Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Period Ended December 31, 2023

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

Description of Business

Surmodics, Inc. and subsidiaries (referred to as “Surmodics,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other like terms) is a leading provider of performance coating technologies for intravascular medical devices and chemical and biological components for in vitro diagnostic (“IVD”) immunoassay tests and microarrays. Surmodics develops and commercializes highly differentiated vascular intervention medical devices that are designed to address unmet clinical needs and engineered to the most demanding requirements. This key growth strategy leverages the combination of the Company’s expertise in proprietary surface modification and drug-delivery coating technologies, along with its device design, development and manufacturing capabilities. The Company’s mission is to improve the detection and treatment of disease. Surmodics is headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts and wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company operates on a fiscal year ending on September 30. In accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company has omitted footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire 2024 fiscal year.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This guidance requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This amendment is effective for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2025 and interim periods within our fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This guidance requires consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and disclosures of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This amendment is effective for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2026 and interim periods within our fiscal year ending September 30, 2027. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures.

No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year has had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contract assets totaled $9.2 million and $7.8 million as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Fluctuations in the balance of contract assets result primarily from (i) fluctuations in the sales volume of performance coating royalties and license fees earned, but not collected, at each balance sheet date due to payment timing and contractual changes in the normal course of business; and (ii) starting in fiscal 2024, sales-based profit-sharing earned, but not collected, related to a collaborative arrangement (Note 3).

3. Collaborative Arrangement

On February 26, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Abbott Vascular, Inc. (“Abbott”) with respect to one of the device products in our Medical Device reportable segment, the SurVeil™ drug-coated balloon (“DCB”) for treatment of the superficial femoral artery (the “Abbott Agreement”). In June 2023, the SurVeil DCB received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) premarket approval (“PMA”) and may now be marketed and sold in the U.S. by Abbott.

SurVeil DCB License Fees

Under the Abbott Agreement, Surmodics is responsible for conducting all necessary clinical trials, including completion of the ongoing, five-year TRANSCEND pivotal clinical trial of the SurVeil DCB. The Company has received payments totaling $87.8 million for achievement of clinical and regulatory milestones under the Abbott Agreement, which consisted of the following: (i) $25 million upfront fee in fiscal 2018, (ii) $10 million milestone payment in fiscal 2019, (iii) $10.8 million milestone payment in fiscal 2020, (iv) $15 million milestone payment in fiscal 2021, and (v) $27 million milestone payment in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 upon receipt of PMA for the SurVeil DCB from the FDA. There are no remaining contingent or other milestone payments under the Abbott Agreement.

License fee revenue on milestone payments received under the Abbott Agreement is recognized using the cost-to-cost method based on total costs incurred to date relative to total expected costs for the TRANSCEND pivotal clinical trial, which is expected to be competed in fiscal 2025. See Note 2 Revenue for SurVeil DCB license fee revenue recognized in our Medical Device reportable segment.

As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets totaled $5.7 million and $6.8 million, respectively, which was primarily related to milestone payments received under the Abbott Agreement. The $5.7 million in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2023, which represents the Company’s performance obligations that are unsatisfied for executed contracts with an original duration of one year or more, is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next two years through fiscal 2025 as services, principally TRANSCEND clinical trial, are completed.

The amount of revenue recognized that was included in the respective beginning of fiscal year balances of deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets totaled $1.0 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SurVeil DCB Product Sales

Under the Abbott Agreement, we supply commercial units of the SurVeil DCB to Abbott, and Abbott has exclusive worldwide distribution rights. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we commenced shipment of commercial units of the SurVeil DCB to Abbott. We recognize revenue from the sale of commercial units of the SurVeil DCB to Abbott at the time of shipment in product sales on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The amount of SurVeil DCB product sales revenue recognized includes (i) the contractual transfer price per unit and (ii) an estimate of Surmodics’ share of net profits resulting from product sales by Abbott to third parties pursuant to the Abbott Agreement (“estimated SurVeil DCB profit-sharing”). On a quarterly basis, Abbott (i) reports to us its third-party sales of the SurVeil DCB the quarter after those sales occur, which may occur within two years following shipment based on the product’s current shelf life; and (ii) reports to us and pays the actual amount of profit-sharing. Estimated SurVeil DCB profit-sharing represents variable consideration and is recorded in contract assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We estimate variable consideration as the most-likely amount to which we expect to be entitled, and we include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Significant judgment is required in estimating the amount of variable consideration to recognize when assessing factors outside of Surmodics’ influence, such as limited availability of third-party information, expected duration of time until resolution, and limited relevant past experience.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On October 14, 2022, the Company entered into a secured revolving credit facility and secured term loan facilities pursuant to a Credit, Security and Guaranty Agreement (the “MidCap Credit Agreement”) with Mid Cap Funding IV Trust, as agent, and MidCap Financial Trust, as term loan servicer and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The MidCap Credit Agreement provides for availability under a secured revolving line of credit of up to $25.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base.

The MidCap Credit Agreement also provides for up to $75.0 million in term loans (the “Term Loans”), consisting of a $25.0 million Tranche 1 (“Tranche 1”) and a $50.0 million Tranche 2 (“Tranche 2”), which may be drawn in increments of at least $10.0 million. In addition, after the closing and prior to December 31, 2024, the Term Loan lenders may, in their sole discretion, fund an additional tranche of Term Loans of up to $25.0 million upon the written request of the Company. Upon closing, the Company borrowed $25.0 million of Tranche 1, borrowed $5.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility, and used approximately $10.0 million of the proceeds to repay borrowings under the revolving credit facility with Bridgewater Bank. The Company intends to use the remaining proceeds to fund working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, as permitted under the MidCap Credit Agreement. Until December 31, 2024, the Company will be eligible to borrow Tranche 2 at the Company’s option upon meeting certain conditions set forth in the MidCap Credit Agreement, including having no less than $60.0 million of rolling-four-quarter core net revenue as of the end of the prior fiscal quarter. Core net revenue is defined in the MidCap Credit Agreement as the sum of revenue from our In Vitro Diagnostics segment and revenues from performance coating technologies in our Medical Device segment.

Pursuant to the MidCap Credit Agreement, the Company provided a first priority security interest in all existing and future acquired assets, including intellectual property and real estate, owned by the Company. The MidCap Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that limit the Company’s ability to engage in certain transactions. Subject to certain limited exceptions, these covenants limit the Company’s ability to, among other things:

create, incur, assume or permit to exist any additional indebtedness, or create, incur, allow or permit to exist any additional liens;
enter into any amendment or other modification of certain agreements;
effect certain changes in the Company’s business, fiscal year, management, entity name or business locations;
liquidate or dissolve, merge with or into, or consolidate with, any other company;
pay cash dividends on, make any other distributions in respect of, or redeem, retire or repurchase, any shares of the Company’s capital stock;
make certain investments, other than limited permitted acquisitions; and
enter into transactions with the Company’s affiliates.

The MidCap Credit Agreement also contains customary indemnification obligations and customary events of default, including, among other things, (i) non-payment, (ii) breach of warranty, (iii) non-performance of covenants and obligations, (iv) default on other indebtedness, (v) judgments, (vi) change of control, (vii) bankruptcy and insolvency, (viii) impairment of security, (ix) termination of a pension plan, (x) regulatory matters, and (xi) material adverse effect.

In addition, the Company must maintain minimum core net revenue levels tested quarterly to the extent that Term Loans advanced under the MidCap Credit Agreement exceed $25.0 million. In the event of default under the MidCap Credit Agreement, the Company would be required to pay interest on principal and all other due and unpaid obligations at the current rate in effect plus 2%.

Borrowings under the MidCap Credit Agreement bear interest at the forward-looking, one-month secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”) as published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited plus 0.10% (“Adjusted Term SOFR”). The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at an annual rate equal to 3.00% plus the greater of Adjusted Term SOFR or 1.50%, and the Term Loans bear interest at an annual rate equal to 5.75% plus the greater of Adjusted Term SOFR or 1.50%. The Company is required to make monthly interest payments on the Revolving Credit Facility with the entire principal payment due at maturity. The Company is required to make 48 monthly interest payments on the Term Loans beginning on November 1, 2022 (the “Interest-Only Period”). If the Company is in covenant compliance at the end of the Interest-Only Period, the Company will have the option to extend the Interest-Only Period through maturity with the entire principal payment due at maturity. If the Company is not in covenant compliance at the end of the Interest-Only Period, the Company is required to make 12 months of straight-line amortization payments with the entire principal amount due at maturity.

14


TABLE OF CONTENTS

Subject to certain limitations, the Term Loans have a prepayment fee for payments made prior to the maturity date equal to 2.0% of the prepaid principal amount for the second year following the closing date and 1.0% of the prepaid principal amount for the third year following the closing date and thereafter. In addition, if the Revolving Credit Facility is terminated in whole or in part prior to the maturity date, the Company must pay a prepayment fee equal to 2.0% of the terminated commitment amount for the second year following the closing date of the MidCap Credit Agreement and 1.0% of the terminated commitment amount for the third year following the closing date and thereafter. The Company is also required to pay a full exit fee at the time of maturity or full prepayment event equal to 2.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans made pursuant to the MidCap Credit Agreement and a partial exit fee at the time of any partial prepayment event equal to 2.5% of the amount prepaid. This exit fee is accreted over the remaining term of the Term Loans. The Company also is obligated to pay customary origination fees at the time of each funding of the Term Loans and a customary annual administrative fee based on the amount borrowed under the Term Loan, due on an annual basis. The customary fees on the Revolving Credit Facility include (i) an origination fee based on the commitment amount, which was paid on the closing date, (ii) an annual collateral management fee of 0.50% per annum based on the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Facility, payable monthly in arrears and (iii) an unused line fee of 0.50% per annum based on the average unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, payable monthly in arrears. The Company must also maintain a minimum balance of no less than 20% of availability under the Revolving Credit Facility or a minimum balance fee applies of 0.50% per annum. Expenses recognized for fees for the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans are reported in interest expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, derivative financial instruments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets consisted of a fixed-to-variable interest rate swap to mitigate exposure to interest rate increases related to our Term Loans (“interest rate swap”). The interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge. See Note 6 Debt for further information on our financing arrangements. The net fair value of designated hedge derivatives subject to master netting arrangements reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets was as follows:

Restricted Stock Awards

During the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company awarded 98,000 and 99,000 restricted stock shares, respectively, to certain key employees and officers with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $33.64 and $36.05, respectively. Restricted Stock is valued based on the market value of the shares as of the date of grant.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

During each of the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company awarded 5,000 and 6,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively, to directors and to key employees in foreign jurisdictions with a weighted average grant date fair value per unit of $33.64 and $36.13, respectively. RSUs are valued based on the market value of the shares as of the date of grant.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Our U.S. employees are eligible to participate in the amended 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) approved by our shareholders. During the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, no shares were issued under the ESPP.

9. Net Loss Per Share Data

Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive common shares are those that result from dilutive common stock options and non-vested stock relating to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units.

The calculation of diluted loss per share excluded 0.1 million in weighted-average shares for each of the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, as their effect was anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding were as follows:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

10. Income Taxes

For interim income tax reporting, the Company estimates its full-year effective tax rate and applies it to fiscal year-to-date pretax income (loss), excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items. Tax jurisdictions with losses for which tax benefits cannot be realized are excluded. The Company reported an income tax expense of $(0.1) million and income tax benefit of $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Beginning in our fiscal 2023, certain research and development (“R&D”) costs are required to be capitalized and amortized over a five-year period under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017. This change impacts the expected U.S. federal and state income tax expense and cash taxes paid and to be paid for our fiscal 2024 and 2023.
Since September 30, 2022, we have maintained a full valuation allowance against U.S. net deferred tax assets. As a result, we are no longer recording a tax benefit associated with U.S. pretax losses and incremental deferred tax assets.
Recurring items cause our effective tax rate to differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, including foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”) deductions in the U.S., U.S. federal and Irish R&D credits, Irish and U.S. state tax rates, and excess tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation.

A valuation allowance is required to be recognized against deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) that all or a portion of such assets will not be realized. We apply judgment to consider the relative impact of negative and positive evidence, and the weight given to negative and positive evidence is commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. Objective historical evidence, such as cumulative three-year pre-tax income (losses) adjusted for permanent adjustments, is given greater weight than subjective positive evidence, such as forecasts of future earnings. The more objective negative evidence that exists limits our ability to consider other, potentially positive, subjective evidence, such as our future earnings projections. Based on our evaluation of all available positive and negative evidence, and by placing greater weight on the objectively verifiable evidence, we determined, as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, that it is more likely than not that our net U.S. deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to significant estimates used to establish the valuation allowance and the potential for changes in facts and circumstances, it is reasonably possible that we will be required to record additional adjustments to the valuation allowance in future reporting periods that could have a material effect on our results of operations.

Discrete tax benefits related to stock-based compensation awards vested, expired, canceled and exercised was $0.1 million or less for each of the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $3.7 million and $3.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in the income tax (expense) benefit.

The Company files income tax returns, including returns for its subsidiaries, in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state jurisdictions, as well as several non-U.S. jurisdictions. Uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination. The Internal Revenue Service commenced an examination of the Company’s fiscal 2019 U.S. federal tax return in fiscal 2022; the examination has not been completed. U.S. federal income tax returns for years prior to fiscal 2019 are no longer subject to examination by federal tax authorities. For tax returns for U.S. state and local jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to examination for tax years generally before fiscal 2013. For tax returns for non-U.S. jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examination for years prior to 2019. There were no undistributed earnings in foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Asset Acquisitions. In fiscal 2018, the Company acquired certain intellectual property assets of Embolitech, LLC (the “Embolitech Transaction”). As part of the Embolitech Transaction, the Company paid the sellers $5.0 million in fiscal 2018, $1.0 million in fiscal 2020, $1.0 million in fiscal 2021, $0.5 million in fiscal 2022 and $1.0 million in fiscal 2023. The Company is obligated to pay an additional installment of $0.9 million in fiscal 2024, which may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain sales and regulatory milestones. An additional $1.0 million payment is contingent upon the achievement of a certain regulatory milestone within a contingency period ending in 2033.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis provides information management believes is useful in understanding the operating results, cash flows and financial condition of Surmodics. The discussion should be read in conjunction with both the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, each included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. This discussion contains various “Forward-Looking Statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We refer readers to the statement entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” located at the end of this Item 2.

Overview

Surmodics, Inc. (referred to as “Surmodics,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other like terms) is a leading provider of performance coating technologies for intravascular medical devices and chemical and biological components for in vitro diagnostic (“IVD”) immunoassay tests and microarrays. Surmodics develops and commercializes highly differentiated vascular intervention medical devices that are designed to address unmet clinical needs and engineered to the most demanding requirements. This key growth strategy leverages the combination of the Company’s expertise in proprietary surface modification and drug-delivery coating technologies, along with its device design, development and manufacturing capabilities. The Company’s mission is to improve the detection and treatment of disease. Surmodics is headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

Vascular Intervention Medical Device Platforms

Within our Medical Device segment, we develop and manufacture our own proprietary vascular intervention medical device products, which leverage our expertise in performance coating technologies, product design and engineering capabilities. We believe our strategy of developing our own medical device products has increased, and will continue to increase, our relevance in the medical device industry. This strategy is key to our future growth and profitability, providing us with the opportunity to capture more revenue and operating margin with vascular intervention device products than we would by licensing our device-enabling technologies.

Highlighted below are select medical device products within our development pipeline that are our focus for development and commercialization efforts. For our drug-coated balloon (“DCB") platform, we are commercializing our SurVeil™ DCB through a distribution arrangement with Abbott Vascular, Inc. (“Abbott”). For both our thrombectomy and radial access platforms, we are pursuing commercialization via a direct sales strategy leveraging a small team of experienced sales professionals and clinical specialists. Beginning in fiscal 2022, we began to see modest, but meaningful and growing revenue associated with the adoption, utilization and sales of our Pounce™ and Sublime™ platform products.

Drug-coated Balloon Platform

Surmodics’ DCBs are designed for vascular interventions to treat peripheral arterial disease (“PAD”), a condition that causes a narrowing of the blood vessels supplying the extremities.

SurVeil DCB is a paclitaxel-coated DCB to treat PAD in the upper leg (superficial femoral artery), which utilizes a proprietary paclitaxel drug-excipient formulation for a durable balloon coating and is manufactured using an innovative process to improve coating uniformity. In June 2023, the SurVeil DCB received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) premarket approval (“PMA”) and may now be marketed and sold in the U.S. by Abbott under our exclusive worldwide distribution agreement for the product (the “Abbott Agreement”). The SurVeil DCB also has the necessary regulatory approval for commercialization in the European Union (”E.U.”).

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we completed shipment of Abbott’s initial stocking order of commercial units of the SurVeil DCB, resulting in recognition of product sales, which included both (i) the contractual transfer price, and (ii) an estimate of Surmodics’ share of net profits resulting from product sales by Abbott to third parties. As of January 2024, the SurVeil DCB is now a commercial product available in the U.S. through Abbott.

SundanceTM DCB is a sirolimus-coated DCB used for the treatment of below-the-knee PAD. We completed six-month patient follow-up visits in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 for the SWING first-in-human, 35-patient clinical study of our Sundance DCB. SWING study data at 24 months have demonstrated an excellent safety profile and promising signals of potential performance. We continue to evaluate our strategy for further clinical investment in the Sundance DCB based on the experience we have gained from the PMA application process for the SurVeil DCB.

Pounce Thrombectomy Platform

We have successfully developed, internally and through acquisitions, multiple FDA 510(k)-cleared mechanical thrombectomy devices for the non-surgical removal of thrombi and emboli (clots) from the peripheral vasculature. In addition to FDA clearance, our Pounce Venous Thrombectomy System has the necessary regulatory approval for commercialization in the E.U. We believe that the ease of use, intuitive design and efficient performance of our thrombectomy products make these devices viable first-line treatment options for interventionalists. These devices include:

Pounce Arterial Thrombectomy System for the removal of clots from arteries in the peripheral vasculature associated with PAD. Commercial sales began in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the low-profile (LP) model of the Pounce Arterial Thrombectomy System received FDA 510(k) regulatory clearance, which will allow for clot removal in below-the-knee peripheral arteries (2 mm to 4 mm in diameter), expanding the addressable market for the Pounce platform. Limited market evaluations for the Pounce LP device began in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, and transition to commercial launch is targeted for fiscal 2024.

Pounce Venous Thrombectomy System for the removal of clots from veins in the peripheral vasculature generally associated with venous thromboembolism (”VTE”). We conducted limited market evaluations of the Pounce Venous Thrombectomy System in fiscal 2023 to obtain physician feedback across a variety of cases and clinical conditions. Completion of limited market evaluations for the Pounce Venous Thrombectomy System and transition to commercial launch are targeted for fiscal 2024.

Sublime Radial Access Platform

We have successfully developed and received FDA 510(k) regulatory clearance for a suite of devices that enable vascular intervention via radial (wrist) access for which commercial sales began in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. These devices include:

Sublime guide sheath to provide the conduit for peripheral intervention with an access point at the wrist that enables treatment all the way to the pedal loop of the foot.
Sublime .014 RX PTA dilatation catheter for treatment of lesions in arteries below the knee all the way to the patient’s foot and around the pedal loop.
Sublime .018 RX PTA dilatation catheter for treatment of lesions in arteries above and below the knee.
Sublime microcatheter, peripheral microcatheters with multiple configurations (compatible with .014, .018 and .035 guidewires) for access to arterial lesions above and below the knee using radial, femoral, or alternate access site approaches. Limited market evaluations of the Sublime microcatheter began in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and are expected to continue in fiscal 2024.

For more information regarding our vascular intervention medical devices, see Part I, Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

Medical Device. Revenue in our Medical Device segment was $23.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, a 24% increase from $19.0 million in the prior-year quarter.

Medical Device product sales increased 43% to $12.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $8.4 million in the prior-year quarter. Product sales growth year-over-year was primarily driven by fulfillment of the initial stocking order for the SurVeil DCB from Abbott, our exclusive distribution partner for the product, and continued sales growth from the Pounce thrombectomy device platform.
Performance coating royalties and license fee revenue increased 10% to $8.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $7.5 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by growth from customers utilizing our Serene™ coating.
SurVeil DCB license fee revenue under the Abbott Agreement was $1.0 million and $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. The year-over-year decline in SurVeil DCB license fee revenue was driven by lower TRANSCEND clinical trial costs subsequent to receipt of PMA from the FDA for the SurVeil DCB in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
Medical Device research and development (“R&D”) and other revenue increased $0.5 million to $2.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $1.9 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by increased volume of performance coating services.

In Vitro Diagnostics. Revenue in our In Vitro Diagnostics (“IVD”) segment was $7.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, an 18% increase from $5.9 million in the prior-year quarter.

IVD product sales increased 17% to $6.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $5.9 million in the prior-year quarter, driven primarily by strong customer demand and favorable order timing for distributed antigen and microarray slide/surface products, partly offset by lower sales of protein stabilization products.
IVD R&D and other revenue was $0.1 million for both the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023.

Product gross margin is defined as product gross profit as a percentage of product sales.

Product gross profit and product gross margins. Product gross profit increased $1.1 million, or 12%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the prior-year period. Product gross margins were 53.2% and 63.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in product gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was primarily driven by several factors.

Sales of vascular intervention medical devices – our SurVeil DCB, Pounce thrombectomy, and Sublime radial access products – increased as a proportion of total product sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the prior-year period, which had an unfavorable revenue mix impact to product gross margin. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, product margins for our vascular interventions devices were impacted by the under-absorption of fixed costs and production inefficiencies, including expiration of inventory, associated with production volumes that were below full scale.
Sales of relatively lower-margin IVD antigen products, which we sell as a distributor, increased year-over-year in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, resulting in an unfavorable revenue mix impact to product gross margin.
Product gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was unfavorably impacted by fixed overhead cost absorption to a greater degree, relative to the prior-year quarter, from a timing-related decrease in production volumes.

In fiscal 2024, product gross margins may continue to be adversely impacted by the shift in revenue mix towards sales of vascular intervention medical devices at relatively lower margins.

R&D expense. R&D expense declined 32%, or $4.1 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the prior-year quarter. R&D expense as a percentage of revenue was 28% and 51% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in R&D expense was primarily driven by lower SurVeil DCB R&D expenses due to the transition to commercialization, the timing of certain investments in product development, and the spending reduction plan and workforce reduction implemented in the second quarter of fiscal 2023,. For full-year fiscal 2024, we expect R&D expense to decrease between $5.5 million and $6.5 million, compared to fiscal 2023, primarily related to lower SurVeil DCB expenses as the result of transition to commercialization and the workforce reduction implemented in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, partly offset by our continued investment in our Pounce thrombectomy and Sublime radial access product platforms.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense. SG&A expense decreased 5%, or $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the prior-year quarter. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue was 41% and 53% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in SG&A expense was primarily related to lower headcount, largely as the result of the spending reduction plan and workforce reduction implemented in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. For full-year fiscal 2024, we expect SG&A expense to increase between $2.0 million and $3.0 million, compared to fiscal 2023, as we continue to advance the commercialization of our Pounce thrombectomy and Sublime radial access product platforms.

Acquired intangible asset amortization. We have previously acquired certain intangible assets through business combinations, which are amortized over periods ranging from seven to 14 years.

Interest expense, net increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the prior-year quarter, due to higher interest rates. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further discussion of financing arrangements and expectations for fiscal 2024 interest expense. Foreign currency exchange (losses) gains result primarily from the impact of U.S. dollar to Euro exchange rate fluctuations on certain intercompany transactions and balances. Investment income, net increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the prior-year quarter, due to increased investments in available-for-sale securities, as well as higher interest rates.

Income taxes. We reported income tax expense of $(0.1) million and income tax benefit of $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our effective tax rate was (9)% and 2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Beginning in our fiscal 2023, certain R&D costs are required to be capitalized and amortized over a five-year period under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017. This change impacts the expected U.S. federal and state income tax expense and cash taxes paid and to be paid for our fiscal 2024 and 2023.
Since September 30, 2022, we have maintained a full valuation allowance against U.S. net deferred tax assets. As a result of the full valuation allowance, we are no longer recording a tax benefit associated with U.S. pre-tax losses and incremental deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is required to be recognized against deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) that all or a portion of such assets will not be realized. The relevant guidance weighs available evidence such as historical cumulative taxable losses more heavily than future profitability. The valuation allowance has no impact on the availability of U.S. net deferred tax assets to offset future tax liabilities.
Recurring items cause our effective tax rate to differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, including foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”) deductions in the U.S., U.S. federal and Irish R&D credits, Irish and U.S. state tax rates, and excess tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation.

Medical Device. Our Medical Device business reported an operating loss of $(0.2) million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $(7.2) million in the prior-year quarter, representing (1)% and (38)% of revenue, respectively.

Medical Device operating expenses, excluding product costs, decreased $5.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the prior-year quarter. R&D expenditures in our Medical Device segment declined year-over-year in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 primarily as the result of lower SurVeil DCB R&D expenses due to the transition to commercialization, the spending reduction plan and workforce reduction implemented in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, and the timing of certain investments in product development. SG&A expense in our Medical Device business declined modestly year-over-year in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 due to lower headcount, primarily as the result of the spending reduction plan and workforce reduction implemented in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Medical Device product gross profit increased $0.9 million year-over-year in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Medical Device product gross margins were 48.6% and 58.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in product gross margin was primarily driven by (i) increased sales of our vascular intervention medical devices – our SurVeil DCB, Pounce thrombectomy, and Sublime radial access products – as a proportion of total product sales, compared to the prior-year period, which had an unfavorable revenue mix impact to product gross margin; and (ii) the unfavorable impact of fixed overhead cost absorption in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, relative to the prior-year quarter, from a timing-related decrease in production volumes. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, product margins for our vascular intervention medical devices were impacted by the under-absorption of fixed costs and production inefficiencies, including expiration of inventory, associated with low production volumes that were below full scale.
Performance coating royalties and license fee revenue increased $0.7 million to $8.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $7.5 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by growth from customers utilizing our Serene™ coating.
Medical Device R&D services revenue increased $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the prior-year quarter, from increased volume of coating services.
SurVeil DCB license fee revenue under the Abbott Agreement decreased $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to the prior-year quarter, driven by lower TRANSCEND clinical trial costs subsequent to receipt of PMA from the FDA for the SurVeil DCB in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

In Vitro Diagnostics. Our In Vitro Diagnostics business reported operating income of $3.1 million and $2.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing 45% and 50% of revenue, respectively.

IVD product gross profit increased $0.2 million year-over-year in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. IVD product gross margins were 61.4% and 69.4% in the first quarter fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in product gross margin was driven primarily by the unfavorable mix impact from the growth in sales of relatively lower margin distributed antigen products, partly offset by leverage on higher product sales volume.

Corporate. The Corporate category includes expenses for administrative corporate functions, such as executive management, corporate accounting, information technology, legal, human resources and Board of Directors related fees and expenses, which we do not fully allocate to the Medical Device and IVD segments. Corporate also includes expenses, such as acquisition-related costs and litigation, which are not specific to a segment and thus not allocated to our reportable segments. The unallocated Corporate expense operating loss was $(3.2) million and $(2.9) million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net purchases and maturities of available-for-sale investments were a (use) source of cash totaling $(7.8) million and $0.0 million in the first three months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.
We invested $0.7 million and $1.0 million in property and equipment in the first three months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Financing Activities. Cash (used in) provided by financing activities totaled $(1.0) million and $18.8 million in the first three months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a new, five-year secured credit agreement with MidCap Funding IV Trust, as agent, and MidCap Financial Trust, as term loan servicer and the lenders from time to time party thereto (together, “MidCap”). The Company drew $25 million on the term loan and $5 million on the revolving credit facility at close. These proceeds were partially used to retire the Company’s existing revolving credit facility with Bridgewater Bank, of which $10 million was outstanding, as well as to pay a total of $0.7 million in debt issuance costs, including fees to MidCap and legal and other expenses directly associated with the financing transaction.
In the first three months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, we paid $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, to purchase common stock to pay employee taxes resulting from the vesting of stock awards and the exercise of stock options.
In the first three months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, we generated $0.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, from the sale of common stock related to our stock-based compensation plans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2023, working capital totaled $63.3 million, an increase of $0.6 million from September 30, 2023. We define working capital as current assets minus current liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments totaled $35.2 million as of December 31, 2023, a decrease of $10.2 million from $45.4 million as of September 30, 2023.

The Company proactively manages its access to capital to support liquidity and continued growth. On October 14, 2022, Surmodics entered into a new, five-year secured credit agreement with MidCap, consisting of up to $100 million in term loans ($25 million of which is at the sole discretion of MidCap) and a $25 million revolving credit facility. At close, the Company drew $25 million on the term loan and $5 million on the revolving credit facility. These proceeds were partially used to retire the Company’s then existing $25 million revolving credit facility with Bridgewater Bank, of which $10 million was outstanding. Upon closing in October 2022, the Company’s cash balance increased by $19.3 million. In fiscal 2024, the Company expects total interest expense under the credit agreement with MidCap to be approximately $3.5 million.

Revolving Credit Facility. Surmodics has access to a revolving credit facility, which provides for maximum availability of $25 million, subject to a borrowing base. As of December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility was $5 million. As of December 31, 2023, additional, incremental availability on the revolving credit facility was approximately $13.7 million, based on borrowing base eligibility requirements consisting primarily of the Company’s inventory, accounts receivable and contract asset balances. The revolving credit facility has an annual interest rate equal to 3.00% plus the greater of Term SOFR (as defined in the credit agreement) or 1.50%, and has a maturity date of October 1, 2027.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Term Loan. Surmodics has access to additional draws on the term loan if certain conditions are met. As of December 31, 2023, the outstanding principal on the term loan was $25 million. Additional draws on the term loan may be made in increments of at least $10 million, up to a total of $50 million through December 31, 2024 subject to certain conditions, including having no less than $60 million of core net revenue on a rolling four-quarter basis. An additional tranche of up to $25 million may be available through December 31, 2024 at MidCap’s sole discretion. The credit agreement with MidCap calls for interest-only payments on the term loan over the first four years, which can be extended to five years if certain criteria are met. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap arrangement with Wells Fargo, whereby the initial $25 million borrowing on the term loan’s variable base rate was fixed at 10.205% per annum for the five-year loan term. The term loan has a maturity date of October 1, 2027.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s shelf registration statement with the SEC allows the Company to offer potentially up to $200 million in debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, and other securities or any such combination of such securities in amounts, at prices, and on terms announced if and when the securities are ever offered. This shelf registration statement expires in May 2026.

In fiscal 2024, we anticipate an increase in SG&A expenditures of between $2.0 million and $3.0 million, as well as an increase in capital expenditures. We also anticipate R&D expenses will continue to be significant in fiscal 2024, primarily related to medical device product development, including continued investment in our Pounce and Sublime product platforms. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments, which totaled $35.2 million as of December 31, 2023, together with cash flow from operations and our revolving credit facility and term loans, will provide liquidity sufficient to meet our cash needs and fund our operations and planned capital expenditures for fiscal 2024. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will continue to generate cash flows at historic levels.

Beyond fiscal 2024, our cash requirements will depend extensively on the timing of market introduction and extent of market acceptance of products in our medical device product portfolio, including the SurVeil DCB distributed by Abbott, our exclusive distribution partner for the product. Our long-term cash requirements also will be significantly impacted by the level of our investment in commercialization of our vascular intervention device products and whether we make future corporate transactions. We cannot accurately predict our long-term cash requirements at this time. We may seek additional sources of liquidity and capital resources, including through borrowing, debt or equity financing or corporate transactions to generate cashflow. There can be no assurance that such transactions will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all.

Customer Concentrations

We have agreements with a diverse base of customers and certain customers have multiple products using our technology. Abbott and Medtronic are our largest customers, comprising 27% and 10%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue for fiscal 2023. Abbott and Medtronic each comprised 19% and 10%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

Critical accounting policies are those policies that require the application of management’s most challenging subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties that are sufficiently likely to result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies. For a detailed description of our other critical accounting policies and significant estimates, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

Forward-looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, our strategies for growth, including our ability to sign new license agreements, conduct clinical evaluations, and bring new products to market; the expected duration of limited market evaluations and timing of commercial launches of our products; the development of future products and their anticipated attributes; the period over which deferred revenue related to the Abbott Agreement is expected to be recognized; our plans to evaluate our strategy for further clinical investment in the Sundance DCB; future revenue growth, our longer-term valuation-creation strategy, and our future potential; information about our product pipeline; future gross margins, operating expenses, and capital expenditures; the potential impact of a shift in revenue mix towards sales of medical devices; estimated future amortization expense; expectations regarding operating expenses and their impact on our cash flows; the period over which unrecognized compensation costs is expected to be recognized; research and development plans and expenses; the expected completion timeframe for the TRANSCEND clinical trial; anticipated cash requirements; the intended use of remaining proceeds of our borrowing under the MidCap Credit Agreement; future cash flows and sources of funding, and their ability together with existing cash, and cash equivalents, to provide liquidity sufficient to meet our cash needs and fund our operations and planned capital expenditures for fiscal 2024; statements regarding cash requirements beyond fiscal 2024; expectations regarding capital available under our secured revolving credit facility and secured term loan facilities; expectations regarding the maturity of debt; future impacts of our interest rate swap transactions; our expected interest expense in fiscal 2024 under the credit agreement with MidCap; the impact of potential lawsuits or claims; the potential impact of interest rate fluctuations on our results of operations and cash flows; the impact of potential change in raw material prices, sources of raw materials and our ability to manufacture raw materials ourselves; the potential impact on the Company of currency fluctuations; future income tax (expense) benefit; expected income tax expense and cash taxes to be paid; the likelihood that we will realize the benefits of our deferred tax assets; and the impact of the adoption of new accounting pronouncements. Without limiting the foregoing, words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “possible,” “project,” “will” and similar terminology, generally identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may also represent challenging goals for us. These statements, which represent our expectations or beliefs concerning various future events, are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those of such forward-looking statements. We caution that undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Some of the factors which could cause results to differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statement are set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.

Although it is not possible to create a comprehensive list of all factors that may cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements, such factors include, among others:

1.
ongoing operating losses, interest expense, and failure to generate cash flows from operations, which could impact expected expenditures and investments in growth initiatives;
2.
our reliance on a small number of significant customers, including our largest customers, Abbott and Medtronic, which causes our financial results and stock price to be subject to factors affecting those significant customers and their products, the timing of market introduction of their or competing products, product safety or efficacy concerns and intellectual property litigation impacting such customers, which could adversely affect our growth strategy and the royalties revenue we derive;
3.
our ability to successfully manufacture at commercial volumes our SurVeil DCB products;
4.
our ability to successfully develop, obtain and maintain regulatory approval for, commercialize, and manufacture at commercial volumes our other DCB products;
5.
general economic conditions that are beyond our control, such as the impacts of recessions, inflation, rising interest rates, customer mergers and acquisitions, business investment, changes in consumer confidence, and medical epidemics or pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which negatively impacted our business and results of operations;
6.
our ability to successfully and profitably commercialize our vascular intervention products, including our Pounce Venous Thrombectomy System, through our direct salesforce, or otherwise;
7.
our ability to comply with the terms of our secured revolving credit facility and secured term loan facilities;

27


TABLE OF CONTENTS

8.
the difficulties and uncertainties associated with the lengthy and costly new product development and foreign and domestic regulatory approval processes, such as delays, difficulties or failures in achieving acceptable clinical results or obtaining foreign or FDA marketing clearances or approvals, which may result in lost market opportunities, failure to bring new products to market or postpone or preclude product commercialization by licensees or ourselves;
9.
whether operating expenses that we incur related to the development and commercialization of new technologies and products are effective;
10.
our ability to successfully perform product development activities, the related research and development expense impact, and governmental and regulatory compliance activities, with which we do not have extensive experience;
11.
impairment of goodwill and intangible assets or the establishment of reserves against other assets on our balance sheet;
12.
disruptions to our business from our plan to reduce our use of cash announced in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the failure of such plan to achieve its objectives, or cost and expenses associated with such plan; and
13.
other factors described under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, which you are encouraged to read carefully.

Many of these factors are outside our control and knowledge and could result in increased volatility in period-to-period results. Investors are advised not to place undue reliance upon our forward-looking statements and to consult any further disclosures by us on this subject in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our investment policy requires investments with high credit quality issuers and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. Our investments consist principally of interest-bearing corporate debt securities with varying maturity dates, which generally are less than one year. Because of the credit criteria of our investment policies, the primary market risk associated with these investments is interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2023, we held $11.8 million in available-for-sale debt securities. Therefore, interest rate fluctuations relating to investments would have an insignificant impact on our results of operations or cash flows. Our policy also allows the Company to hold a substantial portion of funds in cash and cash equivalents, which are defined as financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less and may include money market instruments, certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements and commercial paper instruments.

Loans under the Midcap credit agreement bear interest at floating rates tied to Term SOFR. As a result, changes in Term SOFR can affect our results of operations and cash flows to the extent we do not have effective interest rate swap arrangements in place. On October 14, 2022, we entered into a five-year interest rate swap transaction with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. with respect to $25.0 million of notional value of the term loans funded under the MidCap credit agreement. The interest rate swap transaction fixes at 4.455% the one-month Term SOFR portion of interest rate under the $25.0 million initial Term Loan funded such that the interest rate on $25.0 million of the Term Loan will be 10.205% through its maturity. We have no other swap arrangements in place for any other loans under the Midcap credit agreement.

Management believes that a reasonable change in raw material prices would not have a material impact on future earnings or cash flows because the Company’s inventory exposure is not material.

We are exposed to increasing Euro currency risk with respect to our manufacturing operations in Ireland. In addition, the contractual transfer price paid by Abbott for commercial units of our SurVeil DCB product is denominated in Euros. In a period where the U.S. dollar is strengthening or weakening relative to the Euro, our revenue and expenses denominated in Euro currency are translated into U.S. dollars at a lower or higher value than they would be in an otherwise constant currency exchange rate environment. All sales transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars or Euros. We generate royalties revenue from the sale of customer products in foreign jurisdictions. Royalties generated in foreign jurisdictions by customers are converted and paid in U.S. dollars per contractual terms. Substantially all of our purchasing transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars or Euros. To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative financial instruments to hedge the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

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) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, referred to collectively herein as the Certifying Officers, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Certifying Officers concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Certifying Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
