Current report

The Neuromodulation segment also includesthe VNS Therapy System for the adjunctive treatment of chronic or recurrent depression for patients 18 years or older who are experiencing a major depressive episode and have not had an adequate response to four or more antidepressant treatments. LivaNova initiated the RECOVER clinical study, a CMS-approved, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, in connection with its request that CMS reconsider its previous non-coverage determination.

Current report

In June 2024, the Company announced the preliminary results for the unipolar patient cohort of the RECOVER clinical study, assessing the use of VNS Therapy in treatment-resistant depression. The study did not meet its primary endpoint for the unipolar cohort; however, statistical significance was achieved in select secondary endpoints. The Company expects to publish the unipolar cohort data, including details on the primary endpoint and secondary endpoints, in peer-reviewed journals in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company intends to continue pursuing coverage for VNS Therapy while reducing investment in the DTD program in 2025.

Current report

Neuromodulation net revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased 7.3% to $142.9 million and 9.0% to $276.7 million, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, with growth across all regions, driven by an increase in total implants.

Current report

R&D expense of $8.1 million and $16.8 million for the three and six-month comparative periods, respectively, associated with winding down the Company’s heart failure program, which was completed during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Current report

Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenue was 31.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 1.1 percentage points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in the reserve associated with the Italian medtech payback measure, as well as unfavorable product mix. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenue was 30.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of 1.4 percentage points compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a reduction in the fair value of sales-based contingent consideration arrangements totaling $4.7 million, partially offset by unfavorable product mix and an increase in the reserve associated with the Italian medtech payback measure. For additional information, refer to “Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies” and “Note 3. Fair Value Measurements” in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report.

Previous report

Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenue was 29.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of 4.2 percentage points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to favorable product mix from the wind down of the ACS segment resulting from the 2024 Restructuring Plan, as well as the net impact of the change in fair value of sales-based contingent consideration arrangements totaling $3.2 million.

Previous wording

Prior to the first quarter of 2024, LivaNova operated through three segments: Cardiopulmonary, Neuromodulation and ACS. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company reorganized its operating and reporting structure upon initiating the 2024 Restructuring Plan. This involved transitioning all ACS standalone cannulae and accessories, including ProtekDuo and transseptal (TandemHeart) cannulae, into its Cardiopulmonary segment. Operations for other ACS products, including LifeSPARC and Hemolung systems, will be discontinued by the end of 2024. For additional information, please refer to “Note 2. Restructuring” in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report. This restructuring, along with changes in how the Company’s CODM regularly reviews information, allocates resources and assesses performance, resulted in modifications to LivaNova’s reportable segments. Specifically, the ACS segment is now included in “Other,” excluding the ACS standalone cannulae and accessories business, which is now included in the Cardiopulmonary reportable segment. As a result, LivaNova now has two reportable segments: Cardiopulmonary and Neuromodulation. For further information regarding LivaNova’s reportable segments, historical financial information and its methodology for the presentation of financial results, please refer to the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of this Report.

On July 11, 2023, the UK Act implemented the Pillar Two framework, providing a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, including both a multinational top-up tax and a domestic top-up tax for accounting periods beginning on or after December 31, 2023. The UK Act also included a transitional safe harbor election for accounting periods beginning on or before December 31, 2026. Draft UK legislation has also been published for a UTPR to be introduced, although not before accounting periods beginning on or after December 31, 2024. The UTPR is intended to ensure that amounts of multinational top-up tax that are not collected under foreign global minimum tax rules can, in certain circumstances, be collected instead in the UK. This minimum tax is treated as a period cost beginning in 2024 and has not had a material impact on the Company's financial results of operations for the current period. LivaNova will continue to monitor related guidance in the UK and other jurisdictions that impact LivaNova’s operations.
