Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Period Ended March 31, 2019
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) (“GAAP”) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, needed to fairly present the financial results of Surmodics, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Surmodics” or the “Company”) for the periods presented. These financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. These estimates may be adjusted as more information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant. The impact of any change in estimates is included in the determination of net income (loss) in the period in which the change in estimate is identified. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire 2019 fiscal year.
In accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company has omitted footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on November 30, 2018.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) issued Update No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”)
. The core principal of ASC Topic 606 is to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, as well as significant judgements and changes in judgements, which are described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 using the modified retrospective method and applied the new revenue standard to all new customer contracts initiated on or after the effective date and contracts which had remaining performance obligations as of the effective date.
The adoption of ASC Topic 606 resulted in an acceleration of minimum license fees and sales-based royalty revenue earned under the Company’s hydrophilic coating technology license agreements by approximately one quarter. Prior to the adoption of ASC Topic 606, sales-based royalties were recognized in the period the Company’s customers reported the underlying sales, which is generally one quarter after the sales occurred. Additionally, minimum royalties were recognized in the period they were contractually owed to the Company. Upon adoption of ASC Topic 606, sales-based royalties are recognized in the period the underlying customer sale occurs, while the minimum royalties are recognized at each renewal of the license contract, which generally occurs on the last day of the quarter for minimum royalties contractually due in the following quarter.
The adoption of ASC Topic 606 resulted in cumulative-effect adjustments to opening retained earnings, contract assets, deferred tax assets and income tax receivable.

The impact of the adoption of ASC Topic 606 on the opening consolidated balance sheet as of October 1, 2018, as compared with the consolidated balance sheet previously reported as of September 30, 2018, was as follows:

The impact of adoption of ASC Topic 606 to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for three and six months ended March 31, 2019 was an increase of royalty and license fee revenue of $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, as well as reduced income tax benefit of less than $0.1 million for each period.
Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2016-02,
Leases (ASC Topic 842)
. The new guidance primarily affects lessee accounting, while accounting by lessors will not be significantly impacted by the update. The update maintains two classifications of leases: finance leases, which replace capital leases, and operating leases. Lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the statement of financial position for those leases previously classified as operating leases under the old guidance. The liability will be equal to the present value of remaining contractual lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for direct costs. The accounting standard will be effective for the Company beginning the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 (October 1, 2019) and will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position. The Company believes the impact will be material due to the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that will be recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets upon adoption of the standard.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No 2016-13,
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements
. This ASU requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at an amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The accounting standard will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 (October 1, 2020). Early adoption is permitted and the guidance will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective has had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Revenue
Effective October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606 using the modified retrospective adoption method.
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
The following tables presents our revenues disaggregated by product classification and by operating segment, excluding sales taxes collected and remitted to governmental authorities (in thousands, unaudited).

Performance Obligations
The Company derives its revenue from three primary sources: (1) product revenues from the sale of reagent chemicals to licensees, the sale of stabilization products, antigens, substrates and surface coatings to the diagnostic and biomedical research markets as well as the sale of medical devices and related products (such as balloons and catheters) to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) suppliers and distributors; (2) royalties and license fees from licensing our proprietary surface modification and device drug delivery technologies to customers; and (3) research and commercial development fees generated on customer projects.
The Company recognizes revenue when control is transferred to the customer. The transfer of control varies by revenue classification and is described below.
Product sales
– Revenue from product sales is recognized at the point in time control of the products is transferred, generally upon shipment based upon the standard contract terms.
Shipping and handling activities are considered to be fulfillment activities rather than promised services and are not, therefore, considered to be separate performance obligations.
The Company’s sales terms provide no right of return outside of a standard warranty policy and returns are generally not significant. Payment terms for product sales are generally set at 30-45 days after the consideration becomes due and payable.
Royalties
–
Royalty revenue consists of sales-based and recurring minimum royalties earned under licenses of our surface modification technologies. Performance obligations under these licenses, which consist of the right to use the Company’s proprietary technology, are satisfied
at a point in time corresponding with
delivery of the underlying technology rights to the customer, which is generally upon transfer of the licensed technology to the customer. Sales-based royalty revenue represents variable consideration under the license agreements and is recognized in the period a customer sells products incorporating the Company’s licensed technologies. The Company estimates sales-based royalty revenue earned but unpaid at each reporting period using the expected value method based on historical sales information, adjusted for known changes such as product launches and patent expirations. The Company's license arrangements also often provide for recurring fees (minimum royalties) which the Company recognizes at the later of the satisfaction of the underlying performance obligation or upon renewal of the contract, which is generally done on a quarterly basis. Sales-based and minimum royalties are generally due within 45 days of the end of each quarter.
License fees
–
For distinct license performance obligations, upfront license fees are recognized when the Company satisfies the underlying performance obligation. This generally occurs upon transfer of the right to use the Company’s licensed technology to the customer, with the exception of the license of the Company’s SurVeil® drug-coated balloon (the “
SurVeil
DCB”) disclosed below and in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain license arrangements include contingent milestone payments,
10
which are due following achievement by our cu
stomers of specified sales or regulatory milestones. Contingent milestone payment terms vary by contract. The Company has generally fulfilled its performance obligation prior to achievement of these milestones. However, because of the uncertainty of the mi
lestone achievement, and/or the dependence on sales of our customers, variable consideration for contingent milestones is fully constrained and excluded from the contract price until the milestone is achieved by our customer, to the extent collectability i
s reasonably certain.
Pursuant to the terms of the collaborative arrangement contract with Abbott Vascular, Inc. (“Abbott”) disclosed in Note 3 (the “Abbott Agreement”), the Company received an upfront payment of $25 million in fiscal 2018. To the extent the Company achieves certain agreed-upon
clinical and regulatory milestones, the Company
may receive up to $67 million of additional milestone payments
. The performance obligation identified in this arrangement includes delivery of our licensed technology and completion of research and development activities, primarily clinical trial activities (together, “R&D and Clinical Activities”). These promises are not distinct performance obligations because the product necessary for completion of the R&D and Clinical Activities is currently only able to be manufactured by the Company
due to the exclusive proprietary know-how and certain regulatory requirements associated with the manufacture of the product.
The customer (Abbott) simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the R&D and Clinical Activities as study data are generated to support regulatory approval submissions. Control is effectively transferred over time as we complete the TRANSCEND clinical study of our
SurVeil
DCB.
Revenue related to this contract is recognized
using the cost-to-cost method which measures progress based on costs incurred to date relative to the expected total cost of the services, as the Company believes this represents a faithful depiction of the satisfaction of its performance obligation.
Use of the cost-to-cost method requires significant estimates including the total cost of the TRANSCEND study, which is expected to be completed over the next six years. Revenue is recorded based on the cost-to-cost completion estimate relative to the transaction price, which is equal to the total upfront fee plus the expected value of the clinical and regulatory milestones. As of March 31, 2019, consideration from the clinical and regulatory milestones has been fully constrained and excluded from the contract price, due to the high level of uncertainty as to the achievement of the underlying regulatory approval(s) and/or clinical milestones. Significant judgment is used to estimate total revenue and cost at completion for this contract.
Research and development
–
The Company performs third-party research and development activities, which are typically charged to customers on a time-and-materials basis. Generally, revenue for research and development is recorded over time as the services are provided to the customer in the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice. These services are generally charged to the customer as they are provided. Payment terms for R&D services are generally set at 30-45 days after the consideration becomes due and payable.
If a contract contains more than one distinct performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling price.
Contract Assets, Deferred Revenue and Remaining Performance Obligations
Contract assets are generally short in duration given the nature of products produced and services provided by the Company.
Contract assets consist of sales-based and minimum royalty revenue earned for which unconditional right to payment does not exist as of the balance sheet date. These assets are comprised of estimated sales-based royalties earned, but not yet reported by the Company’s customers, minimum royalties on non-cancellable contracts, and contingent milestones earned but not yet billable based on the terms of the contract. The increase in contract assets from October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019 resulted primarily from changes in estimated sales-based royalties earned but not collected at each balance sheet date.
The Company records a contract liability, or deferred revenue, when there is an obligation to provide a product or service to the customer and payment is received or due in advance of performance, or when payment is received for a period outside the contract term. The Company’s deferred revenue at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 is primarily related to the upfront payment received pursuant to the Abbott Agreement (Note 3).
Remaining performance obligations include deferred revenue and amounts the Company expects to receive for goods and services that have not yet been delivered or provided under existing, noncancellable contracts. For contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient applicable to such contracts and does not disclose the transaction price for remaining performance obligations at the end of each reporting period and when the Company expects to recognize this revenue. As of March 31, 2019, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied for executed contracts with an original duration of one year or more was approximately $16.7 million. This revenue is entirely related to the R
&D and Clinical Services performance obligation in the Abbott Agreement from the upfront payment received in fiscal 2018 and does not include revenue from potential contingent milestone payments that may be received throughout the course of the agreement
. The Company expects to recognize the remaining revenue from this
11
performance obligation
over the next six years as the services, which are primarily comprised of the TRANSCEND clinical study, are completed.
3. Collaborative Arrangement
Under the Abbott Agreement,
Abbott will have exclusive worldwide commercialization rights for the
SurVeil
DCB to treat the superficial femoral artery, which is currently being evaluated in a U.S. pivotal clinical trial. Separately, Abbott also received options to negotiate agreements for Surmodics' below-the-knee and arteriovenous (AV) fistula DCB products, which are currently in pre-clinical development and a first-in human clinical study, respectively
. Surmodics is responsible for conducting all necessary clinical trials and other activities required to achieve U.S. and European Union regulatory clearances for the
SurVeil
DCB, including completion of the ongoing TRANSCEND clinical trial. Abbott and Surmodics will participate on a joint development committee charged with providing guidance on the Company’s clinical and regulatory activities with regard to the
SurVeil
product.
To account for the Abbott Agreement, the Company applied the guidance in ASC 808 as the parties are active participants and are exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on commercial success of the collaborative activity. The Company has determined that the upfront and milestone payments represent consideration paid in a vendor-customer relationship and has thus applied the guidance in ASC Topic 606 to these payments and the related performance obligations, as further discussed in Note 2. The Company is the principal in the arrangement and the related development costs and the revenue and R&D costs will be reported gross in license fee revenue and research and development costs on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company has received a $25 million upfront fee and may receive up to $67 million of additional payments upon achievement of various clinical and regulatory milestones. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized revenue totaling $1.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively from the Abbott arrangement, all of which was previously included in deferred revenue. For both the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized revenue totaling $0.5 million from the Abbott arrangement. As of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, deferred revenue from the upfront payment received of $16.7 million and $20.6 million, respectively is recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Upon the commercialization of the
SurVeil
DCB, Surmodics will be responsible for the manufacture and supply of clinical and commercial quantities of the product. Revenue from these product sales, including a per-unit transfer price and a share of net profits resulting from third-party sales by Abbott, will be recognized if and when these products are shipped and control is transferred to the customer
.
4. Fair Value Measurements
The accounting guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance is applicable for all financial assets and financial liabilities and for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of nonperformance.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
The Company did not have any Level 1 assets as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
The Company’s Level 2 assets as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 consisted of money market funds, commercial paper instruments and corporate bonds.
12
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.
The Level 3 liability as of March 31, 2019 consisted of contingent consideration obligations related to the fiscal 2016 acquisition of NorMedix, Inc. (“NorMedix”). Level 3 liabilities as of September 30, 2018 consisted of contingent consideration obligations related to the fiscal 2016 acquisitions of Creagh Medical Ltd. (“Creagh Medical”) and NorMedix. Consideration owed to the sellers of Creagh Medical from revenue and value-creating milestones achieved through September 30, 2018 was paid during the six months ended March 31, 2019. Consideration owed to the sellers of NorMedix upon achievement of revenue and value-creating milestones through September 30, 2019, if any, is due to be paid in first quarter of fiscal 2020. Contingent consideration included in current liabilities of $3.0 million and $11.0 million as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, represents the Company’s estimated fair value of amounts expected to be paid within one year of each respective balance sheet date. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company paid contingent consideration obligations related to the Creagh Medical acquisition totaling $11.0 million, including $9.1 million classified as cash flows used in financing activities on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The financing portion of the contingent consideration payment is equal to the acquisition-date value of the contingent consideration obligation, in accordance with ASC 230
Statements of Cash Flows
.
In valuing Level 3 assets and liabilities, the Company is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
In instances where the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between amounts measured using Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 fair value measurements during fiscal 2019 to date, or fiscal 2018.
Valuation Techniques
The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of assets are as follows:
Cash equivalents — These assets are classified as Level 2 and are carried at historical cost which is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the relatively short time between origination of the instrument and its expected realization.
Available-for-sale securities — Fair market values for these assets are based on quoted vendor prices and broker pricing in active markets underlying the securities where all significant inputs are observable. To ensure the accuracy of quoted vendor prices and broker pricing, the Company performs regular reviews of investment returns to industry benchmarks and sample tests of individual securities to validate quoted vendor prices with other available market data.
Contingent consideration obligations — The values of the contingent consideration liabilities were determined based on discounted cash flow analyses that included revenue estimates, probability of strategic milestone achievement and a discount rate, which are considered significant unobservable inputs. For the NorMedix revenue-based milestones, the Company discounted forecasted revenue by 20.5%, which represents the Company’s weighted average cost of capital for this transaction, adjusted for the short-term nature of the cash flows. The present value of forecasted revenue was used as an input into an option pricing approach, which also considered the Company’s risk of non-payment of the NorMedix revenue-based milestones. Non-revenue milestones for the NorMedix acquisition that have not already been achieved were projected to have a 5%-100% probability of achievement and expected payments were discounted using the Company’s estimated cost of debt of 6.0%. To the extent that actual results differ from these estimates, the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities could change significantly during the contingency periods. Accretion expense is recorded as an increase to the contingent consideration liabilities due to the passage of time. Fair
14
value adjustments represent changes in the value of the obligations related to adjustments to forecasted revenue and probability of strategic milestone completion. The contingent consideration liability
related to the Creagh Medical acquisition was denominated in Euros. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are recorded as this obligation is marked to exchange rates at period-end and on the date of settlement.
5. Investments
Investments consisted principally of commercial paper and corporate bond securities and are classified as available-for-sale as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018. These available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, excluded from the
condensed
consolidated statements of operations and reported in the
condensed
consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) as well as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the
condensed
consolidated balance sheets, except for other-than-temporary impairments, which are reported as a charge to current earnings as they occur. A loss would be recognized when there is an other-than-temporary impairment in the fair value of any individual security classified as available-for-sale, with the associated net unrealized loss reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to other income. This adjustment would result in a new cost basis for the investment. Interest earned on debt securities, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is included in investment income, net within other income. Realized gains and losses from the sales of debt securities, which are included in other income, are determined using the specific identification method. Investment purchases are accounted for on the date the trade is executed, which may not be the same as the date the transaction is cash settled.
The amortized cost, unrealized holding gains and losses, and fair value of available-for-sale securities were as follows:

The Company has invested a total of $5.3 million in ViaCyte, Inc. (“ViaCyte”), a privately-held California-based biotechnology firm that is developing a unique treatment for diabetes using coated islet cells, the cells that produce insulin in the human body. The
15
balance of the inve
stment of $0.5 million, which is net of previously recorded other-than-temporary impairments of $4.8 million, is accounted for under the cost method and represents less than a 1% ownership interest. The Company does not exert significant influence over Via
Cyte’s operating or financial activities.
The carrying value of each cost method investment is reviewed quarterly for changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events that suggest the Company’s investment may not be recoverable. The fair value of cost method investments is not adjusted if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a material effect on the fair value of the investment.
8. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist principally of acquired patents and technology, customer lists and relationships, licenses and trademarks. The Company recorded amortization expense of $0.7 million for both the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company recorded amortization expense of $1.3 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Based on the intangible assets in service as of March 31, 2019, excluding any possible future amortization associated with acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), which has not met technological feasibility as of March 31, 2019, estimated amortization expense for the remainder of fiscal 2019 and each of the next five fiscal years is as follows

Future amortization amounts presented above are estimates. Actual future amortization expense may be different as a result of future acquisitions, impairments, completion or abandonment of IPR&D intangible assets, changes in amortization periods, foreign currency translation rates, or other factors.
The Company defines IPR&D as the value of technology acquired for which the related projects have substance and are incomplete. IPR&D acquired in a business acquisition is recognized at fair value and requires the IPR&D to be capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion of the IPR&D project or abandonment. Upon completion of the development project (generally when regulatory approval to market the product is obtained), an impairment assessment is performed prior to amortizing the asset over its estimated useful life. If the IPR&D projects are abandoned, the related IPR&D assets would be written off.
9. Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value assigned to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed in connection with a business acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject, at a minimum, to annual tests for impairment in accordance with accounting guidance for goodwill. The carrying amount of goodwill is evaluated annually, and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired.
Goodwill as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 totaled $26.5 million and $27.0 million, respectively. Goodwill in the Medical Device reporting unit represents the gross value from the fiscal 2016 acquisitions of Creagh Medical and NorMedix. Goodwill in the In Vitro Diagnostics reporting unit represents the gross value from the acquisition of BioFX Laboratories, Inc. (“BioFX”) in fiscal 2007.
Goodwill was not impaired in either reporting unit based on the outcome of the fiscal 2018 annual impairment test, and there have been no events or circumstances that have occurred in the first six months of fiscal 2019 to indicate that goodwill has been impaired.
The change in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment for the six months ended March 31, 2019 was as follows:

As of March 31, 2019, approximately $9.2 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years. The unrecognized compensation costs above include $0.2 million, remaining to be expensed over the life of the awards, based on payout levels associated with performance share awards that are currently anticipated to be fully expensed because the performance conditions are expected to exceed minimum threshold levels.
Stock Option Awards
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted. The weighted average per share fair values of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018
were $18.12 and $9.00, respectively,
and $18.28 and $10.32 during the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively

The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on the U.S. Treasury’s rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the awards. The expected life of options granted was determined based on the Company’s experience. Expected volatility was based on the Company’s stock price movement over a period approximating the expected term. Based on management’s judgment, dividend yields were expected to be 0.0% for the expected life of the options. The Company also estimated forfeitures of options granted, which were based on historical experience.
Non-qualified stock options are granted at fair market value on the date of grant. Non-qualified stock options expire in seven years upon termination of employment or service as a Board member. With respect to members of our Board, non-qualified stock options generally become exercisable on a pro-rata basis within the one-year period following the date of grant. With respect to our employees, non-qualified stock options generally become exercisable with respect to 25% of the shares on each of the first four anniversaries following the grant date. The stock-based compensation table above includes stock option expenses recognized related to these awards, which totaled $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively,
and $1.0 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively
.
The total pre-tax intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was less than $0.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively,
and $0.1 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively
. The intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company’s common stock fair market value on the date of exercise and the option’s exercise price.
Restricted Stock Awards
The Company has entered into restricted stock agreements with certain key employees, covering the issuance of common stock (“Restricted Stock”). Under accounting guidance, these shares are considered to be non-vested shares. The Restricted Stock is released to the key employees if they are employed by the Company at the end of the vesting period. Restricted Stock vesting periods range from one to three years. During the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company awarded 43,713 and 53,455 Restricted Stock shares, respectively, to certain key employees and officers. Forfeiture of 800 and 3,482 Restricted Stock
18
shares occurred during the
six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
As of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, 94,971 and 85
,424 Restricted Stock shares were outstanding, respectively. Compensation expense has been recognized for the estimated fair value of the common shares, net of estimated forfeitures, and is being charged to operating expenses over the vesting term. The sto
ck-based compensation expense table includes Restricted Stock expenses recognized related to these awards, which totaled $0.4 million and $0.3 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018
, respectively,
and $0.8 million and $0.5 million for t
he six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively
.
Performance Share Awards
The Company has entered into performance share agreements with certain key employees covering the issuance of common stock (“Performance Shares”). Performance Shares vest upon the achievement of all or a portion of certain performance objectives (which may include financial or project objectives), which must be achieved during the performance period. The Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) approves the performance objectives used for our executive compensation programs, which objectives were cumulative revenue and cumulative earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the three-year performance periods for awards granted in fiscal 2016 (2016 – 2018) and fiscal 2017 (2017 – 2019). The fiscal 2017 awards also include performance objectives related to achievement of the Company’s strategic initiatives. Assuming that the minimum performance level is attained, the number of shares that may actually vest will vary based on performance from 20% (minimum) to 200% (maximum) of the target number of shares. Shares will be issued to participants as soon as practicable following the end of each performance period, subject to Committee approval and verification of results. Awards granted in fiscal 2016 were finalized in the six months ended March 31, 2019 and resulted in the issuance of 76,396 shares (maximum was 132,676 shares) based on the performance objectives relative to actual results achieved during the performance period. The per share compensation cost for each award is fixed on the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized in each period based on management’s estimate of the achievement level of actual and forecasted results, as appropriate, compared with the specified performance objectives and the related impact on the number of Performance Shares expected to vest. The stock-based compensation expense table includes Performance Shares expense (benefit) recognized related to these awards, which totaled $(0.2) million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018
, respectively,
and
$(0.1) million and $0.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively
.
The fair values of the Performance Shares, at target, were $1.2 million for awards granted in fiscal 2017. There were no Performance Share awards granted in fiscal 2018 and none, to date, in fiscal 2019.
The aggregate number of shares that could be awarded to our executives if the minimum, target and maximum performance goals are met, based on the fair value at the date of grant is as follows as of March 31, 2019:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Stock Purchase Plan”), the Company is authorized to issue up to 600,000 shares of common stock. All full-time and part-time U.S. employees can choose to have up to 10% of their annual compensation withheld, with a limit of $25,000, to purchase the Company’s common stock at purchase prices defined within the provisions of the Stock Purchase Plan. As of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, there was $0.1 million of employee contributions included in accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Stock compensation expense recognized related to the Stock Purchase Plan for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 totaled less than $0.1 million in each respective period. The stock-based compensation table includes the Stock Purchase Plan expenses.
Restricted Stock and Deferred Stock Units
During the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company awarded 11,871 and 21,265 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively, to non-employee directors and certain key employees in foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, 62,420 and 60,440 RSUs were outstanding, respectively. RSU awards are not considered issued or outstanding common stock of the Company until they vest. Compensation expense has been recognized for the estimated fair value of the common shares and is being charged to operating expenses over the vesting term. The estimated fair value of the RSUs was calculated based on the closing market price of Surmodics’ common stock on the grant date. The stock-based compensation table includes RSU expenses recognized related to these awards, which totaled $0.1 million for both the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and
$0.3 million and $0.2 for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively
.
19
Directors may elect to receive their annual fees for services to the Board in deferred stock units (“DSUs”). Certain directors elected this option beginn
ing on January 1, 2013 with subsequent deferral elections updated quarterly.
During the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018,
1,422 and 1,432 units, respectively, were issued with a total fair value of less than $0.1 million in each period. As of March
31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, outstanding, fully vested DSUs totaled 28,413 and 26,991, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to DSU awards totaled less than $0.1 million for both the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 a
nd
$0.1 million for both the six-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018
.
12. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Data
Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive common shares are those that result from dilutive common stock options, non-vested stock relating to restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, deferred stock units and performance shares. Options to purchase shares of common stock as well as unvested restricted stock and performance stock units are considered to be potentially dilutive common shares. However, these shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is antidilutive for the six months ended March 31, 2018, as a result of the net loss incurred for the period. Therefore, diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding and diluted net loss per share were the same as basic weighted average number of shares outstanding and net loss per share for the six months ended March 31, 2018.
The calculation of weighted average diluted shares outstanding excludes outstanding stock options associated with the right to purchase 0.2 million shares of common stock for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.2 million and 0.2 million shares of common stock in the six months ended March 31, 2019, as their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on diluted net income per share for those periods.
The following table sets forth the denominator for the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands):

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $25.3 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. This authorization does not have an expiration date.
13. Income Taxes
For interim income tax reporting, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies it to year-to-date pretax income (loss), excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items. Tax jurisdictions with losses for which tax benefits cannot be realized are excluded. The Company recorded income tax benefit of $0.2 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company recorded income tax benefit of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax legislation was signed into law, which reduced the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%, among other changes. As a result of the enactment of this legislation, the tax provision for the first six months of fiscal 2018 included discrete tax expense of $1.2 million from the Company’s net deferred tax assets revaluation based on the enacted tax rate of 21%, as compared with the previous rate of 35%.
The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the favorable impacts of increased U.S. federal research and development tax credits in both periods, as well as stock award activity in the six-month period. These benefits were partly offset by non-deductible acquired intangible asset amortization, as well as operating losses incurred in Ireland, where tax benefits are offset by a valuation allowance. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 24.5%
20
primarily due to operating losses incurred in Ireland, where tax benefits are offset by a valuation allowance, and non-de
ductible acquired intangible asset amortization, contingent consideration accretion, including fair value adjustments, as well as unrealized foreign currency translation losses on Euro-denominated contingent consideration liabilities. These increases to th
e effective income tax rate were partially offset by the U.S. federal research and development income tax credit
. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was impacted by discrete tax benefits of less than $0.1 milli
on and $0.2 million, respectively, related to
share awards vested, expired, cancelled and exercised
during the periods.
The effective income tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was impacted by discrete tax benefits of $0.5 million and
$0.4 million, respectively, related to
share awards vested, expired, cancelled and exercised
during the periods.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $1.7 million and $1.4 million as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in the income tax (benefit) provision.
The Company files income tax returns, including returns for its subsidiaries, in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state jurisdictions as well as several non-U.S. jurisdictions. Uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination. U.S. income tax returns for years prior to fiscal 2015 are no longer subject to examination by federal tax authorities. For tax returns for state and local jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to examination for tax years generally before fiscal 2007. For tax returns for non-U.S. jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examination for years prior to 2012. Additionally, the Company has been indemnified of liability for any taxes relating to Creagh Medical and NorMedix for periods prior to their respective acquisition dates, pursuant to the terms of the related share purchase agreements. As of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, there were no undistributed earnings in foreign subsidiaries.
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed an examination of our fiscal 2016 U.S. federal income tax return in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, with an immaterial payment made associated primarily with timing adjustments.
14. Segment and Geographical Information

The Corporate category includes expenses that are not fully allocated to Medical Device and In Vitro Diagnostics segments. These Corporate costs are related to functions, such as executive management, corporate accounting, legal, human resources and Board of Directors. Corporate may also include expenses, such as litigation, which are not specific to a segment and thus not allocated to the operating segments.
Asset information by operating segment is not presented because the Company does not provide its chief operating decision maker assets by operating segment, as the data is not readily available or significant to the decision-making process.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation.
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various legal actions involving its operations, products and technologies, including intellectual property and employment disputes. The outcomes of these legal actions are not within the Company’s complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In some actions, the claimants seek damages as well as other relief, including injunctions barring the sale of products that are the subject of the lawsuit, which if granted, could require significant expenditures or result in lost revenue. The Company records a liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is possible but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded.
In April 2018, a customer notified the Company that it believed it overpaid hydrophilic coating royalties to the Company from January 2009 through December 2017. During fiscal 2018, the Company recorded $1.0 million in selling, general and administrative expenses related to this claim, which was included in other accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2018. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company settled this claim and made a payment to the customer totaling $0.4 million, resulting in a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.6 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019.
InnoCore Technologies BV
. In March 2006, the Company entered into a license agreement whereby Surmodics obtained an exclusive license to a drug delivery coating for licensed products within the vascular field which included peripheral, coronary and neurovascular biodurable stent products. The license requires an annual minimum payment of 200,000 euros (equivalent to $224,000 using a euro to US dollar exchange rate of $1.1217 to the Euro as of March 31, 2019) until the last patent expires which is currently estimated to be September 2027. The total minimum future payments associated with this license are approximately $2.0 million as of March 31, 2019. The license is currently utilized by one of the Company’s drug delivery customers.
22
Operating Leases.
The Company leases certain facilities under noncancelable operating lease agreements. Rent expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Rent expense for the three and six month
s ended March 31, 2018 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. In November 2017, the Company executed a lease for a 36,000 square feet facility in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. This facility will consolidate substantially all of our whole products solu
tions research and development operations into one location. Payments under the lease agreement over the ten-year lease term commenced in May 2018. In connection with this lease, the Company deposited $0.4 million into a restricted cash account, which was
returned to the Company during the six months ended March 31, 2019. Annual commitments pursuant to operating lease agreements in place as of March 31, 2019
for the remainder of fiscal 2019 and each of the next five fiscal years are as follows
