1. Basis of Presentation

Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), based in St. Paul, Minnesota, is a medical device company focused on developing and commercializing innovativesolutions for treating vascular and coronary disease. The Company’s Orbital Atherectomy Systems (“OAS”) treat calcified and fibrotic plaque in arterial vesselsthroughout the leg and heart in a few minutes of treatment time, and address many of the limitations associated with existing surgical, catheter and pharmacologicaltreatment alternatives.

The Company prepared the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related unaudited financial information in the footnotes in accordance withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission(“SEC”) for interim financial statements. The year-end consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, butdoes not include all disclosures as required by GAAP. These interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurringaccruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position, the results of its operations, itschanges in stockholders’ equity, and its cash flows for the interim periods. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with theconsolidated annual financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019. Thenature of the Company’s business is such that the results of any interim period may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affectthe reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts ofrevenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company has been impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19. The full extent to which the COVID-19pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition, including sales, expenses, reserves andallowances, manufacturing, clinical trials, research and development costs and employee-related amounts, will depend on future developments that are highlyuncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19, as well as theeconomic impact on the Company's customers and markets. The Company has made estimates of the impact of COVID-19 within these consolidated financialstatements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Acquisition

On August 5, 2019, the Company acquired the WIRION Embolic Protection System and related assets from Gardia Medical Ltd. ("Gardia"), a wholly ownedIsraeli subsidiary of Allium Medical Solutions Ltd., for a total purchase price of $16,687. The device, which received CE Mark in June 2015 and FDA clearance inMarch 2018, is a distal embolic protection filter used to capture debris that can be associated with all types of peripheral vascular intervention procedures. TheCompany acquired the device to expand its portfolio of products for physicians that treat complex peripheral arterial disease.

Upon closing, the Company made an initial $5,600 cash payment, net of transaction expenses, and issued Gardia 31,493 shares of common stock of the Companyvalued at $1,346. Following the successful completion of the manufacturing transfer of the WIRION system to the Company, the Company has agreed to payGardia an additional $10,000, half of which may be paid by the Company through an additional issuance of shares of common stock. The Company has accountedfor this transaction as an asset acquisition resulting in developed technology of $15,624 and a trade name of $760, both recognized as a component of intangibleassets, net within the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The remainder of the purchase price was recognized in property and equipment.

The purchase also includes a performance milestone payment to Gardia equal to $3,000 for each $10,000 in net revenues recognized by the Company from sales ofthe WIRION system for applications above-the-knee in excess of $30,000 during the 36 month period beginning on the earlier of the first commercial sale of thesystem by the Company or six months following successful manufacturing transfer. If payment of the performance milestone becomes probable, these additionalcosts will be added to the carrying value of the acquired assets.

6. Debt

Revolving Credit Facility

In March 2017, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). In March 2020, theCompany entered into the First Amendment to the Loan Agreement (the "Amendment"). The Amendment extended the maturity date of the Loan Agreement bytwo years, to March 31, 2022, and increased the maximum amount available under the senior, secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) to $50,000 (the“Maximum Dollar Amount”).

Advances under the Revolver may be made from time to time up to the Maximum Dollar Amount, subject to certain borrowing limitations. The Revolver bearsinterest at a floating per annum rate equal to the Wall Street Journal prime rate, less 0.75%. Interest on borrowings is due monthly and the principal balance is dueat maturity. Upon the Revolver’s maturity, any outstanding principal balance, unpaid accrued interest, and all other obligations under the Revolver will be due andpayable. The Company will incur a fee equal to 3% of the Maximum Dollar Amount upon termination of the Loan Agreement, as amended by the Amendment (the"Amended Loan Agreement"), or the Revolver for any reason prior to the date that is fifteen days prior to the maturity date, unless refinanced with SVB.

The Company’s obligations under the Amended Loan Agreement are secured by certain of the Company’s assets, including, among other things, accountsreceivable, deposit accounts, inventory, equipment, general intangibles and records pertaining to the foregoing. The collateral does not include the Company’sintellectual property, but the Company has agreed not to encumber its intellectual property without the consent of SVB. The Amended Loan Agreement containscustomary covenants limiting the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur debt or liens, make certain investments and loans, enter into transactions withaffiliates, undergo certain fundamental changes, dispose of assets, or change the nature of its business. In addition, the Amended Loan Agreement containsfinancial covenants requiring the Company to maintain, at all times when any amounts are outstanding under the Revolver, either (i) minimum unrestricted cash atSVB and unused availability on the Revolver of at least $10,000 or (ii) minimum trailing three-month Adjusted EBITDA of $1,000. If the Company does notcomply with the various covenants under the Amended Loan Agreement or an event of default under the Amended Loan Agreement occurs, such as a materialadverse change, the interest rate on outstanding amounts will increase by 5% and SVB may, subject to various customary cure rights and the other terms andconditions of the Amended Loan Agreement, decline to provide additional advances under the Revolver, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstandingunder the Revolver, and foreclose on all collateral.

The Company is required to pay a fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the unused portion of the Revolver, payable quarterly in arrears. The Company is not obligatedto draw any funds under the Revolver and has not done so under the Revolver since entering into the Loan Agreement. No amounts are outstanding as of March 31,2020.

Financing Obligation

In March 2017, in connection with the sale of the Company’s headquarters facility in St. Paul, Minnesota (the “Facility”), the Company entered into a LeaseAgreement to lease the Facility. The Lease Agreement has an initial term of 15 years, with four consecutive renewal options of 5 years each at the Company’soption, with a base annual rent in the first year of $1,638 and annual escalations of 3% thereafter. Rent during subsequent renewal terms will be at the then fairmarket rental rate. As the lease terms resulted in a capital lease classification, the Company accounted for the sale and leaseback of the Facility as a financingtransaction where the assets remain on the Company’s balance sheet and a financing obligation was recorded for $20,944. As lease payments are made, they will beallocated between interest expense and a reduction of the financing obligation, resulting in a value of the financing obligation that is equivalent to the net bookvalue of the assets at the end of the lease term. The effective interest rate is 7.89%. At the end of the lease (including any renewal option terms), the Company willremove the assets and financing obligation from its balance sheet.

Payments under the initial term of the Lease Agreement as of March 31, 2020 are as follows:Remainder of fiscal 2020 $ 447 Fiscal 2021 1,803 Fiscal 2022 1,857 Fiscal 2023 1,913 Fiscal 2024 1,970 Thereafter 17,405

The Company’s marketable securities classified within Level 1 are valued using real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets. Marketable securitieswithin Level 2 are valued using readily available pricing sources. There were no transfers of assets between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurementhierarchy during the nine months ended March 31, 2020. Any transfers between levels would be recognized on the date of the event or when a change incircumstances causes a transfer.

Effective July 1, 2018 the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-01. Unrealized gains and losses of marketable securities in equity investments, denoted asmutual funds, previously recognized in other comprehensive income, will now be recognized in net income as a component of other income.

Non-Marketable Equity Investments

The Company holds equity investments that do not have readily determined fair values. The Company has elected to measure these investments at cost minusimpairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.Impairment is reviewed each reporting period by performing a qualitative assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether the investment isimpaired.

As of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the carrying value of these investments were $6,343 and $5,593, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31,2020, no impairment indicators were noted. The Company is committed to funding an additional $2,250 into one of these investments in the future. Theseinvestments are recorded within other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

On November 15, 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) for the purpose of granting equity awards toemployees, directors and consultants. The 2017 Plan replaced the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), and no further equity awards may be granted underthe 2014 Plan (the 2017 Plan and the 2014 Plan are collectively referred to as the “Plans”). On March 12, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved theAmended and Restated 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, which amends the 2017 Plan.

Equity awards classified as restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock are treated as issued shares when granted; however, these shares are notincluded in the computation of basic weighted average shares outstanding. When shares vest, unless the holder elects to pay the payroll tax liability in cash orthrough a sale of shares, the Company withholds the

appropriate amount of shares to settle the payroll tax liability, on behalf of the individual receiving the shares, as an adjustment to accumulated deficit.

Restricted Stock

The value of each restricted stock award is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Vesting of time-based restrictedstock awards ranges from one year to three years. The estimated fair value of restricted stock awards, including the effect of estimated forfeitures, is recognized ona straight-line basis over the restricted stock’s vesting period.

Restricted stock award activity for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 is as follows:

Number of Shares

Weighted Average Fair

Value

Outstanding at June 30, 2019 474,945 $ 31.36 Granted 191,382 $ 46.49 Forfeited (19,807) $ 36.15 Vested (208,658) $ 29.73 Outstanding at March 31, 2020 437,862 $ 38.34

Performance-Based Restricted Stock

The Company also grants performance-based restricted stock awards to certain executives and other management. In August 2019, the Company granted anaggregate maximum of 207,891 shares that vest based on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to total shareholder return of the Company’s peer group(a market condition), as measured by the closing prices of the stock of the Company and the peer group members for the 90 trading days preceding July 1, 2019compared to the closing prices of the stock of the Company and the peer group members for the 90 trading days preceding July 1, 2022. Vesting of these awardswill be determined on the date that the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 is filed.

To calculate the estimated fair value of these restricted stock awards with market conditions, the Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation, which uses the expectedaverage stock prices to estimate the expected number of shares that will vest. The Monte Carlo simulation resulted in an aggregate fair value of approximately$6,330, which the Company will recognize as expense using the straight-line method over the period that the awards are expected to vest. Stock-basedcompensation expense related to an award with a market condition will be recognized regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that therequisite service has been provided.

Performance-based restricted stock awards granted in fiscal 2018 and 2019 that are outstanding vest based on the Company’s total shareholder return relative tototal shareholder return of the Company’s peer group (a market condition), as measured by the closing prices of the stock of the Company and the peer groupmembers for the 90 trading days preceding July 1, 2017 and July 1, 2018, respectively, compared to the closing prices of the stock of the Company and the peergroup members for the 90 trading days preceding July 1, 2020 and July 1, 2021, respectively.

9. Leases

Effective July 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 - Leases using the modified retrospective transition approachand electing the package of practical expedients. This resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of $441 and total operating lease liabilities of $463. Therewas no cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings upon adoption.

The Company leases its Texas manufacturing facilities under an operating lease agreement. During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company exercisedits option to extend the term of this lease agreement by one year, so that it now expires in April 2021. The Company also leases office equipment under leaseagreements that expire at various dates through April 2024.

The Company also leases its Minnesota headquarters facility as discussed in Note 6. This transaction did not qualify for sale leaseback accounting upon adoption ofASC 842 and continues to be accounted for as a financing obligation.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term atcommencement dates. The Company considers fixed or variable payment terms, prepayments, incentives, and options to extend, terminate or purchase. Renewal,termination or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Companyuses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments unless thelease provides an implicit interest rate.

Operating lease cost is classified within the consolidated statement of operations based on the nature of the leased asset. The Company's operating lease cost was$121 and $362 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, respectively. Cash paid for operating lease liabilities approximated operating lease cost for thenine months ended March 31, 2020. There was $437 of operating lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new lease liabilities during the nine monthsended March 31, 2020.

(2) At March 31, 2020 and 2019, 660,982 and 754,331 performance-based restricted stock awards, respectively, were outstanding. The effect of the potential vesting of theseawards has been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, and the nine months ended March 31, 2019,because those shares are anti-dilutive.

(3) At March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company included the number of shares that would be issued under its employee stock purchase plan based on the aggregate expectedamount of withholdings and the average unrecognized compensation expense as assumed proceeds. The effect of these shares has been excluded from the calculation ofdiluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, and the nine months ended March 31, 2019, because those shares are anti-dilutive.

Unvested time-based restricted stock awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and included in the computation of earningsper share pursuant to the two-class method. Under this method, earnings attributable to the Company are allocated between common stockholders and theparticipating awards, as if the awards were a second class of stock. During periods of net income, the calculation of earnings per share excludes the incomeattributable to participating securities in the numerator and the dilutive impact of these securities from the denominator. In the event of a net loss, undistributedearnings are not allocated to participating securities and the denominator excludes the dilutive impact of these securities as they do not share in the losses of theCompany. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities were based on 172,839 time-based restrictedstock awards. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, and the nine months ended March 31, 2019 there were no undistributed earnings allocatedto participating securities due to the net losses.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and the relatednotes appearing under Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forthelsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and expected financial results,includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the “Risk Factors” discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K forthe year ended June 30, 2019 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for adiscussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statementscontained in the following discussion and analysis.

OVERVIEW

We are a medical technology company leading the way in the effort to successfully treat patients living with peripheral and coronary artery diseases, includingthose with arterial calcium, the most difficult arterial disease to treat. We are committed to clinical rigor, constant innovation and a defining drive to set theindustry standard to deliver safe and effective medical devices that improve lives of patients facing these difficult disease states.

We have observed some degree of seasonality in our business, as there tends to be a lower number of procedures that use our products during the three monthsending September 30. Interventional procedure volume usually grows throughout the course of the fiscal year, with the three months ending June 30 usuallyrepresenting the highest volume of cases and, therefore, the highest amount of revenue generated during the course of the fiscal year. However, we expect that thiswill not be the case in the current fiscal year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. See below for additional discussion of the impact of the COVID-19pandemic on our business and operations.

Peripheral

Our peripheral arterial disease (“PAD”) products are catheter-based platforms capable of treating a broad range of plaque types in leg arteries both above andbelow the knee, including calcified plaque, and address many of the limitations associated with other existing surgical, catheter and pharmacological treatmentalternatives. The micro-invasive devices use small access sheaths that can provide procedural benefits, allow physicians to treat PAD patients in even the small andtortuous vessels located below the knee, and facilitate access through alternative sites in the ankle, foot and wrist, as well as in the groin.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has granted us 510(k) clearances for our Peripheral OAS as a therapy in patients with PAD, as discussedin Item 1 of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019. We refer to these products in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as the“Peripheral OAS.” In addition to our Peripheral OAS, we also offer support products within the peripheral space. Peripheral sales in the United States during thenine months ended March 31, 2020 represented 70% of revenue.

Coronary

Our coronary artery disease (“CAD”) product, the Diamondback 360 Coronary OAS (“Coronary OAS”), is a catheter-based platform designed to facilitate stentdelivery in patients with CAD who are acceptable candidates for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or stenting due to de novo, severely calcifiedcoronary artery lesions. The Coronary OAS design is similar to technology used in our Peripheral OAS, customized specifically for the coronary application. Inaddition to the Coronary OAS, we also offer support products within the coronary space as we expand treatment to a broader patient population with complexcoronary artery disease.

In October 2013, we received premarket approval (“PMA”) from the FDA to market the Coronary OAS as a treatment for severely calcified coronary arteries andwe commenced a commercial launch that same month. Coronary sales in the United States during the nine months ended March 31, 2020 representedapproximately 26% of revenue.

International

Sales of our approved products in Japan are made through our exclusive Japan distributor, Medikit Co., Ltd. ("Medikit"). Sales of our products in the rest of theworld, which primarily includes certain countries in Southeast Asia, Europe and the Middle

East, are made through our exclusive international distributor, OrbusNeich®. International sales during the nine months ended March 31, 2020 representedapproximately 4% of revenue.

Impact of COVID-19

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we experienced a disruption in the procedures using our products as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak in theUnited States and internationally. On March 18, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) released guidance for healthcare providers to limitall non-elective medical procedures in order to conserve personal protective equipment and limit exposure to COVID-19 during the pendency of the outbreak. CMScreated a tiered framework outlining recommendations on which procedures should be postponed and which should not. Physician responses to theserecommendations have varied and will continue to vary as the pandemic continues.

With respect to PAD, the patients treated using our devices generally fall into two categories: those with critical limb ischemia (“CLI”) and those with claudication.We believe that most patients with CLI would fall into a CMS “Do not postpone” tier and most patients with claudication would fall into a CMS “Postpone” tier.As a result, if physicians strictly follow the guidelines, we would anticipate that the treatment of most patients with CLI will most likely not be postponed, but thatthe treatment of most patients with claudication will most likely be postponed. With respect to CAD, if physicians strictly follow the guidelines, we wouldanticipate the majority of patients treated using our devices fall into a CMS “Do not postpone” tier. However, despite the guidelines, individual physicians andfacilities may nevertheless postpone procedures that fall into a “Do not postpone” tier as a result of reduced availability of physicians or lab space to treat patients,different treatment prioritizations, increased cost pressures and burdens on the overall healthcare infrastructure that result in reallocation of resources, or othergovernmental guidelines and restrictions. In addition, patients may elect to defer or avoid treatment for procedures that use our products due to concerns about thepotential spread of diseases in facilities. Finally, our personnel and the personnel of our distribution partners are experiencing restrictions on their ability to accessmany customers, hospitals, labs and other medical facilities for sales activities, training and case support as they have been deemed to be “non-essential” personnelby those facilities, and there has been a reduction in procedure activity in these accounts. Accordingly, we are unable to predict how the outbreak will impactprocedure volumes in the future and the duration of that impact, and we are unable to reasonably quantify any future financial impact of the COVID-19 outbreak asa result of lower procedure volumes.

In addition to the impact on procedure volumes, we are experiencing and may experience other disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. For example,enrollment in our ECLIPSE clinical trial has been suspended. Other disruptions or potential disruptions include restrictions on the ability of our personnel andpersonnel of our distribution partners to travel; delays in approvals by regulatory bodies; delays in product development efforts, which will also disrupt or delay ourability to launch affected products; reallocation of company resources from our strategic priorities; supply chain disruptions that limit, delay or prevent us fromacquiring the components used to manufacture our products or ship those products once manufactured; disruptions in our relationships with our distributors due tothe impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on their operations; temporary closures of our facilities; loss of employee productivity; and additional governmentrequirements to “shelter at home” or other incremental mitigation efforts that may further impact our capacity to manufacture, sell and support the use of ourproducts.

We have been running our manufacturing operations and have continued to ship product; however, we will continue to monitor federal, state and localrequirements that apply to these operations and we may experience disruptions in these operations or limitations in our ability to continue producing and shippingproducts. Most of our office-based employees are telecommuting, and our field employees will continue to support cases in clinical settings where they continue tohave access. We have taken steps intended to protect the health and well-being of our workforce and our customers, such as implementing restrictions on access toour facilities, deploying screening protocols for employees who work on site, utilizing remote working systems, supplying personal protective equipment toemployees and customers, and adopting remote training on the use of our devices. We are monitoring developments at the local, state and national levels in order toensure that we and our employees have current information for purposes of making decisions in the dynamic and unpredictable environment. We have taken stepsto manage our expenses during the continuation of the pandemic, which include freezing new hiring, ceasing travel and conference activity, and suspending workon certain product development and other internal projects. We are also engaged in business planning for the recovery period as we anticipate how our businesswill return to a more normalized level of activity once the pandemic and its effects subside.

In the near term, as the pandemic continues, we anticipate that we will experience a continued reduction in the number of procedures using our devices, which willresult in lower revenue and increased utilization of our existing capital resources. The discussion below provides additional details on our expectations forupcoming periods. We expect that the total impact of disruptions resulting from the pandemic will have a material impact on our financial condition, capitalresources and results of

operations, but we cannot predict the specific extent, or duration, of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our condition, resources and results.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have beenprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us tomake estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect amounts reported in those statements. Our estimates, assumptions and judgments, including those related torevenue recognition, deferred revenue and stock-based compensation, are updated as appropriate at least quarterly. We use authoritative pronouncements, ourtechnical accounting knowledge, cumulative business experience, judgment and other factors in the selection and application of our accounting policies. While webelieve that the estimates, assumptions and judgments that we use in preparing our consolidated financial statements are appropriate, these estimates, assumptionsand judgments are subject to factors and uncertainties regarding their outcome. Therefore, actual results may materially differ from these estimates.

Some of our significant accounting policies require us to make subjective or complex judgments or estimates. An accounting estimate is considered to be critical ifit meets both of the following criteria: (1) the estimate requires assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made, and(2) different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, would have amaterial impact on the presentation of our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Our critical accounting policies are identified in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 under the heading“Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates.”

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 with Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Net revenues. Net revenues decreased by $2.1 million, or 3.4%, from $63.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $61.2 million for the threemonths ended March 31, 2020. Peripheral revenues decreased $2.5 million, or 5.6%, and coronary revenues increased $400,000, or 2.1%. Decreases in peripheralrevenue were driven by decreased unit volumes as a result of the outbreak of COVID-19, in addition to slight decreases in average selling prices. Coronary revenueincreases of $400,000 were driven largely by increased sales of interventional case support devices. Coronary revenues were also impacted by the COVID-19outbreak as well as small decreases in average selling prices. International revenue was $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared withinternational revenue of $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $600,000. Despite the increased international revenue, the outbreakof COVID-19 has impacted product volumes worldwide, especially within Europe. We expect our revenue to continue to decline in the short-term as the UnitedStates healthcare system continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. Longer term, we expect to return to future revenue growth as we continue to increase thenumber of physicians using the devices, increase the usage per physician, introduce new and improved products, generate additional clinical data, and expand intonew geographies through our distribution agreements with Medikit and OrbusNeich, partially offset by potential decreases in average selling prices. However, weare unable to predict the timing of this recovery period.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold was $12.2 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. These amounts represent the cost ofmaterials, labor and overhead for single-use catheters, guide wires, pumps, and other ancillary products. Gross margin decreased to 80.0% for the three monthsended March 31, 2020 from 80.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to increased sales of lower margin products, expansion into lowermargin international markets through distributor relationships, and lower average selling prices. This decrease was partially offset by product cost reductions andmanufacturing efficiencies. We expect that gross margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 will be lower than gross margin in the three months ended March 31,2020 as the outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to continue to adversely impact our sales volumes due to continued postponements of elective procedures.Quarterly margin fluctuations could also occur based on production volumes, timing of new product introductions, sales mix, pricing changes, or otherunanticipated circumstances.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $41.1 million for both the three months ended March 31,2020 and 2019. Increased expenses related to additional clinical specialists within our sales organization, the expansion of our medical affairs initiatives andinternational expansion were offset by lower commissions, cash incentive compensation and costs associated with travel as a result of COVID-19. Selling, generaland administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 include $2.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for stock-basedcompensation. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 to be less than amounts incurred for the threemonths ended March 31, 2020, as we adjust our spending levels as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased by 8.8%, from $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to$10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Research and development expenses relate to specific projects to develop new products or expand intonew markets, such as the development of new versions of the Peripheral and Coronary OAS, shaft designs and crown designs, and to PAD and CAD clinical trials.The increase was primarily due to increased personnel and project costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as we invested in expanding our productportfolio and additional regulatory and clinical study costs. In March 2020, we announced a suspension of the ECLIPSE clinical trial as a result of the outbreak ofCOVID-19. In addition, we expect disruptions or delays in other product development activities, and as a result, we expect research and development expenses inthe fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 to be less than amounts incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Fluctuations could occur based on the number ofprojects and studies, the progress of such projects and studies, the rate of study enrollment, and the timing of expenditures.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended March 31, 2020 with Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019

Net revenues. Net revenues increased by $14.2 million, or 7.9%, from $179.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 to $194.0 million for the ninemonths ended March 31, 2020. Peripheral revenues increased $5.1 million, or 3.9%, and coronary revenues increased $9.1 million, or 18.5%. Both peripheral andcoronary revenue increases were primarily driven by higher unit volumes as a result of the growth of our customer base and expansion into new internationalmarkets, and new product offerings such as balloons guidewires and catheters, partially offset by the impact of the recent COVID-19 outbreak as well as loweraverage selling prices. International revenue was $8.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, compared with $5.4 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2019, an increase of $3.0 million.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased to $38.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 from $34.2 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2019, a 12.8% increase. These amounts represent the cost of materials, labor and overhead for single-use catheters, guide wires, pumps, and otherancillary products. The increase in cost of goods sold was due to greater unit volumes as we added new accounts, expanded internationally and offered additionalproducts, partially offset by recent volume declines as a result of the outbreak of COVID-19. Gross margin decreased to 80.1% for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 from 81.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to increased sales of lower margin products, expansion into lower margininternational markets through distributor relationships, and lower average selling prices. This decrease was partially offset by product cost reductions andmanufacturing efficiencies.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $11.3 million, or 9.1%, from $123.7 million for thenine months ended March 31, 2019 to $135.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased expenses related tothe expansion of our medical affairs initiatives, additional clinical specialists within our sales organization and international expansion. Selling, general andadministrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 include $8.9 million and $7.3 million, respectively, for stock-based compensation.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $7.8 million, or 33.0%, from $23.7 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2019 to $31.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. Research and development expenses relate to specific projects to develop newproducts or expand into new markets, such as the development of new versions of the Peripheral and Coronary OAS, shaft designs and crown designs, and to PADand CAD clinical trials. The increase was primarily due to increased personnel costs as we invested in expanding our product portfolio and additional costsassociated with the ECLIPSE clinical study. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 include $1.1 million and$1.0 million, respectively, for stock-based compensation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We had cash, cash equivalents and highly liquid marketable securities of $107.3 million and $122.7 million at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. Weexpect this amount to decrease in the three months ending June 30, 2020 as our revenues decline and we utilize existing resources to cover our expenses as a resultof the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $347.9 million. We have historically funded our operating lossesprimarily from the issuance of common and preferred stock, convertible promissory notes, and debt.

A summary of our cash flow activities is as follows:Nine Months Ended

2020 2019

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities $ (1,424) $ 4,908 Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities 1,376 (5,909) Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities (4,617) 21 Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ (4,665) $ (980)

Changes in Liquidity

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to the net loss of $12.1 million and increased use ofcash as we build inventory and diversify our products, as well as for payouts of previously accrued bonuses and commissions. The amount of cash used waspartially offset by collections on receivables, increased accounts payable due to timing of activity and payments, and non-cash expenditures for the nine monthsended March 31, 2020.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to positive cash flow when the net loss of $1.7million is adjusted for non-cash expenditures such as stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization. Contributing to positive cash flows from operationswas the timing of cash payments on payables. These positive cash flows were partially offset by the timing of collections on receivables, increased use of cash aswe build inventory and diversify our products, and the effects of recognizing previously deferred revenue.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to the maturity of marketable securities,partially offset by the cash payment made for the WIRION acquisition, additional purchases of marketable securities, purchases of property and equipment, costsassociated with capitalized patent activities, and the purchase of a non-marketable equity investment. These uses of cash were partially offset by maturities ofmarketable securities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $5.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to additional shares acquired in an investment,purchases of property and equipment and costs associated with capitalized patent activities.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $4.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to the payment of payroll taxes on the employeevesting of stock awards, partially offset by proceeds from employee stock purchases.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $21,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to proceeds from employee stock purchases andthe exercise of stock options, partially offset by the payment of payroll taxes on the employee vesting of stock awards.

Our future liquidity and capital requirements will be influenced by numerous factors, including the extent and duration of future operating losses, the level andtiming of future sales and expenditures, the results and scope of ongoing research and product development programs, working capital required to support ourbusiness operations, the receipt of and time required to obtain regulatory clearances and approvals, our sales and marketing programs, the continuing acceptance ofour products in the marketplace, competing technologies, market and regulatory developments, ongoing facility requirements, potential strategic transactions(including the potential acquisition of, or investments in, businesses, technologies and products), international expansion, the existence, defense and resolution oflegal proceedings, and the severity and duration of the current COVID-19 outbreak. As discussed in the “Overview” above, the total impact of disruptions fromCOVID-19 will have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations, but we cannot predict the specific extent, or duration, of the impact ofthe COVID-19 outbreak on our condition and results. We will continue to closely monitor our liquidity and capital resources through the disruption caused byCOVID-19 and will continue to evaluate our financial position to assess additional spending reductions and our liquidity needs. As of March 31, 2020, we believeour current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures and operations for the foreseeable future,including at least the next twelve months, as well as to fund expenses relating to compliance with our Corporate Integrity Agreement, payments under our leaseagreements, payments under development agreements and anticipated costs relating to litigation. If needed, we have the ability to borrow under our senior, securedrevolving credit facility. We intend to retain any future earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. We do notanticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Facility Sale and Lease

On December 29, 2016, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement, as subsequently amended (collectively, the “Sale Agreement”), with Krishna Holdings,LLC (“Krishna”), providing for the sale to Krishna of our headquarters facility in St. Paul, Minnesota (the “Facility”) for a cash purchase price of $21.5 million. OnMarch 30, 2017, the sale of the Facility under the Sale Agreement closed. We received proceeds of approximately $20.9 million ($21.5 million less $556,000 oftransaction expenses). In connection with the closing of the facility sale, we entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) with Krishna Holdings, LLC,Apex Holdings, LLC, Kashi Associates, LLC, Keva Holdings, LLC, S&V Ventures, LLC, Polo Group LLC, SPAV Holdings LLC, Star Associates LLC, and TheGlobal Villa, LLC. The Lease Agreement has an initial term of fifteen years, with four consecutive renewal options of five years each, with a base annual rent inthe first year of $1.6 million and annual escalations of 3%. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this QuarterlyReport on Form 10-Q for additional discussion.

Revolving Credit Facility

In March 2017, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). In March 2020, we entered into theFirst Amendment to the Loan Agreement (the "Amendment"). The Amendment extended the maturity date of the Loan Agreement by two years, to March 31,2022, and increased the maximum amount available under the senior, secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") to $50.0 million (the “Maximum DollarAmount”).

Advances under the Revolver may be made from time to time up to the Maximum Dollar Amount, subject to certain borrowing limitations. The Revolver bearsinterest at a floating per annum rate equal to the Wall Street Journal prime rate, less 0.75%. Interest on borrowings is due monthly and the principal balance is dueat maturity. Upon the Revolver’s maturity, any outstanding principal balance, unpaid accrued interest, and all other obligations under the Revolver will be due andpayable. We will incur a fee equal to 3% of the Maximum Dollar Amount upon termination of the Loan Agreement, as amended by the Amendment (the"Amended Loan Agreement"), or the Revolver for any reason prior to the date that is fifteen days prior to the maturity date, unless refinanced with SVB.

Our obligations under the Amended Loan Agreement are secured by certain of our assets, including, among other things, accounts receivable, deposit accounts,inventory, equipment, general intangibles and records pertaining to the foregoing. The collateral does not include our intellectual property, but we agreed not toencumber our intellectual property without the consent of SVB. The Amended Loan Agreement contains customary covenants limiting our ability to, among otherthings, incur debt or liens, make certain investments and loans, enter into transactions with affiliates, undergo certain fundamental changes, dispose of assets, orchange the nature of our business. In addition, the Amended Loan Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain, at all times when any amountsare outstanding under the Revolver, either (i) minimum unrestricted cash at SVB and unused availability on the Revolver of at least $10.0 million or (ii) minimumtrailing three-month Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) of $1.0 million. If we do not comply with the various covenants under theAmended Loan Agreement or an event of default under the Amended Loan Agreement occurs, such as a material adverse change, the interest rate on outstandingamounts will increase by 5% and SVB may, subject to various customary cure rights and the other terms and conditions of the Amended Loan Agreement, declineto provide additional advances under the Revolver, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Revolver, and foreclose on all collateral.

We are required to pay a fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the unused portion of the Revolver, payable quarterly in arrears. We are not obligated to draw any fundsunder the Revolver and have not done so under the Revolver since entering into the Loan Agreement. No amounts are outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and wecurrently do not have plans to borrow under the Amended Loan Agreement.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, our management uses a non-GAAP financial measure referred to as“Adjusted EBITDA.” The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measureexpressed as dollar amounts (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended

March 31, March 31,

Adjusted EBITDA $ 1,626 $ 4,113 $ 1,579 $ 9,140

Adjusted EBITDA decreased for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 primarily dueto a greater loss from operations.

Table of Contents

Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Used and Usefulness of Such Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors

We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of performance and believe this measure facilitates operating performance comparisons from period toperiod and company to company by factoring out potential differences caused by depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash charges such as stock-basedcompensation. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to analyze the underlying trends in our business, assess the performance of our core operations, establishoperational goals and forecasts that are used to allocate resources and evaluate our performance period over period and in relation to our competitors’ operatingresults. Additionally, our management is partially evaluated on the basis of Adjusted EBITDA when determining achievement of their incentive compensationperformance targets. Management does not use Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure or in the calculation of our financial covenants under the loan and securityagreement with Silicon Valley Bank.

We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides investors greater transparency to the information used by our management for its financial and operationaldecision-making and allows investors to see our results “through the eyes” of management. We also believe that providing this information better enables ourinvestors to understand our operating performance and evaluate the methodology used by our management to evaluate and measure such performance.

The following is an explanation of each of the items that management excludes from Adjusted EBITDA and the reasons for excluding each of these individualitems:

• Stock-based compensation. Our management believes that excluding this item from Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to understand the applicationof stock-based compensation guidance and its impact on our operational performance and ability to make additional investments in our company, andexcluding this item allows for greater transparency to certain line items in our financial statements.

• Depreciation and amortization expense. Our management believes that excluding these items from our Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors tounderstand our operational performance and ability to make additional investments in our company.

Material Limitations Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Manner in Which We Compensate for these Limitations

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared inaccordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations associated with our use of these non-GAAP financial measures are:

• Items such as stock-based compensation do not directly affect our cash flow position; however, such items reflect economic costs to us and are notreflected in our Adjusted EBITDA, and therefore Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the full economic effect of these items.

• Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and therefore other companies may calculatesimilarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

• Our management exercises judgment in determining which types of charges or other items should be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures weuse.

We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily upon our GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally.

INFLATION

We do not believe that inflation had a material impact on our business and operating results during the periods presented.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Since inception, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet activities as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the important information in the section entitled “Private SecuritiesLitigation Reform Act,” you should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019 for a discussion ofimportant factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in thisQuarterly Report on Form 10-Q and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or future operating results. Additional risks and uncertaintiesnot currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also might materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operatingresults. In addition, you should consider the following risk factor:

Outbreaks of pandemic diseases, such as the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, may impact our business and operations, which could materially adversely affectour financial condition and results of operations.

We have experienced a disruption in the procedures using our products and in our operations as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States andinternationally. An outbreak of a contagious disease, such as COVID-19, particularly to the extent it becomes a pandemic, could significantly disrupt our business.The effects of such an outbreak include a decrease in procedure volumes due to restrictions and guidelines implemented by facilities and governmental entities;reduced availability of physicians or lab space to treat patients using our products and/or different treatment prioritizations of those physicians; increased costpressures and burdens on the overall healthcare infrastructure that result in reallocation of resources; changed treatment decisions by patients who may elect todefer or avoid treatment for procedures that use our products due to concerns about the potential spread of diseases in facilities; the suspension of clinical trialactivity; restrictions on the ability of our personnel and personnel of our distribution partners to travel and to access customers and medical facilities for salesactivities, training and case support; delays in approvals by regulatory bodies; delays in product development efforts, which will also disrupt or delay our ability tolaunch affected products; reallocation of company resources from our strategic priorities; supply chain disruptions that limit, delay or prevent us from acquiring thecomponents used to manufacture our products or ship those products once manufactured; disruptions in our relationships with our distributors due to the impact ofthe COVID-19 outbreak on their operations; temporary closures of our facilities; loss of employee productivity; government requirements to “shelter at home” orother incremental mitigation efforts that may further impact our capacity to manufacture, sell and support the use of our products; and adverse impacts on thenational and global economies. Pandemics, such as the outbreak of COVID-19, will also affect the economy generally, which may affect our stock price, our abilityto borrow or raise additional capital, and the funding of health systems that purchase our products, among other potential effects. The total impact of thesedisruptions could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations, and we cannot predict the specific extent, or duration, of theimpact of the COVID-19 outbreak or any other outbreak of a contagious disease on our financial condition and results. In addition, the effect of the COVID-19pandemic on our business and financial results may also have the effect of heightening other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On March 12, 2020, our Board of Directors approved the Amended and Restated 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”), which replaces the 2017Equity Incentive Plan (the “Original Plan”). The Amended Plan amends the provisions of the Original Plan that permit the recipients of awards to elect to have uswithhold shares otherwise issuable to them or to deliver shares to us, in each case in order to satisfy withholding and employment tax obligations of the recipientupon the vesting of awards. The Original Plan provided that any such shares withheld or delivered for such purposes must have a fair market value equal to, andnot in excess of, the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes. The Amended Plan provides that the administrator of the plan mayestablish minimum and/or maximum tax withholding rates for recipients of awards. In connection with the approval of the Amended Plan, our Human Resourcesand Compensation Committee established that the minimum tax withholding rate for all participants will be the minimum statutory rates for federal and state taxpurposes, the maximum tax withholding rate for our officers will be the maximum statutory rates for federal and state tax purposes, and that the maximum taxwithholding rate for all other participants will be the minimum statutory rates for federal and state tax purposes. The Amended Plan also includes minoradministrative changes. The foregoing description of material amended terms in the Amended Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of theAmended Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
