Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OraSure Technologies, Inc. (“OraSure”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, DNAG, Diversigen, and Novosanis. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. References herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” mean OraSure and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for business combinations, the valuation of accounts receivable and inventories and assumptions utilized in impairment testing for intangible assets and goodwill, as well as calculations related to accruals, taxes, contingent consideration and performance-based compensation expense, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, using historical experience and other factors, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the current economic environment. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment and other factors will be reflected in the financial statements in those future periods. Supplemental Cash Flow Information In 2020, 2019 and 2018, we paid income taxes of $9,263, $10,611 and $17,126, respectively. In 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recorded through the consolidated statements of operations an increase (decrease) in our allowance for doubtful accounts of $941, $2,248 and $(53), respectively. We had write-offs of $501, $110 and $11 in 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we had accruals for purchases of property and equipment of $802, $660, and $964, respectively. Investments We consider all investments in debt securities to be available-for-sale securities. These securities are comprised of guaranteed investment certificates and corporate bonds with purchased maturities greater than ninety days. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, based upon quoted market prices, with unrealized gains and losses, if any, reported in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. We record an allowance for credit loss for our available-for-sale securities when a decline in investment market value is due to credit-related factors. When evaluating an investment for impairment, we review factors such as the severity of the impairment, changes in underlying credit ratings, forecasted recovery, the Company’s intent to sell or the likelihood that it would be required to sell the investment before its anticipated recovery in market value and the probability that the scheduled cash payments will continue to be made. As of December 31, 2020, we determined that the decline in the market value of our available-for-sale investment was not due to credit-related factors and as such no allowance for credit-loss was necessary. The following is a summary of our available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2020 and 2019: Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value December 31, 2020 Guaranteed investment certificates $ 25,132 $ — $ — $ 25,132 Corporate bonds 71,533 135 (483 ) 71,185 Total available-for-sale securities $ 96,665 $ 135 $ (483 ) $ 96,317 December 31, 2019 Guaranteed investment certificates $ 24,632 $ — $ — $ 24,632 Corporate bonds 89,525 271 (385 ) 89,411 Total available-for-sale securities $ 114,157 $ 271 $ (385 ) $ 114,043 At December 31, 2020, maturities of our available- for-sale securities were as follows: Less than one year $ 48,835 $ 114 $ (350 ) $ 48,599 Greater than one year $ 47,830 $ 21 $ (133 ) $ 47,718 Fair Value of Financial Instruments As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair values based on their short-term nature. Fair value measurements of all financial assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis are required to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). All of our available-for-sale debt securities are measured as Level 2 instruments as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Our guaranteed investment certificates are measured as Level 1 instruments as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $71,489 and $1,624 invested in government money market funds. These funds have investments in government securities and are measured as Level 1 instruments. We offer a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for certain eligible employees and members of our Board of Directors. The assets of the plan are held in the name of the Company at a third-party financial institution. Separate accounts are maintained for each participant to reflect the amounts deferred by the participant and all earnings and losses on those deferred amounts. The assets of the plan are held in mutual funds. The fair value of the plan assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $2,565 and $3,519, respectively, and was calculated using the quoted market prices of the assets as of those dates. All investments in the plan are classified as trading securities and measured as Level 1 instruments. The fair value of plan assets is included in both current assets and other noncurrent assets with the same amounts included in accrued expenses and other noncurrent liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As further discussed in Note 3, Business Combinations, we have identified our contingent consideration obligations as Level 3 liabilities due to significant inputs that are required to measure the fair value of these obligations. The following table represents the change in contingent consideration: Balance as of January 1, 2019 $ — Addition related to acquisition (initial measurement) 4,350 Change in fair value during the period (664 ) Currency translation adjustment (74 ) Balance as of December 31, 2019 3,612 Addition related to acquisition (initial measurement) 3,440 Payments made during the period (3,500 ) Change in fair value during the period (1,099 ) Currency translation adjustment (2 ) Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 2,451 Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable have been reduced by an estimated allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. This estimated allowance is based primarily on management’s evaluation of specific balances as they become past due, the financial condition of our customers and our historical experience related to write-offs. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and include the cost of raw materials, labor and overhead. The majority of our inventories are subject to expiration dating, which can be extended in certain circumstances. We continually evaluate quantities on hand and the carrying value of our inventories to determine the need for reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, based on prior experience as well as estimated forecasts of product sales. We reserve for unidentified scrap or spoilage based on historical write-off rates. We also consider items identified through specific identification procedures in assessing the adequacy of our reserve. When factors indicate that impairment has occurred, either a reserve is established against the inventories’ carrying value or the inventories are completely written off, as in the case of lapsing expiration dates. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Additions or improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Buildings are depreciated over twenty to forty years, while computer equipment, machinery and equipment, and furniture and fixtures are depreciated over two to ten years. Building improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives. When assets are sold, retired, or discarded, the related property amounts are relieved from the accounts, and any gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, patents and product rights, acquired technology and tradenames. Patents and product rights consist of costs associated with the acquisition of patents, licenses and product distribution rights. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five to fifteen years. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets can be recovered through the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If indicators of impairment exist, we measure the amount of such impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets to the fair value of these assets, which is generally determined based on the present value of the expected future cash flows associated with the use of the assets. Expected future cash flows reflect our assumptions about selling prices, volumes, costs and market conditions over a reasonable period of time. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if we believe that indicators of impairment exist. Current generally accepted accounting principles permit us to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, then we would be required to recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, provided the impairment charge does not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. We performed our annual impairment assessment as of July 31, 2020 utilizing a qualitative evaluation and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units is greater than their carrying value. We believe we have made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of our reporting units. If actual future results are not consistent with management’s estimates and assumptions, we may have to take an impairment charge in the future related to our goodwill. Future impairment tests will continue to be performed annually in the fiscal third quarter, or sooner if a triggering event occurs. Revenue Product sales Revenue from product sales is recognized upon transfer of control of a product to a customer based on an amount that reflects the consideration we are entitled to, net of allowances for any discounts or rebates. We generally do not grant product return rights to our customers, except for warranty returns, return rights on sales of our OraQuick ® Historically, returns arising from warranty issues have been infrequent and immaterial. Accordingly, we expense warranty returns as incurred. We record shipping and handling charges billed to our customers as product revenue and the related expense as cost of products sold. Service revenues. Service revenues represent microbiome laboratory testing and analytical services. We recognize revenues and satisfy our performance obligation for services rendered. Arrangements with multiple-performance obligations . In arrangements involving more than one performance obligation, which largely applies to our service revenue stream, each required performance obligation is evaluated to determine whether it qualifies as a distinct performance obligation based on whether (i) the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available and (ii) the good or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The consideration under the arrangement is then allocated to each separate distinct performance obligation based on their respective relative stand-alone selling price. The estimated selling price of each deliverable is determined using an observable cost plus margin approach. The consideration allocated to each distinct performance obligation is recognized as revenue when control is transferred for the related goods or services or when the performance obligation has been satisfied. Other revenues . Other revenues consist primarily of royalty income, funding of research and development efforts and cost reimbursements under a charitable support agreement. Royalties from licensees are based on third-party sales of licensed products and are recorded when the related third-party product sale occurs. Funding and charitable support reimbursements are recorded as the activities are being performed in accordance with the respective agreements. Deferred Revenue. We record deferred revenue when funds are received prior to the recognition of the associated revenue. Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 included customer prepayments of $3,216 and $1,904, respectively. Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 also included $1,595 and $1,809, respectively, associated with a long-term contract that has variable pricing based on volume. The average price over the life of contract was determined based on expected revenues and revenue is recognized at that rate when the product is delivered to the customer. Financing and Payment . Our payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and products or services offered. Payment terms differ by jurisdiction and customer but payment is generally required in a term ranging from 30 to 120 days from date of shipment or satisfaction of the performance obligation. For certain products or services and customer types, we may require payment before the products are delivered or services are rendered to the customer. Practical expedients and exemptions . Taxes assessed by governmental authorities, such as sales or value-added taxes, are excluded from product revenues. Sales commissions are expensed when incurred if the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations. If the amortization period exceeds one year, we defer the cost of the commission and expense it over the life of the related sales contract. Revenues by product The following table represents total net revenues by product line: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Infectious disease testing $ 54,227 $ 58,016 $ 56,159 Risk assessment testing 9,374 12,189 12,058 Cryosurgical systems — 7,054 10,767 Genomics 37,141 56,200 79,754 Microbiome 6,156 7,172 6,690 COVID-19 49,802 — — Laboratory services 9,564 6,767 — Other product revenue 117 675 — Net product and service revenues 166,381 148,073 165,428 Royalty income 3,432 5,116 9,653 Other non-product revenues 1,908 1,416 6,662 Other revenues 5,340 6,532 16,315 Net revenues $ 171,721 $ 154,605 $ 181,743 Revenues by geographic area . The following table represents total net revenues by geographic area, based on the location of the customer: Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 United States $ 130,835 $ 107,279 $ 136,847 Europe 12,068 11,752 11,062 Other regions 28,818 35,574 33,834 $ 171,721 $ 154,605 $ 181,743 Customer and Vendor Concentrations. One of our customers accounted for 11% of our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020 and another customer accounted for 19% of our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019. The same customer accounted for approximately 15% and 24% of our net consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We had no customers that accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020. We currently purchase certain products and critical components of our products from sole-supply vendors. If these vendors are unable or unwilling to supply the required components and products, we could be subject to increased costs and substantial delays in the delivery of our products to our customers. Third-party suppliers also manufacture certain products. Our inability to have a timely supply of any of these components and products could have a material adverse effect on our business, as well as our financial condition and results of operations. Business Combinations and Contingent Consideration Acquired businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that the purchase price be allocated to the net assets acquired at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Amounts allocated to contingent consideration are recorded to the balance sheet at the date of acquisition based on their relative fair values. The purchase price allocation requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date, with respect to intangible assets. Although we believe the assumptions and estimates we have made are reasonable, they are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. We account for contingent consideration in accordance with applicable guidance provided within the business combination accounting standard. As part of our consideration for the recent acquisitions, we are contractually obligated to pay certain consideration resulting from the outcome of future events. Therefore, we are required to update our underlying assumptions each reporting period, based on new developments, and record such contingent consideration liabilities at fair value until the contingency is resolved. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities are recognized each reporting period and included in our consolidated statements of operations. Our estimates of fair value are based on assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but the assumptions are uncertain and involve significant judgment by management. Updates to these assumptions could have a significant impact on our results of operations in any given period and any updates to the fair value of the contingent consideration could differ materially from the previous estimates. Examples of critical estimates used in valuing certain intangible assets and contingent consideration include: • future expected cash flows from sales and acquired developed technologies; • the acquired company's trade name and customer relationships as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired trade name and customer relationships will continue to be used in the combined company's portfolio; • the probability of meeting the future events; and • discount rates used to determine the present value of estimated future cash flows. These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, and if different estimates were used the purchase price for the acquisition could be allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities differently from the allocation that we have made. In addition, unanticipated events and circumstances may occur, which may affect the accuracy or validity of such estimates, and if such events occur we may be required to record a charge against the value ascribed to an acquired asset or an increase in the amounts recorded for assumed liabilities . Research and Development Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including salaries and benefits, facilities expenses, overhead expenses, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing expenses, contract services and other outside expenses. Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising Expenses Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. During 2020, 2019, and 2018, we incurred $1,126, $468, and $745, respectively, in advertising expenses. Stock-Based Compensation We account for stock-based compensation to employees and directors using the fair value method. We recognize compensation expense for stock option and restricted stock awards issued to employees and directors on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. We recognize compensation expense related to performance-based restricted stock units based on assumptions as to what percentage of each performance target will be achieved. We evaluate these target assumptions on a quarterly basis and adjust compensation expense related to these awards, as appropriate. To satisfy the exercise of options, issuance of restricted stock, or redemption of performance-based restricted stock units, we issue new shares rather than purchase shares in the open market. Income Taxes We follow the asset and liability method for accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and the respective tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates for the respective taxing jurisdiction that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and operating loss and credit carryforwards are expected to be recovered, settled or utilized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We assess the realizability of our net deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. If, after considering all relevant positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized, we reduce our net deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance. The realization of the net deferred tax assets is dependent on several factors, including the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of our net operating loss carryforwards. Foreign Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than functional currency are included in our consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the change occurs. Net foreign exchange gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions that are included in other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations were $(337), $(1,339), and $831 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed in a manner similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include incremental shares from the assumed vesting or exercise of dilutive securities, such as common stock options, unvested restricted stock or performance stock units, unless the impact is antidilutive. The number of incremental shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options were exercised and unvested restricted shares and performance stock units were vested, and the proceeds from such exercises or vesting were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period. Basic and dilutive computations of net loss per share are the same in periods in which a net loss exists as the dilutive effects of excluded items would be anti-dilutive . The computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are as follows: Year ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Net income (loss) $ (14,922 ) $ 16,656 $ 20,396 Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding: Basic 67,505 61,675 61,112 Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock, and performance stock units — 495 1,420 Diluted 67,505 62,170 62,532 Earnings (loss) per share: Basic $ (0.22 ) $ 0.27 $ 0.33 Diluted $ (0.22 ) $ 0.27 $ 0.33 For the year ended December 31, 2020, outstanding common stock options, unvested restricted stock, and unvested performance stock units representing 984 shares were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. For the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, outstanding common stock options, unvested restricted stock, and unvested performance stock units representing Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss We classify items of other comprehensive income (loss) by their nature and disclose the accumulated balance of other comprehensive loss separately from accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital in the stockholders’ equity section of our consolidated balance sheets. We have defined the Canadian dollar as the functional currency of our Canadian subsidiary, DNAG, and we have defined the Euro as the functional currency of our Belgian subsidiary, Novosanis. The results of operations are translated into U.S. dollars, which is the reporting currency of the Company. Accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2020 consists of $8,749 of currency translation adjustments and $348 of net unrealized losses on marketable securities, which represents the fair market value adjustment for our investments portfolio. Accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2019 consists of $12,022 of currency translation adjustments and $114 of net unrealized losses on marketable securities. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the measurement of credit losses, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets, including trade receivables and capital lease receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The method to determine a loss requires a credit loss to be recognized when it is probable. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2020 and the impact of the adoption was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements as credit losses are not expected to be significant based on historical collection trends, the financial condition of payment partners, and external market factors. The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on expected credit losses. In addition, the new guidance requires us to record an allowance for credit loss when a decline in investment market value is due to credit-related factors. As of January 1, 2020, there was no material decline in the market value of available-for-sale investments due to credit-related factors. In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance allowing a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. If elected, the reclassification can be applied in either the period of adoption or retrospectively to the period of the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (i.e., our first quarter of fiscal year 2018). We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2020 and the impact of the adoption was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance related to fair value measurement disclosures. This guidance removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for determining that a transfer has occurred, and valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, this guidance modifies the disclosures related to the measurement uncertainty for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements (by removing the requirement to disclose sensitivity to future changes) and the timing of liquidation of invested assets (by removing the timing requirement in certain instances). The guidance also requires new disclosures for Level 3 financial assets and liabilities, including the amount and location of unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income(loss) and additional information related to significant unobservable inputs used in determining Level 3 fair value measurements. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2020 and the impact of the adoption was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements . |
