Overview
We sell, manufacture, market and support diagnostic and specialty products and solutions for veterinary practitioners. Our portfolio includes Point of Care ("POC") diagnostic laboratory instruments and consumables including rapid assay diagnostic products; digital cytology services; POC digital imaging diagnostic products; local and cloud-based data services; veterinary practice information management software solutions ("PIMS") and related software and support; reference laboratory testing; allergy testing and immunotherapy; heartworm preventive products; and vaccines. Our primary focus is on supporting companion animal veterinarians in providing care to their patients. Our business is composed of two operating and reportable segments:North America and International.North America consists ofthe United States ,Canada andMexico . International consists of geographies outside ofNorth America , primarily our operations inGermany ,Italy ,Spain ,France ,Switzerland ,Australia andMalaysia . The product groups described below are offered in both segments unless otherwise noted. -34- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- POC Laboratory Instruments and Other Sales include outright instrument sales, revenue recognized from sales-type lease treatment, and other revenue sources, such as charges for repairs and reference laboratory sales. Revenue from our POC laboratory consumables, a recurring revenue stream, primarily involves placing an instrument under contract in the field and generating future revenue from testing consumables, such as cartridges and reagents, as that instrument is used. Instruments placed under subscription agreements are considered operating or sales-type leases, depending on the duration and other factors of the underlying agreement. A loss of, or disruption in, the supply of consumables we are selling to an installed base of instruments could substantially harm our business. The majority of our POC laboratory and other non-imaging instruments and consumables are supplied by third parties, who typically own the product rights and supply the product to us under marketing and/or distribution agreements. Major products in this area include our instruments for chemistry, hematology, blood gas, urine fecal, and immunodiagnostic testing and their affiliated operating consumable, as well as our rapid assay diagnostic tests and digital cytology services. More recently, the Company has developed and/or acquired product rights pertaining to our urine fecal and immunodiagnostic platforms. Radiography is the largest product offering in POC Imaging and Informatics, which includes digital and computed radiography, ultrasound instruments, and diagnostic data and support. Radiography solutions typically consist of a combination of hardware and software placed with a customer, often combined with an ongoing service and support contract. Our experience has been that most of the revenue is generated at the time of sale, in contrast to the POC diagnostic laboratory placements discussed above where ongoing consumable revenue is often a larger component of economic value as a given instrument is used. In 2022, the Company acquired VetZ, a provider of PIMS and other clinical practice-related applications, which are primarily offered in our International segment. Pharmaceuticals, Vaccines and Diagnostic ("PVD") revenue primarily includes pharmaceuticals and biologicals as well as research and development, licensing and royalty revenue. Since items in this area are often single use by their nature, our typical aim is to build customer satisfaction and loyalty for each product, generate repeat annual sales from existing customers and expand our customer base in the future. Products in this area are both supplied by third parties and provided by us. Major products and services in this area include heartworm preventives and allergy test kits, allergy immunotherapy and testing. Other Vaccines and Pharmaceuticals ("OVP") revenue is generated in ourUSDA , FDA and DEA licensed production facility inDes Moines, Iowa . We view this facility as an asset which could allow us to control our cost of goods on any pharmaceuticals and vaccines that we may commercialize in the future. We have increased integration of this facility with our operations elsewhere. For example, virtually all of ourU.S. inventory, excluding our imaging products, is stored at this facility and related fulfillment logistics are managed there. Our OVP revenue includes vaccines and pharmaceuticals produced for third parties. OVP is attributable only to theNorth America segment. -35- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our products are ultimately sold primarily to or through veterinarians. The acceptance of our products by veterinarians is critical to our success. These products are sold directly to end users by us as well as through distribution relationships, such as the sale of kits to conduct blood testing to third-party veterinary diagnostic laboratories and sales to independent third-party distributors. Revenue from direct sales and distribution relationships represented 82% and 18%, respectively, of revenue for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 . Revenue from direct sales and distribution relationships represented 80% and 20%, respectively, of revenue for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . OnMarch 31, 2023 , we entered into a Merger Agreement withAntech Diagnostics, Inc. Refer to Note 1, Business Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for details of the Merger.
Effects of Certain Industry and Economic Factors and Trends on Results of Operations
Industry Trends - We continue to see demand for companion animal healthcare, which supported solid growth for POC laboratory diagnostic products and services. We have a healthy liquidity position with cash of$125.2 million as ofMarch 31, 2023 . We continue to be active in pursuits that support our growth in the companion animal healthcare space. Supply Chain and Logistics - Due to our dependence on global suppliers, manufacturers and shipping routes, we are experiencing intermittent delays in receiving supply, increased shipping costs and some targeted increase in materials cost. Because our long-term subscription programs, the commercial program of our largest revenue category, POC laboratory instruments and consumables, include annual price adjustments at a greater of 4% or the consumer price index, we are able to mitigate some of these costs in this highly inflationary environment. Further, we have worked closely with our suppliers to evaluate and identify products with long-lead time parts and provided advanced purchase notification and have secured products in advance to further mitigate supply disruption.
Inflation, Foreign Currency, Interest Rate Risk Impact - Refer to Item 7A.

Results of Operations
Our analysis presented below is organized to provide the information we believe will facilitate an understanding of our historical performance and relevant trends going forward.
-36- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain data derived from our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Loss (in thousands, except per share): Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Revenue, net$ 62,381 $ 64,800 Gross profit 27,399 29,145 Operating expenses 37,822 40,599 Operating loss (10,423) (11,454) Interest and other (income) expense, net (272) 359

Net loss margin and adjusted EBITDA margin are calculated as the ratio of net loss before equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates and adjusted EBITDA, respectively, to revenue. (2) Shares used in the diluted per share calculation for non-GAAP net income per diluted share are (in thousands): 10,521 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to 10,605 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 .
Revenue
Total revenue decreased 3.7% to$62.4 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , compared to$64.8 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . For the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , the decrease in revenue is driven by a 20.6% decrease in POC imaging & informatics, largely as a result of supply chain delays and timing impacting the International segment, lower contract manufacturing sales and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. These decreases are partially offset by increased consumable sales, mainly as a result of net pricing gains, particularly withinNorth America , and increased sales-type lease placements, including increased placements of Element AIM. -37- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased 6.0% to$27.4 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , compared to$29.1 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . Gross margin percentage decreased to 43.9% in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , compared to 45.0% in the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decreases in both gross profit and gross margin percentage were driven by the acquisition of LightDeck. Excluding the impact of the acquisition, gross profit was approximately in line with the prior year period. Gross margin percentage, excluding the impact of the acquisition, increased to 46.8%, driven by increased consumable sales as well as favorable idle plant impacts and product mix within our OVP business. Operating Expenses Selling and marketing expenses were$12.4 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , compared to$12.0 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , an increase of 3.8%, driven primarily by increased employee compensation costs, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation of$0.6 million and favorable foreign exchange impacts. Research and development expenses decreased to$3.1 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , compared to$12.5 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease is primarily driven by the prior year expense of$10.0 million for an exclusive global supply and licensing agreement to adapt and commercialize the Heska Nu.Q® vet cancer screening test. This is partially offset by increased developer costs associated with our Informatics business of$0.3 million and costs related to the acquisition of LightDeck of$0.2 million . General and administrative expenses increased 38.0% to$22.3 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , compared to$16.1 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 driven primarily by increased non-recurring costs related to the proposed Merger of$5.1 million (refer to Note 1 in this Form 10Q), the acquisition of LightDeck of$1.1 million , partially offset by prior year non-recurring costs of$1.0 million primarily related to the acquisition of VetZ. Additionally, we incurred higher ongoing costs related to the acquisition of LightDeck of$1.3 million and higher employee compensation costs of approximately$0.7 million . The increased ongoing costs are partially offset by lower stock-based compensation costs of$1.5 million .
Interest and Other (Income) Expense, net
Interest and other income, net, was$0.3 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , compared to$0.4 million expense in the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The income generated in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 is primarily driven by interest income earned in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 related to our short term investment in a money market fund.
Income Tax Benefit
For the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , the Company had a total income tax benefit of$0.4 million , including$1.1 million of domestic deferred income tax benefit and$0.7 million of current income tax expense. In the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , the Company had a total income tax benefit of$2.2 million , including$2.4 million of domestic deferred income tax benefit and$0.2 million of current income tax expense. The Company recognized$0.6 million in excess tax expense related to employee share-based compensation in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , compared to$0.6 million in excess tax benefit recognized in the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease in tax benefit for the 2023 period versus the 2022 period is due to tax expense from transaction costs and employee stock compensation. -38- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net Loss Attributable to
Net loss attributable to Heska was$10.1 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , compared to$10.0 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The change for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 is due primarily to the dilutive effect of the acquisition of LightDeck as well as lower tax benefit, mostly offset by lower operating costs, primarily due to lower non-recurring costs and lower stock-based compensation charges. Expanded research and development capabilities and manufacturing capacity, which were part of our long-term strategic rationale for the acquisition of LightDeck, will continue to be dilutive in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 was$3.3 million (5.2% adjusted EBITDA margin), compared to$7.7 million (11.9% adjusted EBITDA margin) in the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease is partially driven by the acquisition of LightDeck, which reduced adjusted EBITDA by$2.4 million (and reduced adjusted EBITDA margin by 390 basis points). Excluding the impact of the LightDeck acquisition, adjusted EBITDA decreased by$2.0 million (and adjusted EBITDA margin declined by approximately 270 basis points) due to increased operating expenses driven largely by ongoing employee compensation costs. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the closest comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods presented.
Loss Per Share
Loss per share attributable to Heska was
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share
Non-GAAP EPS was income of$0.17 per diluted share in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to income of$0.27 per diluted share in the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 is primarily driven by the impact of the acquisition of LightDeck and higher ongoing operating costs related to compensation.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in theU.S. ("U.S. GAAP"), we also present EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and non-GAAP net income per diluted share, which are non-GAAP measures. These measures should be viewed as a supplement to, not substitute for, our results of operations presented underU.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate their measures in the same manner. Management uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP net income per diluted share as key profitability measures, which are included in our quarterly analyses of our operating results to our senior management team, our annual budget and related goal setting and other performance measurements. We believe these non-GAAP measures enhance our investors' understanding of our business performance and that not adjusting for the items included in the reconciliations below would hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses on a period-over-period basis or with other businesses. -39- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following tables reconcile our most directly comparable as-reported financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to our non-GAAP financial measures (in thousands, except percentages and per share amounts):

Analysis by Segment
The
TheNorth America segment represented approximately 61.8% of our revenue and the International segment represented approximately 38.2% of our revenue for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , respectively. The following sections and tables set forth, for the periods indicated, certain data derived from our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements Loss (in thousands). North America Segment Three Months Ended March 31, Change Dollar 2023 2022 Change % Change Point of Care Laboratory:$ 25,249 $ 23,284 $ 1,965 8.4 % Instruments & Other 4,243 4,647 (404) (8.7) % Consumables 21,006 18,637 2,369 12.7 % Point of Care Imaging & Informatics 5,828 6,051 (223) (3.7) % PVD 5,433 4,576 857 18.7 % OVP 2,050 3,463 (1,413) (40.8) % Total North America Revenue$ 38,560 $ 37,374 $ 1,186 3.2 % North America Gross Profit$ 18,109 $ 17,908 $ 201 1.1 % North America Gross Margin 47.0 % 47.9 % North America Operating Loss$ (9,206) $ (12,311) $ 3,105 (25.2) % North America Operating Margin (23.9) %

North America segment revenue increased 3.2% to$38.6 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , compared to$37.4 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The$1.2 million increase was driven by a 12.7% increase in POC laboratory consumables, mostly driven by price favorability, partially offset by a 40.8% decrease in OVP sales due to timing. -41- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross profit for theNorth America segment was$18.1 million compared to$17.9 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gross margin was 47.0% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , compared to 47.9% in the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The acquisition of LightDeck unfavorably impacted both gross profit by$1.8 million and gross margin by 460 basis points. Excluding the impact of the acquisition, gross profit and gross margin percentage favorability were driven by increased revenue as a result of higher consumables pricing and favorable idle plant and mix impacts within our OVP business.North America had$9.2 million operating loss in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , compared to operating loss of$12.3 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The reduction in operating loss in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 is driven by increased revenue and profit as well as lower non-recurring and stock-based compensation costs, partially offset by the acquisition of LightDeck and increased employee compensation costs.

International segment revenue was$23.8 million compared to$27.4 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, driven by a 30.0% decline in POC Imaging & Informatics due to supply chain delays and timing, lower consumable sales and unfavorable foreign exchange impact of$1.1 million , partially offset by 28.2% increase in instrument sales due to Element AIM rollout in International markets subsequent to the first quarter of 2022 as well as higher capital lease placements. Gross profit for the International segment was$9.3 million compared to$11.2 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gross margin for the International segment was 39.0% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to 41.0% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease in gross profit and gross margin for both periods is driven by decreased revenue as well as unfavorable product mix associated with increased capital lease placements. International segment operating loss was$1.2 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , compared to$0.9 million income for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The operating loss for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 is driven by lower revenue and gross profit. -42- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition
We believe that adequate liquidity and cash generation is important to the execution of our strategic initiatives. Our ability to fund our operations, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and product development efforts may depend on our ability to access other forms of capital as well as our ability to generate cash from operating activities, which is subject to future operating performance, as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other conditions, some of which may be beyond our control, including but not limited to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our belief may prove to be incorrect, however, and we could utilize our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. For example, we actively seek opportunities that are consistent with our strategic direction, which may require additional capital. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in Part I. Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2022 . We may seek additional equity or debt financing in order to meet these future capital requirements, even in the absence of any acquisitions. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.
