CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation. The interim consolidated financial statements of Merit Medical Systems, Inc. ("Merit," "we" or "us") for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are not audited. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements for unaudited interim periods and, consequently, do not include all disclosures required to be made in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and our results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full-year period. Within the financial statements and tables presented, certain columns and rows may not total due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes. Percentages and earnings per share amounts presented are calculated from the underlying amounts. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2019 Form 10-K") for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 2, 2020.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2019 periods to conform to the 2020 presentation. In the consolidated statements of cash flows, the fair value adjustment to contingent consideration is presented as a reconciling item between net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities in 2020, with a corresponding reclassification of $775,000 made in the prior period for comparability, along with corresponding reclassifications to the change in certain operating assets and liabilities.

2. Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards.

Recently Adopted

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 became effective for us on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which removes, modifies and adds various disclosure requirements related to fair value disclosures. ASU 2018-13 became effective for us beginning on January 1, 2020. We modified our disclosures beginning in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 to conform with this guidance (see Note 14).

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The new credit loss model must be applied to loans, accounts receivable, and other financial assets. ASU 2016-13 became effective for us beginning on January 1, 2020. We adopted this standard using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $575,000 as of the beginning of 2020. See Note 14 for additional disclosures related to our allowance for current expected credit losses. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our statements of operations or cash flows.

We currently believe that all other issued and not yet effective accounting standards are not relevant to our financial statements.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for these goods.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The disaggregation of revenue is based on product category and geographical region. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we revised our product categories to more clearly reflect how we sell our products to our customers. We presented historical information under the new revised product categories in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on April 3, 2020.

We design, develop, manufacture and market medical products for interventional and diagnostic procedures. For financial reporting purposes, we report our operations in two operating segments: cardiovascular and endoscopy. Our cardiovascular segment consists of four product categories: peripheral intervention, cardiac intervention, custom procedural solutions, and OEM. Within these product categories, we sell a variety of products, including cardiology and radiology devices (which assist in diagnosing and treating coronary arterial disease, peripheral vascular disease and other non-vascular diseases), as well as embolotherapeutic, cardiac rhythm management, electrophysiology, critical care, breast cancer localization and guidance, biopsy, interventional oncology and spine devices. Our endoscopy segment consists of gastroenterology and pulmonology devices which assist in the palliative treatment of expanding esophageal, tracheobronchial and biliary strictures caused by malignant tumors.

The following tables present revenue from contracts with customers for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

4. Acquisitions. On August 1, 2019, we entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire Fibrovein Holdings Limited, which is the owner of 100% of the capital stock of STD Pharmaceutical Products Limited, a UK private company engaged in the manufacture, distribution and sale of pharmaceutical sclerotherapy products (“STD Pharmaceutical”). The purchase consideration consisted of an upfront payment of approximately $13.7 million, net of cash acquired. We also recorded a contingent consideration liability of approximately $934,000 related to royalties potentially payable pursuant to the terms of the share purchase agreement. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. The sales and results of operations related to the acquisition have been included in our cardiovascular segment since the acquisition date and were not material. Acquisition-related costs associated with the STD Pharmaceutical acquisition, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were not material. The purchase price was preliminarily allocated as follows (in thousands):


Assets Acquired
Trade receivables	$	277
Inventories		843
Prepaid expenses and other assets		49
Intangible assets
Developed technology		10,428
Goodwill		4,975
Total assets acquired		16,572

Liabilities Assumed
Trade payables		(53)
Accrued expenses		(29)
Deferred income tax liabilities		(1,890)
Total liabilities assumed		(1,972)

Total net assets acquired	$	14,600

We are amortizing the developed technology intangible asset acquired in the STD Pharmaceutical acquisition over 12 years. The goodwill consists largely of the synergies we hope to achieve from combining operations and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

On June 14, 2019, we consummated an acquisition transaction contemplated by a merger agreement to acquire Brightwater Medical, Inc. ("Brightwater"). The purchase consideration consisted of an upfront payment of $35 million plus a final working capital adjustment of approximately $39,000, net of cash acquired, with potential earn-out payments of up to an additional $5 million for achievement of CE certification with respect to the Brightwater ConvertX®, a single-use device used to replace a series of devices and procedures used to treat severe obstructions of the ureter, and up to an additional $10 million for the achievement of sales milestones specified in the merger agreement. The ConvertX device is designed to be implanted once and converted from a nephroureteral catheter to a nephroureteral stent without requiring sedation or local anesthesia. Brightwater recently received FDA clearance for the ConvertX biliary stent device. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. The sales and results of operations related to the acquisition have been included in our cardiovascular segment since the acquisition date and were not material. Acquisition-related costs associated with

the Brightwater acquisition, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were not material. The purchase price was preliminarily allocated as follows (in thousands):


Assets Acquired
Trade receivables	$	55
Inventories		349
Property and equipment		409
Other long-term assets		30
Intangible assets

Goodwill		17,492

Accrued expenses		(261)
Other long-term obligations		(1,522)
Deferred income tax liabilities		(4,148)
Total liabilities assumed		(5,989)

Total net assets acquired	$	44,639

We are amortizing the developed technology intangible asset acquired in the Brightwater acquisition over 13 years, the related trademarks over five years and the customer list on an accelerated basis over one year. The total weighted-average amortization period for these acquired intangible assets is approximately 12.9 years. The goodwill consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale we hope to achieve from combining the acquired assets and operations with our historical operations and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The pro forma impact of these acquisitions was not significant, either individually or in the aggregate, on our financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. Operating results attributable to the STD Pharmaceutical and Brightwater acquisitions were included in our consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.

Aggregate amortization expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $15.0 million and $14.8 million, respectively.

We evaluate long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We perform the impairment analysis at the asset group for which the lowest level of identifiable cash flows is largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. We compare the carrying value of the amortizing intangible assets acquired to the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the asset group and determine whether the carrying amount is recoverable. We determine the fair value of our amortizing assets based on estimated future cash flows discounted back to their present value using a discount rate that reflects the risk profiles of the underlying activities. We did not identify indicators of impairment in any intangible assets based on our qualitative assessment for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Estimated amortization expense for the developed technology and other intangible assets for the next five years consists of the following as of March 31, 2020 (in thousands):


Year Ending December 31,	Estimated Amortization Expense

7. Income Taxes. Our provision for income taxes for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was a tax expense of approximately $1.2 million and $651,000, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of

Table of Contents

(58.3)% and 9.5%, respectively. The increase in the income tax expense and the corresponding change in the effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, when compared to the prior-year period, was primarily due to discrete expenses related to the fair value adjustment of the contingent consideration liabilities of recent equity acquisitions and the write-off of our purchase option to acquire Bluegrass Vascular Technologies, Inc. (“Bluegrass Vascular”) due to our decision not to exercise our option to purchase this business (see Note 14).

Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On July 31, 2019, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Third Amended Credit Agreement"). The Third Amended Credit Agreement is a syndicated loan agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and other parties. The Third Amended Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety our previously outstanding Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and all amendments thereto. The Third Amended Credit Agreement provides for a term loan of $150 million and a revolving credit commitment up to an aggregate amount of $600 million, inclusive of sub-facilities for multicurrency borrowings, standby letters of credit and swingline loans. On July 31, 2024, all principal, interest and other amounts outstanding under the Third Amended Credit Agreement are payable in full. At any time prior to the maturity date, we may repay any amounts owing under all term loans and revolving credit loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, other than breakage fees (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement).

Revolving credit loans denominated in dollars and term loans made under the Third Amended Credit Agreement bear interest, at our election, at either the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate (as such terms are defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement). Revolving credit loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement) bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Swingline loans bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement). Interest on each loan featuring the Base Rate is due and payable on the last business day of each calendar quarter; interest on each loan featuring the Eurocurrency Rate is due and payable on the last day of each interest period applicable thereto, and if such interest period extends over three months, at the end of each three-month interval during such interest period.

The Third Amended Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all our assets. The Third Amended Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, representations and warranties, events of default and other terms

customary for loans of this nature. In particular, the Third Amended Credit Agreement requires that we maintain certain financial covenants, as follows:



	Covenant Requirement
Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio ⁽¹⁾		4.0 to 1.0
Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio ⁽²⁾		3.0 to 1.0
Facility Capital Expenditures ⁽³⁾		$50 million

(1)	Maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement) as of any fiscal quarter end.

(2)	Minimum ratio of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement and adjusted for certain expenditures) to Consolidated interest expense (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters.

(3)	Maximum level of the aggregate amount of all Facility Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement) in any fiscal year.

As of March 31, 2020, we believe we were in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Third Amended Credit Agreement.

As of March 31, 2020, we had outstanding borrowings of approximately $446.1 million under the Third Amended Credit Agreement, with additional available borrowings of approximately $232.1 million, based on the net leverage ratio required pursuant to the Third Amended Credit Agreement. Our interest rate as of March 31, 2020 was a fixed rate of 2.87% on $175 million as a result of an interest rate swap (see Note 9) and a variable floating rate of 2.74% on $271.1 million. Our interest rate as of December 31, 2019 was a fixed rate of 2.62% on $175 million as a result of an interest rate swap and a variable floating rate of 3.30% on $265 million.

Future minimum principal payments on our long-term debt as of March 31, 2020, were as follows (in thousands):

9. Derivatives.

General. Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, and we seek to mitigate a portion of these risks by entering into derivative contracts. The derivatives we use are interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. We recognize derivatives as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, regardless of whether or not hedge accounting is applied. We report cash flows arising from our hedging instruments consistent with the classification of cash flows from the underlying hedged items. Accordingly, cash flows associated with our derivative programs are classified as operating activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

We formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting initially and on an ongoing basis. For qualifying hedges, the change in fair value is deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and recognized in earnings at the same time the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in earnings throughout the term of the derivative.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk. Our debt bears interest at variable interest rates and, therefore, we are subject to variability in the cash paid for interest expense. In order to mitigate a portion of this risk, we use a hedging strategy to reduce the variability of cash flows in the interest payments associated with a portion of the variable-rate debt outstanding under our Third Amended Credit Agreement that is solely due to changes in the benchmark interest rate.

Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

On August 5, 2016, we entered into a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap with a current notional amount of $175 million with Wells Fargo to fix the one-month LIBOR rate at 1.12%. The variable portion of the interest rate swap is tied to the one-month LIBOR rate (the benchmark interest rate). On a monthly basis, the interest rates under both the interest rate swap and the underlying debt reset, the swap is settled with the counterparty, and interest is paid. The interest rate swap is scheduled to expire on July 6, 2021.

On December 23, 2019, we entered into a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap with a notional amount of $75 million with Wells Fargo to fix the one-month LIBOR rate at 1.71% for the period from July 6, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The variable portion of the interest rate swap is tied to the one-month LIBOR rate (the benchmark interest rate). On a monthly basis, the interest rates under both the interest rate swap and the underlying debt will reset, the swap will be settled with the counterparty, and interest will be paid.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our interest rate swaps qualified as cash flow hedges. The fair value of our interest rate swaps at March 31, 2020 was a liability of approximately $4.8 million, which was partially offset by approximately $1.2 million in deferred taxes. The fair value of our interest rate swaps at December 31, 2019 was an asset of approximately $1.2 million, partially offset by approximately $307,000 in deferred taxes, and a liability of $(290,000), partially offset by approximately $(75,000) in deferred taxes.

Foreign Currency Risk. We operate on a global basis and are exposed to the risk that our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To reduce the potential effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements on net earnings, we enter into derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency exchange forward contracts with major financial institutions. Our policy is to enter into foreign currency derivative contracts with maturities of up to two years. We are primarily exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to transactions and balances denominated in Chinese Renminbi, Euros, British Pounds, Mexican Pesos, Brazilian Reals, Australian Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars, Swiss Francs, Swedish Krona, Canadian Dollars, Danish Krone, Japanese Yen, and South Korean Won, among others. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We are not subject to any credit risk contingent features related to our derivative contracts, and counterparty risk is managed by allocating derivative contracts among several major financial institutions.

Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is temporarily reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and then reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. We entered into forward contracts on various foreign currencies to manage the risk associated with forecasted exchange rates which impact revenues, cost of sales, and operating expenses in various international markets. The objective of the hedges is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the forecasted purchase or sale of the associated foreign currencies.

We enter into approximately 150 cash flow foreign currency hedges every month. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 we had entered into foreign currency forward contracts, which qualified as cash flow hedges, with notional amounts of $173.2 million and $212.5 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

We forecast our net exposure in various receivables and payables to fluctuations in the value of various currencies, and we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate that exposure. We enter into approximately 20 foreign currency fair value hedges every month. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 we had entered into foreign currency forward contracts related to those balance sheet accounts with notional amounts of $65.2 million and $65.0 million, respectively.

Balance Sheet Presentation of Derivative Instruments. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all derivative instruments, both those designated as hedging instruments and those that were not designated as hedging instruments, were recorded gross at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. We are not subject to any master netting agreements.

10. Commitments and Contingencies.

Loan Commitment. On October 11, 2019, we acquired shares of stock in Selio Medical Limited (“Selio”) representing an ownership interest of approximately 19.5%, as well as an option to purchase all ordinary shares of Selio throughout a 45 day period commencing from the date Selio receives FDA 510(k) approval of a medical device it is currently developing, and an option to purchase all remaining shares of Selio on the third anniversary date of the agreement if we elect to purchase all ordinary shares. We have also made a loan of $250,000 to Selio and committed to provide additional loans of up to €2 million at a rate of 5% per annum. Additional loans made to Selio pursuant to our loan agreement, together with the initial advance and all other amounts owed to us by Selio, would be securitized by Selio’s assets.

Litigation: In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various claims and litigation matters. These claims and litigation matters may include actions involving product liability, intellectual property, contract disputes, and employment or other matters that are significant to our business. For example, in December 2019 our company, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer were named in a complaint filed in the Central District of California, which alleges violations of certain federal securities laws. Based upon our review of currently available information, we do not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In addition to the foregoing matters, in October 2016, we received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice seeking information on certain of our marketing and promotional practices. We have responded to the subpoena, as well as additional related requests. We have incurred, and anticipate that we will continue to incur, substantial costs in connection with the matter. The investigation is ongoing and at this stage we are unable to predict its scope, duration or outcome. Investigations such as this may result in the imposition of, among other things, significant damages, injunctions, fines, or civil or criminal claims or penalties against our company or individuals. Legal expenses we incurred in responding to the

Table of Contents

U.S. Department of Justice investigation for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

In the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of any of the foregoing matters, or other similar matters, if resolved in a manner unfavorable to us, may be materially adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Legal costs for these matters, such as outside counsel fees and expenses, are charged to expense in the period incurred.

11. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share (EPS). The computation of weighted average shares outstanding and the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share consisted of the following (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Stock options excluded as the impact was anti-dilutive⁽¹⁾		4,340		976

(1)	For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, 2,242 outstanding stock options were considered antidilutive due to the net loss in the period. Independent of the net loss incurred, the potentially dilutive effect of these options would have been 769 shares.

12. Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense before income tax expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 consisted of the following (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended

	2020		2019
Cost of sales	$	339	$	252
Research and development		285		192
Selling, general and administrative		2,153		1,322
Stock-based compensation expense before taxes	$	2,777	$	1,766

Nonqualified Stock Options

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we granted stock options representing 216,494 and 909,603 shares of our common stock, respectively. We use the Black-Scholes methodology to value the stock-based compensation expense for options. In applying the Black-Scholes methodology to the option grants, the fair value of our stock-based awards granted was estimated using the following assumptions for the periods indicated below:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2020	2019
Risk-free interest rate	0.52% - 1.67%	2.42% - 2.56%
Expected option term	4.0 - 5.0 years	3.0 - 5.0 years
Expected dividend yield	—	—
Expected price volatility	38.65% - 43.24%	28.93% - 33.69%

Table of Contents

The average risk-free interest rate is determined using the U.S. Treasury rate in effect as of the date of grant, based on the expected term of the stock award. We determine the expected term of the stock options using the historical exercise behavior of employees. The expected price volatility was determined using a weighted average of daily historical volatility of our stock price over the corresponding expected option term and implied volatility based on recent trends of the daily historical volatility. For awards with a vesting period, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, which corresponds to the vesting period.

We recognize stock-based compensation expense (net of a forfeiture rate) for those awards which are expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. We estimate the forfeiture rate based on our historical experience and expectations about future forfeitures. As of March 31, 2020, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was approximately $28.4 million, which was expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.93 years.

Stock-Settled Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, we granted stock-settled performance-based restricted stock units (“performance stock units”) to certain of our executive officers representing up to 152,475 shares of our common stock. Conversion of the performance stock units occurs at the end of one, two and three-year performance periods, or one year after the agreement date, whichever is later. The conversion ratio is based upon attaining targeted levels of free cash flow (“FCF”) and relative shareholder return as compared to the Russell 2,000 (“rTSR”), as defined in the award agreements. The payout for each unit is equal to one share of common stock multiplied by a FCF multiplier (between 0% and 200%) and a rTSR multiplier (between 75% and 125%). If FCF is below a specified threshold, no shares will be awarded. The potential maximum payout per performance stock units is 250% of the target shares. Performance stock units convey no shareholder rights, including voting rights, unless and until shares are issued in settlement of the award. As performance stock units represent contingently issuable shares, we have
