Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Obligations

We lease property and equipment under operating leases, typically with terms greater than 12 months, and determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. In general, an arrangement contains a lease if

there is an identified asset and we have the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the identified asset. We record an operating lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term on the commencement date. The related right of use (“ROU”) operating lease asset reflects rental escalation clauses, as well as renewal options and/or termination options. The exercise of lease renewal and/or termination options are at our discretion and are included in the determination of the lease term and lease payment obligations when it is deemed reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, certain leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.

We classify our leases as buildings, vehicles or computer and office equipment and do not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts for any of the aforementioned classifications. In accordance with applicable guidance, we do not record leases with terms that are less than one year on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

None of our lease agreements contain material restrictive covenants or residual value guarantees.

Buildings

We lease certain office and warehouse space at various locations in the United States where we provide services. These leases are typically greater than one year with fixed, escalating rents over the noncancelable terms and, therefore, ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with rent expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The remaining lease terms vary from approximately one to six years as of June 30, 2025.

We entered into a lease (“initial lease”) in October 2018, for approximately 80,000 square feet of office space for our new corporate headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In December 2018, we amended the initial lease to add approximately 29,000 square feet of additional office space, which is accounted for as a separate lease (“second lease”) in accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”). In December 2019, we further amended the lease which extended the expiration date of the initial lease, extended the expiration date of and added approximately 4,000 square feet to the second lease, as well as added approximately 37,000 square feet of additional office space, accounted for as a separate lease (“third lease”) in accordance with ASC 842. The portion of the space covered under the initial lease was placed in service in September 2019. The portion of the space covered under the second lease commenced in September 2020. Finally, the portion of the space covered under the third lease commenced in September 2021. The three portions were recognized as an operating lease and included in the ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Computer and Office Equipment

We also have operating lease agreements for certain computer and office equipment. The remaining lease terms as of June 30, 2025, ranged from less than one year to approximately three years with fixed monthly payments that are included in the ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities. The leases provide an option to purchase the related equipment at fair market value at the end of the lease. The leases will automatically renew as a month-to-month rental at the end of the lease if the equipment is not purchased or returned.

Purchase Commitments

We issued purchase orders prior to June 30, 2025, totaling $30.4 million for goods that we expect to receive within the next year.

Retirement Plan

We maintain a 401(k) retirement plan for our employees in which eligible employees can contribute a percentage of their pre-tax compensation. We recorded an expense related to our discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan of $0.7 and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $1.4 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are subject to various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

On October 25, 2024, the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts (Boston) unsealed two qui tam complaints against us, and we were served with these complaints on January 14, 2025 and January 21, 2025. The United States has indicated that it is not intervening in either matter at this time. The first complaint is captioned United States ex. rel. Benjaman Scarborough vs. Tactile Systems Technology, Inc., Case No. 1:21-cv-10813-IT, and was filed under seal on May 17, 2021, on behalf of the United States by a former employee (the “Scarborough Complaint”). The Scarborough Complaint alleges that we submitted false claims and made false statements in connection with the Medicare programs, in violation of the Federal False Claims Act. The second complaint is captioned United States ex. rel. Jackie Gorham, an individual, and Dustin Gast, an individual, vs. Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. Case No. 1:21-cv-11809-IT, and was filed under seal on September 1, 2021, on behalf of the United States by two former employees (the “Gorham Complaint”). The Gorham Complaint alleges that we submitted false claims and made false statements in connection with the Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid and other government payers, in violation of the Federal False Claims Act and submitted false claims resulting from kickbacks in violation of the Federal False Claims Act and the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute. Both complaints seek damages, statutory penalties, attorneys’ fees, and costs. On February 24, 2025, the parties (the relators under both complaints and the Company) filed a joint motion requesting that both actions be stayed until November 25, 2025, to provide time for the government to review and assess sample claims for the purpose of assessing the allegations. On February 25, 2025, the Court granted the motion and issued orders that stay both actions until November 25, 2025.  We will defend the actions as they proceed.
