Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are included throughout this Form 10-Q, including in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “predict,” “potential,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” or “continue” and similar expressions. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are based on the current plans and expectations of our management and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to:
•general economic conditions, particularly in the United States;
•fluctuations in global equity and fixed-income markets;
•our ability to successfully execute on or achieve the expected benefits of our restructuring initiative;
•supply chain issues and inflationary pressures;
•risks related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic;
•the competitive environment;
•the loss of current customers or the inability to obtain new customers;
•litigation and enforcement actions;
•disruption in the supply of raw materials or the distribution of finished goods;
•price fluctuations in key commodities;
•fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
•changes in governmental regulations that are applicable to our business;
•our ability to realize the intended benefits of our acquisition or merger transactions;
•changes in asset valuations, including write-downs of assets such as inventory, accounts receivable or other assets for impairment or other reasons; and
•any other matters described in Item 1A - “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”) and Part II, Item 1A - “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q.
You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information in this Form 10-Q. Where, in any forward-looking statement, an expectation or belief as to future results or events is expressed, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of our management and expressed in good faith, and is believed to have a reasonable basis. There can be no assurance that any such expectation or belief will be achieved or accomplished.
Any forward-looking statement made in this Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date of this report. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.

AVANOS MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1.    Accounting Policies
Background and Basis of Presentation
Avanos Medical, Inc. is a medical technology company focused on delivering clinically superior medical device solutions that will help patients get back to the things that matter. Headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, we are committed to addressing some of today’s most important healthcare needs, including providing a vital lifeline for nutrition to patients from hospital to home, and reducing the use of opioids while helping patients move from surgery to recovery. We develop, manufacture and market our recognized brands globally and hold leading market positions in multiple categories across our portfolio. References herein to “Avanos,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Avanos Medical, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Interim Financial Statements
We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements, and the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all necessary material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, to fairly state our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, distributor rebate accruals, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for goodwill and long-lived assets, loss contingencies, and deferred tax assets and potential income tax assessments. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and the effect of any change could be material to our financial statements. Changes in these estimates are recorded when known.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform. This ASU was prompted by the planned cessation of the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”). This ASU applies to contract modifications that replace a reference rate and contemporaneous modifications of other contract terms related to the replacement of the reference rate. Under this ASU, modifications to debt agreements may be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate. This ASU is effective as of issuance on December 21, 2022 and defers the sunset date of Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. This ASU may be applied as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2021. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations: Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU pertains to acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination and addresses diversity in practice and inconsistency related to recognition of an acquired contract liability and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Change in Accounting Principle
During the third quarter of 2022, we elected to change our method of accounting for U.S. inventory from the Last-In, First-Out (“LIFO”) method to the First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) method. The effects of the change in accounting method from LIFO to FIFO have been retrospectively applied to all periods presented in all sections of this Form 10-Q, including Management's Discussion and Analysis. This change has no impact on our results herein for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Note 2.    Restructuring Activities
Transformation Process
In January 2023, we initiated a three-year restructuring initiative intended to align the Company under a single commercial organization, rationalize our product portfolio, undertake additional cost management activities to enhance the Company’s operating profitability and pursue efficient capital allocation strategies (the “Transformation Process”). We expect the Transformation Process will be substantially complete by the end of 2025.
We expect to incur between $20.0 million and $25.0 million of cash expenses in connection with the Transformation Process, consisting of between $9.0 million and $12.0 million of program management consulting and employee retention expenses; between $8.0 million and $11.0 million of expenses associated with manufacturing and supply chain improvements and portfolio rationalization; and the remainder for expenses associated with organization design and alignment and other related activities. These amounts include between $6.0 million and $8.0 million of employee severance and benefits costs.
In the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred $8.9 million primarily related to program management consulting and employee retention expenses and employee severance and benefits costs in connection with the Transformation Process. These costs were included in “Selling and general expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated income statements.
Restructuring Liability
Our liability for costs associated with the Transformation Process as of March 31, 2023 is summarized below (in millions):

Note 3.    Business Acquisition
On January 20, 2022, we acquired all of the equity voting interests and completed the acquisition of OrthogenRx, Inc. (“OrthogenRx”), which is focused on the development and commercialization of treatments for knee pain caused by osteoarthritis and has been added to our chronic pain portfolio. The total purchase price was $130.0 million at closing less working capital adjustments. The agreement allowed for up to an additional $30.0 million payable in contingent cash consideration based on OrthogenRx’s growth in net sales during 2022 and 2023, of which we paid $10.6 million based on OrthogenRx’s 2022 net sales. The purchase price was funded by available cash on hand and the proceeds of borrowings, including an incremental $125.0 million tranche of term loans. The accompanying condensed consolidated income statements include $14.7 million of net sales from OrthogenRx since the closing of the acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2022. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred $1.5 million of costs in connection with the OrthogenRx acquisition, which are included in “Selling and general expenses” and “Other expense, net”. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred $1.0 million of costs in connection with the OrthogenRx acquisition, which are included in “Selling and general expenses”.
10
We accounted for the OrthogenRx acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price paid was allocated to the underlying net assets in proportion to their respective fair values. The fair value of the net assets acquired are based on estimates and assumptions relating to certain intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, income taxes and loss contingencies, which are subject to change during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values was recorded as goodwill. Fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined using discounted cash flow analyses, and the fair value of the contingent cash consideration was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The final purchase price allocation, net of cash acquired, is shown in the table below (in millions):
Accounts receivable, net$11.6 
Inventory2.8 
Other current assets0.4 
Accounts payable(5.4)
Other current liabilities(13.0)

Other non-current assets (liabilities)(5.7)
Deferred tax liability(22.1)
Identifiable intangible assets135.6 
Goodwill21.1 
Total$116.1 
Current period adjustments include an increase of $0.1 million in certain indemnification liabilities acquired, a decrease of $0.4 million in the estimated deferred tax liability and a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.1 million which were recorded as a $1.8 million increase to goodwill.
Goodwill arising from the OrthogenRx acquisition is not fully tax deductible and is attributable to future earnings potential and the strategic fit within our interventional pain portfolio as it allows for providing a greater continuum of care for patients.
The identifiable intangible assets relating to the OrthogenRx acquisition include the following (in millions, except years):
Identifiable Intangible Asset AmountWeighted Average Useful Lives (Years)
Trademarks$1.3 10
Other134.3 14
Total$135.6 
Other intangible assets includes $126.0 million related to the OrthogenRx products that we currently market and distribute, combined into one composite intangible asset that includes customer relationships and exclusive distribution rights and $8.3 million related to OrthogenRx non-compete agreements.

Note 5.    Fair Value Information
The following fair value information is based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels in the hierarchy used to measure fair value are:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets accessible at the reporting date for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not considered active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are significant to the valuation and are unobservable.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table includes the fair value of our financial instruments for which disclosure of fair value is required (in millions):
March 31, 2023December 31, 2022

Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of amounts borrowed under our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility approximates carrying value because borrowings are subject to a variable rate as described in Note 6, “Debt”.

Note 6.     Debt
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our respective debt balances were as follows (in millions):

Total Long-Term Debt, net$204.7 $226.3 

On June 24, 2022, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders which established credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million, consisting of a five-year senior secured term loan of $125.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility allowing borrowings of up to $375.0 million, with a letter of credit sub-facility in an amount of $75.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). All obligations under the Credit Agreement and certain hedging agreements and cash management arrangements thereunder are: (i) guaranteed by each of the Company’s direct and indirect, existing and future, material wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (“Guarantors”) and (ii) secured by a first priority lien on substantially all the assets of the Company and the Guarantors. The Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature that allows us to incur incremental term loans under the Term Loan Facility or under new term loan facilities or to increase the amount of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, including through the establishment of one or more tranches under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement will mature on June 24, 2027.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at our option at either: (i) an adjusted term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), plus a margin ranging between 1.50% to 2.00% per annum, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio; (ii) an adjusted daily simple SOFR rate, plus a margin ranging between 1.50% to 2.00% per
14
annum, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio; or (iii) a base rate (calculated as the greatest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the NYFRB rate (being the greater of the federal funds effective rate or the overnight bank funding rate) plus 0.50%, and (c) the one month adjusted term SOFR rate plus 1.00%), plus a margin ranging between 0.50% to 1.00% per annum, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio. The unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to a commitment fee ranging between 0.20% to 0.25% per annum, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio. Unamortized debt discount and issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Term Loan Facility using the interest method, resulting in an effective interest rate of 6.5% as of March 31, 2023.
The Credit Agreement requires compliance with certain customary operational and financial covenants. As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with these covenants. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains certain other customary limitations on our ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends on or repurchase or redeem our capital stock; make loans, investments and acquisitions; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; guarantee other obligations; create or grant liens; and enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates. Notwithstanding such limitations, the Credit Agreement allows us to pay dividends, repurchase stock and make investments up to an “Available Amount,” as defined in the Credit Agreement, provided no event of default has occurred and certain financial ratios have been achieved on a pro forma basis. We are permitted to prepay all or a portion of the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty.
Debt Payments
The Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal installment payments on the Term Loan Facility of 10% of the total principal borrowed for the first eight quarters following funding and then quarterly installment payments of 20% of the total principal borrowed, at which time the remaining unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan Facility is due and payable by the Company upon the maturity date of June 24, 2027. The current portion of the Term Loan Facility is $6.2 million. Interest is payable quarterly. We have the right to voluntarily prepay the Term Loan Facility in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Interest is payable at the same rates set forth above for the Revolving Credit Facility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repaid $1.6 million of the Term Loan Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repaid $20.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2023, we had letters of credit outstanding of $6.2 million.
As of March 31, 2023, the aggregate amounts of long-term debt that will mature during each of the next four years are as follows (in millions):

Note 9.    Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims and governmental inspections, audits or investigations pertaining to issues such as contract disputes, product liability, tax matters, patents and trademarks, advertising, governmental regulations, employment and other matters. Under the terms of the distribution agreement we entered into with Kimberly-Clark Corporation (“Kimberly-Clark”) prior to our 2014 spin-off from Kimberly-Clark, legal proceedings, claims and other liabilities that are primarily related to our business are our responsibility and we are obligated to indemnify and hold Kimberly-Clark harmless for such matters.
Government Investigation
In June 2015, we were served with a subpoena from the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of the Inspector General (“VA OIG”) seeking information related to the design, manufacture, testing, sale and promotion of MicroCool and other surgical gowns produced by the Company. In July 2015, we became aware that the VA OIG subpoena and an earlier VA OIG subpoena served on Kimberly-Clark requesting information about gown sales to the federal government were related to a United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) investigation. In May 2016, April 2017 and September 2018, we received additional subpoenas from the DOJ seeking further information related to the Company’s surgical gowns.
On July 6, 2021, we entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (“DPA”) with the DOJ that resolved their criminal investigation related to our MicroCool surgical gowns. Pursuant to the terms of the DPA, in July 2021 the Company made a payment of $22.2 million. We continue to comply with the terms of the DPA.
16
Patent Litigation
We operate in an industry characterized by extensive patent litigation. Competitors may claim that our products infringe upon their intellectual property. Resolution of patent litigation or other intellectual property claims is typically time consuming and costly and can result in significant damage awards and injunctions that could prevent the manufacture and sale of the affected products or require us to make significant royalty payments in order to continue selling the affected products.
At any given time, we may be involved as either a plaintiff or a defendant in a number of patent infringement actions, the outcomes of which may not be known for prolonged periods of time.
General
While we maintain general and professional liability, product liability and other insurance, our insurance policies may not cover all of these matters and may not fully cover liabilities arising out of these matters. In addition, we may be obligated to indemnify our directors and officers against these matters.
We record provisions in the consolidated financial statements for pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For any matters that are reasonably possible to result in loss and for which no possible loss or range of loss is disclosed in this Form 10-Q, management has determined that it is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss because, in each case, at least the following facts applied: (a) the matter is at an early stage of the proceedings; (b) the damages are indeterminate, unspecified or determined to be immaterial; and (c) significant factual issues have yet to be resolved. At present, although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate resolution of any pending legal proceeding to which we are a party will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Environmental Compliance
We are subject to federal, state and local environmental protection laws and regulations with respect to our business operations. We believe we are operating in compliance with, or are taking action aimed at ensuring compliance with, these laws and regulations. None of our compliance obligations with environmental protection laws and regulations, individually or in the aggregate, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 10.    Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during each period, as determined using the treasury stock method.
The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is set forth in the following table (in millions, except per share amounts):
Three Months Ended March 31,
20232022
Net (loss) income$(0.5)$5.4 
Weighted Average Shares Outstanding:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding46.6 47.4 
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted share unit awards0.6 0.4 
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding47.2 47.8 
(Loss) Earnings Per Share
Basic$(0.01)$0.11 
Diluted$(0.01)$0.11 
Restricted share units (“RSUs”) contain provisions allowing for the equivalent of any dividends paid on common stock during the restricted period to be reinvested into additional RSUs at the then fair market value of the common stock on the date the dividends are paid. Such awards are to be included in the EPS calculation under the two-class method. Currently, we do not anticipate any cash dividends for the foreseeable future and our outstanding RSU awards are not material in comparison to our weighted average shares outstanding. Accordingly, all EPS amounts reflect shares as if they were fully vested and the disclosures associated with the two-class method are not presented herein.
17
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, 1.8 million of potentially dilutive stock options and RSU awards were excluded from the computation of earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 11.    Business and Products Information
We conduct our business in one operating and reportable segment that provides our medical device products to healthcare providers and patients globally with manufacturing facilities in the United States and Mexico.

Due to the nature of our business, we receive purchase orders for products under supply agreements which are normally fulfilled within three to four weeks. Our performance obligations under purchase orders are satisfied and revenue is recognized at a point in time, which is upon shipment or upon delivery of our products, depending on shipping terms. Accordingly, we normally do not have transactions that give rise to material unfulfilled performance obligations.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide investors with an understanding of our recent performance, and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1, “Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. This MD&A contains forward-looking statements. Refer to “Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this Form 10-Q for an explanation of these types of statements.
The following will be discussed and analyzed:
•Restructuring Activities;
•Results of Operations and Related Information;
•Liquidity and Capital Resources; and
•Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates.
Restructuring Activities
In January 2023, we initiated a three-year restructuring initiative pursuant to which we plan to: (i) combine our Chronic Care and Pain Management franchises into a single commercial organization focused on the Digestive Health and Orthopedic Pain & Recovery product categories; (ii) rationalize our product portfolio including certain low-margin, low-growth product categories, through targeted divestitures; (iii) undertake additional cost management activities to enhance the Company’s operating profitability; and (iv) pursue efficient capital allocation strategies, including through acquisitions that meet the Company’s strategic and financial criteria (the “Transformation Process”).
By 2025, we expect total gross savings of between $45.0 million and $55.0 million compared to 2022, most of which will be achieved in 2024. We expect the Transformation Process will be substantially complete by the end of 2025.
We expect to incur between $20.0 million and $25.0 million of cash expenses in connection with the Transformation Process, consisting of between $9.0 million and $12.0 million of program management consulting and employee retention expenses, between $8.0 million and $11.0 million of expenses associated with manufacturing and supply chain improvements and portfolio rationalization; and the remainder for expenses associated with organization design and alignment and other related activities. These amounts include between $6.0 million and $8.0 million of employee severance and benefits costs. The accompanying condensed consolidated income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 includes $8.9 million of costs incurred in connection with the Transformation Process in “Selling and general expenses.”
Results of Operations and Related Information
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
In this section, we present “Adjusted operating profit (loss),” which is a profitability measure that is not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and is therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measure. We provide this non-GAAP measure because we use it to measure our operational performance and provide greater insight into our ongoing business operations. This measure is not intended to be, and should not be, considered separately from, or an alternative to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided below under “Adjusted operating profit.”
Change in Accounting Principle
During the third quarter of 2022, we changed our method of accounting for certain inventory from the Last-In, First-Out (“LIFO”) method to the First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) method. The effects of the change in accounting method from LIFO to FIFO have been retrospectively applied to all periods presented in all sections of this Form 10-Q, including Management's Discussion and Analysis. Refer to Note 1, “Accounting Policies” in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further information related to the change in accounting principle. This change has no impact on our results herein for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Product Category Descriptions
Chronic care is a portfolio of products including:
•Digestive health products such as our MIC-KEY enteral feeding tubes, Corpak patient feeding solutions and NeoMed neonatal and pediatric feeding solutions; and
•Respiratory health products such as our closed airway suction systems and other airway management devices marketed under the Ballard, Microcuff and Endoclear brands.

Net Sales
Net sales decreased by 2.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to lower volume in pain management products and respiratory health products, partially offset by higher volume in digestive health products. In addition to volume, 1.0% of favorable pricing was offset by 1.1% of unfavorable foreign currency translation effects.

Adjusted Operating Profit
A reconciliation of adjusted operating profit (loss), a non-GAAP measure, to operating profit (loss) is provided in the table below (in millions):

Restructuring and transformation charges8.9 — 
EU MDR Compliance1.1 1.6 
Intangibles amortization6.3 5.7 
Adjusted operating profit (non-GAAP)$20.4 $17.6 
The items noted in the table above are described below:
Acquisition and integration-related charges: Acquisition and integration-related charges were $1.5 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Expenses in both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were related to the acquisition of OrthogenRx.
Restructuring and transformation charges: In January 2023, we initiated the Transformation Process, a three-year restructuring initiative intended to align the Company under a single commercial organization, rationalize our product portfolio, undertake additional cost management activities to enhance the Company’s operating profitability and pursue efficient capital allocation strategies. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred $8.9 million of expenses related to the Transformation Process which consisted of costs associated with program management consulting and employee retention expenses and employee severance and benefits costs.
EU MDR Compliance: The European Union Medical Device Regulation (the “EU MDR”) became effective in 2021 and brings significant new requirements for many of our medical devices. Incremental costs associated with EU MDR compliance are primarily related to re-certification of our products under the enhanced standards. We incurred $1.1 million and $1.6 million of costs related to EU MDR compliance in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. We expect the activities resulting in incremental costs associated with our initial compliance with the EU MDR will continue into 2024.
Intangibles amortization: Intangibles amortization is related primarily to intangibles acquired in business acquisitions and was $6.3 million and $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in amortization is due to incremental amortization of intangibles acquired with OrthogenRx early last year.

Interest Expense
Interest expense consists of interest accrued and amortization of debt issuance costs on our revolving credit facility net of interest capitalized on long-term capital projects. See Note 6, “Debt” in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Interest expense was $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1.3 million, in the comparable period last year. Our outstanding debt balances, net of unamortized discounts, were $210.9 million and $232.5 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Income Taxes
The income tax provision was $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our effective tax rate was 25.0% and 26.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand provided by operating activities and amounts available with our revolving credit facility under our credit agreement. We expect our operating cash flow will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements and fund capital expenditures in the next twelve months. In addition, with our borrowing capacity, we expect to have the ability to fund capital expenditures and other investments necessary to grow our business for the foreseeable future for both our domestic and international operations.
As of March 31, 2023, $47.9 million of our $95.7 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries. We consider the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested overseas and currently do not have
22
plans to repatriate such earnings. We do not expect restrictions on repatriation of cash held outside of the United States to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations for the foreseeable future.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $32.0 million to $95.7 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $127.7 million as of December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by $6.8 million of cash used in operating activities, payments of $20.0 million on our revolving credit facility and $1.6 million on our term loan, and $4.0 million of capital expenditures.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $14.2 million to $104.3 million as of March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by $116.7 million used to purchase OrthogenRx and $19.4 million used to repurchase shares of our common stock, partially offset by $1.8 million provided by operating activities and $125.0 million in proceeds received from the issuance of incremental long-term debt.
Long-Term Debt
On June 24, 2022, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders which established credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million, consisting of a five-year senior secured term loan of $125.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility allowing borrowings of up to $375.0 million, with a letter of credit sub-facility in an amount of $75.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). All obligations under the Credit Agreement and certain hedging agreements and cash management arrangements thereunder are: (i) guaranteed by each of the Company’s direct and indirect, existing and future, material wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (“Guarantors”) and (ii) secured by a first priority lien on substantially all the assets of the Company and the Guarantors. The Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature that allows us to incur incremental term loans under the Term Loan Facility or under new term loan facilities or to increase the amount of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, including through the establishment of one or more tranches under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement will mature on June 24, 2027.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at our option at either: (i) an adjusted term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), plus a margin ranging between 1.50% to 2.00% per annum, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio; (ii) an adjusted daily simple SOFR rate, plus a margin ranging between 1.50% to 2.00% per annum, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio; or (iii) a base rate (calculated as the greatest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the NYFRB rate (being the greater of the federal funds effective rate or the overnight bank funding rate) plus 0.50%, and (c) the one month adjusted term SOFR rate plus 1.00%), plus a margin ranging between 0.50% to 1.00% per annum, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio. The unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to a commitment fee ranging between 0.20% to 0.25% per annum, depending on our consolidated total leverage ratio.
The Credit Agreement requires compliance with certain customary operational and financial covenants. As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with these covenants. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains certain other customary limitations on our ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends on or repurchase or redeem our capital stock; make loans, investments and acquisitions; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; guarantee other obligations; create or grant liens; and enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates. Notwithstanding such limitations, the Credit Agreement allows us to pay dividends, repurchase stock and make investments up to an “Available Amount,” as defined in the Credit Agreement, provided no event of default has occurred and certain financial ratios have been achieved on a pro forma basis.
See Note 6, “Debt” in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further details regarding our debt agreements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared by applying certain accounting policies. See Note 1, “Accounting Policies” in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the Form 10-K, which describes our most significant accounting policies. In addition, our critical accounting policies and estimates are presented under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates” in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” in the Form 10-K. Certain of these policies require management to make estimates or assumptions that may prove inaccurate or be subject to variations that may significantly affect our reported results and financial position for the period or in future periods. Management views these policies as critical accounting policies. See Note 1, “Accounting Policies” in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for updates to our critical accounting policies and a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” in the Form 10-K.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes regarding our market risk position from the information provided under Item 7A – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Form 10-K.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
With the participation of management, our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Senior Vice President, and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as of March 31, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims and governmental inspections, audits or investigations pertaining to issues such as contract disputes, product liability, tax matters, patents and trademarks, advertising, governmental regulations, employment and other matters. At present, although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the ultimate resolution of any pending legal proceeding to which we are a party will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Form 10-K, except as follows:
Recent events in the banking industry and the associated macroeconomic impacts may have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The recent financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets and the potential threats to the solvency of commercial banks, investment banks and other financial institutions may have an adverse effect on our operations and the operations of companies with which we do business or in which we hold a minority stake. There can be no assurance that the actions taken by the Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in response to recent bank solvency concerns will achieve the purpose of stabilizing the financial markets, restoring consumer confidence, or have other intended effects. Concerns about the stability of financial markets and the solvency of lenders may cause further negative effects across the banking system and may cause the costs of obtaining financing from the credit markets to increase, which may limit our ability to secure adequate financing in the future or have other negative effects on our business operations, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
