NOTE REGARDING FORWA RD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘could,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘target,’’ ‘‘project,’’ ‘‘contemplate,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘predict,’’ ‘‘potential’’ or ‘‘continue’’ or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:

 

estimates regarding the annual total addressable market for our Precision Flow systems, future results of operations, financial position, capital requirements and our needs for additional financing;

 

commercial success and market acceptance of our Precision Flow systems and any future products we may seek to commercialize;

 

competitive companies and technologies in our industry;

 

our ability to enhance our Hi-VNI Technology, expand our indications and develop and commercialize additional products;

 

our business model and strategic plans for our products, technologies and business, including our implementation thereof;

 

our ability to accurately forecast customer demand for our products and manage our inventory;

 

our ability to expand, manage and maintain our direct sales and marketing organization, and to market and sell our Hi-VNI Technology in markets outside of the United States;

 

our ability to hire and retain our senior management and other highly qualified personnel;

 

our ability to obtain additional financing in the future;

 

our ability to commercialize or obtain regulatory approvals for our products, or the effect of delays in commercializing or obtaining regulatory approvals;

 

U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other United States or foreign regulatory actions affecting us or the healthcare industry generally, including healthcare reform measures in the United States and international markets;

 

the timing or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals;

 

our ability to establish and maintain intellectual property protection for our Hi-VNI Technology and Precision Flow systems or avoid claims of infringement;

 

the volatility of the trading price of our common stock; and

 

our expectations about market trends.

The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are only predictions and are based largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 22, 2019, Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and in our other filings with the SEC. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. Any forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q concerning our industry and the markets in which we operate, including our general expectations, market position and market opportunity, is based on our management’s estimates and research, as well as industry and general publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. We believe that the information from these third-party publications, research, surveys and studies included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is reliable. Management’s estimates are derived from publicly available information, their knowledge of our industry and their assumptions based on such information and knowledge, which we believe to be reasonable. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations which are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. These and other factors could cause our future performance to differ materially from our assumptions and estimates.

1. Description of Business

Vapotherm, Inc. (the “Company”) was founded in 1993 and reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2013. Since inception, the Company has focused on the development and commercialization of its proprietary Hi-VNI Technology products that are used to treat patients of all ages suffering from respiratory distress. The Company’s Hi-VNI Technology delivers non-invasive ventilatory support by providing heated, humidified and oxygenated air at a high velocity to patients through a comfortable small-bore nasal interface. The Company’s Precision Flow systems, which use Hi-VNI Technology, are clinically validated alternatives to, and address many limitations of, the current standard of care for the treatment of respiratory distress in a hospital setting.

The Company offers four versions of its Precision Flow systems: Precision Flow Hi-VNI, Precision Flow Plus, Precision Flow Classic and Precision Flow Heliox. The Company generates revenue primarily from sales of its Precision Flow systems, which include capital units and single-use disposables, and to a lesser extent, sales of its companion products, which include the Vapotherm Transfer Unit 2.0, the Q50 compressor and various adaptors. The Company sells Precision Flow systems to hospitals through a direct sales force in the United States and in the United Kingdom and through distributors in select other countries outside of the United States. In addition, the Company utilizes clinical educators who are typically experienced users of Hi-VNI Technology and who focus on medical education efforts to facilitate adoption and increase utilization. The Company is focused on physicians, respiratory therapists and nurses who work in acute hospital settings, including the emergency department and adult, pediatric and neonatal intensive care units (the “ICUs”). The Company’s relationship with these clinicians is particularly important, as it enables its products to follow patients through the care continuum.

Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through an initial public offering of its common stock, private placements of its convertible preferred stock, sales of its Precision Flow systems and amounts borrowed under its credit facilities. The Company has devoted the majority of its resources to research and development activities related to its Precision Flow systems, including regulatory initiatives and sales and marketing activities. The Company has invested heavily in its sales and marketing function by increasing the number of sales representatives and clinical educators to facilitate adoption and increase utilization of its Hi-VNI Technology products and expanded its digital marketing initiatives and medical education programs.

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the medical device industry, including, but not limited to, the successful development and commercialization of its Precision Flow products, fluctuations in operating results and financial risks, protection of proprietary knowledge and patent risks, dependence on key personnel and collaborative partners, competition, technological and manufacturing risks, customer acceptance and demand, compliance with the Food and Drug Administration and other governmental regulations, management of growth and effectiveness of marketing by the Company and by third parties.

On November 16, 2018, the Company completed an initial public offering of 4,600,000 shares of common stock at a price of $14.00 per share, which raised net proceeds of $57.4 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $4.5 million and offering expenses of $2.5 million.

On February 28, 2019, the Company acquired its United Kingdom based distributor. See Note 18 “Business Combinations” to these consolidated financial statements for details of this transaction.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). Our accounting policies are described in the “ Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ” in our 2018 Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in this report. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Solus Medical Ltd. (“Solus"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company based in the United Kingdom, which was acquired in the first quarter of 2019. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these consolidated financial statements include calculation of stock-based compensation, fair values of acquired assets and liabilities, including goodwill and intangibles assets, realizability of inventories, allowance for bad debt and accrued expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019, the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit) and of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2019 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are also unaudited. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 230”) to add or clarify guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The new standard requires cash and cash equivalents balances on the statement of cash flows to include restricted cash and cash equivalent balances. ASU 2016-18 requires the company to provide appropriate disclosures about its accounting policies pertaining to restricted cash in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents that result from transfers between cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should not be presented as cash flow activities in the statement of cash flows. A company with a material balance of amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents must disclose information about the nature of the restrictions. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company had not previously included restricted cash as a component of cash and cash equivalents as presented on its consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, under the retrospective adoption method, and prior year restricted cash presentation has been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805):

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805) (“ASU 2017-01”). The new guidance changed the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in ASC 606. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 effective January 1, 2019. Adoption of ASU 2017-01 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Leases (Topic 842):

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 establishes a comprehensive new lease accounting model. The new standard clarifies the definitions of a lease, requires a dual approach to lease classification similar to current lease classifications, and causes lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset for leases with a lease term of more than twelve months. In July 2019, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would defer the effective date for ASU 2016-02. The Company intends to adopt the new standard during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, in accordance with this proposed delay. The new standard originally required a modified retrospective transition for capital or operating leases existing at or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, but it does not require transition accounting for leases that expire prior to the date of the initial application. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2018-11”) which provided another transition method in addition to the existing transition method by allowing entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company has not yet determined the effects, if any, that the adoptions of ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 may have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

 

Credit Losses (Topic 326):

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard requires that credit losses be reported using an expected losses model rather than the incurred losses model that is currently used, and establishes additional disclosures related to credit risks. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has not yet determined the effects, if any, that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 may have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

 

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates, which is the U.S. dollar. For our non-U.S. subsidiary that transacts in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated at current rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average foreign currency exchange rates for the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars are excluded from the determination of net loss and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

There were no assets or liabilities of foreign subsidiaries that were translated at period-end exchange rates as of December 31, 2018. See Note 18 “Business Combinations” to these consolidated financial statements for details of the Solus acquisition. The f unctional currency for this entity is its local currency, Pound Sterling (GBP).

12


VAPOTHERM, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, continued)

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

Realized foreign currency gains or losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, are recorded in other (expense) income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Unrealized foreign currency gains or l osses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets related to customer agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis, over their useful lives. Amortization is recorded within sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but reviewed for impairment. Goodwill is reviewed annually, as of October 1, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill may not be recoverable.

 

The Company compares the fair value of its reporting units to their carrying values. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference. As described in Note 17 “Segment Reporting”, the Company operates in one operating segment and has two reporting units, Vapotherm and Solus.

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

Service and other revenue includes sales of non-Vapotherm products sold by Solus. Net rev enue by U.S. and International is based on the customer location to which the product is shipped. No individual foreign country represents more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue.

Product Returns

The Company provides its customers with a standard one-year warranty on its capital equipment sales. Warranty costs are accrued based on actual historical trends and estimated at time of sale. The Company provides its customers with the right to return products for a refund of the purchase price or for an account credit, if the return is made within a specified number of days from the original invoice date. The Company records a product return liability based upon an estimate of specific returns and a review of historical returns experienced. Adjustments are made to the product return liability as returns data and historical experience change. The provision for product return estimates is recorded as a reduction of revenue. The product return liability of less than $0.1 million is included in other current liabilities.

Stock Split

On November 2, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved a 14:1 reverse stock split. The effect of this event has been reflected in all of the share quantities and per share amounts throughout these financial statements. The shares of common stock retained a par value of $0.001.

Business Combinations

 

The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The Company’s estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances are initially recorded in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. The Company continues to collect information and re-evaluates these estimates and assumptions quarterly and records any adjustments to the Company’s preliminary estimates to goodwill provided that the Company is within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments will be recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for consolidated financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally, accelerated depreciation methods) for tax purposes, where appropriate. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements and is included in depreciation expense. When impairment indicators are present, the Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets. If the assessment indicates an impairment, the affected assets are written down to fair value.

Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operating expenses.

The Company’s policy is to periodically review the estimated useful life of all fixed assets. This review during fiscal year 2019 indicated that the estimated useful life of all fixed assets is consistent with fiscal year 2018, with the exception of manufacturing equipment. The maximum useful life increased from 7 years to 10 years.

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary investments purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. The Company holds restricted cash related to certificates of deposits and collateral in relation to lease agreements. As of June 30, 2019, $0.4 million of our $47.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance was located outside the U.S.

4. Financial Instruments

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s financial instruments were comprised of cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable and debt, the carrying amounts of which approximated fair value due to the short-term nature and market interest rates.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, in connection with an amendment to the Credit Agreement and Guaranty as further described in Note 8 “Debt”, the Company granted warrants to purchase 37,693 shares Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock which were converted into shares of common stock at the time of the initial public offering. The warrants have an exercise price of $15.92 per share, were fully vested upon issuance, exercisable at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, and expire in April 2028. The estimated fair value at the time of issuance was less than $0.1 million, and is recorded as a discount against the principal owed on the related debt, to be amortized over the contractual term of the debt instrument.

 

The Company did not grant any warrants in the three months ended June 30, 2019. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, 68,009 warrants were exercised of which 55,845 were forfeited and 12,164 were converted into shares of common stock as part of a cashless exercise. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, in connection with an amendment to the Credit Agreement and Guaranty as further described in Note 8 “Debt”, the Company granted warrants to purchase 19,790 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $15.92 per share, were fully vested upon issuance, exercisable at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, and expire in March 2029. The estimated fair value at the time of issuance was less than $0.3 million, and is recorded as a discount against the principal owed on the related debt, to be amortized over the contractual term of the debt instrument.

8. Debt

Revolving Credit Line

On November 16, 2016, the Company entered a Business Financing Agreement (the “Revolver Agreement”) with Western Alliance Bank, an Arizona Corporation, which replaced its then existing revolving line of credit. The Revolver Agreement made available $7.0 million of revolving credit upon the closing date. Availability under the Revolver Agreement is calculated based upon 80% of the eligible receivables (net of pre-paid deposits, pre-billed invoices, other offsets, and contras related to each specific account debtor). The original maturity date was September 30, 2018. The Company refinanced the Revolver Agreement in April 2018, increasing the credit line to $7.5 million and extending the maturity date to September 30, 2020.  The principal is due upon maturity.  On March 22, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the Revolver Agreement (as amended, the “Amended Revolver Agreement”), which increased the allowable permitted indebtedness under the Amended Revolver Agreement in connection with the Company’s credit card program from $0.3 million to $0.5 million.

At June 30, 2019 the interest rate was 7.3%. The outstanding balance under the Amended Revolver Agreement was $3.2 million at June 30, 2019 and there was $0.3 million remaining availability based on eligible receivables. At December 31, 2018, the interest rate was 7.3%. The outstanding balance under the Revolver Agreement was $3.2 million at December 31, 2018 and the remaining availability based on eligible receivables was $1.0 million. The Amended Revolver Agreement requires the Company to comply with a minimum liquidity covenant at all times measured at the end of each fiscal month. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Term Loans

On November 16, 2016, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Solar Capital Ltd. (“Solar”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, a total of $20.0 million was available in three tranches. The first tranche was drawn down in the amount of $10.0 million upon closing which paid off the Company’s then existing term loan balance of $6.0 million in full. The Company achieved the minimum revenue threshold required to draw down the second tranche of $5.0 million of term debt financing and obtained a signed term sheet for an equity financing in excess of $10.0 million, which allowed the Company to draw down the third and final tranche of $5.0 million term debt financing. The Company drew down the $5.0 million tranches in January 2017 and March 2017, respectively. The Company pledged all assets as collateral with a double negative pledge on intellectual property.

On April 6, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the “Credit Agreement and Guaranty”) with Perceptive Credit Holdings II, LP (“Perc eptive”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and Guaranty, a total of $42.5 million was available in three tranches. The first tranche was drawn down in the amount of $20.0 million on the closing date, April 6, 2018, which paid off the Loan Agreement in full . In connection with this draw down, the Company granted Perceptive warrants to purchase 37,693 shares of Series D preferred stock which were converted into shares of common stock at the time of the initial public offering. The warrants have an exercise pr ice of $15.92 per share, were fully vested upon issuance, exercisable at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, and expire in April 2028.

On July 20, 2018, pursuant to the Credit Agreement and Guaranty, the Company drew down the second tranche of $10.0 million. In connection with this draw down, the Company granted Perceptive warrants to purchase 18,846 shares of Series D preferred stock which were converted into shares of common stock at the time of the initial public offering. The warrants have an exercise price of $15.92 per share, were fully vested upon issuance, exercisable at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, and expire in July 2028.

On September 27, 2018, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the “Amendment”, together with the Credit Agreement and Guaranty, the “Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty”) with Perceptive. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty, the Company was permitted to draw the final $12.5 million of availability at any time through March 31, 2019 and the minimum 2018 revenue requirement of $43.2 million that was required to draw down the final tranche was eliminated. Concurrently with the closing of the Amendment, the Company drew down $2.0 million of the remaining $12.5 million available. In connection with this draw down, the Company granted to Perceptive warrants to purchase 3,769 shares of its Series D preferred stock which were converted into shares of common stock at the time of the initial public offering. The warrants have an exercise price of $15.92 per share, were fully vested upon issuance, exercisable at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, and expire in September 2028.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had drawn $32.0 million of the $42.5 million available under the Credit Agreement and Guaranty and on March 22, 2019, the Company drew the remaining $10.5 million. In connection with this draw down, the Company granted Perceptive warrants to purchase 19,790 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $15.92 per share, were fully vested upon issuance, exercisable at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, and expire in March 2029.

On March 22, 2019, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty increasing the allowable permitted indebtedness in connection with the Company’s credit card program from $0.3 million to $0.5 million.

At June 30, 2019, the interest rate was 11.56%. The outstanding balance was $42.5 million at June 30, 2019 and there was no remaining availability. At December 31, 2018, the interest rate was 11.44%.   

The Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty requires the Company to comply with a minimum liquidity covenant at all times and a minimum revenue covenant measured at the end of each fiscal quarter. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The annual principal maturities of the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty as of June 30, 2019 are as follows:

Legal Matters

From time to time the Company may become involved in various legal proceedings, including those that may arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company is currently engaged in a litigation with Engineered Medical Systems, Inc. (“EMS”) a former supplier of a component of our Precision Flow systems. EMS filed a complaint against us in Indiana state court on June 12, 2018 alleging breach of contract and other causes of action and seeking damages of at least $800,000 and all other forms of just and appropriate relief. This matter was subsequently removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. The Company filed a complaint against EMS in Superior Court in Rockingham County, New Hampshire on June 15, 2018 alleging breach of contract, violation of the New Hampshire Consumer Protection Act, and other causes of action and seeking damages of at least $2.1 million and all other forms of just and appropriate relief. Each party filed a motion to dismiss against the other party’s complaint. EMS’ motion to dismiss in Superior Court in Rockingham County, New Hampshire was denied and discovery is now underway in the New Hampshire matter. Following this decision, EMS withdrew its complaint in Indiana. The Company does not believe this matter will have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company believes there are no other litigation pending that could have, individually, or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the results of its operations or financial condition.

 

10. Income Taxes

There is no provision for income taxes because the Company has historically incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The reported amount of income tax expense for the years differs from the amount that would result from applying domestic federal statutory tax rates to pretax losses primarily because of changes in valuation allowance.

The Company’s major tax jurisdictions are the United States, New Hampshire and the United Kingdom. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $200.7 million and $90.7 million, respectively, which begin to expire in 2020. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had federal research and development tax credits carryforwards of $3.3 million which begin to expire in 2021.

Management of the Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its deferred tax assets, which are comprised principally of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits. Under the applicable accounting standards, management has considered the Company’s history of losses and concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not recognize the benefits of federal and state deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance of $58.5 million and $51.7 million has been established at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The valuation allowance increased $6.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, due primarily to net operating losses generated.  

Utilization of the net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 due to ownership change limitations that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes may limit the amount of net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively.

On February 28, 2019, the Company acquired the shares of Solus. For the period from March 1, 2019 to June 30,2019, Solus had a book loss of $0.2 million, resulting from sales of $1.0 million. Due to the short period of ownership, and related book loss, the tax provision for Solus is immaterial.

11. Stock Plans and Stock-Based Compensation

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 937,400 and 972,628 shares of common stock remain available for issuance under the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 SI Plan”), respectively. Under the terms of the 2018 SI Plan, the exercise price of the options is determined by the fair value on the date of grant. Options granted under the plans vest ratably over a period of one to four years from the date of grant and are exercisable over a period of not more than ten years from the date of grant.

On January 23, 2019, the Company established a French Qualifying Subplan that sits underneath the 2018 SI Plan which allows for the granting of stock options to purchase shares of common stock for employees and officers who are residents of France. The options under the French Qualifying Subplan reside under the umbrella of the 2018 SI Plan.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.  For performance-based awards, related compensation cost is amortized over the performance period on an accelerated attribution basis. Compensation expense associated with performance awards are based upon the fair value on the date of grant and the number of units expected to be earned after assessing the probability that certain performance criteria will be met and the associated targeted payout level that is forecasted will be achieved, net of estimated forfeitures. Cumulative adjustments are recorded each quarter to reflect estimated outcome of the performance-related conditions until the date results are determined and settled. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility was calculated based on the Company’s historical volatility. The average expected life was estimated using the simplified method for “plain vanilla” options. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. Treasury rates with a remaining term that approximates the expected life assumed at the date of grant. The Company assumed an average forfeiture rates of 4.78% and 4.76% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, based on historical experience with pre-vested forfeitures. The Company assumed an average forfeiture rates of 8.22% and 6.85% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, based on historical experience with pre-vested forfeitures.

The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes options pricing model are as follows:

17. Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company globally manages the business within one reporting segment, Vapotherm, Inc and two reporting units, Vapotherm and Solus. Segment information is consistent with how management reviews the business, makes investing and resource allocation decisions and assesses operating performance. All assets are in the United States, United Kingdom or at contracted suppliers.

18. Business Combinations  

On February 28, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of the outstanding equity securities of  Solus Medical Ltd. (“Solus”) whose principal assets included intangible assets related to supplier agreements. The Company undertook the acquisition to accelerate its penetration in the United Kingdom market. The purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $2.0 million was funded with an initial cash payment of approximately $1.6 million and a loss of $0.4 million on settlement of a preexisting relationship. Additionally, the Company will recognize an estimated $2.4 million in contingent payments as compensation that will be paid over the next two years. The acquisition has been accounted for as an acquisition of a business.

The Company has not yet finalized the purchase accounting for the Solus acquisition. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation that includes the fair values of the separately identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of February 28, 2019:

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including income taxes payable and deferred taxes, may be subject to change as additional information is received and certain tax returns are finalized. Accordingly, the provisional measurements of fair value of the income taxes payable and deferred taxes set forth above are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

In determining the purch ase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, the opportunity provided by supplier agreements with the National Health Service. The fair value of the intangible assets associated with this agreement were estimated using a discounted ca sh flow method with the application of the multi-period excess earnings method. Under this method, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to only the subject intangible assets aft er deducting contributory asset charges. An income and expenses forecast was built based upon specific intangible asset revenue and expense estimates.

The rate used to discount the estimated future net cash flows to their present values for each intangible asset was based upon a weighted average cost of capital calculation. The discount rate was determined after consideration of market rates of return on debt and equity capital, the weighted average return on invested capital and the risk associated with achieving forecasted sales related to the assets acquired from  Solus.

The total weighted average amortization period for the intangible assets is approximately 3.83 years. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which is consistent with the pattern that the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be utilized based upon estimated cash flows generated from such assets. Goodwill associated with the acquisition was primarily attributable to the market expansion opportunity in the United Kingdom. The goodwill attributable to the United Kingdom jurisdiction is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company has included the financial results of Solus in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The transaction costs associated with the acquisition were approximately $0.2 million and were recorded in general and administrative expense as incurred.

ITEM 2.        MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSI S 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 our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10- Q. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Some of the numbers included herein have been rounded for the convenience of presentation. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under the “Risk Factors” section of our 2018 Form 10-K .

Overview

We are a global medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of our proprietary Hi-VNI Technology products that are used to treat patients of all ages suffering from respiratory distress. Our Hi-VNI Technology delivers non-invasive ventilatory support by providing heated, humidified and oxygenated air at a high velocity to patients through a comfortable small-bore nasal interface. Our Precision Flow systems, which use Hi-VNI Technology, are clinically validated alternatives to, and address many limitations of, the current standard of care for the treatment of respiratory distress in a hospital setting. As of June 30, 2019, more than 1.9 million patients have been treated with our Precision Flow systems, and we have a global installed base of over 15,000 capital units. We have sold our Precision Flow systems to over 1,400 hospitals across the United States, where they have been primarily deployed in the ICU setting. We assemble our Precision Flow systems in our facility in New Hampshire and we rely on third-party suppliers for a majority of the components of our products, including many single source suppliers. We maintain higher levels of inventory to protect ourselves from supply interruptions, and, as a result, we are subject to the risk of inventory obsolescence and expiration, which could lead to inventory impairment charges. We currently ship our Precision Flow systems from our facility in New Hampshire directly to our United States customers, from our facility in the United Kingdom directly to our United Kingdom customers, and many of our international distributors in other countries on a purchase order basis. Warehousing and shipping operations for some of our international distributors are handled by a third-party vendor with facilities located in the Netherlands. While our customers have the right to return purchased products subject to a restocking fee, our historical return experience has been immaterial.

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through an initial public offering of our common stock, private placements of our convertible preferred stock, sales of our Precision Flow systems and amounts borrowed under our credit facilities. We have devoted the majority of our resources to research and development activities related to our Precision Flow systems including regulatory initiatives and sales and marketing activities. We have invested heavily in our sales and marketing function by increasing the number of sales representatives and clinical educators to facilitate adoption and increase utilization of our Hi-VNI Technology products and expanded our digital marketing initiatives and medical education programs. For the second quarter of 2019, we generated revenue of $12.0 million and had a net loss of $12.9 million compared to revenue of $10.6 million and a net loss of $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2018. Our accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2019 was $240.2 million. In the second quarter of 2019, 72.4% of our revenue was derived in the United States and 27.6% was derived outside the United States. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

We intend to continue to make significant investments in our sales and marketing organization by increasing the number of U.S. sales representatives, expanding our international marketing programs and expanding direct to clinician digital marketing efforts to help facilitate further adoption among existing hospital accounts as well as broaden awareness of our products to new hospitals. We also expect to continue to make investments in research and development, regulatory affairs and clinical studies in an effort to develop new products that enhance our current portfolio or expand our markets, support regulatory submissions, and demonstrate the clinical efficacy of our new products. Examples of in-development products that may enhance our current portfolio include our next generation ProSoft cannula, which is designed to improve patient comfort, and an aerosol disposable patient circuit, which is designed to streamline workflows associated with continuous aerosol medication delivery.  Examples of in-development products that may expand our market include our oxygen management module, which is designed to simplify and automate adjustments to the Precision Flow systems’ delivery of oxygenated breathing gases based on feedback provided by oxygen levels in the patient, and our next generation Hi-VNI Technology product, which is designed to provide high velocity nasal insufflation using a portable device, removing the requirement for access to built-in wall air outlets. Because of these and other factors, we expect to continue to incur net losses for the next several years and we expect to require additional funding, which may include future equity and debt financings.

Revenue increased $1.4 million, or 13.5%, to $12.0 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $10.6 million for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $1.9 million increase in disposable revenue as a result of an increase in the installed base and increased utilization of Precision Flow capital units worldwide partially offset by a decrease in the sales and leases of our Precision Flow capital units worldwide.

Revenue generated in the United States increased $2.3 million, or 13.9%, to $18.7 million for the first six months of 2019, compared to $16.4 million for the first six months of 2018. Revenue growth in the United States was primarily due to increased disposable sales resulting from a larger installed base and increased utilization of Precision Flow units partially offset by a decrease in the sale and lease of Precision Flow units.

 

Revenue generated in our International markets increased $0.7 million, or 14.3%, to $5.6 million for the first six months of 2019, compared to $4.9 million for the first six months of 2018. Revenue growth in the International markets was primarily due to increased disposable sales resulting from a larger installed base, partially offset by a decrease in the sale and lease of Precision Flow units.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin

 

Cost of goods sold of $6.5 million remained constant in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018. Cost of goods sold increased $0.6 million, or 5.3%, to $13.6 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $13.0 million in the first six months of 2018. The increase was due to increased product costs due to higher sales volumes of our disposables.

 

Gross margin increased to 45.5% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 38.8% in the second quarter of 2018. The increase in gross margin was driven by a favorable sales mix of disposables and a decrease in disposable component costs. Gross margin increased to 43.8% in the first six months of 2019 compared to 39.2% in the first six months of 2018. The increase in gross margin was driven by a favorable sales mix of disposables and a decrease in disposable component costs in comparison to the first six months of 2018. Additionally, we improved operating efficiency by holding operating overhead constant while increasing throughput in our manufacturing facility to support continued sales growth.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased $1.1 million, or 52.0%, to $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2018. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses increased to 26.4% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 19.7% in the second quarter of 2018.

Research and development expenses increased $2.1 million, or 49.5%, to $6.4 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $4.3 million in the first six months of 2018. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses increased to 26.5% in the first six months of 2019 compared to 20.2% in the first six months of 2018.

The increase in research and development expenses in both comparison periods was due to increases in new product development costs and research and development headcount and other employee-related expenses, including stock-based compensation.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.9 million, or 10.7%, to $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2018. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 78.7% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 80.7% in the second quarter of 2018.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $2.0 million, or 12.2%, to $18.6 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $16.6 million in the first six months of 2018. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 76.6% in the first six months of 2019 compared to 77.8% in the first six months of 2018.

The increase in sales and marketing expenses in both comparison periods was primarily due to increased compensation, travel and other employee-related expenses, including stock-based compensation, in our sales and marketing organizations. Additionally, the increase in sales and marketing expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to June 30, 2018 was related to investments in marketing initiatives.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million, or 74.1%, to $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2018. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 37.8% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 24.6% in the second quarter of 2018.

General and administrative expenses increased $4.4 million, or 88.8%, to $9.4 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $5.0 million in the first six months of 2018. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 38.8% in the first six months of 2019 compared to 23.4% in the first six months of 2018.

The increase in general and administrative expenses in both comparison periods was primarily due to increases in headcount and other employee-related expenses, including stock-based compensation, and to a lesser extent, legal, advisory and consulting fees, and public company costs.

Loss on Disposal of Fixed Assets

The loss on disposal of fixed assets for the first six months of 2018 was attributable to the loss on the disposal of fixed assets associated with our facility consolidation. We expect loss on disposal of fixed assets to vary over time.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net decreased $0.9 million, or 41.7%, to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2018. Other expense, net decreased $0.6 million, or 20.4%, to $2.0 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $2.6 million in the first six months of 2018. The decrease in other expense, net was due to debt extinguishment that occurred in the second quarter of 2018, but did not occur in the second quarter of 2019, and an increase in interest expense related to additional borrowings under our credit facilities, partially offset by an increase in interest income due to higher cash balances resulting from proceeds received in November 2018 from our initial public offering and the debt drawdown in March 2019.

33


 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $47.9 million and an accumulated deficit of $240.2 million. Our primary sources of capital to date have been from an initial public offering of our common stock, private placements of our convertible preferred stock, sales of our Precision Flow systems and amounts borrowed under credit facilities. Since inception, we have raised a total of $162.6 million in net proceeds from private placements of our convertible preferred stock. On November 16, 2018, we completed an initial public offering of 4,600,000 shares of common stock at a price of $14.00 per share, which raised net proceeds of $57.4 million. As of June 30, 2019, we had $3.2 million of outstanding borrowings and $0.3 million availability under our Revolving Facility. As of June 30, 2019, we had $42.5 million of term debt outstanding under our Credit Agreement and Guaranty.

We believe that our existing cash resources and availability under our line of credit facility will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements and fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or make additional borrowings under our existing line of credit facility or enter new debt financing arrangements. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders would experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, may involve covenants restricting our operations or our ability to incur additional debt. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms that are not favorable to us or our stockholders. Additional financing may not be available at all, or in amounts or on terms unacceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to delay the development, commercialization and marketing of our Precision Flow systems.

Operating Activities

The net cash used in operating activities was $18.9 million in the first six months of 2019 and consisted primarily of a net loss of $25.8 million, offset by $4.3 million in non-cash charges and a decrease of $2.6 million in net operating assets. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization expense.

The net cash used in operating activities was $17.1 million in the first six months of 2018 and consisted primarily of a net loss of $20.1 million and offset by $3.0 million in non-cash charges. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of the loss on debt extinguishment of debt and depreciation and amortization expense.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 2019 and 2018 consisted of purchases of property and equipment of $2.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively. In addition, the net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2019 included $1.6 million to acquire Solus.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $10.5 million in the first six months of 2019 and consisted primarily of borrowings of $10.5 million under our credit facilities.

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.3 million in the first six months of 2018 and consisted primarily of borrowings of $20.0 million under our credit facilities offset by $21.3 million in repayment of loans.

Effective January 1, 2019, and further described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we consider restricted cash as a component of cash and cash equivalents as presented on our consolidated statements of cash flows. Previously the net change in restricted cash was considered an in vesting activity. Prior period presentations have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

 

Indebtedness

Revolving Line of Credit

In November 2016, we entered into the Revolving Facility, which provided for $7.0 million of available borrowings. Availability under the Revolving Facility is calculated based upon 80% of the eligible receivables (net of pre-paid deposits, pre-billed invoices, other offsets, and contras related to each specific account debtor).

Interest is paid monthly on the average outstanding balance, at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 1.75%, floating, subject to a floor of 3.5%. The interest rate was 7.3% at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

On April 6, 2018, we amended and restated the Revolving Facility (the “Amended Revolving Facility”) to primarily extend the maturity date from September 30, 2018 to September 30, 2020 and increase the revolving line of credit to $7.5 million. On March 22, 2019, we amended and restated the Amended Revolving Facility, which increased the allowable permitted indebtedness under the agreement in connection with our credit card program from $0.3 million to $0.5 million.

The outstanding balance under the Amended Revolving Facility, as amended, was $3.2 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The remaining amount available to borrow based on eligible receivables was $0.3 million and $1.0 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Term Debt

In November 2016, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Solar Capital Ltd., or Solar, for a total facility amounting to $20.0 million, available in three tranches. The first tranche was drawn down in the amount of $10.0 million on the effective date which paid off in full our previous term loan facility of $6.0 million. We achieved the minimum revenue threshold required to draw down the second tranche of $5.0 million of term debt financing which we did in January 2017. In addition, we obtained a signed term sheet for an equity financing in excess of $10.0 million which allowed us to draw down the third and final tranche of $5.0 million term debt financing, which we elected to do in March 2017, bringing our total balance outstanding under this facility to $20.0 million. Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement with Solar, interest was to be paid monthly, and the interest rate for all principal amounts advanced under the loan is equal to “LIBOR Rate” plus 8.99%. We pledged all assets as collateral with a double negative pledge on intellectual property. The facility had a 24-month period from the date of funding where interest only payments were payable. This debt was extinguished in April 2018.

On April 6, 2018, we entered into the Credit Agreement and Guaranty with Perceptive. The Credit Agreement and Guaranty initially provided for a term loan facility in the amount of $42.5 million, available in three tranches, of which the first tranche of $20.0 million was drawn upon closing. This first tranche paid off the borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement with Solar in full. A second tranche of $10.0 million was drawn on July 20, 2018. The availability of the final tranche of $12.5 million was dependent upon the Company achieving a minimum of $43.2 million in revenue in 2018. On September 27, 2018, the Credit Agreement and Guaranty was amended (the “Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty”) to remove this revenue requirement and extend the final draw down date to March 31, 2019. We borrowed $2.0 million from this third tranche on September 27, 2018. On March 22, 2019, we drew the remaining $10.5 million under the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty increasing the total outstanding balance to $42.5 million. We also entered into a second amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty increasing the allowable permitted indebtedness in connection with our credit card program from $0.3 million to $0.5 million.

The outstanding principal amount of the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty accrues interest at an annual rate equal to the applicable margin of 9.06% plus the greater of (a) one-month LIBOR and (b) 1.75% per year. The term loan is secured by substantially all our personal property including intellectual property. All unpaid and accrued unpaid interest with respect to each such term loan is due and payable in full on the maturity date at April 6, 2023. On the maturity date, in addition to the payment principal and accrued interest, we will be required to make a payment of 0.5% of the total amount borrowed under the Amended Credit Agreement and Guaranty, unless we have not already made such payment in connection with an acceleration or prepayment of borrowings under the term loan. In the event we prepay all or part of this term loan facility prior to the maturity date, we may be subject to additional prepayment fees which decrease as the time to maturity decreases.

We issued warrants to Perceptive to purchase 37,693, 18,846 and 3,769 shares of our Series D convertible preferred stock at an exercise price of $15.92 per share in April 2018, July 2 018 and September 2018, respectively. Pursuant to the initial public offering in November 2018 these warrants converted to common stock warrants at an exercise price of $15.92. Each of the warrants has a term of 10 years. In connection with the draw down o n March 22, 2019, we granted warrants to purchase 19,790 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $15.92 per share, were fully vested upon issuance, exercisable at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, and expire in March 202 9.  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable regulations of the SEC, that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We monitor and analyze these items for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results for the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

For further information regarding our critical accounting policies, see Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of notes to condensed consolidated financial statements and our critical accounting policies within the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2019. There have been no material changes, other than those listed below.

 

We adopted the Accounting Standards Codifications “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” and “Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805)”  during the three months ended March 31, 2019. See Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of notes to condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We also updated our accounting policies related to foreign currency, goodwill and intangible assets, which are discussed below.

Foreign Currency

Our functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates, which is the U.S. dollar. For our non-U.S. subsidiary that transacts in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated at current rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average foreign currency exchange

36


 

rates for the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars are excluded from the determination of net loss and are recorded in accumulated o ther comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

There were no assets or liabilities of foreign subsidiaries that were translated at period-end exchange rates as of December 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, our UK entity, Solus, was included in our consolidated results from the date of the acquisition in February 2019, see Note 18 “Business Combinations” to these consolidated financial statements for details of this transaction. The f unctional currency for this entity is its local currency, Pound Sterling (GBP).

Realized foreign currency gains or losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, are recorded in other (expense) income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss . Unrealized foreign currency gains or losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.  

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets related to customer agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis, over their useful lives. Amortization is recorded within sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible net assets when accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but reviewed for impairment. Goodwill is reviewed annually, as of October 1, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill may not be recoverable.

 

We compare the fair value of our reporting units to their carrying values. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, we would record an impairment loss equal to the difference. As described in Note 17 “Segment Reporting” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements, we operate in one operating segment, and have two reporting units, Vapotherm and Solus.

 

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As a result of becoming a public company, we will be required, under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. The SEC defines a material weakness as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be detected or prevented on a timely basis.

In accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm has performed an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting during any period included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A discussion of recent accounting pronouncements is included in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

JOBS Act

As a company with (i) less than $1.07 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year (ii) a market value of our common stock of less than $700.0 million as of our most recently completed second quarter and (iii) less than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period, we qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies.

37


 

ITEM 3.        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALI TATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a "smaller reporting company," we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

ITEM 4.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)

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 defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") at the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Based on this evaluation, we concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We recognize that any controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives, and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

( b)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this quarterly report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in our 2018 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

ITEM 2.        UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Use of Proceeds

 

On November 13, 2018, the SEC declared effective our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-227897), as amended, filed in connection with our initial public offering, or the Registration Statement. Pursuant to the Registration Statement, we registered the offer and sale of 4,000,000 shares of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of approximately $56.0 million. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and William Blair & Company, L.L.C. acted as representatives of the underwriters for the offering. On November 13, 2018, the underwriters fully exercised their option to purchase 600,000 additional shares of common stock with an aggregate offering price of approximately $8.4 million pursuant to the underwriting agreement. On November 14, 2018, we issued and sold 4,600,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $14.00 per share. Upon completion of the initial public offering on November 16, 2018, we received net proceeds of approximately $57.4 million, after deducting the underwriting discount of $4.5 million and offering expenses of $2.5 million. No payments for such expenses were made directly or indirectly to (i) any of our officers or directors or their associates, (ii) any persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or (iii) any of our affiliates.

 

The offering terminated after the sale of all securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement. The net proceeds of approximately $57.4 million from our initial public have been invested in short-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government. There has been no material change in the expected use of the net proceeds from our initial public as described in our final prospectus, dated November 13, 2018, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) relating to our Registration Statement on Form S-1.

Le Salarié s’interdit pendant la durée de son emploi au sein de la Société et pendant une période de douze mois à compter de la date de son départ effectif de la Société, de solliciter tout salarié de la Société, en vue de l’embaucher ou de le faire embaucher par un tiers avec lequel il est en relation d’affaires ou d’inciter tout salarié de la Société à accepter un autre emploi ou à quitter la Société.

 

  

  

The Employee shall refrain, during the term of his work within the Company and for a period of twelve months as from the date of his leaving the Company from soliciting any employee of the Company, in order to hire him or have him hire by any third party with which he is in a business relationship, or encouraging any employee of the Company to accept another position or to leave the Company.

 

  

 

 

 

 

Article 14 - Non-concurrence

 

 

  

Article 14 - Non-competition

 

 

 

 

 

 

Compte tenu de la nature de ses fonctions, le Salarié s’interdit:

 

 

  

Considering the nature of his duties, the Employee shall refrain:

 

 

 

 

 

 

–   d’entrer au service d’une entreprise concevant, fabriquant ou commercialisant les produits et services pouvant concurrencer ceux de la Société;

 

 

  

–   From working for another company that makes or markets products and services likely to compete with the Company’s;

 

 

 

 

 

 

–   de s’intéresser directement ou indirectement et sous quelque forme que ce soit à une entreprise de cet ordre

 

 

  

–   From taking any direct or indirect interest in any form in any such company.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cette interdiction s’appliquera en cas de cessation du présent contrat, quelle qu’en soit la cause. Elle est limitée à une période de douze (12) mois à compter du jour de la cessation effective du contrat. Elle couvre les territoires de la France Métropolitaine et de l’Allemagne

 

 

  

This clause shall also apply after termination of this contract, whatever the reason therefor. It shall be limited to a period of twelve (12) months as from the day of the effective termination of the contract. It shall apply to the territories of Continental France and Germany.

 

 

 

 

 

 

En contrepartie de l’obligation de non-concurrence prévue ci-dessus, et conformément aux dispositions de la convention collective applicable, le Salarié percevra après la cessation effective de son contrat et pendant toute la durée de cette interdiction, une indemnité mensuelle égale à cinq dixièmes de la moyenne mensuelle des appointements ainsi que des avantages et gratifications contractuels dont le Salarié a bénéficié au cours de ses douze derniers mois de présence dans la Société.

licenciement du Salarié, cette indemnité sera portée à six dixièmes de celte moyenne tant que le Salarié n’a pas retrouvé un nouvel emploi et dans la limite de la durée de non concurrence.

The Company may however exempt the Employee from the non competition clause and thereby exempt itself from the payment of the specified indemnity in exchange thereof, either at any time during the performance of the contract or upon the termination thereof.

If the Employee breaches the non-competition obligation, the Company will no longer be required to pay the gross monthly indemnity to him and the Employee will be required to reimburse the Company for any amount that he may have been granted in this respect.

 

 

 

L’attribution de cette somme à la Société ne préjudiciera pas du droit que celle-ci se réserve de demander réparation du préjudice financier et moral qu’elle aura subi et de demander aux tribunaux compétents de faire ordonner sous astreinte la cessation de la concurrence faite en violation des dispositions ci-dessus.

 

 

 

  

This payment shall not impinge upon the rights of the Company to seek reparation from for the financial and moral prejudices suffered and to request the relevant court to grant an injunction to enforce the Employee to cease the competing activity.
