Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On October 26, 2015, Endologix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Endologix” or “Parent”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with TriVascular Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TriVascular”), and Parent’s wholly owned subsidiary, Teton Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”). Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into TriVascular (the “Merger”) with TriVascular surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent. Closing of the Merger is expected to occur in January 2016.

Under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding shares of capital stock of TriVascular will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive merger consideration with a value, based on the closing price of Endologix’s common stock on October 23, 2015, equal to up to approximately $211 million at closing, subject to certain adjustments specified in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Consideration”). Approximately $187 million of the Merger Consideration payable to TriVascular stockholders will be payable in shares of Endologix common stock issued at closing. This represents the value of 19.999% of Endologix’s common stock as of October 23, 2015. Subject to certain adjustments specified in the Merger Agreement, up to the remaining approximately $24 million of the Merger Consideration will be payable in cash at closing. Parent, the Company and Merger Sub intend, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of Endologix, TriVascular and Merger Sub. Endologix and TriVascular have agreed to operate their respective businesses in the ordinary course until completion of the Merger. TriVascular has also agreed not to solicit or initiate discussions with third parties regarding other proposals to acquire TriVascular and to certain restrictions on its ability to respond to any such proposals. The Merger Agreement contains customary closing conditions, including the requisite consent to the adoption of the Merger Agreement by TriVascular’s stockholders and the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The consummation of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition.

The Merger Agreement also includes customary termination provisions for both TriVascular and Endologix, subject, in certain circumstances, to the payment by TriVascular or Endologix of a termination fee of 3.0% or 4.5%, respectively, of the aggregate purchase price. TriVascular must pay Endologix the 3.0% termination fee following a change of recommendation by the board of directors of TriVascular or if TriVascular terminates the Merger Agreement to enter into an agreement with respect to a proposal from a third party that the board of directors of TriVascular has determined in good faith in the exercise of its fiduciary duties is superior to Endologix’s, in each case, as is described in further detail in the Merger Agreement. Endologix must pay TriVascular the 4.5% termination fee if Endologix is unable to obtain antitrust approval of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement and the Merger were unanimously approved by the board of directors of Endologix.


Voting Agreements

On October 26, 2015, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Endologix and Merger Sub entered into voting agreements with stockholders that are executive officers and directors of TriVascular, and in the case of the directors, funds affiliated with those directors (the “Voting Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions therein, such stockholders agreed to vote all shares beneficially owned by such stockholders, representing approximately 32.5% of the outstanding shares of TriVascular, in favor of (1) the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (2) any proposal to adjourn or postpone the stockholder meeting at which TriVascular’s stockholders are voting on the approval of the Merger Agreement to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement, and (3) any other matter necessary to consummate the Merger; and to vote against (1) any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of TriVascular or the stockholder contained in the Merger Agreement and (2) any competing offer or acquisition proposal or any other action, agreement or transaction involving TriVascular that is intended, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, adversely affect or prevent the consummation of the Merger.

The foregoing summaries of the principal terms of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full copies of the Merger Agreement and the form of Voting Agreement filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 4.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The summaries and the copies of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements are intended to provide information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements and are not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about Endologix or TriVascular in its public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In particular, the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreements and related summaries are not intended to be, and should not be relied upon as, disclosures regarding any facts and circumstances relating to any party to the Merger Agreement or the Voting Agreements. The Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements include representations, warranties and covenants of the parties thereto made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements, respectively. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the contract among the parties to the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements respectively and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties thereto in connection with the negotiated terms. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to Endologix’s or TriVascular’s SEC filings or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts of the Endologix, TriVascular, Merger Sub, the stockholders or any of their respective affiliates.

Section 5.7 Takeover Statutes .

All terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution hereof, Parent, Merger Sub and TriVascular Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended from time to time, the “ Merger Agreement ”), which provides, among other things, for the Company to convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval and to consummate the Merger (subject to the conditions set forth in Article VI of the Merger Agreement) as soon as practicable after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company (“ Company Common Stock ”) set forth on the signature page hereto (such shares, in addition to any shares of Company Common Stock acquired in any manner after the date of this Agreement, being referred to herein as the “ Subject Shares ”); and

WHEREAS, as a condition to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, and as an inducement and in consideration for Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder, on his, her or its own account with respect to the Subject Shares, has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

AGREEMENT TO VOTE

1.1 Agreement to Vote . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 5.2 , at the Company Stockholder Meeting or any other annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, the Stockholder shall, in each case to the fullest extent that the Subject Shares are entitled to vote thereon: (a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of the Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of determining a quorum; and (b) be present (in person or by proxy) and vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent with respect to, all of the Subject Shares: (i) for adoption of the Merger Agreement and for the approval of the Transactions; (ii) for any proposal to adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholder Meeting or such other meeting of the Company’s stockholders to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement; (iii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement, or of the Stockholder contained in this Agreement; (iv) against any Company Takeover Proposal and or any other action, agreement or transaction involving the Company that is intended, or would reasonably be


expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, adversely affect or prevent the consummation of the Transactions; and (v) in favor of any other matter necessary to consummate the Transactions. Subject to the proxy granted under Section 1.2 below, the Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote the Subject Shares in the Stockholder’s sole discretion, and without any other limitation, on any matters other than those set forth in this Section 1.1 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s stockholders generally.

1.2 Irrevocable Proxy . Solely with respect to the matters described in Section 1.1 , until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 5.2 , the Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as his, her or its attorney and proxy with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of the Stockholder’s voting rights with respect to all of the Subject Shares (which proxy is irrevocable and which appointment is coupled with an interest, including for purposes of Section 212 of the DGCL) to vote, and to execute written consents with respect to, all of the Subject Shares solely on the matters described in Section 1.1 , and in accordance therewith. The Stockholder agrees to execute any further agreement or form reasonably necessary or appropriate to confirm and effectuate the grant of the proxy contained herein. Such proxy shall automatically terminate upon the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Parent may terminate this proxy with respect to the Stockholder at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to the Stockholder.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDER

The Stockholder represents and warrants, on his, her or its own account with respect to the Subject Shares, to Parent and Merger Sub that:

2.1 Authorization; Binding Agreement . The Stockholder has full legal capacity, right and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) (the “ Enforceability Exceptions ”). If the Stockholder is married, and any of the Subject Shares of the Stockholder constitute community property or otherwise need spousal or other approval for this Agreement to be legal, valid and binding, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder’s spouse and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by Parent and Merger Sub, is enforceable against the Stockholder’s spouse in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

2.2 Non-Contravention . Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by the Stockholder with any provisions herein will (a) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provisions of, or require any consent, waiver or approval or result in a default or loss of a benefit (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration or any event that, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would constitute a default or give rise to any such right) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, license, agreement, contract, indenture or other instrument or obligation to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder or any of his, her or its assets may be bound, (b) result (or, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would result) in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or encumbrance of any kind on any asset of the Stockholder (other than one created by Parent or Merger Sub), or (c) violate any order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Stockholder or by which any of his, her or its assets are bound, except, with respect to the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), as

 

2


would not impair or adversely affect Stockholder’s ability to perform Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement.

2.3 Ownership of Subject Shares; Total Shares . Such Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of all of the Subject Shares and has good and marketable title to all of the Subject Shares free and clear of any liens, claims, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, options, rights, understandings or arrangements or any other encumbrances or restrictions whatsoever on title, transfer or exercise of any rights of a stockholder in respect of such Subject Shares (collectively, “ Encumbrances ”), except for any such Encumbrance that may be imposed pursuant to (a) this Agreement and (b) any applicable restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act or any state securities law (collectively, “ Permitted Encumbrances ”). For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that the Subject Shares are held in a margin account shall not be deemed to be an Encumbrance hereunder. The Subject Shares constitute all of the shares of “voting stock” of the Company of which the Stockholder is the “owner” (as such terms are defined in Section 203 of the DGCL) as of the date hereof.

2.4 Voting Power . The Stockholder has full voting power with respect to all of the Subject Shares, and full power of disposition, full power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth herein and full power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of the Subject Shares, subject to applicable federal securities laws and the terms of this Agreement.

2.5 Reliance . The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

2.6 Brokers . Except as otherwise disclosed in the Merger Agreement, no broker, finder, financial advisor, investment banker or other person is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission from the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Stockholder.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT AND MERGER SUB

Parent and Merger Sub represent and warrant to the Stockholder that:

3.2 Authority for this Agreement .

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of each of Parent and Merger Sub, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent and Merger Sub are necessary to authorize this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent and Merger Sub and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Stockholder, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against each of Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions.

ARTICLE IV

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

The Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that until the termination of this Agreement:

4.1 No Transfer; No Inconsistent Arrangements .

Any action taken in violation of the foregoing sentence shall be null and void ab initio . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder may Transfer the Subject Shares (1) if such Stockholder is a partnership, limited liability company or trust, to one or more partners or members of such Stockholder or to an affiliated corporation under common control with such Stockholder or to any trustee or beneficiary of the trust, (2) if such Stockholder is an individual, (w) to any member of the Stockholder’s immediate family, (x) to a trust for the sole benefit of the Stockholder or any member of the Stockholder’s immediate family, the sole trustees of which are the Stockholder or any member of the Stockholder’s immediate family, (y) by will, or (z) under the laws of intestacy upon the death of the Stockholder, (3) to a charitable organization, including but not limited to, a private charitable foundation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code or (4) pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 in place prior to the date of this Agreement; provided , that a Transfer referred to in clause (1), (2)(w), (2)(x), (2)(y) or (3) of this sentence shall be permitted only if the transferee agrees in writing to accept the Subject Shares subject to the terms of this Agreement and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and to agree and acknowledge that such person shall constitute a Stockholder for all purposes of this Agreement. If any involuntary Transfer of any of the Subject Shares shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by the Stockholder’s trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold the Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder may make such Transfers of the Subject Shares as Parent may agree in writing in its sole discretion.

4.2 No Exercise of Appraisal Rights . The Stockholder forever waives and agrees not to exercise any appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or otherwise in respect of the Subject Shares that may arise in connection with the Merger.

4.3 Documentation and Information . The Stockholder shall not make any public announcement regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Parent, except as may be required by applicable Law or in compliance with the rules or regulations of the SEC, any other Governmental Entity or the Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Stockholder in consultation with his, her or its counsel (provided that notice of any such disclosure will be provided to Parent). The Stockholder consents to and hereby authorizes Parent and Merger Sub to publish and disclose in all documents and

 

4


schedules filed with the SEC, and any press release or other disclosure document that Parent or Merger Sub reasonably determines to be necessary in connection with the Merger and any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder’s identity and ownership of the Subject Shares, the existence of this Agreement and the nature of the Stockholder’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement, and the Stockholder acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub will file this Agreement or a form hereof with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity. The Stockholder agrees to promptly give Parent any information it may reasonably require for the preparation of any such disclosure documents, and the Stockholder agrees to promptly notify Parent of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by the Stockholder specifically for use in any such disclosure document, if and to the extent that any such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.

4.4 Adjustments . In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or the like of the capital stock of the Company affecting the Subject Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities.

4.6 No Solicitation . The Stockholder shall, and shall cause his, her or its Affiliates (which term, solely for purposes of this Section 4.6 , shall be deemed to exclude the Company and its Subsidiaries) and his, her or its and their respective Representatives, not to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Takeover Proposal, (b) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any information in connection with or for the purpose of knowingly encouraging or facilitating, a Company Takeover Proposal (other than, solely in response to an unsolicited inquiry, to refer the inquiring person to this Section 4.6 and to Section 5.3 of the Merger Agreement and to limit his, her or its conversation or other communication exclusively to such referral), or (c) support, recommend, endorse or approve, or propose to support, recommend, endorse or approve, any Company Takeover Proposal or enter into any letter of intent or similar document, agreement, commitment or agreement in principle relating to or facilitating a Company Takeover Proposal.

Endologix, Inc. and TriVascular Technologies, Inc. Announce Merger to Create a Leading Cardiovascular Growth Company Focused on the Treatment of Aortic Disorders

Combined Product Portfolio to Provide Clinicians with a Broad Range of Endovascular AAA Devices

Will Expand U.S. and European Sales Organizations to Enhance Growth and Provide Excellent Clinical Support

Endologix to Host Conference Call Today at 5:00 p.m. ET

IRVINE, Calif., & SANTA ROSA, Calif., October 26, 2015 – Endologix, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELGX) and TriVascular Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRIV) announced today that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Endologix and TriVascular will combine in a stock and cash transaction. The transaction is valued at $9.10 per TriVascular share, or a total of approximately $211 million, based on Endologix’s closing stock price of $13.81 per share on October 23, 2015.

John McDermott, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Endologix, said, “This merger enhances the near and long-term growth potential of our business by bringing together two of the most innovative companies in the field of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (“AAA”) treatment. We believe the combined company will be uniquely positioned to provide physicians with three complementary products to treat a wide range of patient anatomies. These devices, the AFX ® , Ovation ® and Nellix ® systems, each offer unique clinical advantages and together will offer physicians the ability to choose the best solution for each patient – all provided by one company. In addition to the existing products, the combined company will have a deep pipeline of new devices including AFX2 and the Ovation iX™ system that are both planned for market introduction by the first quarter of 2016. These new products are expected to be followed by additional new technologies including the launch of Nellix in the U.S., which is expected to receive PMA approval by the end of 2016.”

Mr. McDermott added, “In addition to the strong product portfolio, the merger brings together two experienced endovascular AAA sales and clinical teams in the U.S. and Europe. The combined organizations will provide broader coverage, increased clinical support and convenience for physicians and hospitals who want to access multiple technologies through a single company and representative.”

Christopher G. Chavez, President and Chief Executive Officer of TriVascular, said, “Endologix and TriVascular are two entrepreneurial companies that share a strong strategic focus on providing physicians with innovative and less invasive technologies to make endovascular aortic repair safer and available to more patients, including the significant number of patients with challenging aortoiliac anatomy. We believe physician and patient access to the Ovation platform will be significantly enhanced from a combined larger, stronger and more experienced field sales and service organization. We look forward to combining our significant and complementary expertise and capabilities for the benefit of our customers, patients, employees and stockholders.”

Terms of the Transaction

Under the terms of the agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both Endologix and TriVascular, Endologix will acquire TriVascular through the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Endologix with and into TriVascular. TriVascular will survive the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Endologix. As consideration for the merger, each outstanding TriVascular share will be entitled to receive a number of shares of Endologix common stock and an amount of cash, each to be determined at the closing of the merger. The stock portion of the consideration will equal in the aggregate 19.999% of Endologix’s outstanding shares of common stock as of the effective time of the merger, and is expected to be tax-free to TriVascular stockholders. The cash portion of the consideration will be determined at closing based on the intrinsic value of TriVascular options, restricted stock units, and warrants and, if applicable, the conversion of TriVascular convertible debt prior to such time. Upon completion of the merger, Endologix stockholders will own approximately 84% of the shares of the combined company on a fully diluted basis and TriVascular stockholders will own approximately 16%. The transaction is expected to close in January of 2016, subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of TriVascular’s stockholders and completion of all necessary regulatory reviews.

Following the closing of the transaction, the combined company will conduct business as Endologix, Inc. with its U.S. headquarters in Irvine, California, where Endologix’s current headquarters are located. Endologix will be led by John McDermott, who will become Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. Endologix’s board of directors will be comprised of Endologix’s existing board along with one representative from TriVascular’s existing board who is anticipated to be Mr. Chavez.

In connection with the merger, certain executive officers and the directors of TriVascular, including investment entities affiliated with the directors of TriVascular, have entered into voting agreements with Endologix covering approximately 32.5% of TriVascular’s outstanding shares.

Piper Jaffray is acting as the financial advisor to Endologix, and Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth is serving as legal counsel. J.P. Morgan Securities is acting as the financial advisor to TriVascular, and Arnold & Porter LLP is serving as legal counsel.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

TRIVASCULAR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. The Company

TriVascular Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in July 2007 and began operations on March 28, 2008. The Company is a medical device company developing and commercializing innovative technologies to significantly advance minimally invasive treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (“AAA”). The Ovation System, the Company’s solution for the treatment of AAA through minimally invasive endovascular aortic repair (“EVAR”) is a new stent graft platform, providing an innovative and effective alternative to conventional devices. It is designed specifically to address many of the limitations associated with conventional EVAR devices and expand the pool of patients eligible for EVAR. The Company received CE Mark clearance in August 2010 and began commercial sales of its Ovation System in Europe in September 2010. In October 2012, the Company received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for the Ovation System for the treatment of AAA and began commercial sales in the United States in November 2012.

As a medical device company with little commercial operating history, the Company is subject to all of the risks and expenses associated with a growing company. The Company must, among other things, respond to competitive developments, attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, and support the expense of developing and marketing new products based on innovative technology.

In the course of its development activities, the Company has sustained significant operating losses. Even if development and marketing efforts are successful, substantial time may pass before significant revenues will be realized, and during this period, the Company will require additional funds, the availability of which cannot be reasonably assured. From inception through December 31, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $295.9 million and had been unable to generate positive cash flow from operations. The Company has been able to fund its operations to date through the sale of convertible preferred stock, its initial public offering (“IPO”) and debt financing. The Company’s management plans to expand commercial activities to grow revenues, manage expenses and obtain additional funds through the issuance of stock and additional debt. There can be no assurances that, in the event the Company requires additional financing, such financing will be available on terms which are favorable or at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital and reduce discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP) and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On April 22, 2014, the Company completed its IPO of 7,475,000 shares of common stock, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters in the offering of their option to purchase 975,000 additional shares of common stock, at an offering price of $12.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $81.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. In connection with the IPO, the Company’s outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into 11,601,860 shares of common stock and warrants exercisable for convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into warrants exercisable for 192,472 shares of common stock, resulting in the reclassification of the related redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability of $0.6 million to additional paid-in capital.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

Segment Information

The Company considers operating segments to be components of the Company in which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The chief operating decision maker for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about revenue by geographic region, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company has one business activity and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results or plans for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single reportable and operating segment structure. The Company and its Chief Executive Officer evaluate performance based primarily on revenue in the geographic locations in which the Company operates.

Revenues by geography are based on the billing address of the customer. The following table sets forth revenue by geographic area (in thousands):

 

     Years ended December 31,  
     2014      2013      2012  

 

United States (U.S.)

   $ 21,522       $ 10,623       $ 197   

International

     10,276         8,885         5,201   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

Total

   $ 31,798       $ 19,508       $ 5,398   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

The following table summarizes countries with revenues accounting for more than 10% of the total:

 

     Years ended December 31,  
     2014     2013     2012  

 

Germany

     —       12 %     34 %

Italy

     —       12 %     28 %

U.S.

     68 %     54 %     —  

 

* Amounts represent revenues accounting for less than 10%

Long-lived assets and operating income outside the U.S. are not material; therefore disclosures have been limited to revenue.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consists of demand deposit accounts and institutional money market funds held in U.S. and foreign banks. Cash equivalents consists of highly liquid investment securities with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less and can be exchanged for a known amount of cash to be cash equivalents.

Investments

At December 31, 2014, the Company’s investments consisted of investments, with maturities of longer than 90 days but less than a year based on expected maturity dates. They are classified as available for sale as the Company can liquidate their securities as needed, and changes in fair value between accounting periods are included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the balance sheet until the securities are sold. Discounts or premiums are amortized to interest income and other income (expense) net using the interest method.

 

8


Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount and do not include interest. The Company regularly reviews accounts for collectability and establishes an allowance for probable credit losses and writes off uncollectible accounts as necessary. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $72,000 and $0 at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Inventories

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost to purchase or manufacture the inventory or the market value for such inventory. Cost is determined using the standard cost method which approximates the first-in first-out method. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities in consideration of actual loss experiences, projected future demand, and remaining shelf life to record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory when appropriate.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents and investments. The majority of the Company’s cash is held by one financial institution in the United States in excess of federally insured limits. The Company held cash in foreign banks of approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which was not federally insured. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

Prior to 2013, the majority of the Company’s revenues had been derived from sales of its products in international markets, principally Europe. In most international markets in which the Company participates, the Company uses distributors to sell its products. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its distributors, does not require collateral, and maintains allowances for potential credit losses on customer accounts when deemed necessary.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, one customer accounted for 16.9% and 18% of the Company’s accounts receivable, respectively.

The Company’s products require approval from the FDA and certain international regulatory agencies prior to commencing commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company’s future products will receive all of these required approvals. If the Company is denied such approvals or such approvals are delayed, it may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and liquidity.

The Company is subject to risks common to early-stage medical device companies including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, uncertainty of market acceptance of products, product liability and the need to obtain additional financing.

The Company currently conducts all of its manufacturing, development and management activities at a single location in Santa Rosa, California, near known earthquake fault zones. The Company’s finished goods inventory is maintained in its Santa Rosa location and its third-party European distribution center in Belgium.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The depreciation and amortization periods for the Company’s property and equipment are as follows:

 

Equipment and software

     3 years   

Laboratory machinery and equipment

     3–5 years   

Furniture and fixtures

     5 years   

 

9


Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful lives or the remaining life of the lease. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized. Cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements and betterments are capitalized.

Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

On March 28, 2008, the Company acquired Boston Scientific Santa Rosa, or BSSR, (formerly known as TriVascular, Inc.), a business unit of Boston Scientific Corporation, a publically held global manufacturer of medical devices. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased BSSR, for approximately $38.0 million, resulting in goodwill of $8.3 million, which is the excess of the purchase price over the identifiable tangible and intangible assets. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company classifies goodwill and intangible assets into three categories: (1) goodwill; (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization; and (3) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. The Company assesses goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. For the purpose of testing goodwill for impairment, the Company has determined that it has one reporting unit.

The goodwill impairment assessment involves a two-step process. We first assess the book value and fair value of the Company to determine if an impairment of goodwill exists by reporting unit. A potential impairment exists if the fair value of the reporting unit is lower than its net book value. The second step of the process is only performed if a potential impairment exists, and it involves comparing the aggregate fair value of the reporting unit’s net assets, other than goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit as a whole. Goodwill is considered impaired, and an impairment charge is recorded, if the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of the net assets is less than the carrying value of goodwill. This evaluation requires use of internal business plans that are based on management’s judgments regarding future economic conditions, product demand and pricing, costs, inflation rates and discount rates, among other factors. These judgments and estimates involve inherent uncertainties, and the measurement of the fair value is dependent on the accuracy of the assumptions used in making the estimates and how those estimates compare to our future operating performance. There was no impairment of goodwill identified through December 31, 2014.

The fair value measurement of purchased intangible assets with indefinite lives involves the estimation of the fair value which is based on management assumptions about expected future cash flows, discount rates, growth rates, estimated costs and other factors which utilize historical data, internal estimates, and, in some cases, outside data. If the carrying value of the indefinite live intangible asset exceeds management’s estimate of fair value, the asset is impaired, and the Company is required to record an impairment charge which would negatively impact its operating results. There was no impairment of intangible assets with indefinite lives identified through December 31, 2014.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets of five years. Long-lived assets, including intangible assets, with definite lives and property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Such conditions may include an economic downturn or a change in the assessment of future operations. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset (or asset group) and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the amount that the carrying value of the asset (or asset group) exceeds its fair value. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported as a separate caption at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. There were no impairment charges, or changes in estimated useful lives recorded through December 31, 2014.

 

10


Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs, consisting of legal, accounting and other fees and costs relating to the IPO, are capitalized. The deferred offering costs were offset against the Company’s IPO proceeds upon the closing of the offering in April 2014. There was $0.7 million of deferred offering costs capitalized as of December 31, 2013 in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability

Freestanding warrants related to convertible preferred stock shares that are contingently redeemable are classified as a liability on the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The convertible preferred stock warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of interest income and other income (expense), net. The Company continued to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the completion of its IPO, at which time all redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants converted into warrants to purchase common stock and the liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met:

 

  persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

 

  the sales price is fixed or determinable;

 

  collection is reasonably assured; and

 

  delivery has occurred or services have been rendered.

For sales directly to hospitals or medical facilities, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of a procedure, which is when the product is implanted in a patient, and a valid purchase order has been received. For distributor sales, the Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment of product, as this represents the point that the customer has taken ownership and assumed risk of loss. The Company does not offer rights of return or price protection and has no post-delivery obligations.

Product Returns

The Company offers rights of exchange to distributors in limited circumstances for products with a short shelf life at the time of shipment. The allowance for sales returns is based on historical returned quantities as compared to Ovation shipments. The return rate is then applied to the sales for the current period to establish a reserve at the end of the period. The return rates used are adjusted for known or expected changes in the marketplace when appropriate. The Company’s allowance for product returns was $0.1 million and $0 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Actual product returns have not differed materially from the amounts reserved.

Medical Device Excise Tax

In accordance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, effective January 1, 2013, the Company began to incur a 2.3% excise tax on sales of medical devices in the U.S. The medical device excise tax is included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for fiscal year 2014 and 2013.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development, or R&D, costs, including new product development, regulatory compliance and clinical research, are charged to operations as incurred in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Such costs include personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, supplies, services, depreciation, allocated facilities and information services, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing expenses, fees paid to clinical research organizations and investigative sites and other indirect costs.

 

11


Advertising

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping costs incurred are included in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Income Taxes

The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or income tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, expected future events other than enactments or changes in the tax law or rates are considered. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to audit by various tax authorities. The Company provides for tax contingencies whenever it is deemed probable that a tax asset has been impaired or a tax liability has been incurred for events such as tax claims or changes in tax laws. Tax contingencies are based upon their technical merits, relative tax law, and the specific facts and circumstances as of each reporting period. Changes in facts and circumstances could result in material changes to the amounts recorded for such tax contingencies.

The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) a determination is made as to whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Other comprehensive (loss) income represents all changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) except those resulting from investments or contributions by stockholders. The Company’s other comprehensive (loss) income consists of its net loss and changes in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, which represents unrealized (losses) gains on investments and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Currency Translation

The Euro is the functional currency of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries in Italy and Germany and the Swiss Franc is the functional currency of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Switzerland. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars using the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and equity accounts are translated into United States dollars using historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchanges rates in effect when the transactions occur. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders’ deficit, on the consolidated balance sheets. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses have not been material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant and shares to be issued to employees under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and is impacted by its common stock price as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected common stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. For restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards, the fair value is determined based on the closing price on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of the award.

 

12


The fair value is recognized over the period during which services are rendered, known as the requisite service period on a straight-line basis for awards that vest based on service conditions. Stock-based compensation expense recognized at fair value includes the impact of estimated forfeitures. The Company estimates future forfeitures at the date of grant and revises the estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest. The fair value of options granted to consultants is expensed when vested. The non-employee stock-based compensation expense was not material for all periods presented.

Cash flows resulting from the tax benefits for tax deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options in excess of the compensation expense recorded for those options (excess tax benefits) are classified as cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows; however there were no cash flow impacts from excess tax benefits during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 or 2012.

Estimating the fair value of equity-settled awards as of the grant date using valuation models, such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model, is affected by assumptions regarding a number of complex variables. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the fair value and ultimately how much stock-based compensation expense is recognized. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. For valuations of all equity awards utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to date, the Company estimated the expected term and the volatility data based on a study of publicly traded industry peer companies and the Company’s actual experience since the IPO. For purposes of identifying these peer companies, the Company considered the industry, stage of development, size and financial leverage of potential comparable companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues similar in duration to the expected term of the equity-settled award.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares that were outstanding for the period, without consideration for potential common shares. Prior to April 22, 2014, the Company had convertible preferred stock, all of which converted into common stock at the closing of the IPO. Because the holders of the Company’s convertible preferred stock and its restricted common shares were entitled to participate in dividends and earnings of the Company when dividends are paid on common stock, the Company applies the two-class method in calculating its earnings per share for periods when the Company generates net income. The two-class method requires net income to be allocated between the common and preferred stockholders based on their respective rights to receive dividends, whether or not declared. Because the convertible preferred stock and restricted common stock were not contractually obligated to share in the Company’s losses, no such allocation was made for any period presented given the Company’s net losses. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted-average number of dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method or the as-converted method. Potentially dilutive shares are comprised of convertible preferred stock, convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants, shares purchased with nonrecourse loans and options outstanding under the Company’s equity incentive plans. Purchase rights granted pursuant to the Company’s ESPP are excluded from the basic net loss per share calculation because the employee’s participation in the ESPP is revocable, and such rights will not be included until the shares subject to the purchase rights are purchased by the employee. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to our net loss and potentially dilutive shares being anti-dilutive.

The following equity shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented (shares for the convertible preferred stock and convertible preferred stock warrants were determined based on the shares outstanding and applicable conversion ratios as of the end of the year):

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 provided guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. The updated standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to the disclosures around going concern. The new standard provides guidance around management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Other amendments to GAAP have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

4. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

The Company discloses and recognizes the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

 

Level 1   Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2   Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;
Level 3   Inputs that are unobservable.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.

Based upon Level 2 inputs and the borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms, the Company believes that the fair value of its notes payable approximates its carrying value. The fair value of the Company’s Series C and D convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities (described in Notes 10 and 12 below) were based on Level 3 inputs. The Company valued the Series C convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities and the Series D convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities using the Black-Scholes model as well as the residual value approach as described in Note 12.

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on the consolidated balance sheets were $8.3million and $1.2 million, respectively, for all periods presented. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $0 and $35,000, respectively.

7. Related Party Transactions

In April 2010, the Company loaned $150,000 with an annual interest rate of 2.7% to an executive officer. The loan required annual principal payments in the amount of $37,500. The outstanding balance on the loan was $0, and $37,500 at December 31, 2014 and, 2013, respectively. The amount was included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013.

In January 2011, the Company entered into a loan agreement with an executive officer in the amount of $705,000 for the exercise of 49,642 stock options. The terms of the note included an annual rate of 1.95% with annual compounding based on a 360 day year, and annual interest only payments beginning in 2012. On January 1, 2013, the interest rate was decreased to 0.87% per annum, with all other terms and provisions the same. The first scheduled interest payment on the note in the amount of $14,000 was converted into principal in February 2012. The note was collateralized by the underlying stock and was 75% nonrecourse. For accounting purposes, the note was accounted for as nonrecourse in its entirety and was considered as a stock option as the substance was similar to the grant of an option. Accordingly, the note and underlying stock were not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, though it was presented as a stock option in Note 13, Equity Incentive Plan. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the consolidated balance sheets reflect $0, and $13,000, respectively in accrued interest receivable recorded within other assets. Principal payments in the amount of $10,000 were to be made annually beginning at the end of 2014 with the final principal due in January 2018.

In September 2012, the Company entered into loan agreements with three executive officers in the amount of $150,000, $1,086,000 and $218,000 for the exercise of stock options totaling 597,195. The terms of the notes included an annual rate of 0.88% with annual compounding based on a 360 day year, and annual interest only payments beginning in 2013. The notes were due in full on the fifth anniversary of their issuance. The notes were collateralized by the underlying stock and were 50% nonrecourse. For accounting purposes, the notes were considered fully non-recourse with the stock options treated as outstanding, therefore, the notes and related stock were not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the consolidated balance sheets reflect $0 and $4,000 in accrued interest receivable within other assets for all three notes.

In February and March 2014, all of the above loans to executive officers were satisfied and extinguished. The April 2010 and September 2012 notes along with accrued interest were repaid in cash resulting in aggregate proceeds of $1,497,435 inclusive of accrued interest of $6,238. The January 2011 note was extinguished with the surrender of the underlying collateral shares to satisfy the loan. The difference between the carrying amount of the loan and the value of the collateral shares was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of the note and the underlying shares were kept in treasury until retired to authorized, unissued by resolution of the board of directors in April 2014.

8. Distribution Agreement

On January 1, 2014, the Company entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Century Medical, Inc. (“Century”) with respect to the anticipated distribution of the Company’s Ovation medical devices in Japan. Under the terms of a secured note purchase agreement, Century agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $6.0 million, with principal due in January 2019, under the agreement, subject to certain

 

17


conditions. Under this facility, the Company received $4.0 million on January 10, 2014 and received the remaining $2.0 million on March 18, 2014 as the Company had achieved trailing 12-month revenues of $20 million and no material adverse event had occurred. The notes bear 5% annual interest which is payable quarterly in arrears through January 9, 2019, the maturity date when the entire principal balance becomes due. In return for the loan commitment, the Company granted Century distribution rights to the Company’s planned Ovation product line in Japan, and a right of first negotiation for distribution rights in Japan to future products. Century will be responsible for securing regulatory approval from the Ministry of Health in Japan for the Ovation product lines.

Proceeds from the note and granting the distribution rights were allocated to the note based on its aggregate fair value of $3.0 million at the dates of receipt. This fair value was determined by discounting cash flows using a discount rate of 15%, which the Company estimated as market rate of borrowing that could be obtained by companies with credit risk similar to the Company’s. The remainder of the proceeds of $3.0 million was recognized as debt issuance discount and allocated to the value of the distribution rights granted to Century under the Distribution Agreement. It is included in deferred revenue in other long term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred revenue will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Distribution Agreement, beginning upon the first sale by Century of the Ovation products in Japan.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company leased its corporate facility under a non-cancelable operating sublease from Boston Scientific Corporation, which expired in March 2013. In December 2011, the Company amended its facility lease extending the term of the lease through March 2018. Pursuant to the amendment, effective March 1, 2013, Boston Scientific Corporation assigned its lease on the facility directly to the Company. The Company also has small office leases in its subsidiary locations. Facility lease expense was $1,140,000, $1,100,000 and $1,006,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. In addition to the lease obligation, the Company pays for common area maintenance and insurance for the facility. The Company also has various office equipment leases for copiers and postage machines.

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. There were no contingent liabilities requiring accrual at December 31, 2014 or 2013.

 

18


Employment Agreements

The Company enters into employment agreements with its executive officers. The contracts do not have a fixed term and are constructed on an at-will basis. Some of these contracts provide executives with the right to receive certain additional payments and benefits after a change in control, as defined in such agreements.

Indemnification

The Company enters into standard indemnification arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with any trade secret, copyright, patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made.

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual.

The Company has not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. No liability associated with such indemnifications has been recorded to date.

10. Notes Payable

Century Medical, Inc. Subordinated Loan

In connection with the Distribution Agreement with Century (see Note 8), the Company entered into a secured note purchase agreement and a related security agreement, pursuant to which Century agreed to loan to the Company up to an aggregate of $6.0 million, which was received in the quarter ended March 31, 2014. These notes bear 5% annual interest which is payable quarterly in arrears on the last business day of March, June, September and December of each year through January 9, 2019, the maturity date when the total $6.0 million of principal becomes due. The debt issuance discount of approximately $3.0 million is reflected as a reduction in long-term debt and is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest method. The loan contains various affirmative and negative covenants and customary events of default, including if a material adverse change occurs with respect to the Company’s business, operations or financial condition, and is subordinated to the Company’s term loan with Capital Royalty.

The Company made interest payments of approximately $274,000 in the year ended December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all its covenants.

On November 4, 2014, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Loan Agreement with Century primarily to conform certain terms of the existing term loan agreement between the Company and Century to those of the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement with Capital Royalty.

Capital Royalty Term Loan

In October 2012 the Company executed a Term Loan Agreement with Capital Royalty Partners II L.P. and its affiliate Parallel Investment Opportunities Partners II L.P. (collectively “Capital Royalty”) for up to a $50 million term loan to be used to pay off the Company’s existing Senior Notes (defined below) and to fund operations. The loan could be drawn in two tranches. The first tranche in the amount of $40 million was drawn in October 2012. The second tranche in the amount of $10 million could be drawn prior to April 30, 2014 subject to the Company’s achievement of $20.0 million in annualized U.S. revenue measured on a consecutive three month period before April 30, 2014. The loan bore interest at a rate of 14.0%, based upon a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. Prior to September 30, 2017, the Company could, at its election, pay the interest as follows: 11.5% per annum paid in cash and 2.5% per annum paid in-kind in the form of additional term loans, or PIK Loans. Payments under the loan were made on a quarterly basis with payment dates fixed at the end of each calendar quarter (“Payment Dates”). Beginning December 31, 2012, the Company elected the paid-in-kind interest option, issuing PIK loans

 

19


totaling $1,157,000, $1,028,000 and $175,000 in the years ending December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The notes were interest-only through the 14 th Payment Date (March 31, 2016) following funding if the second tranche was not drawn. Following the interest-only period principal payments were to be made in equal installments at the end of the six subsequent calendar quarters if the second tranche was not drawn. The notes matured on the 20 th Payment Date (September 30, 2017). In connection with the loan, the Company paid a loan origination fee of 1% and issued warrants to purchase 167,611 shares of Common Stock at $0.41 per share, as described further in Note 12. The initial fair value of the warrant was $496,000 and resulted in a discount to the notes payable, which is being accreted to interest income and other income (expense), net in the statements of comprehensive loss over the life of the loan.

On November 4, 2014, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement with Capital Royalty amending the original term loan. In connection with this amendment, the Company increased borrowings under the facility by drawing down $10 million upon closing of the transaction on November 21, 2014. Additionally, subject to the achievement of certain revenue milestones, the Company has an option to access up to an additional $15 million on or before December 31, 2015.

The Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement primarily amended the terms of the original term loan agreement to increase the borrowing amount, reduce the applicable interest rate from 14.0% to 12.5%, extend the interest only payment period through September 30, 2018 and extend the final maturity date to June 30, 2020. Interest is payable, at the Company’s option, (i) in cash at a rate of 12.5% per annum or (ii) 9.0% of the 12.5% per annum in cash and 3.5% of the 12.5% per annum being added to the principal of the loan and subject to accruing interest. Interest-only payments are due quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year of the interest-only payment period. Thereafter, in addition to interest accrued during the period, the quarterly payments shall include an amount equal to the outstanding principal at September 30, 2018 divided by the remaining number of quarters prior to the end of the term of the loan which is June 30, 2020. The Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement provides for prepayment fees of 4% of the outstanding balance of the loan if the loan is repaid prior to September 30, 2015. The prepayment fee is reduced by 1% per year for each subsequent year.

Certain affirmative and negative covenants were also amended to provide the Company with additional flexibility. The principal financial covenants require that the Company attain minimum annual revenues of $30.0 million in 2015, $45.0 million in 2016, $60.0 million in 2017, $75.0 million in 2018 and $90.0 million thereafter. The loan and security agreement provides that an event of default will occur if, among other triggers, (1) the Company defaults in the payment of any amount payable under the agreement when due, (2) there occurs any circumstance or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations or condition, or on the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under the agreement, (3) the Company becomes insolvent, (4) the Company undergoes a change in control or (5) the Company breaches any negative covenants or certain affirmative covenants in the agreement or, subject to a cure period, otherwise neglects to perform or observe any material item in the agreement. The repayment of the term loan may be accelerated, at the option of Capital Royalty, following the occurrence of an event of default, which would require the Company to pay to Capital Royalty an amount equal to the sum of: (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued interest, (ii) the final payment, plus (iii) all other sums, that shall have become due and payable but have not been paid, including interest at the default rate with respect to any past due amounts plus the Prepayment Premium.

The term loan, as amended, continues to be collateralized by a first priority security interest on all of the Company’s assets excluding property not assignable without consent by a third party, trademarks that would be invalid by reason of including it in the collateral and 35% of the ownership interest in a foreign subsidiary.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants.

Bridge Notes

In February 2012, the Company issued convertible bridge notes to certain of its convertible preferred stock holders providing the Company with net proceeds of $7.2 million. The holders of the bridge notes were entitled to receive convertible preferred stock warrants, initially exercisable for the Company’s Series C convertible preferred stock, equal to 25% of the principal amount of the notes. Upon closing of a Qualified Financing, defined as a financing of not less than $25 million, the notes and accrued interest automatically converted into shares of the

 

20


equity issued in the Qualified Financing at the purchase price paid by investors for the equity securities of such round. Following a Qualified Financing, the bridge note warrants became exercisable for shares of the equity issued in that financing. On April 24, 2012, the Company amended the February bridge notes to provide additional proceeds of $4.0 million.

In June 2012, the Company entered into a Series D convertible preferred stock Purchase Agreement (“Series D Agreement”) upon closing the Series D financing, the bridge notes and accrued interest, in the amount of $167,000, were converted into shares of Series D convertible preferred stock and the note holders received warrants to purchase 7,161,829 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock at an exercise price of $0.3896 per share (the “Series D Warrants”).

The Company bifurcated the Series D convertible preferred stock warrants from the bridge notes. The Company recorded a $477,000 and $82,200 warrant liability on the dates of issuance and amendment of the bridge notes, respectively, with an offsetting discount on the bridge notes. The warrant liabilities were measured at fair value each reporting period and included in the other long-term liabilities line on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets prior to their conversion into common stock warrants upon the Company’s IPO in April 2014. Changes in fair value were ($598,000), ($129,000), and $777,000 during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was recorded in interest income and other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, until their conversion into common stock warrants upon the Company’s IPO in April 2014 of $610,000. The valuation of these warrants is discussed in Note 12.

Pinnacle Senior Notes

In May, 2011, the Company amended its Loan and Security Agreement (the “Senior Notes”) with Pinnacle Ventures, L.L.C. (“Pinnacle”), to increase the amount available from $15 million to $20 million to be used in conjunction with its existing cash to fund operations. The loan bore interest at the Prime Rate determined as of the date of the loan (advance) plus seven hundred seventy-five (775) basis points. In connection with this loan the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 409,090 shares of its Series C convertible preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share, subject to certain exercisability restrictions and warrants to purchase 35,780 shares of common stock exercisable at $12.58 per share.

The Company granted Pinnacle a conversion right to convert $5.0 million of the note into Series C convertible preferred stock at a price of $1.10 per share. On May 19, 2011, the Company drew the entire $20 million available under the credit facility. The Senior Notes were paid in full on October 30, 2012, before the end of the contractual term. In connection with the final payment, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $3.1 million in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, which included all unamortized discounts and the previously unrecognized portion of the final payment fee.

The Company bifurcated the convertible preferred stock warrants and embedded derivatives related to make-whole provision from the Senior Notes as required by ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.” The Company recorded the fair value of the Series C convertible preferred stock warrants of $258,000 and the fair value of the make-whole provision of $278,000 on the date of issuance of the Senior Notes as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet with an offsetting discount of $536,000 to the Senior Notes. The derivative/warrant liabilities were measured at fair value each reporting period prior to their conversion into common stock warrants upon the Company’s IPO in April 2014. Changes in fair value were ($35,000), ($15,000) and $374,000 during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, and was recorded in interest and was recorded in interest income and other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, until their conversion into common stock warrants upon the Company’s IPO in April 2014 of $37,000. The change in the fair value of the Series C convertible preferred stock warrant liability and the make-whole provision derivative were recorded in interest income and other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The valuation of these warrants is discussed in Note 12.

The total discount on the Senior Notes was amortized over the life of the Senior Notes, using the effective interest method. Interest expense attributable to discount amortization totaled $151,000 in 2012. The Senior Notes also included a final payment fee equal to 5% of the amount drawn. The final payment fee was being accrued over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. Interest expense attributable to the accrual of the final payment fee totaled $281,000 in 2012.

Boston Scientific Corporation Note Payable

In conjunction with the acquisition of BSSR, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $3,487,000 to the prior owners of BSSR as part of the purchase consideration. The note bore an interest rate of 5.25% per annum and matured on March 28, 2018. The note (along with unpaid accrued interest) was repayable upon the earlier of (a) the date upon which initial public offering is consummated, or (b) the sale of the Company, including liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The Company had the right to prepay the unpaid principal at any time without any premium or prepayment penalty. As of December 31, 2013, the Company included $1,055,000 of accrued interest in the notes payable line on the accompanying balance sheet.

The Company repaid the note in full, including all accrued interest and the unamortized debt discount, subsequent to the closing of the IPO in April 2014. Warrants to purchase up to 223,487 shares of common stock expired unexercised upon the IPO in April 2014.

11. Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock

In February 2014, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation effecting a reverse stock split within a specified range with the final ratio to be determined by a committee of the board of directors. In March 2014, the committee of the board of directors approved a 1-for-40.57 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock and the corresponding adjustments to the conversion ratio of the convertible preferred stock. The reverse split was implemented on April 1, 2014. The par value of the common and convertible preferred stock was not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. All issued and outstanding share and per share amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split for all periods presented.

Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company had authorized 401,334,139 shares of convertible preferred stock prior to the IPO, of which 393,432,624 shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2013, designated in series, with the rights and preferences of each designated series to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Voting Rights

The holders of preferred stock were entitled to vote on all matters on which the common stockholders were entitled to vote. Holders of preferred and common stock voted together as a single class. Each holder of preferred stock was entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of common stock shares into which the shared held by such holder are convertible. Preferred stock also has certain special protective voting rights.

Dividends

The holders of preferred stock were entitled to receive noncumulative dividends, out of any assets legally available, to the same extent and on the same basis and contemporaneously with, cash dividends as declared by the Board of Directors with respect to the common stock equal to amounts that would have been received by the holders of the same number of shares of common stock into which Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E preferred stock was convertible. No dividends had been declared prior to the IPO.

Liquidation

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of the Series D and Series E convertible preferred stock were entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of shares of Series A, Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock and common stock an amount per share equal to $0.3896 for each share of Series D or Series E convertible preferred stock (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or other recapitalizations), plus all declared and unpaid dividends, if any. After Series D and Series E convertible preferred stock received its consideration as described in the forgoing, Series A, Series B, and Series C convertible preferred stock was entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of shares of common stock, an amount per share equal to $1.00 for each outstanding share of Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock, and $1.10 for Series C convertible preferred stock (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or other recapitalizations), plus all declared but unpaid dividends, if any on such share of preferred stock. If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the holders of the preferred stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amounts above, then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the convertible preferred stock.

Convertible Preferred Stock Participation Rights

After payment of the full preferential amounts to the convertible preferred stockholders, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution or the remaining consideration received in a liquidation transaction would have been distributed ratably among the holders of the convertible preferred and common stockholders in proportion to the number of shares held by them with the shares of convertible preferred stock being treated as if they had been

 

23


converted to shares of common stock at the then applicable conversion rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate distributions made to the convertible preferred stockholders were not to exceed four times in the case of Series A convertible preferred stock and three times in the case of Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E convertible preferred stock their respective liquidation preferences, plus any declared but unpaid dividends.

Conversion

The shares of Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E preferred stock were convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock, at the option of the holder, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, such as in the event of a private placement at an offering price below the price of our Series E convertible preferred stock offering. The Series D convertible preferred stock was issued at a price per share lower than the issuance price per share of the Series A, Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock, triggering the anti-dilution adjustment of the conversion ratios into common stock of Series A, Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock. The issuance price triggering the anti-dilution adjustments was reset to the Series D issuance price at the time of the Series D financing and to the Series E issuance price at the time of the Series E financing.

The conversion ratios as of December 31, 2013 were as follows:

 

Series A and B convertible preferred stock

     1 to 26.00   

Series C convertible preferred stock

     1 to 25.64   

Series D convertible preferred stock

     1 to 40.57   

Series E convertible preferred stock

     1 to 40.57   

Balance Sheet Presentation

Prior to the conversion in the IPO in April 2014, the holders of the outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock had liquidation preference rights with respect to distributions of assets in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the merger or consolidation of the Company, or upon the sale of more than 50% of the voting power of the Company. The holders of these preferred shares had voting rights to effect a change in control that would trigger such distribution preferences. Accordingly, all shares of convertible preferred stock were presented outside of permanent equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented until their conversion in the IPO in April 2014.

Preferred Stock

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended in connection with the IPO, authorizes the Company to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. The board of directors has the authority to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of any such preferred stock in one or more series. As of December 31, 2014, no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

On April 22, 2014, the Company completed its IPO of 7,475,000 shares of common stock, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters in the offering of their option to purchase 975,000 additional shares of common stock, at an offering price of $12.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $81.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. In connection with the IPO, the Company’s outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into 11,601,860 shares of common stock and warrants exercisable for convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into warrants exercisable for 192,472 shares of common stock, resulting in the reclassification of the related redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability of $0.6 million to additional paid-in capital.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended in connection with the IPO, authorizes the Company to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock. Prior to this, the Certificate of Incorporation authorized the Company to issue up to 623,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock. The holders of common stock are entitled to dividends when and if declared by the board of directors. There have been no dividends declared to date. The holder of each common share is entitled to one vote.

13. Equity Incentive Plans

In April 2014, the Company adopted the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). A total of 500,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP, subject to certain annual adjustments. The initial offering under the ESPP commenced on the IPO date and has a duration of approximately 24 months, consisting of four approximately six-month purchase periods. The first purchase period ended on October 31, 2014 when 82,226 shares were purchased at a specified discount. The Company recorded amounts that had been withheld from employees for the second purchase period of $220,000 in accrued liabilities and other at December 31, 2014.

Eligible employee may contribute, normally through payroll deductions, up to 15% of their earnings for the purchase of common stock under the ESPP. The purchase price of common stock under the ESPP will be the lesser of: (a) 85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the first date of an offering or (b) 85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of purchase.

In April 2014, the Company adopted the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). A total of 2,750,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the 2014 Plan, subject to certain annual adjustments. The 2014 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, RSUs and other equity awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Options granted under the 2014 Plan may be either incentive stock options (“ISOs”) or nonqualified stock options (“NSOs”). ISOs may be granted only to Company employees while NSOs may be granted to all eligible recipients.

In connection with the IPO, the 2008 Plan terminated in April 2014, and no further grants may be made from the 2008 Plan, while previously granted options continue in accordance with their respective terms. Any cancelled options from the 2008 Plan are released from the reserves. As of December 31, 2014, there were 1,394,127 shares of common stock subject to remaining outstanding options under the 2008 Plan.

Options under the 2014 and 2008 Plans have terms of up to ten years. The exercise price of an ISO may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant; the exercise price for an NSO may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant and the exercise price of an ISO or an NSO granted to a more than 10% shareholder may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Options become exercisable as determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors.

In August 2012, the Company’s unvested outstanding options totaling 294,719 shares were repriced to $2.43 per share. The remaining contractual provisions including the term and vesting schedule of the repriced options remained unchanged. The incremental cost of the repriced options was $259,000, with $156,000 and $103,000 being recognized as expense in 2013 and 2012, respectively in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Options granted under the 2008 Plan and 2014 Plan include provisions permitting exercise of the option prior to full vesting. Any unvested (but issued) common shares so purchased are subject to repurchase by the Company at the original exercise price of the option upon termination of service. The proceeds initially are recorded as a refundable deposit within accrued liabilities and other and are reclassified into stockholder’s deficit on a ratable basis as the awards vest. The restricted shares issued upon early exercise of stock options are legally issued and outstanding. However, these restricted shares are only deemed outstanding for basic earnings per share computation purposes upon the respective repurchase rights lapsing. During 2012 and 2013, except for the option exercises in connection with stock loans as described in Note 7, no shares were early exercised. As of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, early exercised unvested shares were 214,605, 0 and 497, respectively. As discussed in Note 7, Related Party Transactions, all of the Company’s early exercised stock options totaling 646,837 are included in the following tables.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised under the 2008 and 2014 Plans was $6,843,000, ($13,000) and ($23,000) for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, determined as of the date of option exercise. The 2008 and 2014 Plans provide for early exercise, depending on permissions granted by the board of directors at the time of grant, therefore all the Company’s outstanding stock options are exercisable subject to certain limitations as described in the Plan.

There were 6,500 RSU awards granted in 2014 at a grant date fair value of $13.41 per share. None were vested at December 31, 2014.

Stock-Based Compensation

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company granted stock options and RSUs to employees to purchase 846,112 shares of common stock under the 2008 and 2014 Plans with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $6.47 per share. As of December 31, 2014, there was total unrecognized compensation costs of $5.5 million. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.0 years.

The following table sets forth stock-based compensation expense related to all stock-based arrangements for the periods presented (in thousands):

The Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted in 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $6.42 $3.95 and $1.22, respectively. The fair value of employee stock options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The fair value of RSU awards is determined based on the closing market price on the grant date of the award. The outstanding options generally vest 25% on the first anniversary of the original grant date, with the balance vesting monthly over the remaining three years. The outstanding options granted to the U.S. sales force generally vest 33% on the second anniversary of the original vesting start date, 33% on the third anniversary and the balance on the fourth anniversary.

The assumptions used in the Black–Scholes option pricing model are as follows:

 

     Stock Options     ESPP  
     Years ended December 31,     Year Ended
December 31,
 
     2014     2013     2012     2014  

 

Expected term (years)

     5.3       5.4       5.3       1.3  

Expected volatility

     59.71 %     59.95 %     61.51     59.54

Risk-free interest rate

     1.62 %     1.24 %     0.70     0.20

Dividend yield

     0 %     0 %     0     0

Expected Term. The expected term of stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. The Company estimated the expected term based on the average expected term used by a peer group of publicly traded medical device companies.

Expected Volatility. Since there has been no public market for the Company’s common stock prior to its IPO and lack of company-specific historical volatility, the Company has determined the share price volatility for options granted based on an analysis of the volatility used by a peer group of publicly traded medical device companies and, since the IPO, the Company’s actual experience. In evaluating similarity, the Company considers factors such as industry, stage of life cycle and size.

 

28


Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with remaining terms similar to the expected term of the options.

Dividend Rate. The expected dividend was assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid dividends and has no current plans to do so.

Expected Forfeiture Rate. The Company is required to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant, and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. To the extent actual forfeitures differ from the estimates, the difference will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period that the estimates are revised. Based on an analysis of the Company’s historical data, the Company applied average forfeiture rates of 5.8% for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Fair Value of Common Stock. The fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock options had historically been determined by the board of directors prior to the Company’s IPO by considering a number of objective and subjective factors including valuation of comparable companies, sales of convertible preferred stock to unrelated third parties, operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of capital stock and general and industry specific economic outlook, amongst other factors. Since the IPO in April 2014, the Company determines the fair value of the shares of common stock for any equity incentive plans based on the closing price that the stock is trading at on the public market on the date of grant.

Restricted Stock Units

Following its IPO, the Company plans to begin granting other equity incentive awards, such as RSUs, to its employees and service providers. RSUs are awards that cover a number of shares of our common stock that may be settled upon vesting by the issuance of the underlying shares. These awards are subject to forfeiture prior to settlement because of termination of employment or failure to achieve certain performance conditions, and may contain settlement deferral features. The Company expects that RSUs it will utilize for its executives and employees, generally, will vest as to 25% on a specified date within the calendar quarter nearest to the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and as to additional 25% on the second, third and fourth such anniversaries. The Company expects that RSUs it will utilize for its U.S. sales force, generally, will vest as to 50% on a specified date within the calendar quarter nearest to the second anniversary of the vesting commencement date, as to 25% on the third such anniversary and as to the remaining 25% on the fourth such anniversary. As of December 31, 2014 the Company had awarded 6,500 RSUs to a member of the U.S. sales force.

14. Income Taxes

Significant components of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are shown below. A valuation allowance has been recorded to offset the net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, as the realization of such assets does not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold. The following table shows our net deferred taxes as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

Due to uncertainties surrounding the realization of deferred tax assets through future taxable income, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance and, therefore, has not recognized any benefits from the net operating losses and other deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance increased $21.4 million during both of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Recognition of deferred tax assets is appropriate when realization of such assets is more likely than not. Based upon the weight of available evidence, the Company believes it is not yet more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realizable. Accordingly, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets for each of the years presented.

The reconciliation between the statutory federal income tax and the Company’s effective tax rate as a percentage of loss before income taxes is as follows:

 

     Years ended December 31,  
     2014     2013     2012

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $263.4 million and $179.5 million available to reduce future taxable income, if any, for Federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. The net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2028.

The Company has not provided for deferred U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries that the Company intends to reinvest indefinitely outside the United States. Should the Company distribute or be treated under certain U.S. tax rules as having distributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be subject to U.S. income taxes. Due to complexities in tax laws and various assumptions that would have to be made, it is not practicable at this time to estimate the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. taxes on these earnings.

 

30


At December 31, 2014, the Company also had Federal and California research and development credit carry-forwards of approximately $2.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The Federal credit carry-forward will begin to expire in 2028 if not utilized. The California credits have no expiration date.

Utilization of the net operating loss carryforward may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership percentage change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as well as similar state and foreign provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of net operating loss and R&D credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders. Since the Company’s formation, the Company has raised capital through the issuance of capital stock on several occasions, which, on its own or combined with the purchasing stockholders’ subsequent disposition of those shares, have resulted in such an ownership change, and could result in an ownership change in the future.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the unrecognized tax benefit was $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, all of which would result in corresponding adjustments to valuation allowance. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefit is as follows (in thousands):

 

     Years ended December 31,  
     2014      2013  

 

Balance at the beginning of the year

   $ 1,579       $ 1,145   

Additions related to current year tax positions

     351         434   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Balance at the end of the year

   $ 1,930       $ 1,579   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2014, there were no significant accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company’s primary tax jurisdiction is the United States. The Company’s tax years 2008 through 2013 remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities for three and four years, respectively, from the date of utilization of any operating loss or R&D credits carry-forwards. In addition, federal and state taxing authorities may challenge the carryover of prior year tax attributes when they are used to offset taxable income in future years.

15. Employee Benefits

The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) plan for employees who are at least 21 years of age. Employees are eligible to participate in the plan beginning on the first day of the calendar month following their date of hire. Under the terms of the plan, employees may make voluntary contributions as a percent of compensation. The Company does not provide a matching contribution.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

1. The Company

TriVascular Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in July 2007 and began operations on March 28, 2008. The Company is a medical device company developing and commercializing innovative technologies to significantly advance minimally invasive treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (“AAA”). The Ovation® System, the Company’s solution for the treatment of AAA through minimally invasive endovascular aortic repair (“EVAR”), is a new stent graft platform, providing an innovative and effective alternative to conventional devices. It is designed specifically to address many of the limitations associated with conventional EVAR devices and expand the pool of patients eligible for EVAR. The Company received CE Mark clearance in August 2010 and began commercial sales of its Ovation System in Europe in September 2010. In October 2012, the Company received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the Ovation System for the treatment of AAA and began commercial sales in the United States in November 2012.

As a medical device company with little commercial operating history, the Company is subject to all of the risks and expenses associated with a growing company. The Company must, among other things, respond to competitive developments, attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, and support the expense of developing and marketing new products based on innovative technology. In the course of its development activities, the Company has sustained significant operating losses. Even if development and marketing efforts are successful, substantial time may pass before significant revenues will be realized, and during this period, the Company will require additional funds, the availability of which cannot be reasonably assured.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These financial statements include the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The interim financial data as of June 30, 2015, is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year or any interim period. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the interim data includes all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The December 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2015.

On April 22, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 7,475,000 shares of common stock, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters in the offering of their option to purchase 975,000 additional shares of common stock, at an offering price of $12.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $81.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. In connection with the IPO, the Company’s outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into 11,601,860 shares of common stock and warrants exercisable for convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into warrants exercisable for 192,472 shares of common stock, resulting in the reclassification of the related redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability of $0.6 million to additional paid-in capital.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

Segment Information

The Company considers operating segments to be components of the Company in which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The chief operating decision maker for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about revenue by geographic region, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company has one business activity and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results or plans for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single reportable and operating segment structure. The Company and its Chief Executive Officer evaluate performance based primarily on revenue in the geographic locations in which the Company operates.

Revenues by geography are based on the billing address of the customer. The following table sets forth revenue by geographic area (in thousands):

The U.S. is the only country with revenues accounting for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, revenues in the U.S. represented 72% and 66%, respectively, while in the six months ended June 30, 2015, revenues in the U.S. represented 71% and 66%, respectively.

Long-lived assets and operating income outside the U.S. are not material; therefore disclosures have been limited to revenue.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposit accounts and institutional money market funds held in U.S. and foreign banks. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investment securities with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less and can be exchanged for a known amount of cash.

Investments

At June 30, 2015, the Company’s investments consisted of investments, with maturities of longer than 90 days from the date of purchase but less than a year based on expected maturity dates. They are classified as available for sale as the Company can liquidate their securities as needed, and changes in fair value between accounting periods are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet until the securities are sold. Discounts or premiums are amortized to interest income and other expense, net using the interest method.

 

5


Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount and do not include interest. The Company regularly reviews accounts for collectability and establishes an allowance for probable credit losses and writes off uncollectible accounts as necessary. The Company recorded an allowance of doubtful accounts of $111,000 and $72,000 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Inventories

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost to purchase or manufacture the inventory or the market value for such inventory. Cost is determined using the standard cost method which approximates the first-in first-out method. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities in consideration of actual loss experiences, projected future demand, and remaining shelf life to record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory when appropriate.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The depreciation and amortization periods for the Company’s property and equipment are as follows:

 

Equipment and software

   3 years

Laboratory machinery and equipment

   3–5 years

Furniture and fixtures

   5 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful lives or the remaining life of the lease. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized. Cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements and betterments are capitalized.

Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

The Company has recorded goodwill and intangible assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company classifies intangible assets into three categories: (1) goodwill; (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization; and (3) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. The Company assesses goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. For the purpose of testing goodwill for impairment, the Company has determined that it has one reporting unit.

Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability

Freestanding warrants related to convertible preferred stock shares that are contingently redeemable were classified as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013. The convertible preferred stock warrants were subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value was recognized as a component of interest income and other expense, net. The Company continued to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the completion of the IPO in April 2014, at which time all redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants were converted into warrants to purchase common stock and the liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. See Note 5.

Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met:

 

  persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

 

6


  the sales price is fixed or determinable;

 

  collection of the relevant receivable is probable at the time of sale; and

 

  delivery has occurred or services have been rendered.

For sales directly to hospitals or medical facilities, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of a procedure, which is when the product is implanted in a patient, and a valid purchase order has been received. For distributor sales, the Company recognizes revenue at the time of shipment of product, as this represents the point that the customer has taken ownership and assumed risk of loss. The Company does not offer rights of return or price protection and has no post-delivery obligations. The Company offers rights of exchange in limited circumstances for products with a short shelf life at the time of shipment, and has established a $0.1 million reserve for such exchanges included in accrued liabilities and other on the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Income Taxes

The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or income tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, expected future events other than enactments or changes in the tax law or rates are considered. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to audit by various tax authorities. The Company provides for tax contingencies whenever it is deemed probable that a tax asset has been impaired or a tax liability has been incurred for events such as tax claims or changes in tax laws. Tax contingencies are based upon their technical merits, relative tax law, and the specific facts and circumstances as of each reporting period. Changes in facts and circumstances could result in material changes to the amounts recorded for such tax contingencies.

The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) a determination is made as to whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

Other Comprehensive Loss

Other comprehensive loss represents all changes in stockholders’ equity except those resulting from investments or contributions by stockholders. The Company’s other comprehensive loss consists of its net loss and changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which represents unrealized gains (losses) on investments and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Currency Translation

The Euro is the functional currency of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries in Italy and Germany, the Swiss Franc is the functional currency of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Switzerland and the Canadian Dollar is the functional currency of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Canada. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars using the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and equity accounts are translated into United States dollars using historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchanges rates in effect when the transactions occur. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders’ equity, on the consolidated balance sheets. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses have not been material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

 

7


Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant and shares to be issued to employees under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and is impacted by its common stock price as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected common stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. For restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards, the fair value is determined based on the closing price on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of the award.

The fair value is recognized over the period during which services are rendered, known as the requisite service period on a straight-line basis for awards that vest based on service conditions. Stock-based compensation expense recognized at fair value includes the impact of estimated forfeitures. The Company estimates future forfeitures at the date of grant and revises the estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest. The fair value of options granted to consultants is expensed when vested. The non-employee stock-based compensation expense was not material for all periods presented.

Cash flows resulting from the tax benefits for tax deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options in excess of the compensation expense recorded for those options (excess tax benefits) are classified as cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows; however there were no cash flow impacts from excess tax benefits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.

Estimating the fair value of equity-settled awards as of the grant date using valuation models, such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model, is affected by assumptions regarding a number of complex variables. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the fair value and ultimately how much stock-based compensation expense is recognized. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. For valuations of all equity awards utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to date, the Company estimated the expected term and the volatility data based on a study of publicly traded industry peer companies and the Company’s actual experience since the IPO. For purposes of identifying these peer companies, the Company considered the industry, stage of development, size and financial leverage of potential comparable companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues similar in duration to the expected term of the equity-settled award.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares that were outstanding for the period, without consideration for potential common shares. Prior to April 22, 2014, the Company had convertible preferred stock, all of which converted into common stock at the closing of the IPO. Because the holders of the Company’s convertible preferred stock and its restricted common shares were entitled to participate in dividends and earnings of the Company when dividends are paid on common stock, the Company would have applied the two-class method in calculating its earnings per share for periods when the Company generates net income. The two-class method requires net income to be allocated between the common and preferred stockholders based on their respective rights to receive dividends, whether or not declared. Because the convertible preferred stock and restricted common stock were not contractually obligated to share in the Company’s losses, no such allocation was made for any period presented given the Company’s net losses. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted-average number of dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method or the as-converted method. Potentially dilutive shares are comprised of convertible preferred stock, convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants, shares purchased with nonrecourse loans and options outstanding under the Company’s equity incentive plans. Purchase rights granted pursuant to the Company’s ESPP are excluded from the basic net loss per share calculation because the employee’s participation in the ESPP is revocable, and such rights will not be included until the shares subject to the purchase rights are purchased by the employee. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss and potentially dilutive shares being anti-dilutive.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 provided guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date to the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, for public companies. Early adoption prior to the original effective date of January 1, 2017, is not permitted. The updated standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to the disclosures around going concern. The new standard provides guidance around management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03. ASU 2015-03 simplifies presentation of debt issuance costs, by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The actual recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance which requires entities to measure most inventory “at the lower of cost and net realizable value (“NRV”),” thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under the new guidance, inventory is “measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value,” which eliminates the need to determine replacement cost and evaluate whether it is above the ceiling (NRV) or below the floor (NRV less a normal profit margin). The guidance defines NRV as the “estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.” The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.

5. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

The Company discloses and recognizes the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

 

Level 1    Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2    Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;
Level 3    Inputs that are unobservable.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2015, by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

7. Distribution Agreement

On January 1, 2014, the Company entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Century Medical, Inc. (“Century”) with respect to the anticipated distribution of the Company’s Ovation and Ovation Prime medical devices in Japan. Under the terms of a secured note purchase agreement, Century agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $6.0 million, with principal due in January 2019, under the agreement, subject to certain conditions. Under this facility, the Company received $4.0 million on January 10, 2014 and received the remaining $2.0 million on March 18, 2014, as the Company had achieved trailing 12-month revenues of $20 million and no material adverse event had occurred. The notes bear 5% annual interest which is payable quarterly in arrears through January 9, 2019, the maturity date when the entire principal balance becomes due. In return for the loan commitment, the Company granted Century distribution rights to the Company’s planned Ovation and Ovation Prime product line in Japan, and a right of first negotiation for distribution rights in Japan to future products. Century will be responsible for securing regulatory approval from the Ministry of Health in Japan for the Ovation and Ovation Prime product lines.

Proceeds from the note and granting the distribution rights were allocated to the note based on its aggregate fair value of $3.0 million at the dates of receipt. This fair value was determined by discounting cash flows using a discount rate of 15%, which the Company estimated as market rate of borrowing that could be obtained by companies with credit risk similar to the Company’s. The remainder of the proceeds of $3.0 million was recognized as debt issuance discount and allocated to the value of the distribution rights granted to Century under the Distribution Agreement. It is included in deferred revenue in other long term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred revenue will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Distribution Agreement, beginning upon the first sale by Century of the Ovation and Ovation Prime products in Japan.

 

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company’s headquarters’ facility lease expires on February 28, 2018. The Company also has immaterial office leases in its subsidiary locations. Total lease expense for the periods indicated was as follows (in thousands):

 

     Three Months Ended
June 30,
     Six Months Ended
June 30,
 
     2015      2014      2015      2014  

 

Lease expense

   $ 293       $ 287       $ 581       $ 568   

The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. In addition to the lease obligation, the Company pays for common area maintenance and insurance for the facility. The Company also has various office equipment leases for copiers and postage machines.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. There were no contingent liabilities requiring accrual at June 30, 2015.

 

13


Employment Agreements

The Company enters into employment agreements with its executive officers. The contracts do not have a fixed term and are constructed on an at-will basis. Some of these contracts provide executives with the right to receive certain additional payments and benefits after a change in control, as defined in such agreements.

Indemnification

The Company enters into standard indemnification arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with any trade secret, copyright, patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made.

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual.

The Company has not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. No liability associated with such indemnifications has been recorded to date.

 

9. Notes Payable

Century Medical, Inc. Subordinated Loan

In connection with the Distribution Agreement with Century (see Note 7), the Company entered into a secured note purchase agreement and a related security agreement, pursuant to which Century agreed to loan to the Company up to an aggregate of $6.0 million, which amount was received in the first quarter ended March 31, 2014. This note bears 5% annual interest which is payable quarterly in arrears on the last business day of March, June, September and December of each year through January 9, 2019, the maturity date when the total $6.0 million of principal becomes due. The debt issuance discount of approximately $3.0 million is reflected as a reduction in long-term debt and is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest method. The loan contains various affirmative and negative covenants and customary events of default, including if a material adverse change occurs with respect to the Company’s business, operations or financial condition, and is subordinated to the Company’s term loan with Capital Royalty.

The Company made the following interest payments in the periods indicated as follows (in thousands):

 

     Three Months Ended
June 30,
     Six Months Ended
June 30,
 
     2015      2014      2015      2014  

 

Interest Payments

   $ 75       $ 75       $ 150       $ 123   

As of June 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all its covenants.

On November 4, 2014, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Loan Agreement with Century primarily to conform certain terms of the existing term loan agreement between the Company and Century to those of the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement with Capital Royalty.

 

14


Capital Royalty Term Loan

On October 12, 2012, the Company executed a Term Loan Agreement with Capital Royalty Partners II L.P. and its affiliate Parallel Investment Opportunities Partners II L.P. (collectively “Capital Royalty”) for up to a $50 million term loan to be used to pay off the Company’s then existing senior notes held by a previous lender and to fund operations. The loan could be drawn in two tranches. The first tranche of $40 million was drawn in October 2012, and an additional amount up to $10 million could have been available upon achievement of a revenue-based milestone, if notice of that achievement was issued by May 31, 2014. While the Company timely achieved the revenue-based milestone, it elected not to draw down additional funds. The loan bore interest at a rate of 14.0%, based upon a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. Prior to September 30, 2017, the Company could, at its election pay the interest as follows: 11.5% per annum paid in cash and 2.5% per annum paid in-kind in the form of additional term loans, or PIK Loans. Payments under the loan were made on a quarterly basis with payment dates fixed at the end of each calendar quarter (“Payment Dates”). The notes were interest-only through the 14 th Payment Date (March 31, 2016) following funding. Following the interest-only period principal payments were to be made in equal installments at the end of the six subsequent calendar quarters. The notes matured on the 20 th Payment Date (September 30, 2017). In connection with the loan, the Company paid a loan origination fee of 1% and issued warrants to purchase 167,611 shares of common stock at $0.41 per share. The initial fair value of the warrants was $496,000 and resulted in a discount to the notes payable, which is being accreted to interest income and other income (expense), net in the statements of comprehensive loss over the life of the loan.

On November 4, 2014, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement with Capital Royalty amending the original term loan. In connection with this amendment, the Company increased borrowings under the facility by drawing down $10 million upon closing of the transaction on November 21, 2014. Additionally, subject to the achievement of certain revenue milestones, the Company had an option to access up to an additional $15 million on or before December 31, 2015.

The Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement primarily amended the terms of the original term loan agreement to increase the borrowing amount, reduce the applicable interest rate from 14.0% to 12.5%, extend the interest only payment period through September 30, 2018 and extend the final maturity date to June 30, 2020. Interest is payable, at the Company’s option, (i) in cash at a rate of 12.5% per annum or (ii) 9.0% of the 12.5% per annum in cash and 3.5% of the 12.5% per annum being added to the principal of the loan and subject to accruing interest. Interest-only payments are due quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year of the interest-only payment period. Thereafter, in addition to interest accrued during the period, the quarterly payments shall include an amount equal to the outstanding principal at September 30, 2018 divided by the remaining number of quarters prior to the end of the term of the loan which is June 30, 2020. The Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement provides for prepayment fees of 4% of the outstanding balance of the loan if the loan is repaid prior to September 30, 2015. The prepayment fee is reduced by 1% per year for each subsequent year.

Certain affirmative and negative covenants were also amended to provide the Company with additional flexibility. The principal financial covenants require that the Company attain minimum annual revenues of $30.0 million in 2015, $45.0 million in 2016, $60.0 million in 2017, $75.0 million in 2018 and $90.0 million thereafter. The loan and security agreement provides that an event of default will occur if, among other triggers, (1) the Company defaults in the payment of any amount payable under the agreement when due, (2) there occurs any circumstance or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations or condition, or on the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under the agreement, (3) the Company becomes insolvent, (4) the Company undergoes a change in control or (5) the Company breaches any negative covenants or certain affirmative covenants in the agreement or, subject to a cure period, otherwise neglects to perform or observe any material item in the agreement. The repayment of the term loan may be accelerated, at the option of Capital Royalty, following the occurrence of an event of default, which would require the Company to pay to Capital Royalty an amount equal to the sum of: (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued interest, (ii) the final payment, plus (iii) all other sums, that shall have become due and payable but have not been paid, including interest at the default rate with respect to any past due amounts plus the Prepayment Premium.

The term loan, as amended, continues to be collateralized by a first priority security interest on all of the Company’s assets excluding property not assignable without consent by a third party, trademarks that would be invalid by reason of including it in the collateral and 35% of the ownership interest in a foreign subsidiary.

 

15


As of June 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants.

In August 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Capital Royalty and its affiliate funds amending and restating the above terms. See Note 13 “Subsequent Events.”

Boston Scientific Corporation Note Payable

In March 2008, in conjunction with the acquisition of Boston Scientific Santa Rosa, or BSSR, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of approximately $3.5 million to the prior owners of BSSR as part of the purchase consideration. The note bore an interest rate of 5.25% per annum and would have matured on March 28, 2018 per the original terms. The note (along with unpaid accrued interest) was repayable upon the earlier of (a) the date upon which initial public offering is consummated, or (b) the sale of the Company, including liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The Company repaid the note in full, including all accrued interest and the unamortized debt discount, subsequent to the closing of the IPO in April 2014. Warrants to purchase up to 223,487 shares of common stock expired unexercised upon the IPO in April 2014.

 

10. Stockholders’ Equity

In February 2014, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation effecting a reverse stock split within a specified range with the final ratio to be determined by a committee of the board of directors. In March 2014, the committee of the board of directors approved a 1-for-40.57 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock and the corresponding adjustments to the conversion ratio of the convertible preferred stock. The reverse split was implemented on April 1, 2014. The par value of the common and convertible preferred stock was not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. All issued and outstanding share and per share amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split for all periods presented.

Each share of Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into common stock immediately upon the completion of the Company’s initial public offering on April 22, 2014.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company has reserved sufficient shares of common stock for exercise of the warrants, stock options and other equity incentive awards, and issuance of shares under the ESPP.

Warrants

The Company had warrants to purchase 395,863 shares of its common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2015. The Company’s convertible preferred stock warrants all converted to warrants to purchase common stock in April 2014.

 

11. Equity Incentive Plans

In April 2014, the Company adopted the ESPP. A total of 500,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP, subject to certain annual adjustments. After such annual increase on January 1, 2015, there were 621,601 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The initial offering under the ESPP commenced on the IPO date and has a duration of approximately 24 months, consisting of four approximately six-month purchase periods. The first purchase period ended on October 31, 2014, when 82,226 shares were purchased at a specified discount. The second purchase period ended on April 30, 2015, when 109,649 shares were purchased at a specified discount. The Company recorded amounts that had been withheld from employees for that purchase of $194,000 in accrued liabilities and other at June 30, 2015, for the next purchase period, which will end on October 31, 2015.

In April 2014, the Company adopted the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). A total of 2,750,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the 2014 Plan, subject to certain annual

 

16


adjustments. After such annual increase on January 1, 2015, there were 3,565,307 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, RSUs and other equity awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Options granted under the 2014 Plan may be either incentive stock options (“ISOs”) or nonqualified stock options (“NSOs”). ISOs may be granted only to Company employees while NSOs may be granted to all eligible recipients. At June 30, 2015, there were 1,057,001 shares of common stock subject to outstanding options under the 2014 Plan.

In April 2008, the Company adopted the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). The 2008 Plan provided for the granting of stock options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. In connection with the IPO, the 2008 Plan terminated in April 2014, and no further grants may be made from the 2008 Plan, while previously granted options continue in accordance with their respective terms. At June 30, 2015, there were 1,343,224 shares of common stock subject to remaining outstanding options under the 2008 Plan.

Options under the 2014 and 2008 Plans have terms of up to ten years. The exercise price of an ISO may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant; the exercise price for an NSO may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant and the exercise price of an ISO or an NSO granted to a more than 10% shareholder may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Options become exercisable as determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors. Options expire as determined by the board of directors but not more than ten years after the date of grant.

Restricted Stock Units

Following its IPO, the Company began granting other equity incentive awards, such as RSUs, to its employees and service providers. RSUs are awards that cover a number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be settled upon vesting by the issuance of the underlying shares. These awards are subject to forfeiture prior to settlement because of termination of employment, and may contain settlement deferral features. The Company expects that RSUs it will utilize for its executives and employees, generally, will vest as to 25% on a specified date within the calendar quarter nearest to the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and as to additional 25% on the second, third and fourth such anniversaries. The Company expects that RSUs it will utilize for its U.S. sales force, generally, will vest as to 50% on a specified date within the calendar quarter nearest to the second anniversary of the vesting commencement date, as to 25% on the third such anniversary and as to the remaining 25% on the fourth such anniversary. As of June 30, 2015, there were 800,993 RSUs outstanding. Of these, 38,503 RSUs were included in the basic EPS at June 30, 2015, on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss as they were fully vested, but not considered issued and outstanding as they are subject to a settlement deferral feature upon termination of employment or a change in control.

 

12. Income Tax Expense

The Company applied an estimated annual effective tax rate (“ETR”) approach for calculating a tax provision for interim periods, as required under U.S. GAAP. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of the following amounts for the periods indicated (in thousands):

 

     Three Months Ended
June 30,
    Six Months Ended
June 30,
 
     2015     2014     2015     2014  

 

Provision for income taxes

   $ 65     $ 77     $ 132     $ 100  

Effective tax rate

     (0.44 %)     (0.53 %)     (0.43 %)     (0.34 %) 

The Company’s ETR for the periods shown differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily as a result of nondeductible expenses, state income taxes, foreign income taxes, and the impact of a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

 

17


The Company has evaluated the available evidence supporting the realization of its deferred tax assets, including the amount and timing of future taxable income, and has determined that it is more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will not be realized in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions. Due to uncertainties surrounding the realization of the deferred tax assets, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance against substantially all deferred tax assets. If/when the Company determines that it will be able to realize some portion or all of its deferred tax assets, an adjustment to its valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets would have the effect of increasing net income, or decreasing net loss, in the period that such determination is made.

 

13. Subsequent Events

On August 3, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Capital Royalty Partners II L.P. and its affiliate funds (collectively, “CRG”) amending the existing term loan agreement under which the Company previously borrowed $50 million, as discussed in Note 9 (the “Existing Term Loan Agreement”).

The agreement primarily amends the terms of the Existing Term Loan Agreement to increase the borrowing amount to up to $95.0 million, net of financing fees. The Company continues to have the option to access up to $15.0 million on or before December 31, 2015, subject to achievement of certain revenue milestones. The newly available debt of $30.0 million is divided amongst two tranches. The first new tranche consists of $10.0 million in convertible notes with an interest rate of 8%. The convertible notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock at a price of $8.00 per share at CRG’s option, or, if our common stock trades above $8.00 per share for twenty consecutive trading days, at our option. The second new tranche consists of $20.0 million of borrowings that may be available to draw upon the achievement of $12.5 million of net revenue in any consecutive 3-month period before December 31, 2016 and has the same interest, payment, and other material terms as the existing borrowings under this loan.

The principal financial covenants were also amended to require that the Company attain minimum annual revenues of $30.0 million in 2015, $43.0 million in 2016, $55.0 million in 2017, $70.0 million in 2018 and $90.0 million thereafter.

The Company intends to seek an amendment to the loan agreement with Century primarily to obtain Century’s consent to the subordination of the increased loan amounts, which will be required prior to the draw down of any of the non-convertible tranches unless the convertible notes are converted in full, in which case access to up to the additional $15.0 million may be available without Century’s consent

Overview

We are a medical device company developing and commercializing innovative technologies to significantly advance minimally invasive treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms, or AAA. Our mission is to help physicians improve the lives of patients suffering from aortic disease through excellence in research, product development, manufacturing, sales and service. We developed our technology platform leveraging engineering principles utilized in many other industries and applied these concepts with the goal of designing an optimal solution for AAA therapy to address unmet clinical needs. The Ovation System, our solution for the treatment of AAA through minimally invasive endovascular aortic repair, or EVAR, is a new stent graft platform. It is designed to specifically address many of the limitations associated with conventional EVAR devices and expand the pool of patients eligible for EVAR by virtue of its low profile, flexible delivery system and novel sealing mechanism. The Ovation System consists of a main aortic body, injected with a conformable polymer, and typically two iliac limbs. These components allow the devices to be customized to a patient’s unique anatomy to effectively seal the aneurysm.

We received CE Mark clearance in August 2010 and began commercial sales of our Ovation System in Europe in September 2010. In October 2012, we received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the Ovation System for the treatment of AAA and began commercial sales in the United States in November 2012. We sell our products through our direct U.S. and European sales forces and through third-party distributors in Europe and in other parts of the world.

We manufacture and package all of the components of our implantable products at our headquarters in Santa Rosa, California. We also engage third-party contractors and suppliers to perform sterilization and accessory component assembly.

In April 2014, we completed the IPO of our common stock, which resulted in the sale of 7,475,000 shares at a price of $12.00 per share. We received net proceeds from the IPO of approximately $81.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.

In May 2014, we initiated the launch of our CustomSeal short cure fill polymer in Europe, further enhancing the implant experience for physicians. Subsequently, in October 2014, we received FDA approval of CustomSeal polymer for use in the U.S.

In September 2014, we announced our three-year follow-up data on primary safety and performance metrics from the Ovation Pivotal Trial. The data showed 100% freedom from aneurysm rupture, 100% freedom from conversion to open surgical repair, 100% freedom from Type I & III endoleaks, and 100% freedom from device migration. Subset analysis of the results of patients with aortic neck lengths less than 10mm, as well as patients who presented with tourtuous aortic neck anatomy, showed 100% freedom from: Type I and III endoleaks; rupture; migration; and conversion to surgical repair.

In October 2014, we initiated our LIFE Study, which we expect will illustrate the potential advantages of PEVAR with the Ovation Prime System. As of December 31, 2014, 12 patients had been enrolled in our U.S. LIFE study. In early 2015, we initiated the LUCY Study which will evaluate the clinical benefits associated with EVAR using the Ovation System in female patients.

Important Factors Affecting our Results of Operations

We believe there are several important factors that have impacted and that we expect to continue to impact our results of operations.

Our Ability to Recruit and Train our Sales Representatives and their Productivity

We only recently began building our sales organization in the United States and have made, and intend to continue to make, a significant investment in recruiting and training our sales representatives. This process is lengthy because it requires significant education and training for our sales representatives to achieve the level of clinical competency with our products that is expected by implanting physicians. Upon completion of the training, our sales representatives typically require lead time in the field to grow their network of accounts and achieve the productivity levels we expect them to reach. Successfully recruiting and training a sufficient number of productive sales representatives is required to achieve growth at the rate we expect.

Physician Awareness and Acceptance of our Ovation System

We continue to invest in programs to educate physicians who treat AAA disease about the advantages of our Ovation System. This requires significant commitment by our marketing team and sales organization, and can vary depending upon the physician’s practice specialization, personal preferences and geographic location. We are competing with well-established companies in our industry that have strong existing relationships with many of these physicians. Educating physicians about the advantages of our Ovation System, and influencing these physicians to use our Ovation System to treat AAA disease, is required to grow our revenue.

Access to Hospital Facilities

In order for physicians to use our Ovation System, most hospital facilities where these physicians treat patients typically require us to enter into purchasing contracts with them. This process can be lengthy and time-consuming and require extensive negotiations and management time. In some cases, contract bidding processes are only open at certain periods of time and we may not be successful in bidding. In many hospitals, we are not able to sell our products unless and until a purchasing contract has been executed.

Leveraging our Manufacturing Capacity

With our current operating model and infrastructure, we have the capacity to significantly increase our manufacturing production. We intend to use our design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities to increase manufacturing efficiency and to continue to develop new products with lower manufacturing costs. In addition, if we grow our revenue and sell more units, our fixed manufacturing costs will be spread over more units, which we believe will further reduce our manufacturing costs on a per-unit basis. Improving our gross margin, which is dependent upon further increasing our manufacturing efficiency and growing our U.S. revenue, among other factors, is critical to our ability to reach profitability.

Investment in Research and Clinical Trials

We are continuously investing in research and development of new products and product enhancements to improve outcomes and enhance the physician experience with our products, while reducing the invasiveness of AAA therapy and expanding the pool of patients eligible for EVAR. We believe that these efforts will continue to drive adoption of our Ovation platform and further validate the advantages of our innovative technology. While research and development and clinical testing are time consuming and costly, we believe that clinical data demonstrating efficacy, safety and cost effectiveness is critical to increasing the adoption of our Ovation System.

For additional information about the risks and uncertainties associated with our business, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Our Ovation System consists of an aortic body preloaded into a catheter, at least two iliac limbs preloaded into catheters, a fill polymer kit and an autoinjector. In some cases, extra iliac limbs or iliac extensions may be required. Most of our sales are on a per-component basis; however, a small minority of our direct customers have total system pricing.

We derive revenue from sales of our Ovation System and related components and accessories to two types of customers: hospitals and distributors. We recognize revenue from sales to hospitals when we are notified that the product has been used or implanted and we have received a valid purchase order. Product sales to hospitals are billed to and paid by the hospitals as part of their normal payment processes, with payment received by us in the form of an electronic transfer, check or credit card. We recognize revenue from our distributors at the time the product is shipped to the distributor. Product sales to distributors are billed to and paid by the distributors as part of their normal payment processes, with payment received by us in the form of an electronic transfer. Our average sales prices are significantly higher in the United States than they are internationally. Our revenue from international sales can also be significantly impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

We expect our revenue to increase as we expand our sales and marketing infrastructure and increase awareness of our products. We also expect our revenue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of factors, including seasonality and the impact of the buying patterns and implant volumes of our distributors and hospitals. We have historically experienced lower sales in the summer months and around the holidays.

Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit and Gross Margin

We manufacture the Ovation System at our manufacturing facility in Santa Rosa, California. Cost of goods sold includes the cost of raw materials, labor costs, manufacturing overhead expenses, reserves for expected scrap and inventory obsolescence as well as distribution-related expenses. Due to our relatively low production volumes compared to our current potential manufacturing capacity, a significant portion of our cost of goods sold consists of manufacturing overhead expenses. These expenses include the cost of quality assurance, material procurement, inventory control, facilities, equipment and operations supervision and management. Cost of goods sold also includes depreciation expense for production equipment, changes to our excess and obsolete inventory reserves, and certain direct costs such as shipping costs, net of costs charged to customers.

 

3


We calculate gross margin as revenue less cost of goods sold divided by revenue. Our gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, primarily by our manufacturing costs and, to a lesser extent, the percentage of products we sell in the United States versus internationally and the percentage of products we sell to distributors versus directly to hospitals. Our gross margin is significantly higher on products we sell in the United States, as compared to products we sell internationally, due to significantly higher average selling prices in the United States. Our gross margin is typically higher on products we sell directly to hospitals as compared to products we sell through distributors.

We expect our gross margin to increase over the long term because we expect to increase our manufacturing efficiency and, as our production volume increases, we will spread our fixed manufacturing costs over a larger number of units, thereby significantly reducing our per-unit manufacturing costs. However, our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of all of these factors.

Sales, General and Administrative

Sales, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses primarily consist of compensation, including salary, employee benefits and stock-based compensation expenses for our sales and marketing personnel, and for administrative personnel that support our general operations such as information technology, executive management, financial accounting, customer service, and human resources personnel. SG&A expenses also includes costs attributable to marketing our products to our customers and prospective customers, patent and legal fees, financial audit fees, insurance costs, recruiting fees, fees for other consulting services, and allocated facilities-related expenses. We expect to incur additional SG&A expenses in connection with our becoming a public company, which may increase further when we are no longer able to rely on the “emerging growth company” exemption we are afforded under the JOBS Act of 2012.

We expect our SG&A expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as our business grows and we continue to invest in our sales, marketing, clinical education, training and general administration resources to build our direct sales, distribution and administrative infrastructure in the United States. However, we expect our SG&A expenses to decrease as a percentage of our revenue over the long term, although our SG&A expenses may fluctuate from period to period due to the seasonality of our revenue and the timing and extent of our SG&A expenses.

Research and Development

Our research and development, or R&D, activities primarily consist of engineering and research programs associated with our products under development, as well as R&D activities associated with our core technologies. Our R&D expenses primarily consist of compensation, including salary, employee benefits and stock-based compensation expenses for our R&D and clinical personnel. We also incur significant expenses for supplies, development prototypes, design and testing, clinical study costs and product regulatory expenses. We expect our R&D expenses to increase as we initiate and advance our development projects and conduct additional clinical studies.

We expect our R&D expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to advance our products under development, as well as initiate and prepare for additional clinical studies. However, we expect our R&D expenses to decrease as a percentage of our revenue over the long term, although our R&D expenses may fluctuate from period to period due to the seasonality of our revenue and the timing and extent of our R&D expenses.

Loss on Extinguishment of Senior Notes

Loss on extinguishment of senior notes consists of the loss recognized in connection with the final payment of our notes with Pinnacle Ventures in 2012, which included all unamortized debt discounts and the previously unrecognized portion of the final payment.

 

4


Interest Expense

Our interest expense primarily consists of interest expense and amortization of debt discount associated with our term loan agreement with Capital Royalty, as amended. At December 31, 2014, there was $50.0 million outstanding principal under the term loan, which accrued interest at a rate of 12.5% per annum. There was also $6.0 million outstanding principal under our subordinated loan with Century Medical which we drew in the first quarter of 2014, which accrued interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum.

Interest Income and Other Income (Expense), Net and Income Tax Expense

Interest income and other income (expense), net primarily consists of changes in the fair value of then outstanding convertible preferred stock warrants. Prior to our IPO, the convertible preferred stock warrants were subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value was recognized as a component of interest income and other income (expense), net. We continued to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the completion of the IPO in April 2014, at which time all convertible preferred stock warrants were converted into warrants to purchase common stock and a final valuation was performed. We recognize interest and, if applicable, penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. We recognize our income tax expense using the effective tax method (“ETR”) as discussed in Note 14, “Income Tax Expense,” of our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

Revenue. Revenue for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $31.8 million and $19.5 million, respectively, an increase of 63%. The increase in revenue was primarily related to the growth of our U.S. business. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, our U.S. revenue was $21.5 million and $10.6 million, respectively, and represented 68% and 54% of our revenue in the respective periods. Since we initiated sales of our Ovation System in the U.S. in November 2012, revenue has grown significantly as we increased the size of our U.S. sales force resulting in increased adoption of our products. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, international revenue was $10.3 million and $8.9 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2014, our distributor revenue represented 23% of our revenue, compared to 32% for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

5


Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Our cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $13.8 million, resulting in a gross profit of $18.0 million, compared to $11.7 million in cost of goods sold in the year ended December 31, 2013, resulting in a gross profit of $7.8 million. Our gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 56.5%, compared to 40% for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a significant reduction in our per-unit manufacturing costs resulting from the absorption of fixed manufacturing costs over substantially more units.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses. Our SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $52.4 million, compared to $38.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of 37%. At December 31, 2014, our SG&A headcount totaled 142 employees, compared to 125 employees at December 31, 2013. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily associated with our continued expansion of our U.S. commercial operations. Employee-related expenses for our SG&A functions increased by $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in employee related spending is associated with the annualization of compensation for 2013 new employees in addition to new employees hired in 2014. SG&A expenses also increased by $1.6 million associated with employee related expenses such as travel, $1.4 million associated with marketing and professional education expenses and $1.1 million associated with public company related costs. 

Research and Development Expenses. Our R&D expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $15.5 million, compared to $13.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of 17%. The increase in R&D expenses in the year ended December 31, 2014 consisted primarily of salary expenses and product development costs associated with our CustomSeal fill polymer, our Ovation iX iliac limbs and aortic bodies and our Ovation Alto System.

Interest Expense. Our interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $7.7 million, compared to $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable repayment of the BSC note upon completion of our IPO in April 2014, which included recognition of the previously unamortized debt discount of $0.7 million, as well as the addition of the subordinated loan agreement with Century Medical in January 2014.

Interest Income and Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest income and other income (expense), net for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $0.3 million, compared to less than $0.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2013.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

Revenue. We commenced selling our products in Europe in September 2010 and in the U.S. in November 2012. Revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $19.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively, an increase of 261%. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, international revenue was $8.9 million and $5.2 million, respectively, and represented 46% and 96%, respectively, of revenue in the respective periods. Our international revenue growth of $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 was driven primarily by deeper penetration in geographies in which we were already selling our products, which accounted for approximately 85% of the increase. Of that 85%, more than two-thirds of the increase resulted from deeper penetration of our top three geographies. For the year ended December 31, 2013, distributor revenue represented 32% of our revenue, compared to 54% during the year ended December 31, 2012. Our U.S. revenue has grown significantly throughout 2013 as we increased the size of our U.S. sales force from 16 sales representatives at December 31, 2012 to 56 sales representatives at December 31, 2013.

Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Our cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $11.7 million, resulting in a gross profit of $7.8 million, compared to $8.9 million in cost of goods sold in the year ended December 31, 2012, resulting in a negative gross profit of $3.6 million. Our gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2013 was 40%, compared to a negative 66% for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a significant reduction in our per-unit manufacturing costs resulting from the absorption of fixed manufacturing costs over substantially more units.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses. Our SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $38.4 million, compared to $18.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of 105%. At December 31, 2013, our SG&A headcount totaled 125 employees, compared to 72 employees at December 31, 2012. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily associated with our initiation of Ovation System sales in the U.S. in November 2012 and the continued expansion of our U.S. commercial operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. Employee-related expenses for our SG&A functions increased by $18 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. SG&A expenses also increased by $0.3 million associated with marketing and promotional expenses and tradeshows and $0.3 million due to accounting fees.

Research and Development Expenses. Our R&D expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $13.3 million, compared to $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of 9%. The increase in R&D expenses in the year ended December 31, 2013 consisted primarily of salary expenses.

Interest Expense. Our interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $6.4 million, compared to $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in interest expense was attributable to the term loan agreement we executed with Capital Royalty in October 2012, under which we can draw up to $50 million, subject to certain conditions, at a rate of 14% per annum, payable on a quarterly basis. In October 2012, we drew $40 million under the term loan agreement. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 related to notes payable to Pinnacle Ventures at a rate of 11% and our note payable to Boston Scientific Corporation at a rate of 5.25%. We used proceeds from the Capital Royalty term loan to repay all amounts outstanding under the Pinnacle Ventures notes in October 2012.

Interest Income and Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest income and other income (expense), net for the year ended December 31, 2013 was less than $0.1 million, compared to negative $1.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease was attributable to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our sources of cash have primarily included our IPO, private placements of equity securities and debt arrangements, and, to a much lesser extent, cash generated from operations, primarily from the collection of accounts receivable resulting from sales. Our historical cash outflows have primarily been associated with cash used for operating activities such as expansion of our sales and marketing infrastructure, investing in inventory, R&D activities and other working capital needs. At December 31, 2014, we had approximately $79.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Since our inception, we have generated significant losses and expect to continue to generate losses for the foreseeable future. In January 2014, we entered into a term loan agreement with Century Medical for an aggregate amount of $6.0 million, $4.0 million of which we drew down in January 2014 and the remaining $2.0 million of which we drew down in March 2014. In April 2014, we completed our IPO of 7,475,000 shares of common stock, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters in the offering of their option to purchase 975,000 additional shares of common stock, at an offering price of $12.00 per share. We received net proceeds of approximately $81.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. In November 2014, we entered into the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement with Capital Royalty Partners II L.P. and its affiliate funds (collectively, “CRG” or “Capital Royalty”) amending the original term loan agreement under which we previously borrowed $40.0 million in October 2012 (the “Original Term Loan Agreement”) and upon closing of the transaction, increased borrowings under the facility by $10.0 million. Additionally, subject to the achievement of certain revenue milestones, we will have an option to access up to an additional $15.0 million on or before December 31, 2015.

We believe that our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and available sources of debt financing will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months. We have utilized, and may continue to utilize, debt arrangements with debt providers and financial institutions to finance our operations. Factors such as interest rates and available cash will impact our decision to continue to utilize debt arrangements as a source of cash.

Operating activities. The increase in net cash used in operating activities during 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily related to our increased expenditures, including higher employee headcount, employee-related expenses and working capital needs, as a result of our deeper commercial penetration in the United States.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2014 was primarily related to the purchase of investments.

Financing activities. The net cash provided by financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2014 was primarily related to the execution and draw-down of our subordinated loan agreement with Century Medical, proceeds from the issuance of common stock and net proceeds received from our IPO.

Indebtedness

Capital Royalty Term Loan

In October 2012, we executed a term loan agreement with Capital Royalty Partners II L.P. and Parallel Investment Opportunities Partners II L.P. (together, “Capital Royalty”) providing us access to up to $50 million under the arrangement, of which $40 million was available in October 2012, and an additional amount up to $10 million was available upon our achievement of a revenue-based milestone, which we elected not to draw down. In October 2012, we drew $40 million under the agreement. Those proceeds were used to repay all amounts outstanding under our $20 million loan from affiliates of Pinnacle Ventures L.L.C.

On November 4, 2014, we entered into the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement with Capital Royalty Partners II L.P. and its affiliate funds (collectively, “CRG” or “Capital Royalty”) amending the original term loan. In connection with this amendment, we increased borrowings under the facility by drawing down $10 million upon closing of the transaction on November 21, 2014. Additionally, subject to the achievement of certain revenue milestones, we have an option to access up to an additional $15 million on or before December 31, 2015.

The Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement primarily amended the terms of the original term loan agreement to increase the borrowing amount, reduce the applicable interest rate from 14.0% to 12.5%, extend the interest only payment period through September 30, 2018 and extend the final maturity date to June 30, 2020. Interest is payable, at our option, (i) in cash at a rate of 12.5% per annum or (ii) 9.0% of the 12.5% per annum in cash and 3.5% of the 12.5% per annum being added to the principal of the loan and subject to accruing interest. Interest-only payments are due quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year of the interest-only payment period. Thereafter, in addition to interest accrued during the period, the quarterly payments shall include an amount equal to the outstanding principal at September 30, 2018 divided by the remaining number of quarters prior to the end of the term of the loan which is June 30, 2020. The Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement provides for prepayment fees of 4% of the outstanding balance of the loan if the loan is repaid prior to September 30, 2015. The prepayment fee is reduced by 1% per year for each subsequent year.

Certain affirmative and negative covenants were also amended to provide the Company with additional flexibility. The principal financial covenants require that the Company attain minimum annual revenues of $30.0 million in 2015, $45.0 million in 2016, $60.0 million in 2017, $75.0 million in 2018 and $90.0 million thereafter. At December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all of the covenants.

The term loan, as amended, continues to be collateralized by a first priority security interest on all of our assets excluding property not assignable without consent by a third party, trademarks that would be invalid by reason of including it in the collateral and 35% of the ownership interest in a foreign subsidiary.

Century Medical, Inc. Subordinated Loan

In January 2014, we executed an exclusive distribution agreement and a related term loan agreement for up to $6 million with Century Medical, a Japanese medical device distributor.

Under the term loan agreement, Century Medical loaned us $4 million in January 2014 and upon achievement of a revenue-based milestone, we drew down the remaining $2 million available under the agreement in March 2014.

The loan has a five-year term, except that it becomes due if the distribution agreement is terminated due to a change of control termination event. The loan accrues interest at an annual rate of 5%. Interest-only payments are due quarterly. If we are in default, the interest rate increases to 9%, and we may elect to pay interest in the form of compounded interest to be added to the aggregate principal amount. We may prepay the loan at any time without penalty.

The loan is collateralized by all of our assets other than intellectual property. The loan is subordinated to the Capital Royalty term loan pursuant to a subordination agreement among Capital Royalty, Century Medical and us.

On November 4, 2014, we entered into an amendment to loan agreement with Century Medical primarily to conform certain terms of the existing agreement to those of the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement with Capital Royalty.

Boston Scientific Corporation Note Payable

In March 2008, we issued a promissory note in the amount of $3.5 million to Boston Scientific Corporation as part of the purchase price consideration related to our spin-off transaction from Boston Scientific Corporation. The note carried an interest rate of 5.25% per annum and matured on March 28, 2018. The note, together with unpaid accrued interest, was repayable upon our initial public offering or a sale or liquidation event. We repaid the note in full, including all accrued interest and the previously unrecognized unamortized debt discount, subsequent to the closing of the IPO in April 2014.

Future Capital Requirements

Our liquidity position and capital requirements are subject to a number of factors. For example, our cash inflow and outflow may be impacted by the following:

 

  our ability to generate revenues;

 

  fluctuations in gross margins and net losses; and

 

  fluctuations in working capital.

Our primary short-term capital needs, which are subject to change, include expenditures related to:

 

  support of our commercialization efforts related to our current and future products;

 

  improvements in our manufacturing capacity and efficiency;

 

  new research and product development efforts; and

 

  payment of interest due under our loan agreements with Capital Royalty and Century Medical.

Although we believe the foregoing items reflect our most likely uses of cash in the short term, we cannot predict with certainty all of our particular short-term cash uses or the timing or amount of cash used. If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, we may be required to

sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. This capital may not be available on satisfactory terms, if at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may include restrictive covenants. For a discussion of other factors that may impact our future liquidity and capital funding requirements, see “Risk Factors.”

Credit Risk

We had receivable balances from customers in Europe of approximately $2.8 million as of December 31, 2014 and $2.4 million as of December 31, 2013. Our accounts receivable outside of the United States are primarily due from third-party distributors, and to a lesser extent, public government-owned and private hospitals. Our accounts receivable in the United States are primarily due from for-profit and not-for-profit private hospitals. Our historical write-offs of accounts receivable have not been significant.

We monitor the financial performance and credit worthiness of our customers, so that we can properly assess and respond to changes in their credit profile. Our third-party distributors operate in certain countries, such as Greece, Italy, Spain and Turkey, where economic conditions continue to present challenges to their businesses, and thus, could place at risk the amounts due to us from them. These distributors are owed certain amounts from public hospitals that are funded by their governments. Adverse financial conditions in these countries may continue, thus negatively affecting the length of time that it will take us to collect associated accounts receivable, or impact the likelihood of ultimate collection.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. To prepare our financial statements, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, sales, costs and expenses. We base our estimates on historical expenses and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the accounting estimates are likely to occur from period to period. Actual results could be significantly different from these estimates. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgment and estimates.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 provided guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. The updated standard

 

10


will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2017. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to the disclosures around going concern. The new standard provides guidance around management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are more fully described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, of our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue is generated from sales to two types of customers: hospitals and third-party distributors. Sales to hospitals represent the majority of our revenue. We utilize a network of direct sales representatives for sales in the United States and a combination of direct sales representatives, independent sales agencies and distributors for sales outside the United States. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, pricing is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. In direct markets, we provide products for a specific implant procedure and recognize revenue at the time that we are notified that the product has been used or implanted and a valid purchase order has been received. For all other transactions, we recognize revenue when title to the goods and risk of loss transfer to customers, provided that there are no remaining performance obligations that will affect the customer’s final acceptance of the sale. We recognize revenue from sales to distributors at the time the product is shipped to the distributor. Distributors, who sell the products to their customers, take title to the products and assume all risks of ownership at time of shipment. Our distributors are obligated to pay within specified terms regardless of when or if they ever they sell the products. Our policy is to classify shipping and handling costs, net of costs charged to customers, as cost of goods sold. In general, we do not offer rights of return or price protection to our customers and have no post-delivery obligations. We offer rights of exchange in limited circumstances for products that have a short shelf life at the time of shipment. One of our distributor customers represented 16.9% of our net accounts receivable and approximately 4% of our sales for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Excess and Obsolete Inventory

We state inventories at the lower of cost or market. We determine cost on a standard cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. We evaluate the carrying value of our inventories in relation to our estimated forecast of product demand, which takes into consideration the estimated life cycle of our products. A significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities on hand. When quantities on hand exceed estimated sales forecasts, we record a write-down for excess inventories, which results in a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold. Charges incurred for excess and obsolete inventory were $0.8 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Our industry is characterized by ongoing product innovation that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on hand. For example, as we introduce new products or next generation products, we may be required to take charges for excess and obsolete inventory that could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory or our operating results.

Investments

We may have investments, with maturities of longer than 90 days but less than a year, based on expected maturity dates. They are classified as available-for-sale as we can liquidate our securities as needed, and changes in fair value between accounting periods are included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the consolidated balance sheet until the securities are sold. Discounts or premiums are amortized to interest income and other income (expense) net using the interest method.

 

11


Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

As a result of our spin off from Boston Scientific Corporation, we recorded goodwill and intangible assets. We classify intangible assets into three categories: (1) goodwill; (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization; and (3) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. We assess goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist.

The performance of the goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. We first assess our book value and market value, by reporting unit, to determine if an impairment of goodwill exists. We have determined that we have one reporting unit. A potential impairment exists if the fair value of the reporting unit is lower than its net book value. The second step of the process is only performed if a potential impairment exists, and it involves comparing the aggregate fair value of the reporting unit’s net assets, other than goodwill and other intangibles, to the fair value of the reporting unit as a whole. Goodwill is considered impaired, and an impairment charge is recorded, if the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of the net assets is less than the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. This evaluation requires use of internal business plans that are based on our judgments regarding future economic conditions, product demand and pricing, costs, inflation rates and discount rates, among other factors. These judgments and estimates involve inherent uncertainties, and the measurement of the fair value is dependent on the accuracy of the assumptions used in making the estimates and how those estimates compare to our future operating performance.

The fair value measurement of purchased intangible assets with indefinite lives involves the estimation of the fair value which is based on our management’s assumptions about expected future cash flows, discount rates, growth rates, estimated costs and other factors which utilize historical data, internal estimates, and, in some cases, outside data. If the carrying value of the indefinite life intangible asset exceeds management’s estimate of fair value, the asset is impaired, and we would be required to record an impairment charge which would negatively impact our operating results. There was no impairment of goodwill, or intangible assets with indefinite lives, identified through December 31, 2014.

Stock-Based Compensation

We determine the fair value of stock options on the date of grant and shares to be issued to employees under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and is impacted by our common stock price as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected common stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. For restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards, the fair value is determined based on the closing price on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on date of the award.

The fair value is recognized over the period during which services are rendered, known as the requisite service period on a straight-line basis for awards that vest based on service conditions. Stock-based compensation expense recognized at fair value includes the impact of estimated forfeitures. We estimate future forfeitures at the date of grant and revises the estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Equity instruments issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest. The fair value of options granted to consultants is expensed when vested. The non-employee stock-based compensation expense was not material for all periods presented.

Cash flows resulting from the tax benefits for tax deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options in excess of the compensation expense recorded for those options (excess tax benefits) are classified as cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows; however, there were no cash flow impacts from excess tax benefits during the years ending December 31, 2014, 2013, or 2012.

 

12


Estimating the fair value of equity-settled awards as of the grant date using valuation models, such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model, is affected by assumptions regarding a number of complex variables. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the fair value and ultimately how much stock-based compensation expense is recognized. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. For valuations of all equity awards utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to date, we estimated the expected term and the volatility data based on a study of publicly traded industry peer companies and the our actual experience since the IPO. For purposes of identifying these peer companies, we considered the industry, stage of development, size and financial leverage of potential comparable companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues similar in duration to the expected term of the equity-settled award.

Warrant Liabilities

We previously issued freestanding warrants to purchase shares of our convertible preferred stock. The warrants were recorded at fair value using either the Black-Scholes option pricing model, other binomial valuation model or lattice model, depending on the characteristics of the warrants at the time of the valuation. We remeasured the fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrants at each financial reporting period with any changes in fair value being recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the accompanying statements of comprehensive loss. Upon the closing of our IPO, the warrants converted into warrants exercisable for common stock. At that time, the liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not maintain any off balance sheet partnerships, arrangements, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others, often referred to as structured finance or special-purpose entities, which are established for the purpose of facilitating off balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

JumpStart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (JOBS Act)

In April 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies.

Revenue

   $ 9,733       $ 7,798       $ 1,935         24.8

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, was $9.7 million and $7.8 million, respectively, an increase of 24.8%. The increase in revenue was primarily related to the growth of our U.S. business. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, our U.S. revenue was $7.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively, and represented 72.4% and 66.4%, respectively, of our revenue in the respective periods. Since we initiated sales of our Ovation System in the U.S. in November 2012, our U.S. revenue has grown significantly as our U.S. sales force gains more experience and we are more effective in increasing adoption of our products. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, international revenue was $2.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, our distributor revenue represented 15.9% of our revenue, compared to 22.7% during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2015, was $3.8 million, resulting in a gross profit of $6.0 million, compared to $3.5 million in cost of goods sold and gross profit of $4.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014. Our gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2015, was 61.4%, compared to 55.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a reduction in our per-unit manufacturing costs resulting from the absorption of fixed manufacturing costs over substantially more units.

Sales, General and Administrative. Our SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015, were $14.7 million, compared to $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 12.9%. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily associated with increases in compensation, public company and legal related spending. Employee-related compensation expenses for our SG&A functions increased by $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014 driven by increased headcount and severance related expenses. For example, two of our former executive officers, Robert Whirley and Louis Molinari, Vice Presidents of Research & Development and of Manufacturing Operation, respectively, as well as Joseph Humphrey, Vice President of Manufacturing Technology, have transitioned from their employment positions with us. Each is entitled to receive severance under our Key Employee Change of Control and Severance Payment Plan and will continue to provide consulting services to us for several months during the transition period. Public company related expenses increased by $0.4 million and legal expenses increased by $0.3 million each as compared to the same period in 2014.

Research and Development. Our R&D expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $4.1 million, a slight increase of 0.8% as compared to the same period in 2014. There was a $0.2 million increase in clinical study related spending with increased enrollments offset by a decrease in product development spending.

Interest Expense. Our interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015, was $1.9 million, compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to the repayment of the BSC note upon completion of our IPO in April 2014, which included unamortized debt discount of $0.7 million. Interest expense aside from that increased attributable to the higher principal balance of the Capital Royalty term loan.

Since we initiated sales of our Ovation System in the U.S. in November 2012, our U.S. revenue has grown significantly as our U.S. sales force gains experience and we are increasing adoption of our products. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, international revenue was $5.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively, and represented 29.2% and 34.1%, respectively, of our revenue in the respective periods. Our international revenue growth was driven primarily by sales to new geographies. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, our distributor revenue represented 15.6% of our revenue, compared to 23.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our sources of cash have primarily included our IPO, private placements of equity securities and debt arrangements, and, to a much lesser extent, cash generated from operations, primarily from the collection of accounts receivable resulting from sales. Our historical cash outflows have primarily been associated with cash used for operating activities such as expansion of our sales and marketing infrastructure, investing in inventory, R&D activities and other working capital needs. At June 30, 2015, we had $52.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Since our inception, we have generated significant losses and expect to continue to generate losses for the foreseeable future. In January 2014, we entered into a term loan agreement with Century for an aggregate amount of $6.0 million, $4.0 million of which we drew down in January 2014 and the remaining $2.0 million of which we drew down in March 2014. In April 2014, we completed our IPO of 7,475,000 shares of common stock, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters in the offering of their option to purchase 975,000 additional shares of common stock, at an offering price of $12.00 per share. We received net proceeds of approximately $81.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. In November 2014, we entered into the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement with Capital Royalty Partners II L.P. and its affiliate funds (collectively, “CRG” or “Capital Royalty”) amending the original term loan agreement under which we previously borrowed $40.0 million in October 2012 (the “Existing Term Loan Agreement”) and upon closing of the transaction, increased borrowings under the facility by $10.0 million. In August 2015, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement with CRG (the “Restated Loan Agreement”). In additional to the $50.0 million of borrowings outstanding and the option to access up to an additional $15.0 million subject to achievement of certain revenue milestones under the Existing Term Loan Agreement, the Restated Loan Agreement also provides for two additional tranches of up to $30.0 million in the aggregate. The first new tranche consists of $10.0 million in convertible notes with an interest rate of 8%. The convertible notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $8.00 per share at CRG’s option, or if our common stock trades above $8.00 per share for twenty consecutive trading days, at our option. The remaining new tranche consists of $20.0 million in borrowings that may be available to us upon the achievement of $12.5 million of net revenue in any consecutive 3-month period before December 31, 2016. We would be required to amend our loan with Century to obtain its consent for subordination of additional borrowings before we could draw down the non-convertible tranches unless the convertible notes are converted in full, in which case access to up to the additional $15.0 million may be available without Century’s consent. See Note 13, “Subsequent Events” for discussion of this amendment of the loan agreement.

In May 2015, we entered into a Controlled Equity Offering SM sales agreement, with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., or Cantor, as agent, pursuant to which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million. Cantor may sell our common stock by methods deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act. Sales made pursuant to the controlled equity offering program, if any, will be made under our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on June 17, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, Cantor had made no sales, and we have not issued any shares, under the controlled equity offering program.

We believe that our available cash will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months. We have utilized, and may continue to utilize, debt arrangements with debt providers and financial institutions to finance our operations. Factors such as interest rates and available cash will impact our decision to continue to utilize debt arrangements as a source of cash.

The following presents a discussion of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

Operating activities. The slight increase in net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, was primarily related to an increase in our stock-based compensation, offset by other working capital needs.

Investing activities. The net cash provided by investing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily related to the maturities of short-term investments, offset by short-term investment purchases. Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2014, was related to the purchase of capital equipment.

Financing activities. The net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily related to issuance of common stock, mostly from our ESPP purchase in April 2015. The net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2014, was primarily related to the execution and draw-down of our subordinated loan agreement with Century, proceeds from the issuance of common stock and payments for deferred offering costs related to our IPO.

Indebtedness

For discussion of our indebtedness, refer to Note 9, “Notes Payable” and Note 13, “Subsequent Events,” of our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Future Capital Requirements

Our liquidity position and capital requirements are subject to a number of factors. For example, our cash inflow and outflow may be impacted by the following:

 

  our ability to generate revenues;

 

  fluctuations in gross margins and net losses; and

 

  fluctuations in working capital.

Our primary short-term capital needs, which are subject to change, include expenditures related to:

 

  support of our commercialization efforts related to our current and future products;

 

  improvements in our manufacturing capacity and efficiency;

 

  new research and product development efforts; and

 

  payment of interest due under our loan agreements with Capital Royalty and Century.

Additionally, as a public company, we incur significant audit, legal, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company.

Although we believe the foregoing items reflect our most likely uses of cash in the short term, we cannot predict with certainty all of our particular short-term cash uses or the timing or amount of cash used. If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, we may be required to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. This capital may not be available on satisfactory terms, if at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may include restrictive covenants. For a discussion of other factors that may impact our future liquidity and capital funding requirements, see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 9, 2015.

 

18


Credit Risk

We had receivable balances from customers in Europe of approximately $2.8 million both as of June 30, 2015 and as of December 31, 2014. Our accounts receivable outside of the United States are primarily due from third-party distributors, and to a lesser extent, public government-owned and private hospitals. Our accounts receivable in the United States are primarily due from for-profit and not-for-profit private hospitals. Our historical write-offs of accounts receivable have not been significant.

We monitor the financial performance and credit worthiness of our customers, so that we can properly assess and respond to changes in their credit profile. Our third-party distributors operate in certain countries, such as Greece, Italy, Spain and Turkey, where economic conditions continue to present challenges to their businesses, and thus, could place at risk the amounts due to us from them. These distributors are owed certain amounts from public hospitals that are funded by their governments. Adverse financial conditions in these countries may continue, thus negatively affecting the length of time that it will take us to collect associated accounts receivable, or impact the likelihood of ultimate collection.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not maintain any off balance sheet partnerships, arrangements, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others, often referred to as structured finance or special-purpose entities, which are established for the purpose of facilitating off balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Exhibit 99.5

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

ENDOLOGIX, INC. AS OF JUNE 30, 2015 AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014

AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015

On October 26, 2015, Endologix, Inc., (“Endologix”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger with TriVascular Technologies, Inc. (“TriVascular”). Under the terms of the agreement, Endologix agreed to acquire all of TriVascular’s outstanding capital stock through a merger of a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Endologix with TriVascular (the “Merger”). The Merger will provide the newly combined company, following the closing of the transaction, with a strategic competitive advantage in R&D and product development expansion, retaining existing customers and expanding its customer base. The aggregate consideration payable to the stockholders of TriVascular in the Merger consists of approximately $187 million of Endologix common stock and up to $24 million in cash. Contemporaneous to the Merger, Endologix intends to issue $150 million in     % Senior Convertible Notes.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, and the year ended December 31, 2014, are presented as if the Merger and the contemporaneous financing transaction had been completed on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2015, is presented as if the Merger and the contemporaneous financing transaction had been completed on June 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented below are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Endologix and the historical consolidated financial statements of TriVascular. The historical consolidated financial statements of Endologix and TriVascular are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America (“US GAAP”).

As described in the accompanying notes, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under US GAAP and the regulations of the SEC. US GAAP requires that one of the companies in the Merger be designated as the accounting acquirer for the purposes of applying the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805, Business Combinations . Endologix is the accounting acquirer.

The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to the pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the Merger; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations exclude non-recurring items, that are directly related to the Merger, including, but not limited to: (i) Merger related legal and advisory fees; and (ii) the impact of a fair value inventory step-up on the cost of goods sold. Additionally, certain pro forma adjustments have been made to the historical consolidated financial statements of TriVascular in order to conform their financial statement presentation policies to those applied by Endologix.

Because the acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that must be prepared as of the completion date of the Merger and because there are limitations on the type of information that can be exchanged between Endologix and TriVascular at this time, there currently is not sufficient information for a definitive measurement; therefore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are preliminary. Until the Merger is complete, Endologix will not have complete access to all relevant information. In determining the preliminary estimate of fair values of TriVascular’s assets that will be acquired and liabilities that will be assumed, Endologix used publically available benchmarking information, as well as a variety of other assumptions, including market participant assumptions. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the combined future results of operations and financial position.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to the potential impact of any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the Merger or any integration costs. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of the newly combined company would have been had the Merger occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to transactions that are (i) directly attributable to the Merger, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the operating results of the combined company. The historical consolidated financial statements of Endologix and TriVascular are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 was prepared using the historical unaudited consolidated balance sheets of Endologix and TriVascular as of June 30, 2015, and presents the combined financial position of Endologix and TriVascular as if the Merger occurred on June 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014 assume that the Merger was consummated on January 1, 2014.

Endologix’s historical financial information for the year ended December 31, 2014 and as of and for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 is derived from Endologix’s Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015 and August 5, 2015, respectively. The historical financial information for TriVascular for the year ended December 31, 2014 and as of and for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 is derived from TriVascular Technologies’ Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filed with SEC on March 9, 2015 and August 5, 2015, respectively.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, have not been adjusted for the following estimated amounts that are expected to have a one-time impact on the pro forma combined loss from continuing operations in the twelve months following the Merger (in thousands):

 

Transaction costs

   $ 30,587   

Accelerated vesting of TriVascular share-based awards

     5,500   

Impact of inventory pro forma adjustments on cost of goods sold

     (624
  

 

 

 

Total

   $ 35,463   
  

 

 

 

The tax impact of the amounts in the table above are disclosed in footnote 5(e) below.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the business combination accounting guidance as provided in Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations , with Endologix treated as the accounting acquirer.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with:

 

    the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information;

 

    the separate historical audited consolidated financial statements of Endologix as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in Endologix’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015 and incorporated by reference in this prospectus;

 

    the separate historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Endologix as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2015, included in Endologix’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 5, 2015 and incorporated by reference in this prospectus;

 

    the separate historical audited consolidated financial statements of TriVascular as of December 31, 2014, included in TriVascular’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2015 and incorporated by reference herein;

 

    the separate historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of TriVascular as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2015, included in TriVascular’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 5, 2015 and incorporated by reference herein.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are those set out in Endologix’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2014. Management has determined that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform TriVascular’s financial statements to the accounting policies used by Endologix in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Certain reclassifications have been reflected in the pro forma adjustments to conform TriVascular’s presentation to Endologix’s in the pro forma balance sheet and statement of operations. Specifically, reclassifications have been made to the statement of operations between TriVascular’s presentation of operating expenses, including Research and Development and Endologix’s Clinical and Regulatory Affairs, as well as TriVascular’s presentation of Sales, General, and Administrative expenses and Endologix’s General and Administrative and Marketing and Sales expenses. These reclassifications were prepared to conform to Endologix’s presentation of operating expenses in the statement of operations. These reclassifications were prepared using the account descriptions in TriVascular’s trial balance. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities and shareholders’ equity, or income from continuing operations of Endologix or TriVascular. The pro forma financial information may not reflect all reclassifications necessary to conform TriVascular’s presentation to that of Endologix, due to limitations on the availability of information as of the date of this prospectus. Accounting policy differences and additional reclassification adjustments may be identified as more information becomes available.

 

3. Calculation of Merger Consideration and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The fair value of the Merger Consideration expected to be transferred on the closing date includes the value of the estimated cash consideration and the estimated fair value of the equity to be transferred as per the Merger Agreement. The aggregate consideration payable to the stockholders of TriVascular per the Merger Agreement consists of 19.999% of Endologix issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the Effective Time, estimated to be approximately $187 million equity consideration and up to $24 million in cash consideration. For the purposes of estimating the Merger Consideration, the Company estimated the cash consideration that will be provided to common shares estimated to be issued for existing stock options, RSUs, convertible notes, and common stock warrants as of October 23, 2015 in items (2) through (7) as disclosed in the below table. The calculation of Merger Consideration is as follows (in thousands):

 

Estimated value of Endologix shares issued for outstanding TriVascular common stock (1)

   $ 186,817   

Estimated cash for notes converted to TriVascular common stock (2)

     6,775   

Estimated cash for intrinsic value of TriVascular common stock options (3)

     1,545   

Estimated cash for intrinsic value of TriVascular common stock warrants (4)

     840   

Estimated cash for exercise of TriVascular common stock options prior to effective date (5)

     1,476   

Estimated cash for exercise of TriVascular common stock warrants prior to effective date (6)

     69   

Estimated cash for fair value of outstanding TriVascular RSUs (7)

     4,431   
  

 

 

 

Total estimated merger consideration

   $ 201,953   
  

 

 

 

 

Total cash consideration

     15,136   

Total equity consideration

     186,817   
  

 

 

 

Total estimated merger consideration

   $ 201,953   
  

 

 

 

 

(1) Represents the value of approximately 13.6 million shares of Endologix common stock estimated to be issued to TriVascular shareholders in connection with the Merger. As outlined in the Merger Agreement, each share of TriVascular common stock outstanding as of the Merger effective date (other than any cancelled shares or dissenting shares) will be exchanged for 0.61 shares of Endologix common stock. For purposes of this presentation only, the value of each share of Endologix common stock is based on its volume weighted average per-share trading price for the five consecutive trading days ending on October 23, 2015, or $13.78.
(2) Represents the portion of total cash consideration obtained by multiplying the number of shares issuable to Capital Royalty Group upon conversion of CRG convertible debt by the ten day volume weighted average closing price per share of TriVascular stock for the ten days ending on the last day immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger. For purposes of this presentation only, the estimated ten day volume weighted average trading price of TriVascular common stock for the ten days immediately prior to the closing date has been calculated based on the volume weighted average per-share trading price for the five consecutive trading days ending on October 23, 2015.

 

6


(3) Represents the portion of total cash consideration based on the estimated aggregate intrinsic value of 0.6 million in-the-money TriVascular stock options expected to be outstanding on the business day immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger. For purposes of this presentation only, the estimated stock option intrinsic value has been calculated based on in-the-money options outstanding as of October 23, 2015 multiplied by excess of the volume weighted average per-share trading price of TriVascular common stock for the five consecutive trading days ending on October 23, 2015, or $5.42, over the options’ respective exercise prices.
(4) Represents the portion of total cash consideration based on the estimated aggregate intrinsic value of 0.2 million in-the-money TriVascular stock warrants expected to be outstanding on the business day immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger. For purposes of this presentation only, the estimated warrant intrinsic value has been calculated based on in-the-money warrants outstanding as of October 23, 2015 multiplied by the excess of the volume weighted average per-share trading price of TriVascular common stock for the five consecutive trading days ending on October 23, 2015, or $5.42, over the warrants’ respective exercise prices.
(5) Represents the portion of total cash consideration based on the estimated aggregate exercise price paid to TriVascular by holders of 0.6 million common stock options that are estimated to be exercised for cash between the date of the letter of intent dated September 11, 2015 and the effective date of the Merger.
(6) Represents the portion of total cash consideration based on the aggregate exercise price paid to TriVascular by holders of 0.2 million common stock warrants that are estimated to be exercised for cash between the date of the letter of intent dated September 11, 2015 and the effective date of the Merger.
(7) Represents the portion of total cash consideration based on the product obtained by multiplying (i) 0.8 million TriVascular restricted stock units estimated outstanding as of the business day immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger by (ii) by the ten day volume weighted average closing price per share of TriVascular stock for the ten days ending on the business day immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger. For purposes of this presentation only, the estimated weighted average trading price of TriVascular common stock for the ten days immediately prior to the effective date has been calculated based on the volume weighted average per-share trading price for the five consecutive trading days ending on October 23, 2015.

The following table shows the effect of a change in Endologix’s stock price and the resulting impact on the estimated merger consideration and estimated goodwill (dollars in thousands, except stock price):

 

Change in Stock Price

   Stock Price      Estimated
Purchase Price
     Goodwill  

Increase of 10%

   $ 15.16       $ 220,636       $ 56,177   

Decrease of 10%

   $ 12.40       $ 183,271       $ 18,813   

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of TriVascular are recorded at the acquisition date fair values and added to those of Endologix. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the Merger. The final determination of the purchase price allocation upon the closing of the Merger will be based on TriVascular’s net assets acquired as of that date and will depend on a number of factors, which cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. The purchase price allocation may change materially based on the receipt of more detailed information. Therefore, the actual allocations will differ from the pro forma adjustments presented. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have not yet been completed. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are completed. There can be no assurances that these additional analyses and final valuations will not result in significant changes to the estimates of fair value set forth below.

The following table sets forth a preliminary allocation of the estimated merger consideration to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of TriVascular based on TriVascular’s June 30, 2015 balance sheet, with the excess recorded as goodwill (in thousands):

 

Cash and cash equivalents

     258,167   
  

 

 

 

Estimated goodwill (b) - (a)

   $ 37,495   
  

 

 

 

Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the pro forma financial information consist of anticipated intangibles derived from developed technology, in-process technology, customer related assets, the TriVascular trade name, and covenants not to compete. The amortization related to the amortizable identifiable intangible assets acquired is reflected as a pro forma adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, as further described in Note 5(a). The identifiable intangible assets and related amortization are preliminary and are based on management’s estimates after consideration of similar transactions. As discussed above, the amount that will ultimately be allocated to identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, and the related amount of amortization, may differ materially from this preliminary allocation. In addition, the periods the amortization impacts will ultimately be based upon the periods in which the associated economic benefits or detriments are expected to be derived, or where appropriate, based on the use of a straight-line method. Therefore, the amount of amortization following the Transactions may differ significantly between periods based upon the final value assigned, and amortization methodology used for each identifiable intangible asset.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities have not been established for the adjustments above as it is anticipated that the adjustments will be in entities with a deferred tax valuation allowance.

Goodwill represents the excess of the preliminary estimated merger consideration over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is reviewed for impairment at least annually, absent any indicators of impairment. Goodwill is attributable to planned growth and synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of Endologix and TriVascular. Goodwill recognized in the Merger is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

  (e) Reflects the settlement of TriVascular’s liability for early stock option exercises. All outstanding TriVascular stock options will automatically vest prior to closing of the Merger.

 

  (f)

Reflects adjustments to long-term debt for the anticipated issuance of $150 million in Senior Convertible Notes payable, net of estimated original issue discounts. For purposes of these pro forma financial statements only, Endologix, based on the expected terms of the Senior Convertible Notes and in accordance with the “cash conversion” guidance contained in ASC 470-20, has accounted for the Senior Convertible Notes by allocating the issuance proceeds between the fair value of the debt absent the conversion feature and the fair value of conversion feature as if it were a stand-alone instrument. In applying this guidance, Endologix determined that the expected number of authorized and unissued shares outstanding upon issuance of the Senior Convertible Notes is less than the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered during the term of the Senior Convertible Notes. For purposes of this assessment the number of authorized and unissued shares excludes 13.6 million shares issuable to TriVascular as part of the merger consideration and 14.0 million other shares issuable pursuant to contracts providing counterparties with an option to share settle. Accordingly, for purposes of the unaudited condensed combined pro forma June 30, 2015 balance sheet, the conversion feature has been separated into two components: a component for which share settlement is controlled by Endologix (the “Equity Component”) and a separate component where shareholder approval would be necessary to authorize the requisite

  number of shares to effect share settlement (the “Liability Component”). In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Equity Component is classified as permanent equity and the Liability Component is classified as liability which must be marked to market each period.

The allocation of proceeds to the conversion feature results in a $51.9 million discount on the Senior Convertible Notes which reduces their carrying value from $150 million to $98.2 million. The discount is amortized over the term of the Senior Convertible Notes such that total effective interest expense approximates 13.6%. The allocation was performed by first determining the fair value of the Liability Component. That amount was then deducted from the initial proceeds of the Senior Convertible Notes as a whole to arrive at a residual amount, which was allocated to the Equity Component and the carrying value of the Senior Convertible Notes based on their relative fair values.

For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined June 30, 2015 balance sheet only, Endologix has estimated that the associated financing fees will total $4.3 million. Of this amount, $3.8 million are estimated to be capitalized and $0.5 million are estimated to be allocable to the Equity Component. Fees allocable to the Equity Component are regarded as equity issuance costs and accounted for as a reduction to additional paid in capital.

 

  (g) Reflects the anticipated use of the Senior Convertible Notes to repay existing TriVascular loan balances of $56.2 million, net of an unamortized original issue discount of $3.1 million.

 

  (h) Reflects the elimination of TriVascular’s historical additional paid-in capital and accumulated other comprehensive loss. In addition, reflects the elimination of $204 thousand of TriVascular historical common stock at par, less $14 thousand of par value common stock issuable in connection with the Merger.

 

  (i) Represents the value of approximately 13.6 million shares of Endologix common stock estimated to be issued to TriVascular shareholders in connection with the Merger, with additional paid in capital of $186.8 million.

 

  (j) Reflects the estimated nonrecurring expense associated with the automatic vesting of TriVascular’s outstanding unvested stock options and restricted stock units upon closing of the Merger. No corresponding adjustment has been made to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations due to the one-time nature of the expense.

5. Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

 

  (a) Represents adjustment to record amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets calculated on a straight-line basis. The amortization of intangible assets is based on the periods over which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be realized. Endologix currently does not have access to all relevant information necessary to reliably calculate amortization on a basis other than straight-line. Differences between this preliminary straight-line estimate and the final accounting after the acquisition could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the combined future results of operations and financial position.

The adjustment for the amortization of the identifiable intangible assets is as follows:

Because of the net losses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, shares underlying the Senior Convertible Notes, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units were excluded from the historical and pro forma computation of net loss per share as the effect would have been antidilutive.
