Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Any changes in these estimates will be reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the determination of the credit loss reserves for trade receivables, inventory obsolescence, impairment of long-lived assets, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, contingent earn-out liability, interest rate swap valuation, income taxes and stock-based compensation. On January 1, 2024, the Company revised the inputs used in estimating the reserve on obsolete and slow-moving inventory to include forecasted sales, in addition to current inventory levels and historical sales. The effect of this change in estimate was a decrease of $662 to the Company’s reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventory during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries may have a functional currency (i.e., the currency in which operational activities are primarily conducted) that is other than the U.S. dollar, generally the currency of the country in which such subsidiaries are domiciled. In these instances, such subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, while revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year based on the daily closing exchange rates. Adjustments that result from translating amounts from a subsidiary’s functional currency to U.S. dollars are reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, a separate component of stockholders' equity.

Transactions made in a currency other than the functional currency are remeasured to the functional currency at the exchange rates on the dates of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses are recorded within Other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Business Combinations

We allocate the purchase consideration to the identifiable net assets acquired, including intangible assets and liabilities assumed, based on estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we may adjust provisional amounts that were recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.

Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires significant judgment, including the selection of valuation methodologies including the income approach, the cost approach, and the market approach. Significant assumptions used in those methodologies include, but are not limited to, the expected values of the underlying metric, the systematic risk embedded in the underlying metric, the volatility of the underlying metric, the risk-free rate, and the counterparty risk. The use of different valuation methodologies and assumptions is highly subjective and inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results may differ materially from estimates.

Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, money market funds and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. There were no contractual or other restrictions as to the use of cash for the years ended December 31, 2024 or 2022. As of December 31, 2023, $1,000 related to the achievement of an Additive Orthopaedics acquisition milestone was included as restricted cash within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. For additional information regarding the Additive Orthopaedics acquisition milestone refer to Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Trade Receivables, Less Allowances and Estimated Credit Losses

Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date and are stated at the amount billed to the customer.

Trade receivables also include unbilled receivables due from customers that represent completed surgical cases that are pending customer-issued purchase orders. These unbilled receivables are covered by agreements with customers, the products have typically been used in a surgery, and collection is determined to be probable.

The Company estimates an allowance for trade receivables and estimated credit losses based upon an evaluation of the current status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for trade receivables and credit losses will change.

The following table presents the activity in the allowance for trade receivables and estimated credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

Inventories, Net

Inventories are considered finished goods and are purchased from third-party contract manufacturers. These inventories consist of implants, hardware, and consumables and are held in our warehouse, with third-party independent sales representatives or distributors, or consigned directly with hospitals.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with the U.S inventory cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis and International inventory cost determined on a weighted average cost basis. When sold, inventory is relieved at weighted average cost. We evaluate the carrying value of our inventories in relation to historical sales, current inventory levels, and consideration of the life cycle of the product. A significant decrease in demand or development of products could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory on hand, which could lead to additional charges for excess and obsolete inventory. The Company estimates a reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventory based on current inventory levels, historical sales and forecasted sales. Expenses for excess and obsolete inventory are included in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The inventory reserve was $30,803 and $20,921 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

A feature of the orthopedic business is the high level of product inventory required, some of which is located at customer premises and is available for customers’ immediate use (referred to as consignment inventory). Complete sets of products, including large and small sizes, have to be made available in this way. These outer sizes are used less frequently than standard sizes and towards the end of the product life cycle are inevitably in excess of requirements. Adjustments to carrying value are therefore required to be made to orthopedic inventory to anticipate this situation. These adjustments are calculated in accordance with a formula based on levels of inventory compared with historical and forecast usage. This formula is applied on an individual product line basis and is first applied when a product group has been on the market for two years. This method of calculation is considered appropriate based on experience, but it involves management judgements on effectiveness of inventory deployment, length of product lives, phase-out of old products and efficiency of manufacturing planning systems.  

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and included in Property and equipment, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost

and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in included in Selling, general and administrative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on useful lives of the assets which range from three to twenty-five years, which best reflects the pattern of use. The Company depreciates surgical instrumentation, once available for use, over a five-year period and in certain cases, once available for use, over a three-year period. Depreciation for surgical instrumentation used in surgery is included in Selling, general, and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the lease term.

Property and equipment are assessed for impairment upon triggering events that indicate the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows of the asset group expected to be generated from its use and eventual disposition. If the asset group’s carrying value is determined to not be recoverable, the impairment to be recognized is measured by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset group. No impairment charges related to property and equipment were recorded in any of the periods presented.

Intangibles

The costs associated with applying for patents and trademarks are capitalized. Patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the patent’s economic or legal life, which is approximately eighteen years. Costs associated with capitalized patents include third-party attorney fees and other third-party fees as well as costs related to the following: the preparation of patent applications, government filings and registration fees, drawings, computer searches, and translations related to specific patents. Trademarks that are anticipated to be renewed every ten years have an indefinite life and are not amortized but tested for impairment annually. Once it is determined a trademark will no longer be renewed, the trademark is amortized over the remainder of the trademark’s registration period. Customer relationships are amortized over an estimated useful life of three to seven years on a straight-line basis. Other intangibles, which mainly consist of noncompete arrangements, are amortized over an estimated useful life of three years on a straight-line basis. Developed technology is amortized over an estimated useful life of twelve years on a straight-line basis.

Amortizable intangible assets are assessed for impairment upon triggering events that indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the associated asset. If the asset’s carrying value is determined to not be recoverable, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the intangible assets. No impairment charges related to amortizable assets were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Indefinite-lived trademark assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company can elect to first apply the optional qualitative impairment assessment to determine whether the indefinite-lived intangible asset is more-likely-than-not impaired. If, on the basis of the qualitative impairment assessment, an entity asserts that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the Company would be required to calculate the fair value of the asset for an impairment test. Impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

A qualitative assessment considers macroeconomic and other industry-specific factors, such as trends in short-term and long-term interest rates and the ability to access capital, and company specific factors such as trends in revenue generating activities, and merger or acquisition activity. If the Company elects to bypass qualitatively assessing its indefinite-lived intangible assets, or it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset exceeds its carrying value, management estimates the fair value of the intangible asset and compares it to the carrying value. The estimated fair value of the intangible asset is established using an income approach based on a discounted cash flow model that includes significant assumptions about the future operating results and cash flows of the intangible asset or assets.

The Company elected to perform a qualitative analysis for its indefinite-lived intangible assets as of October 1, 2024, the annual test date. The Company determined, after performing the qualitative analysis, that there was no evidence that it

is more likely than not that the fair value of its intangible assets was less than the carrying amount. Therefore, it was not necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test and no such impairment charges were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price as compared to the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or when indications of impairment exist. Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level as defined in ASC 350. Per this definition, a reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. The Company has determined that it has one reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment. We can elect to qualitatively assess goodwill for impairment if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value.

Impairment exists when the carrying amount, including goodwill, of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, resulting in an impairment charge for this excess (not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill). The impairment, if determined, is recorded within Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the period the determination is made. No such impairment charges were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. There is a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2- Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace, such as quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

Financial instruments (principally cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses) are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The majority of our debt is carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the variable interest rate associated with our debt. However, we are the fixed rate payor on an interest rate swap contract associated with the Company’s Zions Facility, which is classified as Level 2. We reassess the fair value of our interest rate swap on a quarterly basis. The change in fair value is recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities presented in the Level 1 category as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and does not have any assets or liabilities presented in the Level 3 category as of December 31, 2024. There were no changes in level hierarchies during the year ended December 31, 2023. See "Contingent Earn-out Consideration" below for a discussion on our Level 3 inputs. 

Fair Value of Non-Financial Assets

The Company’s non-financial assets, which consist primarily of property and equipment, right-of-use assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. The fair values of these assets are determined, as required, based on Level 3 measurements, including estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows based upon historical experience, expected market conditions, and management’s plans. 

Contingent Earn-out Consideration

Business combinations may include contingent earn-out consideration as part of the purchase price under which the Company will make future payments to the seller upon the achievement of certain milestones. The fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration is estimated as of the acquisition date at the present value of the expected contingent payments and is subsequently remeasured at each balance sheet date. Two methodologies are considered in the valuation: the scenario-based model (“SBM”) and Monte Carlo simulation. The SBM relies on multiple outcomes to estimate the likelihood of future payoff of the contingent consideration. The resulting earnout payoff is then probability-weighted and discounted at an appropriate risk adjusted rate in order to arrive at the present value of the expected earnout payment. The Monte Carlo simulation is used to value the non-linear contingent considerations based on projected financial metrics. Each trial of the Monte Carlo simulation draws a value from the assumed distribution for the underlying metric. The earnout payoff for each simulation trial is calculated based on that particular simulated path for the underlying metrics and then discounted to present value using the risk-free rate, adjusted for counterparty credit risk. The value of the earnout is estimated as the average value from all simulation trials. The fair value estimates use unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions as to the ability of the acquired business to meet the targeted benchmarks and discount rates used in the calculations. The unobservable inputs are defined in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” as Level 3 inputs.

We review the probabilities of achievement of the earnout milestones to determine impact on the fair value of the earnout consideration on a quarterly basis over the earn-out period. Actual results are compared to the estimates and probabilities of achievement used in our forecasts. Should actual results of the acquired business increase or decrease as compared to our estimates and assumptions, the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration liability will increase or decrease, up to the contractual limit, as applicable. Changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration are recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and are reflected in the period in which they are identified. Changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration may materially impact or cause volatility in our operating results. For additional information on the Company’s earnout liabilities refer to Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination as to whether a deferred tax asset will be realized is made on a jurisdictional basis and is based on both positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes historic taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversal of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax planning strategies.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. The Company will recognize interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense if incurred.

Revenue Recognition

We account for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenue is generated primarily from the sale of our implants and disposables and, to a much lesser extent, from the sale of our surgical instrumentation. We sell our products through employee sales personnel, and independent sales representatives in the U.S. Outside the U.S., sales are through independent sales representatives and to stocking distributors. We have consignment agreements with certain distributors and hospitals. Our customers are primarily hospitals and surgery centers.

Revenue is recorded, net of estimated discounts and other price concessions, when our performance obligation is satisfied, which is when our customers take title of the product, typically when the product is used in surgery. We generally have written contracts with our customers which incorporate pricing and our standard terms and conditions. Any discounts we offer are outlined in our customer agreements. As the discounts are known at the time of purchase, no estimates are required at the time of revenue recognition. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as cost of goods sold and amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs are recorded in revenue. We have elected to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes (e.g., sales, use, value-added) assessed by government authorities and collected from a customer. Therefore, revenue is recognized net of such taxes. Commissions to sales agents for the sales exceeding their quotas are classified as incremental costs of obtaining a contract as such costs would not have been incurred if the contract was not signed. We have elected to use the practical expedient to expense such costs that should be capitalized as the amortization period of the costs would be less than one year.

Due to the nature of our products, returns are minimal and an estimate for returns is not material. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to our customers. We recorded unbilled revenue of $5,884 and $5,598 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, within Net revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Determining unbilled revenue involves management judgment.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of products purchased from third-party suppliers, freight, shipping, excess and obsolete and other inventory charges, and royalties. Implants are manufactured to our specifications by third-party suppliers. Most implants are produced in the U.S. Cost of goods sold is recognized for consigned implants at the time the implant is used in surgery and the related revenue is recognized. Prior to their use in surgery, the cost of consigned implants is recorded as Inventories, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Stock-Based Compensation

All stock-based awards to employees and nonemployee contractors, including any grants of stock, stock options, restricted stock units (“RSU”), performance stock units ("PSU") and the option to purchase common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), are measured at fair value at the grant date and recognized over the relevant vesting period in accordance with the ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Stock-based awards to nonemployees are recognized as a selling, general and administrative expense over the period of performance. Such awards are measured at fair value at the date of grant. In addition, for awards that vest immediately, the awards are measured at fair value and recognized in full at the grant date.

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock-option award containing service and/or performance conditions on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model which incorporates assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of the options, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company relies on its historical volatility as an input to the option pricing model as management believes that this rate will be representative of future volatility over the expected term of the options. The expected term until exercise represents the weighted-average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and the Company’s historical exercise patterns. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends for the foreseeable future, so the dividend yield is assumed to be zero. The Company estimates forfeitures of share-based awards at the time of grant and revises such estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from original estimates. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant.

The Company estimates the fair value its performance stock units (“PSU’s”) on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation. Refer to Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the valuation of our PSU’s.

Subsequent to the IPO, the fair value of the Company’s common stock underlying its equity awards is based on the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Prior to the IPO, because there was no public market for the Company’s common stock, the fair value of the common stock underlying the stock awards has historically been determined at the time of grant of the stock option by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including sales of shares of common stock, third-party valuations performed, important developments in the Company’s operations, actual operating results and financial performance, the conditions in the medical device industry and the economy in general, and the stock price performance, volatility of comparable public companies, and an assumption for a discount for lack of marketability, among other factors.

Research and Development

Research and development expense is comprised of in-house research and development of new products and technologies, clinical studies and trials, regulatory expenses, and employee related compensation and expenses. We maintain a procedurally focused approach to product development and have projects underway to add new products to our existing systems and to add new systems across multiple foot and ankle indications.

Leases

At the inception of a contractual arrangement, the Company determines whether the contract contains a lease by assessing whether there is an identified asset and whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset in exchange for consideration over a period of time. If both criteria are met, the Company calculates the associated lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset upon lease commencement using a discount rate based on a borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the lease. The Company records lease liabilities within current liabilities or long-term liabilities based upon the length of time associated with the lease payments. The Company records its operating lease right-of-use assets within Other assets.

Contingencies

A liability is contingent if the amount is not presently known but may become known in the future as a result of the occurrence of some uncertain future event. We accrue a liability for an estimated loss if we determine that the potential loss is probable of occurring and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether the amount of an exposure is reasonably estimable, and accruals are based only on the information available to our management at the time the judgment is made. We expense legal costs, including those legal costs incurred in connection with a loss contingency, as incurred.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), which provides amendments to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements by including expense and profitability measures. The Company adopted the ASU 2023-07 effective January 1, 2024. As a result, the Company has included the additional required disclosures in Note 16 with retrospective presentation to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification. Certain of the amendments represent clarifications to or technical corrections of the current requirements. ASU 2023-06 is applicable to all entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements. The effective date for each amendment will be the date

on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments in ASU 2023-06 and does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact on the Company’s related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The main provisions in ASU 2023-09 enhance the disclosure requirements of rate reconciliations and income taxes paid. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis, retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments in this guidance to determine the impact it will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which provides amendments to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions.  The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the amendments in ASU 2024-03 to determine the impact it will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes for the year-ended December 31, 2027, upon adoption.
