Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 were $53.6 million, primarily recognized on an “as-shipped” basis, a 20.4% decrease compared to net sales for the same period in 2019 of $67.4 million, recognized on a “cash-receipts” basis. Included in the three months ended June 30, 2020, is $1.7 million of cash collected related to sales made prior to the transition in the Company’s revenue recognition methodology. The decrease in net sales, excluding the impact of the cash collected on the remaining contracts, resulted primarily from the COVID-19 pandemic causing cancellations and postponements for many elective procedures across the U.S. Additionally, due to access restrictions imposed across the country, the Company’s direct sales staff were limited in their ability to retain or generate new business. The restrictions affected all product lines, and materially impacted products across multiple sites of service, including hospital out-patient, hospital in-patient and physician office applications. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2020 was 84.7% as compared to 85.5% in the second quarter of 2019.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2020 decreased $13.3 million, or 26.3%, to $37.3 million compared to $50.6 million for the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was driven, in part, by a temporary decrease in salaries, bonuses, and other expenses to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The total effect of such measures was a decrease of $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. Lower commissions also contributed to the decrease in SG&A. In addition, the Company reported a year-over-year decrease of $4.9 million in legal, consulting, and accounting expenses not covered in investigation, restatement and related expense. Travel restrictions also caused a reduction in travel-related expenses.

Investigation, restatement and related expenses for the second quarter of 2020 were $11.4 million, compared to $21.0 million for the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of $5.0 million in insurance coverage payments received during the three months ended June 30, 2020 related to litigation involving the Company, its directors and officers, along with a reduction in investigation and litigation costs, as the Audit Committee’s investigation concluded in May 2019.

Research and development expenses were $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2019. The decrease is primarily related to year-over-year decreases in clinical trial activities driven by a decrease in patient activity brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic. While expenses are down compared to prior year, the Company expects these costs to increase over time as it invests in additional clinical and scientific research, including internal product development, clinical efficacy and economic data, and pre-clinical research supportive of future growth objectives.

COVID-19 Update

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Company’s ability to sell products and access various sites of care across the country as patients stayed away from hospitals and other medical facilities. This had an adverse effect on our revenues beginning late in the first quarter of 2020 and continuing into April. By mid-May, access restrictions to hospitals and offices of healthcare providers had eased for the Company’s sales force, and significant numbers of patients began to return for treatment, including for elective procedures. On an “as shipped” basis, net sales in April 2020 and May 2020 were down significantly compared to April 2019 and May 2019, respectively, while net sales in June 2020 were in line with net sales in June 2019.

Beginning in early July 2020, additional restrictions that again limit or postpone elective surgical procedures have been put in place in some areas of the country and, in particular, in areas of the country that contribute a larger portion of sales. Future sales will depend on patients’ willingness to visit healthcare providers for care, and the Company’s sales force’s access to healthcare providers. Also, the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic has been uneven across the country, and future waves of the outbreak of COVID-19 may have a greater impact than did the first wave, depending on where infection rates are highest. The Company is not able to estimate COVID-19’s future effect on patient behavior and consequently future demand or the ability of providers to pay for the Company’s products.

Recent Developments

On July 2, 2020, the Company announced the closing of concurrent $150 million private equity and debt financings, consisting of (1) the sale of shares of a newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100 million, with $90 million provided by an affiliate of EW Healthcare Partners and $10 million provided by Hayfin Capital Management LLP (“Hayfin”), and (2) a five-year term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $50 million, the full amount of which has been borrowed and funded, and a one-year delayed draw term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $25 million, which has not been drawn or funded.

On July 2, 2020, the Company repaid the remaining principal of its outstanding term loan with Blue Torch Finance LLC, the related prepayment premium, and the accrued interest, with a portion of the proceeds from the equity and debt financings described above.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to our GAAP results, we provide certain non-GAAP metrics including Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the presentation of these measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding our performance. These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements. Company management uses these Non-GAAP measurements as aids in monitoring our ongoing financial performance from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year on a regular basis and for benchmarking against comparable companies. EBITDA is intended to provide a measure of the Company’s operating performance as it eliminates the effects of financing and capital expenditures. EBITDA consists of GAAP net loss excluding: (i) depreciation, (ii) amortization of intangibles, (iii) interest expense and (iv) income tax provision (benefit). Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide a normalized view of EBITDA and our broader business operations that we expect to experience on an ongoing basis by removing items that may be irregular, one-time, or non-recurring from EBITDA; most significantly those expenses related to the Audit Committee investigation and restatement. This enables us to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by such items. Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net loss excluding: (i) depreciation, (ii) amortization of intangibles, (iii) interest expense, (iv) income tax provision (benefit), (v) costs incurred in connection with the Audit Committee investigation and restatement, (vi) the effect of the Company’s change in revenue recognition pattern, (vii) impairment of intangible assets and (viii) share-based compensation. A reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA appears in the table below (in thousands).
