The Company estimates an allowance for credit losses with its accounts receivable resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In determining the adequacy of the allowance, management specifically analyzes individual accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, accounts receivable aging trends, and changes in the Company’s customer payment terms.

The components of the Company’s accounts receivable are as follows:

A summary of activity in the allowance for credit losses is as follows:

The Company has certain cash equivalents in money market funds that are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets. For cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable, and accrued interest, the carrying amounts approximate fair value, because of the short maturity of these instruments, and therefore fair value information is not included in the table below. There were no transfers between fair value levels during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The classification of the Company’s cash equivalents within the fair value hierarchy was as follows:

Inventories consist of the following:

Inventories are stated net of inventory reserves of approximately $13.6 million and $11.7 million, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consist of the following:

In certain of its contracts, the Company warrants to its customers that the products it manufactures conform to the product specifications as in effect at the time of delivery of the specific product. The Company may also warrant that the products it manufactures do not infringe, violate, or breach any U.S. or international patent or intellectual property right, trade secret, or other proprietary information of any third party. On occasion, the Company contractually indemnifies its customers against any and all losses arising out of, or in any way connected with, any claim or claims of breach of its warranties or any actual or alleged defect in any product caused by the negligent acts or omissions of the Company. The Company maintains a products liability insurance policy that limits its exposure to these risks. Based on the Company’s historical activity, in combination with its liability insurance coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is immaterial. The Company hadno accrued warranties as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023 and has no history of claims paid.

The Company is also involved from time-to-time in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business.

Equity Incentive Plan

The Anika Therapeutics, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders on June 13, 2017 and subsequently amended on June 18, 2019, June 16, 2020, June 16, 2021, June 8, 2022 and June 14, 2023. On June 14, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2017 Plan increasing the number of shares by 435,000 shares from 4,850,000 shares to 5,285,000 shares. The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock awards, performance restricted stock units (“PSUs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), total shareholder return options (“TSRs”) and performance options that may be settled in cash, stock, or other property. In accordance with the 2017 Plan approved by the Company’s stockholders, including the amendments thereto, each share award other than stock options or SARs will reduce the number of total shares available for grant bytwo shares. Subject to adjustment for specified types of changes in the Company’s capitalization, no more than 4.6 million shares of common stock may be issued under the 2017 Plan. There were 0.7 million shares available for future grant at March 31, 2024 under the 2017 Plan.

Anika Therapeutics, Inc. 2021 Inducement Plan (the “Inducement Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s board of directors on November 4, 2021 and subsequently amended on December 22, 2023. On December 22, 2023, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Inducement Plan increasing the number of shares by 125,000 shares from 125,000 to 250,000 shares. The Inducement Plan reserves 250,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to equity-based awards granted under the Inducement Plan. Such awards may be granted only to an individual who was not previously the Company’s employee or director with the Company. The Inducement Plan provides for the grant of awards under terms substantially similar to the 2017 Plan (as amended). There were 0.1 million shares available for future grant at March 31, 2024 under the Inducement Plan.

The Company may satisfy the awards upon exercise, or upon fulfillment of the vesting requirements for other equity-based awards, with either newly issued shares or shares reacquired by the Company. Stock-based awards are granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Awards contain service conditions or service and performance conditions, and they generally become exercisable ratably over three years with a maximum contractual term often years.

The Company presents the expenses related to stock-based compensation awards in the same expense line items as cash compensation paid to each of its employees as follows (in thousands):

Stock Options

Stock options are granted to purchase common shares at prices that are equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date the options are granted or, in the case of premium options, are granted with an exercise price at 110% of the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Options generally vest in equal annual installments over a period ofthree years and expire 10 years after the date of grant. The grant-date fair value of options is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

The following summarizes the activity under the Company’s stock option plans:

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 was immaterial. The Company granted 426,925 stock options during the three-month ended March 31, 2024.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted. The calculation of the fair value of stock options is affected by the stock price on the grant date, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock over the expected term of the award, the expected life of the award, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield.

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model for options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, along with the weighted-average grant-date fair values, were as follows:

As of March 31, 2024, there was $9.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs generally vest in equal annual installments over athree-year period. The grant-date fair value of RSUs is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Company determines the fair value of RSUs based on the closing price of its common stock on the date of grant.

RSU activity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 was as follows:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of RSUs granted was $25.44 and $26.91 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The total fair value of RSUs vested was $7.7 million and $5.7 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, there was $8.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to time-based RSUs, which was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

The Company’s annual grant of RSU awards in March 2024 can be settled at vesting in cash or shares at the Company’s election. The Company has recorded these RSUs as a liability due to the expectation that the Company will settle the vesting of the March 2024 RSU awards in cash due to a potential shortage of shares in the 2017 Plan at the time of vesting. As a result, these RSUs will be subject to change in value at the time of each reporting period. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 405,917 shares outstanding in which a liability of $0.2 million was recorded in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities.

The income tax expense was immaterial for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, resulting in an effective tax rate of (1.0%). The income tax benefit was $1.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, resulting in an effective tax rate of 13.9%. The net change in the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to a full valuation allowance being recorded against domestic deferred tax assets at March 31, 2024.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations. The Company has incurred operating losses in recent years. As a result, the Company anticipates that deferred tax assets originating during the year ended December 31, 2024 will exceed the availability of reversing taxable temporary differences. Due to significant negative evidence, including the Company’s prior year operating losses, the Company concluded its anticipated net deferred tax assets in the U.S. are not more likely than not to be realizable. Accordingly, the estimated annual effective tax rate used to compute the income tax provision for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 includes an adjustment for the valuation allowance required against the U.S deferred tax assets. As of March 31, 2024, the Company continues to believe its foreign deferred tax assets are realizable based upon future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and projected future taxable income.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States on a federal basis, in certain U.S. states, and in certain foreign jurisdictions. The associated tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate, which varies by jurisdiction.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Unvested restricted shares, although legally issued and outstanding, are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating basic EPS. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding share-based awards using the treasury stock method. Due to the Company’s loss position, the share-based payment awards are anti-dilutive.

The Company had a net loss during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and therefore all potential common shares would have been anti-dilutive and accordingly were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. Stock options of 2.2 million shares and 1.9 million shares were outstanding for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Restricted stock units totaling 0.9 million were outstanding for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. These securities were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the awards’ impact on EPS would have been anti-dilutive.
