GENERAL

Integra LifeSciences is a global leader in regenerative tissue technologies and neurological solutions dedicated to limiting uncertainty for clinicians so they can focus on providing the best patient care. Founded in 1989 with the acquisition of an engineered collagen technology platform used to repair and regenerate tissue, Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “IART.” Integra has developed numerous product lines from this technology for applications ranging from burn and deep tissue wounds to the repair of dura mater in the brain, as well as nerves and tendons. The Company has expanded its base regenerative technology business to include surgical instruments, neurosurgical products and advanced wound care through global acquisitions and product development to meet the evolving needs of its customers and enhance patient care.

Integra manufactures and sells medical technologies and products in two reportable business segments: Codman Specialty Surgical ("CSS") and Tissue Technologies ("TT"). The CSS segment, which represents approximately two-thirds of our total revenue, consists of market-leading technologies and instrumentation used for a wide range of specialties, such as neurosurgery, neurocritical care and otolaryngology. We are the world leader in neurosurgery and one of the top three providers in instruments used in precision, specialty, and general surgical procedures. Our TT segment generates about one-third of our overall revenue and focuses on three main areas: complex wound surgery, surgical reconstruction, and peripheral nerve repair.

We have key manufacturing and research facilities located in California, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Utah, France, Germany, Ireland and Switzerland. We source most of our handheld surgical instruments and dural sealant products through specialized third-party vendors.

Integra is committed to delivering high quality products that positively impact the lives of millions of patients and their families. We focus on four key pillars of our strategy: 1) enabling an execution-focused culture, 2) optimizing relevant scale, 3) advancing innovation and agility, and 4) leading in customer experience. We believe that by sharpening our focus on these areas through improved planning and communication, optimization of our infrastructure, and strategically aligned acquisitions, we can build scale, increase competitiveness and achieve our long-term goals.

To this end, the executive leadership team has established the following key priorities aligned to the following areas of focus:

Strategic Acquisitions. An important part of the Company's strategy is pursuing strategic transactions and licensing agreements that increase relevant scale in the clinical areas in which Integra competes. Our growth strategy includes the acquisition of businesses, assets or products lines to increase the breadth of our offerings, the reach of our product portfolios and drive relevant scale to our customers. On December 6, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of SIA, which develops, markets and sells DuraSorb, a resorbable synthetic matrix for plastic and reconstructive surgery. This acquisition will advance Integra’s global strategy in breast reconstruction, expanding plans to access the U.S. market where SIA is pursuing pre-market approval for use in IBBR. We also continued to advance the development of pioneering neurosurgical technologies with the expansion our product offering of regenerative technologies from our 2021 ACell acquisition. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for additional details.

Portfolio Optimization and New Product Introductions. We are investing in innovative product development to drive a multi-generational pipeline for our key product franchises. Our product development efforts span across our key global franchises focused on potential technological innovations for significant returns on investment. In addition to new product development, we are funding studies to gather clinical evidence to support launches, ensure market access and improve reimbursement for existing products. In addition to acquisitions and organic reinvestment, we continually look to optimize our portfolio towards higher growth and higher margin businesses. As such, we may opportunistically divest businesses or discontinue products where we see limited runway for future value creation in line with our aspirations due in part to changes in the market, business fundamentals or the regulatory environment.

Commercial Channel Investments. Investing in our sales channels is a core part of our strategy to create specialization and greater focus on reaching new and existing customers and addressing their needs. To support our commercial efforts in Tissue Technologies, we utilize a two-tier specialist model to increase our presence in focused segments to help serve the evolving needs of our customers. In addition, we continue to build upon our leadership brands across our product franchises in both CSS and TT to engage customers through enterprise-wide contracts with leading hospitals, integrated delivery networks and global purchasing organizations in the United States. Internationally, we have increased our commercial resources significantly in key emerging markets and are making investments to support our sales organization and maximize our commercial opportunities. Domestically, we have also increased our TT sales force in the United States to support the expanded regenerative tissue product portfolio that includes ACell products. These investments in our international and domestic sales channel position us well for expansion and long-term growth.

Customer Experience. We aspire to be ranked as a best-in-class provider and are committed to strengthening our relationships with all customers. We continue to invest in technologies, systems and processes to enhance the customer experience. In 2022, we outsourced certain transactional back-office finance and customer service activities to enhance customer quality, build scale for future growth, and capture cost efficiencies. We also launched digital tools and programs, resources and virtual product training to drive continued customer familiarity with our growing portfolio of medical technologies globally. .

New Product Introductions and Research and Development Updates

We continue to invest in collecting clinical evidence to support the Company's existing products and new product launches, and to ensure that we obtain market access for broader and more cost-effective solutions.

In 2022, we made progress to several enhancements to our CUSA Clarity Tissue Ablation System. The extended laparoscopic tip was launched in the U.S. to enhance laparoscopic liver procedures. In addition, a single-sided bone tip received 510(k) clearance. Commercial launch is expected in the first quarter of 2023. We continue to update our CUSA Clarity platform by incorporating new ultrasonic handpiece and integrated electrosurgical capabilities.

In each area, we continue to benefit from products launched over the past several years, including our new electrosurgery generator and irrigator system, an innovative customer-centric toolkit for our Certas® Plus Programmable Valve along with additional shunt configurations. In Japan, we are experiencing strong growth as a result of the successful launch of DuraGen in mid-2019, which is the first and only collagen xenograft approved for use as a dural substitute in the country.

In 2022, we continued to advance the two early-stage technology platforms we acquired in 2019. Through the acquisition of Arkiss, we added a platform technology, CerebroFlo EVD, which is a catheter with Endexo technology, a permanent additive designed to reduce the potential for catheter obstruction due to thrombus formation. The CerebroFlo EVD Catheter has demonstrated an average of 99% less thrombus accumulation onto its surface, in vitro, compared to a market leading EVD catheter. In 2019, we also acquired Rebound Therapeutics which specialized in a single-use medical device, known as Aurora Surgiscope, which is the only tubular retractor system designed for cranial surgery with an integrated access channel, camera and lighting. In 2021, we began and continued to conduct a limited clinical launch of the Aurora Surgiscope for use in minimally invasive neurosurgery as well as initiated a registry called MIRROR to collect data on early surgical intervention using this same technology platform for the treatment of ICH. In 2022, we have continued to execute on our growth initiatives. We launched the Aurora Evacuator with Coagulation device in the U.S., designed to be used in conjunction with our Aurora Surgiscope to safely address and evacuate blood in the brain caused by hemorrhagic stroke.

We are focused on the development of core clinical applications in our electromechanical technologies portfolio. In June 2022, we launched the Neutus® EVD system, our first EVD in China. The Neutus EVD system is manufactured in China by Shanghai Haoju Medical Technology Co., Ltd. under an exclusive distribution arrangement. The device is used in the management of CSF and is highly complementary to our Bactiseal® catheter and advanced intercranial pressure monitoring products. In 2021, we launched our CereLink ICP Monitor System in the U.S. and Europe direct markets and continued the global rollout in the first half of 2022. CereLink provides enhanced accuracy, usability and advanced data presentation that provides clinicians with uncompromised, advanced continuous ICP monitoring that until now, has not been available when treating patients with traumatic brain injuries. Refer below to the information appearing under the FDA Matters heading for additional information on the voluntary recall of the CereLink ICP Monitor System.

34

Within our TT segment, in 2022, we launched NeuraGen 3D Nerve Guide Matrix, a resorbable implant for repair of peripheral nerve discontinuities and engineered to create an optimized environment for nerve regeneration. During 2021, we completed one of the largest diabetic foot ulcers ("DFU"), randomized controlled trials of the PriMatrix Dermal Repair Scaffold for the management of DFU. This multi-center study enrolled more than 225 patients with chronic DFU's over the course of 12-week treatments and 4-week follow-up phases. The results of this study, which was published in the Journal of Wound Care, demonstrated that PriMatrix plus standard of care SOC consisting of sharp debridement, infection elimination, use of dressings and offloading was significantly more likely to achieve complete wound closure compared with SOC alone, with a median number of one application of the product. During 2020, we announced positive clinical and economic data on Integra® Bilayer Wound Matrix ("IBWM") in complex lower extremity reconstruction based on two retrospective studies recently published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. As surgeons look for ways to efficiently and effectively repair and close wounds, IBWM helps address the efficiency needed in operating rooms by reducing both the operating time and costs to hospitals and patients.

FDA Matters

On August 18, 2022, the Company, after consultation with the FDA and other regulatory authorities outside of the United States, initiated an immediate voluntary global product removal of all CereLink intracranial pressure monitors as a result of customer reports about monitors whose pressure readings were out of range. The Company believes that the out-of-range readings are principally caused by electrical interference from the external environment and/or interference from a component on the circuit board of the monitor. These out-of-range readings have occurred at a low incidence rate and at a limited number of sites; however, out of an abundance of caution, the Company removed all CereLink monitors from the field.

The Company Is continuing its investigation into the matter in order to remedy the observed issue and plans to resume shipment of the CereLink monitors as soon as any such issues have been resolved. Based on outlook for returning the product to market and feedback from customers, the Company recorded a $1.9 million provision for product returns, as a reduction of net revenue, and a $0.8 million rework accrual in cost of goods sold in 2022.

We manufacture and distribute products derived from human tissue for which FDA has specific regulations governing human cells, tissues and cellular and tissue-based products ("HCT/P"). An HCT/P is a product containing or consisting of human cells or tissue intended for transplantation into a human patient. Refer to Item 1. Business and Item 1A. Risk Factors for further details around these FDA regulations and their potential effect on the Company's portfolio of morselized amniotic material-based products as well as the impact on consolidated revenues.

On March 7, 2019, TEI Biosciences, Inc. ("TEI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company received a Warning Letter (the “Warning Letter”), dated March 6, 2019, from the FDA. The warning letter related to quality systems issues at TEI's manufacturing facility located in Boston, Massachusetts. The letter resulted from an inspection held at that facility in October and November 2018 and did not identify any new observations that were not already provided in the Form 483 that followed the inspection. The Company submitted its initial response to the FDA Warning Letter on March 28, 2019 and provides regular progress reports to the FDA as to its corrective actions and, since the conclusion of the inspection, has undertaken significant efforts to remediate the observations and continues to do so. On October 28, 2021 the FDA initiated an inspection of the facility and at the conclusion of the inspection issued a FDA Form 483 on November 12, 2021 (the "2021 Form 483"). The Company provided an initial response to the inspection observations and will continue to provide responses to FDA. The Warning Letter and the 2021 FDA Form 483 do not restrict the Company’s ability to manufacture or ship products or require the recall of any products, nor do they restrict our ability to seek FDA 510(k) clearance of products. Additionally, premarket approval applications for Class III devices to which the Quality System regulation violations are reasonably related will not be approved until the violations have been corrected. The TEI Boston facility manufactures extracellular bovine matrix products. We cannot give any assurances that the FDA will be satisfied with our response to the Warning Letter or as to the expected date of the resolution of the matters included in the letter. Until the issues cited in the letter are resolved to the FDA’s satisfaction, the FDA may initiate additional regulatory action without further notice. Any adverse regulatory action, depending on its magnitude, may restrict us from effectively manufacturing, marketing and selling our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Revenues of products manufactured in the TEI Boston facility for the year ended December 31, 2022 were approximately 5.3% of consolidated revenues.

ACQUISITIONS & DIVESTITURES

Acquisitions

Our growth strategy includes the acquisition of businesses, assets or products lines to increase the breadth of our offerings and the reach of our product portfolios and drive relevant scale to our customers. As a result of several acquisitions from 2021 through 2022, our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022 may not be directly comparable to those of the corresponding prior-year periods. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for a further discussion.

Surgical Innovation Associates, Inc.

On December 6, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of SIA for an acquisition purchase price of $51.5 million. In addition to the purchase price, the acquisition includes two separate contingent considerations payments, which are dependent on 1) achieving certain revenue-based performance milestones in 2023, 2024, and 2025 (up to $50M in additional payments), as well as 2) the approval by the FDA of the PMA application for DuraSorb for certain uses by certain timing targets (up to $40M in additional payments). SIA was a privately-held company whose core technology, DuraSorb is a fully resorbable scaffold of a globally accepted polymer, cleared for use in hernia repair, abdominal wall, and other soft tissue reinforcement. DuraSorb sales will be reported within Integra’s TT segment as part of its Wound Reconstruction and Care franchise. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for details.

ACell Inc.

On January 20, 2021, the Company acquired ACell for an acquisition purchase price of $306.9 million plus contingent consideration obligations of up to $100 million, that may be payable upon achieving certain revenue-based performance milestones in 2022, 2023 and 2025. ACell was a privately-held company that offered a portfolio of regenerative products for complex wound management, including developing and commercializing products based on MatriStem Urinary Bladder Matrix, a technology platform derived from porcine urinary bladder extracellular matrix. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for additional details.

Divestiture

On August 31, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its TWC business to Gentell for $28.8 million, which consists of $27.8 million in cash plus $1.0 million in contingent consideration which may be received upon achieving certain revenue-based performance milestones two years after the closing date. The proceeds from the sale of the TWC business of $27.8 million is presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows net of cash transferred of $3.5 million and other transaction fees. The transaction included the sale of the Company's TWC products, such as sponges, gauze and conforming bandages, and certain advanced wound care dressings, such as supportive, calcium alginate, hydrogel, and foam dressings. In connection with the sale, the Company recognized $0.6 million as a gain from the sale of business in the consolidated statement of operations for year ended December 31, 2022. The transaction is subject to final working capital adjustments. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Form 10-K) for details.

On January 4, 2021, the Company completed its sale of its Extremity Orthopedics business to Smith & Nephew. The transaction included the sale of the Company's upper and lower Extremity Orthopedics product portfolio, including ankle and shoulder arthroplasty and hand and wrist product lines. The Company received an aggregate purchase price of $240.0 million from Smith & Nephew and concurrently paid $41.5 million to the Consortium of Focused Orthopedists, LLC ("CFO"), effectively terminating the licensing agreement between Integra and CFO relating to the development of shoulder arthroplasty products. The Company recognized a gain of $41.8 million in connection with the sale that is presented in "Gain from the sale of business" in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December, 31, 2021. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for details.

OPTIMIZATION AND INTEGRATION ACTIVITIES

As a result of our ongoing acquisition strategy and significant growth in recent years, we have undertaken cost-saving initiatives to consolidate manufacturing operations, distribution facilities and transfer activities, eliminate duplicative positions, realign various sales and marketing activities, and expand and upgrade production capacity for our regenerative technology products. These efforts are expected to continue and while we expect a positive impact from ongoing restructuring, integration, and manufacturing transfer and expansion activities, such results remain uncertain. In support of our continued focus on product margins during 2022, we closed a manufacturing facility located in France and began the transfer of production to the Company’s existing Switzerland facility. The transfer completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. In 2022, we outsourced certain transactional back-office finance and customer service activities to enhance customer quality, build scale for future growth, and capture cost efficiencies. This transition also completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. While the transition was complete in 2022, we are continuing to work with our outsource provider to transform our processes and gain efficiencies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Summary

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $180.6 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, compared to $169.1 million, or $1.98 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Income before taxes includes the following special charges:

Years Ended December 31,

Total49,37033,425

(1) See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for details.

The items reported above are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as follows:

Years Ended December 31,
Dollars in thousands20222021
Cost of goods sold$11,722$32,334
Research and development21,88217,487

Gain from the sale of business(644)(41,798)
Other (income) expense(4,174)(5,611)
Total49,37033,425

We typically define special charges as items for which the amounts and/or timing of such expenses may vary significantly from period to period, depending upon our acquisition, divestiture, integration and restructuring activities, and for which the amounts are non-cash in nature, or for which the amounts are not expected to recur at the same magnitude. We believe that given our ongoing strategy of seeking acquisitions, our continuing focus on rationalizing our existing manufacturing and distribution infrastructure and our continuing review of various product lines in relation to our current business strategy, some of the special charges discussed above could recur with similar materiality in the future.

We believe that the separate identification of these special charges provides important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Investors may find this information useful in assessing comparability of our operating performance from period to period, against the business model objectives that management has established, and against other companies in our industry. We provide this information to investors so that they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and to use this information in their assessment of our core business and valuation of Integra.

Revenues and Gross Margin

Our revenues and gross margin on product revenues were as follows:

Years Ended December 31,
Dollars in thousands20222021
Segment Net Sales
Codman Specialty Surgical$1,019,564$1,025,232
Tissue Technologies538,102517,216
Total revenues1,557,6661,542,448
Cost of goods sold587,355597,808
Gross margin on total revenues$970,311$944,640
Gross margin as a percentage of total revenues62.3%61.2%

Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2022, total revenues increased by $15.2 million, or 1.0%, to $1,557.7 million from $1,542.4 million during the prior year. This increase is inclusive of an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $37.9 million, as well as a $10.2 million decrease that impacts both domestic and international revenues, related to the divestiture of the TWC business. Excluding the impacts of these items, domestic revenues increased by $41.6 million, or 3.8%. International revenues increased by $21.7 million or 4.8%.

In the CSS segment, revenues were $1,019.6 million which was a decrease of $5.7 million, or 0.6% as compared to the prior-year period. This increase is inclusive of a $34.1 million unfavorable foreign currency impact on revenue. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, the CSS segment revenues increased $28.4 million as compared to the prior year period. This increase was driven primarily by low single digits growth in both our Neurosurgery and Instruments portfolios as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in our Neurosurgery portfolio was driven primarily by growth in advanced energy and CSF management, partially offset by the voluntary recall of the CereLink ICP monitoring system.

In the TT segment, revenues were $538.1 million, which was an increase of $20.9 million, or 4.0% as compared to the prior-year period.. Excluding the impact of foreign currency of $3.8 million and the divestiture impact of TWC of $10.2 million, the TT segment revenues in the third quarter increased by $34.9 million. This increase was driven by mid-single digit increases in our Wound Reconstruction business, led by Integra® Dermal Matrices, SurgiMend and ACell MicroMatrix and low double digit increased in our Private Label business driven by higher customer demand and favorable order timing.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $970.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $25.7 million from $944.6 million for the same period last year. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 62.3% in 2022 and 61.2% in 2021. The increase in gross margin percentage was due to higher revenues and a reduction of inventory step up amortization in connection with the acquisition of ACell in the prior year. These were partially offset by CereLink recall impacts, unfavorable regional mix, and higher material and labor costs.

Operating Expenses

The following is a summary of operating expenses as a percent of total revenues:

Years Ended December 31,
20222021
Research and development6.5%6.0%
Selling, general and administrative39.6%41.3%
Intangible asset amortization0.9%1.1%
Total operating expenses47.0%48.4%

Total operating expenses, which consist of research and development, selling, general and administrative, and intangible asset amortization expenses, decreased by $16.0 million or 2.1% to $731.4 million in 2022, compared to $747.4 million in the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses is due to lower selling, general and administrative costs and amortization partially offset by higher R&D spending.

38

The Company continues to manage and prioritize its operating costs to increase organic investments that will drive long-term growth including the support of new product development and introductions, clinical studies, geographic expansion and targeted U.S. sales channel expansion.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $8.1 million as compared to the prior year. This increase in spending resulted from additional spending on new product development, clinical studies and spending related to the EU Medical Device Regulation compliance activities.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $21.1 million as compared to the prior year driven primarily by the $18.1 million reduction in fair value of contingent consideration for ACell. The remainder of the decrease is a result of reduced employee related costs and stock-based compensation, partially offset by increased selling costs on commissions and investment in sales force expansion.

Intangible Asset Amortization

Amortization expense (excluding amounts reported in cost of product revenues for technology-based intangible assets) in 2022 was $13.9 million compared to $16.9 million in 2021 primarily due to a reduction associated with the end of the amortization period for a certain customer relationship intangible asset. In addition, there was a decrease in amortization expense as a result of intangible assets sold with the TWC divestiture.

We may discontinue certain products in the future as we continue to assess the profitability of our product lines. As our profitability assessment evolves, we may make further decisions about our trade names and incur additional impairment charges or accelerated amortization. We expect total annual amortization expense to be approximately $82.3 million in 2023, $81.7 million in 2024, $81.7 million in 2025, $81.5 million in 2026, $79.6 million in 2027 and $551.6 million thereafter.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses

The following is a summary of non-operating income and expenses:

Years Ended December 31,
Dollars in thousands20222021
Interest income$11,917$6,737
Interest expense(49,594)(50,395)
Gain from sale of business64441,798
Other income, net12,00719,307
Total non-operating income and expense$(25,026)$17,447

Interest Income

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $5.2 million as compared to the same period last year primarily due to higher interest rates in 2022 compared to 2021.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $0.8 million as compared to the same period last year primarily from a lower outstanding borrowing on the Senior Secured Credit Facility partially offset by increased interest rates.

Gain from the sale of businesses

On August 31, 2022, the Company completed its previously announced sale of its TWC business to Gentell and recognized $0.6 million as a gain from the sale of the business for the year ended December 31, 2022. On January 4, 2021, the Company completed its sale of its Extremity Orthopedics business and recognized a gain of $41.8 million in the prior year.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $7.3 million. This was primarily due to due unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, as well as lower income associated with the transition services agreement invoicing from the divestiture of the Extremity Orthopedics business.

39

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was 15.6% and 21.2% of income before income taxes in 2022 and 2021, respectively. See Note 13, Income Taxes, in our consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of the United States federal statutory rate to our effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate could vary from year to year depending on, among other factors, tax law changes, the geographic and business mix and taxable earnings and losses. We consider these factors and others, including our history of generating taxable earnings, in assessing our ability to realize deferred tax assets.

Our effective tax rate could vary from year to year depending on, among other factors, tax law changes, the geographic and business mix and taxable earnings and losses. We consider these factors and others, including our history of generating taxable earnings, in assessing our ability to realize deferred tax assets. We estimate our worldwide effective income tax rate for 2023 to be approximately 20.7%, estimated based on existing tax laws.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had $9.7 million of valuation allowance against the remaining $195.2 million of gross deferred tax assets recorded at December 31, 2022. Our deferred tax asset valuation allowance decreased by $0.1 million in 2022, remaining substantially unchanged in 2021. This valuation allowance relates to deferred tax assets for which the Company does not believe it has satisfied the more likely than not threshold for realization.

At December 31, 2022, we had net operating loss carryforwards of $79.5 million for federal income tax purposes, $75.5 million for foreign income tax purposes and $37.9 million for state income tax purposes to offset future taxable income. The federal net operating loss carryforwards increased during 2022 due to the acquisition of SIA. Of the total federal net operating loss carryforwards, $60.9 million expire through 2037 and $18.6 million have an indefinite carryforward period. Regarding the foreign net operating loss carryforwards, $16.4 million have an indefinite carryforward period. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire in 2036.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not provided deferred income taxes on unrepatriated earnings from foreign subsidiaries as they are deemed to be indefinitely reinvested unless there is a manner under which to remit the earnings with no material tax cost. Such taxes would primarily be attributable to foreign withholding taxes and local income taxes when such earnings are distributed.

GEOGRAPHIC PRODUCT REVENUES AND OPERATIONS

The Company attributes revenues to geographic areas based on the location of the customer. Total revenue by major geographic area consisted of the following:

Years Ended December 31,
Dollars in thousands20222021
United States$1,126,810$1,089,526

Asia Pacific176,477182,034
Rest of World83,47679,561
Total Revenues$1,557,666$1,542,448

The Company generates significant revenues outside the U.S., a portion of which are U.S. dollar-denominated transactions conducted with customers that generate revenue in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which those customers do business could have an impact on the demand for the Company's products in foreign countries. Local economic conditions, regulatory compliance or political considerations, the effectiveness of our sales representatives and distributors, local competition and changes in local medical practice all may combine to affect our sales into markets outside the U.S.

Domestic revenues increased by $37.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period last year. These increases are inclusive of $4.4 million related to the divestiture of the TWC business. European sales decreased by $20.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period last year. Sales to customers in Asia Pacific decreased by $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period last year. The Rest of the World for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $3.9 million compared to the same period last year. The international revenues were impacted by a $37.9 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact as well as $5.8 million related to the divestiture of the TWC business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working Capital

At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, working capital was $840.6 million and $813.7 million, respectively. Working capital consists of total current assets less total current liabilities as presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash and Marketable Securities

The Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $456.7 million and $513.4 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which are valued based on Level 1 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2022, our non-U.S. subsidiaries held approximately $229.8 million of cash and cash equivalents that are available for use outside the U.S. The Company asserts that it has the ability and intends to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings from its foreign operations unless there is no material tax cost to remit the earnings into the U.S.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

Operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $48.0 million compared to the same period in 2021. Net income after removing the impact of the gain on sale of businesses and non-cash adjustments increased for the year ended December 31, 2022, by approximately $9.6 million as compared to 2021 primarily due to earnings from higher revenues. The changes in assets and liabilities, net of business acquisitions, decreased cash flows by $39.4 million in 2022 as compared to the increase in cash flows of $18.2 million for the same period in 2021. The change in 2022 is mainly attributable to increases in inventory and accounts receivable. The increase in inventory is due to a build up of safety stock due to supply chain challenges. The increase in accounts receivable is due to increased sales as well as a decrease in days sales outstanding.

Operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $108.6 million compared to the same period in 2020. Net income after removing the impact of the gain on sale of business and non-cash adjustments increased for the year ended December 31, 2021, by approximately $49.1 million as compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to the continuing revenue recovery in the current year as compared to the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year. The changes in assets and liabilities, net of business acquisitions, increased cash flows from operating activities in the current year by $18.2 million compared to the decrease of $41.3 million for the same period in 2020. The improvement in 2021 working capital is attributable to a decrease in inventory of $5.4 million due to investments in building safety stock made in the prior year where inventory increased by $48.3 million as well as improved sales in 2021.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we paid $42.3 million for capital expenditures to support operations improvement initiatives at a number of our manufacturing facilities and other information technology investments, $51.5 million to acquire SIA, as well as the $4.7 million payment related to the final developmental milestone for Rebound Therapeutics Corporation. This was partially offset by the net proceeds from the sale of the TWC business of $24.0 million. The proceeds from the sale of the TWC business of $27.8 million is presented net of cash transferred of $3.5 million and other transaction fees. Additionally, the Company also received $4.9 million proceeds on cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedge.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we paid a net cash amount of $303.9 million in relation to the acquisition of ACell and received net proceeds of $190.5 million for the sale of the Extremity Orthopedics business. The Company also paid for $48.0 million capital expenditures to support operations improvement initiatives at a number of our manufacturing facilities and other information technology investments.

Cash Flows (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities

Uses of cash from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily related to the purchase of treasury stock of $125.0 million under the 2022 accelerated share repurchase agreement that was completed in the first quarter of 2022. In addition, the Company had $24.6 million in cash taxes paid in net equity settlements as a result of the departure of the former chief executive officer of the Company. The Company also had repayments of $148.6 million under our Senior Credit Facility and Securitization Facility offset by $40.8 million borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility and Securitization Facility. The Company also had $5.5 million proceeds from the exercise of stock options. In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we refer to the sixth amendment and restatement of our Senior Credit Facility with a syndicate of lending banks with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent as the "Senior Credit Facility."

Uses of cash from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 were repayments of $125.5 million on the revolving portion of our Senior Credit Facility and Securitization Facility. In addition, the Company had $4.8 million in cash taxes paid in net equity settlements. These uses were offset by $6.8 million proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $25.5 million borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility and Securitization Facility.

Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement, Convertible Senior Notes, Securitization and Related Hedging Activities

See Note 5, Debt, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for a discussion of our Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement, the 2025 Notes and Securitization Facility and Note 6, Derivative Instruments to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for discussion of our hedging activities. We are forecasting that sales and earnings for the next twelve months will be sufficient to remain in compliance with our financial covenants under the terms of the February 2020 Amendment and July 2020 Amendment to the Senior Credit Facility.

Share Repurchase Plan

On January 12, 2022, the Company entered into a $125.0 million accelerated share repurchase ("2022 ASR") and received 1.48 million shares of the Company common stock at inception of the 2022 ASR, which represented approximately 80% of the expected total shares under the 2022 ASR. On March 24, 2022, the early exercise provision was exercised by 2022 ASR counterparty. Upon settlement on March 24, 2022, the Company received an additional 0.46 million shares determined using the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the term of the 2022 ASR.

On April 26, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $225.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The program allows the Company to repurchase its shares opportunistically from time to time. The repurchase authorization expires in December 2024. This stock repurchase authorization replaces the previous $225 million stock repurchase authorization, of which $100 million remained authorized at the time of its replacement, and which was otherwise set to expire on December 31, 2022. Purchases may be affected through one or more open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, or a combination of the foregoing.

On January 26, 2023, the Company entered into a $150 million accelerated share repurchase agreement ("2023 ASR") and received 2.1 million shares of the Company common stock at inception of the 2023 ASR, which represented approximately 80% of the expected total shares of under the 2023 SAR. The remaining repurchase transactions are expected to be completed in the first half of 2023.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no repurchases of the Company’s common stock as part of the shar e repurchase authorization.

See Note 8, Treasury Stock, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for further details.

Dividend Policy

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our formation. Our Senior Credit Facility limits the amount of dividends that we may pay. Any future determinations to pay cash dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

Capital Resources

We believe that our cash and available borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are sufficient to finance our operations and capital expenditures over the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the growth of our business, the timing and introduction of new products and investments, strategic plans and acquisitions, among others. Additional sources of liquidity available to us include short term borrowings and the issuance of long term debt and equity securities.

42

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off–balance sheet financing arrangements during the year-ended December 31, 2022 that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our interests.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We will continue to have cash requirements to support seasonal working capital needs and capital expenditures, to pay interest, to service debt, and to fund acquisitions. As part of our ongoing operations, we enter into contractual arrangements that obligate us to make future cash payments.

Our primary obligations include principal and interest payments on revolving portion and Term Loan component of the Senior Credit Facility, Securitization Facility and Convertible Securities. See Note 5, Debt, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for details. The Company also leases some of our manufacturing facilities and office buildings which have future minimum lease payments associated. See Note 11, Leases and Related Party Leases, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for a schedule of our future minimum lease payments. Amounts related to the Company's other obligations, including employment agreements and purchase obligations were not material.

The Company has contingent consideration obligations related to prior and current year acquisitions and future pension contribution obligations. See Note 10, Retirement Benefit Plans, and Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for details. The associated obligations are not fixed. The Company also has a liability for uncertain tax benefits including interest and penalties. See Note 12, Income Taxes to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for details. The Company cannot make a reliable estimate of the period in which the uncertain tax benefits may be realized.

Employee Termination Benefits

The Company incurred employee termination costs on restructuring activities associated with a closure of a manufacturing facility located in France, outsourcing plans for select transactional back office activities, and executive reorganization in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. In 2021, the Company incurred employee termination costs on restructuring activities associated with the closure of the manufacturing facility in France. Restructuring costs were included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for further details.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND THE USE OF ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates affecting amounts reported or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements include allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and sales returns and allowances, net realizable value of inventories, valuation of intangible assets including amortization periods for acquired intangible assets, discount rates and estimated projected cash flows used to value and test impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, estimates of projected cash flows and depreciation and amortization periods for long-lived assets, computation of taxes, valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, the valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation of derivative instruments, valuation of contingent liabilities, the fair value of debt instruments and loss contingencies. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances.

As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and recent variants of the virus, as well as the adverse impacts to global economic conditions, supply chain and our operations, there may be impact to future estimates including, but not limited to, inventory valuations, fair value measurements, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, the effectiveness of the Company’s hedging instruments, deferred tax valuation allowances, and allowances for doubtful accounts receivable.

We believe that the following accounting policies, which form the basis for developing these estimates, are those that are most critical to the presentation of our consolidated financial statements and require the more difficult subjective and complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Because of this uncertainty, actual results could differ from these estimates.

43

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of purchased materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate ending inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence or shelf-life expiration. Our evaluation includes an analysis of historical sales levels by product, projections of future demand by product, the risk of technological or competitive obsolescence for our products, general market conditions, a review of the shelf-life expiration dates for our products, and the feasibility of reworking or using excess or obsolete products or components in the production or assembly of other products that are not obsolete or for which we do not have excess quantities in inventory. To the extent that we determine there are excess or obsolete quantities or quantities with a shelf life that is too near its expiration for us to reasonably expect that we can sell those products prior to their expiration, we adjust their carrying value to estimated net realizable value. If future demand or market conditions are lower than our projections, or if we are unable to rework excess or obsolete quantities into other products, we may record further adjustments to the carrying value of inventory through a charge to cost of product revenues in the period the revision is made. As of December 31, 2022, our reserve for inventory obsolesce is 6% of total inventory on our consolidated balance sheets.

The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with certain products prior to regulatory approval, based on management's judgment of probable economic benefit. The Company could be required to expense previously capitalized costs related to pre-approval inventory upon a change in such judgment, due to, among other potential factors, a denial or delay of approval by necessary regulatory bodies or a decision by management to discontinue the related development program.

Acquisitions

Results of operations of acquired companies are included in the Company’s results of operations as of the respective acquisition dates. The Company accounts for the acquisition of a business in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC Topic 805"). Amounts paid to acquire a business are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs and costs to restructure the acquired company are expensed as incurred.

Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value as measured on the date of acquisition. The value recorded is based on estimates of future financial projections under various potential scenarios using either a Monte Carlo simulation or the probability-weighted income approach derived from revenue estimates and probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving contingent obligations. Contingent payments related to acquisitions consist of development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments, in addition to sales-based payments, and are valued using discounted cash flow techniques. Each quarter until such contingent amounts are earned, the fair value of the liability is remeasured at each reporting period and adjusted as a component of operating expenses based on changes to the underlying assumptions. The change in the fair value of sales-based payments is based upon future revenue estimates and increases or decreases as revenue estimates or expectation of timing of payment charges. The estimates used to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liability are subject to significant judgment and actual results are likely to differ from the amounts originally recorded.

The Company determines the fair value of acquired intangible assets based on detailed valuations that use certain information and assumptions provided by management. The Company allocates any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired to goodwill. Determining the fair value of these intangible assets, acquired as part of a business combination requires the Company to make significant estimates. These estimates include the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, the discount rate used to discount those cash flows to present value, the assessment of the asset’s life cycle, and the consideration of legal, technical, regulatory, economic, and competitive risks. The fair value assigned to other intangible assets is determined by estimating the future cash flows of each project or technology and discounting the net cash flows back to their present values. The discount rate used is determined at the time of measurement in accordance with accepted valuation methodologies.

In our most recent acquisition of SIA, the key areas of judgement relating to the valuation of the acquired definite-lived developed technology intangible assets were the net revenue growth rates, cost of sales, selling and marketing costs, discounts rates, and asset useful life. The key areas of judgement relating to the valuation of the contingent consideration are the inputs to the Monte-Carlo model including revenue-adjusted discount rate, counterpart discount rate, revenue volatility and forecasted revenue, earnings before income taxes and fixed costs. These assumptions were developed with the assistance of a third-party valuation expert.

44

Acquired IPR&D is recognized at fair value and initially characterized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, irrespective of whether the acquired IPR&D has an alternative future use. The Company uses the income approach to determine the fair value of developed technology and IPR&D acquired in a business combination. This approach determines fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to the respective asset over its useful life and then discounting these after-tax cash flows back to a present value. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of those asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each product including net revenues, cost of sales, R&D costs, selling and marketing costs, the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the assessment of each asset’s life cycle, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream. The Company also uses the income approach, as described above, to determine the estimated fair value of certain other identifiable intangible assets including customer relationships, trade names and business licenses. Customer relationships represent established relationships with customers, which provide a ready channel for the sale of additional products and services. Trade names represent acquired company and product names.

IPR&D acquired in a business combination is capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Development costs incurred after the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Upon receipt of regulatory approval, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is then accounted for as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortized on a straight-line basis or accelerated basis, as appropriate, over its estimated useful life. If the research and development project is subsequently abandoned, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is charged to expense. IPR&D acquired outside of a business combination is expensed immediately.

Due to the uncertainty associated with research and development projects, there is risk that actual results will differ materially from the original cash flow projections and that the research and development project will result in a successful commercial product. The risks associated with achieving commercialization include, but are not limited to, delay or failure to obtain regulatory approvals to conduct clinical trials, delay or failure to obtain required market clearances, delays or issues with patent issuance, or validity and litigation.

If the acquired net assets do not constitute a business under the acquisition method of accounting, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition and no goodwill is recognized. In an asset acquisition, the amount allocated to acquired IPR&D with no alternative future use is charged to expense at the acquisition date. Payments that would be recognized as contingent consideration in a business combination are expensed when probable in an asset acquisition. Refer to Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for details.

Valuation of Goodwill

The excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets of acquired businesses is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is reviewed for impairment at the reporting unit level annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company's assessment of the recoverability of goodwill is based upon a comparison of the carrying value of goodwill with its estimated fair value. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of goodwill include the Company's discounts rate and forecasted operating results. The Company had goodwill on the balance sheet of $1 billion as of December 31, 2022. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment in the third quarter every year in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other ("ASC Topic 350"), and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Refer to Note 7, Goodwill and Other Intangibles, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for more information.

Valuation of Identifiable Intangible Assets

The Company tests intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the third quarter in accordance with ASC Topic 350. Additionally, the Company may perform interim tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a indefinite lived intangible asset below its carrying amount. The Company tests for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors, including specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The Company may elect to bypass this qualitative evaluation and perform a quantitative test. There were no changes to identifiable intangible assets as a result of the Company's assessments.

Product rights and other definite-lived intangible assets are tested periodically for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, ("ASC Topic 360") when events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset's carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment test involves comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows. In the event the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying value is considered not recoverable and impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value, calculated using discounted future cash flows. The computed impairment loss is recognized in the period that the impairment occurs.

45

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has $1.1 billion of identifiable intangible assets, net on the balance sheets.

Income Taxes

Since we conduct operations on a global basis, our effective tax rate has and will depend upon the geographic distribution of our pre-tax earnings among locations with varying tax rates. Changes in the tax rates of the various jurisdictions in which we operate affect our profits. In addition, we maintain a reserve for uncertain tax benefits, changes to which could impact our effective tax rate in the period such changes are made. The effective tax rate can also be impacted by changes in valuation allowances of deferred tax assets, and tax law changes.

Our provision for income taxes may change period-to-period based on specific events, such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, as well as general factors, including the geographic mix of income before taxes, state and local taxes and the effects of the Company's global income tax strategies. We maintain strategic management and operational activities in overseas subsidiaries. See Note 12, Income Taxes, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K), in our consolidated financial statements for disclosures related to foreign and domestic pretax income, foreign and domestic income tax expense (benefit) and the effect foreign taxes have on our overall effective tax rate.

We recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The amount of the accrual for which an exposure exists is measured by determining the amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement of the position. Components of the reserve are classified as a long-term liability in the consolidated balance sheets. We record interest and penalties accrued in relation to uncertain tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

We believe that we have identified all reasonably identifiable exposures and that the reserve we have established for identifiable exposures is appropriate under the circumstances; however, it is possible that additional exposures exist and that exposures will be settled at amounts different from the amounts reserved. It is also possible that changes in facts and circumstances could cause us to either materially increase or reduce the carrying amount of our tax reserves.

Our deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their basis for income tax purposes, and the temporary differences created by the tax effects of capital loss, net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We record valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We could recognize no benefit from our deferred tax assets or we could recognize some or all of the future benefit depending on the amount and timing of taxable income we generate in the future.

We intend to indefinitely reinvest substantially all of our foreign earnings in our foreign subsidiaries unless there is a tax–free manner under which to remit the earnings. The current analysis indicates that we have sufficient U.S. liquidity, including borrowing capacity, to fund foreseeable U.S. cash needs without requiring the repatriation of foreign cash. One time or unusual items that may impact our ability or intent to keep the foreign earnings and cash indefinitely reinvested include significant U.S. acquisitions, loans from a foreign subsidiary, and changes in tax laws.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not provided deferred income taxes on unrepatriated earnings from foreign subsidiaries as they are deemed to be indefinitely reinvested unless there is a manner under which to remit the earnings with no material tax cost. Such taxes would primarily be attributable to foreign withholding taxes and local income taxes when such earnings are distributed.
