Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Foreign Currency Translation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of iRobot and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. iRobot has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). For the Company's subsidiaries that transact in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end foreign exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments are excluded from the determination of net income and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders' equity. The Company operates and reports using a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, the Company’s fiscal quarters end on the Saturday that falls closest to the last day of the third month of each quarter. As used in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, "fiscal 2021" refers to the 52-week fiscal year ending January 1, 2022, "fiscal 2020" refers to the 53-week fiscal year ended January 2, 2021, and "fiscal 2019" refers to the 52-week fiscal year ended December 28, 2019. Use of Estimates The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses. These estimates and judgments, include but are not limited to, revenue recognition, including performance obligations, standalone selling price, variable consideration and other obligations such as sales incentives and product returns; allowance for credit losses; accounting for business combinations; impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets; valuation of non-marketable equity investments; product warranties; loss contingencies; accounting for stock-based compensation including performance-based assessments; and accounting for income taxes and related valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, market participant fair value considerations, projected future cash flows, current conditions, including estimated economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and various other factors that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results and outcomes may differ from the Company’s estimates and assumptions. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company invests its excess cash primarily in money market funds or demand deposit accounts of major financial institutions. Accordingly, its cash and cash equivalents are subject to minimal credit and market risk. At January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled $201.5 million and $432.6 million, respectively. These cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Short Term Investments The Company's short term investments include marketable equity securities with readily determinable fair value and debt securities. The fair value of investments is determined based on quoted market prices at the reporting date for those instruments. The change in fair value of the Company's investments in marketable equity securities is recognized as unrealized gains and losses in other income, net at the end of each reporting period. The Company’s investments in debt securities were classified as available-for-sale and were recorded at fair value with any unrealized gain or loss recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity. Investments consisted of the following (in thousands): January 1, January 2, Cost Fair Cost Fair Marketable equity securities $ 23,286 $ 33,044 $ 46,578 $ 47,576 Corporate and government bonds — — 3,498 3,505 Total short term investments $ 23,286 $ 33,044 $ 50,076 $ 51,081 On July 22, 2021, Matterport, Inc. ("Matterport"), of which the Company held non-marketable equity securities, completed a merger with a special purpose acquisition company and began trading on Nasdaq under the symbol "MTTR." Prior to the merger, the Company accounted for the shares in Matterport as equity securities without readily determinable fair value. Upon consummation of the merger, the Company received 1.6 million shares of MTTR. The post merger Matterport shares received are subject to time based contractual sales restrictions which expire in January 2022. These shares are accounted for as marketable equity securities and measured at fair value, less a temporary discount for lack of marketability, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other income, net at the end of each reporting period. During the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022, the Company recorded gains of $30.2 million associated with the Matterport investment. As of January 1, 2022, the shares in MTTR were valued at $33.0 million and are recorded in short term investments on the consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent to fiscal 2021, the Company sold all MTTR shares and received a net proceed of $16.2 million and recognized a loss of $16.8 million. On July 1, 2020, Teladoc Health, Inc. ("Teladoc") closed on its previously announced acquisition of InTouch Health, of which the Company held non-marketable equity securities. In exchange for its shares of InTouch Health, the Company received 0.2 million shares of Teladoc and recorded a gain of $38.6 million to other income, net during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021. The Teladoc shares received were subject to time based contractual sales restrictions which expired in January 2021. These shares were accounted for as marketable equity securities and measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other income, net at the end of each reporting period. As a result, the Company entered into an economic hedge in July 2020 to reduce the Company's exposure to stock price fluctuations during the restricted period. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company received net proceeds of $51.5 million related to the sale of Teladoc shares with gross proceeds of $60.1 million, net of settlement payment of $8.6 million for the related economic hedge. Allowance for Credit Losses The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable using an expected loss model that requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimate. The expected loss methodology is developed through consideration of factors including, but not limited to, historical collection experience, current customer credit ratings, customer concentrations, current and future economic and market conditions and age of the receivable. Although the Company historically has not experienced significant write-offs resulting from credit losses in accounts receivable, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused uncertainty in some customer accounts. As of January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, the Company had an allowance for credit losses of $4.6 million and $4.8 million, respectively. During fiscal 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a bad debt recovery of $0.2 million and a bad debt expense of $3.6 million, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Accounts receivable allowances Allowance for product returns : The Company records an allowance for product returns based on specific terms and conditions included in the customer agreements or based on historical experience and the Company's expectation of future returns. Allowance for other credits and incentives: The Company records an allowance related to customer incentives such as discounts, promotions, price protection and other support programs. The allowance is based on specific terms and conditions included in customer agreements, specific programs and historical experience. Activity related to accounts receivable allowances was as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended January 1, January 2, December 28, Allowance for product returns Balance at beginning of period $ 64,343 $ 55,191 $ 53,920 Provision 61,014 68,028 69,488 Deduction (68,518) (58,876) (68,217) Balance at end of period $ 56,839 $ 64,343 $ 55,191 Allowance for other credits and incentives Balance at beginning of period $ 142,173 $ 134,046 $ 97,737 Provision 267,821 285,139 284,084 Deduction (308,388) (277,012) (247,775) Balance at end of period $ 101,606 $ 142,173 $ 134,046 Inventory Inventory primarily consists of finished goods and, to a lesser extent, components, which are purchased from contract manufacturers. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined using the standard cost method, which approximates actual costs determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Inventory costs primarily consist of materials, inbound freight, import duties, tariffs, and other handling fees. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or excess inventory based upon assumptions around market conditions and estimates of future demand. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less estimated costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Adjustments to reduce inventory to net realizable value are recognized in cost of revenue and have not been significant for the periods presented. Tariff Refunds From September 2018 until April 2020, our Roomba products were subject to Section 301 tariffs. In April 2020, we were granted a temporary exclusion from Section 301 List 3 tariffs by the United States Trade Representative ("USTR"). This exclusion, as extended in August 2020, eliminated the 25% tariff on Roomba products imported from China until December 31, 2020 and entitled us to a refund of approximately $57.0 million in tariffs paid since the date the Section 301 List 3 tariffs were imposed. The Company recognized a benefit of $36.5 million from tariff refund during fiscal year 2020. Effective January 1, 2021, the 25% Section 301 tariff again applies to our Roomba products imported from China. For the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022, the incremental Section 301 tariff cost was $48.3 million. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows: Estimated Useful Life Computer and equipment 2-5 years Furniture and fixtures 5 Machinery and tooling 2-5 Business applications software 3-7 Leasehold improvements Lesser of economic benefit period or term of lease Expenditures for additions and improvements that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. As assets are retired or sold, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized. Capitalization of Cloud Computing Arrangements The Company incurs costs to implement cloud computing arrangements that are hosted by third-party vendors. Beginning in fiscal 2020, and continuing through fiscal 2021, the Company began investing and implementing various new direct-to-consumer and marketing technology and tools. Implementation costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized until the software is ready for its intended use. The costs are then amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the associated hosting arrangement and are recognized as an operating expense within the consolidated statements of income. Capitalized costs were $7.4 million and $0.7 million as of January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, respectively, and are reported as a component of other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets . Business Combinations The Company allocates the purchase price of each acquisition to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the purchase price over the value of net identified assets acquired. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and contingent consideration, where applicable, at the acquisition date, its estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which is generally one year from the acquisition date, any adjustment to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded against goodwill in the period in which the amount is determined. Any adjustment identified subsequent to the measurement period or the Company's final determination of estimated fair value, whichever comes first, is included in operating results in the period in which the adjustment is determined. Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is assessed for impairment at the reporting unit level annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist. Goodwill impairment, if any, is determined by comparing the reporting unit's fair value to its carrying value. An impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the reporting unit's carrying value over its fair value, up to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Other long-lived assets primarily consist of property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets and intangible assets. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of other long-lived assets whenever events and changes in circumstances, such as reductions in demand or significant economic slowdowns in the industry, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When indicators of impairment are present, the carrying values of the asset group are evaluated in relation to the future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying business. The net book value of the underlying asset is adjusted to fair value if the sum of the expected discounted cash flows is less than book value. Fair values are based on estimates of market prices and assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates, reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk. The impairment assessment of goodwill and other long-lived assets involves significant estimates and assumptions, which may be unpredictable and inherently uncertain. These estimates and assumptions include identification of reporting units and asset groups, long-term growth rates, profitability, estimated useful lives, comparable market multiples, and discount rates. Any changes in these assumptions could impact the result of the impairment assessment. There was no impairment of goodwill or other long-lived assets during fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019. Strategic Investments The Company holds non-marketable equity securities as part of its strategic investments portfolio. The Company classifies the majority of these securities as equity securities without readily determinable fair values and measures these investments at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. These investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs or data in an inactive market and the valuation requires the Company's judgment due to the absence of market prices and inherent lack of liquidity. The Company monitors non-marketable equity investments for impairment indicators, such as deterioration in the investee's financial condition and business forecasts and lower valuations in recent or proposed financings. The estimated fair value is based on quantitative and qualitative factors including, but not limited to, subsequent financing activities by the investee and projected discounted cash flows. Changes in fair value of non-marketable equity investments are recorded in other income, net on the consolidated statements of income. At January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, the Company's equity securities without readily determinable fair values totaled $16.3 million and $17.4 million, respectively, and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Warranty The Company generally provides a one-year warranty on all of its products except in countries where a two-year warranty is required against defects in materials and workmanship. The Company's standard warranty provides for repair or replacement of the associated products during the warranty period. The Company records estimated warranty costs in the period the related revenue is recognized based on historical experience, expectations of future costs to repair or replace including freight and knowledge of specific product failures outside the Company's historical experience. Actual results could differ from these estimates, which could cause increases or decreases to the warranty reserves in future periods. Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company utilizes derivative instruments to partially offset its financial risks to foreign exchange risk. The Company does not engage in speculative hedging activity. In order to account for a derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge, specific criteria must be met, including: (i) ensuring at the inception of the hedge that formal documentation exists for both the hedging relationship and the entity’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge and (ii) at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value attributed to the hedged risk during the period that the hedge is designated. Cash flow hedge amounts that are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges are recognized as a component of net sales in the same period as the related revenue is recognized. Absent meeting these criteria, changes in fair value are recognized in other income, net, in the consolidated statements of income. The Company may also enter into non-designated foreign currency contracts to offset a portion of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses generated by the remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. Changes in fair value are recognized in other income, net, in the consolidated statements of income. Fair Value Measurements The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value is established based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. These tiers include: • Level 1 - observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; • Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and • Level 3 - unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation through recognition of the fair value of the stock-based compensation as a charge against earnings. The fair value for restricted stock units is based on the closing share price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. For performance-based restricted stock units, the compensation cost is recognized based on the number of units expected to vest upon the achievement of the performance conditions. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation as an expense on a straight-line basis, over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur, rather than applying an estimated forfeiture rate. Research and Development Costs incurred in the research and development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred. Advertising Expense Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses. During the years ended January 1, 2022, January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019 advertising expense totaled $147.2 million, $145.2 million and $125.0 million, respectively. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled in each jurisdiction. A valuation allowance is provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the related benefits will not be realized. The Company regularly reviews the deferred tax assets for recoverability considering historical profitability, projected future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each jurisdiction. As of January 1, 2022, January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019, the Company had a valuation allowance of $13.1 million, $7.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for certain deferred tax assets for which the Company believes do not meet the "more likely than not" criteria for recognition. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. Management believes its credit policies are prudent and reflect normal industry terms and business risk. At January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, one customer accounted for 14.5% and 17.6% , respectively, of the Company's accounts receivable balance. For the fiscal years ended January 1, 2022, January 2, 2021, and December 28, 2019, there was one customer that accounted for 10% or more of total revenue, representing 21.8%, 22.7% and 21.3%, of the Company's total revenue, respectively. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts and money market funds at high quality financial institutions. The individual balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. These deposits may be redeemed upon demand, and management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to cash and cash equivalents. Net income per share: Basic income per share is calculated using the Company's weighted-average outstanding common shares. Diluted income per share is calculated using the Company's weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method. The following table presents the calculation of both basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts): Fiscal Year Ended January 1, January 2, December 28, Net income $ 30,390 $ 147,068 $ 85,300 Weighted-average shares outstanding 27,687 28,101 28,097 Dilutive effect of employee stock plans 475 517 638 Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 28,162 28,618 28,735 Basic income per share $ 1.10 $ 5.23 $ 3.04 Diluted income per share $ 1.08 $ 5.14 $ 2.97 Employee stock awards representing approximately 0.1 million, 0.2 million and 0.2 million shares of common stock for the fiscal years ended January 1, 2022, January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been antidilutive. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles as well as clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application. The amendments to this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on the retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2021 and the adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, "Business Combinations - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers." The ASU improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers by providing specific guidance on recognition of contract asset and liability from revenue contracts in a business combination. The amendments to this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company intends to adopt the ASU effective January 1, 2023, and does not expect a material impact to its consolidated financial statements. |
