GENERAL
Integra, headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, is a world leader in medical technology. The Company was founded in 1989 with the acquisition of an engineered collagen technology platform used to repair and regenerate tissue. Since then, 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 a combination of several global acquisitions and development of products internally to further meet the needs of its customers and impact patient care.
Integra manufactures and sells products in two reportable business segments: Codman Specialty Surgical and Tissue Technologies. In conjunction with the sale of the Extremity and Orthopedics business, the Company rebranded the Orthopedics and Tissue Technologies segment as Tissue Technologies in the first quarter of 2021. See Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures, for details. Our Codman Specialty Surgical products comprise of specialty surgical implants and instrumentation for a broad range of specialties. This segment includes products and solutions for dural access and repair, instruments, advanced energy, cerebral spinal fluid ("CSF") management and neuro monitoring including market leading product portfolios used in neurosurgery operation suites and critical care units. Codman Specialty Surgical products are sold through a combination of directly employed sales representatives, distributors and wholesalers, depending on the customer call point. Our Tissue Technologies product portfolios consist of differentiated regenerative technology products for soft tissue repair and tissue regeneration products, and surgical reconstruction. This business also includes private label sales of a broad set of our regenerative and wound care medicine technologies. Tissue Technologies products are sold through directly employed sales representatives and distributors focused on their respective surgical specialties, and strategic partners.
We have key manufacturing and research facilities located in California, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Puerto Rico and Switzerland. We also 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 tuck-in 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:

Table of Contents
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. In December 2020, Integra entered into a merger agreement to acquire ACell, Inc., an innovative regenerative medicine company specializing in the manufacture of porcine urinary bladder extracellular matrices. This acquisition, which closed on January 20, 2021, expands our product offering of regenerative technology and is complementary to Integra’s existing tissue technologies portfolio. The acquisition also supports our long-term growth and profitability strategy with a financial profile similar to Integra’s tissue products. In 2021, we are focused on the integration of ACell Inc., into our Tissue Technologies business segment, while also continuing the development of regenerative tissue products for complex wound management that will benefit the expanded portfolio. See Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures , for 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 for significant returns on investment. We continue to advance the development of pioneering technologies from our 2019 acquisitions, Arkis Biosciences, Inc. and Rebound Therapeutics Corporation. 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. We continue to identify ways of optimizing our portfolio including identifying low-growth, low-margin products and product franchises for discontinuation.
In January 2021, we completed the sale of our Extremity Orthopedics business to Smith & Nephew for approximately $240 million in cash subject to finalization of working capital adjustments. This transaction enables us to increase our investments in our core Neurosurgery and Tissue Technology businesses which will strengthen our existing leadership positions in both areas, fund pipeline opportunities to drive future growth and expand our addressable markets. See Note 2, Acquisitions and Divestitures for details.
Commercial Channel Investments. With acquisitions, new product introductions and a broader portfolio of products, 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 expanded our two-tier specialist model to increase our presence in focused segments. We created a virtual selling organization to help serve the evolving needs of our customers. 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. These strong investments in our international sales channel position us well for expansion and long-term growth. In addition, we continue to build upon our leadership brands across our product franchises to enable us to engage customers through enterprise-wide contracts.
Customer Experience. We aspire to be ranked as a best-in-class provider and are committed to strengthen our relationships with all customers. We continue to invest in technologies, systems and processes to enhance the customer experience. Additionally, we launched new digital programs, resources and virtual product training to drive continued customer familiarity with our growing portfolio of medical technologies globally.
Clinical and Product Development Activities
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 each area, we continue to benefit from products launched over the past several years.
Within our Codman Specialty Surgical segment, the Company received FDA clearance in 2020 to treat malignant and benign tumors, but not limited to meningiomas and gliomas, for its CUSA® Clarity Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator System, the first and only ultrasonic tissue ablation system with this specific indication. The FDA clearance is based on a wealth of peer-reviewed clinical publications and 40 years of surgical cases involving resection of brain and spinal tumors.
Additionally, the Company continued to reap the benefits of our product launches from the prior year from the Codman Specialty Surgical segment, 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. We are focused on the development of core clinical applications in our
electromechanical technologies portfolio. Also, we updated our CUSA Clarity platform to incorporate a new ultrasonic handpiece, surgical tips and integrated electrosurgical capabilities. We continue to work with several instrument partners to bring new surgical instrument platforms to the market. This enables us to add new instruments with minimal expense and invest in ongoing development, such as our next generation of LED technology with our DUO LED Surgical Headlight System.

We also continued to advance the early-stage technology platforms we acquired during 2019. Through the Arkis Biosciences acquisition, we added a platform technology, CerebroFlo® external ventricular drainage (EVD) 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. We also acquired a company, Rebound Therapeutics, that specialized in single-use medical devices that enable minimally invasive access with enhanced lighting and visualization to the neurosurgery suite and launched the MIRROR registry to collect data on this new device. Importantly, these new platforms provide us with the opportunity to expand into new, faster growth therapeutic areas, such as intracerebral hemorrhage and minimally invasive neurosurgery.
Within our Tissue Technologies segment, in 2020, we launched AmnioExcel® Plus Placental Allograft Membrane, a human placental tissue product for treatment of wounds. We also completed a randomized clinical study of PriMatrix for use in the closure of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU). The Company also 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 during these challenging times, IBWM helps address the efficiency needed in operating rooms by reducing both the operating time and costs to hospitals and patients.
COVID-19 Pandemic
During this global crisis, the Company's focus remained on supporting patients, providing customers with life-saving products, and protecting the well-being of our employees. The rapid and evolving spread of the virus has resulted in an unprecedented challenge to the global healthcare industry, as medical resources were reallocated to fight COVID-19. During the first half of 2020, in response to the pandemic, we acted swiftly by implementing protocols to ensure continuity of our manufacturing and distribution sites around the world and to provide for the safety of our employees.
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company's revenues were still impacted due to COVID-19 resurgences and lower surgical procedural volumes, though not to the levels seen in early 2020. As a result, the Company has continued to manage its operating costs in this environment. We remain confident that the underlying markets in which the Company competes remain attractive over the long term. We also remain focused on managing the business for the long-term, including preserving full time jobs needed to support the rebound in surgical procedure volumes. The Company's adaptability and resiliency in the face of this unprecedented crisis is made possible in part by prior investments in technology infrastructure and operations, as well as our talented and committed global workforce.
Capital markets and worldwide economies have also been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause a local and/or global economic recession. Any such economic recession could have a material adverse effect on the Company's long-term business as hospitals curtail and reduce capital as well as overall spending. The COVID-19 pandemic and local actions, such as “shelter-in-place” orders and restrictions on travel and access to our customers or temporary closures of our facilities or the facilities of our suppliers and their contract manufacturers, could further significantly impact our sales and our ability to ship our products and supply our customers. Any of these events could negatively impact the number of surgical and medical intervention procedures performed and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
FDA Matters
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, or HCT/Ps. An HCT/P is a product containing or consisting of human cells or tissue intended for transplantation into a human patient.
On June 22, 2015, the FDA issued an Untitled Letter (the "Untitled Letter") alleging that BioD's morselized amniotic membrane tissue based products do not meet the criteria for regulation as HCT/Ps solely under Section 361 of the Public Health Services Act ("Section 361") and that, as a result, BioD would need a biologics license to lawfully market those morselized products. Since the issuance of the Untitled Letter, BioD and more recently the Company have been in discussions with the FDA to communicate their disagreement with the FDA’s assertion that certain products are more than minimally manipulated. The FDA has not changed its position that certain of the BioD acquired products are not eligible for marketing solely under Section 361. In July, 2020, the FDA issued the final guidance document related to human tissue titled, “Regulatory Considerations for Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products: Minimal Manipulation and Homologous Use” (the “HCT/PFinal Guidance”). This Guidance document supersedes the November 2017 guidance.
The HCT/P Final Guidance maintains the FDA’s position that products such as the Company’s morselized amniotic membrane tissue-based products do not meet the criteria for regulation solely as HCT/Ps. In addition, the FDA articulated a risk-based approach to enforcement and, while some uses for amniotic membrane tissue-based products would have as much as thirty-six months of enforcement discretion, other high risk uses could be subject to immediate enforcement action. The revised final
34
Table of Contents
guidance extends the discretionary enforcement period to May 31, 2021. The Company does not believe the uses for its amniotic membrane tissue-based products fall into the high-risk category.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company has not received any further notice of enforcement action from the FDA regarding its morselized amniotic tissue-based products. Nonetheless, we can make no assurances that the FDA will continue to exercise its enforcement discretion with respect to the Company’s morselized amniotic membrane tissue-based products, and any potential action of the FDA could have a financial impact regarding the sales of such products.
Revenues from BioD morselized amniotic membrane-based products for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were less than 1.0% of consolidated revenues.
On March 7, 2019, TEI Biosciences, Inc. a subsidiary of the Company received a Warning Letter (the “Warning Letter”), dated March 6, 2019, from the FDA. The warning letter relates to quality systems issues at our 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. The warning letter does not restrict the Company’s ability to manufacture or ship products or require the recall of any products. Nor does it restrict our ability to seek FDA 510(k) clearance of products. The letter states that requests for Certificates to Foreign Governments would not be granted. However, due to our progress reports, the FDA agreed to resume issuing Certificates to Foreign Governments to TEI due to substantial progress and the length of time it takes to resolve the Warning Letter. 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 (EBM) products. The Company does not expect to incur material incremental expense for remediation activities. We cannot, however, 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 three months ended March 31, 2021 were approximately 4.5% of consolidated revenues.
ACQUISITIONS & DIVESTITURES
Divestiture
On January 4, 2021, the Company completed its previously announced sale of its Extremity Orthopedics business to Smith & Nephew USD Limited. 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 and 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 $42.9 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 March 31, 2021. See Note 2- Acquisitions and Divestitures for details.
Acquisition
On January 20, 2021, the Company acquired ACell Inc. for an acquisition purchase price of $305.4 million plus contingent consideration 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 ("UBM"), a technology platform derived from porcine urinary bladder extracellular matrix. See Note 2- Acquisitions and Divestitures 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, implement a common ERP system, 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Summary
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $45.4 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, as compared to $9.2 million or $0.11 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily driven by an increase in non-operating income primarily due to the gain of $42.9 million recognized in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of the sale of its Extremity Orthopedics business to Smith & Nephew. The Company also benefited from slightly higher revenues and lower operating expenses in the current period as compared to the prior period.

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
The Company's revenues and gross margin on product revenues were as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2021 2020
Segment Net Sales (Dollars in thousands)
Codman Specialty Surgical $ 241,241 $ 231,440
Tissue Technologies $ 118,830 $ 122,884
Total revenues $ 360,071 $ 354,324
Cost of goods sold $ 145,823 $ 133,476
Gross margin on total revenues $ 214,248 $ 220,848
Gross margin as a percentage of total revenues 59.5 % 62.3 %
Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 as Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2020
Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, total revenues increased by $5.7 million to $360.1 million from $354.3 million for the same period in 2020. Domestic revenues increased by $0.9 million, or 0.4%, to $247.8 million and were 68.8% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $246.9 million during the same period in the prior year. International revenues increased by $4.8 million or 4.5% to $112.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $107.5 million during the same period in the prior year. Foreign exchange fluctuations had a favorable impact of $5.9 million on revenues for the quarter.
In the Codman Specialty Surgical segment ("CSS"), revenues were $241.2 million which was an increase of $9.8 million, or 4.2% as compared to the prior-year period. The Company saw growth within our Neurosurgery portfolio primarily with sales in advanced energy increasing high single digits as a result of capital and disposable sales recovery in our international markets. Sales in our instruments portfolio increased low double digits as compared to the first quarter of 2020 primarily driven by recovery in physician office visits in comparison to the prior year.
In the Tissue Technologies ("TT") segment, revenues were $118.8 million which was a decrease of $4.1 million, or 3.3% from the prior-year period. The decline in revenue was primarily as a result of the sale of the Company's Extremity Orthopedics product portfolio to Smith and Nephew which occurred on January 4, 2021. This decline was partially offset by sales in our Wound Reconstruction portfolio which increased due to the acquisition of ACell Inc. which was completed on January 20, 2021 and growth from our legacy portfolio such as Primatrix and Integra skin products.
We continue to closely monitor local, regional, and global COVID-19 surges as well as new variants of the virus for an impact on procedures during Q2 2021 and beyond. The reallocation of hospital resources to treat COVID-19 may continue to cause a financial strain on healthcare systems and reduce procedural volumes. Additionally, the Company does not expect all markets and product lines to improve at the same rate based on the level of recurrence of COVID-19 and its associated impact on the pace of procedure recovery and economic normalization.
Gross Margin
For three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 59.5% and 62.3%, respectively. The decrease in gross margin percentage was due to increased amortization associated with technology-based intangible assets, inventory step-up amortization in connection with the ACell Inc. acquisition, revenue mix and higher manufacturing costs. The product revenue mix was impacted by the timing of the Extremity Orthopedics divestiture relative to the partial quarter benefit from ACell, and a higher mix of international revenue, which has lower gross margins than that of domestic revenue. The higher manufacturing costs were mainly due to higher idle capacity relating to the impact of COVID resurgences on our workforce.

Operating Expenses
The following is a summary of operating expenses as a percent of total revenues:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2021 2020
Research and development 6.2 % 5.9 %
Selling, general and administrative 43.5 % 46.8 %
Intangible asset amortization 1.3 % 2.0 %
Total operating expenses 51.0 % 54.7 %
Total operating expenses, which consist of research and development, selling, general and administrative, and amortization expenses, decreased by $10.2 million, or 5.3% to $183.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $193.7 million in the same period in 2020. The Company has continued to manage its operating costs as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also began to benefit from synergies as a result of the ACell Inc. acquisition and the sale of the Extremity Orthopedic business.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $1.6 million as compared to the same period in prior year. The Company continues to invest in R&D programs despite the challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative costs decreased by $9.3 million as compared to the same period in prior year resulting from less spending on travel, events and other discretionary expenses, as well as benefits from synergies as a result of the ACell Inc. acquisition and the sale of the Extremity and Orthopedic business. The Company has continued to manage its operating costs as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Intangible Asset Amortization
A mortization expense (excluding amounts reported in cost of product revenues for technology-based intangible assets) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $4.5 million compared to $7.0 million for the same period in prior year primarily due to a reduction in amortization expense associated with intangible assets sold in conjunction with the sale of the business during the current year and accelerated amortization expense associated with an intangible asset recorded in the prior year.
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 $78.8 million in 2022, $78.0 million in 2023, $77.3 million in 2024, $77.3 million in 2025, $77.2 million in 2026 and $582.7 million thereafter.

Income Taxes
Three Months Ended March 31,
2021 2020
(In thousands)
Income before income taxes $ 67,278 $ 11,442
Income tax (benefit) expense 21,884 2,262
Effective tax rate 32.5 % 19.8 %
The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were 32.5% and 19.8%, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the primary driver of the higher tax rate is the tax impact of the gain from the sale of the business, which closed during the first quarter.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the primary drivers of the rate were lower income impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with a $3.3 million valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets.
The effective tax rate may vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of taxable earnings and losses, tax planning and settlements with various taxing authorities. We consider these factors and others, including the Company's history of generating taxable earnings, in assessing our ability to realize tax assets on a quarterly basis.
While it is often difficult to predict the outcome or the timing of the resolution of a particular matter with the various federal, state, and foreign tax authorities, we believe that our reserves reflect the most probable outcome of known tax contingencies. Settlement of a particular issue would usually require the use of cash. A favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction to our annual effective tax rate in the year of resolution. The Company's tax reserves are presented in the balance sheet within other liabilities, except for amounts relating to items that we expect to pay in the coming year, which would be classified as current income taxes payable.

The Company attributes revenues to geographic areas based on the location of the customer. Total revenue by major geographic area consisted of the following:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2021 2020
(In thousands)
United States $ 247,793 $ 246,852
Europe 45,819 45,896
Asia Pacific 47,295 39,960
Rest of World 19,164 21,616
Total Revenues $ 360,071 $ 354,324
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 $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period last year. European sales decreased by $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period last year. Sales to customers in Asia Pacific increased by $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 driven by accelerated recovery in both the Japan and China markets in relation to otherwise negative COVID-19 impacts. The Rest of the World for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased by $2.5 million compared to the same period last year primarily due to adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working Capital
The working capital as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $626.8 million and $836.2 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 $409.0 million and $470.2 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 respectively, which are valued based on Level 1 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2021, our non-U.S. subsidiaries held approximately $251.6 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. The Company does not anticipate the need to repatriate earnings from foreign subsidiaries as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Share Repurchase Plan
On December 7, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $225 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 2022. The Company has $225.0 million remaining under the share repurchase of its Common Stock. The price and timing of any future purchases under the share repurchase program will depend on factors such as levels of cash generation from operations, the volume of stock option exercises by employees, cash requirements for acquisitions, dividends, economic and market conditions and stock price.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 2.1 million shares of Integra’s common stock as a part of our previous share repurchase authorization. The Company utilized $100.0 million of net proceeds from the offering of the

Convertible Senior Notes to execute the share repurchase transactions. This included $7.6 million from certain purchasers of the convertible notes in conjunction with the closing of the offering. On February 5, 2020, the Company entered into a $92.4 million accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") to complete the remaining $100.0 million of share repurchase. The Company received 1.3 million shares through the ASR, which represented approximately 80% of the expected total shares. Upon settlement of the ASR in June 2020, the Company received an additional 0.6 million shares determined using the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the term of the transaction.
Dividend Policy
The Company has 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 for the foreseeable future. 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off–balance sheet financing arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2021 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.
