CUTERA, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Description of Operations and Principles of Consolidation

Cutera, Inc. (“Cutera” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of aesthetic and dermatology solutions for practitioners worldwide. The Company develops, manufactures, distributes, and markets energy-based product platforms for use by medical practitioners, enabling them to offer safe and effective treatments to their customers. The Company currently markets the following system platforms: enlighten, excel, Secret PRO, Secret RF, truSculpt and xeo. Several of the Company’s systems offer multiple hand pieces and applications, providing customers the flexibility to upgrade their systems. The sales of (i) systems, system upgrades, and hand pieces (collectively “Systems” revenue); (ii) replacement hand pieces, Titan, truSculpt 3D, truSculpt iD and truSculpt flex cycle refills, and single use disposable tips applicable to Secret PRO and Secret RF, as well as AviClear (“Consumables” revenue); and (iii) the distribution of third party manufactured skincare products (“Skincare” revenue); are collectively classified as “Products” revenue. In addition to Product revenue, the Company generates revenue from the sale of post-warranty service contracts, parts, detachable hand piece replacements (except for Titan, truSculpt 3D, truSculpt iD and truSculpt flex) and service labor for the repair and maintenance of products that are out of warranty, all of which are collectively classified as “Service” revenue.

In March 2022, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the AviClear acne treatment device ("AviClear"). AviClear is a laser treatment that offers a safe, prescription-free solution for acne. AviClear is currently available in a limited commercial capacity in the U.S. and the Company expects a full commercial launch by the end of the current calendar year.

The Company’s corporate headquarters and U.S. operations are located in Brisbane, California, where the Company conducts manufacturing, warehousing, research and development, regulatory, sales and marketing, service, and administrative activities. The Company markets, sells and services its products through its sales and service employees in North America (including Canada), Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Sales and services outside of these direct markets are made through a worldwide distributor network in over 42 countries. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of its condensed consolidated statements of financial position as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and its condensed consolidated statements of results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021. The December 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year or any other interim period. Presentation of certain prior year balances have been updated to conform with the current year presentation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s previously filed audited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2022.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company's future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company's future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, continued acceptance of the Company's products, stability of global financial markets, cybersecurity breaches and other disruptions that could compromise the Company’s information or results, business disruptions that are caused by natural disasters or pandemic events, management of international activities, competition from substitute products and larger companies, ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals, government regulations and oversight, patent and other types of litigation, product liability matters, ability to protect proprietary technology from counterfeit versions of the Company's products, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals.

The COVID-19 outbreak and related variants have negatively affected the United States and global economies. The Company cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any impacts in future periods from business shutdowns or

9

disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the impact on economic activity including the possibility of recession or financial market instability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, revenue, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

In addition, the world is currently experiencing widespread inflation. Household budgets could become tight with cash being conserved and spent on essential items like housing, gas, food, clothing and healthcare. Given the inflationary environment, fewer funds may be spent on aesthetic treatments, which may translate into less demand for the Company's products and less revenue as a result.

The Company continues to assess whether any impairment of its goodwill or its long-lived assets has occurred and has determined that no charges were necessary during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company will continue to monitor future conditions important to its assessment of potential impairment of its long-lived assets and goodwill.

In 2021, the Company experienced a significant increase in sales of skincare products under the exclusive distribution agreement with ZO Skin Health, Inc. (“ZO”), which allows the Company to sell ZO’s skincare products in Japan. The Company relies on ZO as the sole supplier for skincare products. The reason for the increase in skincare products sales may have been the result of the COVID-19 pandemic changing customers’ spending habits, resulting in customers purchasing aesthetic treatments that were able to be applied at home, due to limitations on in-person aesthetic procedures. Future growth in sales of skincare products depends on customers maintaining spending habits adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic. If customers revert to original spending habits after the COVID-19 pandemic, such changes may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenue, operating results, and cash flows.

Accounting Policies

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim financial statements. While these statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, amounts presented within the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements refer to the Company’s continuing operations.

Derivatives

Derivatives are recognized at fair value and reported on a gross basis. The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on transactions denominated in nonfunctional currencies, thereby limiting the Company's risk that would otherwise result from changes in exchange rates. Forward currency exchange contracts are recorded at their fair value each period.

Leases

The Company incurs costs to fulfill its lease agreement obligations with its AviClear device lessees. These costs consist of freight, installation, and training. In addition to these mobilization costs, the Company incurs commission costs associated with the placement of the AviClear device. The Company capitalizes commission costs and has made a policy election to capitalize the mobilization costs.

In the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company capitalized $0.7 million of mobilization costs and $1.3 million of deferred commission costs. These costs are recorded in Other long-term assets in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized over the expected lease term.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to warranty obligations, sales commissions, allowance for credit losses, sales allowances, fair value of investments, valuation of inventories, fair value of goodwill, useful lives of property and equipment, impairment testing for long-lived-assets, implicit and incremental borrowing rates related to

10

the Company’s leases, variables used in calculating the fair value of the Company's equity awards, expected achievement of performance based vesting criteria and management performance bonuses, assumptions used in operating and sales-type lease classifications, the standalone selling price of the Company's products and services, the period of benefit used to capitalize and amortize contract acquisition costs, variable considerations, contingent liabilities, recoverability of deferred tax assets, residual value of leased equipment, lease term and effective income tax rates. Management bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-6, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Topic 470) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815), to simplify the accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the beneficial conversion and cash conversion separation models for convertible instruments. Under the amendment, the embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. The update also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the computation of diluted earnings per share. The Company early adopted the guidance on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2021. See Note 14 – Debt.

Note 2. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Investments

The Company invests its cash primarily in money market funds and in highly liquid debt instruments of U.S. federal and municipal governments and their agencies. All highly liquid investments with stated maturities of three months or less from date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents and all highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months are classified as marketable investments. The majority of the Company’s cash and investments are held in U.S. banks and U.S. Treasuries. The Company's foreign subsidiaries maintain a limited amount of cash in their local banks to cover their short term operating expenses.

The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company’s marketable securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale securities. Investments with remaining maturities of more than one year are viewed by the Company as available to support current operations and are classified as current assets under the caption marketable investments in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Investments in available-for-sale debt securities are measured at fair value under the guidance in ASC 320. Credit losses on impaired available-for-sale debt securities are recognized through an allowance for credit losses. Under ASC 326, credit losses recognized on an available-for-sale debt security should not reduce the net carrying amount of the available-for-sale debt security below its fair value. Any changes in fair value unrelated to credit are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in other comprehensive income.

The following table summarizes the Company's cash and cash equivalents and marketable investments (in thousands):

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, net unrealized losses were $0.3 million and nil, respectively, and were related to interest rate changes on available-for-sale marketable investments. The Company has concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that the securities will be held until maturity or the recovery of their cost basis. No securities were in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. The restricted cash balance relates to an outstanding letter of credit for $0.7 million provided to a supplier.

The following table summarizes the contractual maturities of the Company’s available-for-sale securities, classified as marketable investments, as of September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

Note 3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value, including cash and cash equivalents.

The fair value hierarchy contains the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, in accordance with ASC 820:

•Level 1 inputs, which include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 inputs, which include observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. When sufficient quoted pricing for identical securities is not available, the Company uses market pricing and other observable market inputs for similar securities obtained from various third-party data providers. These inputs either represent quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or have been derived from observable market data; and

•Level 3 inputs, which include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considering counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

As of September 30, 2022, financial assets measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis and classified under the appropriate level of the fair value hierarchy as described above were as follows (in thousands):

12

September 30, 2022	Level 1		Level 2
Cash equivalents:
Money market funds	$	960	$	—
Marketable investments:
Available-for-sale securities	204,946		—
Derivative assets:
Foreign exchange forward			292
Total	$	205,906	$	292

At December 31, 2021, the Company had no money market funds, marketable investments or derivative assets.

See Note 14 - Debt for the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes” and, together with the 2026 Notes, the “Convertible Notes”).

Note 4. Derivative Instruments

The Company uses foreign currency exchange forward contracts to manage the impact of currency exchange fluctuations on earnings and cash flow. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The Company is exposed to potential credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on its outstanding derivative instruments but the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of its counterparties. Should a counterparty default, the Company's maximum loss exposure would be the potential asset balance of the instrument.

The cash flow effect of the derivative instruments settlement is recorded in cash flow from operations.

Note 6. Product Warranty

The Company has a direct field service organization in North America (including Canada). Internationally, the Company provides direct service support in Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. In several other countries, where the Company does not have a direct presence, the Company provides service through a network of distributors and third-party service providers.

14

After the original warranty period, maintenance and support are offered on an extended service contract basis or on a time and materials basis. The Company provides the estimated cost to repair or replace products under standard warranty at the time of sale. Costs incurred in connection with extended service contracts are generally recognized at the time when costs are incurred.

The following table provides the changes in the product warranty accrual for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Ending Balance	$	3,802	$	3,926	$	3,802	$	3,926

Note 7. Deferred Revenue

The Company records deferred revenue when revenue is to be recognized subsequent to invoicing. For extended service contracts, the Company generally invoices customers at the beginning of the extended service contract term. The Company’s extended service contracts typically have one to three-year terms. Deferred revenue also includes payments for training. Approximately 85% of the Company’s deferred revenue balance of $12.4 million as of September 30, 2022 will be recognized over the next 12 months.

The following table provides changes in the deferred revenue balance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Beginning balance	$	11,527	$	11,403	$	10,825	$	11,237

Ending balance	$	12,401	$	10,680	$	12,401	$	10,680

Costs for extended service contracts were $1.4 million and $4.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and were $2.1 million and $6.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Note 8. Revenue

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods or services. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied either over time or at a point in time. Revenue from performance obligations that are transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately 8% and 7% of the Company's total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 12% for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company has certain system sale arrangements that contain multiple products and services. For these bundled sale arrangements, the Company accounts for individual products and services as separate performance obligations if they are distinct. The Company’s products and services are distinct if a customer can benefit from the product or service on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and if the Company’s promise to transfer the products or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the sale arrangements. The Company’s system sale arrangements can include all or a combination of the following performance obligations: the system and software license (considered one performance obligation), system accessories (hand pieces), training, other accessories, extended service contracts, marketing services, and time and materials services.

15

For the Company’s system sale arrangements that include an extended service contract, the period of service commences at the expiration of the Company’s standard warranty offered at the time of the system sale. The Company considers the extended service contracts terms in the arrangements that are legally enforceable to be performance obligations. Other than extended service contracts and marketing services, which are satisfied over time, the Company generally satisfies all performance obligations at a point in time. Systems, system accessories (hand pieces), service contracts, training, and time and materials services are also sold on a stand-alone basis. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price of the contract to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis.

Nature of Products and Services

Systems

Systems revenue is generated from the sale of systems and from the sale of upgrades to existing systems. A system consists of a console that incorporates a universal graphic user interface, a laser or other energy-based module, control system software and high voltage electronics, as well as one or more hand pieces. In certain applications, the laser or other energy-based module is contained in the hand piece rather than within the console.

The Company offers customers the ability to select the system that best fits their practice at the time of purchase and then to cost-effectively add applications to their system as their practice grows.

The system or upgrade and the right to use the embedded software represent a single performance obligation as the software license is integral to the functionality of the system or upgrade.

For systems sold directly to end-customers that are credit approved, revenue is recognized when the Company transfers control to the end-customer, which occurs when the product is shipped to the customer or when the customer receives the product, depending on the nature of the arrangement. When collectability is not established in advance of receipt of payment from the customer, revenue is recognized upon the later of the receipt of payment or the satisfaction of the performance obligation. For systems sold through credit approved distributors, revenue is recognized at the time of shipment to the distributor.

The Company typically receives payment for its system consoles and other accessories within 30 days of shipment. Certain international distributor arrangements allow for longer payment terms.

Skincare products

The Company sells third-party manufactured skincare products in Japan. The skincare products are purchased from a third-party manufacturer and sold to medical offices and licensed physicians. The Company warrants that the skincare products are free of significant defects in workmanship and materials for 90 days from shipment. The Company acts as the principal in this arrangement, as the Company determines the price to charge customers for the skincare products and controls the products before they are transferred to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue for skincare products at a point in time upon shipment.

Consumables and other accessories

The Company classifies its customers' purchases of replacement cycles for truSculpt iD and truSculpt flex, as well as replacement hand pieces, xeo and truSculpt 3D hand pieces, and single use disposable tips applicable to Secret PRO, and Secret RF as Consumable revenue. The Secret PRO and Secret RF products' single use disposable tips must be replaced after every treatment. The Company’s systems offer multiple hand pieces and applications, which allow customers to upgrade their systems.

Extended service contract

The Company offers post-warranty services to its customers through extended service contracts that cover parts and labor for a term of one to three years. Service contract revenue is recognized over time, using a time-based measure of progress, as customers benefit from the service throughout the service period. The Company also offers services on a time-and-materials basis for systems and detachable hand piece replacements. Revenue related to services performed on a time-and-materials basis is recognized when performed.

Training

Sales of systems to customers include training on the use of the system to be provided within 180 days of purchase. The Company considers training a separate performance obligation as customers can immediately benefit from the training together

16

with the customer’s system. Training is also sold separately from systems. The Company recognizes revenue for training when the training is provided.

Significant Judgments

The Company determines standalone selling price ("SSP") for each performance obligation as follows:

•Systems: The SSPs for systems are based on directly observable sales in similar circumstances to similar customers.

•Extended warranty/Service contracts: SSP is based on observable price when sold on a standalone basis to similar customers.

Loyalty Program

The Company has a customer loyalty program for qualified customers located in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Under the loyalty program, based on their purchasing levels, customers accumulate points that can be redeemed for such rewards as the right to attend the Company’s advanced training event for truSculpt, or a ticket for the Company’s annual forum. A customer’s account must be in good standing to receive the benefits of the rewards program. Rewards are earned on a quarterly basis and must be used in the following quarter. All unused rewards are forfeited. The fair value of the reward earned by loyalty program members is included in accrued liabilities and recorded as a reduction of net revenue at the time the reward is earned. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the liability for the loyalty program included in accrued liabilities was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Deferred Sales Commissions

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, which consist of commissions and related payroll taxes, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, except for costs that are recognized when product is sold. The Company uses the portfolio method to recognize the amortization expense related to these capitalized costs related to initial contracts and such expense is recognized over a period associated with the revenue of the related portfolio.

Total capitalized costs as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $5.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively, and are included in Other long-term assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amortization expense for these assets was $0.6 million and $1.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.4 million and $1.4 million during three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The amortization related to these capitalized costs is included in sales and marketing expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-based Compensation Expense

The Company’s equity incentive plans are broad-based, long-term programs intended to attract and retain talented employees and align stockholder and employee interests. The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan") provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units ("PSUs"), and other stock or cash awards.

The Company’s Board of Directors granted the Company's executive officers, senior management and certain employees 166,421 PSUs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The majority of these PSUs vest subject to the Company’s achievement of certain operational goals for the 2022 fiscal year related to product and commercial milestones. In addition, there is a service requirement related to half of the granted quantity that requires the grant recipient to provide one year of service subsequent to the milestone achievement date.

The Company’s Board of Directors also granted its executive officers and senior management 184,313 RSUs and 278,903 non-qualified stock options (“NQs”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The RSUs and NQs vest over four years with one-fourth vesting on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date of January 1, 2022 and 1/36th of the remaining underlying shares vest each month thereafter.

Activity under the Company's equity incentive plans is summarized as follows:

Note 10. Net (Loss) Income Per Share

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted the accounting standard update to simplify the accounting for convertible debt instruments. The Company now uses the if-converted method for its Convertible Notes in calculating the diluted net income (loss) per share, and includes the effect of potential share settlement for the convertible notes, if the effect is dilutive.

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and the if-converted method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units, ESPP shares and conversion shares under the convertible notes. The diluted EPS is computed with the assumption that the Company will settle the convertible debt in shares, rather than cash.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s Convertible Notes were initially convertible into 6,640,256 shares of common stock.

The denominator for diluted net income (loss) per share does not include any effect from the capped call transactions the Company entered into concurrently with the issuances of convertible notes, as this effect would be anti-dilutive. In the event of conversion of a convertible note, shares delivered to the Company under the capped call will offset the dilutive effect of the shares that the Company would issue under the convertible notes. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the if-converted method was not applied as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, a basic loss per common share and diluted loss per common share are the same in each period as the inclusion of any potentially issuable shares would be anti-dilutive.

19

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) and the weighted average number of shares used in computing basic and diluted net (loss) income per share (in thousands, except per share data):

The Company's income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is due to income taxes in foreign jurisdictions. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets.

Note 12. Leases

The Company is a party to certain operating and finance leases for vehicles, office space and storage facilities. The Company’s operating leases consist of office space, as well as storage facilities and finance leases consist of automobiles. The Company’s leases generally have remaining terms of one to 10 years, some of which include options to renew the leases for up to five years. The Company leases space for operations in the United States, Australia, Belgium, France, Japan and Spain. In addition

20

to the above facility leases, the Company also routinely leases automobiles for certain sales and field service employees under finance leases.

The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, the Company estimates the incremental secured borrowing rates corresponding to the maturities of the leases. The Company based the rate estimates on prevailing financial market conditions, credit analysis, and management judgment.

The Company recognizes expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, tenant incentives used to fund leasehold improvements are recognized when earned and reduce the Company’s right-of-use (“ROU”) asset related to the lease. These are amortized through the ROU asset as reductions of expense over the lease term.

Note 13. Contingencies

The Company is named from time to time as a party to other legal proceedings, product liability, commercial disputes, employee disputes, and contractual lawsuits in the normal course of business. A liability and related charge are recorded to earnings in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for legal contingencies when the loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The assessment is re-evaluated each accounting period and is based on all available information, including discussion with outside legal counsel. If a reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss cannot be made, but a range of probable losses can be estimated, the low-end of the range of losses is recognized if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other. If a material loss is reasonably possible, but not probable and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred.

On January 31, 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit against Lutronic Aesthetics in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Lutronic employs numerous former Company employees. The complaint against Lutronic generally alleges claims for (1) misappropriation of trade secrets in violation of state and federal law; (2) violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO); (3) interference with contractual relations; (4) interference with prospective economic advantage; (5) unfair competition; and (6) aiding and abetting. On March 13, 2020, the court entered a temporary restraining order against Lutronic generally prohibiting it from using or disseminating the Company's confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information. The order also prohibits Lutronic, for two years, from using such information for the purpose of soliciting, or conducting business with, certain specified customers. At the parties’ request, the Court subsequently entered a preliminary injunction providing for the same restrictions in the restraining order. The Company will soon file a second amended complaint against Lutronic Aesthetics. In addition to the above-referenced claims against it, the amended complaint will allege the following additional claims: (1) violation of the Lanham Act; (2) unlawful business practices; (3) false advertising; and (4) trademark infringement. The Company also seeks to amend the complaint to add Lutronic Corporation (the Korean parent company of Lutronic Aesthetics) as an additional defendant, and allege against it the above-described claims for misappropriation of trade secrets, violation of RICO, interference with contractual relations and prospective economic advantage, unfair competition, and aiding and abetting. Discovery is ongoing and no trial date has been scheduled.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had accrued $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to various pending commercial and product liability lawsuits. The Company does not believe that a material loss in excess of accrued amounts is reasonably likely.

Issuance of convertible notes due in 2026

In March 2021, the Company issued $138.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes in a private placement offering. The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.25% per year payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. Upon conversion, the 2026 Notes will be convertible into either cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The Convertible notes are presented as Convertible notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The aggregate proceeds from the offering were approximately $133.6 million, net of issuance costs, including initial purchasers fees.

Each $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes is initially convertible into 30.1427 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $33.18 per share. The conversion rate for the 2026 Notes is subject to adjustment for certain events as set forth in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased in accordance with the terms of the 2026 Notes.

Issuance of convertible notes due in 2028

In May 2022, the Company issued $240.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes. A total of $230.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes was issued in a private placement offering and concurrently with this private placement, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Voce Capital Management LLC ("Voce"), an entity affiliated with J. Daniel Plants, the Company’s Executive Chairperson, pursuant to which the Company issued to Voce $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes on the same terms and conditions. The aggregate proceeds from the offering of 2028 Notes were approximately $232.4 million, net of issuance costs, including initial purchaser fees.

The 2028 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.25% per year payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2022. Upon conversion, the 2028 Notes will be convertible into either cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. Each $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Notes is initially convertible into 18.9860 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $52.67 per share. The conversion rate for the 2028 Notes is subject to adjustment for certain events as set forth in the indenture governing the 2028 Notes. The 2028 Notes are presented as Convertible notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

2026 Notes exchange

In May 2022, the Company entered into privately-negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of the Company’s outstanding 2026 Notes with respect to the exchange of $45.8 million in cash (excluding $0.3 million in cash for the payment of accrued interest) and 1,354,348 shares of common stock for $69.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 2026 Notes (the “2026 Notes Exchange”). Immediately following the closing of the 2026 Notes Exchange, approximately $69.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes remained outstanding.

The 2026 Notes Exchange was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. The Company recorded the difference between the proceeds paid and the carrying amount of the debt as an extinguishment loss, with a corresponding entry to common stock and Additional-paid-in capital for the issuance of the shares at the then-trading price of $41.31 per share. The table below presents

Conversion and other features

2026 Notes:

Holders may convert their 2026 Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2025, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances:

•During any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the 2026 Notes on each applicable trading day;

•During the five-business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

•The Company calls such 2026 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

•Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

On or after December 15, 2025, and until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2026 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

The circumstances described in the first bullet of the paragraph above were met during the third quarter of 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the 2026 Notes are convertible. Upon any conversion requests of the 2026 Notes, the Company would be required to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election with respect to such conversion requests. To the extent there are any conversion requests during the twelve months ending September 30, 2023, the Company intends to settle such conversion requests in shares of common stock. Therefore, as of September 30, 2022, the 2026 Notes have been included as Long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company may not redeem the 2026 Notes prior to March 20, 2024. On or after March 20, 2024, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2026 Notes, at the Company’s option, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding 2026 Notes, at least $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date.

25

If a specified corporate event occurs, 2026 Note holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase any portion or all of their 2026 Notes in $1,000 principal increments for cash. The price for such repurchase is calculated as 100% of the principal amounts of 2026 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change repurchase date. Additionally, holders of the 2026 Notes who convert in connection with a fundamental change are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in conversion rate.

The 2026 Notes are general senior unsecured obligations that rank senior to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is explicitly subordinated to the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes have equal rank in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not subordinated to the 2026 Notes (including the 2028 Notes). The 2026 Notes will be junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 2026 Notes do not contain any financial or operating covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the issuance of other indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company.

The estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes was approximately $186.2 million as of September 30, 2022, which the Company determined through consideration of market prices. The fair value measurement is classified as Level 2, as defined in Note 3.

2028 Notes:

Holders may convert their 2028 Notes at their option, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances:

•During any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2022 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the 2028 Notes on each applicable trading day;

•During the five-business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

•The Company calls such 2028 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

•Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

On or after March 1, 2028, and until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2028 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

The 2028 Notes may become convertible in future periods. Upon any conversion requests of the 2028 Notes, the Company would be required to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election with respect to such conversion requests. To the extent there are any conversion requests during the twelve months ending September 30, 2023, the Company intends to settle such conversion requests in shares of common stock. Therefore, as of September 30, 2022, the 2028 Notes have been included as long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company may not redeem the 2028 Notes prior to June 5, 2025. On or after June 5, 2025, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2028 Notes, at the Company’s option, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding 2028 Notes, at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date.

26

If a specified corporate event occurs, note holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase any portion or all of their 2028 Notes in $1,000 principal increments for cash. The price for such repurchase is calculated as 100% of the principal amounts of 2028 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change repurchase date. Additionally, holders of the 2028 Notes who convert in connection with a fundamental change are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in conversion rate.

The 2028 Notes are general senior unsecured obligations that rank senior to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is explicitly subordinated to the 2028 Notes. The 2028 Notes have equal rank in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not subordinated to the 2028 Notes (including the 2026 Notes). The 2028 Notes will be junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 2028 Notes do not contain any financial or operating covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the issuance of other indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company.

The estimated fair value of the 2028 Notes was approximately $246.0 million as of September 30, 2022, which the Company determined through consideration of market prices. The fair value measurement is classified as Level 2, as defined in Note 3.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the issuance of each series of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain option counterparties. The capped call transactions are generally intended to reduce the potential dilution of the Company's common stock upon any conversion or settlement of the applicable series of Convertible Notes or to offset any cash payment the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount upon conversion of the applicable series of Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. If the market price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the cap price of the applicable capped call transactions, then the Company’s stock would experience some dilution and/or such capped call transactions would not fully offset the potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent the then-market price per share of its common stock exceeds the applicable cap price.

In connection with the offering of the 2026 Notes, the Company purchased from the option counterparties capped call options that in the aggregate relate to the total number of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the convertible notes, with a strike price equal to the conversion price of the convertible notes and with an initial cap price equal to $45.535, which represented a 75% premium over the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock of $26.02 per share on March 4, 2021, with certain adjustments to the settlement terms that reflect standard anti-dilution provisions. The capped call transactions expire over 40 consecutive scheduled trading days ended on March 12, 2026. The capped calls were purchased for $16.1 million.

In connection with the offering of the 2028 Notes, the Company purchased from the option counterparties capped call options that in the aggregate related to the total number of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the 2028 Notes sold to the initial purchasers in the offering of 2028 Notes, with a strike price equal to the conversion price of the 2028 Notes and with an initial cap price equal to $82.62, which represents a 100% premium over the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock of $41.31 per share on May 24, 2022, with certain adjustments to the settlement terms that reflect standard anti-dilution provisions. These capped call transactions expire over 40 consecutive scheduled trading days ended on May 30, 2028. The capped calls were purchased for $32.0 million, net of issuance costs.

The Company evaluated the capped call transactions under authoritative accounting guidance and determined that they should be accounted for as a separate transaction and classified as a net reduction to Additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity with no recurring fair value measurement recorded.

The Company early adopted ASU 2020-6, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) on January 1, 2021. In accordance with Subtopic 470-20 and 815-40, as revised by ASU 2020-6, the Company records the convertible notes in long-term debt with no separation between the Notes and the conversion option. Each reporting period, the Company will determine whether any criteria is met for the note holders to have the option to redeem the Notes early, which could result in a change in the classification of the Notes to current liabilities.

Debt Issuance Cost

The issuance costs related to the Convertible Notes are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Convertible Notes.

27

The issuance costs are amortized using an effective interest method basis over the term of the Convertible Notes and accordingly the Company recorded approximately $0.4 million and $0.9 million of amortization of debt issuance costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. As noted under “2026 Notes Exchange” above, $1.8 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the 2026 Notes was included in the loss on debt extinguishment in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The effective interest rates on the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes are 2.98% and 2.82%, respectively. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, including the amortization of debt issuance cost, totaled approximately $2.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, including the amortization of debt issuance cost, totaled approximately $1.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Loan and Security Agreement

On July 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank for a four-year secured revolving loan facility (“SVB Revolving Line of Credit”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million. The SVB Revolving Line of Credit matures on July 9, 2024.

In order to draw on the full amount of the SVB Revolving Line of Credit, the Company must satisfy certain liquidity ratios. If the Company is unable to meet these liquidity ratios, then availability under the revolving line is calculated as 80% of the Company’s qualifying accounts receivable. The proceeds of the revolving loans may be used for general corporate purposes. The Company’s obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Interest on principal amount outstanding under the revolving line shall accrue at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of either 1.75% above the Prime Rate or five percent (5.0%). The Company paid a non-refundable revolving line commitment fee of $0.3 million, on the effective date of the Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank of July 9, 2020, and the Company is required to pay an anniversary fee of $0.3 million on each twelve-month anniversary of the effective date of the Loan and Security Agreement.

The Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank contains customary affirmative covenants, such as financial statement reporting requirements and delivery of borrowing base certificates, as well as customary covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, sell certain assets, guarantee obligations of third parties, declare dividends, or make certain distributions, and undergo a merger or consolidation or certain other transactions. The Loan and Security Agreement also contains certain financial covenants, including maintaining a quarterly minimum revenue of $90.0 million, determined in accordance with GAAP on a trailing twelve-month basis, but which is only applicable if the Company has an outstanding balance under the loan facility.

On March 4, 2021, the Loan and Security Agreement dated July 9, 2020 was amended to (i) permit the Company to issue the convertible notes and perform its obligations in connection therewith, and (ii) permit the capped call transactions.

On May 27, 2021, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended. The amendment removed the quarterly minimum revenue requirement but kept in place the other financial covenants.

On May 24, 2022, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended. The amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement permitted the issuance of the 2028 Notes, the capped call transactions related to the 2028 Notes and the 2026 Notes Exchange.

On August 10, 2022, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended. The amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement waived a violation of a covenant and revised the Loan Agreement to permit the issuance of the 2028 Notes.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had not drawn on the SVB Revolving Line of Credit and the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants of the SVB Revolving Line of Credit.

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan

On April 22, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $7.2 million pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the CARES Act. The loan, which was in the form of a promissory note dated April 21, 2020, between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank as the lender, originally matured on April 21, 2022 and bore interest at a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing September 2021. There was no prepayment penalty. Under the terms of the PPP, all or a portion of the principal may have been forgiven if the loan proceeds were used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, such as payroll costs, benefits, rent, and utilities.

28

The PPP loan and related accrued interest were forgiven in June 2021 under the provisions of the CARES Act, and a $7.2 million gain on forgiveness was recorded as Gain on extinguishment of PPP loan in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Note 15. Segment reporting

Segment reporting is based on the “management approach,” following the method that management organizes the Company’s reportable segments for which separate financial information is made available to, and evaluated regularly by, the chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision makers ("CODM") are its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), who make decisions on allocating resources and in assessing performance.

Executive Summary

Company Description 

The Company is a leading provider of aesthetic and dermatology solutions for practitioners worldwide. In addition to internal development of products, the Company distributes third party sourced products. The Company offers easy-to-use products that enable medical practitioners to perform safe and effective procedures, including treatment for acne, body contouring, skin resurfacing and revitalization, tattoo removal, removal of benign pigmented lesions, vascular conditions, and hair removal. The Company’s platforms are designed to be easily upgraded to add additional applications and hand pieces, which provide flexibility for the Company’s customers as they expand their practices. In addition to systems and upgrade revenue, the Company generates revenue from the sale of post warranty service contracts, providing services for products that are out of warranty, hand piece refills and other per procedure related revenue on select systems and distribution of third-party manufactured skincare products. The Company also expands its revenues from sales of third-party skincare products by utilizing its network and relationships with physicians and practitioners.

30

The Company’s ongoing research and development activities primarily focus on developing new products, as well as improving and enhancing the Company’s portfolio of existing products. The Company also explores ways to expand the Company’s product offerings through alternative arrangements with other companies, such as distribution arrangements. The Company introduced Secret RF, a fractional RF microneedling device for skin revitalization, in January 2018, enlighten SR in April 2018, truSculpt iD in July 2018, excel V+ in February 2019, truSculpt flex in June 2019, Secret PRO in July 2020, excel V+III during the fourth quarter of 2020, and AviClear in April 2022.

The Company’s corporate headquarters and U.S. operations are located in Brisbane, California, where the Company conducts manufacturing, warehousing, research and development, regulatory, sales and marketing, service, and administrative activities. The Company markets sells and services the Company’s products through direct sales and service employees in North America (including Canada), Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Sales and Services outside of these direct markets are made through a worldwide distributor network in over 42 countries.

Products and Services

The Company derives revenue from the sale of Products and Services. Product revenue includes revenue from the sale of systems, hand pieces and upgrade of systems (collectively “Systems” revenue), replacement hand pieces, truSculpt iD cycle refills, and truSculpt flex cycle refills, as well as single use disposable tips applicable to Secret RF and Secret PRO (“Consumables” revenue), and the sale of third party manufactured skincare products (“Skincare” revenue). A system consists of a console that incorporates a universal graphic user interface, a laser and or other energy-based module, control system software and high voltage electronics, as well as one or more hand pieces. However, depending on the application, the laser or other energy-based module is sometimes contained in the hand piece.

The Company offers customers the ability to select the system that best fits their practice at the time of purchase and then to cost-effectively add applications to their system as their practice grows. This provides customers the flexibility to upgrade their systems whenever they choose and provides the Company with a source of additional Systems revenue. The Company’s primary system platforms include excel, enlighten, Secret RF, truSculpt and xeo.

In March 2022, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for the AviClear acne treatment device.

AviClear is a laser treatment that offers a safe, prescription-free solution for acne. In addition to reducing existing acne, clinical trials show that future breakout episodes are shorter, less intense, and more infrequent following the AviClear procedure. Further, acne clearance results continue to improve over time, demonstrating the long-term efficacy of this novel treatment. Importantly, no pain mitigation was utilized or required by any clinical study participant.

Acne vulgaris is a nearly universal skin disease, with approximately 50 million North American teens and young adults seeking treatment each year. Overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands is one of the leading causes of acne. AviClear tackles acne at the source by selectively targeting the sebocytes and suppressing sebum production. This product is a 1726 nm laser device designed to treat inflammatory acne vulgaris. AviClear delivers optimal therapeutic energy in conjunction with the AviCool feature to ensure safety and scalability of the procedure across all skin types and acne severities. AviClear is currently available in a limited commercial capacity in the U.S. and the Company expects a full commercial launch by the end of the current calendar year.

Skincare revenue relates to the distribution of ZO’s skincare products in Japan. The skincare products are purchased from a third-party manufacturer and sold to medical offices and licensed physicians. The Company acts as the principal in this arrangement, as the Company determines the price to charge customers for the skincare products and controls the products before they are transferred to the customer.

Service revenue includes prepaid service contracts, customer marketing support and labor on out-of-warranty products.

Significant Business Trends

The Company believes that its ability to grow revenue will be primarily dependent on the following:

•the successful commercialization of AviClear

•continuing to expand the Company’s product offerings, both through internal development and sourcing from other vendors;

•ongoing investment in the Company’s global sales and marketing infrastructure;

•use of clinical results to support new aesthetic products and applications;

31

•enhanced physician development and reference selling efforts (to develop a location where Company’s products can be displayed and used to assist in selling efforts);

•customer demand for the Company’s products;

•consumer demand for the application of the Company’s products;

•marketing to those practitioners focused on aesthetic and dermatological conditions; and

•generating recurring revenue from the Company’s growing installed base of customers through the sale of system upgrades, services, hand piece refills, truSculpt cycles, skincare products and replacement tips for the Secret RF product.

For a detailed discussion of the significant business trends impacting its business, please see the section titled “Results of Operations” below.

Factors that May Impact Future Performance

The Company’s industry is impacted by numerous competitive, regulatory and other significant factors. The Company’s industry is highly competitive and the Company’s future performance depends on the Company’s ability to compete successfully. Additionally, the Company’s future performance is dependent upon the ability to continue to expand the Company’s product offerings with innovative technologies, obtain regulatory clearances for the Company’s products, protect the proprietary technology of the products and manufacturing processes, manufacture the products cost-effectively, and successfully market and distribute the products in a profitable manner. If the Company fails to execute on the aforementioned initiatives, the Company’s business would be adversely affected.

The Company supports any reasonable action that helps ensure patient safety going forward. The Company has a robust, multi-functional process that reviews its promotional claims and materials to ensure they are truthful, not misleading, fair and balanced, and supported by sound scientific evidence.

A detailed discussion of these and other factors that could impact the Company’s future performance are provided in (1) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021- Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” and (2) other announcements the Company makes from time to time.

Risks and Uncertainties

The COVID-19 outbreak and related variants have negatively affected the United States and global economies. The Company cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any impacts in future periods from business shutdowns or disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the impact on economic activity including the possibility of recession or financial market instability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, revenue, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

In addition, the world is currently experiencing widespread inflation. Household budgets are tight and cash is generally being conserved and spent on essential items like housing, gas, food, clothing and healthcare. Given the inflationary environment, fewer funds may be spent on aesthetic treatments, which may translate into less demand for our products and less revenue as a result.

The Company continues to assess whether any impairment of its goodwill or its long-lived assets has occurred and has determined that no charges were necessary during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company will continue to monitor future conditions important to its assessment of potential impairment of its long-lived assets and goodwill.

In 2021, the Company experienced a significant increase in sales of skincare products under the exclusive distribution agreement with ZO Skin Health, Inc., which allows the Company to sell ZO’s skincare products in Japan. The Company relies on ZO as the sole supplier for skincare products. The reason for the increase in skincare products sales may have been the result of the COVID-19 pandemic changing customers’ spending habits, resulting in customers purchasing aesthetic treatments that were able to be applied at home, due to limitations on in-person aesthetic procedures. Future growth in sales of skincare products depends on customers maintaining spending habits adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic. If customers revert to original spending habits after the COVID-19 pandemic, such changes may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenue, operating results, and cash flows.

Critical accounting policies, significant judgments and use of estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes requires the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company has based its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company periodically reviews its

32

estimates and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, its financial condition or results of operations will be affected.

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that its critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of its audited consolidated financial statements.

The accounting policies and estimates that the Company considers to be critical, subjective, and requiring judgment in their application are summarized in “Item 7-Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022. There have been no new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

The Company established new accounting policies to account for the 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes” and, together with the 2028 Notes, the “Convertible Notes”) and related transactions during the first quarter of 2021.

The Company issued $138.3 million of 2026 Notes in a private placement offering in March 2021. In May 2022, the Company issued an additional $240.0 million of convertible notes in a further private placement offering. Also in May 2022, the Company extinguished $69.1 million of the $138.3 million principal balance of the convertible notes issued in 2021. The notes issued in 2021 and 2022 each bear interest at a rate of 2.25% per year. In accordance with ASU 2020-06, the Company recorded the Convertible Notes in long-term debt with no separation between the notes and the conversion option. Each reporting period, the Company will determine whether any criteria are met for the note holders to have the option to redeem the notes early. To the extent there are any conversion requests, the Company intends to settle such conversion requests in shares of common stock. Therefore, the convertible notes have been included as Long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The issuance costs related to the Convertible Notes are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Convertible Notes. See Note 14 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item I, Part 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue

The timing of the Company’s revenue is significantly affected by the mix of system products, training, consumables and extended service contracts. The revenue generated in any given period is also impacted by whether the revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time. For an additional description on revenue, see Note 1 in the notes to consolidated financial statements on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and Note 8 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item I, Part 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods or services. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied either over time or at a point in time. Revenue from performance obligations that are transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately 7% and 12% of the Company’s total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue recognized over time relates to revenue from the Company’s extended service contracts and marketing services. Revenue recognized upon delivery is primarily generated by the sales of systems, consumables and skincare.

The Company’s total net revenue increased by $5.4 million, or 9%, and $19.4 million, or 12% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. These increases were primarily driven by strength in Systems and Consumables revenue, partially offset by declines in Skincare and Services revenue.

Revenue by Geography

The Company’s North America revenue increased by $6.5 million, or 25%, and $18.6 million, or 24%, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by strength in Systems and Consumables revenue.

Revenue in Japan decreased by $4.1 million, or 21%, and $5.4 million, or 10% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, due to a decrease in Skincare revenue.

The Company’s Rest of World revenue increased by $2.9 million, or 26%, and $6.2 million, or 17% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. The increase was mostly driven by strong System sales across all regions.

35

Revenue by Product Type

Systems Revenue

Systems revenue in North America increased by $4.7 million, or 23%, and $15.9 million, or 28%, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, mainly due to continuous recovery from the business disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

System revenue in the Rest of the World (including Japan) increased by $4.1 million or 36%, and $9.1 million or 24% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily due to increased sales in the Company’s businesses in Asia.

Consumables Revenue

Consumables revenue increased by $2.4 million, or 66%, and $4.3 million, or 39%, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. The increase in consumables revenue was primarily due to the increasing installed base of truSculpt iD, Secret RF, Secret PRO and truSculpt flex, each of which have a consumable element and the AviClear sales.

Skincare Revenue

The Company’s revenue from Skincare products in Japan decreased by $5.4 million, or 36%, and $8.2 million, or 21%, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. These decreases include primarily a $2.3 and $4.9 million adverse impact from the weakening Japanese Yen. Additionally, the decrease is impacted by higher comparative revenue due to an announced price increase in September 2021. The Company will continue to be exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and Japanese Yen, as the Company's skincare revenue is denominated in Japanese Yen.

Service Revenue

The Company’s Service revenue decreased by $0.4 million, or 6%, and $1.7 million, or 9%, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. This decrease was due primarily to decreased sales of service contracts, and support and maintenance services.

36

Sales and marketing expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $7.3 million and $25.8 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. These increases reflected headcount growth related to the launch of AviClear. Also contributing to the increase in sales and marketing expenses were marketing costs related to new business, trade shows and other promotions, and a resumption in travel activities.

R&D expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, clinical research, regulatory and material costs. R&D expenses increased by $0.6 million and $5.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. These increases were due primarily to higher personnel expenses driven by an increase in headcount and increase in outside services.

G&A expenses increased by $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was due primarily to $1.4 million of enterprise resource planning (ERP) system implementation expense.

G&A expenses increased by $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was due primarily to $2.5 million higher personnel expenses driven by an increase in headcount and $7.7 million of enterprise resource planning (ERP) system implementation expense.

Interest and other (expense) income, net, increased $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, due to interest expense related to the 2028 Notes issued in May 2022. Interest and other (expense) income, net, decreased from income of $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, to expense of $41.0 million, for the same period in 2022, due to the loss on extinguishment of the 2026 Notes.

37

The loss on extinguishment of convertible notes resulted from the extinguishment of $69.1 million of the $138.3 million principal balance of the convertible notes issued in 2021 and represents the difference between the proceeds paid and the carrying amount of the convertible notes (refer to Note 14 – Debt, for a table presenting the calculation of this loss).

The Company's income tax expense was $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $0.5 million and $0.8 million for the same periods in 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s principal source of liquidity in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was cash generated from net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes in March 2021 and May 2022. The Company actively manages its cash usage to ensure the maintenance of sufficient funds to meet its daily needs. The majority of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and investments are held in U.S. banks. The Company's foreign subsidiaries maintain a limited amount of cash in their local banks to cover short-term operating expenses.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $268.1 million and $175.8 million of working capital, respectively. Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable investments increased by $86.7 million to $251.5 million as of September 30, 2022 from $164.9 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily driven by the issuance of the 2028 Notes in May 2022.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $50.0 million, which reflected net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, of $20.1 million, and changes in assets and liabilities of $30.0 million. The increase in current assets mainly reflects an increase in inventories and AviClear related deposits with vendors.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

38

Net cash used in investing activities was $219.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which was attributable to the purchase of marketable investments of $252.3 million, and property and equipment of $14.1 million, partially offset by maturities of marketable investments of $47.0 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $151.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which was primarily due to $240.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of the 2028 Notes, partially offset by $45.8 million used for the extinguishment of a portion of the 2026 Notes, $31.7 million for the purchase of additional capped calls as well as $7.6 of issuance costs related to the 2028 Notes.

Adequacy of Cash Resources to Meet Future Needs

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $45.9 million and marketable investments of $204.9 million as of September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s principal source of liquidity was cash generated from proceeds received from the issuance of the Convertible Notes in March 2021 and May 2022. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the issuance to fund growth initiatives and market development activities and to provide for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, clinical trials, other corporate expenses and acquisitions of complementary products, technologies, or businesses.

The Company believes that the existing cash and cash equivalents and the cash available under the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months from the date the financial statements are issued, but there can be no assurances.

Debt

In May 2022, the Company issued $240.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes. A total of $230.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes was issued in a private placement offering and concurrently with this private placement, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Voce Capital Management LLC, an entity affiliated with J. Daniel Plants, the Company’s Executive Chairperson, pursuant to which the Company issued to Voce $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes on the same terms and conditions. The aggregate proceeds from the offering of 2028 Notes were approximately $232.4 million, net of issuance costs, including initial purchaser fees.

In March 2021, the Company issued $138.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes in a private placement offering. The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.25% per year payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. Upon conversion, the 2026 Notes will be convertible into either cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The convertible notes are presented as convertible notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The aggregate proceeds from the offering were approximately $133.6 million, net of issuance costs, including initial purchasers fees..

On July 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank for a four-year secured revolving loan facility (“SVB Revolving Line of Credit”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million. See Note 14 – Debt in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements for more information.

The Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank contains customary affirmative covenants, such as financial statement reporting requirements and delivery of borrowing base certificates, as well as customary covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, sell certain assets, guarantee obligations of third parties, declare dividends, or make certain distributions, and undergo a merger or consolidation or certain other transactions. The Loan and Security Agreement also contains certain financial condition covenants.

On March 4, 2021, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended to (i) permit the Company to issue the 2026 Notes, and (ii) to permit the related capped call transactions.

On May 27, 2021, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended. The amendment removed the quarterly minimum revenue requirement but kept in place the other financial covenants.

On May 24, 2022, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended. The amendment amended the Loan and Security Agreement to permit the issuance of the 2028 Notes, the capped call transactions related to the 2028 Notes and the 2026 Notes Exchange.

39

On August 10, 2022, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended. The amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement waived a violation of a covenant and revised the Loan Agreement to permit the issuance of the 2028 Notes.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had not drawn on the SVB Revolving Line of Credit and the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants of the SVB Revolving Line of Credit.

Commitments and Contingencies

As of the date of this report, there were no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments outside the ordinary course of business since March 1, 2022, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on 2021 Form 10-K.

40

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

A summary of the key market risks facing the Company is disclosed below. For a detailed discussion, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022 and other announcements the Company makes from time to time.

The conditional conversion feature of the Company's convertible notes, if triggered, may adversely affect the Company's financial condition and operating results.

The Company has 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes” and, together with the 2026 Notes, the “Convertible Notes”) outstanding. During any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2021, in the case of the 2026 Notes, and September 30, 2022, in the case of the 2028 Notes (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of conversion price for the applicable series of Convertible Notes on each applicable trading day then holders may convert their notes in the subsequent quarter. This condition was met for the 2026 Notes during the second quarter of 2022 and therefore as of September 30, 2022, the 2026 Notes are convertible. Upon any conversion requests of the Convertible Notes, the Company would be required to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election with respect to such conversion requests.

Interest Rate and Market Risk

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had not drawn on the Original Revolving Line of Credit, as amended. Overall interest rate sensitivity is primarily influenced by any amount borrowed on the line of credit and the prevailing interest rate on the line of credit facility. The effective interest rate on the line of credit facility is based on a floating per annum rate equal to the Prime rate. The Prime rate was 6.25% as of September 30, 2022, and accordingly the Company may incur additional expenses if the Company has an outstanding balance on the line of credit and the Prime rate increases in future periods.

Inflation

The Company experienced inflationary pressure on its business, but the impact was mitigated through ongoing cost improvement initiatives. If the Company’s costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, the Company may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. The Company’s inability or failure to do so could harm the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Foreign Exchange Fluctuations

The Company generates revenue in Japanese Yen, Euros, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds, and Swiss Francs. Additionally, a portion of the Company’s operating expenses, and assets and liabilities are denominated in each of these currencies. Therefore, fluctuations in these currencies against the U.S. dollar could materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations upon translation of the Company’s revenue denominated in these currencies, as well as the re-measurement of the Company’s international subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars.

In 2022, the Company has experienced an adverse impact on revenues and gross margin from the weakening Japanese Yen. The Company will continue to be exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and Japanese Yen, as the Company's skincare revenue is denominated in Japanese Yen. In July 2022, the Company implemented a hedging program to mitigate this exposure to the Japanese Yen fluctuation against the U.S. Dollar.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports 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 the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

41

Management identified a material weakness in the year ended December 31, 2021, over the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness is related to ineffective information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) in the areas of user access and segregation of duties related to certain information technology (“IT”) systems that support the Company’s financial reporting process at its Japan subsidiary. Although this material weakness did not result in any material misstatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the periods presented, it could lead to a material misstatement of account balances or disclosures. Accordingly, management concluded that this deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2022, at the reasonable assurance level, as a result of the material weakness in internal controls, which was disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Notwithstanding this material weakness, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, has concluded that the consolidated financial statements, included in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in the Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, fairly present, in all material respects, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash-flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Remediation Plans

The Company has implemented internal control measures to remediate the identified material weakness. The Company's efforts include reviewing user access to IT systems that support financial reporting and implementing additional controls designed to detect potential material misstatements that may arise as a result of user access and segregation of duties conflicts at the Company's Japan subsidiary. The actions the Company is taking are subject to ongoing executive management review and are also subject to audit committee oversight. The Company will not be able to fully remediate this material weakness until these steps have been completed and have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. If the Company is unable to successfully remediate this material weakness, or if in the future, the Company identifies further material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, the Company may not detect errors on a timely basis, and its condensed financial statements may be materially misstated.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In January 2022, the Company completed the implementation of a new ERP system. Accordingly, the Company modified the design and operation of certain internal control processes and procedures relating to this new ERP system. Other than these ERP system implementation changes, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Accordingly, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the Company’s disclosure control system are met.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. For a description of the Company’s material pending legal and regulatory proceedings and settlements, see Note 11 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements entitled “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

42

There are no material changes from the Risk Factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022 (the “Annual Report”), other than the noted below and all references to the “notes” in the Risk Factors in the Annual Report should be read to include both the Company’s 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 and 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028.

The Company’s distribution agreement with ZO requires certain economic requirements to be met by the Company. If the Company does not meet these minimum requirements, the Company could lose the distribution rights to the skincare products.

The Company has an exclusive agreement with ZO to distribute ZO’s proprietary skincare products in Japan. There are certain economic requirements in the agreement that are unlikely to be met for the 2022 year because of global economic factors, such as the unprecedented decline in the value of the Japanese Yen compared to the US Dollar over the course of 2022. If the Company does not meet the minimum requirements included in the distribution agreement for 2022, ZO has the option to terminate the distribution agreement notwithstanding certain conditions. If ZO terminates the Company’s distribution rights, or forces the Company to amend the terms of its distribution agreement, this would adversely affect the Company’s future revenue, results of operations, cash flows and its stock price.

If we cannot obtain and maintain Medical Device Regulation approvals, we will not be able to sell our products in the European Union.

Some of the Company’s products are regulated in the European Union (“EU”) as medical devices per the Medical Device Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2017/745) (“MDR”). The Company's CE marks on systems sold in the EU are set to expire in April 2023 and a new MDR designation is required starting in June 2023. In general, the Company intends to obtain MDR approvals for its principal products sold in the EU ahead of expiration dates. However, for various reasons, certain products may not be fully compliant at the time of CE mark expiration. The implementation of MDR by Member States remains uncertain, with some voicing that Notified Bodies need more time to process all files and calling for action to slow the potential removal of medical devices from the EU market due the expiration of their old certificates. Additionally, the Company is subject to local rules and regulations implemented by each EU Member State where it conducts business, which can increase the burden of compliance and expose the Company to greater liabilities. If the Company is not successful in obtaining a new MDR designation prior to the expiration of its CE marks in accordance with MDR and local rules and regulations, the Company may be required to remove applicable medical devices from the EU market until they are certified under the MDR, which would adversely impact the Company’s revenue and results of operation in Europe.

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

In March 2021, the Company issued $138.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a private placement offering on March 5, 2021. The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.25% per year. The aggregate proceeds from the offerings of 2028 Notes were approximately $133.6 million, net of issuance costs, including initial purchaser fees. In connection with the issuance of the 2026 Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain option counterparties. These capped call transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution of the Company's common stock upon any conversion of the 2026 Notes. These capped calls were purchased for $16.1 million.

In May 2022, the Company issued $240.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) $230 million of aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes was issued and, together with the 2026 Notes, the “Convertible Notes”), in a private placement offering, and concurrently with this private placement, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Voce Capital Management LLC, an entity affiliated with J. Daniel Plants, the Company’s Executive Chairperson, pursuant to which the Company issued an additional $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes on the same terms and conditions. The aggregate proceeds from the offerings of 2028 Notes were approximately $232.4 million, net of issuance costs, including initial purchaser fees. In connection with the issuance of the 2028 Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain option counterparties. These capped call transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution of the Company's common stock upon any conversion of the 2028 Notes. These capped calls were purchased for $32.0 million, including issuance costs. The Company also used $45.8 million in cash (excluding $0.3 million in cash for the payment of accrued interest) of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2028 Notes for the 2026 Notes Exchange.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Description of Operations and Principles of Consolidation

Cutera, Inc. (“Cutera” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of aesthetic and dermatology solutions for practitioners worldwide. The Company develops, manufactures, distributes, and markets energy-based product platforms for use by medical practitioners, enabling them to offer safe and effective treatments to their customers. The Company currently markets the following system platforms: enlighten, excel, Secret PRO, Secret RF, truSculpt and xeo. Several of the Company’s systems offer multiple hand pieces and applications, providing customers the flexibility to upgrade their systems. The sales of (i) systems, system upgrades, and hand pieces (collectively “Systems” revenue); (ii) replacement hand pieces, Titan, truSculpt 3D, truSculpt iD and truSculpt flex cycle refills, and single use disposable tips applicable to Secret PRO and Secret RF, as well as AviClear (“Consumables” revenue); and (iii) the distribution of third party manufactured skincare products (“Skincare” revenue); are collectively classified as “Products” revenue. In addition to Product revenue, the Company generates revenue from the sale of post-warranty service contracts, parts, detachable hand piece replacements (except for Titan, truSculpt 3D, truSculpt iD and truSculpt flex) and service labor for the repair and maintenance of products that are out of warranty, all of which are collectively classified as “Service” revenue.

In March 2022, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the AviClear acne treatment device ("AviClear"). AviClear is a laser treatment that offers a safe, prescription-free solution for acne. AviClear is currently available in a limited commercial capacity in the U.S. and the Company expects a full commercial launch by the end of the current calendar year.

The Company’s corporate headquarters and U.S. operations are located in Brisbane, California, where the Company conducts manufacturing, warehousing, research and development, regulatory, sales and marketing, service, and administrative activities. The Company markets, sells and services its products through its sales and service employees in North America (including Canada), Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Sales and services outside of these direct markets are made through a worldwide distributor network in over 42 countries. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of its condensed consolidated statements of financial position as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and its condensed consolidated statements of results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021. The December 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year or any other interim period. Presentation of certain prior year balances have been updated to conform with the current year presentation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s previously filed audited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2022.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company's future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company's future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, continued acceptance of the Company's products, stability of global financial markets, cybersecurity breaches and other disruptions that could compromise the Company’s information or results, business disruptions that are caused by natural disasters or pandemic events, management of international activities, competition from substitute products and larger companies, ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals, government regulations and oversight, patent and other types of litigation, product liability matters, ability to protect proprietary technology from counterfeit versions of the Company's products, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals.

The COVID-19 outbreak and related variants have negatively affected the United States and global economies. The Company cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any impacts in future periods from business shutdowns or

disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the impact on economic activity including the possibility of recession or financial market instability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, revenue, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

In addition, the world is currently experiencing widespread inflation. Household budgets could become tight with cash being conserved and spent on essential items like housing, gas, food, clothing and healthcare. Given the inflationary environment, fewer funds may be spent on aesthetic treatments, which may translate into less demand for the Company's products and less revenue as a result.

The Company continues to assess whether any impairment of its goodwill or its long-lived assets has occurred and has determined that no charges were necessary during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company will continue to monitor future conditions important to its assessment of potential impairment of its long-lived assets and goodwill.

In 2021, the Company experienced a significant increase in sales of skincare products under the exclusive distribution agreement with ZO Skin Health, Inc. (“ZO”), which allows the Company to sell ZO’s skincare products in Japan. The Company relies on ZO as the sole supplier for skincare products. The reason for the increase in skincare products sales may have been the result of the COVID-19 pandemic changing customers’ spending habits, resulting in customers purchasing aesthetic treatments that were able to be applied at home, due to limitations on in-person aesthetic procedures. Future growth in sales of skincare products depends on customers maintaining spending habits adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic. If customers revert to original spending habits after the COVID-19 pandemic, such changes may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenue, operating results, and cash flows.

Accounting Policies

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim financial statements. While these statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, amounts presented within the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements refer to the Company’s continuing operations.

Derivatives

Derivatives are recognized at fair value and reported on a gross basis. The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on transactions denominated in nonfunctional currencies, thereby limiting the Company's risk that would otherwise result from changes in exchange rates. Forward currency exchange contracts are recorded at their fair value each period.

Leases

The Company incurs costs to fulfill its lease agreement obligations with its AviClear device lessees. These costs consist of freight, installation, and training. In addition to these mobilization costs, the Company incurs commission costs associated with the placement of the AviClear device. The Company capitalizes commission costs and has made a policy election to capitalize the mobilization costs.

In the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company capitalized $0.7 million of mobilization costs and $1.3 million of deferred commission costs. These costs are recorded in Other long-term assets in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized over the expected lease term.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to warranty obligations, sales commissions, allowance for credit losses, sales allowances, fair value of investments, valuation of inventories, fair value of goodwill, useful lives of property and equipment, impairment testing for long-lived-assets, implicit and incremental borrowing rates related to

the Company’s leases, variables used in calculating the fair value of the Company's equity awards, expected achievement of performance based vesting criteria and management performance bonuses, assumptions used in operating and sales-type lease classifications, the standalone selling price of the Company's products and services, the period of benefit used to capitalize and amortize contract acquisition costs, variable considerations, contingent liabilities, recoverability of deferred tax assets, residual value of leased equipment, lease term and effective income tax rates. Management bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-6, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Topic 470) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815), to simplify the accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the beneficial conversion and cash conversion separation models for convertible instruments. Under the amendment, the embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. The update also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the computation of diluted earnings per share. The Company early adopted the guidance on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2021. See Note 14 – Debt.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Investments

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Investments

The Company invests its cash primarily in money market funds and in highly liquid debt instruments of U.S. federal and municipal governments and their agencies. All highly liquid investments with stated maturities of three months or less from date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents and all highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months are classified as marketable investments. The majority of the Company’s cash and investments are held in U.S. banks and U.S. Treasuries. The Company's foreign subsidiaries maintain a limited amount of cash in their local banks to cover their short term operating expenses.

The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company’s marketable securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale securities. Investments with remaining maturities of more than one year are viewed by the Company as available to support current operations and are classified as current assets under the caption marketable investments in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Investments in available-for-sale debt securities are measured at fair value under the guidance in ASC 320. Credit losses on impaired available-for-sale debt securities are recognized through an allowance for credit losses. Under ASC 326, credit losses recognized on an available-for-sale debt security should not reduce the net carrying amount of the available-for-sale debt security below its fair value. Any changes in fair value unrelated to credit are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in other comprehensive income.

The following table summarizes the Company's cash and cash equivalents and marketable investments (in thousands):

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, net unrealized losses were $0.3 million and nil, respectively, and were related to interest rate changes on available-for-sale marketable investments. The Company has concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that the securities will be held until maturity or the recovery of their cost basis. No securities were in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. The restricted cash balance relates to an outstanding letter of credit for $0.7 million provided to a supplier.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value, including cash and cash equivalents.

The fair value hierarchy contains the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, in accordance with ASC 820:

•Level 1 inputs, which include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 inputs, which include observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. When sufficient quoted pricing for identical securities is not available, the Company uses market pricing and other observable market inputs for similar securities obtained from various third-party data providers. These inputs either represent quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or have been derived from observable market data; and

•Level 3 inputs, which include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considering counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

As of September 30, 2022, financial assets measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis and classified under the appropriate level of the fair value hierarchy as described above were as follows (in thousands):

September 30, 2022	Level 1		Level 2

Marketable investments:
Available-for-sale securities	204,946		—
Derivative assets:

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

The Company uses foreign currency exchange forward contracts to manage the impact of currency exchange fluctuations on earnings and cash flow. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The Company is exposed to potential credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on its outstanding derivative instruments but the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of its counterparties. Should a counterparty default, the Company's maximum loss exposure would be the potential asset balance of the instrument.

The cash flow effect of the derivative instruments settlement is recorded in cash flow from operations.

Deferred Revenue

The Company records deferred revenue when revenue is to be recognized subsequent to invoicing. For extended service contracts, the Company generally invoices customers at the beginning of the extended service contract term. The Company’s extended service contracts typically have one to three-year terms. Deferred revenue also includes payments for training. Approximately 85% of the Company’s deferred revenue balance of $12.4 million as of September 30, 2022 will be recognized over the next 12 months.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue

Revenue

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods or services. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied either over time or at a point in time. Revenue from performance obligations that are transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately 8% and 7% of the Company's total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 12% for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company has certain system sale arrangements that contain multiple products and services. For these bundled sale arrangements, the Company accounts for individual products and services as separate performance obligations if they are distinct. The Company’s products and services are distinct if a customer can benefit from the product or service on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and if the Company’s promise to transfer the products or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the sale arrangements. The Company’s system sale arrangements can include all or a combination of the following performance obligations: the system and software license (considered one performance obligation), system accessories (hand pieces), training, other accessories, extended service contracts, marketing services, and time and materials services.

For the Company’s system sale arrangements that include an extended service contract, the period of service commences at the expiration of the Company’s standard warranty offered at the time of the system sale. The Company considers the extended service contracts terms in the arrangements that are legally enforceable to be performance obligations. Other than extended service contracts and marketing services, which are satisfied over time, the Company generally satisfies all performance obligations at a point in time. Systems, system accessories (hand pieces), service contracts, training, and time and materials services are also sold on a stand-alone basis. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price of the contract to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis.

Nature of Products and Services

Systems

Systems revenue is generated from the sale of systems and from the sale of upgrades to existing systems. A system consists of a console that incorporates a universal graphic user interface, a laser or other energy-based module, control system software and high voltage electronics, as well as one or more hand pieces. In certain applications, the laser or other energy-based module is contained in the hand piece rather than within the console.

The Company offers customers the ability to select the system that best fits their practice at the time of purchase and then to cost-effectively add applications to their system as their practice grows.

The system or upgrade and the right to use the embedded software represent a single performance obligation as the software license is integral to the functionality of the system or upgrade.

For systems sold directly to end-customers that are credit approved, revenue is recognized when the Company transfers control to the end-customer, which occurs when the product is shipped to the customer or when the customer receives the product, depending on the nature of the arrangement. When collectability is not established in advance of receipt of payment from the customer, revenue is recognized upon the later of the receipt of payment or the satisfaction of the performance obligation. For systems sold through credit approved distributors, revenue is recognized at the time of shipment to the distributor.

The Company typically receives payment for its system consoles and other accessories within 30 days of shipment. Certain international distributor arrangements allow for longer payment terms.

Skincare products

The Company sells third-party manufactured skincare products in Japan. The skincare products are purchased from a third-party manufacturer and sold to medical offices and licensed physicians. The Company warrants that the skincare products are free of significant defects in workmanship and materials for 90 days from shipment. The Company acts as the principal in this arrangement, as the Company determines the price to charge customers for the skincare products and controls the products before they are transferred to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue for skincare products at a point in time upon shipment.

Consumables and other accessories

The Company classifies its customers' purchases of replacement cycles for truSculpt iD and truSculpt flex, as well as replacement hand pieces, xeo and truSculpt 3D hand pieces, and single use disposable tips applicable to Secret PRO, and Secret RF as Consumable revenue. The Secret PRO and Secret RF products' single use disposable tips must be replaced after every treatment. The Company’s systems offer multiple hand pieces and applications, which allow customers to upgrade their systems.

Extended service contract

The Company offers post-warranty services to its customers through extended service contracts that cover parts and labor for a term of one to three years. Service contract revenue is recognized over time, using a time-based measure of progress, as customers benefit from the service throughout the service period. The Company also offers services on a time-and-materials basis for systems and detachable hand piece replacements. Revenue related to services performed on a time-and-materials basis is recognized when performed.

Training

Sales of systems to customers include training on the use of the system to be provided within 180 days of purchase. The Company considers training a separate performance obligation as customers can immediately benefit from the training together

with the customer’s system. Training is also sold separately from systems. The Company recognizes revenue for training when the training is provided.

Significant Judgments

The Company determines standalone selling price ("SSP") for each performance obligation as follows:

•Systems: The SSPs for systems are based on directly observable sales in similar circumstances to similar customers.

•Extended warranty/Service contracts: SSP is based on observable price when sold on a standalone basis to similar customers.

Loyalty Program

The Company has a customer loyalty program for qualified customers located in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Under the loyalty program, based on their purchasing levels, customers accumulate points that can be redeemed for such rewards as the right to attend the Company’s advanced training event for truSculpt, or a ticket for the Company’s annual forum. A customer’s account must be in good standing to receive the benefits of the rewards program. Rewards are earned on a quarterly basis and must be used in the following quarter. All unused rewards are forfeited. The fair value of the reward earned by loyalty program members is included in accrued liabilities and recorded as a reduction of net revenue at the time the reward is earned. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the liability for the loyalty program included in accrued liabilities was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Deferred Sales Commissions

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, which consist of commissions and related payroll taxes, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, except for costs that are recognized when product is sold. The Company uses the portfolio method to recognize the amortization expense related to these capitalized costs related to initial contracts and such expense is recognized over a period associated with the revenue of the related portfolio.

Total capitalized costs as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $5.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively, and are included in Other long-term assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amortization expense for these assets was $0.6 million and $1.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.4 million and $1.4 million during three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The amortization related to these capitalized costs is included in sales and marketing expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan") provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units ("PSUs"), and other stock or cash awards.

The Company’s Board of Directors granted the Company's executive officers, senior management and certain employees 166,421 PSUs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The majority of these PSUs vest subject to the Company’s achievement of certain operational goals for the 2022 fiscal year related to product and commercial milestones. In addition, there is a service requirement related to half of the granted quantity that requires the grant recipient to provide one year of service subsequent to the milestone achievement date.

The Company’s Board of Directors also granted its executive officers and senior management 184,313 RSUs and 278,903 non-qualified stock options (“NQs”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The RSUs and NQs vest over four years with one-fourth vesting on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date of January 1, 2022 and 1/36th of the remaining underlying shares vest each month thereafter.

Net (Loss) Income Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net (Loss) Income Per Share

Net (Loss) Income Per Share

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted the accounting standard update to simplify the accounting for convertible debt instruments. The Company now uses the if-converted method for its Convertible Notes in calculating the diluted net income (loss) per share, and includes the effect of potential share settlement for the convertible notes, if the effect is dilutive.

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and the if-converted method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units, ESPP shares and conversion shares under the convertible notes. The diluted EPS is computed with the assumption that the Company will settle the convertible debt in shares, rather than cash.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s Convertible Notes were initially convertible into 6,640,256 shares of common stock.

The denominator for diluted net income (loss) per share does not include any effect from the capped call transactions the Company entered into concurrently with the issuances of convertible notes, as this effect would be anti-dilutive. In the event of conversion of a convertible note, shares delivered to the Company under the capped call will offset the dilutive effect of the shares that the Company would issue under the convertible notes. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the if-converted method was not applied as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, a basic loss per common share and diluted loss per common share are the same in each period as the inclusion of any potentially issuable shares would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) and the weighted average number of shares used in computing basic and diluted net (loss) income per share (in thousands, except per share data):

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

LeasesThe Company is a party to certain operating and finance leases for vehicles, office space and storage facilities. The Company’s operating leases consist of office space, as well as storage facilities and finance leases consist of automobiles. The Company’s leases generally have remaining terms of one to 10 years, some of which include options to renew the leases for up to five years. The Company leases space for operations in the United States, Australia, Belgium, France, Japan and Spain. In addition

to the above facility leases, the Company also routinely leases automobiles for certain sales and field service employees under finance leases.

The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, the Company estimates the incremental secured borrowing rates corresponding to the maturities of the leases. The Company based the rate estimates on prevailing financial market conditions, credit analysis, and management judgment.

The Company recognizes expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, tenant incentives used to fund leasehold improvements are recognized when earned and reduce the Company’s right-of-use (“ROU”) asset related to the lease. These are amortized through the ROU asset as reductions of expense over the lease term.

Contingencies

The Company is named from time to time as a party to other legal proceedings, product liability, commercial disputes, employee disputes, and contractual lawsuits in the normal course of business. A liability and related charge are recorded to earnings in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for legal contingencies when the loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The assessment is re-evaluated each accounting period and is based on all available information, including discussion with outside legal counsel. If a reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss cannot be made, but a range of probable losses can be estimated, the low-end of the range of losses is recognized if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other. If a material loss is reasonably possible, but not probable and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred.

On January 31, 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit against Lutronic Aesthetics in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Lutronic employs numerous former Company employees. The complaint against Lutronic generally alleges claims for (1) misappropriation of trade secrets in violation of state and federal law; (2) violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO); (3) interference with contractual relations; (4) interference with prospective economic advantage; (5) unfair competition; and (6) aiding and abetting. On March 13, 2020, the court entered a temporary restraining order against Lutronic generally prohibiting it from using or disseminating the Company's confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information. The order also prohibits Lutronic, for two years, from using such information for the purpose of soliciting, or conducting business with, certain specified customers. At the parties’ request, the Court subsequently entered a preliminary injunction providing for the same restrictions in the restraining order. The Company will soon file a second amended complaint against Lutronic Aesthetics. In addition to the above-referenced claims against it, the amended complaint will allege the following additional claims: (1) violation of the Lanham Act; (2) unlawful business practices; (3) false advertising; and (4) trademark infringement. The Company also seeks to amend the complaint to add Lutronic Corporation (the Korean parent company of Lutronic Aesthetics) as an additional defendant, and allege against it the above-described claims for misappropriation of trade secrets, violation of RICO, interference with contractual relations and prospective economic advantage, unfair competition, and aiding and abetting. Discovery is ongoing and no trial date has been scheduled.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had accrued $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to various pending commercial and product liability lawsuits. The Company does not believe that a material loss in excess of accrued amounts is reasonably likely.

Issuance of convertible notes due in 2026

In March 2021, the Company issued $138.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes in a private placement offering. The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.25% per year payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. Upon conversion, the 2026 Notes will be convertible into either cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The Convertible notes are presented as Convertible notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The aggregate proceeds from the offering were approximately $133.6 million, net of issuance costs, including initial purchasers fees.

Each $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes is initially convertible into 30.1427 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $33.18 per share. The conversion rate for the 2026 Notes is subject to adjustment for certain events as set forth in the indenture governing the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased in accordance with the terms of the 2026 Notes.

Issuance of convertible notes due in 2028

In May 2022, the Company issued $240.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes. A total of $230.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes was issued in a private placement offering and concurrently with this private placement, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Voce Capital Management LLC ("Voce"), an entity affiliated with J. Daniel Plants, the Company’s Executive Chairperson, pursuant to which the Company issued to Voce $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes on the same terms and conditions. The aggregate proceeds from the offering of 2028 Notes were approximately $232.4 million, net of issuance costs, including initial purchaser fees.

The 2028 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.25% per year payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2022. Upon conversion, the 2028 Notes will be convertible into either cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. Each $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Notes is initially convertible into 18.9860 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $52.67 per share. The conversion rate for the 2028 Notes is subject to adjustment for certain events as set forth in the indenture governing the 2028 Notes. The 2028 Notes are presented as Convertible notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

2026 Notes exchange

In May 2022, the Company entered into privately-negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of the Company’s outstanding 2026 Notes with respect to the exchange of $45.8 million in cash (excluding $0.3 million in cash for the payment of accrued interest) and 1,354,348 shares of common stock for $69.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 2026 Notes (the “2026 Notes Exchange”). Immediately following the closing of the 2026 Notes Exchange, approximately $69.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes remained outstanding.

The 2026 Notes Exchange was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. The Company recorded the difference between the proceeds paid and the carrying amount of the debt as an extinguishment loss, with a corresponding entry to common stock and Additional-paid-in capital for the issuance of the shares at the then-trading price of $41.31 per share. The table below presents

Conversion and other features

2026 Notes:

Holders may convert their 2026 Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2025, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances:

•During any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the 2026 Notes on each applicable trading day;

•During the five-business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

•The Company calls such 2026 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

•Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

On or after December 15, 2025, and until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2026 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

The circumstances described in the first bullet of the paragraph above were met during the third quarter of 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the 2026 Notes are convertible. Upon any conversion requests of the 2026 Notes, the Company would be required to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election with respect to such conversion requests. To the extent there are any conversion requests during the twelve months ending September 30, 2023, the Company intends to settle such conversion requests in shares of common stock. Therefore, as of September 30, 2022, the 2026 Notes have been included as Long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company may not redeem the 2026 Notes prior to March 20, 2024. On or after March 20, 2024, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2026 Notes, at the Company’s option, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding 2026 Notes, at least $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date.

If a specified corporate event occurs, 2026 Note holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase any portion or all of their 2026 Notes in $1,000 principal increments for cash. The price for such repurchase is calculated as 100% of the principal amounts of 2026 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change repurchase date. Additionally, holders of the 2026 Notes who convert in connection with a fundamental change are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in conversion rate.

The 2026 Notes are general senior unsecured obligations that rank senior to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is explicitly subordinated to the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes have equal rank in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not subordinated to the 2026 Notes (including the 2028 Notes). The 2026 Notes will be junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 2026 Notes do not contain any financial or operating covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the issuance of other indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company.

The estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes was approximately $186.2 million as of September 30, 2022, which the Company determined through consideration of market prices. The fair value measurement is classified as Level 2, as defined in Note 3.

2028 Notes:

Holders may convert their 2028 Notes at their option, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances:

•During any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2022 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the 2028 Notes on each applicable trading day;

•During the five-business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

•The Company calls such 2028 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

•Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

On or after March 1, 2028, and until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2028 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

The 2028 Notes may become convertible in future periods. Upon any conversion requests of the 2028 Notes, the Company would be required to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election with respect to such conversion requests. To the extent there are any conversion requests during the twelve months ending September 30, 2023, the Company intends to settle such conversion requests in shares of common stock. Therefore, as of September 30, 2022, the 2028 Notes have been included as long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company may not redeem the 2028 Notes prior to June 5, 2025. On or after June 5, 2025, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2028 Notes, at the Company’s option, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding 2028 Notes, at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date.

If a specified corporate event occurs, note holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase any portion or all of their 2028 Notes in $1,000 principal increments for cash. The price for such repurchase is calculated as 100% of the principal amounts of 2028 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change repurchase date. Additionally, holders of the 2028 Notes who convert in connection with a fundamental change are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in conversion rate.

The 2028 Notes are general senior unsecured obligations that rank senior to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is explicitly subordinated to the 2028 Notes. The 2028 Notes have equal rank in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not subordinated to the 2028 Notes (including the 2026 Notes). The 2028 Notes will be junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 2028 Notes do not contain any financial or operating covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the issuance of other indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company.

The estimated fair value of the 2028 Notes was approximately $246.0 million as of September 30, 2022, which the Company determined through consideration of market prices. The fair value measurement is classified as Level 2, as defined in Note 3.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the issuance of each series of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain option counterparties. The capped call transactions are generally intended to reduce the potential dilution of the Company's common stock upon any conversion or settlement of the applicable series of Convertible Notes or to offset any cash payment the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount upon conversion of the applicable series of Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. If the market price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the cap price of the applicable capped call transactions, then the Company’s stock would experience some dilution and/or such capped call transactions would not fully offset the potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent the then-market price per share of its common stock exceeds the applicable cap price.

In connection with the offering of the 2026 Notes, the Company purchased from the option counterparties capped call options that in the aggregate relate to the total number of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the convertible notes, with a strike price equal to the conversion price of the convertible notes and with an initial cap price equal to $45.535, which represented a 75% premium over the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock of $26.02 per share on March 4, 2021, with certain adjustments to the settlement terms that reflect standard anti-dilution provisions. The capped call transactions expire over 40 consecutive scheduled trading days ended on March 12, 2026. The capped calls were purchased for $16.1 million.

In connection with the offering of the 2028 Notes, the Company purchased from the option counterparties capped call options that in the aggregate related to the total number of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the 2028 Notes sold to the initial purchasers in the offering of 2028 Notes, with a strike price equal to the conversion price of the 2028 Notes and with an initial cap price equal to $82.62, which represents a 100% premium over the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock of $41.31 per share on May 24, 2022, with certain adjustments to the settlement terms that reflect standard anti-dilution provisions. These capped call transactions expire over 40 consecutive scheduled trading days ended on May 30, 2028. The capped calls were purchased for $32.0 million, net of issuance costs.

The Company evaluated the capped call transactions under authoritative accounting guidance and determined that they should be accounted for as a separate transaction and classified as a net reduction to Additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity with no recurring fair value measurement recorded.

The Company early adopted ASU 2020-6, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) on January 1, 2021. In accordance with Subtopic 470-20 and 815-40, as revised by ASU 2020-6, the Company records the convertible notes in long-term debt with no separation between the Notes and the conversion option. Each reporting period, the Company will determine whether any criteria is met for the note holders to have the option to redeem the Notes early, which could result in a change in the classification of the Notes to current liabilities.

Debt Issuance Cost

The issuance costs related to the Convertible Notes are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Convertible Notes.

The issuance costs are amortized using an effective interest method basis over the term of the Convertible Notes and accordingly the Company recorded approximately $0.4 million and $0.9 million of amortization of debt issuance costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. As noted under “2026 Notes Exchange” above, $1.8 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the 2026 Notes was included in the loss on debt extinguishment in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The effective interest rates on the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes are 2.98% and 2.82%, respectively. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, including the amortization of debt issuance cost, totaled approximately $2.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, including the amortization of debt issuance cost, totaled approximately $1.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Loan and Security Agreement

On July 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank for a four-year secured revolving loan facility (“SVB Revolving Line of Credit”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million. The SVB Revolving Line of Credit matures on July 9, 2024.

In order to draw on the full amount of the SVB Revolving Line of Credit, the Company must satisfy certain liquidity ratios. If the Company is unable to meet these liquidity ratios, then availability under the revolving line is calculated as 80% of the Company’s qualifying accounts receivable. The proceeds of the revolving loans may be used for general corporate purposes. The Company’s obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Interest on principal amount outstanding under the revolving line shall accrue at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of either 1.75% above the Prime Rate or five percent (5.0%). The Company paid a non-refundable revolving line commitment fee of $0.3 million, on the effective date of the Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank of July 9, 2020, and the Company is required to pay an anniversary fee of $0.3 million on each twelve-month anniversary of the effective date of the Loan and Security Agreement.

The Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank contains customary affirmative covenants, such as financial statement reporting requirements and delivery of borrowing base certificates, as well as customary covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, sell certain assets, guarantee obligations of third parties, declare dividends, or make certain distributions, and undergo a merger or consolidation or certain other transactions. The Loan and Security Agreement also contains certain financial covenants, including maintaining a quarterly minimum revenue of $90.0 million, determined in accordance with GAAP on a trailing twelve-month basis, but which is only applicable if the Company has an outstanding balance under the loan facility.

On March 4, 2021, the Loan and Security Agreement dated July 9, 2020 was amended to (i) permit the Company to issue the convertible notes and perform its obligations in connection therewith, and (ii) permit the capped call transactions.

On May 27, 2021, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended. The amendment removed the quarterly minimum revenue requirement but kept in place the other financial covenants.

On May 24, 2022, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended. The amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement permitted the issuance of the 2028 Notes, the capped call transactions related to the 2028 Notes and the 2026 Notes Exchange.

On August 10, 2022, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended. The amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement waived a violation of a covenant and revised the Loan Agreement to permit the issuance of the 2028 Notes.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had not drawn on the SVB Revolving Line of Credit and the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants of the SVB Revolving Line of Credit.

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan

On April 22, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $7.2 million pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the CARES Act. The loan, which was in the form of a promissory note dated April 21, 2020, between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank as the lender, originally matured on April 21, 2022 and bore interest at a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing September 2021. There was no prepayment penalty. Under the terms of the PPP, all or a portion of the principal may have been forgiven if the loan proceeds were used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, such as payroll costs, benefits, rent, and utilities.

The PPP loan and related accrued interest were forgiven in June 2021 under the provisions of the CARES Act, and a $7.2 million gain on forgiveness was recorded as Gain on extinguishment of PPP loan in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

Segment reporting

Segment reporting is based on the “management approach,” following the method that management organizes the Company’s reportable segments for which separate financial information is made available to, and evaluated regularly by, the chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision makers ("CODM") are its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), who make decisions on allocating resources and in assessing performance. The CEO and CFO review the Company's consolidated results as one operating segment. In making operating decisions, the CODM primarily considers consolidated financial information, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by geography and product. All of the Company’s principal operations and decision-making functions are located in the U.S. The Company’s CODM view its operations, manages its business, and uses one measurement of profitability for its operating segment, which develops, manufactures, distributes, and markets energy-based product platforms for use by medical practitioners. Substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the U.S.

The following table presents a summary of revenue by geography and product category for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Description of Operations and Principles of Consolidation

Description of Operations and Principles of Consolidation

Cutera, Inc. (“Cutera” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of aesthetic and dermatology solutions for practitioners worldwide. The Company develops, manufactures, distributes, and markets energy-based product platforms for use by medical practitioners, enabling them to offer safe and effective treatments to their customers. The Company currently markets the following system platforms: enlighten, excel, Secret PRO, Secret RF, truSculpt and xeo. Several of the Company’s systems offer multiple hand pieces and applications, providing customers the flexibility to upgrade their systems. The sales of (i) systems, system upgrades, and hand pieces (collectively “Systems” revenue); (ii) replacement hand pieces, Titan, truSculpt 3D, truSculpt iD and truSculpt flex cycle refills, and single use disposable tips applicable to Secret PRO and Secret RF, as well as AviClear (“Consumables” revenue); and (iii) the distribution of third party manufactured skincare products (“Skincare” revenue); are collectively classified as “Products” revenue. In addition to Product revenue, the Company generates revenue from the sale of post-warranty service contracts, parts, detachable hand piece replacements (except for Titan, truSculpt 3D, truSculpt iD and truSculpt flex) and service labor for the repair and maintenance of products that are out of warranty, all of which are collectively classified as “Service” revenue.

In March 2022, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the AviClear acne treatment device ("AviClear"). AviClear is a laser treatment that offers a safe, prescription-free solution for acne. AviClear is currently available in a limited commercial capacity in the U.S. and the Company expects a full commercial launch by the end of the current calendar year.

The Company’s corporate headquarters and U.S. operations are located in Brisbane, California, where the Company conducts manufacturing, warehousing, research and development, regulatory, sales and marketing, service, and administrative activities. The Company markets, sells and services its products through its sales and service employees in North America (including Canada), Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Sales and services outside of these direct markets are made through a worldwide distributor network in over 42 countries. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of its condensed consolidated statements of financial position as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and its condensed consolidated statements of results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021. The December 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year or any other interim period. Presentation of certain prior year balances have been updated to conform with the current year presentation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s previously filed audited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2022.

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company's future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company's future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, continued acceptance of the Company's products, stability of global financial markets, cybersecurity breaches and other disruptions that could compromise the Company’s information or results, business disruptions that are caused by natural disasters or pandemic events, management of international activities, competition from substitute products and larger companies, ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals, government regulations and oversight, patent and other types of litigation, product liability matters, ability to protect proprietary technology from counterfeit versions of the Company's products, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals.

The COVID-19 outbreak and related variants have negatively affected the United States and global economies. The Company cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any impacts in future periods from business shutdowns or

disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the impact on economic activity including the possibility of recession or financial market instability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, revenue, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

In addition, the world is currently experiencing widespread inflation. Household budgets could become tight with cash being conserved and spent on essential items like housing, gas, food, clothing and healthcare. Given the inflationary environment, fewer funds may be spent on aesthetic treatments, which may translate into less demand for the Company's products and less revenue as a result.

The Company continues to assess whether any impairment of its goodwill or its long-lived assets has occurred and has determined that no charges were necessary during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company will continue to monitor future conditions important to its assessment of potential impairment of its long-lived assets and goodwill.

In 2021, the Company experienced a significant increase in sales of skincare products under the exclusive distribution agreement with ZO Skin Health, Inc. (“ZO”), which allows the Company to sell ZO’s skincare products in Japan. The Company relies on ZO as the sole supplier for skincare products. The reason for the increase in skincare products sales may have been the result of the COVID-19 pandemic changing customers’ spending habits, resulting in customers purchasing aesthetic treatments that were able to be applied at home, due to limitations on in-person aesthetic procedures. Future growth in sales of skincare products depends on customers maintaining spending habits adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic. If customers revert to original spending habits after the COVID-19 pandemic, such changes may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenue, operating results, and cash flows.

Accounting Policies

Accounting Policies

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim financial statements. While these statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, amounts presented within the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements refer to the Company’s continuing operations.

Derivatives

Derivatives

Derivatives are recognized at fair value and reported on a gross basis. The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on transactions denominated in nonfunctional currencies, thereby limiting the Company's risk that would otherwise result from changes in exchange rates. Forward currency exchange contracts are recorded at their fair value each period.

Leases

LeasesThe Company incurs costs to fulfill its lease agreement obligations with its AviClear device lessees. These costs consist of freight, installation, and training. In addition to these mobilization costs, the Company incurs commission costs associated with the placement of the AviClear device. The Company capitalizes commission costs and has made a policy election to capitalize the mobilization costs.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to warranty obligations, sales commissions, allowance for credit losses, sales allowances, fair value of investments, valuation of inventories, fair value of goodwill, useful lives of property and equipment, impairment testing for long-lived-assets, implicit and incremental borrowing rates related to

the Company’s leases, variables used in calculating the fair value of the Company's equity awards, expected achievement of performance based vesting criteria and management performance bonuses, assumptions used in operating and sales-type lease classifications, the standalone selling price of the Company's products and services, the period of benefit used to capitalize and amortize contract acquisition costs, variable considerations, contingent liabilities, recoverability of deferred tax assets, residual value of leased equipment, lease term and effective income tax rates. Management bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-6, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Topic 470) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815), to simplify the accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the beneficial conversion and cash conversion separation models for convertible instruments. Under the amendment, the embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. The update also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the computation of diluted earnings per share. The Company early adopted the guidance on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2021. See Note 14 – Debt.
