NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Operations and Principles of Consolidation
Cutera, Inc. (“Cutera” or the “Company”) is a global provider of laser and other energy-based aesthetic systems for practitioners worldwide. The Company designs, develops, manufactures, and markets laser and other energy-based product platforms for use by physicians and other qualified practitioners which enable them to offer safe and effective aesthetic treatments to their customers. The Company currently markets the following key system platforms: excel V, excel HR, enlighten, Juliet, Secret RF, truSculpt and xeo. The Company’s systems offer multiple hand pieces and applications, which allow customers to upgrade their systems. The sales of (i) systems, system upgrades and hand pieces (“Systems” revenue); (ii) hand piece refills applicable to Titan, truSculpt 3D and truSculpt iD, as well as single use disposable tips applicable to Juliet, Secret RF (“Consumables” revenue); and (iii) the distribution of third party manufactured skincare products ("Skincare” revenue); and are collectively classified as “Products” revenue. In addition to Products revenue, the Company generates revenue from the sale of post-warranty service contracts, parts, detachable hand piece replacements (except for Titan, truSculpt 3D and truSculpt iD) and service labor for the repair and maintenance of products that are out of warranty, all of which is classified as “Service” revenue.
Headquartered in Brisbane, California, the Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries that are currently operational in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. These subsidiaries market, sell and service the Company’s products outside of the United States.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of June 30, 2018, its results of operations for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2018, and 2017, comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and 2017. The December 31, 2017 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year or any other interim period. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s previously filed audited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 26, 2018.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial Statements and the accompanying notes, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates their estimates, including those related to warranty obligation, sales commission, accounts receivable and sales allowances, valuation of inventories, fair values of goodwill, useful lives of property and equipment, assumptions regarding variables used in calculating the fair value of the Company's equity awards, expected achievement of performance based vesting criteria, fair value of investments, the standalone selling price of the Company's products and services, the customer life and period of benefit used to capitalize and amortize contracts acquisition costs, variable consideration, contingent liabilities, recoverability of deferred tax assets, and effective income tax rates, among others. Management bases their estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company's future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company's future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, continued acceptance of the Company's products, stability of world financial markets, cybersecurity breaches and other disruptions that could compromise the Company’s information or results, management of international activities, competition from substitute products and larger companies, ability to obtain regulatory approval, government regulations, patent and other litigations, ability to protect proprietary technology from counterfeit versions of the Company's products, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals. If the Company fails to adhere to ongoing Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") Quality System Regulation, the FDA may withdraw its market clearance or take other action. The Company's manufacturers and suppliers may encounter supply interruptions or problems during manufacturing due to a variety of reasons, including failure to comply with applicable regulations, including the FDA's Quality System Regulation, equipment malfunction and environmental factors, any of which could delay or impede the Company's ability to meet demand.
Comparability
The Company adopted the new revenue standard effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. Prior period financial statements were not retrospectively restated. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were prepared using an accounting standard that was different than that in effect for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. As a result the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are not directly comparable, nor are the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017.
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” amending revenue recognition guidance and requiring more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amended guidance, herein referred to as Topic 606, is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for public companies effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted the new revenue standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the period presented.
See Note 2 – Revenue Recognition, for additional accounting policy and transition disclosures.
Other Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, "Compensation –Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting". The new guidance changes the accounting for nonemployee awards including: (1) Equity-classified share-based payment awards issued to nonemployees will be measured on the grant date, instead of the previous requirement to remeasure the awards through the performance completion date, (2) For performance conditions, compensation cost associated with the award will be recognized when the achievement of the performance condition is probable, rather than upon achievement of the performance condition, and (3) The current requirement to reassess the classification (equity or liability) for nonemployee awards upon vesting will be eliminated, except for awards in the form of convertible instruments. The new guidance also clarifies that any share-based payment awards issued to customers should be evaluated under ASC 606. The amendments in the new guidance are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted for public companies, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2019. The Company is still currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" (Topic 842), which amends the existing accounting standards for leases. The new standard requires lessees to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet (with the exception of short-term leases). The new standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. The new standard becomes effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The new standard is required to be adopted using the modified retrospective approach and requires application of the new standard at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company finances its fleet of vehicles used by its field sales and service employees and has facility leases. Several of the Company’s customers finance purchases of its system products through third party lease companies and not directly with the Company. The Company does not believe that the new standard will change customer buying patterns or behaviors for its products. The Company will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2019. The Company expects that upon adoption, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities will be recognized in the balance sheet in amounts that will be material.
Note 2. Revenue recognition
The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," on January 1, 2018, applying the modified retrospective method to all contract agreements that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period. A cumulative catch up adjustment was recorded to beginning retained earnings to reflect the impact of all existing arrangements under Topic 606.
Upon adoption of the Topic 606, the Company recorded an increase to retained earnings, net of deferred tax liability of $3.8 million (Note 12) for contracts still in force as of January 1, 2018 for the following items in the first and second quarters of 2018:
● |
$237,000 reduction in deferred revenue balances for the differences in the amount of revenue recognition for the Company’s revenue streams as a result of allocation of revenue based on standalone selling prices to the Company’s various performance obligations. |
● |
$151,000 increase in deferred revenue balances, related to the accretion of financing costs for multi-year post-warranty service contracts for customers who pay more than one year in advance of receiving the service. The Company estimated interest expense for such advance payments under the new revenue standard. |
● |
$210,000 for variable consideration on sale transactions. |
● |
$4.7 million for the capitalization of the incremental contract acquisition costs, such as sales commissions paid in connection with system sales. These contract acquisition costs were capitalized and will be amortized over the period of anticipated support renewals. The Company expensed such costs when incurred under the prior guidance. |
● | $1.2 million deferred tax liability related to the direct tax effect of the ASC 606 adoption. |
The Company’s revenue consists of product and service revenue resulting from the sale of systems, training on the systems, extended service contracts, consumables and other accessories. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when there is a legally enforceable contract between the Company and the customer, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of the contract consideration is probable. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company's system sale arrangements generally contain multiple products and services. For these bundled sale arrangements, the Company accounts for individual products and services as separate performance obligations if they are distinct, which is if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package, and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The Company’s system sale arrangements include a combination of the following performance obligations: The System and software license (considered as one performance obligation), system accessories (hand pieces), training, other accessories, extended service contracts and marketing services. For the Company’s system sale arrangements that include an extended service contract, the period of service commences at the expiration of the Company’s standard warranty offered at the time of the system sale. The Company considers the extended service contracts terms in the arrangements that are legally enforceable to be performance obligations. Other than extended service contracts and marketing services (which are satisfied over time), the Company generally satisfies all of the performance obligations at a point in time. Systems, system accessories (hand pieces), training, and time and material services are also sold on a stand-alone basis.

As part of the Company's adoption of ASC 606, the Company elected to use the following practical expedients: (i) not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between the Company's transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less; (ii) to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less; (iii) not to recast revenue for contracts that begin and end in the same fiscal year; and (iv) not to assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer.
Note 3. Cash, Cash Equivalent and Marketable Investments
The Company invests its cash primarily in money market funds and in highly liquid debt instruments of U.S. federal and municipal governments and their agencies, commercial paper and corporate debt securities. All highly liquid investments with stated maturities of three months or less from date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents; all highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months are classified as marketable investments. The majority of the Company’s cash and investments are held in U.S. banks and its foreign subsidiaries maintain a limited amount of cash in their local banks to cover their short term operating expenses.
The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company’s marketable securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale securities. Investments with remaining maturities of more than one year are viewed by the Company as available to support current operations, and are classified as current assets under the caption marketable investments in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Investments in marketable securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of stockholders’ equity. Any realized gains or losses on the sale of marketable securities are determined on a specific identification method, and such gains and losses are reflected as a component of interest and other income, net.
The following tables summarize the components, and the unrealized gains and losses position, related to the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable investments (in thousands) as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values as of the balance sheet dates because of their generally short maturities. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below in accordance to ASC 820:
● Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities.
● Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable inputs as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data from actively quoted markets for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
● Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
As of June 30, 2018, financial assets measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis and classified under the appropriate level of the fair value hierarchy as described above were as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s Level 1 financial assets are money market funds with fair values that are based on quoted market prices. The Company’s Level 2 investments include U.S. government-backed securities and corporate securities that are valued based upon observable inputs that may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. The average remaining maturity of the Company’s Level 2 investments as of June 30, 2018 is less than 7 months and all of these investments are rated by S&P and Moody’s at A or better. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers within the hierarchy during the quarter and year ended June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Note 6. Warranty and Service Contracts
The Company has a direct field service organization in the U.S. Internationally, the Company provides direct service support through its wholly-owned subsidiaries in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Japan, and Switzerland, as well as through third-party service providers in Spain and the United Kingdom. In several other countries, where the Company does not have a direct presence, the Company provides service through a network of distributors and third-party service providers.
After the original warranty period, maintenance and support are offered on a service contract basis or on a time and materials basis. The Company provides for the estimated cost to repair or replace products under warranty at the time of sale. The following table provides the changes in the product warranty accrual for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

Note 7. Revenue
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods or services. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied either over time or at a point in time. Revenue from performance obligations that are transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately 9% of the Company’s total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
The Company's system sale arrangements generally contain multiple products and services. For these bundled sale arrangements, the Company accounts for individual products and services as separate performance obligations if they are distinct, which is if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package, and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The Company’s system sale arrangements include a combination of the following performance obligations: the system and software license (considered as one performance obligation), system accessories (hand pieces), training, other accessories, extended service contracts and marketing services.
For the Company’s system sale arrangements that include an extended service contract, the period of service commences at the expiration of the Company’s standard warranty offered at the time of the system sale. The Company considers the extended service contracts terms in the arrangements that are legally enforceable to be performance obligations. Other than extended service contracts and marketing services (which are satisfied over time), the Company generally satisfies all of the performance obligations at a point in time. System, system accessories (hand pieces), training, time and material services are also sold on a stand-alone basis, and related performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price of the contract to each performance obligation, on a relative basis using its standalone selling price. The stated contract value is the transaction price to be allocated to the separate performance obligations.
Nature of Products and Services
Systems
System revenue represents the sale of a system or an upgrade of an existing system. A system consists of a console that incorporates a universal graphic user interface, a laser and or other energy based module, control system software and high voltage electronics, as well as one or more hand pieces. However, depending on the application, the laser or other energy based module is sometimes contained in the hand piece such as with the Company’s Pearl and Pearl Fractional applications instead of within the console.
The Company offers customers the ability to select the system that best fits their practice at the time of purchase and then to cost-effectively add applications to their system as their practice grows. This provides customers the flexibility to upgrade their systems whenever they choose and provides us with a source of additional Systems revenue.
The Company has concluded that the system or upgrade and the right to use the embedded software represent a single performance obligation as the software license is integral to the functionality of the system or upgrade.
The Company considers set-up or installation an immaterial promise as set-up or installation for systems other than enlighten systems takes only a short time. The related costs to complete set-up or installation are immaterial to the Company. The enlighten system is one performance obligation and the calibration or installation service is a separate performance obligation.
For systems sold directly to end-customers that are credit approved, revenue is recognized when the Company transfers control to the end-customer, which occurs when the product is shipped to the customer or when the customer receives the product, depending on the nature of the arrangement. The Company recognizes revenue on cash basis for system sales to international direct end-customer sales that have not been credit approved, after satisfying all remaining obligations of the agreement. For systems sold through credit approved distributors, revenue is recognized at the time of shipment. The Company’s system arrangements generally do not provide a right of return. The Company provides a standard one-year warranty coverage for all systems sold to end-customers to cover parts and service, and extended service plans that vary by the type of product and the level of service desired.
The Company typically receives payment for its system consoles and other accessories within 30 days of shipment. Certain international distributor arrangements allow for longer payment terms.
Skincare products
The Company sells third-party manufactured skincare products in Japan. The Company purchases and inventories these third-party skincare products from the manufacturers and sells them to licensed physicians. The Company acts as the principal in this arrangement, as it determines the price to charge customers for the skincare products, and controls the products before they are transferred to the customer. Skincare products are typically sold in contracts in which the skincare products represent the sole performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue for skincare products at a point in time, generally upon shipment.
Consumables (Other accessories)
The Company treats its customers' purchase of replacement Titan, truSculpt 3D and truSculpt iD hand pieces as Consumable revenue, which provides the Company with a source of recurring revenue from existing customers. The Company’s recently launched Juliet and Secret RF products have single use disposable tips which need to be replaced after every treatment. Sale of these consumable tips further enhance the Company’s recurring revenue stream. Hand piece refills of the Company’s legacy truSculpt product are accounted for in accordance with the Company’s standard warranty and service contract policies.
Extended contract services
The Company offers post-warranty services to its customers through extended service contracts that cover preventive maintenance and or replacement parts and labor for a term of one, two, or three years, or by direct billing for detachable hand piece replacements, parts and labor. These post-warranty services serve as additional sources of recurring revenue from the Company’s installed product base. Service revenue is recognized over time as the customers benefit from the service throughout the service period. Revenue related to services performed on a time-and-materials basis is recognized when performed. For the Company's performance obligations recognized over time, revenue is generally recognized using a time-based measure of progress reflecting generally consistent efforts to satisfy those performance obligations throughout the arrangement term.
Training
Sales of system to customers include training on the system to be provided within 90 days of purchase. The Company considers training as a separate performance obligation as customers can immediately benefit from the training due to the fact that the customer already has the system. Training is also sold separately from systems. The Company recognizes revenue for training when the training is provided. Training is not required for customers to use the systems.
Customer Marketing Support
In North America, the Company offers marketing and consulting phone support to its customers who purchase its truSculpt 3D and truSculpt iD systems. These customer marketing support services include a practice development model and marketing training, performed remotely with ongoing phone consultations for six months from date of purchase. The Company considers customer marketing support a separate performance obligation, and allocates and recognizes revenue over the six-month term of support. The Company determines the standalone selling price based on cost plus a margin.
Significant Judgments
More judgments and estimates are required under Topic 606 than were required under the previous revenue recognition guidance, Topic 605. Revenue recognition under Topic 606 for the Company’s arrangements may be dependent on contract-specific terms.
The enlighten system includes the related software license as one performance obligation and the calibration/installation services are accounted for as separate performance obligations. The calibration/installation is a separate performance obligation for the enlighten system because a knowledgeable third-party could perform this service.
The Company has however concluded that set-up or installation for all other systems (excluding the enlighten system) is perfunctory as the set-up or installation for systems other than enlighten take only a short time and the related costs to complete set-up or installation are immaterial.
Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price ("SSP") for each distinct performance obligation. The Company estimates SSPs for each performance obligation as follows:
Systems: The SSPs for systems are based on directly observable sales in similar circumstances to similar customers. When SSP is not directly observable, the Company estimates SSP using the expected cost plus margin approach.
Training: SSP is based on observable price when sold on a standalone basis.
Extended warranty: SSP is based on observable price when sold on a standalone basis (by customer type).
Marketing program: SSP is estimated based on cost plus margin.
The Company will combine two or more contracts entered into at or near the same time with the same customer (or related parties of the customer) and account for the contracts as a single contract. If a group of agreements are so closely related that they are, in effect, part of a single arrangement, such agreements are deemed to be one arrangement for revenue recognition purposes. The Company exercises significant judgment to evaluate the relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether the separate agreements should be accounted for separately or as, in substance, a single arrangement. The Company’s judgments about whether a group of contracts comprise a single arrangement can affect the allocation of consideration to the distinct performance obligations, which could have an effect on results of operations for the periods involved.
The Company is required to estimate the total consideration expected to be received from contracts with customers. In limited circumstances, the consideration expected to be received is variable based on the specific terms of the contract or based on the Company’s expectations of the term of the contract. Generally, the Company has not experienced significant returns or refunds to customers. These estimates require significant judgment and the change in these estimates could have an effect on its results of operations during the periods involved.
Deferred Sales Commissions
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, including sales commissions, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected customer relationship period if the Company expects to recover those costs. The Company uses the portfolio method to recognize the amortization expense related to these capitalized costs related to initial contracts and such expense is recognized over a period associated with the revenue of the related portfolio, which is generally two to three years for the Company’s product and service arrangements.
Total capitalized costs as of June 30, 2018 were $5.3 million and are included in other long-term assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amortization of this asset was $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and is included in sales and marketing expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Note 8. Contract balance
The Company’s service contracts include an upfront payment for the one, two or three-year contract terms. The timing of receipt of payment and timing of performance of the services create timing differences that result in deferred revenue on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The advance payments under these contracts are recorded in deferred revenue, and the Company recognizes the revenue when earned. Contracted but unsatisfied performance obligations were approximately $11.8 million as of June 30, 2018, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 78% of the revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.
The Company's deferred contract revenue consists of service revenue, training and product revenue. Deferred contract revenue balance is comprised mainly of Service revenue. The Company generates Service revenue from the sale of extended service contracts and from time and material services provided to customers who are not under a warranty or extended service contract. Service contract revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the applicable contract. Service revenue from time and material services is recognized as the services are provided.

Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity and Stock-based Compensation Expense
In 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Plan, or 1998 Plan, under which 4,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance to employees, directors and consultants. On January 12, 2004, the Board of Directors adopted the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. A total of 1,750,000 shares of common stock were originally reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, the shares reserved for issuance under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan included shares reserved but un-issued under the 1998 Plan and shares returned to the 1998 Plan as the result of termination of options or the repurchase of shares. In 2012 the stockholders approved a “fungible share” provision whereby each full-value award issued under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan results in a requirement to subtract 2.12 shares from the shares reserved under the Plan.
Activity under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, is summarized as follows:

The Company has a “fungible share” provision in its Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive Plan whereby for each full-value award (RSU/PSU) issued or canceled under the Plan requires the subtraction or add back of 2.12 shares from or to the Shares Available for Grant, respectively. |
Under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, the Company issued 346,279 shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2018, in conjunction with stock options exercised and the vesting of RSUs and PSUs.
As of June 30, 2018, there was approximately $19.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense, net of projected forfeitures, for stock options and stock awards. The expense is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of 2.5 years. The actual expense recorded in the future may be higher or lower based on a number of factors, including, actual forfeitures experienced and the degree of achievement of the performance goals related to the PSUs granted.
Non-Employee Stock-Based Compensation
The Company granted 3,384 RSUs and 3,384 PSUs to non-employees during the six months ended June 30, 2018, and 7,745 stock options and 2,478 RSUs during the year ended December 31, 2017. The stock options vest over 4 years at 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 1/48th each month thereafter. The RSUs vest over 4 years at 25% on each anniversary of the grant date, whiles vesting of the PSUs is subject to the recipient's continued service and achievement of pre-established metrics. These RSUs/PSUs and stock options were granted in exchange for consulting services to be rendered and are measured and recognized as they are earned. The Company revalues stock options granted to non-employees at each reporting date as the underlying equity instruments vest.

Note 10. Net Loss Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. In periods of net income, diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of in-the-money equity awards (stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and employee stock purchase plan contributions), which is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. In accordance with ASC 260, the assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method include the average unrecognized compensation expense of in-the money stock options and restricted stock units. This results in the assumed buyback of additional shares, thereby reducing the dilutive impact of equity awards.
Diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share for the periods in which the Company had a net loss because the inclusion of outstanding common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) and the weighted average number of shares used in computing basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 11. Income Taxes
The Company calculates the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to "ordinary" income or loss (pretax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. When applicable, the year-to-date tax provision reflects adjustments from discrete tax items. The income tax benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 reflect a projected income tax benefit for U.S. and non-U.S. operations resulting in an annual effective tax rate applied to the year-to-date ordinary loss. This tax benefit is increased by excess tax benefits generated by stock deductions exercised or vested in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company's income tax benefit was $712,000 and $3,331,000 respectively, compared to income tax expense of $59,000 and income tax benefit of $59,000 for the same periods in 2017. The income tax benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 include a tax benefit for excess tax deductions of approximately $1.14 million and $2.6 million, respectively, recorded discretely in the reporting period.
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2017, the Company released its valuation allowance against U.S. federal and all other domestic state net deferred tax assets except for California and Massachusetts. The Company maintained this valuation allowance position through June 30, 2018. Significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In evaluating the ability to recover deferred tax assets, the Company considered all available positive and negative evidence. The Company also considered, commensurate with its objective verifiability, the forecast of future taxable income including the reversal of temporary differences, the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies and the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”).
Note 12. Correction of Prior Period Immaterial Error
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, management discovered that the Company had not recorded the tax effect of the adoption of ASC 606 in the balance sheet of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018. Upon adoption of the Topic 606, the Company recorded an increase to retained earnings of $5.0 million for contracts still in force as of January 1, 2018. The tax effect of the 606 adoption was $1.2 million.
The Company evaluated the impact of the error on prior period and determined that the effect was not material to the financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company corrected the error in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The correction of the error increased deferred tax liability by $1.2 million and decreased retained earnings by $1.2 million (Note 2) as of January 1, 2018.
The Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were not affected by this correction of the error. Accordingly, the Company's loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 remains unchanged.
Note 13. Segment reporting
Segment reporting is based on the “management approach,” following the method that management organizes the company’s reportable segments for which separate financial information is made available to, and evaluated regularly by, the chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), who makes decision on allocating resources and in assessing performance. The CEO reviews the Company's consolidated results as one operating segment. In making operating decisions, the CEO primarily considers consolidated financial information, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by geography and product. All of the Company’s principal operations and decision-making functions are located in the U.S. The Company’s CEO viewed its operations, managed its business, and used one measurement of profitability for the one operating segment — which sells aesthetic medical equipment and services, and distributes skincare products, to qualified medical practitioners. Substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the U.S.

In addition to the above facility leases, the Company also routinely leases automobiles for certain sales and field service employees under capital leases. The remaining committed lease payments as of June 30, 2018 was $1.15 million.
Contingencies
The Company is named from time to time as a party to other legal proceeds product liability, commercial disputes, employee disputes, and contractual lawsuits in the normal course of business. A liability and related charge are recorded to earnings in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for legal contingencies when the loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The assessment is re-evaluated each accounting period and is based on all available information, including discussion with outside legal counsel. If a reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss cannot be made, but a range of probable losses can be estimated, the low-end of the range of losses is recognized if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other. If a material loss is reasonably possible, but not probable and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred.
As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had accrued $137,000 and $91,000, respectively related to various pending contractual and product liability lawsuits. The Company does not believe that a material loss in excess of accrued amounts is reasonably possible.
Note 15. Debt
Loan and Security Agreement
On May 30, 2018, the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Revolving Line of Credit”) in the original principal amount of $25,000,000. The Revolving Line of Credit terminates on May 30, 2021. The purpose of the Revolving Line of Credit is to provide working capital and to fund the Company’s general business requirements.
The Revolving Line of Credit bears interest at a variable interest rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus a defined LIBOR Rate Margin based on the then-current Leverage Ratio (a ratio of funded debt to the Trailing Twelve Month ("TTM") Adjusted EBITDA).
The Revolving Line of Credit provides for borrowing limits that range from $5,000,000 to a maximum of $25,000,000 during the term of the Revolving Line of Credit. Additionally, the Company agrees to pay a variable unused commitment fee to Wells Fargo equal to (a) 0.25% per annum if the Leverage Ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0, (b) 0.30% per annum if the Leverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.0 to 1.0, but less than 2.0 to 1.0, and (c) 0.35% per annum if the Leverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 2.0 to 1.0.
The Revolving Line of Credit is secured by a pledge of security interest in all the shares of each material subsidiary, together with all proceeds, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted, and all other cash and noncash proceeds, as security for the performance of the obligations. As of June 30, 2018, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Line of Credit.
Covenants
The Loan and Security Agreement contains financial and other covenants as well as the maintenance of a leverage ratio not to exceed 2.5 to 1.0 and a TTM adjusted EBITDA of not less than $10 million. A violation of any of the covenants could result in a default under the Loan and Security Agreement that would permit the lenders to restrict the Company’s ability to further access the revolving line of credit for loans and letters of credit and require the immediate repayment of any outstanding loans under the Loan and Security Agreement. As of June 30, 2018, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants.

Executive Summary
Company Description
We are a leading medical device company specializing in the research, development, manufacture, marketing and servicing of laser and other energy based aesthetics systems for practitioners worldwide. In addition to internal development of products, we distribute third party sourced products under the Company’s own brand names. We offer easy-to-use products which enable physicians and other qualified practitioners to perform safe and effective aesthetic procedures, including treatment for body contouring, skin resurfacing and rejuvenation, tattoo removal, removal of benign pigmented lesions, vascular conditions, hair removal, toenail fungus and vaginal health. The Company’s platforms are designed to be easily upgraded to add additional applications and hand pieces, which provide flexibility for the Company’s customers as they expand their practices. In addition to systems and upgrade revenue, we generate revenue from the sale of post warranty service contracts, providing services for products that are out of warranty, hand piece refills, and distribution of third-party manufactured skincare products.
The Company’s ongoing research and development activities are primarily focused on improving and enhancing the Company’s portfolio of products. The Company is exploring ways to expand the Company’s product offerings through the launch of new products. The Company introduced Juliet, a product for women’s health, in December 2017, Secret RF, a fractional RF microneedling device for skin rejuvenation, in January 2018, enlighten SR in April 2018, and truSculpt iD in July 2018.
The Company’s corporate headquarters and U.S. operations are located in Brisbane, California, from where the Company conducts manufacturing, warehousing, research and development, regulatory, sales and marketing, service, and administrative activities. The Company markets, sells and services the Company’s products through direct sales and service employees in the U.S., Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Sales and Service outside of these direct markets are made through a worldwide distributor network in over 40 countries.
Products and Services
The Company’s revenue is derived from the sale of Products and Services. Product revenue is derived from the sale of systems, hand pieces and upgrade of systems (“Systems” revenue), sale of replacement hand pieces, as well as single use disposable tips applicable to Juliet, Secret RF (“Consumables” revenue), and the sale of skincare products (“Skincare” revenue). A system consists of a console that incorporates a universal graphic user interface, a laser and/or other energy based module, control system software and high voltage electronics, as well as one or more hand pieces. However, depending on the application, the laser or other energy based module is sometimes contained in the hand piece such as with the Company’s Pearl and Pearl Fractional applications instead of within the console.
The Company offers customers the ability to select the system that best fits their practice at the time of purchase and then to cost-effectively add applications to their system as their practice grows. This provides customers the flexibility to upgrade their systems whenever they choose and provides us with a source of additional Systems revenue.
Skincare revenue relates to the distribution of ZO’s skincare products in Japan.
The Company’s primary system platforms include: excel V, excel HR, enlighten, Juliet, Secret RF, truSculpt and xeo.
Service revenue relates to amortization of prepaid service contracts, training, enlighten installation, direct billings for detachable hand piece replacements and revenue for parts and labor on out-of-warranty products.
Significant Business Trends
The Company believes that the ability to grow revenue will be primarily dependent on the following:
● |
continuing to expand the Company’s product offerings, both through internal development and sourcing from other vendors; |
● |
ongoing investment in the Company’s global sales and marketing infrastructure; |
● |
use of clinical results to support new aesthetic products and applications; |
● |
enhanced luminary development and reference selling efforts (to develop a location where Company’s products can be displayed and used to assist in selling efforts); |
● |
customer demand for the Company’s products; |
● |
strengthening against the U.S. dollar of key international currencies in which we transact (e.g. Australian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Euro, Swiss Franc and British Pound); |
● |
consumer demand for the application of the Company’s products; |
● |
marketing to physicians in the core dermatology and plastic surgeon specialties, as well as outside those specialties; and |
● |
generating recurring revenue from the Company’s growing installed base of customers through the sale of system upgrades, services, hand piece refills, skincare products and replacement tips for Juliet and Secret RF products. |
For a detailed discussion of the significant business trends impacting the Company’s business, please see the section titled “Results of Operations” below.
Factors that May Impact Future Performance
The Company’s industry is impacted by numerous competitive, regulatory and other significant factors. The Company’s industry is highly competitive and the Company’s future performance depends on the Company’s ability to compete successfully. Additionally, the Company’s future performance is dependent upon the ability to continue to expand the Company’s product offerings with innovative technologies, obtain regulatory clearances for the Company’s products, protect the proprietary technology of the products and manufacturing processes, manufacture the products cost-effectively, and successfully market and distribute the products in a profitable manner. If the Company fails to execute on the aforementioned initiatives, the Company’s business would be adversely affected. A detailed discussion of these and other factors that could impact the Company’s future performance are provided in (1) Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, (2) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, (3) the Company’s reports and registration statements filed and furnished from time to time with the SEC, and (4) other announcements the Company makes from time to time.
Critical accounting policies, significant judgments and use of estimates
The Company's management discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s income tax benefit was $712,000 and $3,331,000, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $59,000 and income tax benefit of $59,000 for the same periods in 2017. In the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company calculated the provision for income taxes for interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the "annual effective tax rate" for the full year to ordinary income or loss for the reporting period. The Company’s income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2018 reflects a projected income tax benefit for U.S. and non-U.S. operations resulting in an annual effective tax rate applied to the year-to-date ordinary loss. The income tax benefit includes excess tax benefits generated by stock deductions exercised or vested in the six months ended June 30, 2018.
For the Company’s income tax provision in the six months ended June 30, 2017, the tax benefit was primarily related to projected U.S. alternative minimum taxes and income taxes from non-U.S. operations. The income tax benefit resulted from applying the annual effective tax rate by the year-to-date ordinary loss. The projected income tax reflected utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. However, the tax effect of such utilization was offset by a change in valuation allowance for the six months ended June 30, 2017 condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates. The Company based the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 26, 2018 with the SEC. With the exception of the change in revenue recognition as a result of the adoption of ASC Topic 606, (see Notes 2 and 7) there have been no new or material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, that are of significance, or potential significance to the Company.

Revenue
The Company primarily generates revenue from the sale of systems, training on the systems, extended service contracts, consumables and other accessories. The timing of the Company’s revenue is significantly affected by the mix of system products, installation, training, consumables and extended contract services. The revenue generated in any given period is also impacted by whether the revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, upon completion of delivery. For an additional description on revenue, see Note 2 in the notes to consolidated financial statements on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and Notes 2 and 7 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2018, approximately 9% of the Company’s revenue is recognized over time, and the remainder of the revenue is recognized upon completion of delivery. Revenue recognized over time relates to revenue from the Company’s extended service contracts and customer marketing support. Revenue recognized upon delivery is primarily generated by the sales of system, consumables and skincare.
During the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2018, the Company recognized revenue based on the ASU No.2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” but revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was recognized based on Topic 605. Therefore, the periods are not directly comparable. For additional information on the impact of the new accounting standard on the Company’s revenue, see Notes 2 and 7 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s cost of revenue consists primarily of material, personnel expenses, product warranty costs, and manufacturing overhead expenses.
Gross margins in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased by 5% and 4% respectively, compared to the same period in 2017. In each of the three and six month periods, a higher percentage of product revenue came from our distributor network in Rest of the World. Reduced gross margins were due primarily to:
● |
In the three months ended June 30, 2018, Rest of World product revenue generated from distributors increased to 65% from 50% for the same period in 2017; |
● | In the six months ended June 30, 2018, Rest of World product revenue generated from distributors increased to 60% from 49% for the same period in 2017; |
● | Slightly lower average system pricing across the legacy portfolio. The Company experienced continued pricing pressure on the average selling price of the Company’s enlighten system due to ongoing sales programs and normal business activities; and |
● |
Reduction in margins due to increased warranty related expenses for the Company’s system platforms that are more complex and have a higher material cost than the Company’s legacy products. |

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s income tax benefits were $712,000 and $3,331,000, compared to income tax expense of $59,000 and income tax benefits of $59,000 in the same periods in 2017. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company calculated the provision for income taxes for interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the "annual effective tax rate" for the full year to ordinary income or loss for the reporting period. The Company’s income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 reflect a projected income tax benefit for U.S. and non-U.S. operations resulting in an annual effective tax rate applied to the year-to-date ordinary loss. The income tax benefit includes excess tax benefits generated by stock deductions exercised or vested in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
The income tax provision (benefit) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 related primarily to U.S. alternative minimum taxes as the Company was able to utilize the net operating losses brought forward against the Company’s projected income for fiscal year 2017. In addition, the Company recorded discretely the net tax benefit of excess equity compensation costs (“windfalls”) of approximately $59,000 and $110,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the measurement of the Company’s ability to meet potential cash requirements, fund the planned expansion of the Company’s operations and acquire businesses. The Company’s sources of cash include operations, sales and maturity of marketable investments, stock option exercises, and employee stock purchases. The Company actively manages the cash usage and investment of liquid cash to ensure the maintenance of sufficient funds to meet the Company’s daily needs. The majority of the Company’s cash and investments are held in U.S. banks and the Company’s foreign subsidiaries maintain a limited amount of cash in their local banks to cover their short-term operating expenses.
At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $41.2 million and $45.1 million of working capital, respectively, and the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable investments totaled $29.0 million and $35.9 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 respectively. The Company’s combined cash and cash equivalents and marketable investments balance decreased by $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 principally due to the settlement of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, increased inventory purchases related to the increasing demand of the Company’s products, and an increase in investments in sales, service and other management headcount to facilitate continued revenue expansion. The following table summarizes the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable investments:
