STAAR SURGICAL COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of STAAR Surgical Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Commission. In accordance with those rules and regulations certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Comprehensive Financial Statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2 2021, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

Each of the Company’s fiscal reporting periods ends on the Friday nearest to the quarter ending date and generally consists of 13 weeks.  Unless the context indicates otherwise “we,” “us,” the “Company,” and “STAAR” refer to STAAR Surgical Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Vendor Concentration

There were no vendors that accounted for over 10 % of the Company’s consolidated accounts payable as of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021.  There were no vendors that accounted for over 10 % of the Company’s consolidated purchases for the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, respectively.

The Company entered into operating leases primarily related to real property (office, manufacturing and warehouse facilities), automobiles and copiers.  These operating leases are two to ten years in length with options to extend.  The Company does not include any lease extensions in the initial valuation unless the Company was reasonably certain to extend the lease.  Depending on the lease, there are those with fixed payment amounts for the entire length of the contract or payments which increase periodically as noted in the contract or increased at an inflation rate indicator.  For operating leases that increase using an inflation rate indicator, the Company used the inflation rate at the time the lease was entered into for the length of the lease term. Supplemental balance sheet information related to operating leases consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

The Company’s effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21 % for the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, respectively, primarily due to the income taxes generated in foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 was lower than the same period in 2021 primarily due to jurisdictions in which the income is earned.

Note 10 — Stockholders’ Equity (Continued)

Incentive Plan

The Amended and Restated Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“the Plan”) provides for various forms of stock-based incentives. To date, of the available forms of awards under the Plan, the Company has granted only stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted share grants, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”). Options under the Plan are granted at fair market value on the date of grant, become exercisable generally over a three-year period, or as determined by the Board of Directors, and expire over periods not exceeding 10 years from the date of grant. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control and pre-established financial metrics are met (as defined in the Plan). Grants of restricted stock outstanding under the Plan generally vest over periods of one to three years . Grants of RSUs and PSUs outstanding under the Plan generally vest based on service, performance, or a combination of both.  As of July 1, 2022, there were 2,156,185 shares available for grant under the Plan.

Assumptions

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model applying the weighted-average assumptions noted in the following table.  Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected term of options granted is derived from the historical exercises and post-vesting cancellations and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  The Company has calculated a 5 % estimated forfeiture rate based on historical forfeiture experience. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve corresponding to the expected term at the time of the grant.

In December 2019, COVID-19 surfaced and in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic related to the rapid spread of COVID-19 around the world.  The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the businesses and the economy in the U.S. and the rest of the world is, and is expected to continue to be, uncertain and may continue to be significant as COVID-19 variant strains emerge. The Company’s revenues have been adversely impacted, and the Company experienced a substantial slowdown in sales beginning March 20, 2020 in global geographies characterized as “hot spots” for the COVID-19 virus, including parts of Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East and India.  In certain of these markets, sales have paused as elective surgeries are discouraged to support COVID-19 related needs.  The Company continues to monitor the commercial and operational impact of new variants of COVID-19.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The matters addressed in this Item 2 that are not historical information constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Readers can recognize forward-looking statements by the use of words like “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will,” “should,” “forecast” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements about any of the following: any projections of or guidance as to earnings, revenue, sales, profit margins, expense rate, cash, effective tax rate, product mix, capital expense or any other financial items; the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures (including but not limited to their impact on sales, operations or clinical trials globally), the plans, strategies, and objectives of management for future operations or prospects for achieving such plans; statements regarding new, existing, or improved products, including but not limited to, expectations for success of new, existing, and improved products in the U.S. or international markets or government approval of a new or improved products; commercialization of new or improved products; future economic conditions or size of market opportunities; expected costs of operations; statements of belief, including as to achieving 2022 business plans; expected regulatory activities and approvals, product launches, and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are inherently subject to risks and we can give no assurance that our expectations will prove to be correct. Actual results could differ from those described in this report because of numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, without limitation, those described in in our Annual Report on Form 10-K in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” filed on February 23, 2022.  We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements after the date of this report to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect actual outcomes.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of STAAR, including the related notes, provided in this report.

Overview

STAAR Surgical Company designs, develops, manufactures, and sells implantable lenses for the eye and companion delivery systems used to deliver the lenses into the eye. We are the world’s leading manufacturer of intraocular lenses for patients seeking refractive vision correction, and we also make lenses for use in surgery to treat cataracts. All the lenses we make are foldable, which allows the surgeon to insert them into the eye through a small incision during minimally invasive surgery. Refractive surgery is performed to treat the type of visual disorders that have traditionally been corrected using eyeglasses or contact lenses. We refer to our lenses used in refractive surgery as “implantable Collamer® lenses” or “ICLs.” The field of refractive surgery includes both lens-based procedures, using products like our ICL family of products, and laser-based procedures like LASIK. Successful refractive surgery can correct common vision disorders such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Cataract surgery is a common outpatient procedure where the eye’s natural lens that has become cloudy with age is removed and replaced with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens (“IOL”) to restore the patient’s vision. STAAR employs a commercialization strategy that strives for sustainable profitable growth. Our goal is to position our refractive lenses throughout the world as primary and premium solutions for patients seeking visual freedom from wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses while achieving excellent visual acuity through refractive vision correction. We position our cataract IOL lenses used in surgery that treats cataracts based on quality and value.

Recent Developments

During the second quarter, net sales grew 30% and ICL units grew 42% compared to the prior year quarter. Highlights included unit growth in China up 45%, the U.S. up 36%, Japan up 41%, India up 181%, and Other Asia Pacific markets up 66%, all as compared to the prior year quarter. The U.S. commercial launch of the EVO Visian ICL family of myopia lenses (EVO) continued with the announced partnership with Joe Jonas, who earlier in the month received EVO lenses to correct his distance vision. In the next several weeks, Joe Jonas and other paid EVO ambassador influencers will share their journey to Visual Freedom via a global advertising, marketing and social media campaigns funded by STAAR regarding the EVO Visian ICL lens. We reaffirm our previously provided outlook for fiscal 2022 net sales of approximately $295 million, which takes into account currency headwinds, and a continuation of the current level of COVID-19 related challenges in China and elsewhere, offset by stronger than expected global demand for our EVO lenses. We continue to monitor the commercial and operational impact of new variants of COVID-19 in our markets, which remains uncertain at this time and may adversely affect our financial results. We are also monitoring inflation globally, which may adversely affect our financial results in the future if it persists.

Critical Accounting Estimates

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Income discusses and analyzes data in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements provided in this report, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes 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 sources. Senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Actual conditions may differ from our assumptions and actual results may differ from our estimates.

Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the six months ended July 1, 2022 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

The effective tax rates for the three months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 was 15.7% and 20.0%, respectively, and was 16.1% and 20.0%, for the six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, respectively. Our effective tax rates differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% for the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, respectively, primarily due to the income taxes generated in foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 was lower than the same period in 2021 primarily due to jurisdictions in which the income is earned.

Our future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such as changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof, and the geographic composition of our pre-tax income. We carefully monitor these factors and adjust our effective income tax rate accordingly.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that current cash, cash equivalents and future cash flow from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including working capital needs, capital expenditures and contractual obligations for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements included in this quarterly report. Our financial condition at July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021 included the following (in millions):

Commitments

Employment Agreements

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer entered into an employment agreement with the Company, effective March 1, 2015.  She and certain officers have as provisions of their agreements certain rights, including continuance of cash compensation and benefits, upon a “change in control,” which may include an acquisition of substantially all of its assets, or termination “without cause or for good reason” as defined in the employment agreements.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

During the six months ended July 1, 2022, there have been no material changes in the Company’s qualitative and quantitative market risk since the disclosure in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company.  Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  For purposes of this statement, the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including the CEO and the CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud or material errors. An internal 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations on all internal control systems, our internal control system can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of internal control is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in circumstances, or the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 1, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business.  These legal proceedings and other matters may relate to, among other things, contractual rights and obligations, employment matters, or claims of product liability.  STAAR maintains insurance coverage for various matters, including product liability and certain securities claims.  While the Company does not believe that any of the claims known is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, new claims or unexpected results of existing claims could lead to significant financial harm.

ITEM 1A.

RIS K FACTORS
