Organization and Basis of Presentation | Organization and Basis of Presentation GenMark Diagnostics, Inc., the Company or GenMark, was formed by Osmetech plc as a Delaware corporation in February 2010, and had no operations prior to its initial public offering, which was completed in June 2010. The Company is a provider of multiplex molecular diagnostic solutions designed to enhance patient care, improve key quality metrics, and reduce the total cost-of-care. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and applicable regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2019. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim period operating results may not be indicative of the operating results for the full year or any future period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $503,946,000 as of September 30, 2019 . The Company's ability to transition to profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure through expanding its product offerings and consequently increasing its product revenues. As of September 30, 2019 , the Company had available cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $33,187,000 and working capital of $36,632,000 available to fund future operations. The Company has prepared cash flow forecasts which indicate, based on the Company's current cash resources available and working capital, that the Company will have sufficient resources to fund its operations for at least one year after the date the financial statements are issued. 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and the notes thereto. The Company’s significant estimates included in the preparation of the financial statements are related to accounts receivable, inventories, property and equipment, leases, intangible assets, employee-related compensation accruals, warranty liabilities, tax valuation accounts, and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In June 2019, the Company changed its estimate of the forfeiture rate used to determine stock-based compensation expense based upon recent employment history. The change in forfeiture rate resulted in an additional $174,000 in stock-based compensation expense. Segment Information The Company currently operates in one reportable business segment, which encompasses the development, manufacturing, sales and support of instruments and molecular tests based on its proprietary eSensor® detection technology. Substantially all of the Company’s operations and assets are in the United States. Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) , which simplifies the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions. The new standard expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within that fiscal year), with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this new standard in the second quarter of 2018 and determined its application did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which introduces a new methodology for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments. The new standard requires entities to measure financial instruments at their amortized cost basis net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses must reflect an entity's current estimate of all expected credit losses. The new guidance also requires entities to present credit losses on debt securities accounted for under the available-for-sale method as an allowance rather than a write down. The new guidance must be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period presented and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its unaudited consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which outlines a comprehensive lease accounting model and supersedes the prior lease guidance. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use, or ROU, assets for all leases with lease terms of greater than 12 months. The guidance also changes the definition of a lease and expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. The new guidance must be adopted using the modified retrospective approach and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of 2019 using the package of transition practical expedients. The Company recognized non-current ROU assets of $5,097,000 and current and non-current lease liabilities of $1,780,000 and $6,832,000 , respectively, upon adoption. Deferred rent is now presented as an offset to the Company's non-current operating lease ROU assets. The new lease standard did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, or stockholders' equity. Revenue The Company recognizes revenue from operations through the sale of products and other services. Product revenue comprises the sale of diagnostic tests and instruments, as well as related services. Revenue is recognized when control of products and services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive from the customer in exchange for those products and services. This process involves identifying the contract with the customer, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the contract price, allocating the contract price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other obligations in a contract when it provides a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and is separately identified in the contract. The Company considers a performance obligation satisfied once it has transferred control of a good or service to the customer, meaning the customer has the ability to use and obtain the benefit of the good or service. The Company recognizes revenue for satisfied performance obligations only when it determines there are no uncertainties regarding payment terms or transfer of control. Revenue from product sales is recognized generally upon shipment to the end customer, which is when control of the product is deemed to be transferred. Invoicing typically occurs upon shipment and the term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. Revenue from instrument services is recognized as the services are rendered, typically evenly over the contract term. Revenue is recorded net of discounts and sales taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities. Employee sales commissions are recorded as selling, general, and administrative expenses when incurred or amortized over the estimated contract term when resulting from new contract acquisition efforts. The Company allocates contract price to each performance obligation in proportion to its stand-alone selling price. The stand-alone selling price is determined by the Company's best estimate of stand-alone selling price using average selling prices over a rolling 12-month period along with a specific assessment of any unique circumstances of the contract. For those products for which there is limited sales history, the Company makes price determinations based on similar product sales data. The following table represents disaggregated revenue by source (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2019 2018 2019 2018 Revenue Source: ePlex product revenue $ 13,365 $ 6,743 $ 41,051 $ 25,757 XT-8 product revenue 7,457 8,970 19,362 25,399 Total product revenue 20,822 15,713 60,413 51,156 License and other revenue 96 82 412 225 Total revenue $ 20,918 $ 15,795 $ 60,825 $ 51,381 Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks, money market instruments, and certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Marketable securities consist of certificates of deposits that mature in greater than three months. Marketable securities are accounted for as "available-for-sale" with the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets stated at cost, which approximates their fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses, if any, reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity and included in comprehensive loss. Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents amounts designated for uses other than current operations and was $758,000 as of both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , which represented an amount held as security for the Company’s letter of credit with Banc of California. The following table shows a reconciliation of the Company's cash and cash equivalents in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet to cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as of September 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands): September 30, 2019 2018 Cash and cash equivalents 24,308 25,005 Restricted cash 758 758 Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash 25,066 25,763 Receivables Accounts receivable consist of amounts due to the Company for sales to customers and are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on an assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts, the aging of accounts receivable, and a reserve for unknown items based upon the Company’s historical experience. Product Warranties The Company generally offers a one-year warranty for its instruments sold to customers and typically up to a sixty-day warranty for consumables. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty reserves include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty repairs, and the cost per repair. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its warranty reserve and adjusts the amount as appropriate. Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of licenses or sublicenses to technology covered by patents owned by third parties, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of these assets, which is generally ten years. Amortization of licenses typically begins upon the Company obtaining access to the licensed technology and is recorded in cost of revenues for licenses supporting commercialized products. The amortization of licenses to technology supporting products in development is recorded in research and development expenses. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, by periodically evaluating the carrying value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If impairment is indicated, the Company writes down the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. This fair value is primarily determined based on estimated discounted cash flows. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value and include direct labor, materials, and manufacturing overhead. The Company periodically reviews inventory for evidence of slow-moving or obsolete parts, and writes inventory down to net realizable value, as needed. This write-down is based on management’s review of inventories on hand, compared to estimated future usage and sales, shelf-life assumptions, and assumptions about the likelihood of obsolescence. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by the Company, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventory impairment charges establish a new cost basis for inventory and charges are not reversed subsequently to income, even if circumstances later suggest that increased carrying amounts are recoverable. Property and Equipment, net Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are identified below. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Machinery and laboratory equipment 3 - 5 years Instruments 4 - 5 years Office equipment 3 - 7 years Leasehold improvements over the shorter of the remaining life of the lease or the useful economic life of the asset Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as noncurrent operating lease ROU assets and current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities. Finance leases are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as other current assets and liabilities and other non-current assets and liabilities. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset over the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the Company’s lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payments. ROU assets are recognized at the commencement date based upon the initial measurement of the operating lease liability less any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease agreements can include both lease and non-lease components. The Company accounts for each lease component separately from the non-lease components within its lease agreements. Income Taxes Current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable for the current year. A deferred income tax liability or asset is established for the expected future tax consequences resulting from the differences in financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the Company’s ability to utilize these assets in the future. The Company provides for uncertain tax positions when such tax positions do not meet the recognition thresholds or measurement standards prescribed by the authoritative guidance on income taxes. Amounts for uncertain tax positions are adjusted in periods when new information becomes available or when positions are effectively settled. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. A tax position that is more likely than not to be realized is measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Measurement of a tax position that meets the more likely than not threshold considers the amounts and probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon settlement using the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. |
