The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include all entities in which the Company has control, which are its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014. | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates. A discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. | |
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentations. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ' | |||||||||||||||||||||||
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Trade Accounts Receivable | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s best estimate of probable credit losses in its existing trade accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based upon a review of both specific accounts for collection and the age of the accounts receivable portfolio. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inventories | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost, which includes direct materials, labor and overhead, is generally determined using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. The estimated net realizable value is based on assumptions for future demand and related pricing. Adjustments to the cost basis of the Company’s inventory are made for excess and obsolete items based on usage, orders and technological obsolescence. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, reductions in the value of inventory may be required. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inventories consisted of the following: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Goodwill, representing the excess of purchase price over the net asset value of companies acquired, and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The annual evaluation for goodwill is generally based on an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company is unable to conclude that a reporting unit is not impaired after considering the totality of events and circumstances during its qualitative assessment, the Company performs the first step of the two-step impairment test by estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The annual evaluation for indefinite-lived intangible assets is based on valuation models that estimate fair value based on expected future cash flows and profitability projections. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Other intangible assets include indefinite-lived assets and assets subject to amortization. Where applicable, amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over the expected period to be benefited. The straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained by the Company in each reporting period. The Company assesses the initial acquisition of intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805 “Business Combinations” and the continued accounting for previously recognized intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” and ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment.” | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Company recognized amortization expense associated with the above intangible assets of $1.6 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The annual aggregate amortization expense based on the current balance of other intangible assets is estimated at $6.0 million for 2014, $5.3 million for 2015, $5.1 million for 2016, $4.9 million for 2017, $4.6 million for 2018 and $4.3 million for 2019. Purchased intangible amortization was $1.3 million ($0.9 million after tax) for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
In addition to the above amortization, the Company recorded amortization expense associated with capitalized software of $5.5 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue is recognized when title to a product has transferred and any significant customer obligations have been fulfilled. Standard shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point in most countries and, accordingly, title and risk of loss transfers upon shipment. In countries where title cannot legally transfer before delivery, the Company defers revenue recognition until delivery has occurred. The Company generally maintains the right to accept or reject a product return in its terms and conditions and also maintains appropriate accruals for outstanding credits. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in total net sales and the associated expense is recorded in cost of sales for all periods presented. Other than a few small software applications, the Company does not sell software products without the related hardware instrument as the software is embedded in the instrument. The Company’s products typically require no significant production, modification or customization of the hardware or software that is essential to the functionality of the products. To the extent the Company’s solutions have a post-shipment obligation, such as customer acceptance, revenue is deferred until the obligation has been completed. The Company defers product revenue where installation is required, unless such installation is deemed perfunctory. The Company also sometimes enters into certain arrangements that require the separate delivery of multiple goods and/or services. These deliverables are accounted for separately if the deliverables have standalone value and the performance of undelivered items is probable and within the Company's control. The allocation of revenue between the separate deliverables is typically based on the relative selling price at the time of the sale in accordance with a number of factors including service technician billing rates, time to install and geographic location. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Further, certain products are also sold through indirect distribution channels whereby the distributor assumes any further obligations to the customer upon title transfer. Revenue is recognized on these products upon transfer of title and risk of loss to its distributors. Distributor discounts are offset against revenue at the time such revenue is recognized. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Service revenue not under contract is recognized upon the completion of the service performed. Spare parts sold on a stand-alone basis are recognized upon title and risk of loss transfer which is generally at the time of shipment. Revenues from service contracts are recognized ratably over the contract period. These contracts represent an obligation to perform repair and other services including regulatory compliance qualification, calibration, certification and preventative maintenance on a customer’s pre-defined equipment over the contract period. Service contracts are separately priced and payment is typically received from the customer at the beginning of the contract period. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Warranty | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company generally offers one-year warranties on most of its products. Product warranties are recorded at the time revenue is recognized. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service costs incurred in correcting a product failure. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s accrual for product warranties is included in accrued and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes to the Company’s accrual for product warranties for the three months ended March 31 are as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
March 31, | March 31, | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Balance at end of period | $ | 16,807 | $ | 15,550 | ||||||||||||||||||||
Employee Termination Benefits | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
In situations where contractual termination benefits exist, the Company records accruals for employee termination benefits when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. All other employee termination arrangements are recognized and measured at their fair value at the communication date unless the employee is required to render additional service beyond the legal notification period, in which case the liability is recognized ratably over the future service period. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Share-Based Compensation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense within selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded $3.2 million and $2.8 million of share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Research and Development | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries, consulting and other costs. The Company expenses these costs as incurred. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | ' |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | ' |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | |
As more fully described below, the Company enters into certain interest rate swap agreements in order to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. The amount of the Company’s fixed obligation interest payments may change based upon the expiration dates of its interest rate swap agreements and the level and composition of its debt. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to limit the Company’s exposure to currency fluctuations on the respective hedged items. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. For additional disclosures on the fair value of financial instruments, also see Note 4 to the interim consolidated financial statements. | |
Cash Flow Hedge | |
The Company has an interest rate swap agreement, designated as a cash flow hedge. The agreement is a forward-starting swap which had the effect of changing the floating rate LIBOR-based interest payments associated with $100 million in forecasted borrowings under the Company’s credit facility to a fixed obligation of 3.24% beginning in October 2010. The swap is recorded gross in other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at its fair value at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $4.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively. The amount recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) during both the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was a loss of $0.1 million. The effective portion of the loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense was $0.8 million ($0.5 million after tax) for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. A derivative loss of $3.1 million based upon interest rates at March 31, 2014, is expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings in the next twelve months. Through March 31, 2014, the hedge ineffectiveness related to this instrument was not material. | |
In June 2013, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement, designated as a cash flow hedge. The agreement will change the floating rate LIBOR-based interest payments associated with $50 million in forecasted borrowings under the Company's credit agreement to a fixed obligation of 2.52% beginning in October 2015. The swap is recorded in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet at its fair value at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The amount recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 was a loss of $0.7 million ($0.4 million after tax). | |
In July 2012, the Company began entering into foreign currency forward contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge certain forecasted intercompany sales denominated in euro with its Swiss-based business. The notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $78.2 million. The foreign currency forward contracts are recorded at their fair value in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2014 in other current assets of $0.5 million. At December 31, 2013, the foreign currency forward contracts are recorded gross at their fair value in the consolidated balance in other current assets of $0.3 million and in accrued and other liabilities of $0.1 million, respectively. The Company records the effective portion of the cash flow derivative hedging gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax and reclassifies these amounts into earnings in the period in which the transactions affect earnings. The amount recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) during the three months period ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was a gain of $0.3 million ($0.2 million after tax) and a loss of $0.8 million ($0.6 million after tax), respectively. The effective portion reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to cost of sales was an immaterial gain for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and a loss of $0.5 million ($0.4 million after tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, respectively. A derivative gain of $0.5 million as of March 31, 2014 is expected to be recognized in earnings in the next twelve months. Through March 31, 2014 no hedge ineffectiveness has occurred in relation to this hedge. | |
Other Derivatives | |
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts in order to economically hedge short-term intercompany balances largely denominated in Swiss franc and other major European currencies with its foreign businesses. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, these contracts are considered “derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.” Gains or losses on these instruments are reported in current earnings. The foreign currency forward contracts were reported gross at their fair value in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 in other current assets of $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and other liabilities of $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The Company recognized in other charges (income), net a loss of $0.2 million and $2.2 million, during the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, these contracts had a notional value of $173.9 million and $180.3 million, respectively. |

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had derivative assets totaling $1.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and derivative liabilities totaling $5.4 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The fair values of the interest rate swap agreement, foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges and foreign currency forward contracts that economically hedge short-term intercompany balances are estimated based upon inputs from current valuation information obtained from dealer quotes and priced with observable market assumptions and appropriate valuation adjustments for credit risk. The Company has evaluated the valuation methodologies used to develop the fair values by dealers in order to determine whether such valuations are representative of an exit price in the Company’s principal market. In addition, the Company uses an internally developed model to perform testing on the valuations received from brokers. The Company has also considered both its own credit risk and counterparty credit risk in determining fair value and determined these adjustments were insignificant at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $10.8 million and $16.9 million of cash equivalents, respectively, the fair value of which is determined through quoted and corroborated prices in active markets. The fair value of cash equivalents approximates cost. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The difference between the fair value and carrying value of the Company's long-term debt is not material and is classified in Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated based on either similar issues or other inputs derived from available market information, including interest rates, term of debt and creditworthiness. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Under U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement consists of observable and unobservable inputs that reflect the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A fair value hierarchy has been established that categorizes these inputs into three levels: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 2: | Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following table presents for each of these hierarchy levels, the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Company has a $3 billion share repurchase program, of which there were $809.9 million of remaining common shares authorized to be repurchased under the program. We expect that the authorization will be utilized over the next few years. The share repurchases are expected to be funded from cash balances, borrowings and cash generated from operating activities. Repurchases will be made through open market transactions, and the amount and timing of purchases will depend on business and market conditions, the stock price, trading restrictions, the level of acquisition activity and other factors. | |
The Company has purchased 21.8 million shares since the inception of the program through March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company spent $82.5 million and $72.3 million on the repurchase of 336,188 shares and 341,109 shares at an average price per share of $245.37 and $211.94, respectively.

Inventories | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost, which includes direct materials, labor and overhead, is generally determined using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. The estimated net realizable value is based on assumptions for future demand and related pricing. Adjustments to the cost basis of the Company’s inventory are made for excess and obsolete items based on usage, orders and technological obsolescence. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, reductions in the value of inventory may be required. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Goodwill, representing the excess of purchase price over the net asset value of companies acquired, and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The annual evaluation for goodwill is generally based on an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company is unable to conclude that a reporting unit is not impaired after considering the totality of events and circumstances during its qualitative assessment, the Company performs the first step of the two-step impairment test by estimating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The annual evaluation for indefinite-lived intangible assets is based on valuation models that estimate fair value based on expected future cash flows and profitability projections. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Other intangible assets include indefinite-lived assets and assets subject to amortization. Where applicable, amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over the expected period to be benefited. The straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained by the Company in each reporting period. The Company assesses the initial acquisition of intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805 “Business Combinations” and the continued accounting for previously recognized intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” and ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment.” | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Company recognized amortization expense associated with the above intangible assets of $1.6 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The annual aggregate amortization expense based on the current balance of other intangible assets is estimated at $6.0 million for 2014, $5.3 million for 2015, $5.1 million for 2016, $4.9 million for 2017, $4.6 million for 2018 and $4.3 million for 2019. Purchased intangible amortization was $1.3 million ($0.9 million after tax) for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
In addition to the above amortization, the Company recorded amortization expense associated with capitalized software of $5.5 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ' | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue is recognized when title to a product has transferred and any significant customer obligations have been fulfilled. Standard shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point in most countries and, accordingly, title and risk of loss transfers upon shipment. In countries where title cannot legally transfer before delivery, the Company defers revenue recognition until delivery has occurred. The Company generally maintains the right to accept or reject a product return in its terms and conditions and also maintains appropriate accruals for outstanding credits. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in total net sales and the associated expense is recorded in cost of sales for all periods presented. Other than a few small software applications, the Company does not sell software products without the related hardware instrument as the software is embedded in the instrument. The Company’s products typically require no significant production, modification or customization of the hardware or software that is essential to the functionality of the products. To the extent the Company’s solutions have a post-shipment obligation, such as customer acceptance, revenue is deferred until the obligation has been completed. The Company defers product revenue where installation is required, unless such installation is deemed perfunctory. The Company also sometimes enters into certain arrangements that require the separate delivery of multiple goods and/or services. These deliverables are accounted for separately if the deliverables have standalone value and the performance of undelivered items is probable and within the Company's control. The allocation of revenue between the separate deliverables is typically based on the relative selling price at the time of the sale in accordance with a number of factors including service technician billing rates, time to install and geographic location. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Further, certain products are also sold through indirect distribution channels whereby the distributor assumes any further obligations to the customer upon title transfer. Revenue is recognized on these products upon transfer of title and risk of loss to its distributors. Distributor discounts are offset against revenue at the time such revenue is recognized. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Service revenue not under contract is recognized upon the completion of the service performed. Spare parts sold on a stand-alone basis are recognized upon title and risk of loss transfer which is generally at the time of shipment. Revenues from service contracts are recognized ratably over the contract period. These contracts represent an obligation to perform repair and other services including regulatory compliance qualification, calibration, certification and preventative maintenance on a customer’s pre-defined equipment over the contract period. Service contracts are separately priced and payment is typically received from the customer at the beginning of the contract period. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Warranty | ' | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Warranty | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company generally offers one-year warranties on most of its products. Product warranties are recorded at the time revenue is recognized. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service costs incurred in correcting a product failure. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s accrual for product warranties is included in accrued and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes to the Company’s accrual for product warranties for the three months ended March 31 are as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Employee Termination Benefits | ' | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Employee Termination Benefits | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
In situations where contractual termination benefits exist, the Company records accruals for employee termination benefits when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. All other employee termination arrangements are recognized and measured at their fair value at the communication date unless the employee is required to render additional service beyond the legal notification period, in which case the liability is recognized ratably over the future service period. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Share - Based Compensation | ' | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Share-Based Compensation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense within selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded $3.2 million and $2.8 million of share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
