Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Identified During the Recent Investigation
As first disclosed in the Company’s Form 12b-25 filed on May 10, 2022, the Audit and Finance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit and Finance Committee”), assisted by independent legal counsel and forensic accountants, commenced an internal investigation in March 2022 of allegations regarding certain financial reporting matters submitted by current and former employees of the Company (“the North America Investigation”). In the North America Investigation, the Audit and Finance Committee concluded that there was no evidence of intentional wrongdoing or fraud but determined that certain former members of senior management, including the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer, violated provisions of the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. In addition, these former members of senior management did not maintain and promote an appropriate control environment focused on compliance in areas of the Company’s business, nor did they sufficiently promote, monitor or enforce adherence to the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. While the North America Investigation was ongoing, the Audit and Finance Committee determined that the scope of the internal investigation should be expanded to analyze an increase in returns of products in China during the fourth quarter of 2021 previously identified by management (the “China Investigation”). Based on the China Investigation, the Audit and Finance Committee concluded that members of the Company’s local commercial team in China, as well as the head of the Company’s Asia-Pacific commercial organization, committed intentional wrongdoing by failing to provide requested information to the Company’s local accounting organization, by obstructing the work of the accounting team and by lacking truthfulness in providing information to the Company and to the Audit and Finance Committee as part of the China Investigation. The China Investigation also determined that these actions by the certain members of the Company’s local commercial team in China, as well as the former Chief Financial Officer and the head of the Company’s Asia-Pacific commercial organization, violated the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. Refer to the Explanatory Note to this Form 10-Q for more information on each of these investigations and the related findings of the Audit and Finance Committee.
In connection with the restatement of the financial statements and related disclosures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, management re-evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and identified weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021. These material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting were not remediated as of June 30, 2022 and are not remediated through the date of this filing. For more information about the internal investigation and its findings, the specific material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and the current status of the Company’s remedial actions, please see Part II, Item 9A Controls and Procedures of the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K/A.
BUSINESS
The Company operates in two operating segments, Technologies & Equipment (“T&E”) and Consumables.
The T&E segment is responsible for the design, manufacture, and sale of products including dental implants, CAD/CAM systems, orthodontic clear aligner products, imaging systems, treatment centers and instruments, as well as certain healthcare products, primarily catheters.
The Consumables segment is responsible for the design, manufacture, and sale of dental consumable products within the product categories of preventive, restorative, endodontic, and dental laboratory application.
Impact of COVID-19
The Company’s financial results and operations continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on inflation, supply chains, distribution networks and consumer behavior. Information pertaining to the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s business during 2021 as well as the Company’s response can be found in “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the 2021 Form 10-K/A. Updates to that summary of impact for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are as follows:
•As further described in the “Results of Operations” discussion below, the Company continues to experience supply chain challenges resulting from the pandemic including increased lead times, limited availability of certain components, raw material price increases, and higher shipping costs. As a result of supply chain constraints, the Company continued to have an elevated backlog at the end of the second quarter relative to the start of the year, primarily in imaging equipment for orders on hand unable to be filled due to continued shortages of electronic components. The Company has continued taking steps to mitigate the impact of these trends, including seeking alternative supplier sources for key raw materials.
•Sales continue to be impacted in certain geographic areas by public response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Towards the end of the first quarter of 2022, authorities in China re-imposed severe restrictions on individual and business activities in response to the resurgence of COVID-19 infections from variants of the virus, resulting in a loss of sales due to distribution constraints and lower demand from patient traffic locally. Primarily as a result of these factors, sales in China declined by $38 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to 2021. Although restrictions in major areas where the Company operates in China have lightened by the end of the second quarter, adverse trends in certain regions could persist if these restrictions are renewed as a result of additional outbreaks. Early in 2022, certain other markets in North America and EMEA experienced more limited setbacks in demand as a result of increased infections and related practice of social distancing requirements. While most government authorities have not re-imposed restrictions with significant impacts, it continues to be unclear when the remaining constraints will be lifted, and to what degree future variants of the virus or renewed restrictions in other markets may impact short-term demand for the Company’s products more broadly.
Impact of Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine
On February 24, 2022, Russian forces launched military action against Ukraine, resulting in warfare and significant disruption in the region (“the conflict”). As a result of the invasion, economic sanctions have been imposed by the U.S., the European Union, and other countries on certain Russian financial institutions, businesses and individuals.
The Company does not have significant operations in Russia or Ukraine. The Company’s net sales in Russia and Ukraine approximate 3% of the Company’s consolidated net sales, and the Company’s net assets in these two countries aggregate to $74 million, or less than 2% of consolidated net assets. Due to the medical nature of its products, the current sanctions have not materially restricted the Company’s ability to continue selling to customers located in Russia. The Company sources certain raw materials and components from Russia and Ukraine, and to minimize the adverse impacts from disrupted supply chains related to these items, it has purchased sufficient quantities for the near term, and is in process of identifying alternate sources for the longer term. The Company’s operations in Ukraine consist primarily of research and development activities, which continue uninterrupted from other locations in order to focus on the safety of employees. Overall, the Company’s operations in Russia and Ukraine have not been materially impacted by the conflict, and consequently, the Company has not recorded any allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, or asset impairments during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of these developments.
While neither Russia nor Ukraine constitutes a material portion of our business, a significant escalation or expansion of economic disruption or the conflict’s current scope could result in a loss of sales, disrupt our supply chain, broaden inflationary costs, and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. For additional discussion of associated risks, refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the 2021 Form 10-K/A.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021
Net Sales
The Company presents net sales comparing the current year periods to the prior year periods. In addition, the Company also presents the changes in net sales on an organic sales basis, which is a Non-GAAP measure. The Company defines “organic sales” as the reported net sales adjusted for: (1) net sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition (2) net sales attributable to disposed businesses or discontinued product lines in both the current and prior year periods, and (3) the impact of foreign currency changes, which is calculated by translating current period net sales using the comparable prior period’s foreign currency exchange rates.
The “organic sales” measure is not calculated in accordance with US GAAP; therefore, this item represents a Non-GAAP measure. This Non-GAAP measure may differ from those used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Organic sales is an important internal measure for the Company which is utilized regularly by senior management in the review of operating results. Organic sales is disclosed to allow investors to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations exclusive of certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period and may not be indicative of past or future performance of the normal operations of the Company. The Company believes that this information is helpful in understanding underlying net sales trends.
The Company’s net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the reconciliation to organic sales is as follows:

The increase in organic sales was attributable to both the T&E and Consumables segments and was primarily due to strong performance in volumes for CAD/CAM, Equipment & Instruments, and Healthcare products globally, as well as a benefit from price increases. These drivers were offset by the continued impact of supply chain constraints affecting the ability to fulfill orders for certain Equipment & Instruments and Consumables products, the impact of COVID-19 variants on demand from patient traffic in China, and weaker performance in the United States as explained below.

As mentioned above, the increase in organic sales was primarily due to strong performance in volumes for CAD/CAM, Equipment & Instruments, and Healthcare products, as well as a benefit from price increases. The sales growth in CAD/CAM units is attributed to both Europe and the Rest of World regions, partially offset by sales of CAD/CAM products in the United States which were negatively impacted by high dealer inventory levels at the start of the quarter, as explained below. Supply chain constraints have also continued to adversely impact the Company’s ability to fulfill orders for certain Equipment & Instruments products.

The decrease in organic sales was attributable primarily to T&E, driven primarily by lower wholesale volumes for CAD/CAM products, due in part to high dealer inventory at the start of the quarter. Dealer inventory on hand for CAD/CAM units was approximately $10 million higher at the start of the second quarter 2022 than at the beginning of the comparative second quarter of 2021. This level of dealer inventory was reduced by approximately $25 million during the second quarter 2022, compared to a build in inventory level of approximately $20 million in the second quarter of 2021. Sales volumes during the three months ended June 30, 2022, were also negatively impacted by ongoing global supply chain constraints affecting the ability to fulfill orders for certain Equipment & Instruments, CAD/CAM and Consumables products. Within Orthodontics, a decline in sales of direct-to-consumer clear aligners was partly offset by strong demand for dentist-directed clear aligners. The decline in sales volume was partly offset by overall growth in Equipment & Instruments, particularly for imaging products, and the Healthcare business, as well as a benefit from price increases.

Gross profit for the quarter was negatively impacted by the decrease in volumes as described above, as well as foreign currency translation headwinds of $42 million. Gross profit margins as a percentage of net sales improved slightly in the current period due to the benefit of price increases and favorable foreign currency transaction gains being offset by unfavorable product mix. The impact of higher raw materials, labor, and distribution costs as a result of supply chain constraints and global inflation during the period was mostly offset by higher capitalized purchase price and manufacturing variances which will be reflected in cost of sales in future periods.

SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses increased primarily due to special costs including executive severance and legal expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales is also driven by lower absorption of expenses due to lower sales.
R&D Expenses
The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to an increase in spend within the T&E segment driven by increases in both headcount expenses and professional service fees for ongoing investments in digital workflow solutions, product development initiatives, software development including clinical application suite and cloud deployment. The Company expects to continue to maintain an expanded level of investment in R&D that is at least 4% of annual net sales.
Restructuring and Other Costs
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded net expense of $7 million of restructuring costs in connection with the various restructuring initiatives.

(a) Foreign exchange gains are primarily related to the revaluation of intercompany payables and loans.
In February 2022, the three-year cumulative inflation rate in Turkey exceeded 100 percent. As a result, effective April 1, 2022, the functional currency of the Company’s Turkish subsidiaries was changed to the U.S. dollar, the reporting currency of the parent. The impact of recognizing foreign currency gains and losses resulting from this change in functional currency were not material to the period.

Provision for income taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the provision for income taxes was $18 million as compared to $35 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The reduction in tax expense as compared to the prior period is driven primarily by the earnings mix of jurisdictions in which the Company does business and the overall decrease in the Company’s income before taxes.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, changes in tax expense for other discrete tax matters are not significant. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded $3 million tax expense for other discrete matters.
The Company continues to reassess the realizability of its deferred tax assets and, after weighing all positive and negative evidence, continues to maintain a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets.

The increase in organic sales was due to benefits from price increases and strong performance in the T&E segment in markets outside the United States as explained below. These increases were largely offset by overall weaker performance in the United States, including sales of CAD/CAM and Endodontic & Restorative Consumables products, and the ongoing impact of ongoing global supply chain constraints affecting the ability to fulfill orders for certain Equipment & Instruments, CAD/CAM and Consumables products. Results were also negatively impacted by COVID-19 variants on demand from patient traffic in certain markets, particularly China.

The increase in organic sales was primarily due to strong performance for Implants and Equipment & Instruments, partly as a result of beneficial price increases. These positive drivers were offset by the impact of ongoing global supply chain constraints resulting in the Company’s inability to fulfill orders for certain Equipment & Instruments and CAD/CAM products, as well as the impact of COVID-19 reducing sales volumes in certain markets, particularly China. Sales of CAD/CAM products in the United States were also negatively impacted by high dealer inventory levels at the start of the year, as explained below.

The decrease in organic sales was primarily due to the impact of ongoing global supply chain constraints affecting the ability to fulfill orders for certain products, and the impact of COVID-19 variants on sales volumes in certain markets, particularly China. Sales during the comparative first half of 2021 benefited from a restocking of products by customers as part of the overall recovery from the pandemic. The decline in sales volume was partly offset by strong performance for Preventive Consumables and the benefit from the price increases.

The decrease in organic sales was attributable to both segments, driven primarily by lower wholesale volumes for Restorative & Endodontic Consumables and CAD/CAM products, due in part to high dealer inventory at the start of the year. Dealer inventory on hand for CAD/CAM units was approximately $50 million higher at the start of 2022 than at the beginning of 2021. The level of inventory was reduced by approximately $35 million during the first half of 2022, compared to a build in inventory levels of approximately $45 million in the first half of 2021. Sales volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2022, were also negatively impacted by ongoing global supply chain constraints affecting the ability to fulfill orders for certain Equipment & Instruments, CAD/CAM and Consumables products, and the impact of COVID-19 on demand early in the first quarter. The decline in sales volume was partly offset by sales growth in the Implants business and a benefit from price increases implemented in the current quarter. Within Orthodontics, a decline in sales of direct-to-consumer clear aligners was partly offset by strong demand for dentist-directed clear aligners.

The increase in organic sales was primarily due to overall higher volumes for Equipment & Instruments, CAD/CAM and Implants products as a result of favorable market trends and demand, as well as a benefit from price increases. The organic sales growth was partly suppressed by ongoing global supply chain constraints, particularly for certain Equipment & Instruments products which rely on electrical components.

Gross profit was negatively impacted by foreign currency headwinds of $74 million and a decrease in sales volumes during the period. Gross profit margins as a percentage of net sales declined in the current period due to the impact of higher raw materials, labor, and distribution costs as a result of supply chain constraints and global inflation during the period, partly offset by the benefit of price increases and higher capitalized purchase price and manufacturing variances which will be reflected in cost of sales in future periods.

SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses increased primarily due to special costs including executive severance and legal expenses, offset by lower spend for acquisition activities and sales and marketing resources relative to the first half of prior year when strategic investments were made during the COVID-19 recovery. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales was also driven by lower absorption of expenses due to lower sales.
R&D Expenses
The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to an increase in spend within the T&E segment driven by increases in both headcount expenses and professional service fees for ongoing investments in digital workflow solutions, product development initiatives, software development including clinical application suite and cloud deployment. The Company expects to continue to maintain an expanded level of investment in R&D that is at least 4% of annual net sales.
Restructuring and Other Costs
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded net expense of $10 million of restructuring costs in connection with the various restructuring initiatives.

In February 2022, the three-year cumulative inflation rate in Turkey exceeded 100 percent. As a result, effective April 1, 2022, the functional currency of the Company’s Turkish subsidiaries was changed to the U.S. dollar, the reporting currency of the parent. The impact of recognizing foreign currency gains and losses resulting from this change in functional currency were not material to the period.

Provision for income taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the provision for income taxes was $36 million as compared to $68 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in tax expense in the current period is driven by the divestiture and its related tax impact in the prior period, and additional discrete tax expense, as well changes in the earnings mix in jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $1 million of tax expense for other discrete tax matters, none of which are individually significant. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $2 million tax benefit for other discrete matters. The Company also recorded a $4 million tax expense as a discrete item related to business divestitures.
The Company continues to reassess the realizability of its deferred tax assets and, after weighing all positive and negative evidence, continues to maintain a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
There have been no changes to the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the 2021 Form 10-K/A other than those changes explained in Part I, Item 1, Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.
Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill represents the excess cost over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized; instead, it is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. Judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred during the course of the year. Such indicators may include a decline in expected cash flows, unanticipated competition or slower growth rates, among others. When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may assess qualitative factors for its reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount including goodwill. Alternatively, the Company may bypass this qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test.
Goodwill is allocated among reporting units and evaluated for impairment at that level. The Company’s reporting units are either an operating segment or one level below its operating segments, as determined in accordance with ASC 350.
For the fiscal year 2022, the Company performed its goodwill impairment test as of April 1, 2022 and elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and performed a quantitative assessment. The Company did not record any goodwill impairment during the first six months of 2022 or 2021.
To determine the fair value of the reporting units, the Company used a discounted cash flow model which utilizes both internal and market-based data as its valuation technique. The discounted cash flow model uses five-to-ten year forecasted cash flows plus a terminal value based on a multiple of earnings or by capitalizing the last period’s cash flows using a perpetual growth rate. The Company’s significant assumptions in the discounted cash flow model include, but are not limited to, the weighted average cost of capital, revenue growth rates (including perpetual growth rates), and operating margin percentages of the reporting unit’s business. These assumptions were developed in consideration of current market conditions. The Company reconciled the aggregate fair values of its reporting units to its market capitalization, which included a reasonable control premium based on market conditions.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment
Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of tradenames and trademarks and are not subject to amortization; instead, tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired or if a decision is made to sell a business. The Company performed this annual impairment test as of April 1, 2022 in conjunction with the goodwill impairment annual test. The Company did not record any indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment during the first six months of 2022 or 2021.
The fair value of acquired tradenames and trademarks is estimated by the use of a relief from royalty method, which values an indefinite-lived intangible asset by estimating the royalties saved through the ownership of an asset. Under this method, an owner of an indefinite-lived intangible asset determines the arm’s length royalty that likely would have been charged if the owner had to license the asset from a third party. The royalty rate, which is based on the estimated rate applied against forecasted sales, is tax-effected and discounted at present value using a discount rate commensurate with the relative risk of achieving the cash flow attributable to the asset. Management judgment is necessary to determine key assumptions, including revenue growth rates, perpetual revenue growth rates, royalty rates, and discount rates. Other assumptions are consistent with those applied to goodwill impairment testing.
The determination of fair value involves uncertainties around the forecasted cash flows as it requires management to make assumptions and apply judgement to estimate future business expectations. Those future expectations include, but are not limited to, the current and ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and new product development changes for these reporting units. The Company also considers the current and projected market and economic conditions amid the ongoing pandemic for the dental industry both in the U.S. and globally, when determining its assumptions.
Impairments Subsequent to June 30, 2022
The Company has continued to monitor macroeconomic events after its most recent annual impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets which was completed during the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. In the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company expects to record a pre-tax non-cash charge for the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the range of $1.0 billion - $1.3 billion, due primarily to macroeconomic factors such as higher cost of capital, cost inflation, unfavorable foreign currency impacts, and increased supply chain costs, which are contributing to reduced forecasted revenues, lower operating margins, and reduced expectations for future cash flows.
The timing of this impairment charge in the third quarter was the result of the following factors:
• | Current macroeconomic conditions, including the rising interest rate environment and broad declines in equity valuations. Since the second quarter, core underlying market interest rates, which serve as the basis for the discount rate assumptions in our impairment models, rose by approximately 200 basis points. |
• | Reduced earnings forecasts for several reporting units as these forecasts were impacted by ongoing macroeconomic forces. First, global demand has weakened for certain products in the third quarter as inflationary pressures impacted the discretionary spending behavior of our customers, which has introduced new competitive challenges. Additionally, raw materials, supply chain, and service costs have all increased due to changes in our business model and broad inflationary trends. |
A change in any of these estimates and assumptions used in the annual test, or in the tests utilized subsequent to June 30, 2022, as well as unfavorable changes in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, or in the overall markets served by these reporting units, among other factors, could have further negative material impacts to the fair value of the reporting units and the indefinite-lived tangible assets and could result in a future impairment charge. There can be no assurance that the Company’s future goodwill and indefinite-lived assets impairment testing will not result in a material adverse impact to the Company’s results of operations.
Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 14, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the Company’s annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing.

Cash provided by operating activities remained flat despite lower sales in the period, primarily as a result of changes in working capital including higher liabilities for trade payables and a decrease in accounts receivable, offset by the build-up in inventory during the current period, partly as a consequence of temporary COVID-19 related shutdowns in China. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the number of days for sales outstanding in accounts receivable decreased by 2 days to 58 days as compared to 60 days at December 31, 2021, and the number of days of sales in inventory increased by 18 days to 128 days at June 30, 2022 as compared to 110 days at December 31, 2021.
The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to lower cash paid for acquisitions of $241 million, partially offset by higher capital expenditures of $19 million, and less cash received on sale of non-strategic businesses of $27 million. The Company estimates capital expenditures to be in the range of approximately $160 million to $180 million for the full year 2022 and expects these investments to include expansion of facilities to provide incremental space for growth and to consolidate operations for enhanced efficiencies.
The increase in cash used in financing activities was driven by higher cash outflows related to stock repurchases of $60 million and reduced proceeds from exercises of stock options of $39 million, offset by higher proceeds from short-term borrowings of $32 million primarily from using the Company’s commercial paper program. As a result of this activity, combined with a decrease of $88 million due to exchange rate fluctuations on debt denominated in foreign currencies, the Company’s total borrowings decreased by a net $68 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR Agreement”) of $150 million with approximately 2.4 million shares delivered during March 2022 at a volume-weighted average price of $50.44. In April 2022 an additional 0.7 million shares were delivered upon the final settlement of the ASR Agreement resulting in a total 3.1 million shares repurchased under the agreement. At June 30, 2022, $740 million of authorization remained available for future share repurchases. Additional share repurchases, if any, may be made through open market purchases, Rule 10b5-1 plans, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other transactions in such amounts and at such times as the Company deems appropriate based upon prevailing market and business conditions and other factors. At June 30, 2022, the Company held 49.7 million shares of treasury stock.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had a total remaining borrowing capacity of $535 million under lines of credit, including lines available under its short-term arrangements and revolving credit facility. The Company’s borrowing capacity includes a $700 million credit facility from 2018 available through July 28, 2024. The Company also has available an aggregate $500 million under a U.S. dollar commercial paper facility. The $700 million revolver serves as a back-up to the commercial paper facility, thus the total available credit under the commercial paper facility and the multi-currency revolving credit facility in the aggregate is $700 million. The Company had $193 million outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper facility at June 30, 2022 resulting in $507 million remaining available under the revolving credit and commercial paper facilities. The Company also has access to $54 million in uncommitted short-term financing under lines of credit from various financial institutions, the availability of which is reduced by other short-term borrowings. The lines of credit have no major restrictions and are provided under demand notes between the Company and the lending institutions. At June 30, 2022, the Company has $26 million outstanding under short-term borrowing arrangements.
The Company’s revolving credit facility, term loans and senior notes contain certain covenants relating to the Company’s operations and financial condition. The most restrictive of these covenants are: a ratio of total debt outstanding to total capital not to exceed 0.6, and a ratio of operating income excluding depreciation and amortization to interest expense of not less than 3.0 times, in each case, as such terms are defined in the relevant agreement. Any breach of any such covenants would result in a default under the existing debt agreements that would permit the lenders to declare all borrowings under such debt agreements to be immediately due and payable and, through cross default provisions, would entitle the Company’s other lenders to accelerate their loans. At June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Additionally, the Company is required under certain of its debt agreements to deliver or make available to borrowers its unaudited financial statements on a timely basis each quarter along with the necessary certifications. As a result of the Company’s failure to file its unaudited financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 by the reporting deadlines, the Company obtained the consents of the requisite lenders and noteholders of its outstanding indebtedness to extend the time period for delivery of such unaudited financial statements until November 14, 2022. Therefore, the Company has not suffered an event of default as a result of the delayed filings.
The Company expects on an ongoing basis to be able to finance operating cash requirements, capital expenditures, and debt service from the current cash, cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and amounts available under its existing borrowing facilities. The Company’s credit facilities are further discussed in Note 13, Financing Arrangements, to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.
The cash held by foreign subsidiaries for permanent reinvestment is generally used to finance the subsidiaries’ operating activities and future foreign investments. The Company has the ability to repatriate cash to the U.S., which could result in an adjustment to the tax liability for foreign withholding taxes, foreign and/or U.S. state income taxes, and the impact of foreign currency movements. At June 30, 2022, management believed that sufficient liquidity was available in the United States and expects this to remain for the next twelve months. The Company has repatriated and expects to continue repatriating certain funds from its non-U.S. subsidiaries that are not needed to finance local operations, however, these particular repatriation activities have not and are not expected to result in a significant incremental tax liability to the Company.
The Company continues to review its debt portfolio and may refinance additional debt or add debt in the near-term based on strategic capital management. The Company believes there is sufficient liquidity available for the next twelve months.
Material Trends in Capital Resources
Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, the Company’s financial results have been impacted by the costs associated with the internal investigation conducted by the Audit and Finance Committee and assisted by independent legal counsel and forensic accountants. These costs have included professional service fees associated with the investigation itself, as well as third party accounting and legal costs incurred by management to make assessments and revisions and begin remediation activities in response to the investigation’s findings. Additionally, the Company has incurred severance costs associated with its remedial personnel actions, as well as special one-time costs in connection with retention of key personnel. These costs totaled approximately $25 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 with additional charges of approximately $20 million expected to be recorded in the third quarter of 2022. Although the investigation has been completed at the time of this filing, related costs are expected to continue as a material trend into the fourth quarter of 2022 and beyond into 2023 as the Company completes its remediation activities described in Part I, Item 4 Controls and Procedures of this Form 10-Q, and incurs incremental legal defense costs pertaining to the matters described in Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies to the financial statements included in Part I, Item 1.

Refer to Part 1, Item 1, Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no material changes from the information provided in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 4 – Controls and Procedures
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective as of June 30, 2022 because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, as described below under “Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.”
Notwithstanding the ineffective disclosure controls and procedures as a result of the identified material weaknesses, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management identified the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022:
a.The Company did not design and maintain an effective internal control environment, as former management failed to set an appropriate tone at the top. Specifically, certain members of senior management, including the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer, engaged in conduct that was inconsistent with the Company’s culture of compliance and Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.
b.The Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge about accounting for variable consideration related to customer incentive arrangements in a manner commensurate with our financial reporting requirements.
These material weaknesses contributed to the following additional material weakness:
c.The Company did not design and maintain effective controls associated with approving, communicating, and accounting for incentive arrangements with customers, impacting the completeness and accuracy of revenues, including variable consideration.
These material weaknesses resulted in the restatement of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the unaudited interim financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. These material weaknesses also resulted in adjustments to substantially all of our accounts and disclosures for the interim and annual periods related to 2019, 2020, and 2021. Additionally, each of these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of substantially all of our account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Plan and Status
In response to the matters discussed in the Explanatory Note, management is devoting substantial resources to the planning and ongoing implementation of remediation efforts to address the material weaknesses described herein, as well as other identified areas of risk. These remediation efforts, summarized below, which either have already been implemented or are continuing to be implemented, are intended to address both the identified material weaknesses and to enhance the Company’s overall internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.
With oversight from the Audit and Finance Committee and input from the Board of Directors, management has begun designing and implementing changes in processes and controls to remediate the material weaknesses and to enhance our internal control over financial reporting as noted below. Management and the Board of Directors, including the Audit and Finance Committee, are working to remediate the material weaknesses identified herein. While the Company expects to take other remedial actions, actions taken to date include:
a.Appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer, a new Chief Financial Officer and a new Chief Accounting Officer;
b.Termination of certain members of senior management as well as non-executive employees for violations of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.
In addition to the remedial actions taken to date, the Company is taking, or plans to take, the following actions to remediate the material weaknesses identified herein:
a.Review and enhance the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct to clarify responsibilities related to the Company’s financial reporting and disclosures and provide incremental training to Company personnel on the updated Code of Ethics and Business Conduct;
b.Implement written policies and procedures to provide governance and establish responsibility for oversight of incentive arrangements provided to customers, including the appropriate delegation of authority for such approvals;
c.Formalize written policies and procedures to provide governance and establish responsibility for guidelines, documentation and oversight of product returns from customers when a contractual right to return exists in a customer agreement;
d.Require and provide trainings for employees who have a role in negotiating, assessing, agreeing, and accounting for customer incentive arrangements with distributors;
e.Provide training on new processes to individuals responsible for execution, oversight and review of customer incentive arrangements with customers;
f.Enhance processes to ensure all applicable terms and conditions for incentive-based programs and customer agreements are timely communicated to individuals responsible for accounting and financial reporting;
g.Strengthen internal controls over the accounting for customer incentive arrangements, including: (i) implementing formal controls to continuously review and document the methodology and assumptions used in estimating variable based incentives, and (ii) formal controls to ensure the accuracy of the estimated accrued liability analysis;
h.Evaluate finance and commercial operations talent and address identified gaps;
i.Enhance training programs on revenue recognition for commercial and finance personnel.
In addition, the Company took the following remedial actions to improve disclosure controls and procedures:
a.Enhanced existing Disclosure Committee responsibilities through a more formal charter, which identifies members and sets forth the roles and responsibilities of the Disclosure Committee, among other requirements; and
b.Implemented additional and enhance existing sub-certifications and internal management representation letters, including providing training on the purpose and execution of these processes.
Management developed a detailed plan and timetable for the implementation of the foregoing remediation efforts and will oversee the effective execution. In addition, under the direction of the Audit and Finance Committee, management will continue to identify and implement actions to improve the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, including plans to enhance its resources and training with respect to financial reporting and disclosure responsibilities and make necessary changes to policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of such controls.
Management believes the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate the material weaknesses described above. As the Company continues to evaluate and work to improve its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, management may determine to take additional measures to improve controls or determine to modify the remediation plan described above.
As of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the material weaknesses described above have not yet been remediated. The material weaknesses described above cannot be considered remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are designed and operating effectively. Accordingly, management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the activities affected by the material weaknesses described above.
The Company’s management will continue to work towards full remediation of these material weaknesses to improve its internal control over financial reporting.
