Current report

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we made the strategic decision to explore alternative avenues for our Immersive Healthcare business, and as a result we recorded an impairment charge of $110.3 million related to our immersive healthcare asset group. Refer to Note “4. Impairment of Immersive Healthcare Asset Group” to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more details.

Current report

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures such as non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin. Our management believes the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed are useful to investors in assessing the operating performance of our business and provide meaningful comparisons to prior periods and thus a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We consider non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin useful metrics to investors as they eliminate the impact of non-cash inventory charges related to the impairment of our immersive healthcare asset group and allow a more direct comparison of our business performance between periods.

Current report

The non-GAAP financial measures included may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to GAAP measures. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures set forth below and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Current report

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company’s GAAP cost of revenue, GAAP gross profit and GAAP gross margin to non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin 1 for the three months ended June 30, 2024:

Current report

Our benefit from income taxes was $17.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which was primarily due to tax expenses attributable to our worldwide profits offset by a discrete tax benefit attributable to the impairment charge related to our immersive healthcare asset group.

Current report

Our effective tax rate changed to 22.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from 2.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to decrease in excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation attributable to our U.S. jurisdiction in 2024.

Previous wording

We expect to continue to develop and build our portfolio of products, including our thrombectomy, embolization, access and immersive healthcare technologies, while iterating on our currently available products. 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.

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 or benefit attributable to our worldwide financial results, and (3) discrete tax adjustments such as excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to stock-based compensation. Our income tax provision can be volatile as the amount of excess tax benefits or deficiencies can fluctuate from period to period due to the price of our stock, the volume of share-based grants exercised 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 in fluctuations in our effective tax rate.
