The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1. The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies The Company Accuray Incorporated (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Accuray”) designs, develops and sells advanced radiosurgery and radiation therapy systems for the treatment of tumors throughout the body. The Company is incorporated in Delaware and has its principal place of business in Sunnyvale, California. The Company has primary offices in the United States, Switzerland, China, Hong Kong and Japan and conducts its business worldwide. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States accounting generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the effects of and response to the pandemic are rapidly evolving and new information is regularly coming to light. The Company's customers are diverting resources to treat COVID-19 patients and deferring non-urgent and elective procedures, both of which are likely to impact customers' ability to meet their other financial obligations, including to the Company. Some customers, which include hospitals, major academic medical centers, and other related entities, have incurred significant losses during the COVID-19 pandemic due to reduced patient volume. Furthermore, the Company is also anticipating a global economic slowdown due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which may result in an incremental adverse impact on revenue, net income and cash flow and may require significant additional expenditures to mitigate such impacts. Policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain. The Company’s financial results have also been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in various ways. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely impacting the pace at which the backlog converts to revenue in the near-term. This is primarily the result of delays in the timing of deliveries and installations in fiscal 2020 due to timing delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a decline to the revenue for the same period. The Company expects that such delays in deliveries and installations will continue into fiscal 2021, which could have a negative impact on the revenue during those periods. As of the date of this Form 10-K, the Company experienced disruptions in the sales and revenue cycle as well as increases in customer defaults, delays in payment and planned installations and service agreements as a result of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s customers as well as restrictions imposed on travel. The Company also received requests from a few customers to extend payment terms or temporarily suspend service and corresponding payment obligations and while the Company have only received a small number of requests thus far, there can be no guarantee that more customers will not ask for the same if the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic deepen or worsen. As a result, the Company is carefully monitoring the pandemic and the resulting length and depth of the economic impact on our financial condition and results of operations, however, given the uncertainty regarding the spread and potential resurgence of COVID-19 and how long the pandemic will last, the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, although the impacts are expected to continue and may also significantly affect the Company’s business. The Company continues to critically review its liquidity and anticipated capital requirements in light of the significant uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance, available debt facilities, current business plan and revenue prospects, the Company believes that it will have sufficient cash resources and anticipated cash flows to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. In addition, the Company is unable to predict with certainty the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its ability to maintain compliance with the debt covenants contained in the credit and security agreements related to its Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan (as such terms are defined in Note 10 below), including financial covenants regarding the fixed charge coverage ratio, minimum net revenue, minimum consolidated cash balance and minimum consolidated domestic cash balance tests. The Company was in compliance with such covenants for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, as amended. Failure to meet the covenant requirements in the future could cause the Company to be in default and the maturity of the related debt could be Subsequent Events Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements. Key estimates and assumptions made by the Company relate to revenue recognition, assessment of recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of our equity method investment in the JV, valuation of inventories, share‑based compensation expense, convertible notes, income taxes, allowance for doubtful accounts and loss contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Foreign Currency The Company’s international subsidiaries use their local currencies as their functional currencies. For those subsidiaries, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts at the average exchange rate. Resulting translation adjustments are excluded from the determination of net loss and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Net foreign currency exchange transaction gains or losses are included as a component of other expense, net, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Fair Value Measurements The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments including cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are approximately equal to their respective fair values due to the relatively short‑term nature of these instruments. Also refer to Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers currency on hand, demand deposits, time deposits, and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in various financial institutions in the United States and internationally. Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are mainly deposited with several major financial institutions. At times, deposits in these institutions exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant risk on these balances. The Company had no customer that represented 10% or more of total net revenue for the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The Company had one customer at June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively that accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable, net. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Accounts receivable are deemed past due in accordance with the contractual terms of the agreement. Accounts are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once collection efforts are unsuccessful. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations. Single‑source suppliers presently provide the Company with several components. In most cases, if a supplier was unable to deliver these components, the Company believes that it would be able to find other sources for these components subject to any regulatory qualifications, if required. Restricted Cash Restricted cash primarily consists of cash that is temporarily held in bank accounts which are under the control of the lender to the Revolving Credit Facility, certificates of deposit held as guarantees in connection with customer contracts and corporate leases as well as funds held as guarantees for Value‑Added Tax (VAT) obligations in a foreign jurisdiction. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first‑in, first‑out basis) or net realizable value. Excess and obsolete inventories are written down based on historical sales and forecasted demand, as judged by management. Revenue Recognition The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on July 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue consists of product revenue resulting from the sale of systems, system upgrades and service revenue. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when there is a legally enforceable contract between the Company and its customer, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of the contract consideration is probable. The Company’s revenues are measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with each customer, net of any discounts and taxes collected from customers that are remitted to government authorities. The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from sales of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems and services, which include post-contract customer support (“PCS”), installation services, training and other professional services. The majority of the Company's revenue arrangements consists of multiple performance obligations, which can include system, upgrades, installation, training, services, construction, and consumables. For bundled arrangements, the Company accounts for individual products and services separately if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The Company’s products are generally sold without a right of return, and the Company’s contracts generally provide a fixed transaction price. The Company may offer incentives in the form of discounts, including volume system discounts, which are included in the contract and used to calculate the final fixed price of the arrangement. These discounts may pertain to all performance obligations in a specific contract or may be allocated to a specific performance obligation. The Company also from time to time offers extended payment terms beyond one year and commissions or other forms of payment to customers. The Company estimates a financing component in transactions with payment terms extending beyond one year. This financing component is recognized as financing income at the time payment is received. The Company applies the practical expedient to not adjust for a significant financing component if the gap between payment and delivery was expected, at the contract inception, to be less than one year. The Company offers customers the opportunity to trade in their older systems for credit towards the purchase of a new system. The Company generally does not provide specif i c trade-in prices or upgrade rights at the time of purchase of the original system. Trade-in or upgrade transactions are based on the then fair value of the system and are separately negotiated taking into consideration circumstances existing at the time of the trade-in or upgrade. Accordingly, trade-ins and upgrades are not considered separate performance obligations in system sales agreements. Traded-in systems generally can be reconditioned and may be resold. The Company accounts for the fair value of the traded-in system in the total consideration in the arrangement by including the net realizable value of the traded-in system less a normal profit margin. The stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) of performance obligations is determined based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells the products and services. If the SSP is not directly observable, then the Company will estimate the SSP considering market conditions, entity-specific factors, and information about the customer or class of customer that is reasonably available. The SSP is generally assessed as a percentage of the list price. The contract consideration allocation is based on the SSP at contract inception. The consideration (net of any discounts) is allocated among separate products and services in a bundle based on their individual SSP. For contract modifications that add additional goods or services or changes pricing, the most recent SSP is used for allocation to the remaining performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue for certain performance obligations at the point in time when control is transferred, such as delivery of products and upgrades. Service revenue is recognized over the term of the service period as the customer benefits from the services throughout the service period. Revenue related to services performed on a time-and-materials basis is recognized when performed. Services recognized over a period of time comprise a single stand-ready performance obligation satisfied over time as our customers simultaneously receive and consume benefits from the Company's performance. This performance obligation constitutes a series of services that are substantially the same and provided over time using the same measure of progress. Revenues derived from these arrangements are recognized over time using an output method based upon the passage of time as this provides a faithful depiction of the pattern of transfer of control. The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer when the Company expects to generate future economic benefits from the related revenue-generating contracts. The Company capitalizes incremental contract acquisition costs, and amortizes such costs over a five year period, the period which the Company expects to benefit, based on historical service renewal rates, and expectations of future customer renewals. Most of the Company’s contract costs are associated with its internal sales force compensation program and a portion of its employee bonus program. The Company capitalizes and amortizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract, primarily related to certain bonuses and sales commissions. The capitalized bonuses and sales commissions are amortized over a period of five years commencing upon the initial transfer of control of the system to the customer. The pattern of amortization is commensurate with the pattern of transfer of control of the performance obligations to the customer. The amortization of these contract assets is included in cost of sales, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses based on department headcount allocations in the consolidated statements of operations. The pattern of amortization is commensurate with the pattern of transfer of control of the performance obligations to the customer. The Company elected to use the practical expedient and expense as incurred commissions related to service renewals and upgrades because the contract term is less than a year. The Company invoices its customers based on the billing schedules in its sales arrangements. Payment terms vary from 30 to 90 days, or longer, from the date of invoice. Contract assets for the periods presented primarily represent the difference between the revenue that was recognized based on the relative standalone selling price of the related performance obligations satisfied and the contractual billing terms. Deferred revenue for periods presented primarily relates to service contracts where the service fees are billed up-front, generally quarterly or annually, prior to services being performed. The associated deferred revenue is generally recognized over the term of the service period. The Company did not have any significant impairment losses on its contract assets for any period presented. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue primarily consists of unfulfilled obligations from open contracts for which performance has already started including short-shipped items, deferred warranty, training, maintenance services and other unperformed or incomplete performance obligations. Service contracts for maintenance services, in general, are considered month-to-month contracts. Deferred revenue includes deferred warranty expected to be recognized over the remaining warranty period for system already installed. The Company’s balance sheet may include the unbilled receivable for warranty included under the deferred revenue leading to a temporary gross up of the Company’s balance sheet. The invoices for unbilled receivables are issued within period shorter than 12 months. Customer Advances Customer advances represent payments made by customers in advance of product shipment. In general, customer advances are required for a contract to be recognized in our backlog. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight‑line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight‑line basis over the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over five years. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over four years. Computer and office equipment and computer software are depreciated over three years. Repairs and maintenance costs, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of the property and equipment, are expensed as incurred. Software Capitalization Costs Costs for the development of new software products and substantial enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs would be capitalized. No costs associated with the development of software have been capitalized as the Company believes its current software development process is essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility. Impairment of Long‑Lived Assets The Company reviews long‑lived assets, including intangible assets, equity method investment in the JV, property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable using pretax undiscounted cash flows. Impairment, if any, is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of a long‑lived asset exceeds its fair value. Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis and when impairment indicators are present. The Company has assessed that it has one operating segment and one reporting unit, and the consolidated net assets, including existing goodwill and other intangible assets, are considered to be the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company estimates the fair value of the reporting unit based on the Company’s closing stock price on the trading day closest to the annual review date multiplied by the outstanding shares on that date. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, an impairment may exist, and the Company must perform the second step of the analysis, in which the implied fair value of the goodwill is compared to its carrying value to determine the impairment charge, if any. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further analysis is required. The Company adopted the new accounting guidance that simplifies the testing for goodwill impairment in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. There was no impairment of goodwill identified in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Purchased intangible assets other than goodwill, including developed technology are amortized on a straight‑line basis over their estimated useful lives unless their lives are determined to be indefinite. Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range from approximately one to seven years. Shipping and Handling The Company’s billings for shipping and handling for product shipments to customers are included in cost of products. Shipping and handling costs incurred for inventory purchases are capitalized in inventory and expensed in cost of products. Advertising Expenses The Company expenses the costs of advertising and promoting its products and services as incurred. Advertising expenses were approximately $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and are included in selling and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Research and Development Costs Costs related to research, design and development of products are charged to research and development expense as incurred. These costs include direct compensation, benefits, and other headcount related costs for research and development personnel; costs for materials used in research and development activities; costs for outside services and allocated portions of facilities and other corporate costs. The Company has entered into research and clinical study arrangements with selected hospitals, cancer treatment centers, academic institutions and research institutions worldwide. These agreements support the Company’s internal research and development capabilities. Share‑Based Compensation The Company issues stock‑based compensation awards to employees and directors in the form of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance units (PSUs), market stock units (MSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) awards (collectively, awards). The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock‑based awards based on the awards’ fair value. Share‑based compensation for RSUs and PSUs is measured based on the value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The Company uses the Monte‑Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of MSUs. Share‑based compensation for employee stock options and ESPP awards are measured on the date of grant using a Black‑Scholes option pricing model. Awards vest either on a graded schedule or in a lump sum. The Company determines the fair value of each award as a single award and recognizes the expense on a straight‑line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period. The exercise price of stock options granted is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock options expire ten years from the date of grant. Share‑based compensation expense for stock options, RSUs, PSUs and the ESPP awards is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, and the expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures. The Company recognizes expense for MSUs net of estimated forfeitures and does not adjust the expense for subsequent changes in the expected outcome of the market‑based vesting conditions. Loss Contingencies The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company reviews these provisions quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for loss periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to stockholders follows (in thousands): Years Ended June 30, 2020 2019 2018 Numerator: Net income (loss) used to compute basic and diluted loss per share $ 3,827 $ (16,430 ) $ (23,899 ) Denominator: Weighted average shares used to compute basic income (loss) per share 89,874 87,465 84,893 Weighted average shares used to compute diluted income (loss) per share 90,623 87,465 84,893 The potentially dilutive shares of the Company’s common stock resulting from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, the vesting of Restricted Stock Units (RSU), Market Stock Units (MSU) and Performance Stock Units (PSU), and the purchase of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP), as determined under the treasury stock method, are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share when their effect would have been anti‑dilutive. Additionally, the 3.75% Convertible Notes due August 2022 (the “3.75% Convertible Notes”), the 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due February 1, 2018 (the “3.50% Convertible Notes”), the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes (the “3.50% Series A Convertible Notes”) due February 1, 2018 are included in the calculation of diluted net income per share only if their inclusion is dilutive for periods during which the notes were outstanding. The following table sets forth all potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation in the table above when their effect would have been anti‑dilutive (in thousands): As of June 30, 2020 2019 2018 Stock options 5,956 5,220 2,684 RSUs, PSUs and MSUs 3,761 3,725 5,159 9,717 8,945 7,843 Outstanding Convertible Notes—Diluted Share Impact The 3.75% Convertible Notes and the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes have an optional physical (share), cash or combination settlement feature and contain certain conditional conversion features. The 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes were retired in February 2018. Due to the optional cash settlement feature and management’s intent to settle the principal amount thereof in cash, the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes outstanding as of June 30, 2020, totaling approximately 14.9 million shares of our common stock, were not included in the basic and diluted net loss per common share table above. Leases On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”) to replace the existing lease accounting guidance. This pronouncement is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. Expenses associated with leases will continue to be recognized consistent with previous accounting guidance. The Company adopted ASC 842 utilizing the current-period adjustment method added by The Company is the lessee in a lease contract when the Company obtains the right to use the asset. Operating leases are included in the line items right-of-use asset, lease obligation, current, and lease obligation, long-term in the consolidated balance sheet. Right-of-use asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent the Company’s obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease, both of which are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company determines the lease term by agreement with lessor. As the leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Equity Method Investment During the twelve months ended June 30, 2020, the Company adopted a new accounting policy related to equity method investments in connection with its equity investment in CNNC Accuray (Tianjin) Medical Technology Co. Ltd., the Company’s joint venture in China (the “JV”). The equity method investment that the Company holds is equity securities in investees for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but lacks a controlling financial interest in the investee. Equity method investment is measured at cost and adjusted for impairment, if any, for the Company’s share of the investee's income or loss and intra-entity profits. The Company recognizes its proportionate share of income or loss from the JV on a one-quarter lag due to the timing of the availability of the JV’s financial records. Profit earned by the Company from the JV is eliminated through cost of goods sold until it is realized and such profits would generally be considered realized when the inventory has been sold through to third parties . Equity method goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis and when impairment indicators are present. Our impairment analysis considers qualitative and quantitative factors that may have a significant impact on the investee's fair value. Qualitative factors include the investee's financial condition and business outlook, industry and sector performance, operational and financing cash flow activities, and other relevant factors affecting the investee. When indicators of impairment exist, we prepare quantitative assessments of the fair value of our non-marketable equity investments, which require judgment and the use of estimates, including discount rates, investee revenue and costs, and comparable market data, among others. Income Taxes The Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates prior to the completion and filing of tax returns for such periods. This process involves estimating actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences in the treatment of items for tax purposes versus financial accounting purposes that may create net deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires, among other things, that deferred income taxes be provided for temporary differences between the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts. In addition, deferred tax assets are recorded for the future benefit of utilizing net operating losses, research and development credit carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized. Because of the uncertainty of the realization of the deferred tax assets, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its domestic and certain foreign net deferred tax assets. The calculation of unrecognized tax benefits involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. Management regularly assesses the Company’s tax positions in light of legislative, bilateral tax treaty, regulatory and judicial developments in the countries in which the Company does business. The Company anticipates that except for $0.01 million in uncertain tax positions tha |
