment audits, and our ability to successfully undertake these tasks using our traditional approach has become increasingly challenging. We believe these changes in industry trends have been brought about in part by increased nationwide efforts to reduce health care costs.

A measure of our effectiveness in securing reimbursement for our services can be found in the degree to which payors ultimately disallow payment of our claims. Payors can deny claims due to their determination that a physician who referred a patient to us did not sufficiently document that a device was medically necessary or clearly establish the ambulatory, or activity, level of a patient. Claims can also be denied based on our failure to ensure that a patient was currently eligible under a payor’s health plan, that the plan provides full O&P benefits, that we received prior authorization, or that we filed or appealed the payor’s determination timely, as well as on the basis of our coding, failure by certain classes of patients to pay their portion of a claim, or for various other reasons. If any portion of, or administrative factor within, our claim is found by the payor to be lacking, then the entirety of the claim amount may be denied reimbursement.

Commencing in late 2014 and continuing through today, we have taken a number of actions to manage disallowed revenue trends. These initiatives included: (i) the creation of a central revenue cycle management function; (ii) the resolution of issues identified in our patient management and electronic health record system; and (iii) the establishment of new clinic-level procedures and training regarding the collection of supporting documentation and the importance of diligence in our claims submission processes.

Disallowed revenue is considered an adjustment to the transaction price. Estimated uncollectible amounts due to us by patients are generally considered implicit price concessions and are presented as a reduction of net revenues. These amounts recorded in net revenues within the Patient Care segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

Acquisitions

During 2019, we completed the following acquisitions of O&P clinics, none of which were individually material to our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows:

Table of Contents

In fourth quarter of 2019, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding equity interests of one O&P business and acquired the assets of another O&P business for total consideration of $7.8 million, of which $5.0 million was cash consideration, net of cash acquired, and $2.8 million was issued in the form of notes to shareholders at fair value.

Acquisition-related costs are included in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Total acquisition-related costs incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, which includes those costs for transactions that are in progress or not completed during the respective period. Acquisition-related costs incurred for acquisitions completed during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 were $0.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Total acquisition-related costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2019 were $1.5 million, which includes those costs for transactions that are in progress or not completed during the respective period. Acquisition-related costs incurred for acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2019 were $1.0 million.

In response to the expected economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented certain cost mitigation and liquidity management strategies, including the temporary delay of our acquisitions of O&P providers, subject to certain conditions and thresholds in the first amendment to our Credit Agreement entered into in May 2020, except that certain acquisitions are permitted after September 30, 2020, in the event we maintain certain leverage and liquidity thresholds. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we recommenced our acquisition of O&P providers. Refer to the “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for additional discussion.

New Systems Implementations

During 2019, we commenced the design, planning, and initial implementation of new financial and supply chain systems (“New Systems Implementations”), and planned to invest in new servers and software that operate as a part of our technology infrastructure. In connection with our new financial and supply chain systems, for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2020, we have expensed $0.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and for the year ended December 31, 2019, we expensed $2.9 million. We currently anticipate that we will spend $2.7 million for the full year 2020 on these systems.

As discussed in the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section, we have elected to temporarily delay our New Systems Implementations as part of our efforts to preserve liquidity. We have not set a date for recommencement of these systems initiatives, but currently believe it likely that the project will not recommence until at least early next year. This delay will correspondingly push our achievement of the financial benefits expected from the New Systems Implementations into subsequent periods.

As of September 30, 2020, we capitalized $4.9 million of implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements, net of accumulated amortization, and recorded in other current assets and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Effect of Delay in Financial Filings

As discussed in our 2019 Form 10-K, due to prior restatements and related issues, we were delayed in the preparation and filing of our financial statements in recent years. In connection with our efforts to restate our prior financial statements, remediate our material weaknesses, regain our timely filing status, and undertake related activities, we incurred third party professional fees in excess of the amounts we estimate that we would have otherwise incurred. The estimated professional fees associated with these efforts are as follows (in thousands):


					Balance to be Paid
For the Three Months Ended	Expensed		Paid		in Future Periods
March 31, 2019	$	1,649	$	(2,621)	$	2,223
June 30, 2019		1,745		(2,016)		1,952
September 30, 2019		2,136		(2,168)		1,920
December 31, 2019		3,018		(2,451)		2,487
March 31, 2020		1,639		(2,819)		1,307
June 30, 2020		—		(1,307)		—

Table of Contents

During the first quarter of 2020, we incurred approximately $1.6 million in excess professional fees in connection with the completion of our remediation activities related to our material weaknesses. Given that we completed the remediation of our material weaknesses in financial statement controls effective with the filing of our 2019 Form 10-K, we do not currently anticipate that we will incur further excess third party professional fees for these purposes in future periods.

Seasonality

We believe our business is affected by the degree to which patients have otherwise met the deductibles for which they are responsible in their medical plans during the course of the year. The first quarter is normally our lowest relative net revenue quarter, followed by the second and third quarters, which are somewhat higher and consistent with one another. Due to the general fulfillment by patients of their health plan co-payments and deductible requirements towards year’s end, our fourth quarter is normally our highest revenue producing quarter. However, historical seasonality may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and historical seasonal patterns may not be reflective of our prospective financial results and operations for the remainder of 2020. Please refer to the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section for further discussion.

Our results are also affected, to a lesser extent, by our holding of an education fair in the first quarter of each year. This event is conducted to assist our clinicians in maintaining their training and certification requirements and to facilitate a national meeting with our clinical leaders. We also invite manufacturers of the componentry for the devices we fabricate to these annual events so they can demonstrate their products and otherwise assist in our training process. During the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, we spent approximately $2.3 million in each of these two years, on travel and other costs associated with this event. In addition to the costs we incur associated with this annual event, we also lose the productivity of a significant portion of our clinicians during the period in which this event occurs, which contributes to the lower seasonal revenue level we experience during the first quarter of each year.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our analysis and discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. GAAP provides the framework from which to make these estimates, assumptions, and disclosures. We have chosen accounting policies within GAAP that management believes are appropriate to fairly present, in all material respects, our operating results, and financial position. We believe the following accounting policies are critical to understanding our results of operations and the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

●

Revenue recognition

●

Accounts receivable, net

●

Inventories

●

Business combinations

●

Goodwill and other intangible assets, net

●

Income taxes

The use of different estimates, assumptions, or judgments could have a material effect on reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures as of the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. These critical accounting policies are described in more detail in our 2019 Form 10-K, under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in Note A - “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” contained within these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

Relevance of Third Quarter Results to Comparative and Future Periods. As discussed in “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” above, commencing late in the first quarter, our revenues and operating results began to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, a trend which continued through September 2020 and into the fourth quarter. The effects of this public health emergency on our revenues and earnings in the three months ended September 30, 2020 impacted the comparison to our historical financial results. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the future economic and social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, such comparison may not be indicative of future results. Please refer to the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above and the “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below for additional forward-looking information concerning our current expectations regarding the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our prospective results and financial condition.

Net revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $256.6 million, a decrease of $23.0 million, or 8.2%, from $279.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Net revenues by operating segment, after elimination of intersegment activity, were as follows:


		For the Three Months Ended
	September 30,						Percent
(dollars in thousands)	2020		2019		Change		Change
Patient Care	$	212,664	$	230,931	$	(18,267)	(7.9)	%
Products & Services		43,973		48,707		(4,734)	(9.7)	%
Net revenues	$	256,637	$	279,638	$	(23,001)	(8.2)	%

Patient Care net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $212.7 million, a decrease of $18.3 million, or 7.9%, from $230.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Same clinic revenues decreased $22.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting a decrease of 10.3% on a per-day basis. Net revenues from acquired clinics and consolidations increased $4.4 million, and revenues from other services decreased $0.2 million.

Prosthetics constituted approximately 56% of our total Patient Care revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 55% for the same period in 2019, excluding the impact of acquisitions. Prosthetic revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were 8.9% lower, on a per-day basis, than the same period in the prior year, excluding the impact of acquisitions. Orthotics, shoes, inserts, and other products decreased by 11.8% on a per-day basis compared to the same comparative prior periods, excluding the impact of acquisitions. Revenues were adversely affected during the period due to a decline in patient appointment volumes beginning in the last weeks of March and continuing through the third quarter of 2020 as a result of the continuing spread of COVID-19 viral infections, governmental suppression measures implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and other factors impacting our business volumes discussed in the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section.

Products & Services net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $44.0 million, a decrease of $4.7 million, or 9.7% from the same period in the prior year. This was primarily attributable to a decrease of $3.9 million, or 10.8%, in the distribution of O&P componentry to independent providers stemming from lower volumes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as discussed in the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above, and to a lesser extent from a change in the business mix. In addition, net revenues from therapeutic solutions decreased $0.8 million, or 6.6%, primarily as a result of the impact of historical customer lease cancellations, partially offset by lease installations in the third quarter of 2020.

Beginning in the latter half of March 2020 and continuing throughout the third quarter of 2020, our business volumes were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that the decline in net revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to the continuing spread of COVID-19 viral infections, state and local government restrictions, social distancing and suppression measures adopted by our patients and customers, and the deferral of elective surgical procedures, all of which we believe to have contributed to a decline in physician referrals and patient appointments. These adverse volume effects continued throughout the third quarter of 2020. For additional discussion, refer to the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section.

Material costs. Material costs for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $81.5 million, a decrease of $10.6 million or 11.5%, from the same period in the prior year. Total material costs as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 31.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 from 32.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to changes in our Product & Services segment business and product mix. Material costs by operating segment, after elimination of intersegment activity, were as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended
	September 30,						Percent
(dollars in thousands)	2020		2019		Change		Change
Patient Care	$	63,938	$	71,339	$	(7,401)	(10.4)	%
Products & Services		17,524		20,695		(3,171)	(15.3)	%
Material costs	$	81,462	$	92,034	$	(10,572)	(11.5)	%

Patient Care material costs decreased $7.4 million, or 10.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of the reduction in segment net sales, offset by our acquisitions and changes in the segment product mix. Patient Care material costs as a percent of segment net revenues decreased to 30.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from 30.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Products & Services material costs decreased $3.2 million, or 15.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year. As a percent of net revenues in the Products & Services segment, material costs were 39.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to 42.5% in the same period of 2019. The decrease in material as a percent of segment net revenues was due to a change in business and product mix within the segment.

Personnel costs. Personnel costs for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $89.7 million, a decrease of $4.9 million, or 5.1%, from $94.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Personnel costs by operating segment were as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended
	September 30,						Percent
(dollars in thousands)	2020		2019		Change		Change
Patient Care	$	76,989	$	81,274	$	(4,285)	(5.3)	%
Products & Services		12,738		13,320		(582)	(4.4)	%
Personnel costs	$	89,727	$	94,594	$	(4,867)	(5.1)	%

Personnel costs for the Patient Care segment were $77.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $4.3 million, or 5.3%, from $81.3 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in Patient Care personnel costs during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily related to a decrease in salary expense of $7.2 million due to cost mitigation efforts implemented as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, payroll taxes of $0.2 million, and commissions of $0.1 million, offset by increases in incentive compensation and benefits of $2.2 million and severance costs of $1.0 million, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Personnel costs in the Products & Services segment were $12.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $0.6 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Salary expense decreased $0.8 million due to cost mitigation efforts implemented as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, offset by bonus, commissions, and other personnel cost increases of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Other operating costs. Other operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $29.9 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 8.7%, from $32.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Travel and other expenses decreased $3.4 million due to cost mitigation efforts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and bad debt expense decreased $0.4 million primarily due to a moderation of forecast assumptions used in the estimate. The decreases were offset by a $1.0 million increase in rent expense from new, renewed, and acquired leases as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $31.4 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 5.2%, from the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to $2.5 million of qualified disaster relief payments to employees, additional severance costs of $1.9 million, and increases in other personnel-related costs of $1.2 million, offset by decreases in salary expense of $2.1 million and other expenses of $2.0 million, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Professional accounting and legal fees. Professional accounting and legal fees for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $2.3 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 37.6%, from $3.6 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to targeted efforts to remediate material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2019 that did not recur in the same period of 2020.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $8.8 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 6.1%, from the same period in the prior year. Depreciation expense decreased $0.8 million and amortization expense increased $0.2 million when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased 10.5% to $8.0 million from $9.0 million for the same period in the prior year.

(Benefit) provision for income taxes. The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $1.9 million, or -39.0% of income before income taxes, compared to a provision of $2.6 million, or 31.2% of income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 consisted principally of the 21% federal statutory tax rate, the tax benefit from the loss carryback claim, the rate impact from state income taxes, and permanent tax differences. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily attributable to the tax benefit from the loss carryback claim to a prior period with a higher statutory rate granted under the CARES Act.

We evaluate our deferred tax assets quarterly to determine whether adjustments to the valuation allowance are appropriate in light of changes in facts or circumstances, such as changes in expected future pre-tax earnings, tax law, interactions with taxing authorities, and developments in case law. Our material assumptions include forecasts of future pre-tax earnings and the nature and timing of future deductions and income represented by the deferred tax assets and liabilities, all of which involve the exercise of significant judgment. As of September 30, 2020, our valuation allowance was approximately $2.1 million.

The CARES Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020, includes changes to certain tax laws related to the deductibility of interest expense and depreciation. ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. As a result of the CARES Act provisions, in the third quarter of 2020 we recognized a tax benefit of $4.0 million resulting from the loss carryback claim to a prior period with a higher statutory rate, which also decreased our current income taxes payable by $9.5 million as of September 30, 2020.

Prosthetics constituted approximately 56% of our total Patient Care revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 54% for the same period in 2019, excluding the impact of acquisitions. Prosthetic revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were 6.6% lower, on a per-day basis, than the same period in the prior year, excluding the impact of acquisitions. Orthotics, shoes, inserts, and other products decreased by 16.3% on a per-day basis compared to the same comparative prior periods, excluding the impact of acquisitions. Revenues were adversely affected during the period due to a decline in patient appointment volumes beginning in the last weeks of March and continuing through the third quarter of 2020 as a result of the continuing spread of COVID-19 viral infections, governmental suppression measures implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and other factors impacting our business volumes discussed in the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section.

Products & Services net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $125.1 million, a decrease of $19.4 million, or 13.4% from the same period in the prior year. This was primarily attributable to a decrease of $16.6 million, or 15.4%, in the distribution of O&P componentry to independent providers stemming from lower volumes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as discussed in the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above, and a $2.8 million, or 7.5%, decrease in net revenues from therapeutic solutions as a result of the impact of historical customer lease cancellations, partially offset by lease installations.

Beginning in the latter half of March 2020, our business volumes began to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and business volumes were adversely impacted throughout the second and third quarter of 2020. We believe that the decline in net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to the continuing spread of COVID-19 viral infections, state and local government restrictions, social distancing and suppression measures adopted by our patients and customers, and deferral of elective surgical procedures, all of which resulted in a decline in physician referrals and patient appointments. These adverse volume effects have continued into October 2020. For additional discussion, refer to the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section.

Material costs. Material costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $228.7 million, a decrease of $33.1 million or 12.7%, from the same period in the prior year. Total material costs as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 31.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 32.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to changes in our Product & Services segment business and product mix. Material costs by operating segment, after elimination of intersegment activity, were as follows:


	For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						Percent
(dollars in thousands)	2020		2019		Change		Change
Patient Care	$	178,851	$	199,626	$	(20,775)	(10.4)	%
Products & Services		49,824		62,184		(12,360)	(19.9)	%
Material costs	$	228,675	$	261,810	$	(33,135)	(12.7)	%

Patient Care material costs decreased $20.8 million, or 10.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of the reduction in segment net sales, offset by our acquisitions and changes in the segment product mix. Patient Care material costs as a percent of segment net revenues increased to 29.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from 30.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Table of Contents

Products & Services material costs decreased $12.4 million, or 19.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year. As a percent of net revenues in the Products & Services segment, material costs were 39.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to 43.0% in the same period of 2019. The decrease in material as a percent of segment net revenues was due to a change in business and product mix within the segment.

Personnel costs. Personnel costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $252.7 million, a decrease of $20.1 million, or 7.4%, from $272.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Personnel costs by operating segment were as follows:


	For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						Percent
(dollars in thousands)	2020		2019		Change		Change
Patient Care	$	216,910	$	233,402	$	(16,492)	(7.1)	%
Products & Services		35,824		39,393		(3,569)	(9.1)	%
Personnel costs	$	252,734	$	272,795	$	(20,061)	(7.4)	%

Personnel costs for the Patient Care segment were $216.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $16.5 million, or 7.1%, from $233.4 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in Patient Care personnel costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily related to a decrease in salary expense of $20.7 million due to cost mitigation efforts implemented as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a decrease in benefits costs of $1.7 million due to reduced claims experience, payroll taxes of $0.9 million, and commissions by $0.3 million, offset by increases in incentive compensation and other personnel costs of $6.1 million and severance costs of $1.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Personnel costs in the Products & Services segment were $35.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $3.6 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Salary expense decreased $3.5 million due to cost mitigation efforts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and bonus, commissions, and other personnel costs decreased $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Other operating costs. Other operating costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $74.1 million, a decrease of $26.0 million, or 26.0%, from $100.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Other expenses decreased by $20.3 million due to the benefit associated with the recognition of $20.6 million in proceeds from Grants under the CARES Act included in Other operating costs, as discussed in the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section. Travel and other expenses decreased $9.0 million due to cost mitigation efforts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decreases are offset by a $3.0 million increase in rent expense from new, renewed, and acquired leases and a $0.3 million increase in bad debt expense as compared to the same period in the prior year.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $91.6 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 4.7%, from the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in share-based compensation of $4.9 million, due to the modification recognized in the second quarter of certain equity awards granted in 2017, and from an increase of $4.5 million in incentive compensation and other personnel-related costs, $2.5 million of qualified disaster relief payments to employees, and additional severance costs of $1.9 million, offset by decreases in salary expense of $5.6 million and other expenses of $4.1 million.

Professional accounting and legal fees. Professional accounting and legal fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $7.4 million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 22.6%, from $9.6 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to targeted efforts to remediate material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 that did not recur in the same period of 2020.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $26.5 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 1.5%, from the same period in the prior year. Depreciation expense decreased $1.5 million and amortization expense increased $1.1 million when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased 4.1% to $24.9 million from $26.0 million for the same period in the prior year.

(Benefit) provision for income taxes. The benefit for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $4.8 million, or -27.3% of income before income taxes, compared to a provision of $3.3 million, or 27.1% of income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The effective tax rate in 2020 consisted principally of the 21% federal statutory tax rate, the recognition of research and development tax credits, the tax benefit from the loss carryback claim, the rate impact from state income taxes, the shortfall from share-based compensation, and permanent tax differences. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily attributable to the recognition of research and development tax credits for the current and prior years and a tax benefit from the loss carryback claim to a prior period with a higher statutory rate granted under the CARES Act, partially offset by a shortfall from share-based compensation.

During the second quarter of 2020, we completed a study of qualifying research and development expenses resulting in the recognition of tax benefits of $2.2 million, net of tax reserves, related to the current year and $6.3 million, net of tax reserves, related to prior years as of the third quarter of 2020. We recorded the tax benefit, before tax reserves, as a deferred tax asset.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our cash and cash equivalents, and any amounts we have available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility, are immediately available to provide cash for our operations and capital expenditures. We refer to the sum of these two amounts as our “liquidity.”

At September 30, 2020, we had total liquidity of $242.3 million, which reflected an increase of $73.1 million from the $169.2 million in liquidity we had as of December 31, 2019. Our liquidity at September 30, 2020 was comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $147.5 million and $94.8 million in available borrowing capacity under our $100.0 million revolving credit facility. This increase in liquidity primarily related to an increase in cash of $73.1 million, comprised of net cash provided by operations of $125.2 million, which includes approximately $24.0 million in Grants from the federal government under the CARES Act, partially offset by investing cash flows for purchases of property plant and equipment, and purchases of therapeutic program equipment, of $22.5 million, cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $16.9 million, and net cash used in financing activities of $14.1 million. As of September 30, 2020, we have repaid in full all $79.0 million in borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Our Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, as well as financial covenants, including that we maintain compliance with certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. If we are not compliant with our debt covenants in any period, absent a waiver or amendment of our Credit Agreement, we may be unable to access funds under our revolving credit facility. Due to the additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility in March 2020, which were repaid in full during the third quarter of 2020, and in anticipation of the potential economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement that provided for, among other things, increases in the allowable level of indebtedness we may carry relative to our earnings, changes in the definition of EBITDA used to compute certain financial ratios, certain restrictions regarding investments and payments we may make until the completion of the first quarter of 2021 and increases in the interest costs associated with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of September 30, 2020.

Working Capital and Days Sales Outstanding

At September 30, 2020, we had working capital of $103.2 million compared to working capital of $107.2 million at December 31, 2019. Our working capital decreased $4.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to an increase in current liabilities of $51.9 million, only partially offset by an increase in current assets of $47.8 million.

The increase in current liabilities of $51.9 million was primarily attributable to an increase of i) $19.0 million in the Current portion of long-term debt primarily related to $19.6 million in Seller Notes issued in connection with the acquisition of an O&P business in the second quarter of 2020, of which $18.4 million was paid in October 2020, ii) $16.6 million in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, of which $4.2 million relates to changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap, $3.7 million relates to liabilities incurred in the acquisition of an O&P business in the second quarter of 2020, $3.4 million relates to deferred grant income under the CARES Act, $2.8 million relates to increases in patient prepayments and deposits and $2.5 million in other activity and iii) $15.2 million in Accounts payable. The increase also reflects $2.5 million in additional Accrued compensation related costs attributable to current year increases in incentive compensation, severance and accrued vacation liabilities, partially offset by the payment of $34.2 million in annual incentive compensation and the employer 401(k) matching contribution made during the first quarter of 2020.

The increase in current assets of $47.8 million was primarily attributable to an increase in Cash and cash equivalents of $73.1 million discussed in the “Liquidity” section above, an increase in Income taxes receivable of $5.9 million, which relates to income tax relief under the CARES Act, an increase in Inventories of $5.9 million and approximately $0.8 million in Other current assets. These increases were offset by decreases in Accounts receivable, net of $38.0 million.

Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) is a calculation that approximates the average number of days between the billing for our services and the date of our receipt of payment, which we estimate using a 90-day rolling period of net revenue. This computation can provide a relative measure of the effectiveness of our billing and collections activities. Clinics acquired during the past 90-day period are excluded from the calculation. As of September 30, 2020, our DSO was 43 days, which compares favorably to a DSO of 47 days as of September 30, 2019. We believe that one-time administrative billing changes and the impact of implementing our patient management and electronic health system in certain of our largest operating regions contributed to collection delays impacting our comparative prior year DSO as of September 30, 2019 by approximately two days. The remainder of the reduction is attributable to improved collections experience due to the targeted efforts of our centralized revenue cycle management function.

Sources and Uses of Cash for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to September 30, 2019

Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased $105.3 million to $125.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from net cash provided by operating activities of $19.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The most significant increase in cash provided by operating activities was due to a $37.6 million increase in cash provided by Accounts receivable, net which is largely attributable to the effect of decreases in our revenue on the related amount of accounts receivable we would otherwise carry associated with those billings, as well as improvements in our collection activities, consistent with the decrease in DSO to 43 days as of September 30, 2020, compared to a DSO of 47 days as September 30, 2019. In addition, we recognized approximately $20.6 million in proceeds from the Grants received under the CARES Act within Net income. The remaining increase in cash flows provided by operations is primarily attributable to favorable changes in working capital in Accrued compensation and related costs, Accounts payable, Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, Other liabilities and Inventories of $53.8 million. Increases in Accrued compensation and related costs is primarily attributable to higher levels of accrued incentive compensation relative to the annual payout of the prior year accrual in the nine months ended September 30 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019, as well as higher levels of accrued vacation and accrued severance expenses. Increases in Accounts payable include the temporary benefit of approximately $9.3 million associated with more lenient credit terms provided to us by vendors. Other liability increases include $7.1 million in deferred payroll tax liabilities associated with the CARES Act. These increases in cash flows provided by operating activities were partially offset by changes in Income taxes of approximately $9.4 million, primarily due to the temporary relief provided under the CARES Act and changes in Other current assets and other assets of $1.3 million.

Table of Contents

We believe the favorable working capital trends experienced in the second and third quarter to be largely temporary, as they related primarily to a reduction in the amount of our required working capital resulting from decreases in our business volumes associated with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and, to a lesser extent, our temporary actions to further reduce our net working capital through reductions in inventory and negotiated changes in payment terms. Given these factors, we are unlikely to experience similar favorable contributions to operating cash flow from working capital improvements in the fourth quarter of 2020 and early 2021. Further, as the COVID-19 pandemic subsides and our business volumes return to more normal levels, we anticipate the favorable working capital trends observed in the third quarter to reverse in the form of increases to our accounts receivable, inventory, and cash paid to vendors as our credit terms return to previous arrangements, as well as further reductions as other temporary working capital benefits subside. For these reasons, and the reasons discussed in the “Liquidity Outlook” section below, we currently believe that we will experience a net consumption of cash during at least the next six month period.

Cash flows used in investing activities decreased $16.8 million to $38.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from $54.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to lower cash outflows of $14.7 million for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and lower capital expenditures of $2.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by $0.6 million less in proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment.

Cash flows used in financing activities increased $3.8 million to $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from cash used in financing activities of $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in cash used financing activities was primarily due to higher cash outflows of $3.1 million related to employee taxes on stock-based compensation and $0.6 million in payments under vendor financing arrangements that occurred solely in 2020.

Effect of Indebtedness

On March 6, 2018, we entered into a $605.0 million Credit Agreement, which provides for (i) a revolving credit facility with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $100.0 million that matures in March 2023 and (ii) a $505.0 million Term Loan B facility due in quarterly principal installments commencing June 29, 2018, with all remaining outstanding principal due at maturity in March 2025. For additional discussion surrounding the Credit Agreement, see Note L - “Debt and Other Obligations,” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report. Cash paid for interest totaled $22.2 million and $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

In May 2020, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) that provided for, amongst other things, an increase in the maximum Net Leverage Ratio to 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2020 through March 31, 2021; 5.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2021 through September 30, 2021; and 4.75 to 1.00 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. In addition, the Amendment changed the definition of EBITDA used in the Net Leverage Ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio to adjust for declines in net revenue attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the greater of LIBOR or 1.00%, plus 3.75%. In addition, the Amendment contained certain restrictions and covenants that further limit our ability, and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability, to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, or consummate acquisitions not financed with the proceeds of an equity offering, except that certain acquisitions are permitted after September 30, 2020, in the event we maintain certain leverage and liquidity thresholds. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we recommenced our acquisition of O&P providers.

Liquidity Outlook

Our Credit Agreement has a term loan facility with $492.4 million in principal outstanding at September 30, 2020, due in quarterly principal installments equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of $505.0 million, with all remaining outstanding principal due at maturity in March 2025, and, as of September 30, 2020, a revolving credit facility with no borrowings and available borrowing capacity of $94.8 million that matures in March 2023. We chose to borrow $79.0 million from our revolving credit facility in March 2020 to preserve access to these funds in the event of further instability in financial markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all of which has been repaid as of September 30, 2020.

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Due to the economic and social activity impacts outlined in the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above, we expect the continuing disruption to have an adverse impact on our operations, financial condition, and results of operations. While we believe the business disruption will be temporary, we cannot predict the extent or duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, when state and local restrictions will be lifted, the impact of increasing viral infections, or when patients will resume their normal healthcare treatment activities. In response to the expected decline in cash flows from operations, in March 2020, we implemented certain cost mitigation and liquidity management strategies including, but not limited to, reductions in componentry purchases, salary reductions for all exempt employees, the furloughing of certain employees, reductions in non-exempt employee hours, reductions in bonus and commission expenses, the temporary reduction in operating hours and days of clinics, reducing other operating expenses, deferring the implementation of our New Systems Implementations, temporarily delaying our acquisition of O&P providers, and extending the payment terms for certain vendors. These measures were taken in an effort to preserve liquidity in a manner sufficient to provide for our ability to respond to the adverse cash flow pressures likely to be caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. While some of our cost mitigation and liquidity strategies remain in place, as of the start of the fourth quarter, we have fully reinstated the salary reductions for exempt employees and have eliminated all but a small number of employee furloughs. Further, we recommenced our acquisition of O&P providers in the fourth quarter of 2020. Please refer to the “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above for our current estimates of the amounts of operating and capital expenditure reductions provided through these measures.

In connection with an acquisition we completed in April of 2020, we paid $18.4 million in short term seller notes and $3.6 million in liabilities incurred in the transaction in October 2020. Additionally, as discussed above, the favorable working capital trends we experienced in the third quarter are largely temporary. As our business volumes return to more normal levels, we will experience a consumption of cash associated with the funding of accounts receivable and componentry inventories associated with those increases in revenue. Additionally, as our credit terms with vendors return to normal, we would expect to consume approximately $9.3 million in additional cash associated with a reduction of accounts payable. In addition to these amounts, we anticipate other uses of cash to fund the reduction of increases in accrued compensation associated with employee bonus, commissions, and payroll taxes.

While we currently do not anticipate the need to do so, if the COVID-19 pandemic causes adverse cash flow and liquidity trends greater than those we currently expect and have planned for, we may find it necessary to seek additional borrowings to fund our operations. If we were to do so, given current credit market conditions, we may find that such additional borrowings are not available at that time, and if they are available, that the interest costs of such borrowings and effects on the costs of our existing borrowings could be significantly higher than the costs we currently pay under our existing Credit Agreement. Additionally, while we do not currently have the need or intention to do so, if necessary, we may extend our accounts payable and payment of other obligations to address any such funding shortage. While we cannot forecast with certainty the ultimate extent of the impacts from or the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that our operating expense and capital project reductions, when accompanied by additional cash sources, cost mitigation and liquidity management strategies, will enable us to maintain positive liquidity throughout the remainder of 2020 and the foreseeable future.

CARES Act

Table of Contents

During the second and third quarters of 2020, we recognized a total benefit of $20.6 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations within Other operating costs for a portion of the Grants from HHS. We recognize income related to grants on a systematic and rational basis when it becomes probable that we have complied with the terms and conditions of the grant and in the period in which the corresponding costs or income related to the grant are recognized. We recognized the benefit from the Grants within Other operating costs in our Patient Care segment. As of September 30, 2020, we have recorded a liability of $3.4 million within Accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to proceeds from the Grants for amounts that have not met the recognition criteria in accordance with our accounting policy.

Going Concern Evaluation

ASU 2014-15 Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern requires that we evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about our ability to meet our financial obligations when they become due during the twelve month period from the date these financial statements are available to be issued. We have performed such an evaluation considering the financial and operational effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and, based on the results of that assessment, we are not aware of any relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that may or could have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our future financial results are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate risk. Our interest expense is sensitive to changes in market interest rates. To manage the impact of the interest rate risk associated with our Credit Agreement, we enter into interest rate swaps from time to time, effectively converting a portion of the cash flows related to variable-rate debt into fixed-rate cash flows.

As of September 30, 2020, we had a combined principal amount of $492.4 million of variable rate debt under our Term Loan B and revolving credit facility and a notional amount of $300.0 million of fixed to variable interest rate swap agreements. Based on our hedged and unhedged positions, a hypothetical increase or decrease in interest rates of 1.0% would impact our annual interest expense by $2.5 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2020.

Not applicable.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. We have also identified the following additional risk factor, which supplements those discussed in our Form 10-K:

The Company’s financial condition and results of operations for fiscal year 2020 and beyond may continue to be materially adversely affected by the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak.

The outbreak of COVID-19 evolved into a global pandemic in the first quarter of 2020. The full extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will continue to impact our business and operating results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new medical and other information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions by governmental entities or others to contain it or mitigate its impact.

The COVID-19 pandemic continued to have a significant negative impact on our business and results of operations in the third quarter of 2020. We experienced a continued reduction in revenue due to a decline in the number of patients that we treated in our patient care clinics, as well as a reduction in sales to independent O&P clinics by our distribution business. A significant portion of this decline was due to O&P patients determining voluntarily to wait for various reasons, including concerns regarding their own health and safety, for appointments and procedures, both with us and with their referring physicians, that the patient deems to be non-urgent or otherwise able to be deferred or postponed. Although we have seen some recovery in patient volume since April of 2020, and sequentially since the second quarter of 2020, the progress of the COVID-19 pandemic has been erratic, with infection rates fluctuating and recently continuing to rise significantly in many regions throughout the United States, and we are unable to predict when the COVID-19 pandemic will no longer significantly impact our patient volumes, both in our own clinics and at independent O&P providers.

Nevertheless, we continue to believe that these patient volume declines primarily reflect a deferral of healthcare services utilization to a later period, rather than a permanent reduction in demand for our services. Given the general necessity of the services that our patient care clinics provide, we anticipate that this deferral of services may create a backlog of demand in the future, in addition to the resumption of historically normal levels of patient activity; however, there is no assurance that either will occur. To date, we have not experienced significantly extended billing and collection cycles as a result of displaced employees, delayed reimbursement by governmental or private payers, or delayed revenue cycle management procedures; however, we cannot predict the impact the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may have on these areas of our operations in future periods. We may also face a shortage in products within our supply chain in the future, which could impact our ability to service our patients in our clinics on a timely basis or at all.

Our management of the impact of COVID-19 has and will continue to require significant investment of time from our management and employees, as well as resources across our enterprise. The focus on managing and mitigating the impacts of COVID-19 on our business may cause us to divert or delay the application of our resources toward existing or new initiatives or investments, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Further, the impacts of COVID-19 have caused significant uncertainty and volatility in the credit markets. If our access to capital were to become significantly constrained, or if costs of capital increased significantly due the impact of COVID-19 including, volatility in the capital markets, a reduction in our credit ratings or other factors, then our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

The foregoing and other continued disruptions to our business as a result of COVID-19 has had, and is expected to continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition during the remainder of 2020, and potentially into 2021 and beyond.
