Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2020

The Company operates in one business segment,

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) from interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU’’) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2019, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

You should read these condensed consolidated financial statements together with the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the

Use of Estimates

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported consolidated statements of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment and intangible assets, estimates for contingent liabilities, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, estimates of fair value of share-based payments and valuation of deferred tax assets.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MiMedx Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured certificates of deposit held at various banks with an original maturity of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers for which revenue has been recognized. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or any other security to support its receivables.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing receivables. The Company determines the allowance based on factors such as historical collection experience, customers’ current creditworthiness, customer concentrations, age of accounts receivable and general economic conditions that may affect customers’ ability to pay.

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable represent formal payment agreements with customers which generally arise in situations where amounts shipped and billed have aged significantly as well as the promissory note issued by Stability Biologics, LLC (“Stability”) as part of the divestiture of Stability in 2017. The promissory note from Stability was paid in full in the three months ended September 30, 2019. The Company’s notes receivable are included in other current and long-term assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and were valued taking into consideration cost of the market participant inputs, market conditions, liquidity, operating results and other qualitative factors.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventory is tracked through raw material, work-in-process, and finished good stages as the product progresses through various production steps and stocking locations. Labor and overhead costs are absorbed through the various production processes until the work order closes. Historical yields and normal capacities are utilized in the calculation of production overhead rates. Reserves for inventory obsolescence are utilized to account for slow-moving inventory as well as inventory no longer needed due to diminished market demand.

Revenue Recognition

The Company sells its products primarily to individual customers and independent distributors (collectively referred to as “customers”). During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company’s control environment was such that it created uncertainty surrounding all of its customer arrangements, which required consideration related to the proper revenue recognition under the applicable literature. The control environment allowed for the existence of extra-contractual or undocumented terms or arrangements initiated by or agreed to by the Company and former members of Company management at the outset of the transactions (side agreements). Concessions were also agreed to subsequent to the initial sale (e.g. sales above established customer credit limits extended and unusually long payment terms, return or exchange rights, and contingent payment obligations) that called into question the ability to recognize revenue at the time that product was shipped to a customer. The applicable revenue

recognition guidance also changed beginning January 1, 2018, which further impacted the Company’s revenue recognition methodology.

As a result, the Company’s application of the applicable revenue recognition guidance varies for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Additionally, the Company changed its pattern of revenue recognition effective October 1, 2019. The application of the relevant revenue recognition guidance and the pattern of revenue recognition are further discussed below for each period presented.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

The Company follows ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) which establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

ASC 606 establishes a five-step model for revenue recognition. The first of these steps requires the identification of the contract as described in ASC 606-10-25-1. The specific criteria (the “Step 1 Criteria”) to this determination are as follows:


•	The parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally, or in accordance with other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations;


•	The entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred; and


•	The entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred.


•	The contract has commercial substance.


•	It is probable that the entity will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company concluded that the first three of the above criteria were not met upon shipment of product to the customer, the fourth criterion had been met, and the Company acknowledges that there is a degree of uncertainty as to whether the last criterion above had been met. Although the parties to the contract may have approved the contract and purchase orders in writing, the Company concluded that upon shipment of products to the customer there is not sufficient evidence that its customers were committed to perform their obligations defined in the contract due to the existence of extra-contractual or undocumented terms or arrangements (e.g., regarding payment terms, right of return, etc.).

The Company’s inability to fulfill these criteria was due to uncertainties of contractual adjustments with customers created by a combination of an inappropriate tone at the top and extra-contractual arrangements. Consequently, the Company concluded that it did not meet the Step 1 Criteria upon shipment of the product. Subsequent to the shipment of product, uncertainties surrounding contractual adjustment were not resolved until either: (1) the customer returned the product prior to payment; or (2) the Company received payment from the customer. At that point, the Company determined that an accounting contract existed and the performance obligations of the Company to deliver product and the customer to pay for the product were satisfied. The Company determined the transaction price of its contracts to equal the amount of consideration received from customers less the amount expected to be refunded or credited to customers, which is recognized as a refund liability that is updated at the end of each reporting period for changes in circumstances. The refund liability is included within accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet.

Transition and the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

The Company continued to assess contracts, new and existing, throughout 2019 to determine if the Step 1 Criteria noted above for the determination of a contract under ASC 606 were met for new contracts at the outset of a sales transaction (i.e., upon shipment of product) or for existing contracts at some point within 2019 when all the terms of the arrangement would have been known. Until the Step 1 Criteria had been met, revenue recognition continued to be deferred consistent with the assessment for the year ended December 31, 2018.

As further discussed above, the primary factors contributing to the determination in prior periods that the Step 1 Criteria had not been met were the inappropriate tone at the top and the existence of pervasive extra-contractual or undocumented terms or arrangements. These prior business practices and the lack of transparency surrounding them created a systemically implied right for customers to demand future, unknown performance by the Company. Although some of the former executives were employed by the Company only through June 2018, the Company determined that based on the impact of the prior tone at the top, the

continued internal sales force strategy and the existing customer base’s continued expectations (based on past practice), there would be flexibility with respect to arrangement terms even after delivery of the product so pervasive that all customer arrangements continued to be subject to uncertain modification of terms into 2019.

After identifying the primary factors contributing to the lack of knowledge regarding its customer contractual terms, the Company began implementing changes in mid-2018 to remediate the pervasive weaknesses in the control environment, followed by gradually implementing measures to empower its compliance, legal, and accounting departments, educating its sales force on appropriate business practices, and communicating its revised terms of sale to customers. The Company assessed its efforts throughout 2019 to determine when, if at any point, the factors contributing to the inability to satisfy the Step 1 Criteria were sufficiently addressed such that the Step 1 Criteria were met at the time of physical delivery to the customer. Determining when these conditions were effectively satisfied was a matter of judgment; however, the Company determined that adequate knowledge of the contractual arrangements with its customers did exist in 2019. Management did note that there is no single determinative change that overcame the pervasive challenges noted above, but rather an accumulation of efforts that taken together, resulted in sufficient knowledge of contractual relationships both internally within the Company and externally with its customers.

To address the tone at the top issues, the Company noted that proper remediation involved not only the removal of members of management that were setting an inappropriate tone but also the establishment of new management throughout the organization that emphasized a commitment to integrity, ethical values and transparency and have that reinforcement for a sustained period of time. The changes made to management positions throughout the organization and the resulting organization behavior changes were assessed to have been sufficiently addressed by mid-2019.

Therefore, beginning October 1, 2019, for all new customer arrangements, the Company determined adequate measures were in place to understand the terms of its contracts with customers. As such, beginning October 1, 2019, the Company concluded that the Step 1 Criteria would be met prior to shipment of product to the customer or implantation of the products on consignment.

For the remaining customer arrangements at September 30, 2019 (the “Remaining Contracts”), the Company concluded that due to the uncertainty that extracontractual arrangement may continue the Step 1 Criteria would not be satisfied until the Company receives payment from the customer. At that point, the Company determined that an accounting contract would exist and the performance obligations of the company to deliver product and the customer to pay for the product would be satisfied. As of March 31, 2020, upon reassessment, the Company concluded that the Step 1 Criteria continued to not be met due to the same circumstances described above. The amount related to these Remaining Contracts at March 31, 2020 was $4.5 million.



	Amounts Invoiced and Not Collected			Deferred Cost of Sales
Amounts as of December 31, 2019	$	9,006		$	1,261
Revenue recognized related to amounts invoiced and not collected at September 30, 2019:
Cash collected during the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to the Remaining Contracts	(4,495		)	(629		)
Amounts as of March 31, 2020	$	4,511		$	632

As a result of the reassessment as of September 30, 2019, the Company also determined that, for approximately $10.3 million of existing contracts where payment had not been received, it was not probable that substantially all consideration would be collected. For these customer contracts, the Company continued to fail the Step 1 Criteria and, therefore, no revenue was recognized in 2019. Any collections during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as well as any future collections relating to these customer contracts, will be recorded as revenue at the time payment is received.

For all customer transactions concluded to meet the Step 1 Criteria, the Company then assessed the remaining criteria of ASC 606 to determine the proper timing of revenue recognition.

Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model: (i) identify the contracts with a customer (the Step 1 Criteria); (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. As noted above, during the third quarter of 2019, the Company determined that they had met the Step 1 Criteria. The Company also determined that the performance obligation was met upon delivery of the product to the customer, or at the time the product is implanted for products on consignment, at which point the Company determined it will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the product transferred to the customer. As a result, the Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied, generally upon shipment of the product to the customer. The nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise

to certain types of variable consideration, including rebates and other discounts. The Company includes estimated amounts of variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable there will not be a significant reversal of revenue. Estimates are based on historical or anticipated performance. The Company does have consignment agreements with several customers and distributors which allow the Company to better market its products by moving them closer to the end user. In these cases, the Company determined that it has fulfilled its performance obligation once control of the product has been delivered to the customer, which occurs simultaneously with the product being implanted.

The Company acts as the principal in all of its customer arrangements and therefore records revenue on a gross basis. Shipping is considered immaterial in the context of the overall customer arrangement, and damages or loss of goods in transit are rare. Therefore, shipping is not deemed a separately recognized performance obligation. The Company maintains a returns policy that allows its customers to return product that is consigned, damaged or non-conforming, ordered in error, or due to a recall. The estimate of the provision for returns is based upon historical experience with actual returns. The Company’s payment terms for customers are typically 30 to 60 days from receipt of title of the goods.

Subsequent to the Transition, the Company continued to defer the cost of sales for certain arrangements for which all revenue recognition criteria have not been met. These amounts were recorded within other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet in the amount of $0.6 million and $1.3 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

GPO Fees

The Company sells to Group Purchasing Organization (“GPO”) members who transact directly with the Company at GPO-agreed pricing. GPOs are funded by administrative fees that are paid by the Company. These fees are set as a percentage of the purchase volume, which is typically 3% of sales made to the GPO members. The Company presents the administrative fees paid to GPOs as a reduction of revenues because the benefit received by the Company in exchange for the GPO fees is not sufficiently separable from the GPO member’s purchase of the Company’s products.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes all costs directly related to bringing the Company’s products to their final selling destination. Amounts include direct and indirect costs to manufacture products including raw materials, personnel costs and direct overhead expenses necessary to convert collected tissues into finished goods, product testing costs, quality assurance costs, facility costs associated with the Company’s manufacturing and warehouse facilities, depreciation, freight charges, costs to operate equipment and other shipping and handling costs for products shipped to customers.

Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, “Leases”. The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets and the related liabilities result from operating leases were included in Right of use asset, Other current liabilities and Other liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease term used in the calculation includes options to extend or terminate the lease when the exercise of such options are reasonably certain. The Company uses the estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. Variable components of the lease payments such as fair market value adjustments, utilities, and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and not included in determining the present value of lease liabilities. As an accounting policy election, the Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or fewer. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. See Note 6, “Leases” for further information regarding lease obligations.

Patent Costs

The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent applications for tissue-based products and processes. The Company capitalizes such costs as patents in progress until a patent is obtained. When a patent is issued, the costs are amortized over the expected life of the patent to the extent that an economic benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or alternative future use is available to the Company. If a patent is not obtained, costs are expensed. Patents are included in Intangible assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Treasury Stock

The Company accounts for the purchase of treasury stock under the cost method. Treasury stock which is reissued for the exercise of option grants and the issuance of restricted stock grants is accounted for on a FIFO basis.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted by the Company

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which amended the guidance on accounting for leases. The FASB issued this update to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. This update requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2019 using the additional (optional) approach, in accordance with ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.” Upon adoption, the Company recorded a right of use asset of $4.3 million and a right of use liability of $5.2 million. The right of use asset, in its entirety, is included in Right of use assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Right of use liabilities are included in Other current liabilities to the extent that such liabilities are expected to be settled within one year and Other liabilities to the extent that such obligations are due more than one year from the balance sheet date. The difference between the right of use asset and liability relates to rent credits which existed as of January 1, 2019. There was no effect on opening retained earnings at adoption.

In adopting the new lease standard, the Company elected the permitted package of practical expedients permitted, which allowed the Company to account for existing leases under their current classification, as well as omit any new costs classified as initial direct costs, under the new standard. See Note 6 for additional information on leases.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220),” to address certain income tax effects in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) resulting from the tax reform enacted in 2017. The amended guidance provides an option to reclassify tax effects within AOCI to retained earnings in the period in which the effect of the tax reform is recorded. The amendments were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019, which did not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition as there were no balances in AOCI that are tax effected.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-07”), which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. Under the new guidance, the measurement of equity-classified nonemployee awards will be fixed at the grant date. ASU 2018-07 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” that introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. This includes accounts receivable, trade receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The guidance also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective transition method which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings to be recognized on the date of adoption with no change to financial results reported in prior periods. The cumulative effect adjustment recorded on January 1, 2020 is not material. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

All other ASUs issued and not yet effective for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and through the date of this report, were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
