2021 Annual Report

“  Throughout this unpredictable 
time, Integra colleagues showed 
tremendous resilience and 
perseverance in serving our 
customers and patients.”

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

By  all  measures,  2021  was  a  successful  year  for  Integra  LifeSciences.  Throughout  this  unpredictable 
time,  Integra  colleagues  showed  tremendous  resilience  and  perseverance  in  serving  our  customers 
and patients, and in moving our company forward. Our manufacturing facilities remained operational, 
producing life-saving products and technologies. Our field sales teams continued to ramp up customer 
visits  to  support  health  care  providers  as  surgical  procedures  resumed.  Most  importantly,  colleagues 
around the world stayed true to our mission and values and put our customers and patients first. 

Our success last year would not have been possible if not for the outstanding contributions of our 3,700 
colleagues around the globe. 

In  2021,  our  full-year  revenues  were  more  than  $1.54  billion,  with  organic  growth  exceeding  14% 
compared to 2020, and 4.6% compared to 2019.  We saw strong recovery across most of our product 
lines despite COVID-19 setbacks, a result of  the critical nature of our products – products and solutions 
that play a crucial role in improving the quality of people’s lives. 

Codman Specialty Surgical (CSS) revenues grew to $1.025 billion in 2021, representing 15% organic growth fueled by recovery 
in our neurosurgery and instruments businesses, as well as new product introductions. Our Tissue Technologies revenues were 
$517  million,  representing  12.6%  organic  growth.  This  increase  was  attributed  to  growth  in  sales  in  wound  reconstruction, 
primarily led by Integra® skin and SurgiMend® products in our burn, trauma, and surgical reconstruction markets, as well as 
demand  recovery  in  our  private-label  business.  Additionally,  the  ACell  business,  which  we  acquired  in  early  2021,  stabilized 
during the fourth quarter and we are positioned for accelerated growth in 2022.  

Sales in our international business also rebounded and grew 15% organically compared to 2020, primarily led by the markets in 
China and Japan.

THE STRENGTH OF OUR DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO

Over the last several years, we have optimized our product and business portfolio, divesting or eliminating low-growth and low-
profitability assets as we focused on segments where we have long-term competitive advantages. The business recovery across 
our geographies and product lines demonstrates the strength of our diversified portfolio. 

Last year, the company reached an important inflection point following the completion of the extremity orthopedics divestiture 
and  the  acquisition  of  ACell,  a  regenerative  medical  technology  company  specializing  in  porcine-based  urinary  bladder 
matrix technologies. These key portfolio actions sharpened our focus on two primary business segments: neurosurgery and 
regenerative tissue technologies, where we have a deep pipeline of new products to sustain market growth and expansion in 
the coming years. 

For example, we launched CereLink® ICP Monitoring  System,  our next-generation  intracranial  pressure monitor,  in  the  U.S., 
Canada,  and  Europe.  This  new  technology  was  a  key  contributor  to  the  growth  of  CSS  last  year.  Additionally,  we  continue 
to benefit from steady product launches over the past few years, particularly in the areas of dural repair, cerebrospinal fluid 
management and tissue ablation in Japan, Canada and several indirect markets. 

We also advanced our clinical programs and regulatory submissions to drive our product pipeline. We began the phased market 
release of the Aurora® Surgiscope® system for clinical evaluation.  Aurora is a novel and proprietary, minimally invasive surgical 
solution with integrated visualization and surgical capabilities designed specifically for use in neurosurgery. Initial feedback has 
been encouraging and reinforces our optimism around this product offering. We also launched our MIRROR registry in 2021, 
which will collect data on the use of Aurora for early surgical intervention in the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage.

In addition, we announced positive clinical outcomes for PriMatrix® Dermal Repair Scaffold for management of diabetic foot 
ulcers,  demonstrating  significant  clinical  results  against  the  standard  of  care.  Also,  in  August,  we  submitted  our  premarket 
approval (PMA) application for SurgiMend® PRS Acellular Bovine Dermal Matrix for use as soft tissue support in post-mastectomy 
breast reconstruction.  We continue to work with the FDA as it completes its review of our PMA submission. We firmly believe 
there is an urgent clinical need for an FDA-approved acellular dermal matrix to help restore quality of life for women following 
post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. 

We also continued to invest in our facility expansion to ensure ongoing product supply and to optimize our manufacturing 
footprint. We completed a substantial portion of the manufacturing transfer of the Codman portfolio from Johnson & Johnson 
to our Mansfield, Mass., facility, and we are on track to complete the requisite product transfers to another existing location as 
we wind down our facility in the south of France by the end of 2022.    

REINFORCING OUR CULTURE AND LEADERSHIP

The  success  we  accomplished  this  past  year  reflects  Integra’s  competitive  strength  –  our  people.  Since  I  started  with  the 
company, I have been continually impressed with the dedication and talent of our teams. Their focus on our customers and 
patients is truly remarkable. 

 
At Integra, diversity and inclusion are not merely words, but a reflection of real values and actions. Despite the storm clouds of the 
COVID-19 pandemic, we continued to advance our diversity and inclusion efforts through various initiatives. We steadily increased 
the  number  of  women  in  senior  leadership.  Managers  continued  to  develop  capabilities  by  participating  in  microinequities 
training, and our employee resource groups – African American Affinity Group, Women of Integra Networks, Veterans Group, Asian 
American Pacific Islander Network, and Indian American Group – remain actively engaged in nurturing an inclusive workplace. 
These efforts contributed to Integra’s being named in Comparably’s Best Diversity Companies of 2021. 

We built on the talents of our team when we welcomed Susan Krause to executive leadership as our vice president overseeing 
global quality. Susan brings extensive leadership experience in all aspects of quality, compliance, design assurance, supplier quality, 
operations, and manufacturing engineering. We also strengthened our board of directors with the appointment of Shaundra Clay, 
global vice president of finance at Beam Suntory, Inc. Shaundra is a seasoned senior executive with a proven record of achievement 
in finance and strategy across diverse industries.

AN EXCITING PATH FORWARD

While  we  are  proud  of  our  many  achievements  last  year,  the  lingering  effects  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  remain  and  have 
caused significant supply chain disruptions and staffing shortages in hospitals and in our manufacturing facilities at the start 
of 2022. While this poses a challenge in the near term, we remain optimistic our recovery will continue as procedures increase.  
More importantly, the resilience and focus our teams have shown during these uncertain times give me confidence we will navigate 
through future opportunities and challenges successfully.  

There has never been a more exciting time to be at Integra. We have built a solid foundation for sustainable, profitable growth 
based on four key vectors. First, our product portfolio of neurosurgical and tissue technologies solutions is our core strength, 
built on years of commercial and operational experience and differentiated technology. Second, our current innovation pipeline 
provides significant near- to mid-term opportunities to expand our accessible market. Third, we have significant untapped mid- to 
long-term opportunities to further expand our international scale and leverage our product platforms to provide digitally enabled 
business propositions. Finally, our solid track record for identifying and integrating synergistic acquisitions will further strengthen 
our business portfolio. These four catalysts will fuel our growth, now and into the foreseeable future.

I want to thank our board of directors, executive and senior leadership, and Integra colleagues for their warm welcome and for 
facilitating my transition into the role of CEO. I am thrilled to be leading this organization, with its strong legacy, value-laden 
culture, and long-term possibilities. Integra has a sound business platform with significant potential. It will be my focus – and  
honor – to  lead our team as we become a driving force in shaping care pathways. 

On  behalf  of  the  Integra  leadership  team  and  our 
colleagues around the world,  thank you for your support. 
I look forward to working alongside this team as we chart 
our exciting path forward to deliver even greater outcomes 
for  surgeons  and  their  patients,  while  building  a  valued 
business for our colleagues and shareholders. 

Sincerely,

Jan De Witte
President and Chief Executive Officer

MANY BIRTHDAYS  
TO COME: ANJOLIE

Anjolie  De  La  Rosa  was  a  happy,  carefree  teenager. 
However, she had been experiencing neck stiffness 
and tension headaches for over a year. Her doctors 
prescribed different medications, which helped ease 
her symptoms and allowed her to enjoy her life with 
family and friends. 

Only  weeks  after  celebrating  her  quinceañera,  the 
15-year-old  suffered  a  severe  seizure  and  found 
herself unable to speak or move. A CAT scan revealed 
a  tumor  the  size  of  an  orange  was  growing  in 
between the left and right frontal lobes of Anjolie’s 
brain.  She  was  immediately  sent  to  St.  Joseph 
Children’s  Hospital  in  Tampa,  Fla.,  where  pediatric 
neurosurgeon  Dr.  Abilash  Haridas  and  his  team 
created a surgical and care plan tailored specifically 
for Anjolie. 

In  addition  to  the  tumor  being  large,  it  was  also 
comprised of tough tissue, which made the removal 
more  complex.  The  CUSA®  Clarity  ultrasonic  tissue 
ablation system was a perfect solution, with its ability 
to  remove  fibrous  tissue  quickly  and  safely.  The 
power and precision of CUSA Clarity removes tough 
tissue 160% faster than the leading competitor.*

After two surgeries, which totaled over 14 hours of 
operating time, the tumor was successfully removed 
in  its  entirety  and  was  found  to  be  benign.  While 
her recovery was slow in the beginning, Anjolie was 
determined to regain her independence and return 
to participating in the activities she loved. Six weeks 
after  the  tumor  removal,  she  was  walking,  talking, 
and back in school with her classmates.

With  her  family  by  her  side,  Anjolie  has  celebrated 
three birthdays since her surgery. She will graduate 
from  high  school  in  2022  and  is  currently  working 
at  a  local  amusement  park.  “I  am  so  thankful  for 
everything  I’ve  been  able  to  experience  since  my 
recovery,” said Anjolie. 

CODMAN SPECIALTY SURGICAL 
HIGHLIGHTS

•  Represents 66 percent of total revenues

•  Grew to $1.025 billion in 2021, representing 15 percent 

organic growth 

•  Consists of two key segments: neurosurgical solutions  

and surgical instruments

The  Codman  Specialty  Surgical  (CSS)  segment  represents  market-
leading  technologies  and  instrumentation  that  are  used  in  a  wide 
range  of  specialties,  such  as  neurosurgery,  neurocritical  care  and 
otolaryngology. 

Codman’s  deep  history  as  a  trusted  brand  is  backed  by  its  proven 
record  of  providing  high-quality  and  reliable  leading  brands  in 
neurosurgery,  such  as  DuraGen®  dural  graft  matrix  and  DuraSeal® 
dural sealant system for repair and sealing; CUSA® Clarity ultrasonic 
surgical  aspiration  system  for  tissue  debulking  in  tumor  cases; 
CUSA® Excel ultrasonic surgical aspiration system for liver resection; 
MAYFIELD® device for cranial stabilization and fixation; and Certas® 
Plus programmable valves for the treatment of hydrocephalus. 

New  product  introductions  and  a  robust  product  pipeline  are  key 
growth  drivers  for  the  CSS  business.  In  the  third  quarter  of  2021, 
we  launched  the  CereLink®  ICP  monitoring  system  in  the  U.S. 
and  internationally.  We  remain  enthusiastic  about  the  prospects 
of  this  new  product  introduction,  which  provides  clinicians  with 
uncompromised, advanced, and continuous ICP monitoring that until 
now, has not been available for treating patients with traumatic brain 
injuries. 

LIVING A MEANINGFUL 
LIFE: SNOW

Growing  up,  Snow  Tseng 
loved  the  outdoors. 
He  enjoyed  hiking,  swimming  and  playing  golf. 
Unfortunately, his active lifestyle drastically declined 
when  he  was  diagnosed  with  a  brain  tumor  while 
pursuing  his  graduate  degree  in  Chicago,  Ill.  Over 
time,  Snow  developed  symptoms  from  the  brain 
tumor such as slurred speech, hearing loss, impaired 
vision and hydrocephalus.  

As  a  husband,  father  and  university  professor 
living  in  Taipei,  Taiwan,  Snow  found  it  increasingly 
difficult to enjoy a normal life as his hydrocephalus 
symptoms  worsened.  His 
implanted  valve  was 
approximately 20 years old and was not functioning 
properly.  Its  functionality  was  severely  outdated. 
Suddenly one day, the shunt clogged and rendered 
Snow unconscious. He was taken to an emergency 
room to immediately address the shunt malfunction. 

Dr.  Robert  Hsin-Hung  Chen,  neurosurgeon  at 
Taipei  Veterans  General  Hospital,  has  been  Snow’s 
surgeon  for  over  two  decades.  Always  closely 
monitoring Snow’s MRIs, Dr. Chen knew he needed 
a  valve  that  could  help  manage  the  severity  of 
Snow’s  hydrocephalus  symptoms,  with  the  hope 
of  improving  his  quality  of  life.  Understanding 
that  valve  technology  had  evolved  greatly  since 
Snow’s first implant, Dr. Chen turned to the Certas® 
Plus  programmable  valve,  a  device  that  provides 
intraventricular  pressure  and  drainage 
constant 
of  cerebrospinal  fluid  for  the  management  of 
hydrocephalus.    In  addition,  the  programmable 
valve  is  designed  to  minimize  unintended  setting 
changes from magnetic interference1,2,3 and 3T MRI 
machines.4 †

Since his Certas Plus implant surgery, Snow has noted 
a significant reduction in the number of headaches 
he  experiences.  “Luckily,  the  programmable  shunt 
gives  me  more  freedom,  and  we  have  the  option 
to  adjust  the  shunt  pressure  from  outside  without 
needing  brain  surgery,”  said  Snow.  “To  me,  as  a 
patient, that’s a huge plus.” 

Last  year,  we  began  the  phased  market  release  of  the  Aurora® 
Surgiscope®  system  for  clinical  evaluation.  Aurora  is  a  novel  and 
proprietary, minimally invasive surgical (MIS) solution with integrated 
visualization and surgical capabilities, designed specifically for use in 
neurosurgery.  Initial  feedback  has  been  encouraging  and  reinforces 
our optimism around this product offering. We also further expanded 
our MIRROR registry, which is intended to collect data on the use of 
Aurora  to  remove  intracerebral  hemorrhage  (ICH)  volume  during  a 
minimally invasive neurosurgical procedure.

The MIS brain tumor opportunity is more near term with a relatively 
established market in place. The ICH opportunity is more nascent and 
requires regulatory approvals and market development to fully realize 
its potential. The next two years will be heavily focused on creating 
the  clinical  data  needed  to  support  the  value  proposition  for  this 
product. 

Additionally, we have made significant investments to sustain clinical 
leadership  in  areas  such  as  CSF  leak  prevention  and  advanced  EVD 
catheter  and  shunt  technology,  to  name  a  few.  A  great  example  of 
such  leadership  is  our  Bactiseal®  antimicrobial  catheter,  which  was 
featured in the BASICS trial, a multicenter trial sponsored by the NIH 
in  the  U.K.  The  authors  of  this  study  concluded  that  antimicrobial 
catheters reduced infection by 62%, which in turn resulted in a cost 
savings of £35,753 per infection.**

FROM TRAGEDY TO 
TRIUMPH: JALEN

One  weekend  in  2016,  20-year-old  Army  National 
Guardsman 
Jalen  Richardson  and  his  buddies 
were  heading  toward  downtown  Atlanta  on  their 
motorcycles.  As  they  exited  the  roadway,  another 
motorcycle  careened  toward  Jalen,  hitting  him  and 
rupturing  his  gas  tank.  With  gasoline  leaking  onto 
the road and onto Jalen, the tank burst into flames.

Jalen  was  rushed  to  Emory  University’s  Grady 
Memorial Hospital Marcus Trauma Center in Atlanta, 
Ga. What he thought was a minor mishap needing 
only adhesive bandages turned out to be far worse 
than he imagined. Two months later, he woke from a 
coma with his left forearm amputated and his body 
covered in burns. 

Vital  to  Jalen’s  recovery  was  Dr.  Juvonda  Hodge, 
assistant  medical  director  at  the  Grady  Memorial 
Hospital Burn Center. Dr. Hodge pushed Jalen toward 
recovery, even during his darkest moments when he 
wanted to give up. As part of his treatment, Dr. Hodge 
used Integra® Dermal Regeneration Template, which 
consists of two layers: a thin silicone film to protect 
the wound from infection and to control both heat 
and moisture loss, and a second, porous inner layer 
to act as a scaffold for regenerating dermal skin cells. 
Once dermal skin has regenerated, the silicone outer 
layer is removed and replaced with a thin epidermal 
skin graft.

“You have to have a good foundation is what I always 
say,” Dr. Hodge explains. “Integra gives you a great 
foundation  to  start  grafting  on  top  of  that.”  Now 
years past the accident, she is impressed with Jalen’s 
lack of hypertrophic scars and the suppleness of his 
new skin. 

Jalen  is  now  back  with  his  unit  of  the  Georgia 
National Guard. “I understand the great role Integra 
played in the rejuvenation of my skin,” recalls Jalen, 
who continues to live life to the fullest.

In March 2021, we marked the 25th anniversary of the U.S. approval of 
the Integra® Dermal Regeneration Template (IDRT) for the treatment 
of life-threatening burns. This regulatory milestone – the first approval 
for inducing regeneration of dermal tissue – was a pivotal moment for 
Integra  after  more  than  two  decades  of  research.  Since  introducing 
IDRT,  we  have  expanded  our  portfolio  to  include  a  broad  range 
of  products  and  technologies  for  the  treatment  of  acute  wounds, 
chronic wounds, complex hernia and abdominal wall reconstructions, 
peripheral nerve repair and protection, and tendon repair.  

 
 
SECOND CHANCES: JAMES

In  January  2020,  James  Brownfield  was  helping  his 
friend  finish  loading  and  securing  equipment  on 
an 18-wheel tractor-trailer. As James turned around 
to  check  traffic,  the  same  tractor-trailer  ended  up 
hitting  him,  causing  him  to  fall.  As  he  lay  on  the 
ground,  he  saw  its  tires  coming  toward  him  and 
remembers  thinking  he  was  about  to  experience  a 
tragedy. 

James was immediately airlifted to the Moses Cone 
Trauma  Center  in  Greensboro,  N.C.  His  prognosis 
was  grim.  He  had  suffered  severe  leg,  abdominal  
and  other  internal  injuries,  plus  multiple  fractures  
to his pelvis. He lost the skin on the full left side of 
his  body  and  on  his  entire  buttocks.  He  also  could 
not feel his left lower leg or foot. 

Based  on  the  nature  of  James’  wounds,  Dr.  Claire 
Dillingham,  the  chief  of  plastic  surgery  at  Moses 
Cone Memorial Hospital, made the decision to use 
MicroMatrix®  Powder  and  Cytal®  Wound  Matrix 
sheets. 

MicroMatrix Powder and Cytal Wound Matrix 3-Layer 
are  both  intended  for  management  of  wounds, 
including  partial-  and 
full-thickness  wounds, 
pressure  ulcers,  venous  ulcers,  diabetic  ulcers, 
chronic  vascular  ulcers, 
tunneled/undermined 
wounds, surgical wounds (donor sites/grafts, post-
Mohs  surgery,  post-laser  surgery,  podiatric,  wound 
dehiscence), trauma wounds (abrasions, lacerations, 
second-degree  burns,  skin  tears),  and  draining 
wounds.  These  devices  are  intended  for  one-time 
use. 

The combination of MicroMatrix and Cytal facilitates 
rapid  tissue  formation  because  the  urinary  bladder 
matrix  technology  in  both  is  a  non-crosslinked 
scaffold,  allowing  for  rapid  reabsorption  while 
facilitating cellular infiltration. 

“Dr.  Dillingham  is  a  miracle  worker,”  said  James. 
“There were angels that night and they were there 
to save me.”

During the year, we achieved several product milestones to deepen 
our  tissue  technologies  portfolio.  We  added  key  products  to  our 
portfolio  with  the  acquisition  of  ACell,  a  regenerative  technology 
company  specializing  in  porcine  bladder  matrix  technology.  These 
complementary products – Cytal®  Wound Matrix, Gentrix®  Surgical 
Matrix, and MicroMatrix® Powder – provide health care practitioners 
expanded  complex  wound  management  solutions  and  complex 
hernia solutions to address more clinical challenges and needs.

While  we  experienced  slower  revenue  growth  than  originally 
expected,  we  are  confident  in  our  long-term  plans  for  ACell  thanks 
to  how  strongly  ACell  products  fit  within  our  regenerative  tissue 
portfolio.

In July, the results of a prospective, randomized, controlled trial of our 
PriMatrix®  Dermal  Repair  Scaffold  for  management  of  hard-to-heal 
diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) were published in the Journal of Wound 
Care.  This  multi-center  study  found  that  PriMatrix  plus  standard  of 
care (SOC) demonstrated statistically and clinically significant results. 
The  combination  with  PriMatrix  healed  more  DFUs  in  12  weeks 
compared to SOC alone. 

In  August,  we  submitted  our  premarket  approval  (PMA)  application 
for  SurgiMend®  PRS  Acellular  Bovine  Dermal  Matrix  for  use  as 
soft  tissue  support  in  post-mastectomy  breast  reconstruction.  We 
also  participated  in  a  U.S.  FDA  panel  meeting  to  discuss  the  use  of 
SurgiMend in the United States and we will continue to work with the 
FDA as it completes review of our PMA submission. 

INTERNATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

•  Represents 29 percent of total revenues

•  Grew 15 percent organically to $453 million, led by Japan 

and China

•  Codman Specialty Surgical products and technologies 

account for 85 percent of international sales

The  international  business  continues  to  be  an  important 
growth driver. Acquiring the Codman Neurosurgery business 
significantly  expanded  our  global  footprint,  which  we 
have  leveraged  by  introducing  new  products  and  adding 
commercial  resources.  In  turn,  this  has  strengthened  our 
international  infrastructure  and  attracted  top  talent.  As  a 
result, our international performance has been strong and is 
well-positioned to sustain growth. 

Across geographies, our business recovered from the effects of 
COVID-19 in 2021. Of note, Japan and China have consistently 
led  our  international  growth  over  the  past  several  years  and 
have established market-leading positions. 

In Japan, we have strengthened and broadened our portfolio 
through steady product launches since 2019, especially in the 
areas  of  dural  repair,  CSF  management  and  tissue  ablation. 
We have complemented these new product introductions by 
expanding our sales team, adding clinically focused specialists, 
and focusing on professional education. 

In  China,  our  growth  has  been  primarily  driven  by  market 
development and expansion into Tier 2 and 3 markets, such 
as Hefei of Anhui province and Kunming of Yunnan province. 

Our  expansion  has  been  led  by    our  best-in-class  market 
access and professional education capabilities. We are also 
actively  targeting  locally  sourced  products  to  supplement 
our  existing  portfolio  and  have  entered  into  our  second 
Product of Local Origin (POLO) business arrangement.

Additionally, our other markets showed signs of recovery in 
2021, fueled by new product introductions and the recovery 
of  hospital  procedures.  Apart  from  the  CereLink®  ICP 
Monitoring launch in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia, 
we  received  regulatory  approval  for  both  the  Codman® 
Bactiseal®  EVD  and  Codman  Bactiseal  shunt  catheters  in 
India.  The  launch  of  these  antimicrobial  product  offerings 
will fulfill an unmet clinical need in this large and important 
market.

In  Canada,  we  have  consistently  seen  growth  three  times 
higher  than  the  market.  Since  2020,  the  ongoing  launch 
of differentiating products has solidified high market share 
within  our  neurosurgery  business.  Moreover,  highlighting 
the  economic  value  of  our  specialized  portfolio  has  driven 
Canada’s success in winning procurement tenders.

OVERVIEW 

PART I 

The  terms  “we,”  “our,”  “us,”  “Company”  and  “Integra”  refer  to  Integra  LifeSciences  Holdings  Corporation,  a  Delaware 
corporation, and its subsidiaries, unless the context suggests otherwise.

The Company, headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, is a world leader in medical technology. The Company was founded in 
1989  with  the  acquisition  of  an  engineered  collagen  technology  platform  used  to  repair  and  regenerate  tissue.  Since  then, 
Integra has developed numerous product lines from this technology for applications ranging from burn and deep tissue wounds 
to  the  repair  of  dura  mater  in  the  brain,  as  well  as  nerves  and  tendons.  The  Company  has  expanded  its  base  regenerative 
technology  business  to  include  surgical  instruments,  neurosurgical  products  and  advanced  wound  care  through  global 
acquisitions and product development to meet the evolving needs of its customers and enhance patient care.

Integra products are sold in more than 130 countries through a direct sales force as well as distributors and wholesalers. We 
manufacture  and  sell  medical  technologies  and  products  in  two  reportable  business  segments:  Codman  Specialty  Surgical 
("CSS")  and  Tissue  Technologies  ("TT").  The  CSS  segment,  which  represents  two-thirds  of  our  total  revenue,  consists  of 
market-leading technologies and instrumentation used for a wide range of specialties, such as neurosurgery, neurocritical care 
and  otolaryngology.  We  are  the  world  leader  in  neurosurgery  and  one  of  the  top  three  providers  in  instruments  used  in 
precision,  specialty,  and  general  surgical  procedures.  Our  TT  segment  generates  about  one-third  of  our  overall  revenue  and 
focuses on three main areas: complex wound surgery, surgical reconstruction, and peripheral nerve repair.

We have key manufacturing and research facilities located in California, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, 
Puerto  Rico,  Tennessee,  Utah,  Canada,  China,  France,  Germany,  Ireland  and  Switzerland.  We  source  most  of  our  handheld 
surgical instruments and dural sealant products through specialized third-party vendors.

Vision

We  aspire  to  continue  to  be  a  worldwide  leader  in  neurosurgery  and  reconstructive  surgery  with  a  portfolio  of  leading 
businesses that delivers outstanding customer experiences through innovation, execution and teamwork to positively impact the 
lives of millions of patients and their families.

Strategy

Integra  is  committed  to  delivering  high  quality  products  that  positively  impact  the  lives  of  millions  of  patients  and  their 
families. We focus on four key pillars of our strategy: 1) enabling an execution-focused culture, 2) optimizing relevant scale, 3) 
advancing  innovation  and  agility,  and  4)  leading  in  customer  experience.  We  believe  that  by  sharpening  our  focus  on  these 
areas through improved planning and communication, optimization of our infrastructure, and strategically aligned acquisitions, 
we can build scale, increase competitiveness and achieve our long-term goals.

To this end, the executive leadership team has established the following key priorities aligned to the following areas of focus:

Strategic Acquisitions. An important part of the Company's strategy is pursuing strategic transactions and licensing agreements 
that  increase  relevant  scale  in  the  clinical  areas  in  which  Integra  competes.  During  2021,  the  Company  acquired  ACell  Inc. 
("ACell"),  an  innovative  regenerative  medicine  company  specializing  in  the  manufacturing  of  porcine  urinary  bladder 
extracellular matrices. This acquisition not only expanded the Company’s product offering of regenerative technologies, but it 
also supported the Company’s long-term growth and profitability strategy as this product line has a financial profile similar to 
Integra’s  other  regenerative  tissue  products.  All  critical  components  of  ACell  have  been  integrated  into  the  Company’s  TT 
segment. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this 
Form 10-K) for additional details. In 2021, we continued to advance the development of pioneering neurosurgical technologies 
from our 2019 acquisitions, Arkis Biosciences, Inc. and Rebound Therapeutics Corporation. 

Portfolio Optimization and New Product Introductions. We are investing in innovative product development to drive a multi-
generational  pipeline  for  our  key  product  franchises.  Our  product  development  efforts  span  across  our  key  global  franchises 
focused on potential for significant returns on investment. In addition to new product development, we are funding studies to 
gather  clinical  evidence  to  support  launches,  ensure  market  access  and  improve  reimbursement  for  existing  products.  In 
addition  to  acquisitions  and  organic  reinvestment,  we  continually  look  to  optimize  our  portfolio  towards  higher  growth  and 
higher margin businesses. As such, we may opportunistically divest businesses or discontinue products where we see limited 
runway for future value creation in line with our aspirations due in part to changes in the market, business fundamentals or the 
regulatory environment.

In January 2021, we completed the sale of our Extremity Orthopedics business to Smith & Nephew USD Limited ("Smith & 
Nephew"), a subsidiary of Smith & Nephew plc, for approximately $240 million in cash. This transaction enables us to increase 

4

our  investments  in  our  core  neurosurgery  and  tissue  technologies  businesses  and  fund  pipeline  opportunities  to  expand  our 
addressable  markets  to  strengthen  our  existing  leadership  positions  in  these  segments  and  drive  future  growth.  See  Note  4, 
Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for details.

Commercial  Channel  Investments.  Investing  in  our  sales  channels  is  a  core  part  of  our  strategy  to  create  specialization  and 
greater focus on reaching new and existing customers and addressing their needs. To support our commercial efforts in Tissue 
Technologies,  we  expanded  our  two-tier  specialist  model  to  increase  our  presence  in  focused  segments  by  creating  a  virtual 
selling organization to help serve the evolving needs of our customers. In addition, we continue to build upon our leadership 
brands across our product franchises in both CSS and TT to engage customers through enterprise-wide contracts with leading 
hospitals,  integrated  delivery  networks  and  global  purchasing  organizations  in  the  United  States.  Internationally,  we  have 
increased  our  commercial  resources  significantly  in  key  emerging  markets  and  are  making  investments  to  support  our  sales 
organization and maximize our commercial opportunities. These investments in our international sales channel position us well 
for expansion and long-term growth. 

Customer Experience. We aspire to be ranked as a best-in-class provider and are committed to strengthen our relationships with 
all customers. We continue to invest in technologies, systems and processes to enhance the customer experience. Additionally, 
we launched digital tools and programs, resources and virtual product training to drive continued customer familiarity with our 
growing portfolio of medical technologies globally.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Integra  currently  manufactures  and  sells  our  products  and  technologies  in  the  following  two  global  reportable  business 
segments:  Codman  Specialty  Surgical  and  Tissue  Technologies.  We  include  financial  information  regarding  our  reportable 
business  segments  and  certain  geographic  information  under  "Item  7.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations", Note 16, Segment and Geographic Information to the Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K).

Codman Specialty Surgical

The Codman Specialty Surgical business consists of a broad portfolio of market-leading brands, such as Codman®, DuraGen®, 
DuraSeal®, CUSA®, Mayfield® and Bactiseal®, which are used for the management of multiple disease states, including brain 
tumors, traumatic brain injury, hydrocephalus and other neurological conditions. The growth in this business in the recent years 
has been fueled by geographic expansion and new product registrations in markets, such as China, Japan, and Europe, which we 
expect to continue in the near to long term. 

We also expanded our product offerings in 2021 with the launch of our new intracranial pressure ("ICP") monitoring system, 
CereLink™  in  the  U.S.  and  Europe.  It  provides  clinicians  with  advanced  continuous  ICP  monitoring  that  until  now,  has  not 
been available when treating patients with traumatic brain injuries

Moreover,  we  are  expanding  into  minimally  invasive  surgery  ("MIS")  and  the  surgical  management  of  intracerebral 
  Surgiscope®,  a  proprietary  surgical  solution  with  integrated 
hemorrhages  ("ICH"),  with  the  2021  clinical  launch  of  Aurora®
visualization and capabilities designed specifically for use in deep-seated brain lesions. We started gathering clinical evidence 
using  this  same  technology  for  early  surgical  intervention  for  the  treatment  of  ICH.  We  believe  this  technology  offers  the 
promise of transforming the standard of care in neurosurgery. 

Rounding out the portfolio is a catalog of surgical headlamps and surgical instrumentation, as well as after-market service. With 
thousands of surgical instrument products, including specialty surgical instruments, we call on the central sterile processing unit 
of  hospitals  and  acute  care  surgical  centers.  Additionally,  through  a  strong  U.S.  distribution  model,  we  serve  the  needs  of 
hundreds of medical offices.

Our  global  commercial  network  includes  clinical  specialists,  a  large  direct  global  sales  force  and  strategic  partnerships  and 
distributors  that  serve  hospitals,  integrated  health  networks,  group  purchasing  organizations,  clinicians,  surgery  centers  and 
health care providers.

Tissue Technologies

Following the sale of the Extremity Orthopedics business in the first quarter of 2021, we rebranded the Orthopedics and Tissue 
Technologies  segment  as  Tissue  Technologies.  See  Note  4,  Acquisitions  and  Divestitures,  to  the  Notes  to  Consolidated 
Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for details. 

The Tissue Technologies segment consists of four unique regenerative technology areas - highly engineered bovine collagen, 
bovine dermis, porcine urinary bladder, and human amniotic tissue. This broad regenerative platform, which includes multiple 
leading  brands  such  as  Integra®  Dermal  Matrices,  AmnioExcel®,  SurgiMend®,  MicroMatrix®  and  NeuraGen®,  primarily 
addresses the needs of plastic, reconstructive and general surgeons focused on the treatment of acute wounds, such as burns, 

5

chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, and surgical tissue repair, such as hernia, tendon, peripheral nerve repair and 
protection. 

We have a specialized sales organization composed of directly employed sales representatives, as well as specialty distributors, 
organized based upon their call point. Our wound reconstruction sales representatives call on surgeons doing procedures in limb 
salvage, trauma, wound reconstruction and burns, chronic wounds primarily in the inpatient wound care clinic setting. We also 
have a dedicated surgical reconstruction sales team focused on plastic and reconstructive surgery and hernia procedures with 
differentiated products. Finally, we have a distributor network focused on biologics. Outside the U.S., we have a combination of 
direct and indirect sales channels in international markets to sell certain product lines. 

This  business  segment  also  includes  private-label  sales  of  a  broad  set  of  our  regenerative  and  wound  care  technologies.  Our 
customers are other medical technology companies that sell to end markets primarily in spine, surgical and wound care.

We anticipate new product introductions and new clinical indications will continue to contribute to the growth of the segment. 
In the third quarter of 2021, we filed the premarket approval application for a specific indication for SurgiMend in the use of 
post-mastectomy breast reconstruction, for which we hope to obtain FDA approval in 2023.

COMPETITION

Our competitors for CSS are Medtronic, Inc., Stryker Corporation, Becton Dickinson and Company and Aesculap, a division of 
B.  Braun  Medical,  Inc.  In  addition,  we  compete  with  many  smaller  specialized  companies  and  larger  companies  that  do  not 
otherwise focus on the offerings of Codman Specialty Surgical technologies. We rely on the depth and breadth of our sales and 
marketing  organization,  our  innovative  technologies,  and  our  procurement  and  manufacturing  operations  to  maintain  our 
competitive position.

Our  competition  in  TT  includes  Smith  &  Nephew  plc,  Organogenesis  Holdings  Inc.,  MiMedx  Group,  Inc.,  LifeCell 
Corporation, a subsidiary of Allergan PLC, C.R. Bard, a subsidiary of Becton Dickinson and Company, and Axogen, Inc. We 
compete with many additional companies who partially participate in soft tissue reconstruction of complex wounds, peripheral 
nerve repair and surgical reconstruction.

In addition, our products also compete against medical practices that treat a condition without using a medical device or any 
particular product, such as medical practices that utilize autograft tissue instead of our dermal regeneration products, duraplasty 
products and nerve repair products. Depending on the product line, we compete based on our products' features, strength of our 
sales force or distributors, sophistication of our technology and cost effectiveness of our solution.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 

Our research and development activities focus on identifying unmet surgical needs and addressing those needs with innovative 
solutions  and  products.  We  apply  our  core  competency  in  regenerative  technology  to  innovate  products  for  neurosurgical, 
wound  applications,  plastic  surgery,  and  reconstructive  surgery  and  we  have  extensive  R&D  development  programs  for  our 
core platforms of electromechanical technologies. Additionally, we conduct products and clinical studies to generate efficacy 
and health economic evidence.

Regenerative Technologies. Integra was the first Company to receive a United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") 
claim  for  regeneration  of  dermal  tissue  and  is  a  world  leader  in  regenerative  technology.  Because  regenerative  technology 
products represent a fast-growing, high-margin opportunity for us, we allocate a large portion of our research and development 
budget to these projects. Our regenerative technology development program applies our expertise in bioengineering to a range 
of  biomaterials  including  natural  collagen  and  human  tissues  as  well  as  synthetics  such  as  polymers.  These  unique  product 
designs are used for neurosurgical and orthopedic surgical applications, as well as dermal regeneration, including the healing of 
chronic and acute wounds, tendon and nerve repair. Our regenerative technology platform includes our legacy Integra® Dermal 
Regeneration  Template  ("IDRT")  products  and  complementary  technologies  that  we  have  acquired.  Our  collagen 
manufacturing capability, combined with our history of innovation, provides us with strong platform technologies for multiple 
indications. 

In 2020, we announced positive clinical and economic data on Integra® Bilayer Wound Matrix ("IBWM") in complex lower 
extremity  reconstruction  based  on  two  retrospective  studies  recently  published  in  Plastic  and  Reconstructive  Surgery,  the 
official journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. As surgeons look for ways to efficiently and effectively repair and 
close wounds, IBWM helps address the efficiency needed in operating rooms by reducing both the operating time and costs to 
hospitals and patients. In 2021, we completed one of the largest diabetic foot ulcers ("DFU"), randomized controlled trials of 
the PriMatrix® Dermal Repair Scaffold for the management of DFU. This multi-center study enrolled more than 225 patients 
with chronic DFU's over the course of 12-week treatments and 4-week follow-up phases. The results of this study, which was 
published  in  the  Journal  of  Wound  Care,  demonstrated  that  PriMatrix  plus  standard  of  care  ("SOC")  consisting  of  sharp 
debridement, infection elimination, use of dressings and offloading was significantly more likely to achieve complete wound 
closure compared with SOC alone, with a median number of one application of the product.

Electromechanical  Technologies  and  Instrumentation.  Because  our  electromechanical  products  and  instruments  address 
significant  needs  in  surgical  procedures  and  limit  uncertainty  for  surgeons,  we  continue  to  invest  in  approvals  for  new 
indications and next generation improvements to our market-leading products. We have several active programs focused on life 
cycle  management  and  innovation,  for  capital  and  disposable  products  in  our  portfolio.  Our  product  development  efforts  are 
focused on core clinical applications in CSF management, neuro-critical care monitoring, minimally invasive instruments and 
electrosurgery and ultrasonic medical technologies, as well as our ambition to transform the standard of care in neurosurgery 
with product advancements in MIS and ICH. Our lighting franchise is among the most dynamic in the industry. 

The Company benefitted from our product launches from prior years, including our new electrosurgery generator and irrigator 
system,  an  innovative  customer-centric  toolkit  for  our  CertasTM  Plus  Programmable  Valve  along  with  additional  shunt 
configurations. In Japan, we are experiencing strong growth as a result of the successful launch of DuraGen in mid-2019, which 
is the first and only collagen xenograft approved for use as a dural substitute in the country. We are focused on the development 
of  core  clinical  applications  in  our  electromechanical  technologies  portfolio.  Also,  we  continue  to  update  our  CUSA  Clarity 
platform  by  incorporating  new  ultrasonic  handpiece,  surgical  tips  and  integrated  electrosurgical  capabilities.  We  continue  to 
work with several instrument partners to bring new surgical instrument platforms to the market. 

In  the  third  quarter  of  2021,  we  launched  our  CereLink  ICP  Monitor  System  in  the  U.S.  and  Europe.  CereLink  provides 
enhanced  accuracy,  usability  and  advanced  data  presentation  that  provides  clinicians  with  uncompromised,  advanced 
continuous ICP monitoring that until now, has not been available when treating patients with traumatic brain injuries.

In 2021, we continued to advance the early-stage technology platforms we acquired in 2019. Through the acquisition of Arkis 
Biosciences,  we  added  a  platform  technology,  CerebroFlo®  external  ventricular  drainage  ("EVD"),  catheter  with  Endexo® 
technology,  a  permanent  additive  designed  to  reduce  the  potential  for  catheter  obstruction  due  to  thrombus  formation.  The 
CerebroFlo EVD Catheter has demonstrated an average of 99% less thrombus accumulation onto its surface, in vitro, compared 
to a market leading EVD catheter. In 2019, we also acquired Rebound Therapeutics, a Company that specialized in single-use 
medical device, known as Aurora Surgiscope, which is the only tubular retractor system designed for cranial surgery with an 
integrated  access  channel,  camera  and  lighting.  In  the  third  quarter  of  2021,  we  conducted  a  limited  clinical  launch  of  the 
Aurora Surgiscope for use in minimally invasive neurosurgery as well as initiated a registry called MIRROR to collect data on 
early surgical intervention using this same technology platform for the treatment of ICH.

RESOURCES

In  general,  raw  materials  essential  to  our  businesses  are  readily  available  from  multiple  sources.  For  reasons  of  quality 
assurance, availability, or cost effectiveness, certain components and raw materials are available only from a sole supplier. Our 
practice is to maintain sufficient inventory of components so that our production will not be significantly disrupted even if a 
particular component or material is not available for a period of time.

Certain  of  our  products,  including  but  not  limited  to  our  dermal  regeneration  products,  duraplasty  products,  wound  care 
products,  and  nerve  and  tendon  repair  products,  contain  material  derived  from  bovine  tissue.  We  take  great  care  to  provide 
products  that  are  safe  and  free  of  agents  that  can  cause  disease.  In  particular,  the  collagen  used  in  the  products  that  we 
manufacture  is  derived  from  the  deep  flexor  tendon  of  cattle  less  than  24  months  old  from  New  Zealand,  a  country  that  has 
never had a reported case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy ("BSE") (otherwise known as mad cow disease), from the U.S. 
or from fetal bovine dermis. The World Health Organization classifies different types of cattle tissue for relative risk of BSE 
transmission.  Deep  flexor  tendon  and  fetal  bovine  skin  are  in  the  lowest-risk  category  for  BSE  transmission,  and  therefore 
considered to have a negligible risk of containing the agent that causes BSE.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 

We seek patent and trademark protection for our key technology, products and product improvements, both in the U.S. and in 
selected  foreign  countries.  When  determined  appropriate,  we  have  enforced  and  plan  to  continue  to  enforce  and  defend  our 
patent and trademark rights. In general, however, we do not rely solely on our patent and trademark estate to provide us with 
any significant competitive advantages as it relates to our existing product lines. We also rely upon trade secrets and continuing 
technological innovations to develop and maintain our competitive position. In an effort to protect our trade secrets, we have a 
policy  requiring  our  employees,  consultants  and  advisors  to  execute  proprietary  information  and  invention  assignment 
agreements  upon  commencement  of  employment  or  consulting  relationships  with  us.  These  agreements  also  provide  that  all 
confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of their relationship with us must be kept 
confidential, except in specified circumstances.

SEASONALITY 

Revenues during our fourth quarter tend to be stronger than other quarters because many hospitals increase their purchases of 
our products during the fourth quarter to coincide with the end of their budget cycles in the U.S. In general, our first quarter 
usually has lower revenues than the preceding fourth quarter, the second and third quarters have higher revenues than the first 
quarter,  and  the  fourth  quarter  revenues  are  the  highest  in  the  year.  The  main  exceptions  to  this  pattern  occur  because  of 
material acquisitions as well as impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on our business

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company's focus remained on supporting patients, providing customers with life-saving 
products, and protecting the well-being of our employees. The rapid and evolving spread of the virus and subsequent variants 
have resulted in unprecedented challenges to the global healthcare industry. In response to the pandemic, we acted swiftly by 
implementing protocols to ensure continuity of our manufacturing and distribution sites around the world and to provide for the 
safety of our employees. 

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have widespread and unpredictable impacts and the Company has continued to manage 
risks in this uncertain environment. We remain confident that the underlying markets in which the Company competes remain 
attractive. We also remain focused on managing the business for the long-term. The Company's adaptability and resiliency in 
the face of this unprecedented crisis is made possible in part by prior investments in technology infrastructure and operations, as 
well as our talented and committed global workforce.

Capital markets and worldwide economies have also been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible 
that the pandemic could cause a local and/or global economic recession. Any such economic recession could have a material 
adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  long-term  business  as  hospitals  curtail  and  reduce  capital  as  well  as  overall  spending.  The 
COVID-19 pandemic and local actions, such as “shelter-in-place” orders and restrictions on travel and access to our customers 
or temporary closures of our facilities or the facilities of our suppliers and their contract manufacturers, disruption and/or higher 
costs to the Company’s supply chain, staffing shortages in hospitals and labor constraints in our facilities, could further impact 
our sales, margins and our ability to ship our products and supply our customers. Any of these events could negatively impact 
the  number  of  surgical  and  medical  intervention  procedures  performed  and  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business, 
financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Information pertaining to risk factors as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic can be found in Item 1A. Risk Factors of this 
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND COMPLIANCE

We are a manufacturer and marketer of medical devices and Human Tissue and Cell Based Products ("HCT/Ps") and therefore 
are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA, the Center for Medicare Services of the U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services, other federal governmental agencies and, in some jurisdictions, by state and foreign governmental authorities. These 
regulations govern the introduction of new medical devices and HCT/Ps, the observance of certain standards with respect to the 
design,  manufacture,  testing,  labeling,  promotion  and  sales  of  the  products,  the  maintenance  of  certain  records,  the  ability  to 
track devices, the reporting of potential product defects, the import and export of products, and other matters. 

8

United States Food and Drug Administration

The  regulatory  process  for  obtaining  product  approvals  and  clearances  can  be  onerous  and  costly.  The  FDA  requires,  as  a 
condition  to  marketing  a  medical  device  in  the  U.S.,  that  we  secure  a  Premarket  Notification  clearance  pursuant  to 
Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the "FD&C Act"), or an approved premarket approval ("PMA"), 
application (or supplemental PMA application). Obtaining these approvals and clearances can take up to several years and may 
involve  preclinical  studies  and  clinical  trials.  The  FDA  also  may  require  a  post-approval  clinical  study  as  a  condition  of 
approval. To perform clinical trials for significant risk devices in the U.S. on an unapproved product, we are required to obtain 
an  Investigational  Device  Exemption  from  the  FDA.  The  FDA  also  may  require  a  filing  for  approval  prior  to  marketing 
products  that  are  modifications  of  existing  products  or  new  indications  for  existing  products.  Moreover,  after  clearance/
approval is given, if the product is shown to be hazardous or defective, the FDA and foreign regulatory agencies have the power 
to withdraw the clearance or approval, as the case may be, or require us to change the device, its manufacturing process or its 
labeling, to supply additional proof of its safety and effectiveness or to recall, repair, replace or refund the cost of the medical 
device.  Because  we  currently  export  medical  devices  manufactured  in  the  U.S.  that  have  not  been  approved  by  the  FDA  for 
distribution in the U.S., we are required to obtain approval/registration in the country to which we are exporting and maintain 
certain records relating to exports and make these available to the FDA for inspection, if required. 

Human Cells, Tissues and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products 

Integra, through the acquisition of Derma Sciences and BioD LLC ("BioD"), is involved with the recovery, processing, storage, 
transportation and distribution of donated amniotic tissue. The FDA has specific regulations governing HCT/Ps. An HCT/P is a 
product containing, or consisting of, human cells or tissue intended for transplantation into a human patient. Examples of HCT/
Ps include bone, ligament, skin and cornea. 

Some HCT/Ps fall within the definition of a biological product, medical device or drug regulated under the FD&C Act. These 
biologic, device or drug HCT/Ps must comply both with the requirements exclusively applicable to HCT/Ps and, in addition, 
with requirements applicable to biologics, devices or drugs, including premarket clearance or approval from the FDA. 

Section  361  of  the  Public  Health  Service  Act  ("Section  361")  authorizes  the  FDA  to  issue  regulations  to  prevent  the 
introduction, transmission or spread of communicable disease. HCT/Ps regulated as “361” HCT/Ps are subject to requirements 
relating to registering facilities and listing products with the FDA, screening and testing for tissue donor eligibility, and Good 
Tissue Practices when processing, storing, labeling, and distributing HCT/Ps, including required labeling information, stringent 
record keeping, and adverse event reporting. 

The American Association of Tissue Banks ("AATB") has issued operating standards for tissue banking. Compliance with these 
standards is a requirement in order to become an AATB-accredited tissue establishment. In addition, some states have their own 
tissue banking regulations. We are licensed or have permits for tissue banking in California, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, New 
York, Oregon, and Tennessee. In Tennessee, we are registered with the FDA Center for Biological Evaluations and Research.

Procurement  of  certain  human  organs  and  tissue  for  transplantation  is  subject  to  the  restrictions  of  the  National  Organ 
Transplant  Act,  which  prohibits  the  transfer  of  certain  human  organs,  including  skin  and  related  tissue  for  valuable 
consideration,  but  permits  the  reasonable  payment  associated  with  the  removal,  transportation,  implantation,  processing, 
preservation, quality control and storage of human tissue and skin. BioD, our wholly-owned subsidiary, is a registered Tissue 
Bank and is involved with the recovery, storage and transportation of donated human amniotic tissue.

On June 22, 2015, the FDA issued an Untitled Letter (the "Untitled Letter") alleging that BioD's morselized amniotic membrane 
tissue-based products do not meet the criteria for regulation as HCT/Ps solely under Section 361  and that, as a result, BioD 
would need a biologics license to lawfully market those morselized products. Since the issuance of the Untitled Letter, BioD 
and the Company have made known to the FDA their disagreement with the FDA’s assertion that certain products are more 
than minimally manipulated. The FDA has not changed its position that certain of the BioD acquired products are not eligible 
for  marketing  solely  under  Section  361.  In  July  2020,  the  FDA  issued  the  final  guidance  document  related  to  human  tissue 
titled, “Regulatory Considerations for Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products: Minimal Manipulation 
and  Homologous  Use”  (the  “2020  HCT/P  Final  Guidance”).  The  2020  HCT/P  Final  Guidance  document  supersedes  the 
November 2017 guidance by the same title.

The HCT/P Final Guidance maintains the FDA’s position that products such as the Company’s morselized amniotic membrane 
tissue-based products do not meet the criteria for regulation solely as HCT/Ps. In addition, in the November 2017 guidance, the 
FDA  articulated  a  risk-based  approach  to  enforcement  and,  while  some  uses  for  amniotic  membrane  tissue-based  products 
would  have  as  much  as  thirty-six  months  of  enforcement  discretion,  other  high  risk  uses  could  be  subject  to  immediate 
enforcement  action.  The  2020  HCT/P  Final  Guidance  maintained  this  approach  and  extended  the  discretionary  enforcement 
period to May 31, 2021.

9

Considering the risk of enforcement action, the Company discontinued the manufacturing of all morselized amniotic membrane 
tissue-based products prior to May 31, 2021. We no longer distribute these products. As of December 31, 2021, the Company 
has not received any further notice of enforcement action from the FDA regarding its morselized amniotic membrane tissue-
based products.

Revenues  from  the  now  discontinued  BioD  morselized  amniotic  membrane-based  products  for  the  year  ended  December  31, 
2021 were less than 1.0% of consolidated revenues. 

Medical Device Regulations

We also are required to register with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer. As such, our manufacturing sites are subject to 
periodic inspection by the FDA for compliance with the FDA's Quality System Regulations. These regulations require that we 
manufacture our products and maintain our documents in a prescribed manner with respect to design, manufacturing, testing 
and  control  activities.  Further,  we  are  required  to  comply  with  various  FDA  requirements  and  other  legal  requirements  for 
labeling and promotion. If the FDA believes that a company is not in compliance with applicable regulations, it may issue a 
warning letter, institute proceedings to detain or seize products, issue a recall order, impose operating restrictions, enjoin future 
violations  and  assess  civil  penalties  against  that  company,  its  officers  or  its  employees  and  may  recommend  criminal 
prosecution  to  the  U.S.  Department  of  Justice.  All  Integra  manufacturing  facilities  participate  in  the  Medical  Device  Single 
Audit Program and are audited annually for compliance with the Quality System for US FDA, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and 
Japan.

Medical  device  regulations  also  are  in  effect  in  many  of  the  countries  in  which  we  do  business  outside  the  U.S.  These  laws 
range  from  comprehensive  medical  device  approval  and  Quality  System  requirements  for  some  or  all  of  our  medical  device 
products to simpler requests for product data or certifications. Under the European Union Medical Device Directive, medical 
devices  must  meet  the  Medical  Device  Directive  standards  and  receive  CE  Mark  Certification  prior  to  marketing  in  the 
European Union ("EU"). In addition, the EU enacted the EU Medical Device Regulation, which imposes stricter requirements 
on the marketing and sales of medical devices including but not limited to quality systems, labeling and clinical data. CE Mark 
Certification  requires  a  comprehensive  quality  system  program,  technical  documentation,  clinical  evaluation  and  data  on  the 
product,  which  are  then  reviewed  by  a  Notified  Body.  A  Notified  Body  is  an  organization  designated  by  the  national 
governments of the EU member states to make independent judgments about whether a product complies with the requirements 
established by each CE marking directive. The Medical Device Directive, Medical Device Regulation, ISO 9000 series and ISO 
13485  are  recognized  international  quality  standards  that  are  designed  to  ensure  that  we  develop  and  manufacture  quality 
medical  devices.  Other  countries  are  also  instituting  regulations  regarding  medical  devices  or  interpreting  and  enforcing 
existing regulations more strictly. Compliance with these regulations requires extensive documentation and clinical reports for 
our  products,  revisions  to  labeling,  and  other  requirements  such  as  facility  inspections  to  comply  with  the  registration 
requirements. A recognized Notified Body audits our facilities annually to verify our compliance with the ISO 13485 Quality 
System standard. 

Certain countries, as well as the EU, have issued regulations that govern products that contain materials derived from animal 
sources.  Regulatory  authorities  are  particularly  concerned  with  materials  infected  with  the  agent  that  causes  BSE.  These 
regulations  affect  our  dermal  regeneration  products,  duraplasty  products,  hernia  repair  products,  biomaterial  products  for  the 
spine, nerve and tendon repair products and certain other products, all of which contain material derived from bovine tissue. 
Although we take great care to provide that our products are safe and free of agents that can cause disease, products that contain 
materials  derived  from  animals,  including  our  products,  may  become  subject  to  additional  regulation,  or  even  be  banned  in 
certain  countries,  because  of  concern  over  the  potential  for  prion  transmission.  Significant  new  regulations,  a  ban  of  our 
products,  or  a  movement  away  from  bovine-derived  products  because  of  an  outbreak  of  BSE  could  have  a  material,  adverse 
effect  on  our  current  business  or  our  ability  to  expand  our  business.  See  “Item  1A.  Risk  Factors  -  Certain  of  our  products 
contain  materials  derived  from  animal  sources  and  may  become  subject  to  additional  regulation”  of  this  Annual  Report  on 
Form 10-K.

Postmarket Requirements. After a device is cleared or approved for commercial distribution, numerous regulatory requirements 
apply.  These  include  the  FDA  Quality  System  Regulations  which  cover  the  procedures  and  documentation  of  the  design, 
testing, production, control, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, sterilization, storage and shipping of medical devices; the 
FDA's  general  prohibition  against  promoting  products  for  unapproved  or  'off-label'  uses;  the  Medical  Device  Reporting 
regulation, which requires that manufacturers report to the FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or 
serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to recur; and 
the Reports of Corrections and Removals regulation, which require manufacturers to report recalls and field corrective actions 
to the FDA if initiated to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the FD&C Act. Postmarket 
requirements  are  also  followed  globally  where  our  products  are  registered  and  approved.  These  foreign  jurisdictions  have 
similar requirements to the FDA which include reporting requirements such as adverse events and recalls.

10

Other regulations

Anti-Bribery Laws. In the U.S., we are subject to laws and regulations pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including anti-
kickback  laws  and  physician  self-referral  laws  that  regulate  the  means  by  which  companies  in  the  health  care  industry  may 
market their products to hospitals and health care professionals and may compete by discounting the prices of their products. 
Similar anti-bribery laws exist in many of the countries in which we sell our products outside the U.S., as well as the United 
States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (which addresses the activities of U.S. companies in foreign markets). Our products also 
are  subject  to  regulation  regarding  reimbursement,  and  U.S.  healthcare  laws  apply  when  a  customer  submits  a  claim  for  a 
product  that  is  reimbursed  under  a  federally  funded  healthcare  program.  These  global  laws  require  that  we  exercise  care  in 
designing  our  sales  and  marketing  practices,  including  interactions  with  healthcare  professionals,  and  customer  discount 
arrangements.  See  “Item  1A.  Risk  Factors  -  We  are  exposed  to  a  variety  of  risks  relating  to  our  international  sales  and 
operations” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.

Import-export.  Our  international  operations  subject  us  to  laws  regarding  sanctioned  countries,  entities  and  persons,  customs, 
and  import-export.  Among  other  things,  these  laws  restrict,  and  in  some  cases  can  prevent,  U.S.  companies  from  directly  or 
indirectly selling goods, technology or services to people or entities in certain countries. In addition, these laws require that we 
exercise care in our business dealings with entities in and from foreign countries. 

Hazardous materials. Our research, development and manufacturing processes involve the controlled use of certain hazardous 
materials.  We  are  subject  to  country-specific,  federal,  state  and  local  laws  and  regulations  governing  the  use,  manufacture, 
storage,  handling  and  disposal  of  these  materials  and  certain  waste  products.  We  believe  that  our  environmental,  health  and 
safety procedures for handling and disposing of these materials comply with the standards prescribed by the controlling laws 
and  regulations.  However,  risk  of  accidental  releases  or  injury  from  these  materials  is  possible.  These  risks  are  managed  to 
minimize or eliminate associated business impacts. In the event of this type of accident, we could be held liable for damages 
and  face  a  liability  that  could  exceed  our  resources.  We  could  be  subject  to  a  regulatory  shutdown  of  a  facility  that  could 
prevent the distribution and sale of products manufactured there for a significant period of time, and we could suffer a casualty 
loss that could require a shutdown of the facility in order to repair it, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our 
business.  Although  we  continuously  strive  to  maintain  full  compliance  with  respect  to  all  applicable  global  environmental, 
health and safety laws and regulations, we could incur substantial costs to fully comply with future laws and regulations, and 
our operations, business or assets may be negatively affected. Furthermore, global environmental, health and safety compliance 
is an ongoing process. Integra has compliance procedures in place for compliance with Employee Health & Safety laws, driven 
by  a  centrally  led  organizational  structure  that  ensures  proper  implementation,  which  is  essential  to  our  overall  business 
objectives. 

In addition to the above regulations, we are, and may be, subject to regulation under country-specific federal and state laws, 
including, but not limited to, requirements regarding record keeping, and the maintenance of personal information, including 
personal  health  information.  As  a  public  Company,  we  are  subject  to  the  securities  laws  and  regulations,  including  the 
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We also are subject to other present and could be subject to possible future, local, state, federal 
and foreign regulations. 

Third-Party Reimbursement. Healthcare providers that purchase medical devices generally rely on third-party payors, including, 
in  the  U.S.,  the  Medicare  and  Medicaid  programs  and  private  payors,  such  as  indemnity  insurers,  employer  group  health 
insurance programs and managed care plans, to reimburse all or part of the cost of the products. As a result, demand for our 
products is and will continue to be dependent in part on the coverage and reimbursement policies of these payors. The manner 
in  which  reimbursement  is  sought  and  obtained  varies  based  upon  the  type  of  payor  involved  and  the  setting  in  which  the 
product  is  furnished  and  utilized.  Reimbursement  from  Medicare,  Medicaid  and  other  third-party  payors  may  be  subject  to 
periodic  adjustments  as  a  result  of  legislative,  regulatory  and  policy  changes,  as  well  as  budgetary  pressures.  Possible 
reductions in, or eliminations of, coverage or reimbursement by third-party payors, or denial of, or provision of uneconomical 
reimbursement for new products may affect our customers' revenue and ability to purchase our products. Any changes in the 
healthcare  regulatory,  payment  or  enforcement  landscape  relative  to  our  customers'  healthcare  services  have  the  potential  to 
significantly affect our operations and revenue. 

Data  Privacy  and  Cybersecurity  Laws  and  Regulations.  As  a  business  with  a  significant  global  footprint,  compliance  with 
evolving  regulations  and  standards  in  data  privacy  and  cybersecurity  (relating  to  the  confidentiality  and  security  of  our 
information technology systems, products such as medical devices, and other services provided by us) may result in increased 
costs, lower revenue, new complexities in compliance, new challenges for competition, and the threat of increased regulatory 
enforcement  activity.  Our  business  relies  on  the  secure  electronic  transmission,  storage  and  hosting  of  sensitive  information, 
including  personal  information,  financial  information,  intellectual  property,  and  other  sensitive  information  related  to  our 
customers and workforce.

For example, in the U.S., the collection, maintenance, protection, use, transmission, disclosure and disposal of certain personal 
information and the security of medical devices are regulated at the U.S. federal and state, and industry levels. U.S. federal and 

11

state laws protect the confidentiality of certain patient health information, including patient medical records, and restrict the use 
and  disclosure  of  patient  health  information  by  health  care  providers.  In  addition,  the  FDA  has  issued  guidance  advising 
manufacturers to take cybersecurity risks into account in product design for connected medical devices and systems, to assure 
that appropriate safeguards are in place to reduce the risk of unauthorized access or modification to medical devices that contain 
software  and  reduce  the  risk  of  introducing  threats  into  hospital  systems  that  are  connected  to  such  devices.  The  FDA  also 
issued guidance on post market management of cyber security in medical devices.

Outside the U.S., we are impacted by the privacy and data security requirements at the international, national and regional level, 
and on an industry specific basis. Legal requirements in these countries relating to the collection, storage, handling and transfer 
of  personal  data  and,  potentially,  intellectual  property  continue  to  evolve  with  increasingly  strict  enforcement  regimes.  In 
Europe,  for  example,  we  are  subject  to  EU  General  Data  Protection  Regulation  ("GDPR")  which  requires  member  states  to 
impose  minimum  restrictions  on  the  collection,  use  and  transfer  of  personal  data  and  includes,  among  other  things,  a 
requirement  for  prompt  notice  of  data  breaches  to  data  subjects  and  supervisory  authorities  in  certain  circumstances  and 
significant fines for non-compliance. The GDPR also requires companies processing personal data of individuals residing in the 
EU to comply with EU privacy and data protection rules.

Please  refer  to  “Item  1A.  Risk  Factors  -  We  are  subject  to  requirements  relating  to  information  technology  which  could 
adversely  affect  our  business”  of  this  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  for  additional  discussion  of  the  risks  accompanying 
compliance with data privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations.

These laws and regulations impact the ways in which we use and manage personal data, protected health information, and our 
information  technology  systems.  They  also  impact  our  ability  to  move,  store,  and  access  data  across  geographic  boundaries. 
Compliance with these requirements may require changes in business practices, complicate our operations, and add complexity 
and additional management and oversight needs. They also may complicate our clinical research activities, as well as product 
offerings that involve transmission or use of clinical data.

Diversity and Inclusion

A diverse workforce and an inclusive culture and work environment is a business priority and a key to our long-term success.   
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion ("D&I") starts at the top with our Board of Directors and CEO. At all levels of the 
company, we focus on attracting, retaining, and developing our diverse talent.

Leadership Commitment and Accountability

Executive  leadership  team  members  set  the  D&I  goals  for  the  company  and  advancing  diversity  and  inclusion  initiatives  to 
build stronger teams remains a company-wide goal.

Leadership Councils, Employee Resource Groups and External Partnerships:

We  are  accountable  to  our  D&I  commitment  through  our  leadership  councils,  employee  resource  groups,  and  external 
partnerships.

•

•

Our  Women’s  Leadership  Council,  since  its  establishment  in  2017,  is  an  action  and  results-oriented  advisory  group 
comprised  of  fifteen  of  our  senior  women  leaders  across  Integra.  The  specific  charter  of  the  Council  is  to  work 
together to identify ways to continue to attract and retain female talent, advance the development of our women into 
leadership  roles,  increase  the  cultural  awareness  of  the  value  of  inclusion  and  diversity  in  our  company,  and  create 
specific development forums for our high performing women at Integra. 

Employee  resources  groups  encourage  a  culture  of  awareness  and  inclusion,  assist  in  the  attraction  and  retention  of 
diverse  talent,  and  help  colleagues  develop  leadership  skills.  Members  of  the  executive  leadership  team  serve  as 
sponsors for each of Integra’s employee resource groups. Integra has five Employee Resources Groups: 

◦ Women of Integra Networks ("WIN") with 20+ chapters globally
◦
◦
◦
◦

African American Affinity Group
Veteran Employee Resource Group
Indian American Professional Network
Asian American and Pacific Islander Employee Resource Group

• We reinforce our commitment to diversity by partnering with other organizations focused on driving inclusion in the 
workplace  including  the  CEO  Action  for  Diversity  &  Inclusion,  the  largest  CEO-driven  business  commitment  to 
advance D&I in the workplace and Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association, an association dedicated to further the 
advancement and impact of women in the business of healthcare.

Promoting an inclusive culture through learning opportunities:

To  help  drive  our  culture  of  inclusion,  our  colleagues  participate  in  programs  focused  on  how  to  manage  bias  and  value 
differences.

• Members  of  our  executive  leadership,  senior  management  team,  and  larger  scope  leaders  participate  in  a  half-day 
microinequities  training.  The  content  includes  understanding  unconscious  bias  and  microinequities,  how  to  identify 
microinequities in day-to-day decisions and actions as leaders, and ways to mitigate microinequities on an individual 
and organizational level.

• Upon  joining  Integra,  colleagues  globally  participate  in  two  programs  to  promote  inclusion:  a  course  that  creates 
awareness of unconscious biases in the workplaces and tools to build-bias breaking skills and a course that examines 
what practicing inclusion in the workplace looks like.

Gender Diversity:

We believe that our company is stronger and will deliver strong operating results when we build diverse teams and leverage 
broad perspectives to meet the needs of our shareholders, customers, colleagues, and communities we serve. 

The breakout of our colleagues by gender as of December 31, 2021:

48% of Integra’s overall population is female, 52% male. We continue to strive to ensure our diversity in our leadership roles is 
representative of our overall population. Through mentorship, sponsorship, recruitment efforts, and development programs we 
look to continue to grow our population of females in leadership roles at Integra. Currently, 42% of our executive leaders and 
45% of senior leaders (non-executive vice presidents) are female.

13

 
In partnership with Leadership Edge, a company founded by women leaders and dedicated to growing and mentoring women, 
Integra  sponsors  the  Excel  Women’s  Leadership  Program.  The  program  is  designed  to  accelerate  the  development  and 
advancement  of  high  potential,  mid-career  female  leaders  into  senior  leadership  roles.  The  program  has  assisted  in  further 
building  our  pipeline  of  women  leaders  with  50%  of  the  program’s  graduates  being  promoted  into  roles  with  increased 
responsibility.

Employee Health and Safety:

Integra  LifeSciences  is  committed  to  providing  a  safe  environment  for  all  employees  and  visitors.  We  rely  on  our 
environmental,  health  and  safety  management  systems  as  well  as  entrusting  our  managers  to  oversee  and  ensure  health  and 
safety at their respective sites and foster a workplace culture to achieve that end. We implement our approach globally by our 
systems and support at regional and country levels from colleagues that implement proper safety protocols, identify and correct 
hazards,  and  remain  safety  conscious  at  all  times.  Managers  are  expected  to  enforce  health  and  safety  regulations,  including 
compliance  with  applicable  federal,  state  and  local  laws.  Our  Environmental  Health  and  Safety  ("EH&S")  organizational 
structure  incorporates  both  workplace  EH&S  coordinators  and  compliance  teams.  We  have  developed  an  Incident  Procedure 
Policy and General Safety Rules that guide our colleagues to improve our workplace environment, improve safety, and reduce 
risk and costs.

As  we  navigate  the  COVID-19  pandemic  and  its  variants,  we  have  placed  a  high  priority  on  employee  health,  providing 
resources to support our workforce through this challenging time. To help limit exposure to the coronavirus, we acted to ensure 
employees  in  business-critical  functions  who  cannot  work  from  home  are  protected,  including  those  in  research  and 
development,  quality,  manufacturing,  distribution,  and  sales.  Personal  protective  equipment,  increased  sanitation  and  social 
distancing guidance are provided to protect our employees. We continue to actively monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its 
variants  and  respond  based  on  guidance  from  U.S.  and  global  health  organizations,  relevant  governmental  guidance,  and 
evolving practices.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

RISKS RELATED TO COVID-19

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to significantly impact global economic conditions and have affected, and 
may continue to affect, our operations, supply chain, distribution, sales force, as well as the financial stability of hospitals 
and other customers, and have caused and could again cause a reduction in procedures, which could materially adversely 
affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price.

On  March  11,  2020,  the  World  Health  Organization  characterized  the  Novel  Coronavirus  Disease  2019  (“COVID-19”)  as  a 
pandemic.  The  COVID-19  pandemic  continues  to  have  widespread  and  unpredictable  impacts  on  global  society,  economies, 
financial  markets,  and  business  practices  and  negatively  impact  business  and  healthcare  activity  globally.  To  date,  and  in 
continuing  efforts  to  control  the  spread  of  COVID-19  (including  subsequent  surges  and  variants),  governments  around  the 
world, including in the U.S., have and continue to implement various preventative measures including quarantines, “shelter in 
place” orders, “stay at home” orders, travel restrictions, business operation restrictions, school closures, and other similar types 
of  measures.  Even  as  efforts  to  contain  the  pandemic  have  made  progress,  new  variants  of  the  virus  are  causing  additional 
surges or outbreaks. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact our business operations, including our 
employees,  customers,  suppliers,  distributors,  other  service  providers  and  communities  in  which  we  operate,  and  there  is 
substantial uncertainty in the nature and degree of its continued effects over time.

In  response  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic  and  related  mitigation  efforts,  similar  to  many  other  employers  in  the  U.S.,  the 
Company has and continues to encourage many employees to work remotely. The Company has continued to operate certain 
manufacturing  facilities  to  date  in  compliance  with  federal,  state  and  local  orders  regarding  COVID-19.  The  health  of  the 
Company’s  workforce  is  our  top  concern  and  the  Company  has  procured  equipment  and  implemented  safety  protocols  in  an 
effort to maintain the health and safety of our employees. A number of our network of business partners have been adversely 
affected  by  the  COVID-19  pandemic.  These  impacts  could  impair  our  ability  to  move  our  products  through  distribution 
channels to end customers, and any such delay or shortage in the supply of materials or products may result in our inability to 
satisfy consumer demand for certain of our products in a timely manner or at all, which could harm our reputation, future sales 
and profitability. 

It is not possible to predict with precision how future demand for our products will be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as 
the  scope  and  duration  of  the  pandemic  and  its  impact  on  our  business  and  the  markets  in  which  we  operate  remain 
unpredictable. The Company has implemented extensive business contingency plans across its global organization and network 
of  third  parties  through  which  the  Company  conducts  its  business  which  helps  limit  some  of  the  impact  of  the  COVID-19 
pandemic but does not completely prevent or avoid a negative impact on the business. In addition, COVID-19 has impacted and 
may  further  impact  the  global  economy  and  capital  markets,  including  by  negatively  impacting  access  to  capital  markets, 
foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates, each of which may adversely impact our business and liquidity.

The  extent  to  which  the  COVID-19  pandemic  will  negatively  affect  the  Company's  operations  and  financial  position  will 
depend on future developments that remain uncertain and cannot be predicted with precision. For example, including, without 
limitation, the pandemic could cause: 

•

•

•

•
•
•
•

•

•
•
•

•

Continued  fluctuations  in  our  operational  results,  revenues,  and  cash  flows  which  may  negatively  impact  our  stock 
price; 
Impact  on  our  operations  and  sales  including  but  not  limited  to  delays  in  orders,  ability  to  market,  sell,  deliver  and 
service our products;
Reductions in demand for our products and services due to the impact of COVID-19 on hospitals and customers such 
as continued or future postponement or cancellations of procedures, hospital postponement or cancellation of capital 
purchases, or elimination of services;
Disruption to manufacturing operations and distribution supply chains;
Increased challenges or restraints in obtaining necessary products or components from our suppliers and vendors;
Reduction or interruption to our manufacturing processes which could have a material adverse effect on our business;
Local  and/or  global  economic  instability  and  inflation  and  recessions,  which  may  result  in  hospitals  and  customers 
reducing  capital  spending  and  could  materially  affect  our  business,  including  but  not  limited  to  our  future  access  to 
capital, and negatively impact the value of our stock; 
Continued  limitations  on  our  operations  due  to  restrictions  associated  with  “shelter  in  place”  orders  and  travel 
restrictions; 
Distraction of management time and focus; 
Increased risk that insurance coverage will not provide protection for all of the COVID-19-related disruption;
Continued and/or increased risks related to the health and safety of our employees (and retention issues), volatility of 
foreign currency exchange rates, and risk of cybersecurity attacks and breaches; 
Possible liquidity constraints and credit impact;

16

•

•
•

•

•

Delays in obtaining regulatory clearances, approval to market products, quality inspections, or delays to clinical trial 
activity; 
Delays in coverage decisions by private and public health insurers and foreign governmental health systems;
Delays in the completion of supportive clinical studies for payer coverage decisions or clinical and economic decision 
makers due to slowed study enrollments;
Delays to acquisition plans, increased risks to the operations and financial condition of newly acquired businesses, and 
increased costs or delays to integration of newly acquired businesses;
The  impact  of  any  reprioritization  of  capital  allocations  on  our  ability  to  achieve  our  strategic  objectives  over  the 
medium and long-term; and

• Write  downs  or  impairments  of  investments  in  third  parties,  goodwill  or  intangible  assets  from  recently  acquired 

businesses, accounts receivable, or other assets.

As the situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid, it is difficult to predict, with any certainty, the duration 
and  extent  of  its  impact  which  depends  on  future  developments  that  cannot  be  accurately  predicted  at  this  time,  such  as  the 
severity and transmission rate of the virus (including any variant strains), the extent and effectiveness of containment actions 
including  the  effectiveness  of  the  vaccine  against  future  variants  and  the  availability  of  new  antiviral  medicines  for  the 
treatment  of  COVID-19,  and  the  impact  of  these  and  other  factors  on  our  employees,  customers,  suppliers,  distributors  and 
other service providers. If COVID-19, or a variant strain, continues to spread and escalate domestically or internationally, or if 
governments impose additional measures intended to mitigate the spread and related effects of the pandemic, the risks described 
above could be elevated significantly. Should that occur, and the COVID-19 pandemic persist for a prolonged time, the above 
factors  and  others  that  are  currently  unknown  could  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  our  business,  results  of  operations, 
financial  conditions  and  prospects  and  could  elevate  known  risks  described  in  this  Item  1A.  Risk  Factors.  Information 
pertaining to the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic disruptions, and the actual operational 
and  financial  impacts  that  we  have  experienced  to  date  can  be  found  in  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial 
Position and Results of Operations.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

Our operating results may fluctuate.

Our operating results, including components of operating results such as gross margin and cost of product sales, may fluctuate 
from time to time, and such fluctuations could affect our stock price. Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and can 
be expected to do so from time to time in the future. Some of the factors that may cause these fluctuations include:

•
•

•

•
•

•
•
•
•
•

•
•

•
•

•
•

risks related to COVID-19;
economic  conditions  worldwide,  which  could  affect  the  ability  of  hospitals  and  other  customers  to  purchase  our 
products and could result in a reduction in elective and non-reimbursed operative procedures;
the  impact  of  acquisitions,  our  ability  to  integrate  acquisitions,  and  our  restructuring  activities  including  portfolio 
rationalization, divestitures and product lifecycle management;
expenditures for major initiatives, including acquired businesses and integrations thereof and restructuring;
the  timing  of  significant  customer  orders,  which  tend  to  increase  in  the  fourth  quarter  coinciding  with  the  end  of 
budget cycles; 
increased competition for a wide range of customers across all our product lines in the markets our products are sold;

•
• market acceptance of our existing products, as well as products in development; 
•

retention of current employees and recruiting of new employees in light of market competition for talent and relevant 
skills; 
the timing of regulatory approvals as well as changes in country-specific regulatory requirements; 
changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies of countries in which we do business;
changes in the variable interest rates of our debt instruments which could impact debt service requirements; 
potential backorders, lost sales and expenses incurred in connection with product recalls or field corrective actions; 
disruption of our operations and sales resulting from extreme weather conditions or natural disasters that damage our 
manufacturing,  distribution,  or  infrastructure  of  those  facilities,  or  the  suppliers  and  service  providers  for  those 
facilities;
our ability to manufacture and ship our products efficiently or in sufficient quantities to meet sales demands; 
changes in the cost or decreases in the supply of raw materials and services, including sterilization, energy, steel and 
honey;
the timing of our research and development expenditures; 
reimbursement for our products by third-party payors such as Medicare, Medicaid, private and public health insurers 
and foreign governmental health systems;
the ability to maintain existing distribution rights to and from certain third parties;
the ability to maintain business if or when we opt to convert such business from distributors to a direct sales model;

17

•
•
•
•

•
•

•
•
•

the ability of our commercial sales representatives to obtain sales targets in a reasonable time frame;
the impact of changes to our sales organization, continued channel expansion, including increased specialization;
peer-reviewed publications discussing the clinical effectiveness of the products we sell;
inspections  of  our  manufacturing  facilities  for  compliance  with  Quality  System  Regulations  (Good  Manufacturing 
Practices) which could result in Form 483 observations, warning letters, injunctions or other adverse findings from the 
FDA  or  from  equivalent  regulatory  bodies,  and  corrective  actions,  procedural  changes  and  other  actions  that  we 
determine are necessary or appropriate to address the results of those inspections, any of which may affect production 
and our ability to supply our customers with our products;
changes in regulations or guidelines that impact the sales and marketing practices for products that we sell;
the increased regulatory scrutiny of certain of our products, including products which we manufacture for others, could 
result in removal from the market or involve field corrective actions that could affect the marketability of our products; 
enforcement or defense of intellectual property rights;
changes in tax laws, or their interpretations; and
the impact of goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges if future operating results of the acquired businesses 
are significantly less than the results anticipated at the time of the acquisitions.

The industry and market segments in which we operate are highly competitive, and we may be unable to compete effectively 
with other companies.

There is intense competition among medical device companies. We compete with established medical technology companies in 
many  of  our  product  areas.  Competition  also  comes  from  early-stage  companies,  universities,  research  institutions  and  other 
non-profit  entities.  In  certain  cases,  our  products  compete  primarily  against  medical  practices  that  treat  a  condition  without 
using  a  device  or  any  particular  product,  such  as  the  medical  practices  that  use  autograft  tissue  instead  of  our  dermal 
regeneration  products,  duraplasty  products  and  nerve  repair  products,  or  that  use  other  technologies  that  cost  less  than  our 
products.  Many  of  our  competitors  have  access  to  greater  financial,  technical,  research  and  development,  marketing, 
manufacturing,  sales,  distribution,  administrative,  consulting  and  other  resources  than  we  do.  Our  competitors  may  be  more 
effective  at  developing  commercial  products.  They  may  be  able  to  gain  market  share  by  offering  lower-cost  products  or 
products that enjoy better reimbursement from third-party payors and foreign governmental health systems.

Our  competitive  position  depends  on  our  ability  to  achieve  market  acceptance  for  our  products,  develop  new  products, 
implement  production  and  marketing  plans,  secure  regulatory  approval  for  products  under  development,  demonstrate  clinical 
and  economic  effectiveness,  obtain  and  maintain  reimbursement  coverage  and  funding  under  third-party  payors  and  foreign 
governmental  health  systems,  obtain  patent  protection  and  produce  products  consistently  in  sufficient  quantities  to  meet 
demand. We may need to develop new applications for our products to remain competitive. Technological advances by one or 
more of our current or future competitors or their achievement of superior reimbursement from third-party payors and foreign 
governmental  health  systems  could  render  our  present  or  future  products  obsolete  or  uneconomical.  Our  future  success  will 
depend  upon  our  ability  to  compete  effectively  against  current  technology  as  well  as  to  respond  effectively  to  technological 
advances,  changes  in  customers'  requirements  or  in  payor  or  regulatory  evidence  requirements.  Additionally,  purchasing 
decisions  of  our  customers  may  be  based  on  clinical  evidence  or  comparative  effectiveness  studies  and,  because  of  our  vast 
array  of  products,  we  might  not  be  able  to  fund  the  studies  necessary  to  gain  entry  or  maintain  our  position  or  provide  the 
required  information  to  compete  effectively.  Other  companies  may  have  more  resources  available  to  fund  such  studies.  For 
example, competitors have launched and are developing products to compete with our dural repair products, regenerative skin, 
neuro critical care monitors and ultrasonic tissue ablation devices, among others. In the current environment of managed care, 
consolidation  among  health  care  providers,  increased  competition,  and  declining  reimbursement  rates,  we  have  been 
increasingly  required  to  compete  on  the  basis  of  price.  Competitive  pressures  could  adversely  affect  our  profitability.  Given 
these factors, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to compete effectively or continue our level of success in the areas in 
which we compete.

Changes in the healthcare industry may require us to decrease the selling price for our products, may reduce the size of the 
market  for  our  products,  or  may  eliminate  a  market,  any  of  which  could  have  a  negative  impact  on  our  financial 
performance.

Trends toward managed care, healthcare cost containment and other changes in government and private sector initiatives in the 
U.S. and other countries in which we do business are placing increased emphasis on the delivery of more cost-effective medical 
therapies that could adversely affect the sale and/or the prices of our products. For example:

•

third-party  payors  of  hospital  services  and  hospital  outpatient  services,  including  Medicare,  Medicaid,  private  and 
public health insurers and foreign governmental health systems, annually revise their payment methodologies, which 
can result in stricter standards for reimbursement of hospital charges for certain medical procedures or the elimination 
of reimbursement;

18

•

several  foreign  countries  have  implemented  reforms  of  their  respective  healthcare  sectors  in  an  effort  to  reduce 
healthcare  spending,  including  restricting  funding  to  only  those  medical  technologies  and  procedures  with  proven 
effectiveness, and increasing patient co-payments. Governmental health systems have revised and continue to consider 
revisions of healthcare budgets, which could result in stricter standards for implementing certain medical procedures, 
increased scrutiny of medical devices, and downward pricing pressure;

• Medicare,  Medicaid,  private  and  public  health  insurer  and  foreign  governmental  cutbacks  could  create  downward 

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

pricing pressure on our products;
in the U.S., Medicare and Medicaid coverage as well as commercial payor coverage determinations could reduce or 
eliminate reimbursement or coverage for certain of our wound matrix, amniotic, surgical reconstruction and advanced 
wound dressing products as well as other products in most regions, negatively affecting our market for these products, 
and future determinations could reduce or eliminate reimbursement or coverage for these products in other regions and 
could reduce or eliminate reimbursement or coverage for other products;
there  has  been  a  consolidation  among  healthcare  facilities  and  purchasers  of  medical  devices  in  the  U.S.,  some  of 
whom  prefer  to  limit  the  number  of  suppliers  from  whom  they  purchase  medical  products,  and  these  entities  may 
decide to stop purchasing our products or demand discounts on our prices;
in the U.S., we are party to contracts with group purchasing organizations, which negotiate pricing for many member 
hospitals, require us to discount our prices for certain of our products and limit our ability to raise prices for certain of 
our products, particularly surgical instruments; 
there  is  economic  pressure  to  contain  healthcare  costs  in  domestic  and  international  markets,  and,  regardless  of  the 
consolidation discussed above, providers generally are exploring ways to cut costs by eliminating purchases or driving 
reductions in the prices that they pay for medical devices, or increasing clinical or economic evidence thresholds for 
product formularies;
there are proposed and existing laws, regulations and industry policies in domestic and international markets regulating 
the sales and marketing practices and the pricing and profitability of companies in the healthcare industry;
proposed  laws  or  regulations  may  permit  hospitals  to  provide  financial  incentives  to  doctors  for  reducing  hospital 
costs, will award physician efficiency, and will encourage partnerships with healthcare service and goods providers to 
reduce prices; and
there  have  been  initiatives  by  third-party  payors  and  foreign  governmental  health  systems  to  challenge  the  prices 
charged for medical products that could affect our ability to sell products on a competitive basis.

Any and all of the above factors could materially and adversely affect our levels of revenue and our profitability.

Our  current  strategy  involves  growth  through  acquisitions,  which  requires  us  to  incur  substantial  costs  and  potential 
liabilities  for  which  we  may  never  realize  the  anticipated  benefits,  and  also  requires  us  to  successfully  integrate  acquired 
businesses into our business operations in order to avoid our business being materially and adversely affected.

In addition to internally generated growth, our current strategy involves growth through acquisitions. Between January 1, 2019 
and December 31, 2021, we have acquired 3 businesses at a total cost of approximately $404.3 million which amount includes 
our  acquisition  of  ACell,  Inc.  in  January  2021  for  $306.9  million.  This  acquisition  added  products  to  our  complex  wound 
management product portfolio and provides additional growth opportunities for our TT segment.

We may be unable to continue to implement our growth strategy and it may ultimately be unsuccessful. A significant portion of 
our growth in revenues has resulted from, and is expected to continue to result from, the acquisition of businesses or products 
complementary to our own. We engage in evaluations of potential acquisitions and are in various stages of discussion regarding 
possible acquisitions, certain of which, if consummated, could be significant to us. Any new acquisition could result in material 
transaction  expenses,  increased  operating,  amortization  and  interest  expenses,  and  possible  in-process  research  and 
development  charges  for  acquisitions  that  do  not  meet  the  definition  of  a  “business,”  any  of  which  could  have  a  material, 
adverse  effect  on  our  operating  results.  Certain  businesses  that  we  acquire  may  not  have  adequate  financial,  disclosure, 
regulatory,  quality  or  other  compliance  controls  at  the  time  we  acquire  them  and  could  require  significant  expenditures  to 
address  those  controls  or  subject  us  to  increased  risk.  As  we  grow  by  acquisition,  we  must  manage  and  integrate  the  new 
businesses  to  bring  them  into  our  systems  for  financial,  disclosure,  compliance,  regulatory  and  quality  control,  realize 
economies of scale, and control costs. Failure to integrate acquired businesses and operations (including acquired employees 
and systems), retain key customers and suppliers of any acquired business or manage the cost of providing our products or price 
our products appropriately could preclude realization of the full benefits that we expect from there transactions. Our failure to 
meet  the  challenges  involved  in  integrating  the  business  in  order  to  realize  the  anticipated  benefits  of  the  acquisitions  could 
cause  an  interruption  of,  or  loss  of  momentum  in,  our  activities  and  could  materially  and  adversely  affect  our  results  of 
operations. In addition, acquisitions involve other risks, including diversion of management resources otherwise available for 
the running of our business and the development of our business as well as risks associated with entering markets in which our 
marketing  teams  and  sales  force  has  limited  experience  or  where  experienced  distribution  alliances  are  not  available.  Some 
acquisitions may include the need for ongoing product development to occur consistent with time sensitive milestones in order 
for the Company to achieve its commercial projections for the acquisition. Our future profitability will depend in part upon our 

19

ability  to  develop  our  resources  to  adapt  to  these  new  products  or  business  areas  and  to  identify  and  enter  into  or  maintain 
satisfactory distribution networks. As a result of our acquisitions of other healthcare businesses, we may be subject to the risk of 
unanticipated  business  uncertainties,  regulatory  and  other  compliance  matters  or  legal  liabilities  relating  to  those  acquired 
businesses  for  which  the  sellers  of  the  acquired  businesses  may  not  indemnify  us,  for  which  we  may  not  be  able  to  obtain 
insurance (or adequate insurance), or for which the indemnification may not be sufficient to cover the ultimate liabilities. We 
may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates in the future, obtain acceptable financing or consummate any future 
acquisitions. Certain potential acquisitions are subject to antitrust and competition laws, which laws could impact our ability to 
pursue strategic acquisitions and could result in mandated divestitures. If we are unsuccessful in our acquisition strategy, we 
may be unable to meet our financial targets and our financial performance could be materially and adversely affected.

These risks may be heightened in cases where the majority of the former businesses’ operations, employees and customers are 
located  outside  the  U.S.  Any  one  or  all  of  these  factors  could  increase  operating  costs  or  lower  anticipated  financial 
performance.  Many  of  these  factors  are  also  outside  of  our  control.  In  addition,  dispositions  of  certain  key  products, 
technologies and other rights, including pursuant to conditions imposed on us to obtain regulatory approvals, may affect our 
business operations.

Even  if  the  operations  of  the  businesses  are  integrated  successfully,  we  may  not  realize  the  full  benefits  of  the  acquisition, 
including the synergies, cost savings or sales or growth opportunities that we expect. These benefits may not be achieved within 
the anticipated time frame, or at all. Additional unanticipated costs could be incurred in the integration of the businesses. All of 
these  factors  could  cause  a  reduction  to  our  earnings  per  share,  decrease  or  delay  the  expected  accretive  effect  of  the 
transaction, and negatively impact the price of our common stock.

Our future financial results could be adversely affected by impairments or other charges. 

We are required to test both goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis based upon a fair 
value  approach,  rather  than  amortizing  them  over  time.  We  are  also  required  to  test  goodwill  and  indefinite-lived  intangible 
assets for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs such as a significant decline in revenues or cash flows for certain 
products, or the discount rates used in the calculations of discounted cash flows change significantly, or circumstances change 
that  would  more  likely  than  not  reduce  our  enterprise  fair  value  below  its  book  value.  If  such  a  decline,  rate  change  or 
circumstance were to materialize, we may record an impairment of these intangible assets that could be material to the financial 
statements.  See  “Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  -  Critical 
Accounting Estimates” of this report. 

The  guidance  on  long-lived  assets  requires  that  we  assess  the  impairment  of  our  long-lived  assets,  including  finite-lived 
intangible  assets,  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  value  may  not  be  recoverable  as 
measured by the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows.

Also, Company decisions and other economic factors relating to our trade names may occur over time. For instance, we may 
discontinue certain products in the future as we continue to assess the profitability of our product lines. As a result, we may 
need to record impairment charges or accelerate amortization on certain trade names or technology-related intangible assets in 
the future.

The value of a medical device business is often volatile, and the assumptions underlying our estimates made in connection with 
our assessments under the guidance may change as a result of that volatility or other factors outside our control and may result 
in impairment charges. The amount of any such impairment charges could be significant and have a material, adverse effect on 
our reported financial results for the period in which the charge is taken and could have an adverse effect on the market price of 
our securities, including the notes and the common stock into which they may be converted.

Lack  of  market  acceptance  for  our  products  or  market  preference  for  technologies  that  compete  with  our  products  could 
reduce our revenues and profitability.

Market acceptance of our products depends on many factors, including our ability to convince prospective customers that our 
technology is an attractive alternative to other technologies, to manufacture products in sufficient quantities and at acceptable 
costs, and to supply and service sufficient quantities of our products directly or through our distribution alliances. For example, 
the use of autograft tissue is a well-established means for repairing the dermis, and it competes for acceptance in the market 
with our collagen-based wound care products. In addition, unfavorable payment amounts or adverse coverage determinations of 
third-party payors, including Medicare, Medicaid, private and public health insurers, and foreign governmental health systems, 
regarding  our  products  or  third-party  determinations  that  favor  a  competitor’s  product  over  ours,  could  harm  acceptance  or 
continued use of our products. For example, greater market acceptance of our wound graft products may ultimately depend on 
our ability to demonstrate that coverage and reimbursement are available and favorable, or because they are an attractive, cost-
effective alternative to other treatment options. 

20

If  there  are  negative  events  in  the  healthcare  industry,  whether  real  or  perceived,  there  could  be  a  negative  impact  on  the 
industry as a whole. The industry is subject to rapid and continuous change arising from, among other things, consolidation, 
technological  improvements,  the  pressure  on  governments,  third-party  payors  and  providers  to  reduce  healthcare  costs,  and 
healthcare reform legislation and initiatives domestically and internationally. In addition, our future success depends, in part, on 
our ability to license and develop additional products. Even if we determine that a product candidate has medical benefits, the 
cost of commercializing, either through internal development or payments associated with licensing arrangements, could be too 
high to justify development and we could ultimately face competitors with more effective products and better reimbursement 
status  that  cost  less  and  are  ready  for  commercial  introduction  before  our  products.  If  we  are  unable  to  develop  additional 
commercially viable products, our future prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

One  or  more  of  these  factors  could  vary  unpredictably,  and  such  variations  could  have  a  material,  adverse  effect  on  our 
competitive position. We may not be able to adjust our contemplated plan of development to meet changing market demands.

It could be difficult to replace some of our suppliers.

Outside vendors, some of whom are sole-source suppliers, provide key components and raw materials used in the manufacture 
of our products. Although we believe that alternative sources for many of these components and raw materials are available, 
any  interruption  in  supply  of  a  limited  or  sole-source  component  or  raw  material  could  harm  our  ability  to  manufacture  our 
products until a new or alternative source of supply is identified and qualified. In addition, an uncorrected defect or supplier’s 
variation in a component or raw material, either unknown to us or incompatible with our manufacturing process, could harm 
our ability to manufacture products. We may not be able to find a sufficient alternative supplier in a reasonable time period, or 
on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, and our ability to produce and supply our products could be impaired. We believe 
that these factors are most likely to affect the following products that we sell:

•

•
•

•
•
•
•

our  collagen-based  products,  such  as  the  Integra  Dermal  Regeneration  Template  and  wound  matrix  products,  the 
DuraGen® family of products, our Absorbable Collagen Sponges, PriMatrix® and SurgiMend® products;
our products made from silicone, such as our neurosurgical shunts and drainage systems and hemodynamic shunts;
products which use many different specialty parts, electrical components, or chemicals from numerous suppliers, such 
as our intracranial monitors, shunts, catheters, tissue ablation, and headlights;
products which are amniotic tissue-based
products which are porcine tissue-based;
products that use medical grade leptospermum honey, such as our Medihoney products; and
our TCC-EZ® total contact cast system products.

The  availability  of  amniotic  tissue-based  products  depends  upon,  among  other  factors,  the  availability  of  tissue  from  human 
donors.  Access  to  donated  amniotic  tissue  could  also  be  adversely  impacted  by  regulatory  changes  or  evolving  public 
perceptions of the donor process.

Additionally,  many  of  our  products  require  sterilization  by  third-party  suppliers.  To  the  extent  these  suppliers  are  unable  to 
provide sterilization services, whether due to lack of capacity, regulatory requirements, environmental concerns such as those 
relating  to  ethylene  oxide  or  otherwise,  we  may  be  unable  to  transition  sterilization  to  other  suppliers  in  a  timely  or  cost 
effective manner, or at all, which could have an adverse impact on our operating results.

Our supply chain and our cost of goods also may be negatively impacted by unanticipated price increases due to factors such as 
inflation, including wage inflation, or to supply restrictions beyond our control or the control of our suppliers.

While it is our policy to maintain sufficient inventory of components so that our production will not be significantly disrupted 
even if a particular component or material is not available for a period of time, we remain at risk that we will not be able to 
qualify new components or materials quickly enough to prevent a disruption if one or more of our suppliers ceases production 
of important components or materials.

We may experience difficulties, delays, performance impact or unexpected costs from consolidation of facilities and transfer 
of manufacturing facilities.

In  recent  years,  we  consolidated  several  facilities  or  transferred  manufacturing  operations  from  third  parties  to  our  existing 
internal manufacturing facilities and may further undertake similar consolidations or transfers in the future in order to improve 
our cost structure, achieve increased operating efficiencies, and improve our competitive standing or results of operations and/
or to address unfavorable economic conditions. As part of these initiatives, we may also lose favorable tax incentives or not be 
able to renew leases on acceptable terms. We may further reduce staff, make changes to certain capital projects, close certain 
production operations and abandon leases for certain facilities that will not be used in our operations. In conjunction with any 
actions, we will continue to make significant investments and build the framework for our future growth. We may not realize, 
in  full  or  in  part,  the  anticipated  benefits  and  savings  from  these  efforts  because  of  unforeseen  difficulties,  delays, 
implementation issues or unexpected costs. If we are unable to achieve or maintain all of the resulting savings or benefits to our 
business or other unforeseen events occur, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

21

We may have significant product liability exposure and our insurance may not cover all potential claims.

We are exposed to product liability and other claims if our technologies or products are alleged to have caused harm. We may 
not be able to obtain insurance for the potential liability on acceptable terms with adequate coverage or at reasonable costs. Any 
potential product liability claims could exceed the amount of our insurance coverage or may be excluded from coverage under 
the terms of the policy. Our insurance may not be renewed at a cost and level of coverage comparable to that then in effect.

Economic and political instability around the world could adversely affect the ability of hospitals, other customers, suppliers 
and  distributors  to  access  funds  or  otherwise  have  available  liquidity,  which  could  reduce  orders  for  our  products  or 
interrupt our production or distribution or result in a reduction in elective and non-reimbursed operative procedures.

Economic and political instability around the world could adversely affect the ability of hospitals and other customers to access 
funds  to  enable  them  to  fund  their  operating  and  capital  budgets.  As  a  result,  hospitals  and  other  customers  could  reduce 
budgets or put all or part of their budgets on hold or close their operations, which could have a negative effect on our sales, 
particularly the sales of capital equipment such as our ultrasonic surgical aspirators, neuromonitors and stereotactic products, or 
result in a reduction in elective and non-reimbursed procedures. The occurrence of those economic conditions could make it 
more difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities and depending on their severity, could have a 
material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our  private-label  product  lines  depend  significantly  on  key  relationships  with  third  parties,  which  we  could  be  unable  to 
establish and maintain.

Our private-label business depends in part on entering into and maintaining long-term supply agreements with third parties. The 
third parties with whom we have entered into agreements might terminate these agreements for a variety of reasons, including 
developing  other  sources  for  the  products  that  we  supply.  Termination  of  our  most  important  relationships  could  adversely 
affect our expectations for the growth of private-label products.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT 

The  adoption  of  healthcare  reform  in  the  U.S.  and  initiatives  sponsored  by  other  governments  may  adversely  affect  our 
business, results of operations and/or financial condition.

Our operations may be substantially affected by potential fundamental changes in the global political, economic and regulatory 
landscape  of  the  healthcare  industry.  Government  and  private  sector  initiatives  to  limit  the  growth  of  healthcare  costs  are 
continuing in the U.S., and in many other countries in which we do business, causing the marketplace to put increased emphasis 
on the delivery of more cost-effective treatments. These initiatives include price regulation, competitive pricing, coverage and 
payment  policies,  comparative  effectiveness  of  therapies,  technology  assessments  and  managed-care  arrangements.  The 
adoption  of  some  or  all  of  these  initiatives  could  have  a  material,  adverse  effect  on  our  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations.

In  the  United  States,  the  Patient  Protection  and  Affordable  Care  Act  (the  “ACA”),  signed  into  law  in  March  2010,  includes 
several provisions that impact our businesses in the U.S. The ACA includes provisions that, among other things, reduce and/or 
limit Medicare reimbursement, require all individuals to have health insurance (with limited exceptions), and require detailed 
disclosure  of  transfers  of  value  made  to  healthcare  professionals.  Other  legislative  changes  have  been  proposed  and  adopted 
since the Affordable Care Act was enacted, including The Budget Control Act of 2011, The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 
2012 and Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, which, among other things, have reduced payments under 
Medicare  and  Medicaid  to  certain  healthcare  providers  or  altered  the  formula  by  which  Medicare  makes  annual  payment 
adjustments.

We  cannot  predict  what  impact  ongoing  uncertainty  regarding  federal  and  state  health  reform  proposals,  including  the 
implementation or repeal of the ACA, judicial review and interpretation of the ACA and other healthcare laws, instability of the 
insurance  markets,  changes  in  the  U.S.  administration  and  policy,  an  expansion  in  government’s  role  in  and/or  additional 
proposals and/or changes to the U.S. health care system or its legislation will have on our customer’s purchasing decisions and/
or reimbursement which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We expect that additional state and federal health 
care  reform  measures  will  be  adopted  in  the  future,  including  those  initiatives  affecting  coverage  and  reimbursement  for  our 
products,  any  of  which  could  limit  the  amounts  that  federal  and  state  governments  will  pay  for  health  care  products  and 
services,  which  could  adversely  affect  the  growth  of  the  market  for  our  products  or  demand  for  our  products,  or  result  in 
additional pricing pressures. We cannot predict the ultimate content, timing or effect of any healthcare reform legislation or the 
impact  of  potential  legislation  on  us.  We  continue  to  monitor  the  implementation  of  such  legislation  and,  to  the  extent  new 
market  or  industry  trends  or  new  governmental  programs  evolve,  we  will  consider  implementing  or  implement  programs  in 
response.

22

We  are  subject  to  stringent  domestic  and  foreign  medical  device  regulations  and  oversight  and  any  adverse  action  may 
adversely affect our ability to compete in the marketplace and our financial condition and business operations.

Our products, development activities and manufacturing processes are subject to extensive and rigorous regulation by numerous 
government  agencies,  including  the  FDA  and  comparable  foreign  agencies,  as  discussed  in  “Part  1,  Item  1.  Business  – 
Government  Regulation.”  To  varying  degrees,  each  of  these  agencies  monitors  and  enforces  our  compliance  with  laws  and 
regulations governing the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, marketing and distribution of our medical devices. We 
are  also  subject  to  regulations  that  may  apply  to  certain  of  our  products  that  are  Drug/Device  Combination  products  or  are 
considered  to  be  subject  to  pharmaceutical  regulations  outside  the  U.S.  The  process  of  obtaining  marketing  approval  or 
clearance from the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory agencies for new products, or for enhancements or modifications to 
existing products could be costly, time consuming and burdensome, lead to failed clinical trials or weakened clinical evidence, 
involve  modifications,  repairs  or  replacements  of  our  products  and  result  in  limitations  on  the  indicated  use  of  our  products, 
which  may  negatively  impact  our  ability  to  market  our  products  and  services,  result  in  delays  or  prevent  full  commercial 
realization of future products or service. Furthermore, failure to obtain timely approvals or renewals may result in significant 
penalties and fines. Additional regulations govern the approval, initiation, conduct, monitoring, documentation and reporting of 
clinical studies to regulatory agencies in the countries or regions in which they are conducted. Failure to comply, could subject 
us to significant enforcement actions and sanctions, including halting the study, rejection of data generated in the study, seizure 
of  investigational  devices  or  data,  sanctions  against  investigators,  civil  or  criminal  penalties,  and  other  actions.  In  addition, 
without the data from one or more clinical studies, it may not be possible for us to secure the data necessary to support certain 
regulatory  submissions,  to  secure  reimbursement  or  demonstrate  other  requirements.  We  cannot  assure  you  that  access  to 
clinical investigators, sites and subjects, documentation and data will be available on the terms and timeframes necessary.

We are subject to extensive complex regulatory requirements by domestic and foreign government agencies and any failure to 
comply with our ongoing responsibilities under their applicable laws and regulations could result in a material adverse impact 
on our business. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in future product recalls, injunctions preventing the 
shipment of products or other enforcement actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business. 

We  are  also  subject  to  the  European  Medical  Device  Regulation,  which  was  adopted  by  the  European  Union  (“EU”)  as  a 
common legal framework for all EU member states. The implementation for Class I products occurred on May 26, 2021 and the 
EUDAMED Database is scheduled for May 26, 2022. Under this regulation, companies that wish to manufacture and distribute 
medical  devices  in  EU  member  states  must  meet  certain  quality  system,  and  safety  requirements  as  well  as  ongoing  product 
monitoring  responsibilities.  Companies  must  also  obtain  a  “CE”  marking  (i.e.,  a  mandatory  conformity  marking  for  certain 
products sold within the European Economic Area) for their products. Complying with the requirements of these regulations 
may  require  us  to  incur  significant  expenditures.  Various  penalties  exist  for  non-compliance  with  the  laws  implementing  the 
European  Medical  Device  Regulations  which  if  incurred,  could  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  our  business,  results  of 
operations and cash flows.

In addition, we are subject to laws and regulations that govern the means by which companies in the healthcare industry may 
market  their  products  to  healthcare  professionals  and  may  compete  by  discounting  the  prices  of  their  products,  including  for 
example,  the  federal  Anti-Kickback  Statute,  the  federal  False  Claims  Act,  the  federal  Health  Insurance  Portability  and 
Accountability Act of 1996, state law equivalents to these federal laws that are meant to protect against fraud and abuse and 
analogous laws in foreign countries. Violations of these laws are punishable by criminal and civil sanctions, including, but not 
limited  to,  in  some  instances  civil  and  criminal  penalties,  damages,  fines,  exclusion  from  participation  in  federal  and  state 
healthcare  programs,  including  Medicare  and  Medicaid.  Although  we  exercise  care  in  structuring  our  sales  and  marketing 
practices and customer discount arrangements to comply with those laws and regulations, we cannot assure that:

•

•

government officials charged with responsibility for enforcing those laws will not assert that our sales and marketing 
practices or customer discount arrangements are in violation of those laws or regulations; or
government regulators or courts will interpret those laws or regulations in a manner consistent with our interpretation.

We  have  in  place  policies  and  procedures  for  compliance  that  we  believe  are  at  least  as  stringent  as  those  set  forth  in  the 
AdvaMed Code of Ethics which was developed by AdvaMed, a trade association that represents the medical device industry, 
and  which  is  intended  to  represent  best  practices  with  respect  to  medical  device  companies'  interactions  with  healthcare 
providers.  We  regularly  train  our  sales  and  marketing  personnel  on  our  policies  regarding  sales  and  marketing  practices. 
Pursuant to the AdvaMed Code, we have certified our adoption of the AdvaMed Code. The sales and marketing practices of our 
industry have been the subject of increased scrutiny from federal and state government agencies, and we believe that this trend 
will continue. Various hospital organizations, medical societies and trade associations are establishing their own practices that 
may  require  detailed  disclosures  of  relationships  between  healthcare  professionals  and  medical  device  companies  or  ban  or 
restrict  certain  marketing  and  sales  practices  such  as  gifts  and  business  meals.  Since  these  laws,  regulations  and  ultimate 
enforcement  continue  to  evolve,  we  cannot  predict  with  certainty,  what,  if  any,  impact,  changes  to  them  may  have  on  our 
business or our customers.

23

Outside of the U.S. we are subject to privacy and data security regulations at the international, national and regional level, as 
well  as  on  an  industry  specific  basis.  For  example,  in  Europe,  we  are  subject  to  the  EU  General  Data  Protection  Regulation 
("GDPR") which is related to the collection, processing, storage, transfer and use of personal data. In the U.S., we are subject to 
the  California  Consumer  Privacy  Act  of  2018  (“CCPA”)  and  other  similar  laws  in  the  United  States,  at  both  the  federal  and 
state level. Noncompliance with GDPR could trigger fines of up to 4% of global annual revenues. In addition, we are subject to 
the  new  China  Personal  Information  Protection  Law  that  went  into  effect  November  1,  2021  which  focuses  on  protecting 
personal information and cross border transfers of the information. Compliance with these requirements, either individually or 
in the aggregate, may require changes in business practices added complexity and additional management oversight. They also 
may complicate our clinical research activities, as well as product  offerings that involve transmission or use of clinical data. 
Non-compliance  may  result  in  proceedings  against  us  by  governmental  or  other  entities  and/or  significant  fines  which  could 
negatively impact our reputation and adversely affect our business.

Should  we  delay  or  fail  to  comply  with  one  or  more  of  the  regulatory  requirements  we  could  have  reduced  sales,  increased 
costs, delays to new product introductions, enhancements or our strategic plans, or harm to our reputation or competitiveness, 
which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Certain of our products contain materials derived from animal sources and may become subject to additional regulation.

Certain  of  our  products  are  derived  from  bovine  or  porcine  tissue  sources.  As  a  result,  we  may  experience  difficulties  in 
processing and producing our bovine and porcine tissue products at scale, including problems related to yields, quality control 
and assurance, tissue availability, adequacy of control policies and procedures and availability of skilled personnel.

With  respect  to  bovine,  among  other  products,  our  dermal  regeneration  products,  duraplasty  products,  wound  care  products, 
bone void fillers, nerve and tendon repair products and certain other products, contain material derived from bovine tissue. In 
2021,  approximately  43.3%  of  our  revenues  derived  from  products  containing  material  derived  from  bovine  tissue.  Products 
that contain materials derived from animal sources, including food, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, are subject to scrutiny 
in  the  media  and  by  regulatory  authorities.  Regulatory  authorities  are  concerned  about  the  potential  for  the  transmission  of 
disease  from  animals  to  humans  via  those  materials.  This  public  scrutiny  has  been  particularly  acute  in  Japan  and  Western 
Europe  with  respect  to  products  derived  from  animal  sources,  because  of  concern  that  materials  infected  with  the  agent  that 
causes bovine spongiform encephalopathy, otherwise known as BSE or mad cow disease, may, if ingested or implanted, cause a 
variant of the human Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, an ultimately fatal disease with no known cure. The World Organization for 
Animal Health recognizes the U.S. as having a negligible risk for BSE, which is the highest status available.

We take care to provide that our products are safe and free of agents that can cause disease. In particular, we qualified a source 
of  collagen  from  a  country  outside  the  U.S.  that  is  considered  BSE/TSE-free.  The  World  Health  Organization  classifies 
different types of bovine tissue for relative risk of BSE transmission. Deep flexor tendon and bovine fetal skin, which are used 
in our products, are in the lowest-risk categories for BSE transmission and are therefore considered to have a negligible risk of 
containing  the  agent  that  causes  BSE  (an  improperly  folded  protein  known  as  a  prion).  Nevertheless,  products  that  contain 
materials  derived  from  animals,  including  our  products,  could  become  subject  to  additional  regulation,  or  even  be  banned  in 
certain countries, because of concern over the potential for the transmission of prions. Significant new regulations, or a ban of 
our products, could have a material, adverse effect on our current business or our ability to expand our business.

Certain countries, such as Japan, China, Taiwan and Argentina, have issued regulations that require our collagen products be 
sourced from countries where no cases of BSE have occurred, and the EU has requested that our dural replacement products 
and  other  products  that  are  used  in  neurological  tissue  be  sourced  from  a  country  where  no  cases  of  BSE  have  occurred. 
Currently, we source bovine fetal hides from the U.S. and purchase tendon from the U.S. and New Zealand. New Zealand has 
never had a case of BSE. We received approval in the U.S., the EU, Japan, Taiwan, China, Argentina as well as other countries 
for  the  use  of  New  Zealand-sourced  tendon  in  the  manufacturing  of  our  products.  If  we  cannot  continue  to  use  or  qualify  a 
source of tendon from New Zealand or another country that has never had a case of BSE, we could be prohibited from selling 
our collagen products in certain countries.

24

We are subject to current and potential future requirements relating to protection of the environment, such as hazardous 
materials regulations, which may impose significant compliance or other costs on us. 

Certain  of  our  processes  in  manufacturing  and  research  and  development  involve  the  controlled  use  of  certain  hazardous 
materials.  In  addition,  we  own  and/or  lease  a  number  of  facilities  at  which  hazardous  materials  have  been  used  in  the  past. 
Finally, we have acquired various companies that historically have used certain hazardous materials and that have owned and/or 
leased facilities at which hazardous materials have been used. For all of these reasons, we are subject to federal, state, foreign, 
and  local  laws  and  regulations  governing  the  use,  manufacture,  storage,  transportation,  handling,  treatment,  remediation,  and 
disposal  of  hazardous  materials  and  certain  waste  products  (“Environmental,  Health,  Safety  and  Transportation  Laws”). 
Although  we  believe  that  our  procedures  for  handling,  transporting,  and  disposing  of  hazardous  materials  comply  with  the 
Environmental,  Health,  Safety  and  Transportation  Laws,  such  laws  may  be  amended  in  ways  that  increase  our  cost  of 
compliance, perhaps materially.

Furthermore, the potential risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be eliminated, and there is also 
a risk that such contamination previously has occurred in connection with one of our facilities or in connection with one of the 
companies we have purchased. In the event of such an accident or contamination, we could be held liable for any damages that 
result  and  any  related  liability  could  exceed  the  limits  or  fall  outside  the  coverage  of  our  insurance  and  could  exceed  our 
resources. We may not be able to maintain insurance on acceptable terms or at all.

 Our business and operations are subject to risks related to climate change.

The long-term effects of global climate change present both physical risks (from the increased frequency of extreme weather 
conditions  or  natural  disasters)  and  transition  risks  (from  regulatory  requirements  or  technology  changes).  Such  extreme 
weather  conditions  could  pose  physical  risks  to  our  facilities  and  disrupt  operation  of  our  supply  chain  and  may  impact 
operational costs. Concern over global climate change could result in new legal or regulatory requirements designed to mitigate 
the effects of climate change on the environment. If such laws or regulations are more stringent than current legal or regulatory 
requirements, we may experience increased compliance burdens and costs to meet the regulatory obligations and such measures 
may  interrupt  our  operations  or  the  operations  of  our  suppliers,  potentially  leading  to  higher  costs,  and  therefore  negatively 
impact our results of operations.

We are subject to requirements relating to information technology which could adversely affect our business.

If  we  are  unable  to  maintain  reliable  information  technology  systems  and  prevent  disruptions,  outages,  or  data  breaches,  we 
may suffer regulatory consequences in addition to business consequences. Our worldwide operations means that we are subject 
to laws and regulations, including data protection and cyber security laws and regulations, in many jurisdictions. The variety of 
U.S.  and  international  privacy  and  cybersecurity  laws  and  regulations  impacting  our  operations  are  described  in  “Item  1. 
Business  -  Government  Regulation  -  Other  Factors  -  Data  Privacy  and  Cybersecurity  Laws  and  Regulations."  We  have 
programs to ensure compliance with such laws and regulations. However, there is no guarantee that we will avoid enforcement 
actions  by  governmental  bodies.  Enforcement  actions  may  be  costly  and  interrupt  regular  operations  of  our  business.  In 
addition,  there  has  been  a  developing  trend  of  civil  lawsuits  and  class  actions  relating  to  breaches  of  consumer  data  held  by 
large  companies  or  incidents  arising  from  other  cyber-attacks.  While  Integra  has  not  been  named  in  any  such  suits,  if  a 
substantial breach or loss of data were to occur, we could become a target of such litigation.

RISKS RELATED TO TAX AND DEBT

We may have additional tax liabilities.

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and many foreign jurisdictions and are commonly audited by various tax authorities. 
In  the  ordinary  course  of  our  business,  there  are  many  transactions  and  calculations  where  the  ultimate  tax  determination  is 
uncertain. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. Although we believe that 
our  tax  estimates  are  reasonable,  the  final  determination  of  tax  audits  and  any  related  litigation  could  be  materially  different 
from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit or litigation could have a material, adverse effect 
on our financial statements in the period or periods for which that determination is made.

Changes in tax laws or exposures to additional tax liabilities could negatively impact the Company's operating results.

We are subject to income taxes, as well as taxes that are not income-based, in both the U.S. and many foreign jurisdictions. Our 
future effective tax rate could be unfavorably affected by numerous factors including a change in, or the interpretation of, tax 
rules and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate (including changes in legislation currently being considered), a 
change in our geographic earnings mix, and/or to the jurisdictions in which we operate, or a change in the measurement of our 
deferred taxes.

25

Our leverage and debt service obligations could adversely affect our business.

Our leverage and debt service obligations could adversely affect our business. As of December 31, 2021, our total consolidated 
external debt was approximately $1.6 billion (See Item 7 and Note 5,5 Debt of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
(Part  II,  Item  8  of  this  Form  10-K)  for  a  discussion  of  our  consolidated  external  debt).  We  may  also  incur  additional 
indebtedness in the future. Our substantial indebtedness could have material, adverse consequences, including:

• making it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations;
•

increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic, regulatory and industry conditions, and placing us at a disadvantage 
compared to our competitors that are less leveraged;
limiting our ability to compete and our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the 
industry in which we operate; and
limiting our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general 
corporate or other purposes.

•

•

Our  debt  service  obligations  will  require  us  to  use  a  portion  of  our  operating  cash  flow  to  pay  interest  and  principal  on 
indebtedness  instead  of  for  other  corporate  purposes,  including  funding  future  expansion  of  our  business,  acquisitions,  and 
ongoing capital expenditures, which could impede our growth. In addition, our ability to comply with, renegotiate or extend the 
Company’s  debt  obligations  will  depend  on  our  operating  and  financial  performance,  which  in  turn  is  subject  to  prevailing 
economic  conditions  and  financial,  business  and  other  factors  beyond  our  control.Any  disruptions  in  our  operations,  the 
financial markets, or the overall economy, including as a result of COVID-19, may adversely affect the availability and cost of 
credit to us and/or our ability to comply with our existing obligations.

Changes in the calculation and or complete replacement of LIBOR could have an impact on our business.

The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced in July 2017 that it will no 
longer  persuade  or  require  banks  to  submit  rates  for  LIBOR.  On  March  5,  2021,  the  ICE  Benchmark  Administration,  which 
administers LIBOR, and the FCA announced that all LIBOR settings will either cease to be provided by any administrator, or 
no longer be representative immediately after December 31, 2021, for all non-U.S. dollar LIBOR settings and one-week and 
two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings, and immediately after June 30, 2023 for the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings. We 
have multiple debt facilities which utilizes a variable rate equal to Eurodollar LIBOR rate as a component of our interest rate. 
This  transition  away  from  LIBOR  as  a  common  reference  rate  in  the  global  financial  market  could  have  a  material,  adverse 
effect on our business. Management continues to monitor the status and discussions regarding LIBOR.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Our  intellectual  property  rights  may  not  provide  meaningful  commercial  protection  for  our  products,  potentially  enabling 
third parties to use our technology or very similar technology and could reduce our ability to compete in the market.

To  compete  effectively,  we  depend,  in  part,  on  our  ability  to  maintain  the  proprietary  nature  of  our  technologies  and 
manufacturing processes, which includes the ability to obtain, protect and enforce patents on our technology and to protect our 
trade secrets. We own or have licensed patents that cover aspects of some of our product lines. Our patents, however, may not 
provide us with any significant competitive advantage. Others may challenge our patents and, as a result, our patents could be 
narrowed,  invalidated  or  rendered  unenforceable.  Competitors  may  develop  products  similar  to  ours  that  our  patents  do  not 
cover.  In  addition,  the  approval  or  rejection  of  patent  applications  may  take  several  years  and  our  current  and  future  patent 
applications may not result in the issuance of patents in the U.S. or foreign countries.

Our competitive position depends, in part, upon unpatented trade secrets, which we may be unable to protect.

Our  competitive  position  also  depends  upon  unpatented  trade  secrets,  which  are  difficult  to  protect.  We  cannot  assure  that 
others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access 
to our trade secrets, that our trade secrets will not be disclosed or that we can effectively protect our rights to unpatented trade 
secrets.

In  an  effort  to  protect  our  trade  secrets,  we  require  our  employees,  consultants  and  advisors  to  execute  confidentiality  and 
invention assignment agreements upon commencement of employment or consulting relationships with us. These agreements 
provide that, except in specified circumstances, all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during 
the  course  of  their  relationships  with  us  must  be  kept  confidential.  We  cannot  assure,  however,  that  these  agreements  will 
provide  meaningful  protection  for  our  trade  secrets  or  other  proprietary  information  in  the  event  of  the  unauthorized  use  or 
disclosure of confidential information.

26

Our  success  will  depend  partly  on  our  ability  to  operate  without  infringing  or  misappropriating  the  proprietary  rights  of 
others.

We may be sued for infringing the intellectual property rights of others. In addition, we may find it necessary, if threatened, to 
initiate a lawsuit seeking a declaration from a court that we do not infringe the proprietary rights of others or that their rights are 
invalid or unenforceable. If we do not prevail in any litigation, in addition to any damages we might have to pay, we would be 
required to stop the infringing activity (which could include a cessation of selling the products in question) or obtain a license 
for  the  proprietary  rights  involved.  Any  required  license  may  be  unavailable  to  us  on  acceptable  terms,  if  at  all.  In  addition, 
some licenses may be nonexclusive and allow our competitors to access the same technology we license.

If  we  fail  to  obtain  a  required  license  or  are  unable  to  design  our  products  so  as  not  to  infringe  on  the  proprietary  rights  of 
others, we may be unable to sell some of our products, and this potential inability could have a material, adverse effect on our 
revenues and profitability.

We  may  be  involved  in  lawsuits  relating  to  our  intellectual  property  rights  and  promotional  practices,  which  may  be 
expensive.

To protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, we may have to initiate or defend legal proceedings, such as infringement 
suits  or  opposition  proceedings,  against  or  by  third  parties.  In  addition,  we  may  have  to  institute  proceedings  regarding  our 
competitors’  promotional  practices  or  defend  proceedings  regarding  our  promotional  practices.  Legal  proceedings  are  costly, 
and, even if we prevail, the cost of the legal proceedings could affect our profitability. In addition, litigation is time-consuming 
and could divert management's attention and resources away from our business. Moreover, in response to our claims against 
other parties, those parties could assert counterclaims against us.

RISKS RELATED TO GLOBAL OPERATIONS

If any of our facilities or those of our suppliers were damaged and/or our manufacturing or business processes interrupted, 
we could experience lost revenues and our business could be seriously harmed.

Damage to our manufacturing, distribution, development and/or research facilities because of fire, extreme weather conditions, 
natural disaster, power loss, communications failure, geopolitical disruption, unauthorized entry or other events, such as a flu or 
other  health  epidemic,  such  as  COVID-19,  could  significantly  disrupt  our  operations,  the  operations  of  suppliers  and  critical 
infrastructure and delay or prevent product manufacture and shipment during the time required to repair, rebuild or replace the 
damaged facilities. Certain of our manufacturing facilities are located in Puerto Rico, which in the past has experienced both 
severe earthquakes and other natural disasters.Climate change may increase both the frequency and severity of extreme weather 
conditions and natural disasters and, consequently, risks to our operations and growth. Although we maintain property damage 
and  business  interruption  insurance  coverage  on  these  facilities,  our  insurance  might  not  cover  all  losses  under  such 
circumstances,  and  we  may  not  be  able  to  renew  or  obtain  such  insurance  in  the  future  on  acceptable  terms  with  adequate 
coverage or at reasonable costs.

We are exposed to a variety of risks relating to our international sales and operations.

We generate significant revenues outside the U.S. in multiple foreign currencies, and in U.S. dollar-denominated transactions 
conducted  with  customers  who  generate  revenue  in  currencies  other  than  the  U.S.  dollar.  For  those  foreign  customers  who 
purchase  our  products  in  U.S.  dollars,  currency  fluctuations  between  the  U.S.  dollar  and  the  currencies  in  which  those 
customers do business may have a negative impact on the demand for our products in foreign countries where the U.S. dollar 
has increased in value compared to the local currency.

Since we have operations based outside the U.S. and we generate revenues and incur operating expenses in multiple foreign 
currencies, we experience currency exchange risk with respect to those foreign currency-denominated revenues and expenses. 
Our most significant currency exchange risk relates to transactions conducted in Australian dollars, British pounds, Canadian 
dollars, Chinese yuan, euros, Japanese yen, and Swiss francs.

We  cannot  predict  the  consolidated  effects  of  exchange  rate  fluctuations  upon  our  future  operating  results  because  of  the 
number  of  currencies  involved,  the  variability  of  currency  exposure  and  the  potential  volatility  of  currency  exchange  rates. 
Although  we  address  currency  risk  management  through  regular  operating  and  financing  activities,  and,  on  a  limited  basis, 
through the use of derivative financial instruments, those actions may not prove to be fully effective. For a description of our 
use of derivative financial instruments, see Note 6, Derivative Instruments of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
(Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K).

27

Our  international  operations  subject  us  to  laws  regarding  sanctioned  countries,  entities  and  persons,  customs,  import-export, 
laws regarding transactions in foreign countries, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and local anti-bribery and other laws 
regarding  interactions  with  healthcare  professionals,  and  product  registration  requirements.  Among  other  things,  these  laws 
restrict, and in some cases prevent, U.S. companies from directly or indirectly selling goods, technology or services to people or 
entities in certain countries. In addition, these laws require that we exercise care in structuring our sales and marketing practices 
and effecting product registrations in foreign countries.

The United Kingdom’s (“UK”) exit from the European Union on January 31, 2020, commonly referred to as Brexit, has caused, 
and may continue to cause uncertainty in the global political markets. It is possible that Brexit could, among other things, affect 
the  legal  and  regulatory  environments  to  which  our  business  is  subject,  impose  greater  restrictions  on  imports  and  exports 
between the UK and the EU and other parties, and create economic and political uncertainty in the region.

From time to time, proposals are made to significantly change existing trade agreements and relationships between the U.S. and 
other countries. Owing to the complex relationships between the U.S. and such other countries, political, diplomatic, military, 
or other events could result in business disruptions, including increased regulatory enforcement against companies, tariffs, trade 
embargoes, and export restrictions. The imposition of such restrictions could increase the cost of the Company’s products and 
the components and raw materials that go into making them, require the Company to change its operations and the products it 
offers  and  negatively  impact  consumer  confidence  and  spending,  all  of  which,  both  individually  and  in  the  aggregate,  could 
materially and adversely affect our operations and financial results.

GENERAL RISK FACTORS

Cyber-attacks or other disruptions to our information technology systems could adversely affect our business.

We are increasingly dependent on sophisticated information technology for our infrastructure and to support business decisions. 
Our  information  systems  require  an  ongoing  commitment  of  significant  resources  to  maintain,  protect,  and  enhance  existing 
systems  and  develop  new  systems  to  keep  pace  with  continuing  changes  in  information  processing  technology,  evolving 
systems  and  regulatory  standards,  the  increasing  need  to  protect  patient  and  customer  information,  and  changing  customer 
patterns.  An  experienced  third  party  maintains  the  enterprise  business  system  used  to  support  our  transaction  processing, 
accounting  and  financial  reporting,  and  supply  chain  and  manufacturing  processes.  Any  significant  breakdown,  intrusion, 
interruption, corruption, or destruction of these systems, as well as any data breaches, could have a material, adverse effect on 
our business.

Third parties may attempt to breach our systems and may obtain data relating to patients, proprietary or sensitive information. 
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may face increased cybersecurity risks due to our reliance on internet technology 
and the number of our employees who are working remotely, which may create additional opportunities for cybercriminals to 
exploit  vulnerabilities.  If  we,  or  third  parties  on  whom  we  rely,  fail  to  maintain  or  protect  our  information  systems  and  data 
integrity effectively, we could lose existing customers, have difficulty attracting new customers, suffer backlash from negative 
public relations, have regulatory sanctions or penalties imposed, have increases in operating expenses, incur expenses or lose 
revenues as a result of a data privacy breach, or suffer other adverse consequences.

We have programs, processes (including ongoing improvements) and technologies in place to prevent, detect, contain, respond 
to and mitigate  security related threats and potential incidents. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or 
interrupt  services  change  frequently  and  can  be  difficult  to  detect,  anticipating,  identifying  or  preventing  these  threats  or 
mitigating them if and when they occur, may be challenging. We are also dependent on third party vendors to supply and/or 
support  certain  aspects  of  our  information  technology  systems  which  may  contain  defects  in  design  or  manufacture  or  other 
problems that could result in system disruption or unexpectedly compromise the information security of our own systems. In 
addition, as we grow in part through new acquisitions we may face risks due to implementation, modification, or remediation of 
controls,  procedures,  and  policies  relating  to  data  privacy  and  cybersecurity  at  the  acquired  business.  We  continue  to 
consolidate and integrate the number of systems we operate, and to upgrade and expand our information system capabilities for 
stable and secure business operations.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 2021, we lease approximately 166,991 square feet of space in Princeton, NJ, where we house our principal 
headquarters, sales operations, and support functions. This lease expires in 2035.

28

We have key manufacturing and research facilities located in California, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, 
Puerto  Rico,  Tennessee,  Utah,  Canada,  China,  France,  Germany,  Ireland  and  Switzerland.  Our  instrument  procurement 
operations  are  located  in  Germany.  Our  primary  distribution  centers  are  located  in  Nevada,  Ohio,  Kentucky,  Australia, 
Belgium,  Canada,  Japan  and  France.  In  addition,  we  lease  several  smaller  facilities  to  support  additional  administrative, 
assembly, and distribution operations. Third parties own and operate the facilities in Nevada, Kentucky, Japan and Belgium. 
We own facilities in Biot, France, Saint Aubin Le Monial, France, Rietheim-Weilheim, Germany and Ohio and we lease all of 
our  other  facilities.  We  also  have  repair  centers  in  Ohio,  Australia,  France,  Japan,  China  and  Germany,  and  field  service 
presence in Canada, Dubai, India, Italy, Netherlands, Singapore, Thailand and United Kingdom. 

Our  manufacturing  facilities  are  registered  with  the  FDA.  Our  facilities  are  subject  to  FDA  inspection  to  ensure  compliance 
with  Quality  System  regulations.  For  further  information  regarding  the  status  of  FDA  inspections,  see  the  "Government 
Regulation"  and  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  -  Update  on 
Remediation Activities" sections in this Form 10-K.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND 

ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

PART II 

Market Information, Holders and Dividends

Our common stock trades on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “IART.” The number of stockholders of 
record as of February 22, 2022 was approximately 777, which includes stockholders whose shares were held in nominee name. 

Sales of Unregistered Securities 

There were no sales of unregistered securities during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 or 2019. 

Sale of Registered Securities 

There were no sales of registered securities during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 or 2019. 

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities 

On  December  7,  2020,  the  Board  of  Directors  authorized  the  Company  to  repurchase  up  to  $225  million  of  the  Company’s 
common stock. The program allows the Company to repurchase its shares opportunistically from time to time. The repurchase 
authorization  expires  in  December  2022.  This  stock  repurchase  authorization  replaces  the  previous  $225  million  stock 
repurchase authorization, of which $125 million remained authorized at the time of its replacement, and which was otherwise 
set  to  expire  on  December  31,  2020.  Purchases  may  be  affected  through  one  or  more  open  market  transactions,  privately 
negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, or a combination of the foregoing. 

29

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021,  there  were  no  repurchases  of  the  Company’s  common  stock  as  part  of  the  share 
repurchase authorization.

On  January  12,  2022,  the  Company  entered  into  a  $125.0  million  accelerated  share  repurchase  ("2022  ASR")  and  received 
1.5  million  shares  of  Company  common  stock  at  inception  of  the  2022  ASR,  which  represented  approximately  80%  of  the 
expected total shares under the 2022 ASR. The remaining 20% of the expected total shares is expected to settle in the first half 
of 2022, upon which additional shares of common stock may be delivered to the Company or, under certain circumstances, the 
Company  may  be  required  to  make  a  cash  payment  or  may  elect  to  deliver  shares  of  our  common  stock  to  the  2022  ASR 
counterparty in each case pursuant to the terms of the 2022 ASR agreement between the Company and the 2022 ASR counter 
party. The total number of shares to be delivered or the amount of such payment, as well as the final average price per share, 
will be based on the volume-weighted average price, less a discount, of the Company's common stock during the term of the 
transaction.  As  a  result  of  this  transaction,  $100.0  million  remains  available  under  the  $225.0  million  stock  repurchase 
authorization.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 2.1 million shares of Integra’s common stock 
as part of the previous share repurchase authorization. The Company utilized $100.0 million of net proceeds from the offering 
of  convertible  notes  to  execute  the  share  repurchase  transactions.  This  included  $7.6  million  from  certain  purchasers  of  the 
convertible  notes  in  conjunction  with  the  closing  of  the  offering.  On  February  5,  2020,  the  Company  entered  into  a 
$92.4 million accelerated share repurchase ("2020 ASR") to complete the remaining $100.0 million of share repurchase. The 
Company received 1.3 million shares at inception of the 2020 ASR, which represented approximately 80% of the expected total 
shares.  Upon  settlement  of  the  2020  ASR  in  June  2020,  the  Company  received  an  additional  0.6  million  shares  determined 
using the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the term of the transaction.

GENERAL

Integra, headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, is a world leader in medical technology. The Company was founded in 1989 
with the acquisition of an engineered collagen technology platform used to repair and regenerate tissue. Since then, Integra has 
developed numerous product lines from this technology for applications ranging from burn and deep tissue wounds to the repair 
of dura mater in the brain, as well as nerves and tendons. The Company has expanded its base regenerative technology business 
to  include  surgical  instruments,  neurosurgical  products  and  advanced  wound  care  through  a  combination  of  several  global 
acquisitions and product development to meet the needs of its customers and impact patient care. 

Integra  manufactures  and  sells  medical  technologies  and  products  in  two  reportable  business  segments:  Codman  Specialty 
Surgical ("CSS") and Tissue Technologies ("TT"). The CSS segment, which represents two-thirds of our total revenue, consists 
of  market-leading  technologies  and  instrumentation  used  for  a  wide  range  of  specialties,  such  as  neurosurgery,  neurocritical 
care  and  otolaryngology.  We  are  the  world  leader  in  neurosurgery  and  one  of  the  top  three  providers  in  instruments  used  in 
precision,  specialty,  and  general  surgical  procedures.  Our  TT  segment  generates  about  one-third  of  our  overall  revenue  and 
focuses on three main areas: complex wound surgery, surgical reconstruction, and peripheral nerve repair.

We have key manufacturing and research facilities located in California, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, 
Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Utah, Canada, China, France, Germany, Ireland and Switzerland. We also source most of our handheld 
surgical instruments and dural sealant products through specialized third-party vendors.

Integra  is  committed  to  delivering  high  quality  products  that  positively  impact  the  lives  of  millions  of  patients  and  their 
families. We focus on four key pillars of our strategy: 1) enabling an execution-focused culture, 2) optimizing relevant scale, 3) 
advancing  innovation  and  agility,  and  4)  leading  in  customer  experience.  We  believe  that  by  sharpening  our  focus  on  these 
areas  through  improved  planning  and  communication,  optimization  of  our  infrastructure,  and  strategically  aligned  tuck-in 
acquisitions, we can build scale, increase competitiveness and achieve our long-term goals.

To this end, the executive leadership team has established the following key priorities aligned to the following areas of focus:

Strategic Acquisitions. An important part of the Company's strategy is pursuing strategic transactions and licensing agreements 
that  increase  relevant  scale  in  the  clinical  areas  in  which  Integra  competes.  During  2021,  the  Company  acquired  ACell  Inc. 
("ACell"),  an  innovative  regenerative  medicine  company  specializing  in  the  manufacturing  of  porcine  urinary  bladder 
extracellular matrices. This acquisition not only expanded the Company’s product offering of regenerative technologies, but it 
also supported the Company’s long-term growth and profitability strategy as this product line has a financial profile similar to 
Integra’s  other  regenerative  tissue  products.  All  critical  components  of  ACell  have  been  integrated  into  the  Company’s  TT 
segment. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this 
Form 10-K) for additional details. In 2021, we continued to advance the development of pioneering neurosurgical technologies 
from our 2019 acquisitions, Arkis Biosciences, Inc. and Rebound Therapeutics Corporation.

Portfolio Optimization and New Product Introductions. We are investing in innovative product development to drive a multi-
generational  pipeline  for  our  key  product  franchises.  Our  product  development  efforts  span  across  our  key  global  franchises 
focused on potential for significant returns on investment. In addition to new product development, we are funding studies to 
gather  clinical  evidence  to  support  launches,  ensure  market  access  and  improve  reimbursement  for  existing  products.  In 
addition  to  acquisitions  and  organic  reinvestment,  we  continually  look  to  optimize  our  portfolio  towards  higher  growth  and 
higher margin businesses. As such, we may opportunistically divest businesses or discontinue products where we see limited 
runway for future value creation in line with our aspirations due in part to changes in the market, business fundamentals or the 
regulatory environment.

In January 2021, we completed the sale of our Extremity Orthopedics business to Smith & Nephew USD Limited ("Smith & 
Nephew"), a subsidiary of Smith & Nephew plc, for approximately $240 million in cash. This transaction enables us to increase 
our  investments  in  our  core  neurosurgery  and  tissue  technologies  businesses  and  fund  pipeline  opportunities  to  expand  our 
addressable  markets  to  strengthen  our  existing  leadership  positions  in  these  segments  and  drive  future  growth.  See  Note  4, 
Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for details.

Commercial  Channel  Investments.  Investing  in  our  sales  channels  is  a  core  part  of  our  strategy  to  create  specialization  and 
greater focus on reaching new and existing customers and addressing their needs. To support our commercial efforts in Tissue 
Technologies,  we  expanded  our  two-tier  specialist  model  to  increase  our  presence  in  focused  segments  by  creating  a  virtual 
selling organization to help serve the evolving needs of our customers. In addition, we continue to build upon our leadership 
brands across our product franchises in both CSS and TT to engage customers through enterprise-wide contracts with leading 
hospitals,  integrated  delivery  networks  and  global  purchasing  organizations  in  the  United  States.  Internationally,  we  have 
increased  our  commercial  resources  significantly  in  key  emerging  markets  and  are  making  investments  to  support  our  sales 
organization and maximize our commercial opportunities. These investments in our international sales channel position us well 
for expansion and long-term growth. 

31

Customer Experience. We aspire to be ranked as a best-in-class provider and are committed to strengthen our relationships with 
all customers. We continue to invest in technologies, systems and processes to enhance the customer experience. Additionally, 
we launched digital tools and programs, resources and virtual product training to drive continued customer familiarity with our 
growing portfolio of medical technologies globally.

Clinical and Product Development Activities

We continue to invest in collecting clinical evidence to support the Company's existing products and new product launches, and 
to ensure that we obtain market access for broader and more cost-effective solutions. In each area, we continue to benefit from 
products launched over the past several years, including our new electrosurgery generator and irrigator system, an innovative 
customer-centric toolkit for our Certas Plus Programmable Valve along with additional shunt configurations. In Japan, we are 
experiencing strong growth as a result of the successful launch of DuraGen in mid-2019, which is the first and only collagen 
xenograft approved for use as a dural substitute in the country. We are focused on the development of core clinical applications 
in our electromechanical technologies portfolio. Also, we continue to update our CUSA Clarity platform by incorporating new 
ultrasonic  handpiece,  surgical  tips  and  integrated  electrosurgical  capabilities.  We  continue  to  work  with  several  instrument 
partners to bring new surgical instrument platforms to the market. 

In  the  third  quarter  of  2021,  our  CereLink  ICP  Monitor  System  was  launched  in  the  U.S.  and  Europe.  CereLink  provides 
enhanced  accuracy,  usability  and  advanced  data  presentation  that  provides  clinicians  with  uncompromised,  advanced 
continuous ICP monitoring that until now, has not been available when treating patients with traumatic brain injuries.

We  continued  to  advance  the  early-stage  technology  platforms  we  acquired  in  2019.  Through  the  acquisition  of  Arkis 
Biosciences,  we  added  a  platform  technology,  CerebroFlo®  external  ventricular  drainage  ("EVD"),  catheter  with  Endexo® 
technology,  a  permanent  additive  designed  to  reduce  the  potential  for  catheter  obstruction  due  to  thrombus  formation.  The 
CerebroFlo EVD Catheter has demonstrated an average of 99% less thrombus accumulation onto its surface, in vitro, compared 
to a market leading EVD catheter. In 2019, we also acquired Rebound Therapeutics, a Company that specialized in a single-use 
medical device, known as Aurora Surgiscope, which is the only tubular retractor system designed for cranial surgery with an 
integrated  access  channel,  camera  and  lighting.  In  the  third  quarter  of  2021,  we  conducted  a  limited  clinical  launch  of  the 
Aurora Surgiscope for use in minimally invasive neurosurgery as well as initiated a registry called MIRROR to collect data on 
early surgical intervention using this same technology platform for the treatment of ICH.

Within  our  TT  segment,  during  2020,  we  announced  positive  clinical  and  economic  data  on  Integra®  Bilayer  Wound  Matrix 
("IBWM")  in  complex  lower  extremity  reconstruction  based  on  two  retrospective  studies  recently  published  in  Plastic  and 
Reconstructive  Surgery,  the  official  journal  of  the  American  Society  of  Plastic  Surgeons.  As  surgeons  look  for  ways  to 
efficiently and effectively repair and close wounds, IBWM helps address the efficiency needed in operating rooms by reducing 
both  the  operating  time  and  costs  to  hospitals  and  patients.  In  2021,  we  completed  one  of  the  largest  diabetic  foot  ulcers 
("DFU"), randomized controlled trials of the PriMatrix® Dermal Repair Scaffold for the management of DFU. This multi-center 
study enrolled more than 225 patients with chronic DFU's over the course of 12-week treatments and 4-week follow-up phases. 
The results of this study, which was published in the Journal of Wound Care, demonstrated that PriMatrix plus standard of care 
("SOC") consisting of sharp debridement, infection elimination, use of dressings and offloading was significantly more likely to 
achieve complete wound closure compared with SOC alone, with a median number of one application of the product. 

COVID-19 Pandemic

During this global crisis, the Company's focus remained on supporting patients, providing customers with life-saving products, 
and  protecting  the  well-being  of  our  employees.  The  global  COVID-19  pandemic,  together  with  the  preventative  and 
precautionary measures taken by businesses, communities and governments, has resulted in an unprecedented challenge to the 
global healthcare industry. In response to the pandemic, we acted swiftly by implementing protocols to ensure continuity of our 
manufacturing and distribution sites around the world and to provide for the safety of our employees. 

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have widespread and unpredictable impacts and the Company has continued to manage 
the  risks  in  this  uncertain  environment.  We  remain  confident  that  the  underlying  markets  in  which  the  Company  competes 
remain  attractive.  We  also  remain  focused  on  managing  the  business  for  the  long-term.  The  Company's  adaptability  and 
resiliency in the face of this unprecedented crisis is made possible in part by prior investments in technology infrastructure and 
operations, as well as our talented and committed global workforce.

32

Capital markets and worldwide economies have also been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible 
that it could cause a local and/or global economic recession. Any such economic recession could have a material adverse effect 
on  the  Company's  long-term  business  as  hospitals  curtail  and  reduce  capital  as  well  as  overall  spending.  The  COVID-19 
pandemic  and  local  actions,  such  as  “shelter-in-place”  orders  and  restrictions  on  travel  and  access  to  our  customers  or 
temporary closures of our facilities or the facilities of our suppliers and their contract manufacturers, disruption and/or higher 
costs to the Company’s supply chain, staffing shortages in hospitals and labor constraints in our facilities, could further impact 
our  sales  and  our  ability  to  ship  our  products  and  supply  our  customers.  Any  of  these  events  could  negatively  impact  the 
number of surgical and medical intervention procedures performed and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial 
condition, results of operations, or cash flows. 

FDA Matters

We manufacture and distribute products derived from human tissue for which FDA has specific regulations governing human 
cells, tissues and cellular and tissue-based products ("HCT/Ps"). An HCT/P is a product containing or consisting of human cells 
or  tissue  intended  for  transplantation  into  a  human  patient.  Refer  to  Item  1.  Business  and  Item  1A.  Risk  Factors  for  further 
details  around  these  FDA  regulations  and  their  potential  effect  on  the  Company's  portfolio  of  morselized  amniotic  material-
based products as well as the impact on consolidated revenues.

On March 7, 2019, TEI Biosciences, Inc. ("TEI") a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company received a Warning Letter (the 
“Warning  Letter”),  dated  March  6,  2019,  from  the  FDA.  The  warning  letter  related  to  quality  systems  issues  at  TEI's 
manufacturing facility located in Boston, Massachusetts. The letter resulted from an inspection held at that facility in October 
and November 2018 and did not identify any new observations that were not already provided in the Form 483 that followed 
the inspection. The Company submitted its initial response to the FDA Warning Letter on March 28, 2019 and provides regular 
progress reports to the FDA as to its corrective actions and, since the conclusion of the inspection, has undertaken significant 
efforts to remediate the observations and continues to do so. On October 28, 2021 FDA initiated an inspection of the facility 
and  at  the  conclusion  of  the  inspection  issued  a  Form  483  on  November  12,  2021  (the  "2021  Form  483").  The  Company 
provided  an  initial  response  to  the  inspectional  observations  and  will  continue  to  provide  responses  to  FDA.  The  Warning 
Letter and the 2021 Form 483 do not restrict the Company’s ability to manufacture or ship products or require the recall of any 
products, nor do they restrict our ability to seek FDA 510(k) clearance of products. The Warning Letter states that requests for 
Certificates to Foreign Governments would not be granted. However, due to our monthly progress reports, the FDA agreed to 
issue Certificates to Foreign Governments for the products manufactured at TEI due to substantial progress and the length of 
time  it  takes  to  resolve  the  Warning  Letter.  Additionally,  premarket  approval  applications  for  Class  III  devices  to  which  the 
Quality System regulation violations are reasonably related will not be approved until the violations have been corrected. The 
TEI  Boston  facility  manufactures  extracellular  bovine  matrix  products.  We  cannot  give  any  assurances  that  the  FDA  will  be 
satisfied with our response to the Warning Letter or as to the expected date of the resolution of the matters included in the letter. 
Until  the  issues  cited  in  the  letter  are  resolved  to  the  FDA’s  satisfaction,  the  FDA  may  initiate  additional  regulatory  action 
without  further  notice.  Any  adverse  regulatory  action,  depending  on  its  magnitude,  may  restrict  us  from  effectively 
manufacturing, marketing and selling our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition 
and results of operations.

Revenues of products manufactured in the TEI Boston facility for the year ended December 31, 2021 were approximately 4.7% 
of consolidated revenues.

ACQUISITIONS & DIVESTITURES

Divestiture

On  January  4,  2021,  the  Company  completed  its  sale  of  its  Extremity  Orthopedics  business  to  Smith  &  Nephew.  The 
transaction included the sale of the Company's upper and lower Extremity Orthopedics product portfolio, including ankle and 
shoulder arthroplasty and hand and wrist product lines. The Company received an aggregate purchase price of $240.0 million 
from  Smith  &  Nephew  and  concurrently  paid  $41.5  million  to  the  Consortium  of  Focused  Orthopedists,  LLC  ("CFO"), 
effectively terminating the licensing agreement between Integra and CFO relating to the development of shoulder arthroplasty 
products. The Company recognized a gain of $41.8 million in connection with the sale that is presented in "Gain from the sale 
of business" in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December, 31, 2021. See Note 4, Acquisitions and 
Divestitures of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for details.

Acquisitions

Our growth strategy includes the acquisition of businesses, assets or products lines to increase the breadth of our offerings and 
the  reach  of  our  product  portfolios  and  drive  relevant  scale  to  our  customers.  As  a  result  of  several  acquisitions  from  2019 
through  2021,  our  financial  results  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021  may  not  be  directly  comparable  to  those  of  the 
corresponding prior-year periods. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
(Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for a further discussion.

33

ACell Inc.

On  January  20,  2021,  the  Company  acquired  ACell,  Inc.  for  an  acquisition  purchase  price  of  $306.9  million  plus  contingent 
consideration  obligations  of  up  to  $100  million,  that  may  be  payable  upon  achieving  certain  revenue-based  performance 
milestones in 2022, 2023 and 2025. ACell was a privately-held company that offered a portfolio of regenerative products for 
complex wound management, including developing and commercializing products based on MatriStem Urinary Bladder Matrix 
("UBM"),  a  technology  platform  derived  from  porcine  urinary  bladder  extracellular  matrix.  See  Note  4,  Acquisitions  and 
Divestitures of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for details.

Arkis BioSciences Inc.

On July 29, 2019, the Company acquired Arkis BioSciences Inc. ("Arkis") for an acquisition purchase price of $30.6 million 
(the  "Arkis  Acquisition")  plus  contingent  consideration  of  up  to  $25.5  million,  that  may  be  payable  based  on  the  successful 
completion  of  certain  development  and  commercial  milestones.  The  Company  estimated  the  fair  value  of  the  contingent 
consideration to be $13.1 million at the acquisition date. The Company estimated fair value of the contingent consideration as 
of December 31, 2021 to be $15.1 million. The Company recorded $3.7 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities 
and  $11.4  million  in  other  liabilities  at  December  31,  2021  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  the  Company.  Arkis  was  a 
privately-held company that marketed the CerebroFlo external ventricular drainage ("EVD") catheter with Endexo technology, 
a  permanent  additive  designed  to  reduce  the  potential  for  catheter  obstruction  due  to  clotting.  See  Note  4,  Acquisitions  and 
Divestitures of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for details.

Rebound Therapeutics Corporation

On  September  9,  2019,  the  Company  acquired  Rebound  Therapeutics  Corporation  (“Rebound”),  developers  of  a  single-use 
medical device known as the Aurora which enables minimally invasive access, using optics and illumination, for visualization, 
diagnostic and therapeutic use in neurosurgery (the “Rebound transaction”). Under the terms of the Rebound transaction, the 
Company  made  an  upfront  payment  of  $67.1  million  and  committed  to  pay  up  to  $35.0  million  of  contingent  development 
milestones upon achievement of certain regulatory milestones. The acquisition of Rebound was primarily concentrated in one 
single identifiable asset and thus, for accounting purposes, the Company concluded that the acquired assets did not meet the 
accounting  definition  of  a  business.  The  initial  payment  was  allocated  primarily  to  Aurora,  resulting  in  a  $59.9  million  in-
process research and development ("IPR&D") expense. The balance of approximately $7.2 million, which included $2.1 million 
of cash and cash equivalents and a net deferred tax asset of $4.2 million, was allocated to the remaining net assets acquired. The 
deferred tax asset primarily resulted from a federal net operating loss carryforward. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures of 
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for details.

OPTIMIZATION AND INTEGRATION ACTIVITIES 

As  a  result  of  our  ongoing  acquisition  strategy  and  significant  growth  in  recent  years,  we  have  undertaken  cost-saving 
initiatives  to  consolidate  manufacturing  operations,  distribution  facilities  and  transfer  activities,  implement  a  common  ERP 
system,  eliminate  duplicative  positions,  realign  various  sales  and  marketing  activities,  and  expand  and  upgrade  production 
capacity for our regenerative technology products. These efforts are expected to continue and while we expect a positive impact 
from ongoing restructuring, integration, and manufacturing transfer and expansion activities, such results remain uncertain. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Summary

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $169.1 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, compared to $133.9 million, 
or $1.57 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 
2021,  was  primarily  driven  by  higher  revenues  across  most  franchises  driven  by  continued  recovery  in  surgical  procedure 
volumes from prior year COVID-19 pandemic levels. This was partially offset by higher operating expenses as costs continued 
to normalize after 2020 cost reduction actions. Within non-operating income and expense, the Company benefited from lower 
interest expense, higher other income and a gain of $41.8 million as a result of the sale of its Extremity Orthopedics business to 
Smith  &  Nephew.  The  Company  also  had  a  net  tax  benefit  in  2020  due  to  the  impact  of  the  intra-entity  transfer  of  certain 
intellectual property which resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax benefit in the amount of $59.2 million.

(1) Upon adoption of ASU No. 2020-06, the Company will no longer incur non-cash interest expense for the amortization of debt discount. See 

Note 1, Basis of Presentation of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K), for details.

We typically define special charges as items for which the amounts and/or timing of such expenses may vary significantly from 
period to period, depending upon our acquisition, divestiture, integration and restructuring activities, and for which the amounts 
are non-cash in nature, or for which the amounts are not expected to recur at the same magnitude. We believe that given our 
ongoing  strategy  of  seeking  acquisitions,  our  continuing  focus  on  rationalizing  our  existing  manufacturing  and  distribution 
infrastructure and our continuing review of various product lines in relation to our current business strategy, some of the special 
charges discussed above could recur with similar materiality in the future.

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021,  total  revenues  increased  by  $170.6  million,  or  12.4%,  to  $1,542.4  million  from 
$1,371.9 million during the prior year. Domestic revenues increased by $117.6 million, or 12.1%, to $1,089.5 million and were 
70.6% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021. International revenues increased by $53.0 million or 13.3% to 
$452.9  million,  compared  to  $399.9  million  during  2020.  The  increase  in  revenues  was  primarily  driven  by  recovery 
experienced from the COVID-19 pandemic across most franchises compared to the prior year. Foreign exchange fluctuations 
had a favorable impact of $9.8 million on revenues for the year.

In the CSS segment, revenues were $1,025.2 million which was an increase of $130.4 million, or 14.6% as compared to the 
prior-year period as a result of the continued recovery experienced from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the launch of our new 
CereLink™  ICP  monitoring  system  in  the  third  quarter  in  U.S.  and  European  markets.  The  Company  saw  growth  within  our 
Neurosurgery  portfolio  increasing  low  double  digits  primarily  due  to  sales  in  neuromonitoring,  advanced  energy  and  dural 
access and repair. Sales in our instruments portfolio increased low double digits as compared to the same period in the prior 
year driven by order recovery.

In the TT segment, revenues were $517.2 million, which was an increase of $40.2 million, or 8.4% as compared to the prior-
year period. Within TT, our Extremity Orthopedics business was divested on January 4, 2021 and the acquisition of ACell was 
completed  on  January  20,  2021.  Sales  in  our  Wound  Reconstruction  business,  excluding  the  impact  of  the  divestiture  and 
acquisition, increased low double digits. Sales in our Private Label business increased low double digits as a result of continued 
recovery experienced from the COVID-19 pandemic.

As we look forward to 2022 and beyond, we continue to closely monitor local, regional, and global COVID-19 surges as well 
as  recent  variants  of  the  virus  for  an  impact  on  procedures.  The  reallocation  of  hospital  resources  to  treat  COVID-19  and 
staffing shortages may continue to cause a financial strain on healthcare systems and reduce procedural volumes. 

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $944.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $93.6 million from $851.0 million for 
the same period last year. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 61.2% in 2021 and 62.0% in 2020. The decrease in 
gross  margin  percentage  was  due  to  increased  amortization  associated  with  technology-based  intangible  assets  and  inventory 
step-up amortization in connection with the acquisition of ACell.

Total operating expenses, which consist of research and development, selling, general and administrative, and intangible asset 
amortization expenses, increased by $47.7 million or 6.8% to $747.4 million in 2021, compared to $699.7 million in the prior 
year. The increase in operating expenses compared to the prior year reflects costs associated with higher employee related costs, 
increased  research  and  development  as  well  as  increased  outside  spending  as  revenue  recovered.  We  also  benefited  from 
reduced operating expenses from the sale of the Extremity Orthopedics business and cost synergies as a result of the acquisition 
of ACell.

The Company continues to manage and prioritize its operating costs to increase organic investments that will drive long-term 
growth  including  the  support  of  new  product  development  and  introductions,  clinical  studies,  geographic  expansion  and 
targeted U.S. sales channel expansion. 

Research and Development 

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $15.7 million as compared to the prior 
year. This increase in spending resulted from additional spending on new product development, clinical studies and spending 
related to European Union Medical Device Regulation compliance activities.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $42.9 million as compared to 
the prior year driven primarily due to higher employee related costs, higher incentive and stock-based compensation, as well as 
increased outside spending as revenue recovered.

Intangible Asset Amortization

Amortization expense (excluding amounts reported in cost of product revenues for technology-based intangible assets) in 2021 
was  $16.9  million  compared  to  $27.8  million  in  2020  primarily  due  to  a  reduction  in  amortization  expense  associated  with 
intangible  assets  sold  in  conjunction  with  the  sale  of  the  Extremity  Orthopedics  business  during  the  current  year  as  well  as 
accelerated amortization expense associated with an intangible asset which was recorded in the prior year.

We  may  discontinue  certain  products  in  the  future  as  we  continue  to  assess  the  profitability  of  our  product  lines.  As  our 
profitability assessment evolves, we may make further decisions about our trade names and incur additional impairment charges 
or  accelerated  amortization.  We  expect  total  annual  amortization  expense  to  be  approximately  $79.1  million  in  2022,  $78.4 
million in 2023, $77.7 million in 2024, $77.7 million in 2025, $77.6 million in 2026 and $585.8 million thereafter.

Interest  income  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021  decreased  by  $2.6  million  as  compared  to  the  same  period  last  year 
primarily due to the settlement of cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges during Q4 2020.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased by $21.2 million as compared to the same period last year 
primarily due to the elimination of the non-cash interest expense as the result of the adoption ASU 2020-06 and the expenses 
associated with Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement which occurred in the prior period. See Note 2, Summary of 
Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for details 
in relation to the adoption of ASU 2020-06.

Gain from the sale of business

On  January  4,  2021,  the  Company  completed  its  sale  of  its  Extremity  Orthopedics  business  and  recognized  a  gain  of  $41.8 
million in the first quarter of the current year.

37

 
 
 
 
 
 
Other Income, Net

Other income, net for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $14.9 million primarily due to income associated with 
the transition services agreement with Smith & Nephew, favorable impact of foreign exchange in the current year and higher 
income from additional cross currency swaps that were entered into during Q4 2020.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was 21.2% and (43.2)% of income before income taxes in 2021 and 2020, respectively. See Note 
13, Income Taxes, in our consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of the United States federal statutory rate to our 
effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate could vary from year to year depending on, among other factors, tax law changes, the 
geographic and business mix and taxable earnings and losses. We consider these factors and others, including our history of 
generating taxable earnings, in assessing our ability to realize deferred tax assets. 

In  December  2020,  the  Company  completed  an  intra-entity  transfer  of  certain  intellectual  property  rights  to  one  of  its 
subsidiaries in Switzerland. While the transfer did not result in a taxable gain; the Company’s Swiss subsidiary received a step-
up in tax basis based on the fair value of the transferred intellectual property rights. The Company determined the fair value 
using a discounted cash flow model based on expectations of revenue growth rates, royalty rates, discount rates, and useful lives 
of  the  intellectual  property.  The  Company  recorded  a  $59.2  million  deferred  tax  benefit  in  Switzerland  related  to  the 
amortizable tax basis in the transferred intellectual property.

Our effective tax rate could vary from year to year depending on, among other factors, tax law changes, the geographic and 
business mix and taxable earnings and losses. We consider these factors and others, including our history of generating taxable 
earnings, in assessing our ability to realize deferred tax assets. We estimate our worldwide effective income tax rate for 2022 to 
be approximately 18.4%.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had $9.8 million of valuation allowance against the remaining $190.7 million of gross 
deferred  tax  assets  recorded  at  December  31,  2021.  Our  deferred  tax  asset  valuation  allowance  decreased  by  $0.1  million  in 
2021  and  remained  substantially  unchanged  in  2020.  This  valuation  allowance  relates  to  deferred  tax  assets  for  which  the 
Company does not believe it has satisfied the more likely than not threshold for realization.

At December 31, 2021, we had net operating loss carryforwards of $71.7 million for federal income tax purposes, $26.6 million 
for foreign income tax purposes and $39.0 million for state income tax purposes to offset future taxable income. The federal net 
operating loss carryforwards decreased during 2021 due to the use of net operating losses. Of the total federal net operating loss 
carryforwards,  $67.5  million  expire  through  2037  and  $4.1  million  have  an  indefinite  carryforward  period.  Regarding  the 
foreign  net  operating  loss  carryforwards,  $26.6  million  have  an  indefinite  carryforward  period.  The  state  net  operating  loss 
carryforwards expire in 2036.

As  of  December  31,  2021,  the  Company  has  not  provided  deferred  income  taxes  on  unrepatriated  earnings  from  foreign 
subsidiaries as they are deemed to be indefinitely reinvested. Such taxes would primarily be attributable to foreign withholding 
taxes  and  local  income  taxes  when  such  earnings  are  distributed.  As  such,  the  Company  has  determined  the  tax  impact  of 
repatriating these earnings would not be material as of December 31, 2021.

The  Company  generates  significant  revenues  outside  the  U.S.,  a  portion  of  which  are  U.S.  dollar-denominated  transactions 
conducted  with  customers  that  generate  revenue  in  currencies  other  than  the  U.S.  dollar.  As  a  result,  currency  fluctuations 
between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which those customers do business could have an impact on the demand for the 
Company's  products  in  foreign  countries.  Local  economic  conditions,  regulatory  compliance  or  political  considerations,  the 
effectiveness  of  our  sales  representatives  and  distributors,  local  competition  and  changes  in  local  medical  practice  all  may 
combine to affect our sales into markets outside the U.S.

Domestic revenues increased by $117.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period last year. 
European sales increased by $18.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period last year. Sales 
to customers in Asia Pacific increased by $24.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period last 
year. The Rest of the World for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $9.5 million compared to the same period last 
year.  The  increase  in  revenues  globally  was  primarily  driven  by  the  continued  recovery  experienced  from  the  COVID-19 
pandemic across all franchises compared to the prior year due to rebound in surgical procedure volumes. Sales in China, Japan 
Canada, Europe and our indirect markets continue to drive international growth. The Company also benefited from the launch 
of the CereLink ICP Monitor which occurred during the second half of the 2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working Capital

At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, working capital was $813.7 million and $836.2 million, respectively. Working 
capital consists of total current assets less total current liabilities as presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash and Marketable Securities

The Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $513.4 million and $470.2 million at December 31, 2021 
and 2020, respectively, which are valued based on Level 1 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2021, 
our non-U.S. subsidiaries held approximately $245.2 million of cash and cash equivalents that are available for use outside the 
U.S. The Company asserts that it has the ability and intends to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings from its foreign 
operations unless there is no material tax cost to remit the earnings into the U.S.

Operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $108.6 million compared to the same period in 2020. 
Net income after removing the impact of the gain on sale of business and non-cash adjustments increased for the year ended 
December 31, 2021, by approximately $49.1 million as compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to the continuing 
revenue recovery in the current year as compared to the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year. The changes in 
assets and liabilities, net of business acquisitions, increased cash flows from operating activities in the current year by $18.2 
million compared to the decrease of $41.3 million for the same period in 2020. The improvement in 2021 working capital is 
attributable to a decrease in inventory of $5.4 million due to investments in building safety stock made in the prior year where 
inventory increased by $48.3 million as well as improved sales in 2021. 

Operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased compared to the same period in 2019. Net income after 
non-cash  adjustments  increased  by  approximately  $0.8  million  to  $245.1  million  from  $245.9  million.  The  changes  in  assets 
and liabilities, net of business acquisitions, decreased cash flows from operating activities by $41.3 million in the year ended 
December 31, 2020 compared to a decrease of $14.5 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease in 2020 is attributable to 
an increase in inventory to improve safety stock of select products. In addition, decreases were also driven by reduced payables 
offset by decreases in accounts receivable due to lower revenues and continued collection efforts.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we paid a net cash amount of $303.9 million in relation to the acquisition of ACell 
and  received  net  proceeds  of  $190.5  million  for  the  sale  of  the  Extremity  Orthopedics  business.  The  Company  also  paid  for 
$48.0 million capital expenditures to support operations improvement initiatives at a number of our manufacturing facilities and 
other information technology investments. 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we paid $38.9 million for capital expenditures, most of which were directed to our 
facilities located in Mansfield, MA; Boston, MA; Memphis, TN; and Princeton, NJ and $25.0 million associated with achieving 
developmental milestones paid to the former shareholders of Rebound. 

Cash Flows (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities

Uses  of  cash  from  financing  activities  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021  were  repayments  of  $125.5  million  on  the 
revolving portion of our Senior Credit Facility and Securitization Facility. In addition, the Company had $4.8 million in cash 
taxes  paid  in  net  equity  settlements.  These  uses  were  offset  by  $6.8  million  proceeds  from  the  exercise  of  stock  options  and 
$25.5 million borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility and Securitization Facility.

Our principal sources of cash from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $515.3 million in proceeds 
from the issuance of Convertible Senior Notes including the call and warrant transactions and $171.5 million borrowing under 
our  Senior  Credit  Facility  and  Securitization  Facility.  These  were  offset  by  repayments  of  $441.0  million  on  the  revolving 
portion of our Senior Credit Facility and Securitization Facility, $24.3 million in debt issuance costs related to the Amended 
and  Restated  Senior  Credit  Agreement  and  the  issuance  of  Convertible  Senior  Notes  and  $100.0  million  in  purchases  of 
treasury stock.

Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement, Convertible Senior Notes, Securitization and Related Hedging Activities

See Note 5, Debt, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for a discussion of our 
Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement, the 2025 Notes and Securitization Facility and Note 6, Derivative Instruments 
to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for discussion of our hedging activities. 
We  are  forecasting  that  sales  and  earnings  for  the  next  twelve  months  will  be  sufficient  to  remain  in  compliance  with  our 
financial covenants under the terms of the February 2020 Amendment and July 2020 Amendment to the Senior Credit Facility.

Share Repurchase Plan

On  December  7,  2020,  the  Board  of  Directors  authorized  the  Company  to  repurchase  up  to  $225  million  of  the  Company’s 
common stock. The program allows the Company to repurchase its shares opportunistically from time to time. The repurchase 
authorization  expires  in  December  2022.  This  stock  repurchase  authorization  replaces  the  previous  $225  million  stock 
repurchase authorization, of which $125 million remained authorized at the time of its replacement, and which was otherwise 
set to expire on December 31, 2021. 

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021,  there  were  no  repurchases  of  the  Company’s  common  stock  as  part  of  the  share 
repurchase authorization.

On  January  12,  2022,  the  Company  entered  into  a  $125.0  million  accelerated  share  repurchase  ("2022  ASR")  and  received 
1.5 million shares of the Company common stock at inception of the 2022 ASR, which represented approximately 80% of the 
expected total shares under the 2022 ASR. The remaining 20% of the expected total shares is expected to settle in the first half 
of 2022, upon which additional shares of common stock may be delivered to the Company or, under certain circumstances, the 
Company  may  be  required  to  make  a  cash  payment  or  may  elect  to  deliver  shares  of  our  common  stock  to  the  2022  ASR 
counterparty  in  each  case  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  2022  ASR  agreement  between  the  Company  and  the  2022  ASR 
counterparty. The total number of shares to be delivered or the amount of such payment, as well as the final average price per 
share, will be based on the volume-weighted average price, less a discount, of the Company's common stock during the term of 
the  transaction.  As  a  result  of  this  transaction,  $100.0  million  remains  available  under  the  $225.0  million  stock  repurchase 
authorization. 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 2.1 million shares of Integra’s common stock 
as part of the previous share repurchase authorization. The Company utilized $100.0 million of net proceeds from the offering 
of  convertible  notes  to  execute  the  share  repurchase  transactions.  This  included  $7.6  million  from  certain  purchasers  of  the 
convertible  notes  in  conjunction  with  the  closing  of  the  offering.  On  February  5,  2020,  the  Company  entered  into  a 
$92.4 million accelerated share repurchase ("2020 ASR") to complete the remaining $100.0 million of share repurchase. The 
Company received 1.3 million shares at inception of the 2020 ASR, which represented approximately 80% of the expected total 
shares.  Upon  settlement  of  the  2020  ASR  in  June  2020,  the  Company  received  an  additional  0.6  million  shares  determined 
using the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the term of the transaction. 

See Note 8, Treasury Stock of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for further 
details. 

Dividend Policy

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our formation. Our Senior Credit Facility limits the amount of 
dividends that we may pay. Any future determinations to pay cash dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of 
the Board and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and other factors deemed relevant by 
the Board. 

Capital Resources

We believe that our cash and available borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are sufficient to finance our operations and 
capital  expenditures  for  the  foreseeable  future.  Our  future  capital  requirements  will  depend  on  many  factors,  including  the 
growth of our business, the timing and introduction of new products and investments, strategic plans and acquisitions, among 
others.  Additional  sources  of  liquidity  available  to  us  include  short  term  borrowings  and  the  issuance  of  long  term  debt  and 
equity securities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We  do  not  have  any  off–balance  sheet  financing  arrangements  during  the  year-ended  December  31,  2021  that  have  or  are 
reasonably  likely  to  have,  a  current  or  future  effect  on  our  financial  condition,  changes  in  financial  condition,  revenues  or 
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our interests.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments 

We will continue to have cash requirements to support seasonal working capital needs and capital expenditures, to pay interest, 
to service debt, and to fund acquisitions. As part of our ongoing operations, we enter into contractual arrangements that obligate 
us to make future cash payments. 

Our primary obligations include principal and interest payments on revolving portion and Term Loan component of the Senior 
Credit  Facility,  Securitization  Facility  and  Convertible  Securities.  See  Note  5,  Debt,  to  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for details. The Company also leases some of our manufacturing facilities and 
office buildings which have future minimum lease payments associated. See Note 11, Leases and Related Party Leases to the 
Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  (Part  II,  Item  8  of  this  Form  10-K)  for  a  schedule  of  our  future  minimum  lease 
payments.  Amounts  related  to  the  Company's  other  obligations,  including  employment  agreements  and  purchase  obligations 
were not material. 

The  Company  has  contingent  consideration  obligation  related  to  prior  and  current  year  acquisitions  and  future  pension 
contribution obligations. See Note 10, Retirement Benefit Plans and Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies to the Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for details. The associated obligations are not fixed. The 
Company also has a liability for uncertain tax benefits including interest and penalties. See Note 12, Income Taxes to the Notes 
to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  (Part  II,  Item  8  of  this  Form  10-K)  for  details.  The  Company  cannot  make  a  reliable 
estimate of the period in which the uncertain tax benefits may be realized.

Employee Termination Benefits 

The Company incurred restructuring costs of $3.4 million and $4.9 million in cost of goods sold, $0.5 million and $1.2 million 
in  selling,  general  and  administrative  and  $0.3  million  and  $0.3  million  in  research  and  development  related  to  employee 
terminations associated with a future plant closure in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 
2021  and  2020,  respectively.  Restructuring  costs  of  $10.2  million  were  included  in  accrued  expenses  and  other  current 
liabilities and $6.4 million were included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 
2021 and 2020, respectively. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for further details. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND THE USE OF ESTIMATES 

Our  discussion  and  analysis  of  financial  conditions  and  results  of  operations  is  based  upon  our  consolidated  financial 
statements,  which  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of 
America ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 
reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities,  the  disclosure  of  contingent  liabilities,  and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and 
expenses.  Significant  estimates  affecting  amounts  reported  or  disclosed  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  include 
allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and sales returns and allowances, net realizable value of inventories, valuation of 
intangible assets including amortization periods for acquired intangible assets, discount rates and estimated projected cash flows 
used to value and test impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, estimates of projected cash flows and depreciation and 
amortization periods for long-lived assets, computation of taxes, valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, the 
valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation of derivative instruments, valuation of contingent liabilities, the fair value of 
debt instruments and loss contingencies. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions 
that are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances.

As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and recent variants of the virus, as well as the adverse impacts to global 
economic  conditions,  supply chain and our  operations, there may be impact to future estimates including, but not limited  to, 
inventory valuations, fair value measurements, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, the effectiveness of the Company’s 
hedging instruments, deferred tax valuation allowances, and allowances for doubtful accounts receivable.

We believe that the following accounting policies, which form the basis for developing these estimates, are those that are most 
critical  to  the  presentation  of  our  consolidated  financial  statements  and  require  the  more  difficult  subjective  and  complex 
judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Because of this 
uncertainty, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts Receivable and Sales Returns and Allowances 

We evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. The Company recognizes a provision 
for  doubtful  accounts  that  reflects  the  Company’s  estimate  of  expected  credit  losses  for  trade  accounts  receivable.  In 
circumstances  where  a  specific  customer  is  unable  to  meet  its  financial  obligations  to  us,  we  record  an  allowance  against 
amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount that we reasonably expect to collect. For all other customers, 
the  Company  evaluates  measurement  of  all  expected  credit  losses  for  trade  receivables  held  at  the  reporting  date  based  on 
historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. If the financial condition of customers or the 
length of time that receivables are past due were to change, we may change the recorded amount of allowances for doubtful 
accounts in the future through charges or reductions to selling, general and administrative expense. 

We record a provision for estimated sales returns and allowances on revenues in the same period as the related revenues are 
recorded.  We  base  these  estimates  on  historical  sales  returns  and  allowances  and  other  known  factors.  If  actual  returns  or 
allowances differ from our estimates and the related provisions for sales returns and allowances, we may change the provision 
in the future through an increase or decrease in revenues. 

In  June  2016,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2016-13,  Financial  Instruments  -  Credit  Losses  (Topic  326):  Measurement  of  Credit 
Losses  on  Financial  Instruments.  We  adopted  this  guidance  on  January  1,  2020  using  a  modified  retrospective  transition 
method which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings to be recognized on the date 
of adoption with no change to financial results reported in prior periods. The cumulative-effect adjustment recorded on January 
1, 2020 was not material. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements 
and  related  disclosures.  Our  exposure  to  credit  losses  may  increase  if  its  customers  are  adversely  affected  by  changes  in 
healthcare  laws,  coverage,  and  reimbursement,  economic  pressures  or  uncertainty  associated  with  local  or  global  economic 
recessions,  disruption  associated  with  the  COVID-19  pandemic  and  recent  variants  of  the  virus,  and  other  customer-specific 
factors.  Although  we  have  historically  not  experienced  significant  credit  losses,  it  is  possible  that  there  could  be  an  adverse 
impact due to customer and governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Inventories 

Inventories,  consisting  of  purchased  materials,  direct  labor  and  manufacturing  overhead,  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost 
(determined by the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate ending inventories 
for  excess  quantities,  obsolescence  or  shelf-life  expiration.  Our  evaluation  includes  an  analysis  of  historical  sales  levels  by 
product,  projections  of  future  demand  by  product,  the  risk  of  technological  or  competitive  obsolescence  for  our  products, 
general market conditions, a review of the shelf-life expiration dates for our products, and the feasibility of reworking or using 
excess or obsolete products or components in the production or assembly of other products that are not obsolete or for which we 
do not have excess quantities in inventory. To the extent that we determine there are excess or obsolete quantities or quantities 
with a shelf life that is too near its expiration for us to reasonably expect that we can sell those products prior to their expiration, 
we  adjust  their  carrying  value  to  estimated  net  realizable  value.  If  future  demand  or  market  conditions  are  lower  than  our 
projections, or if we are unable to rework excess or obsolete quantities into other products, we may record further adjustments 
to the carrying value of inventory through a charge to cost of product revenues in the period the revision is made. 

The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with certain products prior to regulatory approval, based on management's 
judgment of probable economic benefit. The Company could be required to expense previously capitalized costs related to pre-
approval  inventory  upon  a  change  in  such  judgment,  due  to,  among  other  potential  factors,  a  denial  or  delay  of  approval  by 
necessary regulatory bodies or a decision by management to discontinue the related development program.

Acquisitions

Results of operations of acquired companies are included in the Company’s results of operations as of the respective acquisition 
dates.  The  Company  accounts  for  the  acquisition  of  a  business  in  accordance  with  ASC  805,  Business  Combinations  (ASC 
805). Amounts paid to acquire a business are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair values at 
the date of acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in recorded as goodwill. 
Transaction costs and costs to restructure the acquired company are expensed as incurred. 

43

Contingent  consideration  is  recorded  at  fair  value  as  measured  on  the  date  of  acquisition.  The  value  recorded  is  based  on 
estimates  of  future  financial  projections  under  various  potential  scenarios  using  either  a  Monte  Carlo  simulation  or  the 
probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue estimates and probability assessment with respect to the likelihood 
of  achieving  contingent  obligations.  Contingent  payments  related  to  acquisitions  consist  of  development,  regulatory,  and 
commercial milestone payments, in addition to sales-based payments, and are valued using discounted cash flow techniques. 
Each quarter until such contingent amounts are earned, the fair value of the liability is remeasured at each reporting period and 
adjusted as a component of operating expenses based on changes to the underlying assumptions. The change in the fair value of 
sales-based payments is based upon future revenue estimates and increases or decreases as revenue estimates or expectation of 
timing of payment charges. The estimates used to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liability are subject to 
significant judgment and actual results are likely to differ from the amounts originally recorded.

The Company determines the fair value of acquired intangible assets based on detailed valuations that use certain information 
and  assumptions  provided  by  management.  The  Company  allocates  any  excess  purchase  price  over  the  fair  value  of  the  net 
tangible and intangible assets acquired to goodwill. Determining the fair value of these intangible assets, acquired as part of a 
business combination requires the Company to make significant estimates. These estimates include the amount and timing of 
projected future cash flows, the discount rate used to discount those cash flows to present value, the assessment of the asset’s 
life cycle, and the consideration of legal, technical, regulatory, economic, and competitive risks. The fair value assigned to other 
intangible assets is determined by estimating the future cash flows of each project or technology and discounting the net cash 
flows back to their present values. The discount rate used is determined at the time of measurement in accordance with accepted 
valuation methodologies.

Acquired  IPR&D  is  recognized  at  fair  value  and  initially  characterized  as  an  indefinite-lived  intangible  asset,  irrespective  of 
whether the acquired IPR&D has an alternative future use. The Company uses the income approach to determine the fair value 
of developed technology and IPR&D acquired in a business combination. This approach determines fair value by estimating the 
after-tax cash flows attributable to the respective asset over its useful life and then discounting these after-tax cash flows back 
to a present value. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the 
estimated net cash flows for each year for each product including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing 
costs,  the  appropriate  discount  rate  to  select  in  order  to  measure  the  risk  inherent  in  each  future  cash  flow  stream,  the 
assessment of each asset’s life cycle, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream. The Company also 
uses  the  income  approach,  as  described  above,  to  determine  the  estimated  fair  value  of  certain  other  identifiable  intangible 
assets  including  customer  relationships,  trade  names  and  business  licenses.  Customer  relationships  represent  established 
relationships  with  customers,  which  provide  a  ready  channel  for  the  sale  of  additional  products  and  services.  Trade  names 
represent acquired company and product names.

IPR&D  acquired  in  a  business  combination  is  capitalized  as  an  indefinite-lived  intangible  asset.  Development  costs  incurred 
after the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Upon receipt of regulatory approval, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is then 
accounted for as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortized on a straight-line basis or accelerated basis, as appropriate, over its 
estimated useful life. If the research and development project is subsequently abandoned, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is 
charged to expense. IPR&D acquired outside of a business combination is expensed immediately.

Due to the uncertainty associated with research and development projects, there is risk that actual results will differ materially 
from the original  cash flow projections and that the research and development project will result in a successful commercial 
product.  The  risks  associated  with  achieving  commercialization  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  delay  or  failure  to  obtain 
regulatory approvals to conduct clinical trials, delay or failure to obtain required market clearances, delays or issues with patent
issuance, or validity and litigation.

If the acquired net assets do not constitute a business under the acquisition method of accounting, the transaction is accounted 
for as an asset acquisition and no goodwill is recognized. In an asset acquisition, the amount allocated to acquired IPR&D with 
no  alternative  future  use  is  charged  to  expense  at  the  acquisition  date.  Payments  that  would  be  recognized  as  contingent 
consideration in a business combination are expensed when probable in an asset acquisition. Refer to Note 4, Acquisitions and 
Divestitures to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for details. 

Valuation of Goodwill

The excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets of acquired businesses is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not subject to 
amortization but is reviewed for impairment at the reporting unit level annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators 
arise. The Company's assessment of the recoverability of goodwill is based upon a comparison of the carrying value of goodwill 
with its estimated fair value. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment in the third quarter every year in accordance with 
ASC  Topic  350  and  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  the  carrying  value  of  goodwill  may  not  be 
recoverable. Refer to Note 7, Goodwill and Other Intangibles of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 
of this Form 10-K) for more information.

44

Valuation of Identifiable Intangible Assets

The Company tests intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the third quarter in accordance with ASC 
Topic  350.  Additionally,  the  Company  may  perform  interim  tests  if  an  event  occurs  or  circumstances  change  that  could 
potentially  reduce  the  fair  value  of  a  indefinite  lived  intangible  asset  below  its  carrying  amount.  The  Company  tests  for 
impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of 
factors, including specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether 
it is more likely than not that the fair values of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The Company may elect to 
bypass this qualitative evaluation and perform a quantitative test. 

Product rights and other definite-lived intangible assets are tested periodically for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 
360 when events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset's carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment 
test involves comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows. In the 
event  the  carrying  value  of  the  asset  exceeds  the  undiscounted  future  cash  flows,  the  carrying  value  is  considered  not 
recoverable  and  impairment  exists.  An  impairment  loss  is  measured  as  the  excess  of  the  asset's  carrying  value  over  its  fair 
value,  calculated  using  discounted  future  cash  flows.  The  computed  impairment  loss  is  recognized  in  the  period  that  the 
impairment occurs.

Derivatives 

We  develop,  manufacture,  and  sell  medical  devices  globally.  Our  earnings  and  cash  flows  are  exposed  to  market  risk  from 
changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. We address these risks through a risk management program that includes 
the  use  of  derivative  financial  instruments  and  operate  the  program  pursuant  to  documented  corporate  risk  management 
policies.  All  derivative  financial  instruments  are  recognized  in  the  financial  statements  at  fair  value  in  accordance  with  the 
authoritative guidance. Under the guidance, for those instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the 
hedging  instrument  must  be  designated  as  a  fair  value  hedge,  cash  flow  hedge,  or  a  hedge  of  a  net  investment  in  a  foreign 
operation, based on the exposure being hedged. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends 
on  whether  it  has  been  designated  and  qualifies  as  part  of  a  hedging  relationship  and,  further,  on  the  type  of  hedging 
relationship. Our derivative instruments do not subject our earnings or cash flows to material risk, and gains and losses on these 
derivatives  generally  offset  losses  and  gains  on  the  item  being  hedged.  We  have  not  entered  into  derivative  transactions  for 
speculative purposes. From time to time, we may enter into derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments in order 
to protect the Company from currency volatility due to intercompany balances. 

All derivative instruments are recognized at their fair values as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. We determine the 
fair  value  of  our  derivative  instruments,  by  considering  the  estimated  amount  we  would  receive  to  sell  or  transfer  these 
instruments  at  the  reporting  date  and  by  taking  into  account  expected  forward  interest  rates,  currency  exchange  rates,  the 
creditworthiness  of  the  counterparty  for  assets,  and  our  creditworthiness  for  liabilities.  In  certain  instances,  we  may  utilize  a 
discounted  cash  flow  model  to  measure  fair  value.  Generally,  we  use  inputs  that  include  quoted  prices  for  similar  assets  or 
liabilities  in  active  markets,  other  observable  inputs  for  the  asset  or  liability,  and  inputs  that  are  derived  principally  from,  or 
corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.

Income Taxes 

Since we conduct operations on a global basis, our effective tax rate has and will depend upon the geographic distribution of 
our pre-tax earnings among locations with varying tax rates. Changes in the tax rates of the various jurisdictions in which we 
operate  affect  our  profits.  In  addition,  we  maintain  a  reserve  for  uncertain  tax  benefits,  changes  to  which  could  impact  our 
effective  tax  rate  in  the  period  such  changes  are  made.  The  effective  tax  rate  can  also  be  impacted  by  changes  in  valuation 
allowances of deferred tax assets, and tax law changes. 

Our  provision  for  income  taxes  may  change  period-to-period  based  on  specific  events,  such  as  the  settlement  of  income  tax 
audits and changes in tax laws, as well as general factors, including the geographic mix of income before taxes, state and local 
taxes  and  the  effects  of  the  Company's  global  income  tax  strategies.  We  maintain  strategic  management  and  operational 
activities in overseas subsidiaries. See Note 12, Income Taxes of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 
of  this  Form  10-K),  in  our  consolidated  financial  statements  for  disclosures  related  to  foreign  and  domestic  pretax  income, 
foreign and domestic income tax expense (benefit) and the effect foreign taxes have on our overall effective tax rate. 

We recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination 
based  on  the  technical  merits  of  the  position.  The  amount  of  the  accrual  for  which  an  exposure  exists  is  measured  by 
determining the amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement of the position. 
Components  of  the  reserve  are  classified  as  a  long-term  liability  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  We  record  interest  and 
penalties accrued in relation to uncertain tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. 

45

We believe that we have identified all reasonably identifiable exposures and that the reserve we have established for identifiable 
exposures is appropriate under the circumstances; however, it is possible that additional exposures exist and that exposures will 
be  settled  at  amounts  different  from  the  amounts  reserved.  It  is  also  possible  that  changes  in  facts  and  circumstances  could 
cause us to either materially increase or reduce the carrying amount of our tax reserves. 

Our  deferred  income  taxes  reflect  the  net  tax  effects  of  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and 
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their basis for income tax purposes, and the temporary differences created by the 
tax  effects  of  capital  loss,  net  operating  loss  and  tax  credit  carryforwards.  We  record  valuation  allowances  when  it  is  more 
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We could recognize no benefit from our 
deferred  tax  assets  or  we  could  recognize  some  or  all  of  the  future  benefit  depending  on  the  amount  and  timing  of  taxable 
income we generate in the future. 

We intend to indefinitely reinvest substantially all of our foreign earnings in our foreign subsidiaries unless there is a tax–free 
manner  under  which  to  remit  the  earnings.  The  current  analysis  indicates  that  we  have  sufficient  U.S.  liquidity,  including 
borrowing capacity, to fund foreseeable U.S. cash needs without requiring the repatriation of foreign cash.  One time or unusual 
items that may impact our ability or intent to keep the foreign earnings and cash indefinitely reinvested include significant U.S. 
acquisitions, loans from a foreign subsidiary, and changes in tax laws.

As  of  December  31,  2021,  the  Company  has  not  provided  deferred  income  taxes  on  unrepatriated  earnings  from  foreign 
subsidiaries as they are deemed to be indefinitely reinvested. Such taxes would primarily be attributable to foreign withholding 
taxes  and  local  income  taxes  when  such  earnings  are  distributed.  As  such,  the  Company  has  determined  the  tax  impact  of 
repatriating these earnings would not be material as of December 31, 2021. 

Loss Contingencies 

We  are  subject  to  claims  and  lawsuits  in  the  ordinary  course  of  our  business,  including  claims  by  employees  or  former 
employees, and claims with respect to our products and involving commercial disputes. We accrue for loss contingencies when 
it is deemed probable that a loss has been incurred and that loss is estimable. The amounts accrued are based on the full amount 
of the estimated loss before considering insurance proceeds, if applicable, and do not include an estimate for legal fees expected 
to be incurred in connection with the loss contingency. We consistently accrue legal fees expected to be incurred in connection 
with loss contingencies as those fees are incurred by outside counsel as a period cost. Our financial statements do not reflect 
any material amounts related to possible unfavorable outcomes of claims and lawsuits to which we are currently a party because 
we  currently  believe  that  such  claims  and  lawsuits  are  not  expected,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  to  result  in  a  material, 
adverse effect on our financial condition. However, it is possible that these contingencies could materially affect our results of 
operations, financial position and cash flows in a particular period if we change our assessment of the likely outcome of these 
matters. 

Pension Benefits 

The  Company  maintains  defined  benefit  pension  plans  that  cover  certain  employees  in  France,  Japan,  Germany  and 
Switzerland. Various factors are considered in determining the pension liability, including the number of employees expected to 
be  paid  their  salary  levels  and  years  of  service,  the  expected  return  on  plan  assets,  the  discount  rate  used  to  determine  the 
benefit  obligations,  the  timing  of  benefit  payments  and  other  actuarial  assumptions.  If  the  actual  results  and  events  for  the 
pension  plans  differ  from  current  assumptions,  the  benefit  obligation  may  be  over  or  under  valued.  We  recognize  the 
underfunded status of the defined benefit pension plans as an asset or a liability in the balance sheet, with changes in the funded 
status recorded through other comprehensive income in the year in which those changes occur. 

The  Company’s  discount  rates  are  determined  by  considering  current  yield  curves  representing  high  quality,  long-term  fixed 
income instruments. The resulting discount rates are consistent with the duration of plan liabilities. In 2021, the discount rate 
was prescribed as the current yield on corporate bonds with an average rating of AA or AAA of equivalent currency and term to 
the liabilities.

The expected return on plan assets represents the average rate of return expected to be earned on plan assets over the period the 
benefits  included  in  the  benefit  obligation  are  to  be  paid.  In  developing  the  expected  rate  of  return,  the  Company  considers 
returns  of  historical  market  data  as  well  as  actual  returns  on  the  plan  assets.  Using  this  reference  information,  the  long-term 
return expectations for each asset category are developed according to the allocation among those investment categories. 

The net plan assets of the pension plans are invested in common trusts as of December 31, 2021. Common trusts are classified 
as Level 2 in fair value hierarchy. The fair value of common trusts are valued at net asset value based on the fair values of the 
underlying investments of the trusts as determined by the sponsor of the trusts.

46

The following weighted average assumptions were used to develop net periodic pension benefit cost and the actuarial present 
value of projected pension benefit obligations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively:

Discount rate
Expected return on plan assets
Rate of compensation increase
Interest crediting rate for cash balance plans

As of December 31,

2021

2020

 0.37 %
 3.59 %
 2.10 %
 1.0 %

 0.34 %
 2.04 %
 2.14 %
 1.0 %

A change of plus (minus) 25 basis points on expected rate of return on plan assets, with other assumptions held constant, would 
have an estimated $0.1 million favorable (unfavorable) impact on pension plan costs. As of December 31, 2021, contributions 
expected to be paid to the plan in 2022 are $2.3 million. 

We  use  the  corridor  approach  in  the  valuation  of  defined  benefit  pension  benefit  plans.  The  corridor  approach  defers  all 
actuarial gains and losses resulting from variances between actual results and actuarial assumptions. Those unrecognized gains 
and losses are amortized when the net gains and losses exceed 10% of the greater of the market-related value of plan assets or 
the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the year. The amount in excess of the corridor is amortized over the average 
remaining service period to retirement date of active plan participants.

Stock-based Compensation

We apply the authoritative guidance for stock-based compensation. This guidance requires companies to recognize the expense 
related to the fair value of their stock-based compensation awards. Stock-based compensation expense for stock option awards 
is based on the grant date fair value on using the binomial distribution model. The Company recognizes compensation expense 
for stock option awards, restricted stock awards, performance stock awards and contract stock awards on a ratable basis over 
the requisite service period of the award. All excess tax benefits and taxes and tax deficiencies from stock-based compensation 
are included in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statement of operations.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 
of this Form 10-K), to the consolidated financial statements for recently adopted accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We  are  exposed  to  various  market  risks,  including  changes  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates  and  interest  rates  that  could 
adversely  affect  our  results  of  operations  and  financial  condition.  To  manage  the  volatility  relating  to  these  typical  business 
exposures, we may enter into various derivative transactions when appropriate. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments 
for trading or other speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange and Other Rate Risks

We operate on a global basis and are exposed to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely affect 
our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are primarily exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk 
with respect to transactions and net assets denominated in Euros, British pounds, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars, Japanese yen, 
Mexican pesos, Brazilian reais, Australian dollars and Chinese yuan. We manage the foreign currency exposure centrally, on a 
combined  basis,  which  allows  us  to  net  exposures  and  to  take  advantage  of  any  natural  offsets.  To  mitigate  the  impact  of 
currency fluctuations on transactions denominated in nonfunctional currencies, we periodically enter into derivative financial 
instruments in the form of foreign currency exchange forward contracts with major financial institutions. We temporarily record 
realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income, and 
then recognize them in other income or expense when the hedged item affects net earnings.

From time to time, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage currency exposures for transactions 
denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency. As a result, the impact of foreign currency gains/losses 
recognized  in  earnings  are  partially  offset  by  gains/losses  on  the  related  foreign  currency  forward  exchange  contracts  in  the 
same reporting period. Refer to Note 6, Derivative Instruments for further information of the Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K).

We maintain written policies and procedures governing our risk management activities. With respect to derivatives, changes in 
hedged items are generally expected to be completely offset by changes in the fair value of hedge instruments. Consequently, 
foreign currency exchange contracts would not subject us to material risk due to exchange rate movements, because gains and 
losses on these contracts offset gains and losses on the assets, liabilities or transactions being hedged.

47

The results of operations discussed herein have not been materially affected by inflation.

Interest Rate Risk

Cash and Cash Equivalents - We are exposed to the risk of interest rate fluctuations on the interest income earned on our cash 
and cash equivalents. A hypothetical 100 basis points movement in interest rates applicable to our cash and cash equivalents 
outstanding  at  December  31,  2021  would  increase  interest  income  by  approximately  $5.1  million  on  an  annual  basis.  No 
significant decrease in interest income would be expected as our cash balances are earning interest at rates of approximately one 
basis points. We are subject to foreign currency exchange risk with respect to cash balances maintained in foreign currencies.

Debt - Our interest rate risk relates primarily to U.S. dollar LIBOR-indexed borrowings. We use interest rate swap derivative 
instruments to manage our earnings and cash flow exposure to changes in interest rates. These interest rate swaps fix the interest 
rate on a portion of our expected LIBOR-indexed floating-rate borrowings. The Company held the following interest rate swaps 
as of December 31, 2021 (dollar amounts in thousands):

These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2021. The total notional amounts related to 
the Company’s interest rate swaps were $1.8 billion and with $875.0 million effective as of December 31, 2021. Based on our 
outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2021, a 100 basis points change in interest rates would have impacted interest expense 
on the unhedged portion of the debt by $1.1 million on an annualized basis.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to 
be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in 
the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our 
management,  including  our  principal  executive  officer  and  principal  financial  officer,  as  appropriate,  to  allow  for  timely 
decisions  regarding  required  disclosure.  Disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  no  matter  how  well  designed  and  operated,  can 
provide  only  reasonable  assurance  of  achieving  the  desired  control  objectives,  and  management  is  required  to  apply  its 
judgment  in  evaluating  the  cost-benefit  relationship  of  possible  controls  and  procedures.  Management  has  designed  our 
disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. 

As  required  by  Exchange  Act  Rule  13a-15(b),  we  have  carried  out  an  evaluation,  under  the  supervision  and  with  the 
participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of 
the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021. Based upon this evaluation, our 
principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective 
as of December 31, 2021 to provide such reasonable assurance. 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

Management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  defined  in 
Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is designed to 
provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for 
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We 
recognize  that  because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect 
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may 
become  inadequate  because  of  changes  in  conditions  or  that  the  degree  of  compliance  with  the  policies  and  procedures  may 
deteriorate. 

To evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria described in Internal 
Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 
(“COSO”). Based upon this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective 
as of December 31, 2021. 

The  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2021  has  been  audited  by 
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) 
that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially 
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2021,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated 
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial 
position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of 
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control 
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework 
(2013) issued by the COSO.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for 
convertible instruments in 2021 and leases in 2019.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal 
control  over  financial  reporting,  and  for  its  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting, 
included  in  Management’s  Report  on  Internal  Control  Over  Financial  Reporting  appearing  under  Item  9A.  Our 
responsibility  is  to  express  opinions  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements  and  on  the  Company's  internal 
control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company 
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in 
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission and the PCAOB.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  PCAOB.  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and 
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material 
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained 
in all material respects.

Our  audits  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material 
misstatement  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and  performing  procedures  that 
respond  to  those  risks.  Such  procedures  included  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  regarding  the  amounts  and 
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and 
significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the  consolidated  financial 
statements.  Our  audit  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  included  obtaining  an  understanding  of  internal  control 
over  financial  reporting,  assessing  the  risk  that  a  material  weakness  exists,  and  testing  and  evaluating  the  design  and 
operating  effectiveness  of  internal  control  based  on  the  assessed  risk.  Our  audits  also  included  performing  such  other 
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our 
opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with 
generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and 
procedures that

F-1

(i)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and 
dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to 
permit  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts 
and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of 
the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, 
use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial 
statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or 
disclosures  that  are  material  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  (ii)  involved  our  especially  challenging, 
subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the 
consolidated  financial  statements,  taken  as  a  whole,  and  we  are  not,  by  communicating  the  critical  audit  matter  below, 
providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

ACell, Inc. Acquisition - Valuation of Developed Technology Intangible Assets

As described in Notes 2, 4 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, in January 2021, the Company acquired ACell 
Inc. for an acquisition purchase price of $306.9 million plus contingent consideration of up to $100 million, which resulted 
in $245M of developed technology intangible assets being recorded. The estimated fair value of the developed technology 
acquired  was  determined  by  management  using  the  multi-period  excess  earnings  method  of  the  income  approach. 
Management’s  significant  assumptions  used  in  the  estimate  of  fair  value  included  the  estimated  net  cash  flows,  net 
revenues, cost of sales, selling and marketing costs, discount rates and each asset’s life cycle. 

The  principal  considerations  for  our  determination  that  performing  procedures  relating  to  the  valuation  of  developed 
technology intangible assets from the acquisition of ACell Inc. is a critical audit matter are the (i) the significant judgment 
by management in developing the fair value of the acquired developed technology intangible assets, (ii) a high degree of 
auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s assumptions related to 
net revenues, cost of sales, selling and marketing costs, discount rates and each asset’s life cycle; and (iii) the audit effort 
involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing  the  matter  involved  performing  procedures  and  evaluating  audit  evidence  in  connection  with  forming  our 
overall  opinion  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  These  procedures  included  testing  the  effectiveness  of  controls 
relating to the acquisition accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the intangible assets and controls 
over the development of significant assumptions related to net revenues, cost of sales, selling and marketing costs, discount 
rates and each asset’s life cycle. These procedures also included, among others (i) reading the purchase agreement and (ii) 
testing  management’s  process  for  developing  the  fair  value  of  the  developed  technology  intangible  assets.  Testing 
management’s  process  included  evaluating  the  appropriateness  of  the  multi-period  excess  earnings  method,  testing  the 
completeness,  accuracy,  and  relevance  of  underlying  data  used  in  the  method,  and  evaluating  the  reasonableness  of 
significant assumptions used by management related to net revenues, cost of sales, selling and marketing costs, discount 
rates and each asset’s life cycle. Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assumptions related to net revenues, cost 
of sales, selling and marketing costs and each asset’s life cycle involved considering (i) current and past performance of the 
products associated with the developed technology acquired, as well as the performance of the reporting unit that assumed 
the  products  associated  with  the  developed  technology  acquired;  (ii)  the  consistency  with  external  market  and  industry 
data; and (iii) and whether the assumptions are consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals 
with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s multi-period excess earnings 
method and the discount rates and each asset’s life cycle assumptions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BUSINESS

Integra  LifeSciences  Holdings  Corporation  (the  “Company”)  was  incorporated  in  Delaware  in  1989.  The  Company  is  a 
worldwide leader in medical technology. The Company was founded with the acquisition of an engineered collagen technology 
platform used to repair and regenerate tissue. Since then, Integra has developed numerous product lines from this technology 
for  applications  ranging  from  burn  and  deep  tissue  wounds  to  the  repair  of  dura  mater  in  the  brain,  as  well  as  nerves  and 
tendons. The Company has expanded its base regenerative technology business to include surgical instruments, neurosurgical 
products  and  advanced  wound  care  through  global  acquisitions  and  product  development  to  meet  the  evolving  needs  of  its 
customers and enhance patient care. The Company sells its products directly through various sales forces and through a variety 
of other distribution channels.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION 

These  financial  statements  and  the  accompanying  notes  are  prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally 
accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America  and  conform  to  Regulation  S-X  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as 
amended. 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany 
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for details of new 
subsidiaries included in the consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES 

The  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  is  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  in  the 
United  States  ("GAAP")  which  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amount  of 
assets  and  liabilities,  the  disclosure  of  contingent  liabilities,  and  the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses.  Significant 
estimates  affecting  amounts  reported  or  disclosed  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  include  allowances  for  doubtful 
accounts  receivable  and  sales  returns  and  allowances,  net  realizable  value  of  inventories,  valuation  of  intangible  assets 
including amortization periods for acquired intangible assets, discount rates and estimated projected cash flows used to value 
and  test  impairments  of  long-lived  assets  and  goodwill,  estimates  of  projected  cash  flows  and  depreciation  and  amortization 
periods for long-lived assets, computation of taxes, valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, the valuation of 
stock-based  compensation,  valuation  of  derivative  instruments,  valuation  of  contingent  liabilities,  the  fair  value  of  debt 
instruments and loss contingencies. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that 
are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As the Company 
continues  to  navigate  the  novel  coronavirus  ("COVID-19")  pandemic  and  recent  variants  of  the  virus  as  well  as  the  adverse 
impacts to global economic conditions, supply chain and the operations, there may be impact to future estimates including, but 
not limited to, inventory valuations, fair value measurements, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, the effectiveness of 
the Company’s hedging instruments, deferred tax valuation allowances, and allowances for doubtful accounts receivable.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain  amounts  from  the  prior  year's  financial  statements  have  been  reclassified  in  order  to  conform  to  the  current  year's 
presentation.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 

The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to 
be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCES FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE 

Trade  accounts  receivable  are  recorded  at  the  invoiced  amount  and  do  not  bear  interest.  The  Company  grants  credit  to 
customers  in  the  normal  course  of  business,  but  generally  does  not  require  collateral  or  any  other  security  to  support  its 
receivables.

F - 8

INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. The Company recognizes a 
provision for doubtful accounts that reflects the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses for trade accounts receivable. In 
circumstances  where  a  specific  customer  is  unable  to  meet  its  financial  obligations  to  the  Company,  a  provision  to  the 
allowances for doubtful accounts is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount that is 
reasonably expected to be collected. For all other customers, the Company evaluates measurement of all expected credit losses 
for  trade  receivables  held  at  the  reporting  date  based  on  historical  experience,  current  conditions,  and  reasonable  and 
supportable forecasts. 

In  June  2016,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2016-13,  Financial  Instruments  -  Credit  Losses  (Topic  326):  Measurement  of  Credit 
Losses  on  Financial  Instruments.  The  Company  adopted  this  guidance  on  January  1,  2020  using  a  modified  retrospective 
transition method which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings to be recognized 
on the date of adoption with no change to financial results reported in prior periods. The cumulative-effect adjustment recorded 
on  January  1,  2020  was  not  material.  The  adoption  of  this  ASU  did  not  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  Company's 
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company's exposure to credit losses may increase if its customers 
are  adversely  affected  by  changes  in  healthcare  laws,  coverage,  and  reimbursement,  economic  pressures  or  uncertainty 
associated with local or global economic recessions, disruption associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and recent variants of 
the virus, and other customer-specific factors. Although the Company has historically not experienced significant credit losses, 
it is possible that there could be an adverse impact due to customer and governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Provisions  to  the  allowances  for  doubtful  accounts  are  recorded  to  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses.  Account 
balances  are  charged  off  against  the  allowance  when  it  is  probable  that  the  receivable  will  not  be  recovered.  Provision  for 
doubtful  accounts  net  of  recoveries,  associated  with  accounts  receivable,  included  in  selling,  general  and  administrative 
expense, was recoveries of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, and charges of $3.6 million, and $2.1 million 
for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 

INVENTORIES

Inventories,  consisting  of  purchased  materials,  direct  labor  and  manufacturing  overhead,  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost,  the 
value determined by the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. Inventories consisted of the following: 

Dollars in thousands

At December 31, 2020, $52.8 million of inventories, net was presented separately as "Assets held for sale" in conjunction with 
the sale of the Extremity Orthopedics business. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures.

At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence or shelf life expiration. This 
evaluation  includes  analysis  of  historical  sales  levels  by  product,  projections  of  future  demand,  the  risk  of  technological  or 
competitive  obsolescence  for  products,  general  market  conditions,  a  review  of  the  shelf  life  expiration  dates  for  products,  as 
well as the feasibility of reworking or using excess or obsolete products or components in the production or assembly of other 
products  that  are  not  obsolete  or  for  which  there  are  not  excess  quantities  in  inventory.  To  the  extent  that  management 
determines there are excess or obsolete inventory or quantities with a shelf life that is too near its expiration for the Company to 
reasonably expect that it can sell those products prior to their expiration, the Company adjusts the carrying value to estimated 
net realizable value. 

The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with certain products prior to regulatory approval, based on management's 
judgment of probable economic benefit. The Company could be required to expense previously capitalized costs related to pre-
approval  inventory  upon  a  change  in  such  judgment,  due  to,  among  other  potential  factors,  a  denial  or  delay  of  approval  by 
necessary regulatory bodies or a decision by management to discontinue the related development program. No such amounts 
were capitalized at December 31, 2021 or 2020.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT 

Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  any  impairment  charges.  The 
Company  provides  for  depreciation  using  the  straight-line  method  over  the  estimated  useful  lives  of  the  assets.  Leasehold 
improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life. The cost of major additions and improvements is 
capitalized, while maintenance and repair costs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to 
operations  as  incurred.  The  cost  of  computer  software  developed  or  obtained  for  internal  use  is  accounted  for  in  accordance 
with the Accounting Standards Codification 350-40, Internal-Use Software.

Property, plant and equipment balances and corresponding lives were as follows: 

Dollars in thousands
Land
Buildings and building improvements
Leasehold improvements
Machinery and production equipment

At December 31, 2020, $37.9 million of property, plant and equipment, net was presented separately as "Assets held for sale" in 
conjunction with the sale of the Extremity Orthopedics business. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures.

Depreciation expense associated with property, plant and equipment was $39.4 million, $42.1 million, and $42.6 million for the 
years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2020,  the  Company  wrote-off  certain  construction  in  progress  of  $6.7  million  related  to  a 
manufacturing project that the Company decided to discontinue. The Company determined that the carrying amounts of these 
assets were not recoverable.

CAPITALIZED INTEREST

The interest cost on capital projects, including facilities build-out and internal use software, is capitalized and included in the 
cost  of  the  project.  Capitalization  commences  with  the  first  expenditure  for  the  project  and  continues  until  the  project  is 
substantially complete and ready for its intended use. When no debt is incurred specifically for a project, interest is capitalized 
on  project  expenditures  using  the  weighted  average  cost  of  the  Company's  outstanding  borrowings.  For  the  years  ended 
December  31,  2021  and  2020,  respectively,  the  Company  capitalized  $1.2  million  and  $2.3  million  of  interest  expense  into 
property, plant and equipment. 

ACQUISITIONS

Results of operations of acquired companies are included in the Company’s results of operations as of the respective acquisition 
dates.  The  Company  accounts  for  the  acquisition  of  a  business  in  accordance  with  ASC  805,  Business  Combinations  (ASC 
805). Amounts paid to acquire a business are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at 
the date of acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in recorded as goodwill. 
Transaction costs and costs to restructure the acquired company are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Contingent  consideration  is  recorded  at  fair  value  as  measured  on  the  date  of  acquisition.  The  value  recorded  is  based  on 
estimates  of  future  financial  projections  under  various  potential  scenarios  using  either  a  Monte  Carlo  simulation  or  the 
probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue estimates and probability assessment with respect to the likelihood 
of  achieving  contingent  obligations.  Contingent  payments  related  to  acquisitions  consist  of  development,  regulatory,  and 
commercial milestone payments, in addition to sales-based payments, and are valued using discounted cash flow techniques. 
Each quarter until such contingent amounts are earned, the fair value of the liability is remeasured at each reporting period and 
adjusted as a component of operating expenses based on changes to the underlying assumptions. The change in the fair value of 
sales-based payments is based upon future revenue estimates and increases or decreases as revenue estimates or expectation of 
timing of payment charges. The estimates used to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liability are subject to 
significant judgment and actual results are likely to differ from the amounts originally recorded.

The Company determines the fair value of acquired intangible assets based on detailed valuations that use certain information 
and  assumptions  provided  by  management.  The  Company  allocates  any  excess  purchase  price  over  the  fair  value  of  the  net 
tangible and intangible assets acquired to goodwill. Determining the fair value of these intangible assets, acquired as part of a 
business combination requires the Company to make significant estimates. These estimates include the amount and timing of 
projected future cash flows, the discount rate used to discount those cash flows to present value, the assessment of the asset’s 
life cycle, and the consideration of legal, technical, regulatory, economic, and competitive risks. The fair value assigned to other 
intangible assets is determined by estimating the future cash flows of each project or technology and discounting the net cash 
flows back to their present values. The discount rate used is determined at the time of measurement in accordance with accepted 
valuation methodologies.

Acquired  IPR&D  is  recognized  at  fair  value  and  initially  characterized  as  an  indefinite-lived  intangible  asset,  irrespective  of 
whether the acquired IPR&D has an alternative future use. The Company uses the income approach to determine the fair value 
of developed technology and IPR&D acquired in a business combination. This approach determines fair value by estimating the 
after-tax cash flows attributable to the respective asset over its useful life and then discounting these after-tax cash flows back 
to a present value. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the 
estimated net cash flows for each year for each product including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing 
costs,  the  appropriate  discount  rate  to  select  in  order  to  measure  the  risk  inherent  in  each  future  cash  flow  stream,  the 
assessment of each asset’s life cycle, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream. The Company also 
uses  the  income  approach,  as  described  above,  to  determine  the  estimated  fair  value  of  certain  other  identifiable  intangible 
assets  including  customer  relationships,  trade  names  and  business  licenses.  Customer  relationships  represent  established 
relationships  with  customers,  which  provide  a  ready  channel  for  the  sale  of  additional  products  and  services.  Trade  names 
represent acquired company and product names.

IPR&D  acquired  in  a  business  combination  is  capitalized  as  an  indefinite-lived  intangible  asset.  Development  costs  incurred 
after the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Upon receipt of regulatory approval, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is then 
accounted for as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortized on a straight-line basis or accelerated basis, as appropriate, over its 
estimated useful life. If the research and development project is subsequently abandoned, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is 
charged to expense. IPR&D acquired outside of a business combination is expensed immediately.

Due to the uncertainty associated with research and development projects, there is risk that actual results will differ materially 
from the original  cash flow projections and that the research and development project will result in a successful commercial 
product.  The  risks  associated  with  achieving  commercialization  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  delay  or  failure  to  obtain 
regulatory approvals to conduct clinical trials, delay or failure to obtain required market clearances, delays or issues with patent
issuance, or validity and litigation.

If the acquired net assets do not constitute a business under the acquisition method of accounting, the transaction is accounted 
for as an asset acquisition and no goodwill is recognized. In an asset acquisition, the amount allocated to acquired IPR&D with 
no  alternative  future  use  is  charged  to  expense  at  the  acquisition  date.  Payments  that  would  be  recognized  as  contingent 
consideration in a business combination are expensed when probable in an asset acquisition. Refer to Note 4, Acquisitions and 
Divestitures for more information.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS 

The excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets of acquired businesses is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not subject to 
amortization but is reviewed for impairment at the reporting unit level annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators 
arise. The Company's assessment of the recoverability of goodwill is based upon a comparison of the carrying value of goodwill 
with its estimated fair value. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment in the third quarter every year in accordance with 
ASC  Topic  350  and  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  the  carrying  value  of  goodwill  may  not  be 
recoverable. Refer to Note 7, Goodwill and Other Intangibles for more information.

F-11

INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The Company has two reportable segments with three underlying reporting units. Refer to Note 16, Segment and Geographic 
Information for more information on reportable segments. 

Other intangible assets include patents, trademarks, purchased technology, and supplier and customer relationships. Identifiable 
intangible assets are initially recorded at fair market value at the time of acquisition generally using an income or cost approach. 
The Company capitalizes costs incurred to renew or extend the term of recognized intangible assets and amortizes those costs
over their expected useful lives.

The Company tests intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the third quarter in accordance with ASC 
Topic  350.  Additionally,  the  Company  may  perform  interim  tests  if  an  event  occurs  or  circumstances  change  that  could 
potentially  reduce  the  fair  value  of  a  indefinite  lived  intangible  asset  below  its  carrying  amount.  The  Company  tests  for 
impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of 
factors, including specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether 
it is more likely than not that the fair values of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The Company may elect to 
bypass this qualitative evaluation and perform a quantitative test. 

Product rights and other definite-lived intangible assets are tested periodically for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 
360 when events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset's carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment 
testing involves comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows. In 
the  event  the  carrying  value  of  the  asset  exceeds  the  undiscounted  future  cash  flows,  the  carrying  value  is  considered  not 
recoverable  and  impairment  exists.  An  impairment  loss  is  measured  as  the  excess  of  the  asset's  carrying  value  over  its  fair 
value,  calculated  using  discounted  future  cash  flows.  The  computed  impairment  loss  is  recognized  in  the  period  that  the 
impairment occurs.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS 

Long-lived  assets  held  and  used  by  the  Company,  including  property,  plant  and  equipment,  intangible  assets,  and  leases  are 
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be 
recoverable.  For  purposes  of  evaluating  the  recoverability  of  long-lived  assets  to  be  held  and  used,  a  recoverability  test  is 
performed using projected undiscounted net cash flows applicable to the long-lived assets. If an impairment exists, the amount 
of such impairment is calculated based on the estimated fair value of the asset. Impairments to long-lived assets to be disposed 
of are recorded based upon the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the applicable assets. 

INTEGRA FOUNDATION 

The Company may periodically make contributions to the Integra Foundation, Inc. The Integra Foundation was incorporated in 
2002  exclusively  for  charitable,  educational,  and  scientific  purposes  and  qualifies  under  IRC  501(c)(3)  as  an  exempt  private 
foundation. Under its charter, the Integra Foundation engages in activities that promote health, the diagnosis and treatment of 
disease,  and  the  development  of  medical  science  through  grants,  contributions  and  other  appropriate  means.  The  Integra 
Foundation  is  a  separate  legal  entity  and  is  not  a  subsidiary  of  the  Company;  therefore,  its  results  are  not  included  in  these 
consolidated  financial  statements.  The  Company  contributed  $1.2  million,  $0.8  million  and  $0.3  million  to  the  Integra 
Foundation  during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2021,  2020  and  2019,  respectively.  These  contributions  were  recorded  in 
selling, general, and administrative expense.

DERIVATIVES 

The Company develops, manufactures, and sells medical devices globally and its earnings and cash flows are exposed to market 
risk from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The Company addresses these risks through a risk management 
program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments and operates the program pursuant to documented corporate 
risk  management  policies.  All  derivative  financial  instruments  are  recognized  in  the  financial  statements  at  fair  value  in 
accordance  with  the  authoritative  guidance.  Under  the  guidance,  for  those  instruments  that  are  designated  and  qualify  as 
hedging  instruments,  the  hedging  instrument  must  be  designated  as  a  fair  value  hedge,  cash  flow  hedge,  or  a  hedge  of  a  net 
investment  in  a  foreign  operation,  based  on  the  exposure  being  hedged.  The  accounting  for  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  a 
derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, further, on 
the  type  of  hedging  relationship.  The  Company's  derivative  instruments  do  not  subject  its  earnings  or  cash  flows  to  material 
risk, and gains and losses on these derivatives generally offset losses and gains on the item being hedged. The Company has not 
entered into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. From time to time, the Company may enter into derivatives that 
are not designated as hedging instruments in order to protect itself from currency volatility due to intercompany balances. 

All  derivative  instruments  are  recognized  at  the  fair  values  as  either  assets  or  liabilities  on  the  balance  sheet.  The  Company 
determines  the  fair  value  of  its  derivative  instruments  using  the  framework  prescribed  by  the  authoritative  guidance,  by 
considering the estimated amount the Company would receive to sell or transfer these instruments at the reporting date and by 
taking into account: expected forward interest rates, currency exchange rates, the creditworthiness of the counterparty for assets, 
and its creditworthiness for liabilities. In certain instances, the Company utilizes a discounted cash flow model to measure fair 
value.  Generally,  the  Company  uses  inputs  that  include  quoted  prices  for  similar  assets  or  liabilities  in  active  markets,  other 
observable inputs for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by 
correlation or other means. The Company has classified all of its derivative assets and liabilities within Level 2 of the fair value 
hierarchy  because  observable  inputs  are  available  for  substantially  the  full  term  of  its  derivative  instruments.  The  Company 
classifies derivatives designated as hedges in the same category as the item being hedged for cash flow presentation purposes.

The Company entered into foreign currency forward and foreign currency swap contracts that are not designated as a hedging 
instruments for accounting purposes. These contracts are recorded at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognized into 
other income, net on the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 6, Derivative Instruments for more information.

FOREIGN CURRENCY 

All assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries which have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the 
rate  of  exchange  at  year-end,  while  elements  of  the  income  statement  are  translated  at  the  average  exchange  rates  in  effect 
during the year. The net effect of these translation adjustments is shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive 
income (loss). These currency translation adjustments are not currently adjusted for income taxes as they relate to permanent 
investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. Foreign currency transaction net gains of less than $0.1 million, and net losses of $1.6 
million  and  $0.3  million  are  reported  in  other  income,  net  in  the  statements  of  operations,  for  the  year  ended  December  31, 
2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

INCOME TAXES 

Income taxes are accounted for by using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the 
estimated  future  tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial  statement  carrying  amounts  of  existing 
assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some 
portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax 
rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. 

The  Company  recognizes  a  tax  benefit  from  an  uncertain  tax  position  only  if  it  is  more  likely  than  not  to  be  sustained  upon 
examination based on the technical merits of the position. Reserves are established for positions that don't meet this recognition 
threshold.  The  reserve  is  measured  as  the  largest  amount  of  benefit  determined  on  a  cumulative  probability  basis  that  the 
Company believes is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement of the position. These reserves are classified 
as long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company, unless the reserves are expected to be paid in cash 
during the next twelve months, in which case they are classified as current liabilities. The Company also records interest and 
penalties accrued in relation to uncertain tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. 

While the Company believes it has identified all reasonable exposures and the reserve it has established is appropriate under the 
circumstances,  it  is  possible  that  additional  exposures  exist  and  that  exposures  may  be  settled  at  amounts  different  than  the 
amounts  reserved.  It  is  also  possible  that  changes  in  facts  and  circumstances  could  cause  the  Company  to  either  materially 
increase or reduce the carrying amount of its tax reserve.

The  Company  continues  to  indefinitely  reinvest  substantially  all  of  its  foreign  earnings.  The  current  provisional  analysis 
indicates  that  the  Company  has  sufficient  U.S.  liquidity,  including  borrowing  capacity,  to  fund  foreseeable  U.S.  cash  needs 
without requiring the repatriation of foreign cash. One time or unusual items that may impact the ability or intent to keep the 
foreign  earnings  and  cash  indefinitely  reinvested  include  significant  U.S.  acquisitions,  loans  from  a  foreign  subsidiary  and 
changes in tax laws. 

REVENUE RECOGNITION 

Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products or services to the customers in an amount that reflects 
the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products and services. 

Total revenue, net, includes product sales, product royalties and other revenues, such as fees received from services. 

For products shipped with FOB shipping point terms, the control of the product passes to the customer at the time of shipment. 
For  shipments  in  which  the  control  of  the  product  is  transferred  when  the  customer  receives  the  product,  the  Company 
recognizes revenue upon receipt by the customer. Certain products that the Company produces for private label customers have 
no  alternative  use  and  the  Company  has  a  right  of  payment  for  performance  to  date.  Revenues  from  those  products  are 
recognized  over  the  period  that  the  Company  manufactures  these  products,  which  is  typically  one  to  three  months.  The 
Company uses the input method to measure the manufacturing activities completed to date, which depicts the progress of the 
Company's performance obligation of transferring control of goods being manufactured for private label customers.

A  portion  of  the  Company's  product  revenue  is  generated  from  consigned  inventory  maintained  at  hospitals  and  distributors, 
and also from inventory physically held by field sales representatives. For these types of products sales, the Company retains 
control until the product has been used or implanted, at which time revenue is recognized.

Revenues from sale of products and services are evidenced by either a contract with the customer or a valid purchase order and 
an invoice which includes all relevant terms of sale. For product sales, invoices are generally issued upon the transfer of control 
(or  upon  the  completion  of  the  manufacturing  in  the  case  of  the  private  label  transactions  recognized  over  time)  and  are 
typically payable 30 days after the invoice date. The Company performs a review of each specific customer's creditworthiness 
and  ability  to  pay  prior  to  acceptance  as  a  customer.  Further,  the  Company  performs  periodic  reviews  of  its  customers' 
creditworthiness prospectively. Refer to Note 3, Revenue From Contracts With Customers for more information.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 

Research and development costs, including salaries, depreciation, consultant and other external fees, and facility costs directly 
attributable to research and development activities, are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

EMPLOYEE TERMINATION BENEFITS

The Company does not have a written severance plan, and it does not offer similar termination benefits to affected employees in 
all  restructuring  initiatives.  Accordingly,  in  situations  where  minimum  statutory  termination  benefits  must  be  paid  to  the 
affected employees, the Company records employee severance costs associated with these restructuring activities in accordance 
with  the  authoritative  guidance  for  non-retirement  post-employment  benefits.  Charges  associated  with  these  activities  are 
recorded when the payment of benefits is probable and can be reasonably estimated. In all other situations where the Company 
pays  out  termination  benefits,  including  supplemental  benefits  paid  in  excess  of  statutory  minimum  amounts  and  benefits 
offered to affected employees based on management's discretion, the Company records these termination costs in accordance 
with  the  authoritative  guidance  for  ASC  Topic  712  Compensation-Nonretirement  Benefits  and  ASC  Topic  420  One-time 
Employee Termination Benefits. 

The  timing  of  the  recognition  of  charges  for  employee  severance  costs  other  than  minimum  statutory  benefits  depends  on 
whether  the  affected  employees  are  required  to  render  service  beyond  their  legal  notification  period  in  order  to  receive  the 
benefits. If affected employees are required to render service beyond their legal notification period, charges are recognized over 
the  future  service  period.  Otherwise,  charges  are  recognized  when  management  has  approved  a  specific  plan  and  employee 
communication requirements have been met.

INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The Company incurred restructuring costs of $3.4 million and $4.9 million in cost of goods sold, $0.5 million and $1.2 million 
in  selling,  general  and  administrative  and  $0.3  million  and  $0.3  million  in  research  and  development  related  to  employee 
terminations associated with a future plant closure in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 
2021  and  2020,  respectively.  Restructuring  costs  of  $10.2  million  were  included  in  accrued  expenses  and  other  current 
liabilities and $6.4 million were included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 
2021 and 2020, respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION 

Relevant  authoritative  guidance  requires  companies  to  recognize  the  expense  related  to  the  fair  value  of  their  stock-based 
compensation awards. Stock-based compensation expense for stock option awards are based on the grant date fair value using 
the  binomial  distribution  model.  The  Company  recognizes  compensation  expense  for  stock  option  awards,  restricted  stock 
awards,  performance  stock  awards  and  contract  stock  awards  over  the  requisite  service  period  of  the  award.  All  excess  tax 
benefits  and  taxes  and  tax  deficiencies  from  stock-based  compensation  are  included  in  provision  for  income  taxes  in  the 
consolidated statement of operations. Refer to Note 9, Stock-based Compensation for more information.

PENSION BENEFITS

The  Company  maintains  defined  benefit  pension  plans  that  cover  certain  employees  in  France,  Japan,  Germany  and 
Switzerland. Various factors are considered in determining the pension liability, including the number of employees expected to 
be  paid  their  salary  levels  and  years  of  service,  the  expected  return  on  plan  assets,  the  discount  rate  used  to  determine  the 
benefit obligations, the timing of benefit payments and other actuarial assumptions.

Retirement benefit plan assumptions are reassessed on an annual basis or more frequently if changes in circumstances indicate a 
re-evaluation of assumptions are required. The key benefit plan assumptions are the discount rate and expected rate of return on 
plan assets. The discount rate is based on average rates on bonds that matched the expected cash outflows of the benefit plans. 
The expected rate of return is based on historical and expected returns on the various categories of plan assets. 

The Company uses the corridor approach in measuring the amount of net periodic benefit pension cost to recognize each period. 
The  corridor  approach  defers  all  actuarial  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  variances  between  actual  results  and  actuarial 
assumptions. Those unrecognized gains and losses are amortized when the net gains and losses exceed 10% of the greater of the 
market-related value of plan assets or the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the year. The amount in excess of the 
corridor is amortized over the average remaining service period to retirement date of active plan participants.

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan in which certain employees of the Company may defer the payment and 
taxation of up to 75% of their base salary and up to 100% of bonus amounts and other eligible cash compensation.

This deferred compensation is invested in funds offered under the Plan and is valued based on Level 1 measurements in the fair 
value hierarchy. The purpose of the plan is to retain key employees by providing them with an opportunity to defer a portion of 
their  compensation  as  elected  by  the  participant  in  accordance  with  the  plan.  Any  amounts  set  aside  to  defray  the  liabilities 
assumed by the Company will remain the general assets of the Company until such amounts are distributed to the participants. 
Assets of the Company's deferred compensation plan are included in Other current assets and recorded at fair value based on 
their quoted market prices. 

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and 
cash  equivalents,  which  are  held  at  major  financial  institutions,  investment-grade  marketable  debt  securities  and  trade 
receivables. 

The Company's products are sold on an uncollateralized basis and on credit terms based upon a credit risk assessment of each 
customer.  A  portion  of  the  Company's  trade  receivables  to  customers  outside  the  United  States  includes  sales  to  foreign 
distributors, who then sell to government owned or supported healthcare systems. 

None  of  the  Company's  customers  accounted  for  10%  or  more  of  the  consolidated  net  sales  during  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 
715-20):  Disclosure  Framework-Changes  to  the  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Defined  Benefit  Plans.  This  guidance  modifies 
the  disclosure  requirements  for  employers  that  sponsor  defined  benefit  pension  or  other  postretirement  plans.  The  ASU  is 
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption 
was permitted. The Company adopted this guidance during the year ended December 31, 2020. The adoption of this guidance 
did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), 
relating  to  a  customer's  accounting  for  implementation,  set-up,  and  other  upfront  costs  incurred  in  a  cloud  computing 
arrangement that is hosted by a vendor (e.g., a service contract). Under this guidance, a customer will apply the same criteria for 
capitalizing implementation costs as it would for an arrangement that has a software license. The new guidance also prescribes 
the  balance  sheet,  income  statement,  and  cash  flow  classification  of  the  capitalized  implementation  costs  and  related 
amortization expense, and requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and 
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance on January 
1,  2020  using  a  prospective  transition  method.  The  adoption  of  this  guidance  did  not  have  a  significant  impact  on  the 
Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, intended to 
simplify  the  accounting  for  income  taxes  by  eliminating  certain  exceptions  related  to  the  approach  for  intra-period  tax 
allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for 
outside basis differences. This guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax 
laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is 
effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within, with early adoption permitted. The 
Company  adopted  ASU  2019-12  as  of  January  1,  2021.  Adoption  of  the  standard  requires  certain  changes  to  be  made 
prospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact 
on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provides optional guidance for a limited period 
of  time  to  ease  the  potential  burden  in  accounting  for  (or  recognizing  the  effects  of)  reference  rate  reform  on  financial 
reporting. This amendment applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, 
and  other  transactions  that  reference  London  Inter-Bank  Offered  Rate  ("LIBOR")  or  another  reference  rate  expected  to  be 
discontinued because of reference rate reform. This ASU is effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract 
modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the 
FASB also issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform- Scope which clarified certain optional expedients and exceptions to 
entities that are affected because of the reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU affect the guidance in ASU 2020-04 
and are effective in the same timeframe as ASU 2020-04. The Company currently has contracts that are indexed to LIBOR and 
are  continuing  to  monitor  this  activity  and  evaluate  the  associated  risk.  The  Company  is  continuing  to  evaluate  the  scope  of 
impacted contracts and the potential impact. The Company is also monitoring the developments regarding alternative rates and 
may amend certain contracts to accommodate those rates if the contract does not already specify a replacement rate. While the 
notional  value  of  agreements  potentially  indexed  to  LIBOR  is  material,  the  Company  does  not  expect  a  material  impact 
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures associated with this transition.

In  August  2020,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2020-06,  Debt-  Debt  with  Conversion  and  Other  Options  (Subtopic  470-20)  and 
Derivatives  and  Hedging-Contracts  in  Entity's  Own  Equity  (Subtopic  815-40):Accounting  for  Convertible  Instruments  and 
Contracts  in  an  Entity's  Own  Equity.  The  guidance  simplifies  accounting  for  convertible  instruments  by  removing  major 
separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single 
liability  instrument  with  no  separate  accounting  for  embedded  conversion  features.  The  ASU  removes  certain  settlement 
conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity 
contracts to qualify. The guidance also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The ASU will be 
effective  for  annual  and  interim  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2021,  and  early  adoption  is  permitted  for  fiscal  years 
beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years using either the modified retrospective or full 
retrospective method. 

As detailed in Note 5, Debt, on February 4, 2020, the Company issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.5% 
Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"). The 2025 Notes are subject to the guidance included in ASU 2020-06. 
The  Company  adopted  this  guidance  on  January  1,  2021  using  the  modified  retrospective  approach  which  resulted  in  a 
cumulative-effect adjustment that increased (decreased) the following consolidated balance sheet accounts:

On  December  9,  2020,  the  Company  made  an  irrevocable  election  under  the  indenture  to  require  the  principal  portion  of  its 
2025 Notes to be settled in cash and any excess in shares. Following the irrevocable notice, only the amounts settled in excess 
of  the  principal  will  be  considered  in  diluted  earnings  per  share  under  the  “if-converted”  method.  Upon  adoption  of  ASU 
2020-06, the Company’s 2025 Notes were reflected entirely as a liability since the embedded conversion feature will no longer 
be separately presented within stockholders’ equity. Additionally, from January 1, 2021, the Company is no longer incurring 
non-cash  interest  expense  for  the  amortization  of  debt  discount,  therefore  the  interest  expense  for  the  2025  Notes,  which  is 
included in the interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, is lower as compared to 
the fiscal year of 2020.

In  October  2020,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2020-10,  Codification  Improvements,  which  updates  various  codification  topics  by 
clarifying or improving disclosure requirements to align with the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 
(the "SEC") . The ASU has been effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2021. The 
Company adopted this standard on the January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the 
Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In  May  2021,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2021-04,  Earnings  Per  Share  (Topic  260),  Debt—Modifications  and  Extinguishments 
(Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own 
Equity  (Subtopic  815-40):  Issuer’s  Accounting  for  Certain  Modifications  or  Exchanges  of  Freestanding  Equity-Classified 
Written  Call  Options  which  provides  guidance  to  clarify  and  reduce  diversity  in  an  issuer’s  accounting  for  modifications  or 
exchanges  of  freestanding  equity-classified  written  call  options  (for  example,  warrants)  that  remain  equity  classified  after 
modification  or  exchange.  The  amendments  in  this  ASU  No.  2021-04  are  effective  for  all  entities  for  fiscal  years  beginning 
after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, including interim periods 
within those fiscal years. The amendment currently has no impact to the Company as the effect will largely depend on the terms 
of written call options or financings issued or modified in the future. 

There  are  no  other  recently  issued  accounting  pronouncements  that  are  expected  to  have  any  significant  effect  on  the 
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Cash paid for interest during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $43.2 million (net of $1.2 million that

NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Property and equipment purchases included in liabilities at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $4.7 million, $1.6 million 
and $11.0 million, respectively. 

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2021,  the  Company  achieved  its  final  developmental  milestone  which  triggered  a  $5.0  million

$5.0 million as an intangible asset in the consolidated balance sheet upon achieving the milestone. The remaining obligation 
was included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2021 in the consolidated balance sheets. The milestone is expected to be 
fully paid during the first quarter of 2022.

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2020,  the  Company  achieved  another  developmental  milestone  which  triggered  a  $20.0  million

3. REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Summary of Accounting Policies on Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products or services to the customers in an amount that reflects 
the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products and services. 

Performance Obligations

The Company's performance obligations consist mainly of transferring control of goods and services identified in the contracts, 
purchase orders, or invoices. The Company has no significant multi-element contracts with customers.

Significant Judgments

Usage-based  royalties  and  licenses  are  estimated  based  on  the  provisions  of  contracts  with  customers  and  recognized  in  the 
same  period  that  the  royalty-based  products  are  sold  by  the  Company's  strategic  partners.  The  Company  estimates  and 
recognizes  royalty  revenue  based  upon  communication  with  licensees,  historical  information,  and  expected  sales  trends. 
Differences  between  actual  reported  licensee  sales  and  those  that  were  estimated  are  adjusted  in  the  period  in  which  they 
become known, which is typically the following quarter. Historically, such adjustments have not been significant. 

The  Company  estimates  returns,  price  concessions,  and  discount  allowances  using  the  expected  value  method  based  on 
historical  trends  and  other  known  factors.  Rebate  allowances  are  estimated  using  the  most  likely  method  based  on  each 
customer contract. 

The  Company's  return  policy,  as  set  forth  in  its  product  catalogs  and  sales  invoices,  requires  review  and  authorization  in 
advance prior to the return of product. Upon the authorization, a credit will be issued for the goods returned within a set amount 
of days from the shipment, which is generally ninety days. 

The Company disregards the effects of a financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period 
between the transfer and customer payment for the goods or services will be one year or less. The Company has no significant 
revenues  recognized  on  payments  expected  to  be  received  more  than  one  year  after  the  transfer  of  control  of  products  or 
services to customers.

Contract Asset and Liability

Revenues recognized from the Company's private label business that are not invoiced to the customers as a result of recognizing 
revenue  over  time  are  recorded  as  a  contract  asset  included  in  the  prepaid  expenses  and  other  current  assets  account  in  the 
consolidated balance sheet. 

Other operating revenues may include fees received under service agreements. Non-refundable fees received under multiple-
period service agreements are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies the performance obligations to the other party. A 
portion of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations to be satisfied in the future periods is recognized as 
contract liability.

At December 31, 2021, the short-term portion of the contract liability of $5.3 million and the long-term portion of $6.7 million 
is included in current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company is expected to recognize revenue of approximately $5.3 million in 2022, $2.9 million 
in 2023, $1.8 million in 2024, $0.9 million in 2025, $0.6 million in 2026, and $0.4 million thereafter.

Shipping and Handling Fees

The Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than a separate performance 
obligation. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included as part of the transaction price and recognized 
as revenue when control of underlying products is transferred to the customer. The related shipping and freight charges incurred 
by the Company are included in the cost of goods sold. 

Product Warranties

Certain  of  the  Company's  medical  devices,  including  monitoring  systems  and  neurosurgical  systems,  are  designed  to  operate 
over  long  periods  of  time.  These  products  are  sold  with  warranties  which  may  extend  for  up  to  two  years  from  the  date  of 
purchase. The warranties are not considered a separate performance obligation. The Company estimates its product warranties 
using the expected value method based on historical trends and other known factors. The Company includes them in accrued 
expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Taxes Collected from Customers

The Company elected to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority 
that  are  both  imposed  on  and  concurrent  with  a  specific  revenue-producing  transaction  and  collected  by  the  entity  from  a 
customer.

The  divestiture  does  not  represent  a  strategic  shift  that  will  have  a  major  effect  on  the  Company's  operations  and  financial 
statements. Goodwill was allocated to the assets and liabilities divested using the relative fair value method of the Extremity 
Orthopedics  business  to  the  Company's  Tissue  Technologies  reporting  unit.  In  connection  with  the  sale,  the  Company 
recognized a gain of $41.8 million that is presented in Gain from the sale of business in the consolidated statement of operations 
for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company finalized the net working capital and paid an additional $1.3 million to 
Smith & Nephew as of December 31, 2021.

The Company also entered into a transition services agreement with Smith & Nephew which requires the Company to provide 
certain services on behalf of Smith & Nephew for the duration of the period subsequent to the sale of the business as defined in 
the agreement. The Company recognized a payable due to Smith & Nephew of $9.1 million as of December 31, 2021, included 
in the consolidated balance sheet within accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

ACell, Inc. Acquisition

On  January  20,  2021,  the  Company  acquired  ACell,  Inc.  (the  "ACell  Acquisition")  for  an  acquisition  purchase  price  of 
$306.9 million plus contingent considerations of up to $100 million, that may be payable upon achieving certain revenue-based 
performance milestones in 2022, 2023 and 2025. The final working capital adjustments of $1.3 million was finalized and paid 
as of June 30, 2021. ACell was a privately-held company that offered a portfolio of regenerative products for complex wound 
management, including developing and commercializing products based on MatriStem Urinary Bladder Matrix, a technology 
platform derived from porcine urinary bladder extracellular matrix.

Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed at Fair Value

The  ACell  Acquisition  has  been  accounted  for  using  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting.  This  method  requires  that  assets

The estimated fair value of the developed technology acquired was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method 
of  the  income  approach,  which  estimates  value  based  on  the  present  value  of  future  economic  benefits.  Some  of  the  more 
significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year 
for each product including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs, the appropriate discount rate to 
select  in  order  to  measure  the  risk  inherent  in  each  future  cash  flow  stream,  the  assessment  of  each  asset’s  life  cycle,  and 
competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream.

The Company used a discount rate of 8.5% to arrive at the present value for the acquired intangible assets to reflect the rate of 
return  a  market  participant  would  expect  to  earn  and  incremental  commercial  uncertainty  in  the  cash  flow  projections.  No 
assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change. For 
these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

Goodwill

The Company allocated goodwill related to the ACell acquisition to the Tissue Technologies segment. Goodwill is the excess of 
the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the expected synergies of the combined company and 
assembled workforce. Goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition is non-deductible for income tax purposes.

Contingent Consideration

As part of the acquisition, the Company is required to make payments to the former shareholders of ACell up to $100 million 
based  on  the  achievement  of  certain  revenue-based  performance  milestones  in  2022,  2023,  and  2025.  The  Company  used 
iterations of the Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration that considered the possible 
outcomes of scenarios related to each specific milestone. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration 
to be $23.9 million at the acquisition date. The estimated fair value as of December 31, 2021 was $21.8 million. This amount is 
included in other liabilities at December 31, 2021 in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The  Company  determined  the  acquisition  date  fair  value  of  contingent  consideration  obligations  using  a  Monte  Carlo 
simulation,  as  well  as  significant  unobservable  inputs,  reflecting  the  Company’s  assessment  of  the  assumptions  market 
participants would use to value these liabilities. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the 
market  and  thus  represents  a  Level  3  measurement  as  defined  using  the  fair  value  concepts  in  ASC  820.  The  resultant  most 
likely  payouts  are  discounted  using  an  appropriate  effective  annual  interest  rate.  At  each  reporting  date,  the  contingent 
consideration obligations is revalued to estimated fair value and changes in fair value will be reflected as income or expense in 
our consolidated statement of operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent considerations may result from changes in 
discount periods and rates and changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates. 

Deferred Tax Liabilities

Deferred tax liabilities result from identifiable intangible assets’ fair value adjustments. These adjustments create excess book 
basis over tax basis which is tax-effected by the statutory tax rates of applicable jurisdictions.

Pro Forma Results (unaudited)

Pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $1,547.0 million and $1,466.8 million, respectively. 
Pro forma net income and earnings per share are not presented for this acquisition as they are not material.

Arkis BioSciences Inc.

On July 29, 2019, the Company acquired Arkis BioSciences Inc. ("Arkis") for an acquisition purchase price of $30.6 million 
(the  "Arkis  Acquisition")  plus  contingent  consideration  of  up  to  $25.5  million,  that  may  be  payable  based  on  the  successful 
completion of certain development and commercial milestones. The contingent consideration had an acquisition date fair value 
of  $13.1  million.  Arkis  was  a  privately-held  company  that  marketed  the  CerebroFlo®  external  ventricular  drainage  (EVD) 
catheter  with  Endexo®  technology,  a  permanent  additive  designed  to  reduce  the  potential  for  catheter  obstruction  due  to 
thrombus formation. 

Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed at Fair Value

The  Arkis  Acquisition  has  been  accounted  for  using  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting.  This  method  requires  that  assets

The estimated fair value of the intangible assets was determined using the income approach, which is a valuation technique that 
provides  an  estimate  of  the  fair  value  of  an  asset  based  on  market  participant  expectations  of  the  cash  flows  an  asset  would 
generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset 
valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset (including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, 
selling and marketing costs, and working capital/contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate to select in order to 
measure  the  risk  inherent  in  each  future  cash  flow  stream,  the  assessment  of  each  asset’s  life  cycle,  and  competitive  trends 
impacting the asset and each cash flow stream.

The Company used a discount rate of 14.5% to arrive at the present value for the acquired intangible assets to reflect the rate of 
return  a  market  participant  would  expect  to  earn  and  incremental  commercial  uncertainty  in  the  cash  flow  projections.  No 
assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to prepare the discounted cash flow analysis will not change. For 
these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

Goodwill

The Company allocated goodwill related to the Arkis Acquisition to the Codman Specialty Surgical segment. Goodwill is the 
excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the expected revenue and cost synergies of 
the combined company and assembled workforce. One of the key factors that contributes to the recognition of goodwill, and a 
driver for the Company's acquisition of Arkis, is the planned expansion of the Endexo technology with the existing products 
within the Codman Specialty Surgical segment. Goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition is non-deductible for income 
tax purposes. 

Contingent Consideration

The  Company  determined  the  acquisition  date  fair  value  of  contingent  consideration  obligations  based  on  a  probability-
weighted  income  approach  derived  from  revenue  estimates  and  a  probability  assessment  with  respect  to  the  likelihood  of 
achieving contingent obligations. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and 
thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined using the fair value concepts in ASC 820. The resultant probability-weighted 
cash  flows  are  discounted  using  an  appropriate  effective  annual  interest  rate.  At  each  reporting  date,  the  contingent 
consideration obligation is revalued to estimated fair value and changes in fair value will be reflected as income or expense in 
our consolidated statement of operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations may result from 
changes  in  discount  periods  and  rates,  changes  in  the  timing  and  amount  of  revenue  estimates  and  changes  in  probability 
assumptions  with  respect  to  the  likelihood  of  achieving  the  various  contingent  payment  obligations.  Adverse  changes  in 
assumptions  utilized  in  the  contingent  consideration  fair  value  estimates  could  result  in  an  increase  in  the  contingent 
consideration obligation and a corresponding charge to operating results.

As part of the acquisition, the Company is required to pay the former shareholders of Arkis up to $25.5 million based on the 
timing of certain development milestones of $10 million and commercial sales milestones of $15.5 million, respectively. The 
Company  used  a  probability  weighted  income  approach  to  calculate  the  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  that 
considered the possible outcomes of scenarios related to each specified milestone. The Company estimated the fair value of the 
contingent consideration to be $13.1 million at the acquisition date. The estimated the fair value as of December 31, 2021 was 
$15.1 million. The Company recorded $3.7 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $11.4 million in other 
liabilities at December 31, 2021 in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company.

Deferred Tax Liabilities

Deferred tax liabilities result from identifiable intangible assets’ fair value adjustments. These adjustments create excess book 
basis over tax basis which is tax-effected by the statutory tax rates of applicable jurisdictions.

The pro forma results are not presented for this acquisition as they are not material.

Rebound Therapeutics Corporation

On  September  9,  2019,  the  Company  acquired  Rebound  Therapeutics  Corporation  (“Rebound”),  developers  of  a  single-use 
medical device known as the Aurora® Surgiscope® System ("Aurora") which enables minimally invasive access, using optics 
and illumination, for visualization, diagnostic and therapeutic use in neurosurgery (the “Rebound transaction”). Under the terms 
of  the  Rebound  transaction,  the  Company  made  an  upfront  payment  of  $67.1  million  and  are  committed  to  pay  up  to  $35.0 
million of contingent development milestones upon achievement of certain regulatory milestones. The acquisition of Rebound 
was primarily concentrated in one single identifiable asset and thus, for accounting purposes, the Company has concluded that 
the acquired assets do not meet the accounting definition of a business. The initial payment was allocated primarily to Aurora, 
resulting in a $59.9 million IPR&D expense. The balance of approximately $7.2 million, which included $2.1 million of cash 
and  cash  equivalents  and  a  net  deferred  tax  asset  of  $4.2  million,  was  allocated  to  the  remaining  net  assets  acquired.  The 
deferred tax asset primarily resulted from a federal net operating loss carry forward. 

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2019,  the  Company  achieved  the  first  developmental  milestone  which  triggered  a  $5.0  million 
obligation  to  be  paid  to  former  shareholders  of  Rebound.  The  Company  recorded  $5.0  million  as  IPR&D  expense  in  the 
consolidated  statements  of  operations.  The  obligation  was  included  in  accrued  expenses  and  other  current  liabilities  at 
December 31, 2019 in the consolidated balance sheets. The milestone was paid during the first quarter of 2020.

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2020,  the  Company  achieved  another  developmental  milestone  which  triggered  a  $20.0  million 
obligation to be paid to the former shareholders of Rebound. The Company recorded $20.0 million as an intangible asset in the 
consolidated balance sheet upon achieving the milestone. The milestone was paid during the fourth quarter of 2020.

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2021,  the  Company  achieved  its  final  developmental  milestone  which  triggered  a  $5.0  million 
obligation to be paid to the former shareholders of Rebound. The Company recorded $5.0 million as an intangible asset in the 
consolidated balance sheet upon achieving the milestone. The remaining obligation was included in accrued expenses and other 
current liabilities at December 31, 2021 in the consolidated balance sheets. The milestone is expected to be fully paid during the 
first quarter of 2022.

Integrated Shoulder Collaboration, Inc.

On  January  4,  2019,  the  Company  entered  into  a  licensing  agreement  with  Integrated  Shoulder  Collaboration,  Inc  ("ISC"). 
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid ISC $1.7 million for the exclusive, worldwide license to commercialize its 
short stem and stemless shoulder system. A patent related to short stem and stemless shoulder systems was issued to ISC during 
the  first  quarter  of  2019.  ISC  is  eligible  to  receive  royalties  on  sales  of  the  short  stem  and  stemless  shoulder  system.  The 
Company has the option to acquire ISC at a date four years subsequent to the first commercial sale, which becomes mandatory 
upon the achievement of a certain sales thresholds of the short stem and stemless shoulder system, for an amount not to exceed 
$80.0 million. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition as the Company concluded that it acquired primarily 
one asset. The total upfront payment of $1.7 million was expensed as a component of research and development expense and 
the future milestone and option payments will be recorded if the corresponding events become probable. 

In  connection  with  the  sale  of  the  Company's  Extremity  Orthopedic  business,  on  January  4,  2021  the  Company  paid 
$41.5 million to CFO pursuant to the terms of certain agreements between the Company and CFO relating to the sale of shares 
of ISC effectively terminating our licensing agreement with ISC.

5. DEBT

Amendment to the Sixth Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement

On February 3, 2020, the Company entered into the sixth amendment and restatement (the "February 2020 Amendment") of its 
Senior  Credit  Facility  (the  "Senior  Credit  Facility")  with  a  syndicate  of  lending  banks  with  Bank  of  America,  N.A.,  as 
Administrative  Agent.  The  February  2020  Amendment  extended  the  maturity  date  to  February  3,  2025.  The  Company 
continues  to  have  the  aggregate  principal  amount  of  up  to  approximately  $2.2  billion  available  to  it  through  the  following 
facilities: (i) a $877.5 million Term Loan facility, and (ii) a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility, which includes a $60 million 
sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $60 million sublimit for swingline loans.

On July 14, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment (the "July 2020 Amendment") to the February 2020 Amendment of 
the  Senior  Credit  Facility  to  increase  financial  flexibility  through  June  30,  2021,  in  light  of  the  unprecedented  impact  and 
uncertainty  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  on  the  global  economy.  The  July  2020  amendment  did  not  increase  the  Company’s 
total indebtedness.

In  connection  with  the  July  2020  amendment,  the  Company’s  maximum  consolidated  total  leverage  ratio  in  the  financial 
covenants (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) was modified to the following:

Fiscal Quarter

Execution of July 2020 Amendment through June 30, 2021
September 30, 2021 through June 30, 2022
September 30, 2022 through June 30, 2023

Maximum Consolidated Total 
Leverage Ratio

5.50 to 1.00
5.00 to 1.00
4.50 to 1.00
4.00 to 1.00

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to the following:

i.

ii.

the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the amendment and restatement) in effect from time to time plus the applicable rate 
(ranging from 1.00% to 2.25%), or 
the highest of:

3.

the weighted average overnight Federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 
plus 0.50%

the prime lending rate of Bank of America, N.A. or

the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00% 

The  applicable  rates  are  based  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  total  leverage  ratio  (defined  as  the  ratio  of  (a)  consolidated 
funded  indebtedness  as  of  such  date  less  cash  that  is  not  subject  to  any  restriction  on  the  use  or  investment  thereof  to

(b) consolidated EBITDA (as defined by the July 2020 amendment), for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on 
such date).

The Company will pay an annual commitment fee (ranging from 0.15% to 0.30%), based on the Company's consolidated total 
leverage ratio, on the amount available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility. 

The  Senior  Credit  Facility  is  collateralized  by  substantially  all  of  the  assets  of  the  Company’s  U.S.  subsidiaries,  excluding 
intangible assets. The Senior Credit Facility is subject to various financial and negative covenants and at December 31, 2021, 
the  Company  was  in  compliance  with  all  such  covenants.  In  connection  with  the  February  2020  Amendment,  the  Company 
capitalized  $4.6  million  of  financing  costs  in  connection  with  modification  of  the  Senior  Credit  Facility  and  wrote  off 
$1.2  million  of  previously  capitalized  financing  costs  during  the  first  quarter  of  2020.  In  connection  with  the  July  2020 
amendment,  the  Company  expensed  $3.3  million  of  incremental  financing  costs  in  connection  with  the  modification  of  the 
Senior Credit Facility during the third quarter of 2020.

At  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  there  was  $31.3  million  and  $97.5  million,  respectively,  outstanding  under  the  revolving 
portion of the Senior Credit Facility at weighted average interest rates of 1.4% and 1.5%, respectively. At December 31, 2021 
and  2020,  there  was  $843.8  million  and  $877.5  million,  respectively,  outstanding,  under  the  Term  Loan  component  of  the 
Senior Credit Facility at weighted average interest rate of 1.4% and 1.5%, respectively. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there 
was $45.0 million and $33.8 million, respectively, of the Term Loan component of the Senior Credit Facility was classified as 
current on the consolidated balance sheets.

The  fair  value  of  outstanding  borrowings  of  the  Senior  Credit  Facility's  revolving  credit  and  Term  Loan  components  at 
December  31,  2021  were  $31.0  million  and  $838.4  million,  respectively.  These  fair  values  were  determined  by  using  a 
discounted cash flow model based on current market interest rates available to the Company. These inputs are corroborated by 
observable market data for similar liabilities and therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 inputs 
represent  inputs  that  are  observable  for  the  asset  or  liability,  either  directly  or  indirectly,  and  are  other  than  active  market 
observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities

Letters  of  credit  outstanding  as  of  December  31,  2021  and  2020  totaled  $1.6  million.  There  were  no  amounts  drawn  as  of 
December 31, 2021.

Contractual repayments of the Term Loan component of the Senior Credit Facility are due as follows:

Future interest payments on the term loan component of the Senior Credit Facility based on current interest rates are expected to 
approximate $11.0 million in 2022, $10.3 million in 2023, $9.4 million in 2024, and $0.9 million in 2025. Interest is calculated 
on the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility based on LIBOR plus the spread paid by the Company. As the revolving 
credit facility and Securitization Facility can be repaid at any time, no interest has been included in the calculation.

The outstanding balance of the revolving credit component of the Senior Credit Facility is due on February 3, 2025. 

Convertible Senior Notes

On February 4, 2020, the Company issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 
2025 (the "2025 Notes"). The 2025 Notes will mature on August 15, 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 0.5% per annum payable 
semi-annually  in  arrears,  unless  earlier  converted,  repurchased  or  redeemed  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  2025  Notes. 
The portion of debt proceeds that was classified as equity at the time of the offering was $104.5 million. The effective interest 
rate implicit in the liability component was 4.2%. In connection with this offering, the Company capitalized $13.2 million of 
financing fees. 

The 2025 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company, and are convertible into cash and shares of its common stock 
based on initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment of 13.5739 shares per $1,000 principal amounts of the 2025 Notes (which

value of  the 2025 Notes during a period as defined in the indenture; (3) at any time on or after February 20, 2023; or (4) if 
specified  corporate  transactions  occur.  As  of  December  31,  2021,  none  of  these  conditions  existed  with  respect  to  the  2025 
Notes and as a result the 2025 Notes are classified as long term.

On  December  9,  2020,  the  Company  entered  into  the  First  Supplemental  Indenture  to  the  original  agreement  dated  as  of 
February 4, 2020 between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as trustee, governing the Company’s outstanding 2025 Notes. The 
Company  irrevocably  elected  (1)  to  eliminate  the  Company’s  option  to  choose  physical  settlement  on  any  conversion  of  the 
2025  Notes  that  occurs  on  or  after  the  date  of  the  First  Supplemental  Indenture  and  (2)  with  respect  to  any  Combination 
Settlement for a conversion of the 2025 Notes, the Specified Dollar Amount that will be settled in cash per $1,000 principal 
amount of the 2025 Notes shall be no lower than $1,000. 

Holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at 100% of 
their principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the 
indenture  relating  to  the  Notes).  The  Company  will  also  be  required  to  increase  the  conversion  rate  for  holders  who  convert 
their Notes in connection with certain fundamental changes occurring prior to the maturity date or following delivery by the 
Company of a notice of redemption. 

In  connection  with  the  issuance  of  the  2025  Notes,  the  Company  entered  into  call  transactions  and  warrant  transactions, 
primarily with affiliates of the initial purchasers of the 2025 Notes (the “hedge participants”). The cost of the call transactions 
was $104.2 million for the 2025 Notes. The Company received $44.5 million of proceeds from the warrant transactions for the 
2025  Notes.  The  call  transactions  involved  purchasing  call  options  from  the  hedge  participants,  and  the  warrant  transactions 
involved selling call options to the hedge participants with a higher strike price than the purchased call options. The initial strike 
price of the call transactions was $73.67, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those in the 2025 Notes. 
The  initial  strike  price  of  the  warrant  transactions  was  $113.34  for  the  2025  Notes,  subject  to  customary  anti-dilution 
adjustments.

At December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of the liability component was $485.9 million, the remaining unamortized discount 
was $89.1 million, and the principal amount outstanding was $575.0 million. On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 
2020-06 using the modified retrospective method. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further details. 
At  December  31,  2021,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  liability  was  $575.0  million.  The  fair  value  of  the  2025  Notes  at 
December 31, 2021 was $640.5 million. Factors that the Company considered when estimating the fair value of the 2025 Notes 
included recent quoted market prices or dealer quote. The level of the 2025 Notes is considered as Level 1. 

As  a  result  of  the  adoption  of  ASU  2020-06,  the  Company  recognized  only  cash  interest  related  to  the  contractual  interest 
coupon of $2.9 million on the 2025 Notes for the year ended December 31, 2021. Prior to the adoption, during the year ended 
December  31,  2020,  the  Company  recognized  cash  interest  of  $2.6  million  and  amortization  of  the  discount  on  the  liability 
component of $15.4 million for a total interest charge of $18.0 million on the 2025 Notes.

Securitization Facility

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company entered into an accounts receivable securitization facility (the "Securitization 
Facility") under which accounts receivable of certain domestic subsidiaries are sold on a non-recourse basis to a special purpose 
entity (“SPE”), which is a bankruptcy-remote, consolidated subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, the assets of the SPE are 
not available to satisfy the obligations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. From time to time, the SPE may finance such 
accounts receivable with a revolving loan facility secured by a pledge of such accounts receivable. The amount of outstanding 
borrowings on the Securitization Facility at any one time is limited to $150.0 million. The Securitization Facility Agreement 
("Securitization  Agreement")  governing  the  Securitization  Facility  contains  certain  covenants  and  termination  events.  An 
occurrence of an event of default or a termination event under this Securitization Agreement may give rise to the right of its 
counterparty to terminate this facility. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants and none 
of the termination events had occurred.

On May 28, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment (the "May 2021 Amendment") of the Securitization Facility which 
extended  the  maturity  date  from  December  21,  2021  to  May  28,  2024.  The  May  2021  Amendment  does  not  increase  the 
Company’s total indebtedness.

At  both  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  the  Company  had  $112.5  million,  of  outstanding  borrowings  under  its  Securitization 
Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 1.1% and 1.3%, respectively. The fair value of the outstanding borrowing of the 
Securitization Facility at December 31, 2021 was $111.8 million. These fair values were determined by using a discounted cash 
flow  model  based  on  current  market  interest  rates  available  to  the  Company.  These  inputs  are  corroborated  by  observable 
market data for similar liabilities and therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 inputs represent 
inputs  that  are  observable  for  the  asset  or  liability,  either  directly  or  indirectly,  and  are  other  than  active  market  observable 
inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities.

6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Interest Rate Hedging

The  Company’s  interest  rate  risk  relates  to  U.S.  dollar  denominated  variable  interest  rate  borrowings.  The  Company  uses 
interest rate swap derivative instruments to manage earnings and cash flow exposure resulting from changes in interest rates. 
These  interest  rate  swaps  apply  a  fixed  interest  rate  on  a  portion  of  the  Company's  expected  LIBOR-indexed  floating-rate 
borrowings.

The  Company  has  designated  these  derivative  instruments  as  cash  flow  hedges.  The  Company  assesses  the  effectiveness  of 
these  derivative  instruments  and  has  recorded  the  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  derivative  instrument  designated  as  a  cash 
flow hedge as unrealized gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”), net of tax, until the hedged item 
affected earnings, at which point any gain or loss was reclassified to earnings. If the hedged cash flow does not occur, or if it 
becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company will reclassify the remaining amount of any gain or loss on the related 
cash flow hedge recorded in AOCL to interest expense at that time.

Foreign Currency Hedging

From time to time, the Company enters into foreign currency hedge contracts intended to protect the U.S. dollar value of certain 
forecasted  foreign  currency  denominated  transactions.  The  Company  assesses  the  effectiveness  of  the  contracts  that  are 
designated as hedging instruments. The changes in fair value of foreign currency cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCL, net 
of tax. Those amounts are subsequently reclassified to earnings from AOCL as impacted by the hedged item when the hedged 
item affects earnings. If the hedged forecasted transaction does not occur, or if it becomes probable that it will not occur, the 
Company will reclassify the amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge to earnings at that time. For contracts not 
designated  as  hedging  instruments,  the  changes  in  fair  value  of  the  contracts  are  recognized  in  other  income,  net  in  the 
consolidated  statements  of  operation,  along  with  the  offsetting  foreign  currency  gain  or  loss  on  the  underlying  assets  or 
liabilities.

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2020,  the  Company  entered  into  foreign  currency  forward  contracts,  with  a  notional  amount  of 
$9.7  million,  to  mitigate  the  foreign  exchange  risk  related  to  certain  intercompany  loans  denominated  in  Canadian  Dollar 
("CAD")  and  intercompany  receivables  denominated  in  Japanese  Yen  ("JPY").  The  contracts  are  not  designated  as  hedging 
instruments.  The  Company  subsequently  settled  its  foreign  currency  forward  contracts  associated  with  the  intercompany 
receivables denominated in JPY during the first quarter of 2021. The Company recognized a $0.2 million loss from the change 
in  fair  value  of  the  contracts,  which  was  included  in  other  income,  net  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  operations  as  of 
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts denominated in CAD was 
$0.2  million  as  of  December  31,  2021.  The  fair  value  of  the  foreign  currency  forward  contracts  was  $0.2  million  as  of 
December 31, 2020.

During  the  second  quarter  of  2021,  the  Company  entered  into  a  foreign  currency  swap,  with  a  notional  of  $7.3  million  to 
mitigate the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with certain intercompany loan denominated in

Japanese Yen ("JPY"). In a foreign currency swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified 
intervals,  the  difference  between  one  currency  and  another  currency  at  a  fixed  exchange  rate,  generally  set  at  inception, 
calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. The notional amount of each currency is exchanged at the inception 
and termination of the currency swap by each party. The change in fair value of the foreign currency swap was $0.6 million as 
of December 31, 2021.

The  success  of  the  Company’s  hedging  program  depends,  in  part,  on  forecasts  of  certain  activity  denominated  in  foreign 
currency. The Company may experience unanticipated currency exchange gains or losses to the extent that there are differences 
between forecasted and actual activities during periods of currency volatility. In addition, changes in currency exchange rates 
related to any unhedged transactions may affect earnings and cash flows. 

Cross-Currency Rate Swaps

On October 2, 2017, the Company entered into cross currency swap agreements to convert a notional amount of $300.0 million 
equivalent  to  291.2  million  of  Swiss  Francs  ("CHF")  denominated  intercompany  loans  into  U.S.  dollars.  The  CHF- 
denominated intercompany loans were the result of the purchase of intellectual property by a subsidiary in Switzerland as part 
of an acquisition.

On  December  21,  2020,  the  Company  entered  into  cross-currency  swap  agreements  to  convert  a  notional  amount  of 
$471.6 million equivalent to 420.1 million of a CHF-denominated intercompany loan into U.S. dollars. The CHF-denominated 
intercompany loan was the result of an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights to a subsidiary in Switzerland 
completed  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  2020.  The  intercompany  loan  requires  quarterly  payments  of  CHF  5.8  million  plus 
accrued  interest.  As  a  result,  the  aggregate  notional  amount  of  the  related  cross-currency  swaps  will  decrease  by  a 
corresponding amount.

The objective of these cross-currency swaps is to reduce volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in the 
foreign  currency  exchange  rate.  Under  the  terms  of  these  contracts,  which  have  been  designated  as  cash  flow  hedges,  the 
Company will make interest payments in Swiss Francs and receive interest in U.S. dollars. Upon the maturity of these contracts, 
the Company will pay the principal amount of the loans in Swiss Francs and receive U.S. dollars from the counterparties.

On October 4, 2021 in accordance with the termination date, the Company settled a cross-currency swap designated as a cash 
flow hedge of an intercompany loan with an aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million. The gain recorded by the Company 
upon the settlement of the swap was not material for the period.

On October 2, 2020 in accordance with the termination date, the Company settled a cross-currency swap designated as a cash 
flow  hedge  of  an  intercompany  loan  with  an  aggregate  notional  amount  of  $33.3  million.  As  a  result  of  the  settlement,  the 
Company recorded a loss of $0.3 million in other income, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

The cross-currency swaps are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, and changes in the fair values are recorded 
as  unrealized  gains  or  losses  in  AOCL.  For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  the  Company  recorded  a  gain  of 
$23.8 million and loss of $21.7 million, respectively, in other income, net related to change in fair value related to the foreign 
currency rate translation to offset the gains or losses recognized on the intercompany loans.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a gain of $24.3 million and a loss of $17.1 million, 
respectively, in AOCL related to change in fair value of the cross-currency swaps.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded gains of $9.1 million and $5.8 million, respectively, 
in other income, net included in the consolidated statements of operations related to the interest rate differential of the cross-
currency swaps. 

The estimated loss that is expected to be reclassified to other income, net from AOCL as of December 31, 2021 within the next 
twelve months is $3.4 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company does not expect any gains or losses will be reclassified 
into  earnings  as  a  result  of  the  discontinuance  of  these  cash  flow  hedges  because  the  original  forecasted  transaction  will  not 
occur.

Net Investment Hedges

The  Company  manages  certain  foreign  exchange  risks  through  a  variety  of  strategies,  including  hedging.  The  Company  is 
exposed  to  foreign  exchange  risk  from  its  international  operations  through  foreign  currency  purchases,  net  investments  in 
foreign subsidiaries, and foreign currency assets and liabilities created in the normal course of business. On October 1, 2018 
and  December  16,  2020,  the  Company  entered  into  cross-currency  swap  agreements  designated  as  net  investment  hedges  to 
partially offset the effects of foreign currency on foreign subsidiaries.

of the settlement, the Company recorded a loss of $7.8 million in AOCL.

The  cross-currency  swaps  were  carried  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheet  at  fair  value  and  changes  in  the  fair  values  were

The estimated gain that is expected to be reclassified to interest income from AOCL as of December 31, 2021 within the next 
twelve months is $5.1 million.

Counterparty Credit Risk

The  Company  manages  its  concentration  of  counterparty  credit  risk  on  its  derivative  instruments  by  limiting  acceptable 
counterparties to a group of major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, and by actively monitoring their 
credit  ratings  and  outstanding  positions  on  an  ongoing  basis.  Therefore,  the  Company  considers  the  credit  risk  of  the 
counterparties to be low. Furthermore, none of the Company’s derivative transactions are subject to collateral or other security 
arrangements, and none contain provisions that depend upon the Company’s credit ratings from any credit rating agency.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The  Company  has  classified  all  of  its  derivative  instruments  within  Level  2  of  the  fair  value  hierarchy  because  observable 
inputs are available for substantially the full term of the derivative instruments. The fair values of the interest rate swaps and 
cross-currency swaps were developed using a market approach based on publicly available market yield curves and the terms of 
the swap. The Company performs ongoing assessments of counterparty credit risk.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS 

Goodwill 

The Company tests goodwill for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. 

The  qualitative  evaluation  is  an  assessment  of  factors  including  reporting  unit  specific  operating  results  as  well  as  industry, 
market and general economic conditions, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of a reporting unit is 
less  than  its  carrying  amount,  including  goodwill.  The  Company  may  elect  to  bypass  the  qualitative  assessment  for 
its three reporting units and perform a quantitative test. The assumptions used in evaluating goodwill for impairment are subject 
to change and are tracked against historical results by management. 

The quantitative test estimates the fair value of the three reporting units using a discounted cash flow model, which incorporates 
significant  estimates  and  assumptions  made  by  management  which,  by  their  nature,  are  characterized  by  uncertainty.  Inputs 
used to fair value the Company's reporting units are considered inputs of the fair value hierarchy. For Level 3 measurements, 
significant  increases  or  decreases  in  long-term  growth  rates  or  discount  rates  in  isolation  or  in  combination  could  result  in  a 
significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The key assumptions impacting the valuation included the following: 

•

•

•

The  reporting  unit's  financial  projections,  which  are  based  on  management's  assessment  of  regional  and 
macroeconomic variables, industry trends and market opportunities, and the Company's strategic objectives and future 
growth plans.

The projected terminal value for the reporting unit, which represents the present value of projected cash flows beyond 
the last period in the discounted cash flow analysis. The terminal value reflects the Company's assumptions related to 
long-term  growth  rates  and  profitability,  which  are  based  on  several  factors,  including  local  and  macroeconomic 
variables, market opportunities, and future growth plans.

The discount rate used to measure the present value of the projected future cash flows is set using a weighted-average 
cost of capital method that considers market and industry data as well as the Company's specific risk factors that are 
likely to be considered by a market participant. The weighted-average cost of capital is the Company's estimate of the 
overall after-tax rate of return required by equity and debt holders of a business enterprise.

During  the  third  quarter  of  2021,  the  Company  elected  to  perform  a  qualitative  analysis  for  its  three  reporting  units.  The 
Company determined, after performing the qualitative analysis, that there was no evidence that it is more likely than not that the 
fair value was less that the carrying amounts, therefore, it was not necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test.

Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives

The Company tests intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the third quarter in accordance with ASC 
Topic  350.  Additionally,  the  Company  may  perform  interim  tests  if  an  event  occurs  or  circumstances  change  that  could 
potentially  reduce  the  fair  value  of  a  indefinite  lived  intangible  asset  below  its  carrying  amount.  The  Company  tests  for 
impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of 
factors, including specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether 
it is more likely than not that the fair values of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The Company may elect to 
bypass this qualitative evaluation and perform a quantitative test. 

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company elected to perform a qualitative analysis for its intangible asset with indefinite 
lives. The Company determined, after performing the qualitative analysis, that there was no evidence that it is more likely than 
not that the fair value was less that the carrying amounts, therefore, it was not necessary to perform a quantitative impairment 
test.

Product rights and other definite-lived intangible assets are tested periodically for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 
360 when events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset's carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment 
testing involves comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows. In 
the  event  the  carrying  value  of  the  asset  exceeds  the  undiscounted  future  cash  flows,  the  carrying  value  is  considered  not 
recoverable  and  impairment  exists.  An  impairment  loss  is  measured  as  the  excess  of  the  asset's  carrying  value  over  its  fair 
value,  calculated  using  discounted  future  cash  flows.  The  computed  impairment  loss  is  recognized  in  the  period  that  the 
impairment occurs.

Amortization expense (including amounts reported in cost of product revenues) for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 
and 2019 was $83.3 million, $74.5 million and $72.8 million, respectively. 

Annual amortization expense is expected to approximate $79.1 million in 2022, $78.4 million in 2023, $77.7 million in 2024, 
$77.7  million  in  2025,  $77.6  million  in  2026  and  $585.8  million  thereafter.  Amortization  of  product  technology  based 
intangible assets totaled $66.5 million, $46.7 million and $45.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, 
respectively, and is presented by the Company within cost of goods sold.

8. TREASURY STOCK

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 4.9 million shares of treasury stock outstanding with a cost of $234.4 million 
and $235.1 million, respectively, at a weighted average cost per share of $47.86.

On  December  7,  2020,  the  Board  of  Directors  authorized  the  Company  to  repurchase  up  to  $225  million  of  the  Company’s 
common stock. The program allows the Company to repurchase its shares opportunistically from time to time. The repurchase 
authorization expires in December 2022. The price and timing of any future purchases under the share repurchase program will 
depend on factors such as levels of cash generation from operations, the volume of stock option exercises by employees, cash 
requirements  for  acquisitions,  dividends,  economic  and  market  conditions  and  stock  price,  and  such  repurchases  may  be 
discontinued at any time.

F-35

INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021,  there  were  no  repurchases  of  the  Company’s  common  stock  as  part  of  the  share 
repurchase authorization.

On  January  12,  2022,  the  Company  entered  into  a  $125.0  million  accelerated  share  repurchase  ("2022  ASR")  and  received 
1.5  million  shares  of  Company  common  stock  at  inception  of  the  2022  ASR,  which  represented  approximately  80%  of  the 
expected total shares under the 2022 ASR. The remaining 20% of the expected total shares is expected to settle in the first half 
of 2022, upon which additional shares of common stock may be delivered to the Company or, under certain circumstances, the 
Company  may  be  required  to  make  a  cash  payment  or  may  elect  to  deliver  shares  of  our  common  stock  to  the  2022  ASR 
counterparty  in  each  case  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  2022  ASR  agreement  between  the  Company  and  the  2022  ASR 
counterparty. The total number of shares to be delivered or the amount of such payment, as well as the final average price per 
share, will be based on the volume-weighted average price, less a discount, of the Company's common stock during the term of 
the  transaction.  As  a  result  of  this  transaction,  $100  million  remains  available  under  the  $225  million    stock  repurchase 
authorization.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 2.1 million shares of Integra’s common stock 
as part of the previous share repurchase authorization. The Company utilized $100.0 million of net proceeds from the offering 
of the Convertible Senior Notes to execute the share repurchase transactions. This included $7.6 million from certain purchasers 
of  the  convertible  notes  in  conjunction  with  the  closing  of  the  offering.  On  February  5,  2020,  the  Company  entered  into  a 
$92.4 million accelerated share repurchase ("2020 ASR") to complete the remaining $100.0 million of share repurchase. The 
Company received 1.3 million shares at inception of the 2020 ASR, which represented approximately 80% of the expected total 
shares.  Upon  settlement  of  the  2020  ASR  in  June  2020,  the  Company  received  an  additional  0.6  million  shares  determined 
using the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the term of the transaction.

The  purpose  of  the  Employee  Stock  Purchase  Plan  (the  “ESPP”)  is  to  provide  eligible  employees  of  the  Company  with  the 
opportunity to acquire shares of common stock at periodic intervals by means of accumulated payroll deductions. The ESPP is a 
non-compensatory plan. Under the ESPP, a total of 3.0 million shares of common stock are reserved for issuance. These shares 
will be made available either from the Company’s authorized but unissued shares of common stock or from shares of common 
stock reacquired by the Company as treasury stock. At December 31, 2021, 2.0 million shares remain available for purchase 
under the ESPP. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company issued 16,948 shares, 18,284 shares 
and 12,531 shares under the ESPP for $1.1 million, $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. 

EQUITY AWARD PLANS 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had stock options, restricted stock awards, performance stock awards, contract stock 
awards and restricted stock unit awards outstanding under the Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation Fifth Amended and 
Restated  2003  Equity  Incentive  Plan  (the  “2003  Plan”).  The  2000  and  2001  Equity  Incentive  Plans  were  terminated  as  of 
February 19, 2021, and no further awards may be issued under the plans.

In  May  2010  and  May  2017,  the  stockholders  of  the  Company  approved  amendments  to  the  2003  Plan  to  increase  by  3.5 
million  and  1.7  million,  respectively,  the  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  that  may  be  issued  under  the  2003  Plan.  The 
Company  has  reserved  4.0  million  shares  under  each  of  the  2000  Plan  and  the  2001  Plan,  and  14.7  million  shares  under  the 
2003  Plan.  The  Plans  permit  the  Company  to  grant  incentive  and  non-qualified  stock  options,  stock  appreciation  rights,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

restricted  stock,  contract  stock,  performance  stock,  or  dividend  equivalent  rights  to  designated  directors,  officers,  employees 
and associates of the Company. 

Stock options issued under the 2003 Plan became exercisable over specified periods, generally within four years from the date 
of grant for officers and employees, and within one year from the date of the grant for members of the Board of Directors. The 
awards  generally  expire  eight  years  from  the  grant  date  for  employees  and  from  six  to  ten  years  for  directors  and  certain 
executive officers, except in certain instances that result in accelerated vesting due to death, disability, retirement age or change 
in  control  provisions  within  their  grant  agreements.  Restricted  stock  issued  under  the  2003  Plan  vests  ratably  over  specified 
periods, generally three years after the date of grant. The vesting of performance stock issued under the 2003 Plan is subject to 
service and performance conditions.

Stock Options 

The  Company  values  stock  option  grants  using  the  binomial  distribution  model.  Management  believes  that  the  binomial 
distribution model is preferable to the Black-Scholes model because it is a more flexible model that gives consideration to the 
impact of non-transferability and vesting provisions in valuing employee stock options. 

In determining the value of stock options granted, the Company considered that it has never paid cash dividends and does not 
currently  intend  to  pay  cash  dividends,  and  thus  has  assumed  a  0%  dividend  yield.  Expected  volatilities  are  based  on  the 
historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The expected life of stock options is estimated based on historical data on 
exercise of stock options, post-vesting forfeitures and other factors to estimate the expected term of the stock options granted. 
The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant for instruments with a 
remaining term similar to the expected life of the options. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. 

The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the calculation of fair value:

Dividend yield

Risk free interest rate

Expected life of option from grant date

ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The total fair market value of shares vested and released in 2021, 2020 
and 2019 was $15.7 million, $17.3 million and $21.1 million, respectively. Vested awards include shares that have been fully 
earned but had not been delivered as of December 31, 2021. 

Performance  stock  awards  have  performance  features  associated  with  them.  Performance  stock,  restricted  stock  and  contract 
stock  awards  generally  have  requisite  service  periods  of  three  years.  The  fair  value  of  these  awards  is  being  expensed  on  a 
straight-line basis over the vesting period. 

As of December 31, 2021, there was approximately $21.1 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested 
restricted  stock,  performance  stock  and  contract  stock  awards.  These  costs  are  expected  to  be  recognized  over  a  weighted-
average period of approximately two years. 

As  of  December  31,  2021,  there  were  approximately  0.5  million  vested  Restricted  Units  and  0.1  million  vested  performance 
share  units  held  by  various  employees  for  which  the  related  shares  have  not  yet  been  issued.  The  final  determination  of  the 
number  of  shares  to  be  issued  is  made  by  the  Company's  Compensation  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors  which  is 
contingent upon achieving certain revenue and organic revenue growth performance metric.

At December 31, 2021, there were approximately 3.5 million shares available for grant under the 2003 Plan.

The Company capitalized into inventory, share based compensation costs of $0.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the 
years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Such share-based compensation was recognized as cost of goods 
sold when related inventory was sold.

The following weighted average assumptions were used to develop net periodic pension benefit costs and the actuarial present 
values of projected pension benefit obligations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively:

Discount rate

The  Company’s  discount  rates  are  determined  by  considering  current  yield  curves  representing  high  quality,  long-term  fixed 
income  instruments.  The  resulting  discount  rates  are  consistent  with  the  duration  of  plan  liabilities.  In  2021  and  2020,  the 
discount  rates  were  prescribed  as  the  current  yield  on  corporate  bonds  with  an  average  rating  of  AA  or  AAA  of  equivalent 
currency  and  term  to  the  liabilities.  The  expected  returns  on  plan  assets  represent  the  average  rate  of  return  expected  to  be 
earned on plan assets over the period the benefits included in the benefit obligation are to be paid. In developing the expected 
rates of return, the Company considers returns of historical market data as well as actual returns on the plan assets. Using this 
reference  information,  the  long-term  return  expectations  for  each  asset  category  are  developed  according  to  the  allocation 
among those investment categories.

The assessment is determined using projections from external financial sources, long-term historical averages, actual returns by 
asset class and the various asset class allocations by market.

The unfunded benefit obligations are included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2021 and 
2020, respectively. 

During  the  periods  ended  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  the  Company  had  a  net  gain  of  $7.0  million  and  $4.6  million, 
respectively,  recognized  within  accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss  that  has  not  been  recognized  as  a  component  of  net 
periodic benefit cost. The gain recognized during the period ended December 31, 2021, is primarily attributed to a change in the 
discount  rate  used  to  estimate  the  projected  benefit  obligation  for  defined  benefit  plans  which  cover  certain  employees  in 
Switzerland. The combined accumulated benefit obligations for the defined benefit plans was $60.3 million and $61.5 million 
as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 

Unrecognized gains and losses are amortized over the average remaining future service for each plan. For plans with no active 
employees, they are amortized over the average life expectancy. The amortization of gains and losses is determined by using a 
10% corridor of the greater of the market value of assets or the accumulated benefit obligation. Total unamortized gains and 
losses in excess of the corridor are amortized over the average remaining future service.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Prior service costs/benefits for the pension plans are amortized over the average remaining future service of plan participants at 
the time of the plan amendment.

The net plan assets of the pension plans are invested in common trusts. Common trusts are classified as Level 2 in fair value 
hierarchy. The fair value of common trusts is valued at net asset value based on the fair values of the underlying investments of 
the trusts as determined by the sponsor of the trusts. The investment strategy of the Company's defined benefit plans is both to 
meet the liabilities of the plans as they fall due and to maximize the return on invested assets within appropriate risk profile.

The benefit plans in France and Germany had no assets at December 31, 2021. 

As of December 31, 2021, no plan assets are expected to be returned to the Company in the next twelve months.

As of December 31, 2021, contributions expected to be paid to the plan in 2022 is $2.3 million. 

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS 

The Company also has various defined contribution savings plans that cover substantially all employees in the United States, 
Belgium, Canada, France, Japan, Netherlands, the U.K. and Puerto Rico. The Company matches a certain percentage of each 
employee’s contributions as per the provisions of the plans. Total contributions by the Company to the plans were $8.8 million, 
$6.7 million and $8.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

The Company maintains a Deferred Compensation Plan in which certain employees of the Company may defer the payment 
and taxation of up to 75% of their base salary and up to 100% of bonus amounts and other eligible cash compensation.

During  the  first  quarter  of  2020,  employees  participating  in  the  Company's  deferred  compensation  plan  began  to  defer  their 
compensation.  This  deferred  compensation  is  invested  in  funds  offered  under  this  plan  and  is  valued  based  on  Level  1 
measurements in the fair value hierarchy. Assets of the Company's deferred compensation plan are included in Other current 
assets and recorded at fair value based on their quoted market prices. The fair value of these assets at December 31, 2021 and 
2020 was $3.8 million and $2.0 million. Offsetting liabilities relating to the deferred compensation plan are included in Other 
liabilities.

11. LEASES AND RELATED PARTY LEASES

The  Company  leases  administrative,  manufacturing,  research  and  distribution  facilities  and  vehicles  through  operating  lease 
agreements. The Company has no finance leases as of December 31, 2021. Many of the Company's leases include both lease 
(e.g., fixed payments including rent) and non-lease components (e.g., common-area or other maintenance costs). For vehicles, 
the Company has elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components. 

Most facility leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at the Company's 
sole  discretion,  therefore,  the  majority  of  renewals  to  extend  the  lease  terms  are  not  included  in  the  ROU  assets  and  lease 
liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company regularly evaluates renewal options and when they are 
reasonably certain of exercise, the renewal period is included in the lease term.

As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses a collateralized incremental borrowing rate 
based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. 

Total  operating  lease  expense  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021  and  December  31,  2020,  was  $20.3  million  and  $19.7 
million, respectively, which includes $0.3 million, in related party operating lease expense.

Related Party Leases 

The Company leases its manufacturing facility in Plainsboro, New Jersey, from a general partnership that is 50% owned by a 
corporation whose stockholders are trusts, whose beneficiaries include family members of the Company’s principal stockholder 
and former director. The term of the current lease agreement is through October 31, 2029 at an annual rate of approximately 
$0.3 million per year. The current lease agreement also provides (i) a 5-year renewal option for the Company to extend the lease 
from November 1, 2029 through October 31, 2034 at the fair market rental rate of the premises, and (ii) another 5-year renewal 
option to extend the lease from November 1, 2034 through October 31, 2039 at the fair market rental rate of the premises.

December 31, 2020, respectively. In 2021, the Company's higher effective tax rate was driven in part by an $8.5 million income 
tax  expense  for  nondeductible  goodwill  related  to  the  sale  of  the  Extremity  Orthopedics  business,  offset  by  a  $3.1  million 
income tax benefit related to excess tax benefits from stock compensation. In 2020, the Company’s lower worldwide effective 
tax rate was primarily driven by an $59.2 million income tax benefit on an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property, 
substantially completed during the fourth quarter in 2020. Excluding this transaction, the effective worldwide tax rate for 2020 
was 20.2%.

INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

In  December  2020,  the  Company  completed  an  intra-entity  transfer  of  certain  intellectual  property  rights  to  one  of  its 
subsidiaries in Switzerland. While the transfer did not result in a taxable gain, the Company’s Swiss subsidiary received a step-
up in tax basis based on the fair value of the transferred intellectual property rights. The Company determined the fair value 
using a discounted cash flow model based on expectations of revenue growth rates, royalty rates, discount rates, and useful lives 
of  the  intellectual  property.  The  Company  recorded  a  $59.2  million  deferred  tax  benefit  in  Switzerland  related  to  the 
amortizable tax basis in the transferred intellectual property.

During 2021, the Company’s foreign operations generated a $63.6 million increase in income tax expense when compared to 
the same period in 2020, because of the intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property in 2020, geographic and business 
mix of taxable earnings and losses, among other factors. The 2021 foreign effective tax rate is 15.2%, compared to (57.1)% in 
2020. The Company’s foreign tax rate is primarily based upon statutory rates and is also impacted by the intra-entity transfer of 
certain intellectual property as described above for 2020.

During 2020, the Company’s foreign operations generated a $48.2 million decrease in income tax expense when compared to 
the same period in 2019 due to the intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property, geographic and business mix of taxable 
earnings  and  losses,  among  other  factors.  The  2020  foreign  effective  tax  rate  is  (57.1)%,  compared  to  3.5%  in  2019.    The 
Company’s foreign tax rate is primarily based upon statutory rates and is also impacted by the intra-entity transfer of certain 
intellectual property as described above for 2020. During 2019, the Company finalized negotiations related to tax holidays in 
Switzerland, on a federal, cantonal, and communal level. The Company received a federal tax credit in Switzerland of $12.1 
million ($0.14 per share), which may be used over a seven-year period, ending in 2024. The Company also received a reduction 
in its rate for the cantonal and communal level taxes during the third quarter of 2019, pursuant to tax reform in Switzerland. 

Changes to income tax laws and regulations, in any of the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, could impact the 
effective tax rate.  Various governments, both U.S. and non-U.S., are increasingly focused on tax reform and revenue-raising 
legislation.    The  current  U.S.  administration  has  proposed  tax  reform  which,  if  enacted,  may  increase  the  Company’s  U.S. 
federal income tax  liability.  Further, legislation in foreign jurisdictions may be enacted, in response to the base erosion and 
profit-sharing (BEPS) project begun by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).  The OECD 
recently finalized major reform of the international tax system with respect to implementing a global minimum tax rate.  Such 
changes in U.S. and Non-U.S. jurisdictions could have an adverse effect on the Company’s effective tax rate.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $71.7 million for federal income tax purposes, 
$26.6 million for foreign income tax purposes and $39.0 million for state income tax purposes to offset future taxable income. 
The majority of the federal net operating loss carryforwards expire through 2037, while $4.1 million have an indefinite carry 
forward  period.  For  foreign  net  operating  loss  carryforwards,  the  remaining  $26.6  million  have  an  indefinite  carry  forward 
period. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire through 2036. 

The valuation allowance relates to deferred tax assets for certain items that will be deductible for income tax purposes under 
very  limited  circumstances  and  for  which  the  Company  believes  it  will  not  satisfy  the  more  likely  than  not  threshold  for 
realization of the associated tax benefit. In the event that the Company determines that it would be able to realize more or less 
than  the  recorded  amount  of  net  deferred  tax  assets,  an  adjustment  to  the  deferred  tax  asset  valuation  allowance  would  be 
recorded in the period such a determination is made. 

The Company’s valuation allowance decreased by less than $0.1 million, increased by less than $0.1 million and increased by 
$2.9 million at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The 2021 and 2020 valuation allowance primarily remained 
unchanged from the prior period. 

As  of  December  31,  2021,  the  Company  has  not  provided  deferred  income  taxes  on  unrepatriated  earnings  from  foreign 
subsidiaries as they are deemed to be indefinitely reinvested unless there is a manner under which to remit the earnings with no 
material tax cost. Material taxes would primarily be attributable to foreign withholding taxes and local income taxes when such 
earnings are distributed. The Company will repatriate foreign earnings when there is no need for reinvestment overseas and no 
material tax cost to bring the earnings back to the United States. Reinvestment considerations would include future acquisitions, 
transactions, and capital expenditure plans. As such, the Company has determined the tax impact of repatriating these earnings 
would not be material as of December 31, 2021. The Company does not anticipate the need to repatriate earnings from foreign 
subsidiaries as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Approximately $0.7 million of the balance at December 31, 2021 relates to uncertain tax positions that, if recognized, would 
affect the annual effective tax rate. There are no amounts within the balance of uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2021 
related  to  tax  positions  for  which  it  is  reasonably  possible  that  the  amounts  could  be  reduced  during  the  twelve  months 
following December 31, 2021.

The  Company  recognizes  interest  and  penalties  relating  to  uncertain  tax  positions  in  income  tax  expense.  The  Company 
recognized a minimal benefit for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The Company had minimal interest and 
penalties accrued for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019. 

The  Company  files  Federal  income  tax  returns,  as  well  as  multiple  state,  local  and  foreign  jurisdiction  tax  returns.  The 
Company  is  no  longer  subject  to  examinations  of  its  U.S.  consolidated  Federal  income  tax  returns  by  the  IRS  through  fiscal 
year 2017. All significant state and local matters have been concluded through fiscal 2015. All significant foreign matters have 
been settled through fiscal 2012.

Common stock of approximately 0.1 million and 0.3 million shares at December 31, 2021, and 2020 that are issuable through 
exercise of dilutive securities, respectively, and were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because 
their effect would have been anti-dilutive. 

Performance  Shares  and  Restricted  Units  that  entitle  the  holders  to  approximately  0.5  million  shares  of  common  stock  are 
included in the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding calculation from their date of issuance because no further 
consideration is due related to the issuance of the underlying common shares.

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021,  the  Company  reclassified  a  gain  of  $25.3  million  and  a  loss  of  $12.2  million  from 
accumulated other comprehensive loss to other income, net and interest income, respectively.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In consideration for certain technology, manufacturing, distribution, and selling rights and licenses granted to the Company, the 
Company has agreed to pay royalties on sales of certain products that it sells. The royalty payments that the Company made 
under these agreements were not significant for any of the periods presented.

The  Company  is  subject  to  various  claims,  lawsuits  and  proceedings  in  the  ordinary  course  of  the  Company's  business, 
including  claims  by  current  or  former  employees,  distributors  and  competitors  and  with  respect  to  its  products  and  product 
liability claims, lawsuits and proceedings, some of which have been settled by the Company. In the opinion of management, 
such  claims  are  either  adequately  covered  by  insurance  or  otherwise  indemnified,  or  are  not  expected,  individually  or  in  the 
aggregate,  to  result  in  a  material,  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  financial  condition.  However,  it  is  possible  that  the 
Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows in a particular period could be materially affected by these 
contingencies.

The Company accrues for loss contingencies when it is deemed probable that a loss has been incurred and that loss is estimable. 
The  amounts  accrued  are  based  on  the  full  amount  of  the  estimated  loss  before  considering  insurance  proceeds  and  do  not 
include an estimate for legal fees expected to be incurred in connection with the loss contingency. The Company consistently 
accrues legal fees expected to be incurred in connection with loss contingencies as those fees are incurred by outside counsel as 
a period cost.

Contingent Consideration

The Company determined the fair value of contingent consideration during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021 
and 2020 to reflect the change in estimate, additions, payments, transfers and the time value of money during the period. 

A  reconciliation  of  the  opening  balances  to  the  closing  balances  of  these  Level  3  measurements  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows (in thousands):

Research and development

The  Company  assumed  contingent  consideration  incurred  by  Derma  Sciences,  Inc.  ("Derma  Sciences")  related  to  its 
acquisitions of BioD and the intellectual property related to Medihoney products. The Company accounted for the contingent 
liabilities  by  recording  their  fair  value  on  the  date  of  the  acquisition  based  on  a  probability  weighted  income  approach.  The 
Company has already paid $33.3 million related to the aforementioned contingent liabilities. One contingent milestone remains 
which relates to net sales of Medihoney™ products exceeding certain amounts defined in the agreement between the Company 
and Derma Sciences. The potential maximum undiscounted payment amounts to $3.0 million. The estimated fair value as of 
December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.2 million. 

16. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

The Company internally manages two global reportable segments and reports the results of its businesses to its chief operating 
decision maker. The two reportable segments and their activities are described below.

•

•

The Codman Specialty Surgical segment includes (i) the Neurosurgery business, which sells a full line of products for 
neurosurgery  and  neuro  critical  care  such  as  tissue  ablation  equipment,  dural  repair  products,  cerebral  spinal  fluid 
management devices, intracranial monitoring equipment, and cranial stabilization equipment and (ii) the Instruments 
business,  which  sells  more  than  40,000  instrument  patterns  and  surgical  and  lighting  products  to  hospitals,  surgery 
centers, dental, podiatry, and veterinary offices.

The Tissue Technologies segment includes such offerings as skin and wound repair, plastics & surgical reconstruction 
products, bone grafts, and nerve and tendon repair products. In conjunction with the sale of the Extremity Orthopedics 
business,  the  Company  rebranded  the  Orthopedics  and  Tissue  Technologies  segment  as  Tissue  Technologies  in  the 
first quarter of 2021.

The Corporate and other category includes (i) various executive, finance, human resource, information systems and legal 
functions, (ii) brand management, and (iii) share-based compensation costs.

The operating results of the various reportable segments as presented are not comparable to one another because (i) certain 
operating segments are more dependent than others on corporate functions for unallocated general and administrative and/or 
operational manufacturing functions, and (ii) the Company does not allocate certain manufacturing costs and general and 
administrative costs to the operating segment results. Net sales and profit by reportable segment for the years ended 
December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

Integra  is  committed  to  doing  our  part  to 
help  surgeons  limit  uncertainty,  so  they 
can  continue to make the right decisions to 
improve patient care. 

The  company  was  founded  on  pioneering 
technology  to  treat  burn  victims.  Since 
then,  we  have  broadened  our  portfolio  of 
life-saving  products  and 
innovative  and 
technologies  to  repair  soft  tissue,  control 
cerebrospinal  fluid,  monitor  traumatic  brain 
injuries, and treat acute and chronic wounds. 

technologies  have 
Our  products  and 
been  developed 
in  collaboration  with 
industry-leading  clinicians  and  health  care 
professionals,  collecting  data  or  clinical 
evidence  to  make  these  products  and 
procedures even better for surgeons. 

Today,  Integra  products  have  attained  a  
place  of  prominence  in  hospital  settings  
and health care facilities around the world. 

PROVIDING MORE CHOICES 
FOR BETTER SURGICAL 
OUTCOMES

No  wound,  patient,  or  surgical  experience  is  the  same. 
Complex  wounds  represent  a  substantial  burden  on  the 
health  care  industry  with  annual  costs  in  the  U.S.  alone 
estimated  at  $25 billion  across  more  than  6.5  million 
patients.1  These  wounds  are  often  multifaceted,  making 
treatment  tremendously  difficult  for  surgeons  who  need 
choices for their patients.

Last  year,  Integra  completed  the  acquisition  of  ACell, 
in  a 
a  regenerative  medicine  company  specializing 
technology platform derived from porcine urinary bladder 
extracellular matrix for the reconstruction of soft tissue.

The  addition  of  the  porcine  urinary  bladder  matrix 
technology,  which  includes  MicroMatrix®  Powder,  Cytal® 
Wound/Burn  Matrix  and  Gentrix®  Surgical  Matrix,  allows 

MicroMatrix Powder

Cytal Wound/Burn Matrix

us to offer health care professionals the broadest portfolio 
of wound management solutions to address a full spectrum 
of  needs  in  managing  complex  wounds.  In  addition,  we 
expanded  our  offering  for  the  surgical  management  of 
complex hernia repair.  

Cytal  Wound/Burn  Matrix  and  MicroMatrix  Powder  can 
be  used  for  a  broad  range  of  complex  wound  procedures, 
including  acute  and  traumatic  wounds,  second-degree 
burns, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers and pressure 
ulcers.

Gentrix  Surgical  Matrix  is  intended  for  implantation  to 
reinforce  soft  tissue  where  weakness  exists  in  patients 
requiring  gastroenterological  or  plastic  and  reconstructive 
surgery. The portfolio has products that can be used to treat 
patients with complex hernias, through both open and lap 
approaches, as well as hiatal hernias.

Dr.  Moses  Shieh,  a  general  and  bariatric  surgeon  at  the 
Surgical Healing Arts Center in Fort Myers, Fla., has found 
success  using  Gentrix.  “Other  grafts,  including  biological 
grafts, get snagged on the trocars, which sometimes leads 
to significant graft tearing,” said Dr. Shieh. “Gentrix slides 
down  smoothly  and  handles  its  shape  well  when  used  in 
laparoscopic surgery or minimally invasive surgery, resulting 
in better surgical outcomes for the patient.”

The  addition  of  the  porcine  technology  establishes  four 
platforms  that  Integra  can  offer  clinicians  to  address  the 
widest  range  of  soft  tissue  reconstructive  needs.  We  are 
particularly eager to conduct research to pursue what some 
of  these  platforms  can  do  in  combination  with  our  other 
tissue technologies.

TRANSFORMING  
THE STANDARD OF CARE

The Aurora® Surgiscope® System is a novel and proprietary 
minimally  invasive  surgical  (MIS)  solution  with  integrated 
visualization and surgical capabilities, designed specifically 
for use in neurosurgery. The Aurora platform, which consists 
of  a  Surgiscope  and  evacuation  device,  combined  with 
imaging  and  illumination  capabilities,  has  the  potential 
to  redefine  the  standard  of  care  in  the  treatment  of 
intracerebral  hemorrhage  (ICH).    Moreover,  the  integrated 
light  source  and  camera  fit  directly  into  the  platform’s 
access sheath and can replace numerous complex systems 
with a simple, easy-to-use, disposable solution. Put simply, 
Aurora  provides superior visualization for the surgeon while 
removing complexity and cost from the operating room. 

To  develop  the  market  in  this  space,  the  most  crucial 
element  is  clinical  evidence.  We  are  pursuing  a  three-
pronged approach to generating evidence. First, we began 
with  a  phased  market  release  of  the  Aurora  Surgiscope  to 
generate  clinical  evidence  and  to  gain  insights  that  can   
inform market adoption and  transform  care  protocols.  We 
also  launched  our  MIRROR  registry  in  the  U.S.  to  collect 
data on the use of Aurora for early surgical intervention in 
the treatment of ICH. Lastly, a multi-center trial funded by 
the Australian government called EVACUATE is currently in 
progress.  This  clinical  study  will  investigate  the  impact  of 
early intervention using MIS on creating positive outcomes 
for ICH patients.

“In  the  EVACUATE  trial,  we’re  aiming  to  have  a  minimally 
invasive  surgical  approach  performed  ultra-early,”  said  Dr. 
Bruce  Campbell,  professor,  neurologist  and  head  of  stroke 
for the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia, and one of the 
principal  investigators  of  the  EVACUATE  trial.  “We  believe 
that can be a successful treatment approach for intracerebral 
hemorrhage.” 

Intracerebral  hemorrhage 
is  the  second-most-common 
subtype  of  stroke  and  usually  leads  to  severe  disability  or 
death. The case fatality rate of ICH is high – 40% at one month 
and 54% at one year – and only 12 to 39%  of survivors can 
achieve  long-term  functional  independence.  ICH  accounts 
for approximately 10 to 20% of all strokes1,2 globally and 8 to 
15% in western countries like the U.S., U.K. and Australia.3,4  
Studies show that minimally invasive ICH surgery results in 
better outcomes because of shorter hospital stays and lower 
cost of care compared to standard, medically managed ICH 
treatment.5 

The EVACUATE trial will run at 15 sites across Australia and 
aims to recruit between 240 to 434 patients over the next few 
years. Integra LifeSciences will supply the Aurora Surgiscope 
devices and evacuators for use in the trial.

IMPROVING  
CLINICAL OUTCOMES

Measuring clinical outcomes has many benefits, including 
enabling surgeons to make better decisions on patient care 
and  helping  patients  make  informed  choices  about  their 
health.

In  2021,  the  results  of  a  study  to  evaluate  the  safety  and 
efficacy of PriMatrix® Dermal Repair Scaffold plus standard 
of care (SOC) for treating hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers 
(DFUs) was published in the Journal of Wound Care.

The  study  was  one  of  the  largest  randomized,  controlled 
trials on DFU ever completed, with more than 100 patients 
per treatment group. The trial demonstrated that in most 
cases, one application of PriMatrix plus SOC healed 60% 
of DFUs in 12 weeks versus 35% of DFUs that healed in 12 
weeks with SOC for the per protocol analysis.

Diabetic  foot  ulceration  is  a  major  health  and  economic 
problem  that  significantly  impacts  both  patients  and 
the  health  care  system.  According  to  the  2020  National 
Diabetes  Statistics  Report,  34.2  million  Americans 
have  diabetes.1  Estimates  suggest  that  as  many  as  15% 
of  patients  with  diabetes  may  develop  a  DFU  in  their 
lifetime.2,3 Sadly, an estimated 40% of patients with DFUs 
experience  a  recurrence  within  one  year  and  65%  within 
five years, with 15% of patients undergoing an amputation 
during a 10-year follow-up period.4 

“The hallmark of this study, which was designed to prove 
the  clinical  efficacy  and  safety  of  PriMatrix  in  managing 
DFUs,  was  that  PriMatrix  demonstrated  statistically 
results 
and,  most 

importantly,  clinically  significant 

against  standard  of  care,”  said  John  Lantis,  M.D.,  FACS, 
principal investigator, professor and site chief of surgery, 
Mount  Sinai  West  Hospital,  Icahn  School  of  Medicine. 
“The  differentiating  result  is  that,  in  most  cases,  only 
one  application  of  PriMatrix  is  needed,  underscoring 
the  potential  cost-effectiveness  of  using  PriMatrix  in 
managing DFUs.”

PriMatrix  is  a  unique  scaffold  for  the  management  of 
wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers. Derived from fetal 
bovine dermis, this novel acellular dermal matrix provides 
an  ideal  environment  to  support  cellular  repopulation 
and revascularization processes critical in wound healing. 
PriMatrix is particularly rich in Type III collagen, a collagen 
found  in  fetal  dermis  that  is  active  in  developing  and 
healing tissues.

This  prospective,  multi-center,  randomized,  controlled 
trial  of  226  patients  with  chronic  DFUs  used  a  2-week 
run-in  period,  a  12-week  treatment  phase,  and  a  4-week 
follow-up  phase  to  determine  the  safety  and  efficacy  of 
PriMatrix  Dermal  Repair  Scaffold  plus  SOC  compared  to 
SOC only. (SOC consisted of sharp debridement, infection 
elimination, use of dressings and offloading.) 

The results of the study showed patients receiving PriMatrix 
were significantly more likely to achieve complete wound 
closure  compared  with  SOC  with  a  median  number  of 
one  application  of  the  product.  The  study  conclusion 
states, “These results indicate that in many cases, a single 
application  of  PriMatrix  in  conjunction  with  SOC  offers 
a  safe,  faster  and  more  effective  treatment  of  DFUs  than 
SOC alone.”
