Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Organization and Description of Business

Penumbra, Inc. (the “Company”) is a global healthcare company focused on innovative therapies. The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets medical devices and has a broad portfolio of products that addresses challenging medical conditions and significant clinical needs.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), and the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the changes in comprehensive income and stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any other future annual or interim period. Certain changes in presentation were made in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 to conform to the presentation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, other than changes to the Company’s leasing policy described below in connection with the adoption of the guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority-owned subsidiary. The portion of equity not attributable to the Company is considered non-controlling interest and is classified separately in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Any subsequent changes in the Company’s ownership interest while the Company retains its controlling interest in its majority-owned subsidiary will be accounted for as equity transactions. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and equity accounts; disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to marketable investments, provisions for doubtful accounts, the amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price, warranty reserve, valuation of inventories, useful lives of property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities, income taxes, contingent consideration and other contingencies, among others. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other data. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segments

Table of Contents

Penumbra, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

The Company determined its operating segment on the same basis that it uses to evaluate its performance internally. The Company has one business activity: the design, development, manufacturing and marketing of innovative devices, and operates as one operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker, its Chief Executive Officer, reviews its consolidated operating results for the purpose of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and its associated amendments using the modified retrospective transition approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application and not restating comparative periods. There was no cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings upon adoption. Under the standard, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and ROU asset for all leases. The new guidance also modified the classification criteria and requires additional disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Consistent with current guidance, a lessee’s recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease continues to depend primarily on its classification. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the Company to carryforward its historical lease classification, its assessment on whether a contract was or contains a lease, and its initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to January 1, 2019. In addition, the Company elected the following transitional practical expedients: (1) the short-term lease exception and (2) to not separate its non-lease components for its real estate, vehicle and equipment leases. The impact of adoption and additional disclosures required by the ASU have been included in “Significant Accounting Policies - Leases” below and in Note “8. Leases.”

The Company adopted the guidance under ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach. There was no cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings upon adoption.

Under ASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. In addition, the Company determines whether leases meet the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease at the lease commencement date considering: (1) whether the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee at the end of the lease term, (2) whether the lease contains a bargain purchase option, (3) whether the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, (4) whether the present value of the sum of the lease payments and residual value guaranteed by the lessee equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset, and (5) whether the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. As of September 30, 2019, the Company's lease population consisted of real estate, equipment and vehicle leases. As of the date of adoption of ASC 842 and September 30, 2019, the Company did not have material finance leases.

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities, and non-current operating lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date if the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The determination of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate requires management judgment including, the development of a synthetic credit rating and cost of debt as the Company currently does not carry any debt. The operating lease ROU assets also include adjustments for prepayments, accrued lease payments and exclude lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Lease agreements entered into after the adoption of ASC 842 that include lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component. Lease agreements with a noncancelable term of less than 12 months are not recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. For more information about the impact of adoption and disclosures on the Company’s leases, refer to Note “8. Leases.”

Recent Accounting Guidance

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The standard changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04 which

provides additional clarification and addresses stakeholders’ specific issues about certain aspects of the amendments in the previously issued ASU No. 2016-13. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05 which further amends ASU No. 2016-13 by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The primary focus of the standard is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of the standard and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as 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 supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company classifies its cash equivalents and marketable investments within Level 1 and Level 2, as it uses quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs.

The Company determined the fair value of its Level 1 financial instruments, which are traded in active markets, using quoted market prices for identical instruments.

Financial instruments classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued based on other observable inputs, including broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources. When quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are not available, the Company relies on non-binding quotes from its investment managers, which are based on proprietary valuation models of independent pricing services. These models generally use inputs such as observable market data, quoted market prices for similar instruments, or historical pricing trends of a security relative to its peers. To validate the fair value determination provided by its investment managers, the Company reviews the pricing movement in the context of overall market trends and trading information from its investment managers. In addition, the Company assesses the inputs and methods used in determining the fair value in order to determine the classification of securities in the fair value hierarchy.

Contingent Consideration Obligations

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s contingent consideration liability relates to milestone payments due in connection with the 2017 acquisition of Crossmed S.p.a. (“Crossmed”) and is classified as a Level 3 measurement for which fair value is derived from various inputs, including forecasted revenues during the earn-out milestone periods, revenue volatilities, discount rates, and estimates in the likelihood of achieving revenue-based milestones. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability is remeasured each reporting period. The following table presents quantitative information about certain unobservable inputs used in the Level 3 fair value measurement of the Company’s contingent consideration liability, other than the forecasted revenues during the earn-out milestone period:

The customer relationships and other intangible assets subject to amortization relate to the acquisition of Crossmed during the third quarter of 2017. The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of these intangible assets are subject to foreign currency translation effects. Refer to Note “5. Asset Acquisitions and Business Combinations” for more information. The Company’s $5.3 million trade secrets and processes intangible asset was recognized in connection with a royalty buyout agreement during the first quarter of 2018, which is discussed further in Note “9. Commitments and Contingencies” and Note “10. Stockholders’ Equity.”

The following table presents the amortization expense recorded related to the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 (in thousands):

Total	$	262	$	271	$	791	$	828

Licensed technology

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company entered into an exclusive technology license agreement (the “License Agreement”) that required the Company to pay an upfront payment to the licensor of $2.5 million and future revenue milestone-based payments on sales of products covered by the licensed intellectual property. The Company recorded an intangible asset equal to the total payments made and expected to be made under the License Agreement and a corresponding contingent liability for the probable future milestone payments not yet paid. As of September 30, 2019, the licensed technology is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Upon the commercialization of the underlying product utilizing the licensed technology, the capitalized amount will be amortized over its estimated useful life.

At the end of each reporting period the Company adjusts the contingent liabilities to reflect the amount of future milestone payments that are probable to be paid. Prior to the commercialization of products utilizing the underlying technology, any changes in the contingent liability are recorded as an adjustment between the liability balances and the gross carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, there were no changes to the contingent liability related to the exclusive technology license agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the contingent liability related to the exclusive technology license agreement decreased by $0.6 million. The changes in the contingent liability balance were due to changes in the underlying revenue forecasts used to estimate the probable future milestone payments. As of September 30, 2019, the balance of the contingent liability related to probable future milestone payments under the License Agreement was $11.7 million, of which $0.9 million and $10.9 million were included in accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the balance of the contingent liability related to probable future milestone payments under the License Agreement was $12.4 million, of which $0.9 million and $11.5 million were included in accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, respectively.

As of September 30, 2019, the gross carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset was $14.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company noted no events or circumstances that indicate the carrying value of the licensed technology may no longer be recoverable and that an impairment loss may have occurred.

As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, the Company’s contracts that contained a lease consisted of real estate, equipment and vehicle leases.

The Company leases real estate for office and warehouse space primarily under noncancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2031, subject to the Company’s option to renew certain leases for an additional five to fifteen years. The Company also leases other equipment and vehicles primarily under noncancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2024. As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, the Company did not have material finance leases.

⁽¹⁾Variable lease costs represent payments that are dependent on usage, a rate or index. Variable lease cost primarily relates to common area maintenance charges for its real estate leases as the Company elected not to separate non-lease components from lease components upon adoption of ASC 842.

Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company recorded operating lease rent expense under ASC 840 on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable lease term. Rent expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $1.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company signed a fifteen year lease for additional space at the Company’s headquarters located at 1310 Harbor Bay Business Park, Alameda, California (the “1310 Harbor Bay Lease”) which has not yet commenced as of September 30, 2019. The 1310 Harbor Bay Lease is expected to commence upon substantial completion of lessor owned improvements in connection with the development of the building which the Company anticipates will be in 2021.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company signed a fifteen year lease for a manufacturing facility in Roseville, California (the “Roseville Lease”) which has not yet commenced as of September 30, 2019. The Roseville Lease is expected to commence upon substantial completion of lessor owned improvements to the building which the Company anticipates will be within the next twelve months.

The following table is a schedule, by years, of maturities of the Company's lease liabilities as of September 30, 2019 (in thousands):

⁽¹⁾The table above excludes the estimated future minimum lease payment for the Roseville Lease due to uncertainty around when the Roseville Lease will commence and payments will be due. The total estimated lease payments over the fifteen year lease term is approximately $40.9 million. In addition, the Company anticipates to make approximately $14 million in prepaid rental payments to the lessor prior to the lease commencement date of which $4.1 million has been paid and is presented in other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. The table also excludes lease payments that were not fixed at commencement or modification date.

⁽²⁾The table above excludes the estimated future minimum lease payment for the 1310 Harbor Bay Lease due to uncertainty around the timing of when the 1310 Harbor Bay Lease will commence and payments will be due. The total estimated lease payments over the fifteen year lease term will be calculated based on the total development costs incurred in connection with the development of the building which will be determined upon substantial completion of the building.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Royalty Obligations

In March 2005, the Company entered into a license agreement that requires the Company to make minimum royalty payments to the licensor on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2018, the license agreement required minimum annual royalty payments of $0.1 million in equal quarterly installments. On each January 1, the quarterly calendar year minimum royalty shall be adjusted to equal the prior year’s minimum royalty adjusted by a percentage equal to the percentage change in the “consumer price index for all urban consumers” for the prior calendar year as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor. Unless terminated earlier, the term of the license agreement shall continue until the expiration of the last to expire patent that covers that licensed product or for the period of fifteen years following the first commercial sale of such licensed product, whichever is longer. The first commercial sale of covered products occurred in June 2007. In July 2019, the Company amended the license agreement to extend the term for an additional ten years. As of September 30, 2019, the amended license agreement required minimum annual royalty payments of $0.3 million in equal quarterly installments through 2027.

In April 2012, the Company entered into an agreement that requires the Company to pay, on a quarterly basis, a 5% royalty on sales of products covered under applicable patents. The first commercial sale of covered products occurred in April 2014. Unless terminated earlier, the royalty term for each applicable product shall continue for fifteen years following the first commercial sale of such patented product, or when the applicable patent covering such product has expired, whichever is sooner.

In November 2013, the Company entered into an agreement that required the Company to pay, on a quarterly basis, a 3% royalty on the first $5.0 million in sales and a 1% royalty on sales thereafter of products covered under applicable patents. The agreement was terminated effective January 1, 2018.

In April 2015, the Company entered into a royalty agreement that required the Company to pay a 2% royalty on sales of certain products covered by the agreement, on a quarterly basis, in exchange for certain trade secrets and processes which were used to develop such covered products. The Company began the first commercial sale of the covered products in July 2015. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a buyout agreement (the “Buyout Agreement”) in which future royalty payments under the royalty agreement were canceled in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $5.3 million. The Company recorded an intangible asset equal to the $5.3 million buyout amount which will be amortized into cost of sales over the period in which the Company receives future economic benefit. After determining that the pattern of future cash flows associated with this intangible asset could not be reliably estimated with a high level of precision, the Company concluded that the intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. For more information refer to Note “10. Stockholders’ Equity.”

Royalty expense included in cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, was $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, was $3.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. Refer to Note “3. Investments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” Note “5. Asset Acquisitions and Business Combinations” and Note “6. Intangible Assets” for more information on contingent liabilities recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Indemnification

The Company enters into standard indemnification arrangements in the ordinary course of business. In many such arrangements, the Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified parties in connection with any trade secret, copyright, patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third-party with respect to the Company’s technology. The Company also agrees to indemnify many indemnified parties for product defect and similar claims. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made.

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual.

The Company has not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. No liability associated with any of these indemnification requirements has been recorded to date.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is subject to other claims and assessments in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently a party to any such litigation matter that, individually or in the aggregate, is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company issued 53,256 fully vested restricted stock units with a fair value of $5.3 million in connection with the Buyout Agreement, as discussed in Note “9. Commitments and Contingencies.” The Company recorded the $5.3 million fair value of the shares issued to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheet upon the issuance of the awards, with the associated expense being amortized into cost of sales over the period in which the Company receives future economic benefit from the buyout.

The total stock-based compensation cost capitalized in inventory was $0.6 million and $0.4 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

11. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components: unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s available-for-sale marketable investments and gains or losses from foreign currency translation adjustments. Until realized and reported as a component of net income (loss), these comprehensive income (loss) items accumulate and are included within accumulated other comprehensive loss. Unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s marketable investments are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings when realized upon sale, and are determined based on specific identification of securities sold. Gains and losses from the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

12. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. The Company is subject to income taxes in both the United States and foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.

During interim periods, the Company generally utilizes the estimated annual effective tax rate method which involves the use of forecasted information. Under this method, the provision is calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pretax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. Jurisdictions with tax assets for which the Company believes a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded from the computation of its annual effective tax rate.

The Company’s provision for income taxes remained relatively flat which increased to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The Company’s provision for income taxes was $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $5.3 million of tax

benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change in the tax provision was primarily due to a higher tax provision attributable to worldwide profits and lower stock-based compensation excess tax benefits.

The Company’s effective tax rate changed to 15.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to (8.0)% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the discrete tax charge resulting from the non-deductible acquired in-process research and development expense associated with the MVI asset acquisition recorded in 2018. The Company’s effective tax rate changed to 1.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 92.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the discrete tax charge resulting from the non-deductible acquired in-process research and development expense associated with the MVI asset acquisition recorded in 2018. It was also driven by lower stock-based compensation excess tax benefits and higher worldwide profits diluting the impact of such tax benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The 2017 Tax Reform Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax regime. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provided a measurement period, that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Reform Act enactment date. In the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Reform Act under FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes” based on authoritative guidance available to date. Going forward, the Company will continue to evaluate further legislative guidance associated with the Tax Reform Act and determine the tax impact on the financial statements, if any.

Significant domestic deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) were generated in recent years, primarily due to excess tax benefits from stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock. The Company evaluates all available positive and negative evidence, objective and subjective in nature, in each reporting period to determine if sufficient taxable income will be generated to realize the benefits of its DTAs and, if not, a valuation allowance to reduce the DTAs is recorded. As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company maintains a valuation allowance against its Federal Research and Development Tax Credit and California DTAs as the Company could not conclude at the required more-likely-than-not level of certainty, that the benefit of these tax attributes would be realized prior to expiration. As of September 30, 2019, the Company also maintains a valuation allowance against DTAs acquired from MVI which are subject to Separate Return Limitation Year (“SRLY”) rules that limit the utilization of the pre-acquisition tax attributes to offset future taxable income solely generated by MVI.

The Company maintains that all foreign earnings, with the exception of a portion of the earnings of its German subsidiary, are permanently reinvested outside the United States and therefore deferred taxes attributable to such are not provided for in the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2019. The Company will repatriate foreign earnings only to the extent doing so will not result in any material U.S. tax consequences. Thus, deferred taxes on any potential future repatriation of a portion of the earnings of its German subsidiary were not reflected in the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2019.

13. Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Penumbra, Inc. Per Share

The Company’s basic net income (loss) attributable to Penumbra, Inc. per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Penumbra, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The diluted net income per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. For purposes of this calculation, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock sold through the Company’s employee stock purchase plan are considered common stock equivalents.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of the basic and diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Numerator:
Net income (loss) attributable to Penumbra, Inc.	$	11,483	$	(18,930)	$	38,769	$	(58)



Denominator:
Weighted average shares used to compute net income:
Basic	34,840,370		34,248,484		34,681,846		34,057,216

Diluted	36,271,394		34,248,484		36,243,222		34,057,216
Net income (loss) attributable to Penumbra, Inc. per share from:
Basic	$	0.33	$	(0.55)	$	1.12	$	—
Diluted	$	0.32	$	(0.55)	$	1.07	$	—

Outstanding common stock equivalents of 65 thousand and 2.3 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 76 thousand and 2.3 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net income attributable to Penumbra, Inc. per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

14. Revenues

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services. All revenue recognized in the income statement is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers.

The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by geography, based on the destination to which the Company ships its products, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018

Performance Obligations

Delivery of products - The Company’s contracts with customers typically contain a single performance obligation, delivery of Penumbra products. Satisfaction of that performance obligation occurs when control of the promised goods transfers to the customer, which is generally upon shipment for non-consignment sale agreements and upon utilization for consignment sale agreements.

Payment terms - The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer. The timing between fulfillment of performance obligations and when payment is due is not significant and does not give rise to financing transactions. The Company did not have any contracts with significant financing components as of September 30, 2019.

Product returns - The Company may allow customers to return products purchased at the Company’s discretion. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company currently estimates product return liabilities using its own historic sales information, trends, industry data, and other relevant data points.

Warranties - The Company offers its standard warranty to all customers and it is not available for sale on a standalone basis. The Company’s standard warranty represents its guarantee that its products function as intended, are free from defects, and comply with agreed-upon specifications and quality standards. This assurance does not constitute a service and is not a separate performance obligation.

Transaction Price

Revenue is recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration such as product returns utilizing historical return rates, rebates, discounts, and other adjustments to net revenue. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price. When determining if variable consideration should be constrained, management considers whether there are factors that could result in a significant reversal of revenue and the likelihood of a potential reversal. Variable consideration is included in revenue only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. These estimates are reassessed each reporting period as required. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company made no changes in estimates for variable consideration. When the Company performs shipping and handling activities after control of goods is transferred to the customer, they are considered as fulfillment activities, and costs are accrued for when the related revenue is recognized. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.

Overview

Penumbra (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Penumbra,” and the “Company”) is a global healthcare company focused on innovative therapies. We design, develop, manufacture and market medical devices and have a broad portfolio of products that addresses challenging medical conditions and significant clinical needs across our major markets. Our team focuses on developing, manufacturing and marketing products for use by specialist physicians to drive improved clinical outcomes. We believe that the cost-effectiveness of our products is attractive to our hospital customers.

Since our founding in 2004, we have invested heavily in our product development capabilities in our major markets: neuro and vascular. We launched our first neuro product in 2007, our first vascular product in 2013 and our first neurosurgical product in 2014. We expect to continue to develop and build our portfolio of products based on our thrombectomy, embolization and access technologies. Generally, when we introduce a next generation product or a new product designed to replace a current product, sales of the earlier generation product or the product replaced decline. Our research and development activities are centered around the development of new products and clinical activities designed to support our regulatory submissions and demonstrate the effectiveness of our products.

To address the challenging and significant clinical needs of our two key markets, we developed products that fall into the following broad product offering families:

Our neuro products fall into four broad product families:

•Neuro thrombectomy - Penumbra System designed for mechanical thrombectomy, including Penumbra JET and ACE reperfusion catheters, aspiration tubing, aspiration pump, and the 3D Revascularization Device

•Neuro embolization - Penumbra SMART COIL, Penumbra Coil 400, POD400, PAC400 and PX SLIM

•Neuro access - delivery catheters, consisting of Neuron, Neuron MAX, Select, BENCHMARK and DDC

•Neurosurgical - Artemis Neuro Evacuation Device

Our vascular products fall into two broad product families:

•Vascular thrombectomy - Indigo System designed for mechanical thrombectomy, including aspiration catheters, separators, aspiration pump and accessories

•Vascular embolization - Ruby Coil System, POD System (POD and POD Packing Coil) and the LANTERN Delivery Microcatheter

We sell our products to hospitals primarily through our direct sales organization in the United States, most of Europe, Canada and Australia, as well as through distributors in select international markets. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 35.6% and 35.2% of our revenue, respectively, was generated from customers located outside of the United States. Our sales outside of the United States are denominated principally in the euro and Japanese yen, with some sales being denominated in other currencies. As a result, we have foreign exchange exposure, but do not currently engage in hedging.

We generated revenue of $402.1 million and $324.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $78.0 million. We generated operating income of $36.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We generated an operating loss of $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of the $30.8 million acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) charge recorded in connection with the acquisition of a controlling interest in MVI which was accounted for as an asset acquisition in the third quarter of 2018.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

There are a number of factors that have impacted, and we believe will continue to impact, our results of operations and growth. These factors include:

•The rate at which we grow our salesforce and the speed at which newly hired salespeople become fully effective can impact our revenue growth or our costs incurred in anticipation of such growth.

•Our industry is intensely competitive and, in particular, we compete with a number of large, well-capitalized companies. We must continue to successfully compete in light of our competitors’ existing and future products and their resources to successfully market to the specialist physicians who use our products.

•We must continue to successfully introduce new products that gain acceptance with specialist physicians and successfully transition from existing products to new products, ensuring adequate supply. In addition, as we introduce new products, we generally hire and train additional personnel and build our inventory of components and finished goods in advance of sales, which may cause quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition.

•Publications of clinical results by us, our competitors and other third parties can have a significant influence on whether, and the degree to which, our products are used by specialist physicians and the procedures and treatments those physicians choose to administer for a given condition.

•The specialist physicians who use our products may not perform procedures during certain times of the year, such as those periods when they are at major medical conferences or are away from their practices for other reasons, the timing of which occurs irregularly during the year and from year to year.

•Most of our sales outside of the United States are denominated in the local currency of the country in which we sell our products. As a result, our revenue from international sales can be significantly impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

In addition, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience meaningful variability in our quarterly revenue, gross profit and gross margin percentage as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the number of available selling days, which can be impacted by holidays; the mix of products sold; the geographic mix of where products are sold; the demand for our products and the products of our competitors; the timing of or failure to obtain regulatory approvals or clearances for products; increased competition; the timing of customer orders; inventory write-offs due to obsolescence; costs, benefits and timing of new product introductions; costs, benefits and timing of the acquisition and integration of businesses and product lines we may acquire; the availability and cost of components and raw materials; and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We may experience quarters in which we have significant revenue growth sequentially followed by quarters of moderate or no revenue growth. Additionally, we may experience quarters in which operating expenses, in particular research and development expenses, fluctuate depending on the stage and timing of product development.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue. We sell our products directly to hospitals and through distributors for use in procedures performed by specialist physicians to treat patients in two key markets: neuro and vascular disease. We sell our products through purchase orders, and we do not have long term purchase commitments from our customers. Revenue from product sales is recognized either on the date of shipment or the date of receipt by the customer. With respect to products that we consign to hospitals, which primarily consist of coils, we recognize revenue at the time hospitals utilize products in a procedure. Revenue also includes shipping and handling costs that we charge to customers.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of raw materials and components, personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, inbound freight charges, receiving costs, inspection and testing costs, warehousing costs, royalty expense, shipping and handling costs and other labor and overhead costs incurred in the manufacturing of products. We manufacture substantially all of our products in our manufacturing facility at our campus in Alameda, California.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development (R&D). R&D expenses primarily consist of product development, clinical and regulatory expenses, materials, depreciation and other costs associated with the development of our products. R&D expenses also include salaries,

Table of Contents

benefits and other related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel and consultants. We expense R&D costs as they are incurred.

Sales, General and Administrative (SG&A). SG&A expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits and other related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel and consultants engaged in sales, marketing, finance, legal, compliance, administrative, facilities and information technology and human resource activities. Our SG&A expenses also include marketing trials, medical education, training, commissions, generally based on sales, to direct sales representatives, amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related costs.

Income Tax Expense. We are taxed at the rates applicable within each jurisdiction in which we operate. The composite income tax rate, tax provisions, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities will vary according to the jurisdiction in which profits arise. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by management and the respective governmental taxing authorities, and require us to exercise judgment in determining our income tax provision, our deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities and the potential valuation allowance recorded against our net DTAs. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that the future realization of all or some of the DTAs will not be achieved.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

Revenue


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Change

Total	$	139,502	$	111,806	$	27,696	24.8	%

Revenue increased $27.7 million, or 24.8%, to $139.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, from $111.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our revenue growth resulted from further market penetration of our existing products and sales of new products. Sales within our neuro and vascular businesses accounted for approximately 30% and 70% of the revenue increase, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2019. These revenue increases take into account a shift in revenue from neuro to vascular as a result of our peripheral embolization launch in Japan in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Revenue from our neuro products increased $8.6 million, or 11.5%, to $83.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, from $74.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. This was primarily attributable to increased sales of our Penumbra System which accounted for slightly less than 85% of the total change in neuro revenue, respectively. Our neuro thrombectomy product sales experienced strong momentum due to further market penetration and growth in the market for endovascular treatment of stroke, which led to an increase in the number of procedures performed by specialist physicians using these products.This growth was partially offset by a decrease in sales of our neuro embolization products, which decreased by approximately 20% of the total change in neuro revenue, as demand for our neuro embolization products fluctuates from period to period due to the number of procedures performed. The decrease was also attributable to shifts in revenue from neuro to vascular as discussed above. Prices for our neuro products remained substantially unchanged during the period.

Revenue from our vascular products increased $19.1 million, or 51.6%, to $56.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, from $37.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was driven by sales of our Indigo System products which accounted for approximately half of the vascular revenue increase in the three months ended September 30, 2019. This was primarily attributable to further market penetration which led to increases in the number of procedures performed by specialist physicians using our products. Prices for our vascular products remained substantially unchanged during the period.

The increase was primarily due to a $8.3 million increase in personnel-related expenses largely attributable to an increase in headcount to support our growth, and a $1.8 million increase related to marketing events.

As we continue to invest in our growth, we have expanded and expect to continue to expand our sales, marketing, general and administrative teams through the hiring of additional employees. In addition, we have experienced in the past, and may continue to experience in the future, variability in expenses incurred due to the timing and costs of investments in infrastructure to support the business.

Our provision for income taxes remained relatively flat, increasing by $0.4 million to $2.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, from $1.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Our effective tax rate changed to 15.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2019, from (8.0)% in the three months ended September 30, 2018. The change in our effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the discrete tax charge recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2018, resulting from the non-deductible acquired in-process research and development expense associated with the MVI asset acquisition.

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes	$	683		$	(5,288)		$	5,971	(112.9)	%
Effective tax rate	1.8		%	92.1		%

Our provision for income taxes increased by $6.0 million to $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, from $5.3 million of tax benefit in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to a higher tax provision from worldwide profits and lower stock-based compensation excess tax benefits.

Our effective tax rate changed to 1.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, from 92.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change in our effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the discrete tax charge resulting from the acquired in-process research and development expense associated with the MVI asset acquisition in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change was also driven by lower stock-based compensation excess tax benefits and higher worldwide profits diluting the impact of such tax benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Prospectively, our effective tax rate will likely be driven by (1) permanent differences in taxable income for tax and financial reporting purposes, (2) tax expense attributable to our worldwide profits, and (3) discrete tax adjustments such as excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation. Our income tax provision is subject to volatility as the amount of excess tax benefits can fluctuate from period to period based on the price of our stock, the volume of share-based grants settled or vested, and the fair value assigned to equity awards under U.S. GAAP. In addition, changes in tax law or our interpretation thereof, and changes to our valuation allowance could result with fluctuations in our effective tax rate.

As of September 30, 2019, we had $365.2 million in working capital, which included $111.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $82.9 million in marketable investments. As of September 30, 2019, we held approximately 20.2% of our cash and cash equivalents in foreign entities.

In March 2017, we issued and sold an aggregate of 1,495,000 shares of our common stock at public offering price of $76.00 per share, less the underwriters’ discounts and commissions, pursuant to an underwritten public offering. We received approximately $106.3 million in net cash proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $6.8 million and other offering expenses of $0.5 million. We will continue to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, continued development of our products, including research and development and clinical trials, potential acquisitions and other business opportunities. Pending the use of the net proceeds from this offering, we are investing the net proceeds in investment grade, interest bearing securities.

In addition to our existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable investment balances, our principal source of liquidity is our accounts receivable. We believe our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our principal liquidity requirements are to fund our operations, which includes, but is not limited to, maintaining sufficient levels of inventory to meet the anticipated demand of our customers, funding research and development activities and funding our capital expenditures. We may also lease or purchase additional facilities to facilitate our growth. We expect to continue to make investments as we launch new products, expand our manufacturing operations and further expand into international markets. We may, however, require or elect to secure additional financing as we continue to execute our business strategy. If we require or elect to raise additional funds, we may do so through equity or debt financing, which may not be available on favorable terms, which could result in dilution to our stockholders and could require us to agree to covenants that limit our operating flexibility.

The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents, marketable investments and selected working capital data as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items (including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, loss on non-marketable equity investments, inventory write-downs, changes in deferred tax balances and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration), and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by operating activities was $21.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and consisted of a consolidated net income of $37.7 million and non-cash items of $25.9 million, offset by net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $41.7 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities includes an increase in inventories of $27.9 million to support our revenue growth, an increase in accounts receivable of $21.5 million, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current and non-current assets of $3.4 million, partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities of $7.8 million, and an increase in accounts payable of $3.3 million as a result of growth in our business activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $21.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and consisted of a consolidated net loss of $3.6 million and non-cash items of $48.3 million, offset by net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $23.4 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities includes an increase in accounts receivable of $23.3 million and an increase in inventories of $15.4 million to support our revenue growth, partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities of $12.8 million, an increase in accounts payable of $1.7 million as a result of the growth in our business activities and a decrease in prepaid expenses, and other current and non-current assets of $0.7 million.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities relates primarily to proceeds from maturities and sales of marketable investments, partially offset by purchases of marketable investments, capital expenditures and contributions towards non-marketable investments.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $31.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and consisted of proceeds from maturities and sales of marketable investments, net of purchases, of $51.2 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $14.1 million, and payments for leases that have not yet commenced of $4.1 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $10.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and consisted of payments for the MVI asset acquisition, net of cash acquired, of $19.9 million, capital expenditures of $6.6 million, and contributions to non-marketable investments of $1.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from maturities and sales of marketable investments, net of purchases, of $17.8 million.

Net Cash Used In Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities primarily relates to payments of employee taxes related to vested restricted stock and restricted stock units and certain acquisition-related payments, partially offset by proceeds from exercises of stock options.

Net cash used in financing activities was $8.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and primarily consisted of $16.1 million of payments of employee taxes related to vested restricted stock and restricted stock units and $1.2 million primarily related to contingent consideration payments made in the first quarter of 2019 in connection with our acquisition in 2017. This was partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of stock under our employee stock purchase plan of $4.8 million and proceeds from stock option exercises of $3.6 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $13.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and primarily consisted of $16.0 million of payments of employee taxes related to vested restricted stock and restricted stock units and $4.4 million of payments made in 2018 in connection with our acquisition in 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have prepared our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses recorded during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, other than the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 during the first quarter of 2019. The impact of adoption and its effects on our accounting policies and estimates are described in Note “2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note “8. Leases” to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

For information with respect to recently issued accounting standards and the impact of these standards on our condensed consolidated financial statements, see Note “2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We are exposed to various market risks, which may result in potential losses arising from adverse changes in market rates, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and do not believe we are exposed to material market risk with respect to our cash and cash equivalents and/or our marketable investments.

Interest Rate Risk. We had cash and cash equivalents of $111.6 million as of September 30, 2019, which consisted of funds held in general checking and savings accounts. In addition, we had marketable investments of $82.9 million, which consisted primarily of commercial paper, corporate bonds, non-U.S. government debt securities, U.S. agency and government sponsored securities, U.S. states and municipalities and U.S. Treasury. Our investment policy is focused on the preservation of capital and supporting our liquidity needs. Under the policy, we invest in highly rated securities, while limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer other than the U.S. government. We do not invest in financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor do we use leveraged financial instruments. We utilize external investment managers who adhere to the guidelines of our investment policy. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material impact on the value of our cash and cash equivalents or marketable investments.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management. We operate in countries other than the United States, and, therefore, we are exposed to foreign currency risks. We bill most sales outside of the United States in local currencies, primarily euro and Japanese yen, with some sales being denominated in other currencies. We expect that the percentage of our sales denominated in foreign currencies may increase in the foreseeable future as we continue to expand into international markets. When sales or expenses are not denominated in U.S. dollars, a fluctuation in exchange rates could affect our net income. We do not believe our net income would be materially impacted by an immediate 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates. We do not currently hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; however, we may choose to hedge our exposure in the future.

We do not believe that inflation and changes in prices had a significant impact on our results of operations for any periods presented on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation as of September 30, 2019 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”), as controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective at September 30, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met and, as set forth above, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.
