Tactile Systems Technology, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Nature of Business and Operations
Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. (“we,” “us,” and “our”) manufactures and distributes medical devices that help control symptoms of lymphedema, a chronic and progressive medical condition. We provide our Flexitouch® and Entre™ systems through our direct sales force for use in the home and sell or rent them through vascular, wound and lymphedema clinics throughout the United States.
On September 8, 2021, we acquired the assets of the AffloVest airway clearance business (“AffloVest Acquisition”) from International Biophysics Corporation (“IBC”), a privately-held company which developed and manufactures AffloVest. AffloVest is a portable, wearable vest that treats patients with chronic respiratory conditions. We sell this device through home medical equipment and durable medical equipment providers throughout the United States.
We were originally incorporated in Minnesota under the name Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. on January 30, 1995. During 2006, we established a merger corporation and subsequently, on July 21, 2006, merged with and into this merger corporation, resulting in our reincorporation as a Delaware corporation. The resulting corporation assumed the name Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. In September 2013, we began doing business as “Tactile Medical”.
Our business is affected by seasonality. In the first quarter of each year, when most patients have started a new insurance year and have not yet met their annual out-of-pocket payment obligations, we experience substantially reduced demand for our products. We typically experience higher revenue in the third and fourth quarters of the year when patients have met their annual insurance deductibles, thereby reducing their out-of-pocket costs for our products, and because patients desire to exhaust their flexible spending accounts at year end. This seasonality applies only to purchases and rentals of our products by patients covered by commercial insurance and is not relevant to Medicare, Medicaid or the Veterans Administration, as those payers either do not have plans that have declining deductibles over the course of the plan year and/or do not have plans that include patient deductibles for purchases or rentals of our products. Further, seasonality trends have been, and may continue to be, significantly different than historical trends as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those which are normal and recurring) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included.
The results for the three months ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022, or for any other interim period or for any future year. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Swelling Solutions, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Risks and Uncertainties
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The United States economy in general and our business specifically have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the first quarter of 2022, the continued prolonged recovery from COVID-19 and increased Omicron variant cases resulted in restricted access to clinics and hospitals and disrupted the recovery in patient visits versus the pre-COVID environment. The adverse impacts in the first quarter of 2022 were similar to those we experienced during the first quarter of 2021. At this time, there are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last, whether any recovery will be sustained or will reverse course, the severity of any resurgence of COVID-19 or variant strains of the virus, the effectiveness of vaccines and attitudes towards receiving them, or what ultimate effects the pandemic will have. For that reason, we are unable to reasonably estimate the long-term impact of the pandemic on our business at this time.
Since the onset of COVID-19, we have remained proactive to ensure we continue to adapt to the needs of our employees, clinicians and patients. We cannot assure you these changes to our processes and practices will be successful in mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on our business. We continue to evaluate and, if appropriate, will adopt other measures in the future related to the ongoing safety of our employees, clinicians and patients.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Comprehensive (Loss) Income
Comprehensive (loss) income reflects the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Policies
There were no material changes in our significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2022, except as set forth below. See Note 3 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for information regarding our significant accounting policies.
Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effect of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), addressing the discontinuation of LIBOR, a widely used reference rate for pricing financial products. The ASU is intended to provide optional expedients and exceptions if certain criteria are met when accounting for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR, or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The application and adoption requirements of ASU 2020-04 are optional until December 31, 2022 and vary based on expedients elected. We have not elected any expedients to date and are currently evaluating any potential future impacts on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Acquisitions
On September 8, 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“AffloVest APA”) to acquire the AffloVest airway clearance business from IBC. Under the terms of the AffloVest APA, we agreed to pay IBC a total of up to $100.0 million for the purchase of substantially all of the assets related to its branded high frequency chest wall oscillation vest therapy business, other than specifically identified excluded assets. We acquired AffloVest to further expand our position as a leader in treating patients with underserved chronic conditions in the home. The acquired assets included inventory, tooling, intellectual property, permits and approvals, data and records, and customer and supplier information. At closing, $80.0 million of the purchase price was paid, of which a total of $0.5 million was deposited into an escrow account at closing for purposes of satisfying certain post-closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification claims. Subsequent to closing, $0.2 million was returned to us as a result of working capital adjustments. The AffloVest acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from borrowings.
Two earn-out payments of up to $10.0 million each are potentially due to IBC under the AffloVest APA depending on the achievement of specified revenue targets, as follows:
| ● | Initial Earn-Out: Equal to 1.5 times the amount by which the AffloVest U.S. revenues in the period from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022 (the “Initial Earn-Out Period”) exceed a specified amount; provided that in no event will the payment exceed $10.0 million; and |
| ● | Second Earn-Out: Equal to 1.5 times the amount by which the AffloVest U.S. revenues in the period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023 exceed the revenues recognized during the Initial Earn-Out Period; provided that in no event will the payment exceed $10.0 million. |
The fair value of the earn-out as of the acquisition date was $6.4 million. The fair value of the earn-out, reflecting management’s estimate of the likelihood of achieving these targets, was determined by employing a Monte Carlo Simulation model. This amount and the current versus non-current allocation will be remeasured at the end of each reporting period until the payment requirement ends, with any adjustments reported in income from operations (see Note 15 – “Fair Value Measurements”).
On the date of AffloVest Acquisition, we allocated the assets acquired based on an estimate of their fair values. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation:
(In millions) |
| Allocated Fair Value | |
Inventories | $ | 1.6 | |
Property and equipment(1) | — | ||
Intangible assets | 53.5 | ||
Goodwill | 31.1 | ||
Purchase price | $ | 86.2 | |
| (1) | The purchase price included less than $0.1 million of property and equipment. |
The goodwill reflects expected synergies of combining the acquired products and customer information with our existing operations, and is deductible for tax purposes over 15 years.
The following table reflects the allocation of purchase price to the acquired intangible assets and related estimated useful lives:
(In millions) |
| Allocated Fair Value | Estimated Useful Life | ||
Customer relationships | $ | 31.0 | 13 years | ||
Developed technology | 13.0 | 11 years | |||
Tradenames |
| 9.5 | Indefinite | ||
Total intangible assets | $ | 53.5 | |||
The weighted-average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets was 12.3 years.
10
The fair market valuations associated with the assets acquired fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, due to the use of significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value. The fair value measurements were calculated using unobservable inputs, primarily using the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method. The amount and timing of future cash flows within our analysis was based on our due diligence models, most recent operational budgets, long-range strategic plans and other estimates.
Note 5. Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following:

Note 6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we completed the AffloVest Acquisition. The purchase price of the AffloVest product line exceeded the net acquisition-date estimated fair value amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by $31.1 million, which was assigned to goodwill.

Note 9. Credit Agreement
On April 30, 2021, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent. The Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated in its entirety our prior credit agreement.
On September 8, 2021, we entered into a First Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amends the Restated Credit Agreement (as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Amendment, among other things, adds a $30.0 million incremental term loan to the $25.0 million revolving credit facility provided by the Restated Credit Agreement. The term loan is reflected on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a note payable. The term loan and the revolving credit facility mature on September 8, 2024. The Credit Agreement provides that, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, we may increase the amount of the revolving loans available under the Credit Agreement and/or add one or more term loan facilities in an amount not to exceed $25.0 million in the aggregate, such that the total aggregate principal amount of loans available under the Credit Agreement (including under the revolving credit facility) does not exceed $80.0 million.
On September 8, 2021, in connection with the closing of the AffloVest Acquisition, we borrowed the $30.0 million term loan and utilized that borrowing, together with a draw of $25.0 million under the revolving credit facility and cash on hand, to fund the purchase price.
13
On February 22, 2022, we entered into a Second Amendment Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which further amended the Credit Agreement, including with respect to the financial covenants.
The principal of the term loan is required to be repaid in quarterly installments of $750,000 commencing January 7, 2022, through July 8, 2024, with the remaining outstanding balance due on September 8, 2024. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, we made a mandatory principal prepayment of the term loan of $3.0 million on February 22, 2022.
As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of the term loan was $26.3 million and the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility was $25.0 million. As of March 31, 2022, there was no availability under our Credit Agreement.
The term loan and amounts drawn under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to (a) the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) LIBOR for an interest period of one month plus 1% (the “Base Rate”) plus an applicable margin or (b) LIBOR for an interest period of one, three or six months, at our option, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin is 0.75% to 2.25% on loans bearing interest at the Base Rate and 1.75% to 3.25% on loans bearing interest at LIBOR, in each case depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio; except that, pursuant to the Second Amendment, during the period commencing on February 22, 2022 and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023, the applicable margin for LIBOR rate loans is 3.50%. At March 31, 2022, all outstanding borrowings were subject to interest at a rate calculated at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, for an interest rate of 3.70%. Undrawn portions of the revolving credit facility are subject to an unused line fee at a rate per annum from 0.300% to 0.375%, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio.
Maturities of the term loan for the next three years as of March 31, 2022, are as follows:

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and are also guaranteed by our subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains a number of restrictions and covenants, including that we maintain compliance with a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum consolidated EBITDA covenant, and a minimum liquidity covenant. As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Obligations
We lease property and equipment under operating leases, typically with terms greater than 12 months, and determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. In general, an arrangement contains a lease if there is an identified asset and we have the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the identified asset. We record an operating lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term on the commencement date. The related right of use (“ROU”) operating lease asset reflects rental escalation clauses, as well as renewal options and/or termination options. The exercise of lease renewal and/or termination options are at our discretion and are included in the determination of the lease term and lease payment obligations when it is deemed reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, certain leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.
We classify our leases as buildings, vehicles or computer and office equipment and do not separate lease and nonlease components of contracts for any of the aforementioned classifications. In accordance with
14
applicable guidance, we do not record leases with terms that are less than one year on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
None of our lease agreements contain material restrictive covenants or residual value guarantees.
Buildings
We lease certain office and warehouse space at various locations in the United States where we provide services. These leases are typically greater than one year with fixed, escalating rents over the noncancelable terms and, therefore, ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with rent expense to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The remaining lease terms vary from approximately to eight years as of March 31, 2022.
We entered into a lease (“initial lease”) in October 2018, for approximately 80,000 square feet of office space for our new corporate headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In December 2018, we amended the initial lease to add approximately 29,000 square feet of additional office space, which is accounted for as a separate lease (“second lease”) in accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”). In December 2019, we further amended the lease which extended the expiration date of the initial lease, extended the expiration date of and added approximately 4,000 square feet to the second lease, as well as added approximately 37,000 square feet of additional office space, accounted for as a separate lease (“third lease”) in accordance with ASC 842. The portion of the space covered under the initial lease was placed in service in September 2019. This portion was recognized as an operating lease and included in the ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The portion of the space covered under the second lease commenced in September 2020. Finally, the portion of the space covered under the third lease commenced in September 2021.
Vehicles
We lease vehicles for certain members of our field sales organization under a vehicle fleet program whereby the initial, noncancelable lease is for a term of 367 days, thus more than one year. Subsequent to the initial term, the lease becomes a month-to-month, cancelable lease. As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately 32 vehicles with agreements within the initial, noncancelable lease term that are recorded as ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities. In addition to monthly rental fees specific to the vehicle, there are fixed monthly nonlease components that have been included in the ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities. The nonlease components are not significant.
Computer and Office Equipment
We also have operating lease agreements for certain computer and office equipment. The remaining lease terms as of March 31, 2022, ranged from less than one year to approximately four years with fixed monthly payments that are included in the ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities. The leases provide an option to purchase the related equipment at fair market value at the end of the lease. The leases will automatically renew as a month-to-month rental at the end of the lease if the equipment is not purchased or returned.

Major Vendors
We had purchases from two vendors that accounted for 29% of our total purchases for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and from two vendors that accounted for 33% of our total purchases for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Purchase Commitments
We issued purchase orders prior to March 31, 2022, totaling $38.8 million for goods that we expect to receive within the next year.
16
Retirement Plan
We maintain a 401(k) retirement plan for our employees in which eligible employees can contribute a percentage of their pre-tax compensation. We recorded an expense related to our discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan of $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are subject to various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
We and certain of our present or former officers have been sued in a purported securities class action lawsuit that was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on September 29, 2020, and that is pending under the caption Brian Mart v. Tactile Systems Technology, Inc., et al., File No. 0:20-cv-02074-NEB-BRT. On April 19, 2021, the plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint against us and eight of our present and former officers and directors. Plaintiff seeks to represent a class consisting of investors who purchased our common stock in the market during the time period from May 7, 2018 through June 8, 2020 (“alleged class period”). The Amended Complaint alleges the following claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): (1) that we and certain officer defendants made materially false or misleading public statements about our business, operational and compliance policies, and results during the alleged class period in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act; (2) that we and the individual defendants engaged in a scheme to defraud investors in order to allow the individual defendants to sell our stock in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act; (3) that the individual defendants engaged in improper insider trading of our stock in violation of Section 20A of the Exchange Act; and (4) that we and the individual defendants are liable under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act because each defendant is a controlling person. On June 18, 2021, we and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. On March 31, 2022, the court granted in part, and denied in part, the defendants’ motion to dismiss. All claims against three individual defendants were dismissed, and most claims against four other individual defendants were dismissed. The Company remains a defendant on alleged Sections 10(b) and 20(a) claims. We are defending the action as it proceeds.
Note 11. Stockholders' Equity
Stock-Based Compensation
Our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) authorizes us to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units and other stock-based awards to employees, non-employee directors and certain consultants and advisors. There were up to 4,800,000 shares of our common stock initially reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2016 Plan will automatically increase annually on January 1 of each calendar year, commencing in 2017 and ending on and including January 1, 2026, by an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) 5% of the number of common shares of stock outstanding as of December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, or (b) 2,500,000 shares; provided, however, that our Board of Directors may determine that any annual increase be a lesser number. In addition, all awards granted under our 2007 Omnibus Stock Plan and our 2003 Stock Option Plan that were outstanding when the 2016 Plan became effective and that are forfeited, expired, cancelled, settled for cash or otherwise not issued, will become available for issuance under the 2016 Plan. Pursuant to the automatic increase feature of the 2016 Plan, 972,591 shares were added as available for issuance thereunder on January 1, 2021. Our Board of Directors exercised its prerogative to forego the automatic increase on January 1, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, 5,919,092 shares were available for future grant pursuant to the 2016 Plan.
Upon adoption and approval of the 2016 Plan, all of our previous equity incentive compensation plans were terminated. However, existing awards under those plans continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedules and will expire at the end of their original terms.
17
We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $2.2 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This expense was allocated as follows:
Stock Options
Stock options issued to participants other than non-employees typically vest over or four years and typically have a contractual term of or ten years. Stock-based compensation expense included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for stock options was $0.7 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022, there was approximately $4.0 million of total unrecognized pre-tax stock option expense under our equity compensation plans, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.
Our stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was as follows:
| (1) | The exercise price of each option granted during the period shown was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. |
| (2) | The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised represents the difference between the exercise price of the option and the closing stock price of our common stock on the date of exercise. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding represents the difference between the exercise price of the option and the closing stock price of our common stock on the last trading day of the period. |
Options exercisable of 546,067 as of March 31, 2021, had a weighted-average exercise price of $30.27 per share.
Time-Based Restricted Stock Units
We have granted time-based restricted stock units to certain participants under the 2016 Plan that are stock-settled with common shares. Time-based restricted stock units granted under the 2016 Plan vest over to three years. Stock-based compensation expense included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for time-based restricted stock units was $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022, there was approximately $11.2 million of total unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to outstanding time-based restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.
18
Our time-based restricted stock unit activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was as follows:
| (1) | The aggregate intrinsic value of restricted stock units outstanding was based on our closing stock price on the last trading day of the period. |
| (2) | For the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors in lieu of their quarterly cash retainer payments. As of March 31, 2022, there were 6,469 outstanding restricted stock units that had been previously granted to non-employee directors in lieu of their quarterly cash retainer payments. |
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
We have granted performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to certain participants under the 2016 Plan. These PSUs have both performance-based and time-based vesting features. The PSUs granted in 2020 would have been earned to the extent performance goals based on revenue and adjusted EBITDA were achieved in 2021, but none were so earned. The PSUs granted in 2021 will be earned if and to the extent performance goals based on revenue and adjusted EBITDA are achieved in 2022. The PSUs granted in 2022 will be earned if and to the extent performance goals based on revenue change and adjusted EBITDA margin are achieved in 2023. The number of PSUs earned will depend on the level at which the performance targets are achieved and can range from 50% of target if the minimum performance threshold is achieved and up to 150% of target if maximum performance is achieved. of the earned PSUs will vest on the date the Compensation and Organization Committee certifies the number of PSUs earned, and the remaining of the earned PSUs will vest on the first anniversary of that certification date. All earned and vested PSUs will be settled in shares of common stock.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized for PSUs was a benefit of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The stock-based compensation benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 reflected a $0.2 million benefit due to a change in the estimated payout associated with PSUs granted in 2021 being below the performance target threshold level, as defined, partially offset by an expense of $0.1 million related to the PSUs granted in 2022. The stock-based compensation benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflected a $0.5 million benefit due to a change in the estimated payout associated with PSUs granted in 2020 being below the minimum performance target threshold level, as defined, partially offset by an expense of $0.2 million related to the PSUs granted in 2018 and 2021. At March 31, 2022, there was approximately $2.8 million of total unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to outstanding PSUs that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.
19
Our performance-based restricted stock unit activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was as follows:
| (1) | The aggregate intrinsic value of performance-based restricted stock units outstanding was based on our closing stock price on the last trading day of the period. |
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Our employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), which was approved by our Board of Directors on April 27, 2016, and by our stockholders on June 20, 2016, allows participating employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. The ESPP is available to all of our employees and employees of participating subsidiaries. Participating employees may purchase common stock, on a voluntary after-tax basis, at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the closing market price per share of our common stock on the first or last trading day of each stock purchase period. The ESPP provides for six-month purchase periods, beginning on May 16 and November 16 of each calendar year.
A total of 1,600,000 shares of common stock was initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP. This share reserve will automatically be supplemented each January 1, commencing in 2017 and ending on and including January 1, 2026, by an amount equal to the least of (a) 1% of the shares of our common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, (b) 500,000 shares or (c) such lesser amount as our Board of Directors may determine. Pursuant to the automatic increase feature of the ESPP, 194,518 shares were added as available for issuance thereunder on January 1, 2021. Our Board of Directors exercised its prerogative to forego the automatic increase on January 1, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, 1,708,760 shares were available for future issuance under the ESPP. We recognized stock-based compensation expense associated with the ESPP of $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Note 12. Revenue

Our revenue by channel, inclusive of sales and rental revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, are summarized in the following table:
Our rental revenue is derived from rent-to-purchase arrangements that typically range from to . As title transfers to the patient, with whom we have the contract, upon the termination of the lease term and because collectability is probable, under ASC 842, these are recognized as sales-type leases. Each rental agreement contains two components, the controller and related garments, both of which are interdependent and recognized as one lease component.
The revenue and associated cost of revenue of sales-type leases are recognized on the lease commencement date and a net investment in leases is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We bill the patients’ insurance payers monthly over the duration of the rental term. We record the net investment in leases and recognize revenue upon commencement of the lease in the amount of the expected consideration to be received through the monthly payments. Similar to our sales revenue, the transaction price is impacted by multiple factors, including the terms and conditions contracted by third-party payers. As the rental contract resides with the patients, we have elected the portfolio approach, at the payer level, to determine the expected consideration, which considers the impact of early terminations. While the contract is with the patient, in certain circumstances, the third-party payer elects an initial rental period with an option to extend. We assess the likelihood of extending the lease at the onset of the lease to determine if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. As the lease is short-term in nature, we anticipate collection of substantially all of the net investment within the first year of the lease agreement. Completion of these payments represents the fair market value of the equipment, and as such, interest income is not applicable.
Rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, was primarily from private insurers. Sales-type lease revenue and the associated cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, was:

Note 13. Income Taxes
We record our interim provision for income taxes by applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date pre-tax income and adjusting for discrete tax items recorded in the period. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the reporting of amounts for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes. These differences relate primarily to different methods used for income tax reporting purposes, including for depreciation and amortization, warranty and vacation accruals, and deductions related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and inventory reserves. Our provision for income taxes included current federal and state income tax expense, as well as deferred federal and state income tax expense.
21
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was an expense of 1.4%, compared to a benefit of 44.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The primary driver of the change in our effective tax rate is primarily attributable to a full valuation allowance being recorded for net deferred tax assets for the current year period, whereas no valuation allowance was recorded for the same period in 2021. We recorded an income tax expense of $0.2 million and a benefit of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
We recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority is more-likely-than-not to sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
We are currently under examination by the New York Department of Taxation and Finance for tax years 2017, 2018, and 2019. The examination may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes or our net operating losses with respect to years under examination as well as subsequent periods. In the event of any future tax assessments, we have elected to record the income taxes and any related interest and penalties as income tax expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company is not under examination in any other jurisdictions.

Note 15. Fair Value Measurements
We determine the fair value of our assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We use a fair value hierarchy with three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1). The next highest
22
priority is based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets or other observable inputs (Level 2). The lowest priority is given to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
We have obligations to pay up to $20.0 million in earn-out payments in cash if certain future U.S. revenues of the AffloVest are met. The earn-out liability was valued by employing a Monte Carlo Simulation model in a risk-neutral framework, which is a Level 3 input. The underlying simulated variable includes recognized revenue. The recognized revenue volatility estimate was based on a study of historical asset volatility for a set of comparable public companies. The model includes other assumptions including the market price of risk, which was calculated as the weighted average cost of capital less the long-term risk-free rate. The earn-out liability will be adjusted to fair value at each reporting date until settled. Changes in fair value will be included in intangible asset amortization and earn-out expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Changes in the earn-out liability measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs were as follows:

Earn-out liability at December 31, 2021 | $ | 6,200 | |
Addition for acquisition | — | ||
Fair value adjustments | 6,450 | ||
Earn-out liability at March 31, 2022 | $ | 12,650 | |
As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of the earn-out liability totaled $12.7 million, of which $3.5 million was non-current.
The following provides information regarding fair value measurements for our earn-out liability as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, according to the three-level fair value hierarchy:

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these items. Non-financial assets, such as equipment and leasehold improvements, and intangible assets are subject to non-recurring fair value measurements if they are deemed impaired.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The United States economy in general and our business specifically have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the first quarter of 2022, the continued prolonged recovery from COVID-19 and increased Omicron variant cases resulted in restricted access to clinics and hospitals and disrupted the recovery in patient visits versus the pre-COVID environment. The adverse impacts in the first quarter of 2022 were similar to those we experienced during the first quarter of 2021. At this time, there are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last, whether any recovery will be sustained or will reverse course, the severity of any resurgence of COVID-19 or variant strains of the virus, the effectiveness of vaccines and attitudes towards receiving them, or what ultimate effects the pandemic will have. For that reason, we are unable to reasonably estimate the long-term impact of the pandemic on our business at this time.
Since the onset of COVID-19, we have remained proactive to ensure we continue to adapt to the needs of our employees, clinicians and patients. However, we cannot assure you these changes to our processes and practices will be successful in mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on our business. We continue to evaluate and, if appropriate, will adopt other measures in the future related to the ongoing safety of our employees, clinicians and patients.
Overview
We are a medical technology company that develops and provides innovative medical devices for the treatment of underserved chronic diseases. Our mission is to help people suffering from chronic diseases live better and care for themselves at home. We focus our efforts on advancing the standard of care in treating underserved chronic diseases in the home setting to improve patient outcomes and quality of life and help control rising healthcare expenditures. Our areas of therapeutic focus are (1) vascular disease, with a goal of advancing the standard of care in treating lymphedema and chronic venous insufficiency, (2) oncology, where lymphedema is a common consequence among cancer survivors and (3) providing airway clearance therapy for those suffering from chronic respiratory conditions. We possess a unique, scalable platform to deliver at-home healthcare solutions throughout the United States. This evolving home care delivery model is recognized by policymakers and insurance payers as a key for controlling rising healthcare costs. Our solutions deliver cost-effective, clinically proven, long-term treatment for people with these chronic diseases.
Our current lymphedema products are the Flexitouch and Entre systems and our airway clearance product the AffloVest. A predecessor to our Flexitouch system received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in July 2002, and we introduced the system to address the many limitations of self-administered home-based manual lymphatic drainage therapy. We began selling our more advanced Flexitouch system after receiving 510(k) clearance from the FDA in October 2006. In September 2016, we received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the Flexitouch system in treating lymphedema of the head and neck. In June 2017, we announced that we received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the Flexitouch Plus, the third-generation version of our Flexitouch system. In December 2020, we received 510(k) clearance for two new indications for our Flexitouch Plus system: phlebolymphedema and lipedema. We introduced our Entre system in the United States in February 2013. The Entre system is sold or rented to patients who need a simple pump or who do not yet qualify for insurance reimbursement for an advanced compression device such as our Flexitouch system. We derive the vast majority of our revenue from our lymphedema product line. Sales and rentals of our lymphedema products represented 85% and 100% of our revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
On September 8, 2021, we acquired the assets of the AffloVest airway clearance product line from IBC, a privately-held company which developed and manufactures AffloVest. AffloVest is a portable, wearable vest that provides airway clearance to treat patients with chronic respiratory conditions such as bronchiectasis or

conditions resulting from neuromuscular disorders. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, sales of AffloVest represented 15% our revenue.
To support the growth of our business, we invest heavily in our commercial infrastructure, consisting of our direct sales force, training resources, reimbursement capabilities and clinical expertise. We market our lymphedema products in the United States using a direct-to-patient and -provider model. The AffloVest device is sold through respiratory durable medical equipment providers throughout the United States that service patients and bill third-party payers for the product. We also employ a small group of respiratory specialists, who educate DME provider representatives, provide product demonstrations for targeted clinicians and support technical questions related to the AffloVest. As of March 31, 2022, we employed a field staff of 268 Tactile employees, made up of sales representatives, as well as managers, who provide support throughout the United States for our lymphedema and respiratory therapies. This compares to 244 as of March 31, 2021.
As it relates to the impact of COVID-19 on our commercial processes, in the first quarter of 2022, the continued prolonged recovery from COVID-19 and increased Omicron variant cases resulted in restricted access to clinics and hospitals and disrupted the recovery in patient visits versus the pre-COVID environment. The adverse impacts in the first quarter of 2022 were similar to those we experienced during the first quarter of 2021.
We invest substantial resources in our reimbursement function to improve operational efficiencies and enhance individual payer expertise, while continuing our strategic focus of payer development. Our payer relations function focuses on payer policy development, education, contract negotiations, and data analysis. Our reimbursement operations function is responsible for verifying patient insurance benefits, individual patient case development, prior authorization submissions, case follow-up, and appeals when necessary. Since the onset of COVID-19, our reimbursement function has been actively working with Medicare and a broad base of private payers to understand the ever-changing reimbursement criteria being introduced. We have seen increased flexibility in coverage criteria with select payers in which they now allow the use of virtual patient interactions in place of the previously required in-person interactions. However, as these circumstances are ever-changing, the extent to which these changes will remain in place and the impact on our business in the future are not determinable at this time.
We also have a clinical team, consisting of a scientific advisory board, in-house therapists and nurses, and a Chief Medical Officer, that serves as a resource to clinicians and patients and guides the development of clinical evidence in support of our products. Most clinical studies require observation and interaction with clinicians and patients to monitor results and progress. Given the impact of COVID-19, patient recruitment for our clinical studies involving our products and clinical outcomes had previously been suspended in 2020. In 2021, all of our clinical trials resumed research activities, including study visits and new patient enrollments, albeit more slowly than the targeted enrollment rates.
We rely on third party contract manufacturers for the sourcing of parts, the assembly of our controllers and the manufacturing of the garments used with our systems. We conduct final assembly of the garments used with our lymphedema products, perform quality assurance and ship our products from our facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The AffloVest device continued to be manufactured and shipped by IBC on our behalf pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement through April 30, 2022. We will be manufacturing and shipping the AffloVest device going forward.
To date, our supply chain has not been materially impacted by COVID-19. We continue to receive our product on time and believe that we have enough safety stock to meet our short and mid-term demand. However, we cannot assure you that our supply chain will not be materially impacted in the future.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we generated revenue of $48.0 million and had a net loss of $15.6 million, compared to revenue of $42.8 million and a net loss of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Our primary sources of capital since our initial public offering in 2016 have been from operating income and bank financing.
We operate in one segment for financial reporting purposes.

Revenue
Revenue increased $5.2 million, or 12%, to $48.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $42.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in total revenue was attributable to $7.3 million in sales of the airway clearance product line, which includes the AffloVest product acquired on September 8, 2021, partially offset by a decrease of $2.1 million, or 5%, in sales and rentals of the lymphedema product line in the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to the 2021 first quarter. First quarter 2022 revenue was negatively impacted by the prolonged recovery from COVID-19, including the resurgence due to the Omicron variant during the period, which resulted in restricted access to clinics and hospitals and disrupted the recovery in patient visits versus the pre-COVID environment. In addition, the challenging labor market continued to impact our ability to recruit and retain quality candidates for our direct sales force.
Revenue from the Veterans Administration represented 12% and 14% of total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue from Medicare represented 18% and 20% of total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The following table summarizes our revenue by product line for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, both in dollars and percentage of total revenue:
“N.M.” Not Meaningful
Our business is affected by seasonality. In the first quarter of each year, when most patients have started a new insurance year and have not yet met their annual out-of-pocket payment obligations, we experience substantially reduced demand for our products. We typically experience higher revenue in the third and fourth quarters of the year when patients have met their annual insurance deductibles, thereby reducing their out-of-pocket costs for our products, and because patients desire to exhaust their flexible spending accounts at year end. This seasonality applies only to purchases and rentals of our products by patients covered by commercial insurance and is not relevant to Medicare, Medicaid or the Veterans Administration, as those payers either do not have plans that have declining deductibles over the course of the plan year and/or do not have plans that include patient deductibles for purchases or rentals of our products. Further, seasonality trends have been, and may continue to be, significantly different than historical trends as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin
Cost of revenue increased $1.6 million, or 13%, to $14.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $12.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to the additional contribution of AffloVest sales and an increase in inbound freight costs.
The total gross margin was 71% of sales in each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
28
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased $5.1 million, or 27%, to $23.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $18.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a:
| ● | $4.6 million increase in personnel-related compensation expense as a result of the increased headcount in the collective field commercial team; |
| ● | $1.0 million increase in travel and entertainment expense due to eased restrictions on travel; and |
| ● | $0.3 million increase in sales meetings and tradeshows. |
These increases were partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in external patient training expense as a result of transitioning to employee trainers.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses increased $0.3 million, or 20%, to $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, which was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel-related compensation expense and R&D supplies.
Reimbursement, General and Administrative Expenses
Reimbursement, general and administrative expenses increased $2.0 million, or 14%, to $16.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $14.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to a:
| ● | $1.2 million increase in occupancy costs, depreciation expense, and legal and professional fees; and |
| ● | $0.8 million increase in personnel-related compensation expense as a result of increased headcount in our reimbursement operations, payer relations and corporate functions. |
Intangible Asset Amortization and Earn-out Expense
Intangible asset amortization and earn-out expense increased $7.0 million to $7.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in intangible asset amortization and earn-out expense was primarily attributable to the increase in the estimated fair value of our earn-out liability.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net was $0.5 million and $10 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other expense was primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense.
Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax expense of $0.2 million and an income tax benefit of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The difference relates to a full valuation allowance being recorded against all deferred tax assets in the current year.
29
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
At March 31, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $21.2 million and net accounts receivable of $59.5 million. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $28.2 million and net accounts receivable of $62.3 million at December 31, 2021.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $3.2 million, resulting from a net loss of $15.6 million and a net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $2.1 million, which was partially offset by non-cash net income (loss) adjustments of $10.3 million. The non-cash net income (loss) adjustments consisted primarily of $6.5 million related to a change in fair value of earn-out liability, $2.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.5 million of depreciation and amortization expense and $0.1 million of deferred income tax expense. The uses of cash related to changes in operating assets primarily consisted of decreases in accounts receivable of $2.8 million and in net investment in leases of $0.2 million, partially offset by increases in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.6 million and in inventories of $0.3 million. The changes in operating liabilities consisted of a decrease in accrued payroll and related taxes of $2.7 million, partially offset by increases in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1.4 million and accounts payable of $1.2 million.
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $0.8 million, resulting from a net loss of $2.3 million which was offset by non-cash net income (loss) adjustments of $1.4 million and a net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $0.1 million. The non-cash net income (loss) adjustments consisted primarily of $2.5 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.8 million in deferred taxes and $0.7 million of depreciation and amortization expense.

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $0.3 million consisting of purchases of property and equipment, and patent costs.
30
Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $3.7 million, primarily consisting of payments of $3.8 million made on our term loan, slightly offset by $0.1 million in proceeds from exercise of common stock options.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021, was $0.2 million, consisting of $1.3 million in proceeds from exercise of common stock options, partially offset by $1.1 million in taxes paid for the net share settlement of performance and restricted stock units.
Credit Agreement
On April 30, 2021, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent. The Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated in its entirety our prior credit agreement.
On September 8, 2021, we entered into a First Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amends the Restated Credit Agreement (as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Amendment, among other things, adds a $30.0 million incremental term loan to the $25.0 million revolving credit facility provided by the Restated Credit Agreement. The term loan is reflected on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a note payable. The term loan and the revolving credit facility mature on September 8, 2024. The Credit Agreement provides that, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, we may increase the amount of the revolving loans available under the Credit Agreement and/or add one or more term loan facilities in an amount not to exceed $25.0 million in the aggregate, such that the total aggregate principal amount of loans available under the Credit Agreement (including under the revolving credit facility) does not exceed $80.0 million.
On September 8, 2021, in connection with the closing of the AffloVest Acquisition, we borrowed the $30.0 million term loan and utilized that borrowing, together with a draw of $25.0 million under the revolving credit facility and cash on hand, to fund the purchase price.
On February 22, 2022, we entered into a Second Amendment Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which further amends the Credit Agreement, including with respect to the financial covenants.
The principal of the term loan is required to be repaid in quarterly installments of $750,000 commencing January 7, 2022, through July 8, 2024, with the remaining outstanding balance due on September 8, 2024. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, we made a mandatory principal prepayment of the term loan of $3.0 million on February 22, 2022.
As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of the term loan was $26.3 million and the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility was $25.0 million. As of March 31, 2022, there was no availability under our Credit Agreement.
Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and are also guaranteed by our subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains a number of restrictions and covenants, including that we maintain compliance with a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum consolidated EBITDA covenant and a minimum liquidity covenant. As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.
For additional information regarding the Credit Agreement, including interest rates, fees and maturities, see Note 9 – “Credit Agreement” of the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report.

Future Cash Requirements
For a discussion of our material estimated future cash requirements under our contractual obligations and commercial commitments, in total and disaggregated into current and long-term, see “Future Cash Requirements” included in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes since December 31, 2021.
Adequacy of Resources
Our future cash requirements may vary significantly from those now planned and will depend on many factors, including:
| ● | the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business; |
| ● | sales and marketing resources needed to further penetrate our market; |
| ● | expansion of our operations domestically and/or internationally; |
| ● | response of competitors to our solutions and applications; |
| ● | costs associated with clinical research activities; |
| ● | increases in interest rates; |
| ● | labor shortages and wage inflation; |
| ● | costs to develop and implement new products; and |
| ● | use of capital for acquisitions or licenses, if any. |
Historically, we have experienced increases in our expenditures consistent with the growth in our revenue, operations and personnel, and we anticipate that our expenditures will continue to increase as we expand our business.
Although the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors such as inflation and rising interest rates are difficult to predict, we believe our cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, debt repayment and related interest, and other cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 3 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report for a description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that are applicable to our business.

For a discussion on our market risks, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes since December 31, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
