Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company Genomic Health, Inc. (the “Company”) is a global healthcare company that provides actionable genomic information to personalize cancer treatment decisions. The Company develops and globally commercializes genomic based clinical laboratory services that analyze the underlying biology of cancer, allowing physicians and patients to make individualized treatment decisions. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in August 2000. The Company’s first product, the Oncotype DX breast cancer test, was launched in 2004 and is used for early stage invasive breast cancer patients to predict the likelihood of breast cancer recurrence and the likelihood of chemotherapy benefit. In January 2010, the Company launched its second product, the Oncotype DX colon cancer test, which is used to predict the likelihood of colon cancer recurrence in patients with stage II disease. The tests for invasive breast and colon cancer result in a quantitative score referred to as a Recurrence Score. In December 2011, the Company made Oncotype DX available for patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (“DCIS”), a pre-invasive form of breast cancer. This test provides a DCIS Score that is used to predict the likelihood of local disease recurrence. In June 2012, the Company began offering the Oncotype DX colon cancer test for use in patients with stage III disease treated with oxaliplatin containing adjuvant therapy. In May 2013, the Company launched the Oncotype DX prostate cancer test, which provides a Genomic Prostate Score (“GPS”) to predict disease aggressiveness in men with low risk prostate cancer and to improve treatment decisions for prostate cancer patients, in conjunction with the Gleason score, or tumor grading. In February 2018, the Oncotype DX AR-V7 Nucleus Detect test for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (“mCRPC”) became commercially available. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company had two wholly-owned subsidiaries at March 31, 2019: Genomic Health International Holdings, LLC, which was established in Delaware in 2010 and supports the Company’s international sales and marketing efforts; and Oncotype Laboratories, Inc., which was established in 2012, and is inactive. Genomic Health International Holdings, LLC has eight wholly-owned subsidiaries. The functional currency for the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries incorporated outside the United States is the U.S. dollar. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) at the inception of the arrangement and at each reporting date. This assessment is based on the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the Company’s obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company continuously performs this assessment, as changes to existing relationships or future transactions may result in the consolidation or deconsolidation of a VIE. Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The accompanying interim period condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019, condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from audited financial statements, but it does not include certain information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The accompanying interim period condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to leases which is described below. There have been no other significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. See Note 2 “Revenues” for further discussion on Revenues. Concentration of Risk The Company is subject to credit risk from its portfolio of cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company invests in money market funds through a major U.S. bank and is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institution to the extent of amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company invests in short term, investment grade debt instruments and by policy limits the amount in any one type of investment, except for securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. Under its investment policy, the Company limits amounts invested in such securities by credit rating, maturity, industry group, investment type and issuer, except for securities issued by the U.S. government. The Company is not exposed to any significant concentrations of credit risk from these financial instruments. The goals of the Company’s investment policy, in order of priority, are as follows: safety and preservation of principal and diversification of risk; liquidity of investments sufficient to meet cash flow requirements; and a competitive after tax rate of return. The Company is also subject to credit risk from its accounts receivable related to its product sales. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable arise from product sales in the United States. Reimbursement on behalf of patients covered by Medicare accounted for 24% of the Company’s product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Accounts receivable on behalf of patients directly covered by Medicare represented 17% of the Company’s total accounts receivable at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. No other third party payor represented more than 10% of the Company’s product revenues or accounts receivable balances for these periods. Non-Marketable Investments The carrying values of the Company’s non-marketable equity securities without readily determinable market values are initially measured at cost and adjusted to fair value for observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer or impairment. All gains and losses on non-marketable equity securities, realized and unrealized, are recognized in other income (expense), net. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying value of the preferred stock of Epic Sciences, Inc. (“Epic Sciences”) was $10.8 million. The Company did not adjust the carrying value of the preferred stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The preferred stock of Epic Sciences is classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the Company estimated the value utilizing an option pricing model that considered the most recent observable transaction and other unobservable inputs including volatility and long-term plans of Epic Sciences. The preferred stock represents a variable interest in the investee. The Company has concluded it is not the primary beneficiary and thus has not consolidated the investee pursuant to the requirements of FASB ASC 810, Consolidation. Additionally, as the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, the equity method was not used to account for the investment. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company hedges a portion of its foreign currency exposure related to outstanding monetary assets and liabilities using foreign currency forward contracts. The foreign currency forward contracts, included in prepaid and other current assets or in accrued liabilities, depending on the contracts’ net position, the Company uses to hedge the exposure are not designated as hedges, and as a result, changes in their fair value of $42,000 for the three month ended March 31, 2019 are recorded in other income (expense). As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $15.3 million and $17.1 million, respectively. Impairment of Long Lived Assets The Company reviews long lived assets, which include property and equipment, intangible assets and investments in privately held companies, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. For property and equipment and intangible assets, an impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is assessed using undiscounted cash flows. For investments in non-marketable equity securities, evidence of impairment might include the absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or the inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity which would justify the carrying amount of the investment. If the fair value of the investment is determined to be less than the carrying value, the asset is written down to its fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company wrote off $2.2 million and $2.4 million of previously capitalized equipment and software development costs, respectively, due to disposal activities. There was no impairment of long lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for almost all leases on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach and did not restate comparative periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the Company to carryforward the assessment of whether its contracts contain or are leases, classification of its leases and remaining lease terms. The Company also elected to combine its lease and non-lease components and to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet and recognize the associated lease payments in the condensed statements of operation on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Based on the Company’s portfolio of leases as of December 31, 2018, the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $17.9 million and lease liabilities of $22.5 million, of which $6.1 million was recorded as current portion of operating lease liabilities, and the elimination of $4.5 million of straight-line lease liabilities, of which $1.1 million was recorded as accrued expenses and other current liabilities. There was no material impact to its condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 7 “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information and disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. This guidance will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. |
