NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Natus Medical Incorporated (“Natus,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accounting policies followed in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent in all material respects with those presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Interim financial reports are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission; accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The interim financial information is unaudited, and except for the prior period correction of errors disclosed below, reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. We have made certain reclassifications to the prior period to conform to current period presentation.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 sets forth a new revenue recognition model that requires identifying the contract, identifying the performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations.
The original effective date for ASU 2014-09 would have required the Company to adopt beginning in its first quarter of 2017. In July 2015, the FASB voted to amend ASU 2014-09 by approving a one-year deferral of the effective date as well as providing the option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. Accordingly, the Company may adopt the standard in either its first quarter of 2017 or 2018. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of its adoption and the impact of adopting the new revenue standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires a lessee to recognize the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases in the statement of financial position. Qualitative along with specific quantitative disclosures are required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including interim periods within those fiscal years.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard contains several amendments that will simplify the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income
taxes, forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The changes in the new standard eliminate the accounting for excess tax benefits to be recognized in additional paid-in capital and tax deficiencies recognized either in the income tax provision or in additional paid-in capital. The Company elected early adoption of ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2016 which will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit as a discrete event. An income tax benefit of approximately $0.8 million was recognized in the quarterly period ended March 31, 2016 as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09. There will be no change to retained earnings with respect to excess tax benefits, as this is not applicable to the Company. The treatment of forfeitures has not changed as we are electing to continue our current process of estimating the number of forfeitures. As such, this has no cumulative effect on retained earnings. With the early adoption of 2016-09, we have elected to present the cash flow statement on a prospective transition method and no prior periods have been adjusted.
2 - Business Combinations
NeuroQuest
On March 2, 2016, we acquired NeuroQuest, LLC (“NeuroQuest”) through an asset purchase. NeuroQuest compliments our Global Neuro-Diagnostics ("GND") and Monarch Medical Diagnostics, LLC ("Monarch") acquisitions which offer patients a convenient way to complete routine electroencephalography ("EEG") and video electromyography ("EMG") testing. The cash consideration for NeuroQuest was $4.6 million. The purchase agreement also included an asset consideration holdback of $0.5 million. Pro forma financial information for the NeuroQuest acquisition is not presented as it is not considered material and the purchase accounting is not yet completed.
Monarch
We acquired Monarch through an asset purchase on November 13, 2015. Monarch's service compliments our GND acquisition which offers patients a convenient way to complete routine diagnostic EEG and EMG testing. The service also provides comprehensive reporting and support to the physician. The cash consideration for Monarch was $2.7 million. The purchase agreement also included a contingent consideration holdback of $1.0 million which we paid on January 11, 2016. Pro forma financial information for the Monarch acquisition is not presented as it is not considered material.
Global Neuro-Diagnostics
We acquired GND through an equity purchase on January 23, 2015. GND's service offers patients a convenient way to complete routine diagnostic EEG and EMG testing, which can be performed at the home, hospital or physician's office. The service also provides comprehensive reporting and support to the physician. The cash consideration for GND was $11.4 million. The purchase agreement also included an earn-out condition which we estimate to be $3.8 million. This earn-out is contingent upon GND achieving certain revenue milestones from 2015 to 2017. Pro forma financial information for the GND acquisition is not presented as it is not considered material.
NicView
On January 2, 2015, we purchased the assets of NicView for cash consideration of $1.1 million. NicView provides streaming video for families with babies in the neonatal intensive care unit. The asset purchase agreement included an earn-out condition of $1.3 million that was contingent upon orders received and installed by February 28, 2016. The earn-out was paid on March 28, 2016. Pro forma financial information for the NicView acquisition is not presented as it is not considered material.

8 - Reserve for Product Warranties
We provide a warranty with our products that is generally one year in length and in some cases, regulations may require us to provide repair or remediation beyond our typical warranty period. If any of our products contain defects, we may be required to incur additional repair and remediation costs. Service for domestic customers is provided by Company-owned service centers that perform all service, repair, and calibration services. Service for international customers is provided by a combination of Company-owned facilities and vendors on a contract basis.
A warranty reserve is included in accrued liabilities for the expected future costs of servicing products. Additions to the reserve are based on management’s best estimate of probable liability. We consider a combination of factors including material and labor costs, regulatory requirements, and other judgments in determining the amount of the reserve. The reserve is reduced as costs are incurred to honor existing warranty and regulatory obligations.
As of March 31, 2016 we had accrued $6.6 million of estimated costs to bring certain NeoBLUE® phototherapy products into U.S. regulatory compliance. Our estimate of these costs is primarily based upon the number of units outstanding that may require repair, costs associated with shipping and repairing the product, and the assumption that the FDA will approve our plan for compliance. We expect that costs associated with bringing the products back into compliance will not be incurred until the third quarter of 2016.

The estimates we use in projecting future product warranty costs may prove to be incorrect. Any future determination that our product warranty reserves are understated could result in increases to our cost of sales and reductions in our operating profits and results of operations.
9 - Share-Based Compensation
At March 31, 2016, we have two active share-based compensation plans, the 2011 Stock Awards Plan and the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The terms of awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and our methods for determining grant-date fair value of the awards are consistent with those described in the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

11 - Income Taxes
Provision for Income Tax Expense
We recorded provisions for income tax of $3.1 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 26.8% and 31.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our year-to-date results reflect the projected fiscal year 2016 effective tax rate as adjusted for the impact of any quarterly discrete events. Discrete items for the three months ended March 31, 2016 include the tax rate impact from adoption of ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting and recording certain tax reserves. The impact from the adoption of ASU 2016-09 decreased our quarterly effective tax rate by 6.8%. Independent from the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the tax reserve we recorded in this quarter increased our quarterly tax rate by 4.7%. Discrete items recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased the quarterly tax rate by 3.6%. The decrease in our quarterly effective tax rate, excluding the impact of discrete items for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2015 is primarily attributable to forecasted shifts in the geographical mix of income.
We recorded $0.6 million net tax expense of unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Within the next twelve months, it is possible our uncertain tax benefit may change within a range of approximately zero to $0.5 million. Our tax returns remain open to examinations as follows: U.S. Federal, 2012 through 2015, U.S. States 2011 through 2015 and significant foreign jurisdictions 2012 through 2015.
12 - Restructuring Reserves
The Company has historically incurred an ongoing level of restructuring-type activities to maintain a competitive cost structure, including manufacturing and workforce optimization resulting from acquisitions.

14 - Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exit price associated with the sale of an asset or transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes the following three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices 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 assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The following financial instruments are not measured at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, but require disclosure of their fair values: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates fair values because of their relatively short maturity.
In the third quarter of 2014, the Company listed its facility in Mundelein, Illinois for sale. This asset was measured at fair value less cost to sell as of September 30, 2014 based on market price and is classified as a Level 2 asset. The book value of this asset on June 30, 2014 was $3.6 million. We expensed $2.2 million during the third quarter of 2014 for this impairment. As of March 31, 2016 we are carrying the asset as held for sale in other current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at a value of $1.4 million.
The Company also has contingent consideration associated with earn-outs from acquisitions. Contingent consideration liabilities are classified as Level 3 liabilities, as the Company uses unobservable inputs to value them, which is a probability-based income approach. Contingent considerations are classified as accrued liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities are recorded within the Company's income statement as an operating expense.
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| December 31, 2015 | | Additions | | Payments | | Adjustments | | March 31, 2016 |
Liabilities: | | | | | | | | | |
Contingent consideration | $ | 6,209 |

|
Total | $ | 6,209 |
| | $ | 500 |
| | $ | (2,284 | ) | | $ | (102 | ) | | $ | 4,323 |
|
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration related to the acquisitions are annualized revenue forecasts developed by the Company’s management and the probability of
achievement of those revenue forecasts. Significant increases (decreases) in these unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) supplements the MD&A in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 of Natus Medical Incorporated. MD&A should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes, the risk factors referred to in Part II, Item 1A of this report, our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the cautionary information regarding forward-looking statements at the end of this section.
Our Business
Natus is a leading provider of healthcare products used for the screening, detection, treatment, monitoring, and tracking of common medical ailments in newborn care, hearing impairment, neurological dysfunction, epilepsy, sleep disorders, and balance and mobility disorders.
We have completed a number of acquisitions since 2003, consisting of either the purchase of a company, substantially all of the assets of a company, or individual products or product lines. In 2015 and in the first quarter of 2016, we completed four acquisitions, NicView, GND, Monarch, and NeuroQuest. We expect to continue to pursue opportunities to acquire other businesses in the future.
End Markets
Our products address two primary end markets:
| |
• | Neurology - Includes products and services for diagnostic electroencephalography and long term monitoring, Intensive Care Unit monitoring, electromyography, sleep analysis or polysomnography, intra-operative monitoring, and diagnostic and monitoring transcranial doppler ultrasound technology. |
| |
• | Newborn Care - Includes products and services for newborn care including video streaming, hearing screening, brain injury, thermoregulation, jaundice management, and various disposable products, as well as products for diagnostic hearing assessment for children through adult populations, and products to diagnose and assist in treating balance and mobility disorders. |
Segment and Geographic Information
We operate in one reportable segment, which we have presented as the aggregation of our neurology and newborn care product families. Within this reportable segment we are organized on the basis of the healthcare products and services we provide which are used for the screening, detection, treatment, monitoring, and tracking of common medical ailments in newborn care, hearing impairment, neurological dysfunction, epilepsy, and sleep disorders.
Our end-user customer base includes hospitals, clinics, laboratories, physicians, nurses, audiologists, and governmental agencies. Most of our international sales are to distributors, who in turn, resell our products to end users or sub-distributors.
Information regarding our sales and long-lived assets in the U.S. and in countries outside the U.S. is contained in Note 13 – Segment, Customer and Geographic Information of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report and is incorporated in this section by reference.
Revenue by Product Category
We generate our revenue from sales of Devices and Systems, which are generally non-recurring, and from related Supplies and Services, which are generally recurring. The products that are attributable to these categories are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Revenue from Devices and Systems, Supplies, and Services, as a percent of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, is as follows:
|
| | | | | |
| Three Months Ended
March 31, |
| 2016 | | 2015 |
Devices and Systems | 60 | % | | 65 | % |
Supplies | 31 | % | | 31 | % |
Services | 9 | % | | 4 | % |
Total | 100 | % | | 100 | % |
During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, no single customer or foreign country contributed to more than 10% of revenue.
2016 First Quarter Overview
Our business and operating results are driven in part by worldwide economic conditions. Our sales are significantly dependent on both capital spending by hospitals in the United States and healthcare spending by ministries of health outside the United States.
Our consolidated revenue decreased $2.1 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2016 to $87.3 million compared to $89.4 million in the first quarter of the previous year. Our revenue decreases were primarily in the International markets and Newborn Care device sales in the United States partially offset by growth in our Services businesses and Neurology devices in the United States.
Net income was $8.5 million or $0.26 per diluted share in the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with net income of $8.6 million or $0.26 per diluted share in the same period in 2015. The slight decrease in net income was a result of an increase in operating expenses, partially offset by increases in gross profit due to product mix and operating efficiencies, increases in other income and lower income taxes.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In so doing, we must often make estimates and use assumptions that can be subjective, and, consequently, our actual results could differ from those estimates. For any given individual estimate or assumption we make, there may also be other estimates or assumptions that are reasonable.
We believe that the following critical accounting policies require the use of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments:
| |
• | Inventory carried at the lower of cost or market value |
| |
• | Carrying value of intangible assets and goodwill |
| |
• | Liability for product warranties |
| |
• | Share-based compensation |
The use of different estimates, assumptions, or judgments could have a material effect on the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures as of the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. These critical accounting policies are described in more detail in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, under Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, Neurology revenue increased by 1% compared to the same quarter last year. Growth in our domestic market was partially offset by a decline in revenue from international markets due mainly to ongoing weakness of European markets. Revenues from sales of Neurology Devices and Systems decreased by 3%, driven mainly by declines in international EEG, EMG and IOM revenue partially offset by growth in United States device revenue, particularly for EEG. Revenue from Supplies increased by 3%, with growth in both our domestic and international markets. The growth in Services revenue is the result of our January 2015 acquisition of Global Neuro-Diagnostics followed by acquisitions of Monarch Diagnostics in November 2015 and NeuroQuest in March 2016.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, Newborn Care revenue decreased by 7% compared to the same quarter last year. Geographically, the decrease was primarily in the international markets. Revenue from Devices and Systems decreased by 26% compared to the same period last year. The decrease was experienced across all devices including hearing, phototherapy, incubators, and warmers, and brain injury. We believe this decrease is due in part to customer delays in submitting orders in both domestics and international markets, some cannibalization due to the growth of Peloton, our hearing screening service, and a shipping hold on two of our products that we expect to be lifted in the following quarters. Revenue from supplies slightly decreased in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period last year. Revenue from Services increased 132% compared to the same period last year. This increase was due to the growth of Peloton, our hearing screening service launched in the first quarter of 2014, and the growth of our Data Management services.
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2016 or March 31, 2015. Revenue from domestic sales increased 4% to $56.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $54.6 million in the first quarter of 2015. Revenue from international sales decreased 13% to $30.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $34.8 million in the first quarter of 2015. We believe, the decrease in international revenue was driven by slowing international economies.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased 2.1% compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was attributable to the shift in our geographic mix towards the United States and a decrease in inventory provision charges compared to the same period last year.

Marketing and Selling
Marketing and selling expenses as a percentage of revenue increased slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. Marketing and selling expenses remained fairly constant as compared to the same period last year.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015. This increase is attributable to activities related to the remediation of certain deficiencies identified in our quality system and an increase in project spend.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense increased during the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the same periods in 2015. This increase is attributable to changes in bad debt expense, consulting fees to improve productivity and an investment in managerial skills in Argentina.
Intangibles Amortization
Intangibles amortization increased during the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the same periods in 2015. This was due to the acquisition of GND and to assigning lives to our trade names. During the second quarter of 2015 we initiated a strategy to increase the brand strength of Natus by replacing acquired product trade names with Natus branded products over time. The implementation of this strategy places definite expected future lives on our acquired trade names which previously had indefinite lives. We assigned these trade names lives of seven years based on the timeline of our branding strategy. We will continue to assess the lives of these assets based on the timing and execution of this strategy. Amortization expense for trade names is recorded as a component of operating expense.
Restructuring
Restructuring expenses decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015. In 2015 we experienced higher expense related to severance accruals.
Other Income (Expense), net
Other income (expense), net consists of investment income, interest expense, net currency exchange gains and losses, and other miscellaneous income and expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 we reported other income of $0.5 million compared to other expense of $0.8 million for the same period in 2015. This increase is mainly attributable to an increase in net currency exchange gains.
Provision for Income Tax
We recorded provisions for income tax of $3.1 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 26.8% and 31.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our year-to-date results reflect the projected fiscal year 2016 effective tax rate as adjusted for the impact of any quarterly discrete events. Our discrete items for the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes the tax rate impact from adoption of ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting and recording certain tax reserves. The impact from the adoption of ASU 2016-09 decreased our quarterly effective tax rate by 6.8%. Independent from the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the tax reserve we recorded in this quarter increased our quarterly tax rate by 4.7%. The discrete items recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased the quarterly tax rate by 3.6%. The decrease in our quarterly effective tax rate, excluding the impact of discrete items for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2015 is primarily attributable to forecasted shifts in the geographical mix of income.
We recorded $0.6 million net tax expense of unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Within the next twelve months, it is possible our uncertain tax benefit may change with a range of approximately zero to $0.5 million. Our tax returns remain open to examinations as follows: U.S. Federal, 2012 through 2015, U.S. States 2011 through 2015 and significant foreign jurisdictions 2012 through 2015.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and any cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our ongoing operating requirements for the foreseeable future.
As of March 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents outside the U.S. in certain of our foreign operations of $64.3 million. We intend to permanently reinvest the cash held by our foreign subsidiaries. If, however, a portion of these funds were needed for and distributed to our operations in the United States, we would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. The amount of taxes due would depend on the amount and manner of repatriation, as well as the country from which the funds were repatriated.
On October 9, 2015 we entered into a Credit Agreement with Citibank, National Association (“Citibank”). Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Citibank agrees, on a non-committed basis, to make loans to us from time to time, not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million. The proceeds under the Revolving Line of Credit shall be used by us for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement contains covenants, including covenants relating to maintenance of books and records, financial reporting and notification, compliance with laws, maintenance of properties and insurance, and limitations on guaranties, investments, issuance of debt, lease obligations and capital expenditures. The Credit Agreement provides for events of default, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to perform or
observe covenants, bankruptcy or insolvency events and the occurrence of a material adverse effect. Concurrent with the execution of the Credit Agreement, we exited an existing and previously disclosed credit agreement with Wells Fargo, N.A. We have no other significant credit facilities. As of March 31, 2016 no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016 cash provided by operating activities of $19.4 million was the result of $8.5 million of net income, non-cash adjustments to net income of $8.4 million, and net cash inflows of $2.4 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. This was primarily driven by a large decrease in accounts receivable stemming from collections made during the three months ended March 31, 2016 offset by a decrease in accounts payable. Cash used in investing activities during the period was $7.6 million and consisted primarily of cash used in the acquisition of NeuroQuest of $4.6 million, net of cash acquired. Cash used to acquire other property and equipment was $1.9 million. Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $11.7 million and consisted of $9.1 million for repurchases of common stock under our share repurchase program, $2.0 million for taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards, and $1.3 million for a contingent consideration payment to NicView, which we acquired in 2015, offset by proceeds from stock option exercises of $0.6 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we borrowed and paid back $6.0 million of cash within the quarter.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015 cash provided by operating activities of $13.8 million was the result of $8.6 million of net income, non-cash adjustments to net income of $4.8 million, and net cash inflows of $0.4 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash used in investing activities during the period was $13.5 million, and consisted of cash used to acquire GND of $11.4 million and cash used to acquire other property and equipment of $1.4 million. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $0.6 million and consisted primarily of $1.3 million for repurchases of common stock under our share repurchase program, and $0.5 million for taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards, offset by proceeds from stock options exercises and their related tax benefits of $2.4 million.
Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the:
| |
• | Extent to which we make acquisitions; |
| |
• | Amount and timing of revenue; |
| |
• | Extent to which our existing and new products gain market acceptance; |
| |
• | Cost and timing of product development efforts and the success of these development efforts; |
| |
• | Cost and timing of marketing and selling activities; and |
| |
• | Availability of borrowings under line of credit arrangements and the availability of other means of financing. |
Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business we enter into obligations and commitments that require future contractual payments. The commitments result primarily from firm, noncancellable purchase orders placed with contract vendors that manufacture some of the components used in our medical devices and related disposable supply products, as well as commitments for leased office, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities.
There are no material changes to the table of contractual obligations presented in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Under our bylaws, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences arising as a result of the officer or director serving in such capacity. We have a directors and officers’ liability insurance policy that limits our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid resulting from the indemnification of our officers and directors. In addition, we enter into indemnification agreements with other parties in the ordinary course of business. In some cases we have obtained liability insurance providing coverage that limits our exposure for these other indemnified matters. We have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. We believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal and have not recorded a liability for these agreements. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we had no other off-balance sheet arrangements that had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

These statements include, among other things, statements concerning our expectations, beliefs, plans, intentions, future operations, financial condition and prospects, and business strategies. The words “may,” “will,” “continue,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” and other similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this Item 2 include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following: our expectation regarding expansion of our international operations, our expectations regarding our new products, the sufficiency of our current cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investment balances, and any cash generated from operations to meet our ongoing operating and capital requirements for the foreseeable future, the use of debt to fund acquisitions, our expectations of earnout arrangements related to acquisitions, and our intent to acquire additional technologies, products, or businesses.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results predicted in the forward-looking statements as well as our future financial condition and results of operations to differ materially from our historical results or currently anticipated results. Investors should carefully review the information contained under the caption “Risk Factors” contained in Part II, Item 1A of this report for a description of risks and uncertainties.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, “disclosure controls and procedures” are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud due to inherent limitations of internal controls. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2016.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2016, which were identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
We may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings or claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Our management reviews these matters if and when they arise and believes that the resolution of any such matters currently known will not have a material effect on our results of operations or financial position.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
A description of the risks associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations is set forth in Part 1, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
