Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business Overview Aratana Therapeutics, Inc., including its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Aratana”) was incorporated on December 1, 2010 under the laws of the State of Delaware. T he Company is a pet therapeutics company focused on licensing, developing and commercializing innovative therapeutics for dogs and cats. The Company has one operating segment: pet therapeutics. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2018 (“2017 Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $241,437 as of June 30, 2018 . The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at June 30, 2018, will be sufficient to fund operations and debt obligations for at least one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a term loan and a revolving credit facility with an aggregate principal balance of $29,000 as of June 30, 2018. The loan agreement requires that the Company maintain certain minimum liquidity at all times (the greater of cash equal to fifty percent ( 50% ) of outstanding balance or remaining months’ liquidity, which is calculated on an average trailing three (3) month basis, equal to six (6) months or greater) , which as of June 30, 2018, was approximately $14,500 . If the minimum liquidity covenant is not met, the Company may be required to repay the loans prior to their scheduled maturity dates. At June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. The Company expects continued investment related to commercial activities, including procuring of inventories needed to supply the marketplace, investing to further support adoption and awareness of the Company’s marketed products and payment of milestones related to approval and commencement of commercial sales. This will impact the minimum liquidity that needs to be maintained under the loan agreement. As a result, the Company will need additional capital to fund its operations and debt obligations beyond one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements, which the Company may obtain from corporate collaborations and licensing arrangements, or other sources, such as public or private equity offerings and further debt (re)financings. The future viability of the Company beyond one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to finance its operations, to fund on-going research and development costs, commercialization of its therapeutics and therapeutic candidates and to satisfy debt covenants. If the Company is not able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to it, or at all, as and when needed, the Company would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate certain research and development programs, reduce or eliminate discretionary operating expenses or grant rights to develop and market therapeutics or therapeutic candidates that it would otherwise prefer to develop and market itself, which could otherwise adversely affect its business prospects. The Company’s failure to raise capital, as and when needed, would have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategies as this capital is necessary for it to perform the research and development and commercial activities required to generate future revenue streams. Consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements include its financial statements and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries . Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue from Contracts with Customers Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective transition method. Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company recognized revenue using the guidance of ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605”). The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of the promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company determines revenue recognition from contracts with customers as follows: · identify the contract(s); · identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); · determine the transaction price; · allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and · recognize revenue wh en (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company’s principal revenue streams and their respective accounting treatments are discussed below and further in Note 2, “Revenue” :  (i) Product Sales, Net The Company sells its products to its customers who could either be the end users (such as veterinarians, clinics, or animal hospitals) of the product or distributors who subsequently resell the Company’s products to end users. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, upon delivery to the customer. The Company’s delivery of its products to customers constitutes a single performance obligation as there are no other promises to deliver goods or services beyond what is specified in each accepted customer order. Product sales are recorded net of applicable reserves for variable consideration, including product returns, allowances, discounts, and rebates . Reserves for Variable Consideration Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established. Components of variable consideration include product returns, allowances, discounts, and rebates. These reserves, as detailed below, are based on the amounts earned, or to be claimed on the related sales, and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (generally, for credits that the Company issues for free goods provided by distributors to end customers in conjunction with promotional programs) or a current liability (generally, reserves for products that remained in the distribution channel inventories at each reporting period end that the Company expects the distributors will provide to end customers free of charge in conjunction with promotional programs). These estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes for the expected value (probability-weighted estimate) or relevant factors such as current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the respective underlying contracts. The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known. Product Returns Consistent with the industry practice, the Company generally offers customers a limited right of return of damaged or expired product that has been purchased from the Company or the Company’s distributors in exchange for an unexpired product. Exchanges due to expiry are typically allowed for a period of six months after the product’s expiration date. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its customers and records these estimates as a reduction of product revenues in the period the related product revenues are recognized, as well as within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, net in the consolidated balances sheets. The Company currently estimates product return liabilities using available industry data, its own sales data and data provided by the Company’s distributors such as the inventories remaining in the distribution channel. The Company has received an immaterial amount of returns to date and believes that returns of its products in future periods will be minimal. The Company does not record a return asset associated with the returned damaged or expired goods due to such asset is deemed to be fully impaired at the time of product return. Sales Discounts and Allowances The Company compensates its distributors for sales order management, data and distribution and other services through sales discounts and allowances. However, such services are not distinct from the Company’s sale of products to distributors and, therefore, these discounts and allowances are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations, as well as a reduction to accounts receivable, net in the consolidated balance sheets.  (ii) Licensing and Collaboration Revenues Revenues derived from product out-licensing arrangements typically consist of an initial non-refundable, up-front payment at inception of the license, subsequent milestone payments contingent on the achievement of certain regulatory, development and commercial milestones, and royalties on the net sales of the Company’s products. Licenses of Intellectual Property If the license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the contract, the Company recognizes revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees. The Company will evaluate the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjust the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. Milestones Revenues from achievement of milestones generally represent a form of variable consideration as the payments are likely to be contingent on the occurrence of future events. The Company estimates milestones probable to be achieved and includes in the transaction price based on either the expected value (probability-weighted estimate) or most likely amount approach. The most likely amount is used by the Company for milestone payments with a binary outcome (i.e., the Company receives all or none of the milestone payment). Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the customer, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. The estimated milestone-related variable consideration is only recognized as revenue when the related performance obligation is satisfied and the Company determines that it is probable that there will not be a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized in future periods (i.e. variable consideration constraint). At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect licensing and collaboration revenues and earnings in the period of adjustment. For milestones not able to overcome the variable consideration constraint, not considered probable or that are determined to be sales-or usage royalties, as described later, the Company recognizes revenue when the milestones are achieved. Sales-Based Royalty Revenue The Company’s sales-based royalty revenue could consist of sales-based milestones or percentage of net sales royalties. The Company recognizes sales-based royalties related to the Company’s out-licensed intellectual property when (or as) the later of the following events occurs:  · the sale occurs; or · the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).  Sales-based royalties revenues recorded by the Company are based on the licensee’s or sub-licensee’s sales that occurred during the relevant period. Differences between actual and estimated royalty revenues are adjusted in the period in which they become known, typically in the following quarter. If the Company is unable to reasonably estimate royalty revenue or does not have access to the information, then the Company records royalty revenue when the information needed for a reliable estimate becomes available. Royalty revenue is included in licensing and collaboration revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes revenue from sales-based milestones when the milestones are achieved. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment is recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization of $1,427 and $1,188 , as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. New Accounting Standards Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on recognizing revenue in contracts with customers. The guidance affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This guidance superseded the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605 and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018. The impact of adoption is described further in Note 2 , “Revenue.” Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires, for operating leases, a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight-line basis. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and is to be applied on a modified retrospective transition. The Company is currently assessing the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company currently expects that its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance which will result in recognition of operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets in the consolidated balance sheets upon the adoption of the new guidance. However, the Company’s assessment of the impact of adoption, which may be material, is still ongoing. Compensation – Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance on determining which changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Compensation – Stock Compensation : Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting In June 2018, the FASB issued guidance that largely aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Under the new guidance, the existing employee guidance generally will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions, with the exception of specific guidance related to inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of compensation cost. The cost of nonemployee awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. In addition, the contractual term will be able to be used in lieu of an expected term in the option-pricing model for nonemployee awards. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption of ASC 606 . The Company is currently assessing the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue [Abstract]
Revenue	2. Revenue Adoption of ASC 606 On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 605. The Company recorded a net reduction of $6,800 , net of $0 tax, to the opening balance of accumulated deficit within stockholders’ equity, and a corresponding reduction to licensing and collaboration commitment as of January 1, 2018, due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 606, with the impact solely related to the Company’s variable consideration within its licensing and collaboration agreement with Elanco Animal Health, Inc., a division of Eli Lilly & Co. (“Elanco”) . Under previous guidance of ASC 605, this commitment was fully deferred and recognized as a liability until such time as payments under the obligation were made, or any unpaid portion would have been recognized as revenue when the commitment expired on December 31, 2018. Under ASC 606, this obligation is accounted for as variable consideration. At the adoption date, the Company recorded a contract liability based on the amount of the obligation expected to be paid which was $200 . This amount was determined based on management estimates, which included consideration of Elanco’s development plan. Since inception of the arrangement, no amounts had been paid out or submitted to the Company for reimbursement. Had the Company still applied ASC 605 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, revenues would have been the same as compared to ASC 606. Disaggregated Revenues The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue source. All product sales are derived from United States sources and sales taxes are excluded from revenues.     Three Months Ended Six Months Ended  June 30, June 30,  2018 2017 (1) 2018 2017 (1)  Revenues  Licensing and collaboration revenue  GALLIPRANT $ 1,891 $ 804 $ 3,597 $ 1,707  Total licensing and collaboration revenue 1,891 804 3,597 1,707  Product sales  NOCITA $ 1,756 $ 637 $ 3,303 $ 965  ENTYCE 1,261 — 2,051 —  GALLIPRANT — 3,702 — 6,246  Other — 15 — 35  Total product sales 3,017 4,354 5,354 7,246  Total revenues $ 4,908 $ 5,158 $ 8,951 $ 8,953 (1) Prior period amounts have not been adjusted under the modified retrospective method Product Sales The Company generates product sales revenues primarily by selling its marketed therapeutics directly to end users (such as veterinarians, clinics, or animal hospitals) and distributors. Direct to end user sales revenues consist primarily of NOCITA, and distributor product sales revenues consist primarily of ENTYCE. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, reserves for product returns related to NOCITA and ENTYCE were $199 and $90 , respectively. Licensing and Collaboration Revenue The Company generates licensing and collaboration revenue solely from the Elanco Collaboration, License, Development and Commercialization Agreement (as amended, the “Collaboration Agreement”) and Co-Promotion agreement (“the Co-Promotion Agreement”) (collectively, “the Elanco Agreements”) as follows: · sales-based royalties from the Elanco Agreements consisting of a percentage of net sales of GALLIPRANT by Elanco that are recognized as revenue as the underlying sales of GALLIPRANT are made by Elanco; · sales-based royalties from the Collaboration Agreement consisting of sales-based milestones of GALLIPRANT by Elanco that are recognized as revenue if and when the sales threshold is achieved by Elanco; · regulatory milestones from the Collaboration Agreement that are recognized as revenue if and when achieved; and · variable consideration related to the Collaboration Agreement licensing and collaboration commitment (contract liability) that is recognized as revenue when it is not subject to variable consideration constraint. Reconciliation of Contract Balances The change in contract liability balances for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was as follows: Licensing and Collaboration Commitment    2018  As of January 1, $ 7,000  ASC 606 adoption (6,800)  Revenue recognized —  Payments made —  As of the end of period, $ 200 The Company recorded a net reduction of $6,800 , net of $0 tax, to the opening balance of accumulated deficit within stockholders' equity as of January 1, 2018, due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 606. The Company reviewed the current facts and circumstances and concluded that no changes to the previously estimated transaction price for the Collaboration Agreement at June 30, 2018, are required, and therefore, no change in variable consideration was recognized as revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Unsatisfied Performance Obligations As of the adoption date of ASC 606 and June 30, 2018, the Company had no unsatisfied performance obligations. Significant Judgements The Company’s significant judgements relate to the updating of the transaction price and variable consideration of the Collaboration Agreement. The Company used current facts and circumstances to calculate the updated transaction price using the expected value (probability weighted estimate). Facts and circumstances considered included the current Elanco development plan for GALLIPRANT. Practical Expedients and Exemptions The Company has deemed that there is no significant financing component present in the agreements with the Company’s customers as trade payment terms with its customers do not exceed one year. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Certain estimates and judgments are required to develop the fair value amounts shown above. The fair value amounts shown above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would realize upon disposition, nor do they indicate the Company’s intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each material class of financial instrument: · Cash equivalents – the fair value of the cash equivalents has been determined to be amortized cost given the short duration of the securities. · Marketable securities (short-term) – the fair value of marketable securities has been determined to be amortized cost given the short duration of the securities. The Company had no financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Financial Assets and Liabilities that are not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial liabilities which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:      June 30, 2018  Carrying Value Fair Value  Liabilities:  Loans payable (Level 2) $ 29,604 $ 29,275      December 31, 2017  Carrying Value Fair Value  Liabilities:  Loans payable (Level 2) $ 36,825 $ 36,973 Loans payable values above include both the current and the long-term loans balances as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The financial liabilities above are measured at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts. The fair value amount shown above is not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would realize upon disposition, nor does it indicate the Company’s intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument. The fair value of loans payable was estimated using discounted cash flow analysis discounted at current rates. The Company had no material financial assets not measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

The term loan and the revolving credit facility are secured by all of the Borrowers’ personal property other than intellectual property and certain other customary exclusions. Subject to customary exceptions, the Company is not permitted to encumber its intellectual property. The outstanding principal balance under the Loan Agreement was $24,000 under the term loan facility and $5,000 under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2018 . D uring the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized interest expense of $788 and $1,641 , respectively, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized interest expense of $871 and $1,731 , respectively. Amortization of debt issuance costs and accretion of final payment and termination fees, recognized as interest expense, were $139 and $278 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $120 and $239 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The Company was required to make interest-only payments on the revolving credit facility until October 16, 2017, when all principal and accrued interest were due. Effective as of July 31, 2017, the Borrowers and Lenders entered into a second amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The terms of the Second Amendment, among other things, extend the maturity date of the existing revolving credit facility to October 16, 2019 (the “Revolving Line Maturity Date”), with amortized equal repayments of the principal outstanding under the revolving credit facility beginning November 1, 2018, and provide a six -month interest only period for the term loans, starting on the date of the Second Amendment. The Company is not subject to any new financial covenants as a result of the Second Amendment. At the closing of the Second Amendment, the Company paid the Lenders an amendment fee of $150 and a facility fee of $60 . The Company is also obligated to pay a new termination fee equal to $165 upon the earliest to occur of the Revolving Line Maturity Date, the acceleration of the revolving credit facility or the termination of the revolving credit facility. The existing termination fee of $165 was due upon the original revolving maturity date, October 16, 2017 , and was paid on October 17, 2017 . The term loan and the revolving credit facility bear interest per annum at the greater of (i) 6.91% or (ii) 3.66% plus the prime rate, which is customarily defined. As of June 30, 2018 , the interest rate for the term loan and the revolving credit facility was 8.66% .

The Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, limits or restrictions on the Borrowers’ ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, make certain restricted payments, make certain investments, merge, consolidate, make an acquisition, enter into certain licensing arrangements and dispose of certain assets. In addition, the Loan Agreement contains customary events of default that entitle the Lenders to cause the Borrowers’ indebtedness under the Loan Agreement to become immediately due and payable. The events of default, some of which are subject to cure periods, include, among others, a non-payment default, a covenant default, the occurrence of a material adverse change in the Company’s business, the occurrence of an insolvency, a material judgment default, defaults regarding other indebtedness and certain actions by governmental authorities. Upon the occurrence and for the duration of an event of default, an additional default interest rate equal to 4% per annum will apply to all obligations owed under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement requires that the Company maintain certain minimum liquidity at all times (the greater of cash equal to fifty percent ( 50% ) of outstanding credit extensions or remaining months’ liquidity, which is calculated on an average trailing three (3) month basis, equal to six (6) months or greater) , which as of June 30, 2018 , was approximately $ 14,500 .

Agreements [Abstract]
Agreements	10. Agreements RaQualia Pharma Inc. (“RaQualia”) On December 27, 2010, the Company entered into two Exclusive License Agreements with RaQualia (as amended, the “RaQualia Agreements”) that granted the Company global rights, subject to certain exceptions for injectables in Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan for development and commercialization of licensed animal health products for compounds RQ-00000005 (ENTYCE ® , also known as AT-002) and RQ-00000007 (GALLIPRANT ® , also known as AT-001). The Company will be required to pay RaQualia remaining milestone payments associated with GALLIPRANT and ENTYCE of up to $4,000 and $3,000 , respectively, upon the Company’s achievement of certain development, regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as mid-single digit royalties on the Company’s or the Company’s sublicensee’s product sales. As of June 30, 2018 , the Company had paid $11,500 in milestone payments since execution of the RaQualia Agreements , and no milestone payments were accrued . No milestones were achieved during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. It is possible that a milestone related to the RaQualia Agreements will be achieved within the next twelve months totaling $2,000 . Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Pacira”) On December 5, 2012, the Company entered into an Exclusive License, Development, and Commercialization Agreement with Pacira (the “Pacira License Agreement”) that granted the Company global rights for development and commercialization of licensed animal health products for NOCITA ® (also known as AT-003). On the same date, the Company also entered into a supply agreement with Pacira (the “Pacira Supply Agreement”, and together with the Pacira License Agreement, the “Pacira Agreements”). On July 5, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and Pacira entered into an amendment and restatement of the Pacira License Agreement (“A&R License Agreement”) and an amendment and restatement of the Pacira Supply Agreement (the “A&R Supply Agreement”, and together with the A&R Pacira Agreement, the “Amended Agreements”). Under the A&R Supply Agreement, Pacira has agreed to manufacture and supply the licensed product in a 10 mL vial size in addition to the 20 mL vial size that is currently supplied to the Company. The supply price for the 10 mL vial size will remain fixed until December 31, 2021. Prior to December 31, 2021, the Company and Pacira have agreed to negotiate in good faith the applicable terms related to the 10 mL vial, including the price, for after December 31, 2021. If the Company and Pacira are unable to reach agreement, then as of January 1, 2022 and on each anniversary thereafter during the term of the A&R Supply Agreement, the price for the 10 mL vial will be automatically increased by a low single-digit percentage. The A&R License Agreement amended various sections of the Pacira License Agreement, including milestone payments and royalties, to incorporate the introduction of the 10 mL vial size. Prior to December 31, 2021, the Company will not be obligated to pay any royalty payments to Pacira on the sales of the 10 mL vial and thereafter, the Company and Pacira have agreed to negotiate in good faith the applicable terms relating to the 10 mL vial in accordance with the A&R Supply Agreement. The tiered royalties on the Company’s product sales of 20 mL vials remain unchanged. In addition, the A&R License Agreement reduces the annual net sales thresholds for achieving each of the potential commercial milestone payments owed to Pacira. The remaining $40,000 of commercial milestones per the A&R License Agreement begin to be triggered once NOCITA annual net sales reach $50,000 with the final tier being owed to Pacira once NOCITA annual net sales reach $250,000 . Further, the A&R License Agreement lowered the minimum annual revenue payment to be provided to Pacira by the Company and delayed by one year the first period in which this minimum annual revenue payment requirement would be triggered such that the period is now expected to commence on January 1, 2023. The definition of a competing product was specified and narrowed to those injectable analgesic products preventing pain for at least forty-eight to seventy-two hours post-surgery as an active pharmaceutical ingredient labelled for the control of post-operative pain for surgical veterinary use. The term of the A&R License Agreement was extended with the initial term commencing as of the new Effective Date. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had paid $2,500 in milestone payments since execution of the Pacira License Agreement , and no milestone payments were accrued . No milestones were achieved during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company does not expect to achieve any milestones related to the A&R License Agreement in the next twelve months . Elanco GALLIPRANT On April 22, 2016, the Company entered into the Collaboration Agreement pursuant to which the Company granted Elanco rights to develop, manufacture, market and commercialize the Company’s products based on licensed grapiprant rights and technology , including GALLIPRANT (collectively, “Grapiprant Products”) . Pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, Elanco will have exclusive rights globally outside the United States and co-promotion rights with the Company in the United States during the term of the Collaboration Agreement. Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, the Company received a non-refundable, non-creditable upfront payment of $45,000 . The Company is entitled to a $4,000 milestone payment upon European approval of a Grapiprant Product for the treatment of pain and inflammation, another $4,000 payment upon achievement of a development milestone related to the manufacturing of a Grapiprant Product from an alternate supply source, and payments up to $75,000 upon the achievement of certain sales milestones. The sales milestone payments are subject to a one -third reduction for each year the occurrence of the milestone is not achieved beyond December 31, 2021, with any non-occurrence beyond December 31, 2023, cancelling out the applicable milestone payment obligation entirely. The Collaboration Agreement also provides that Elanco will pay the Company royalty payments on a percentage of net sales in the mid-single to low-double digits. The Company was responsible for all development activities required to obtain the first registration or regulatory approval for a Grapiprant Product for use in dogs in each of the European Union (“the EU Product Registration”) and the United States, and Elanco is responsible for all other development activities. First registration for a Grapiprant Product in the United States was achieved before the completion of the Collaboration Agreement and EU Product Registration was achieved in January 2018. In addition, the Company and Elanco have agreed to pay 25% and 75% , respectively, of all third-party development fees and expenses through December 31, 2018, in connection with preclinical and clinical trials necessary for any additional registration or regulatory approval of Grapiprant Products, provided that the Company’s contribution to such development fees and expenses is capped at $7,000 , which was recorded as licensing and collaboration commitment liability in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2017. Upon adoption of ASC 606 (Note 2), the Company relieved $6,800 of its licensing and collaboration commitment liability. The licensing and collaboration commitment liability balance in future periods will be updated at each future reporting date to reflect current facts and circumstances. Any remaining balance will be recognized as licensing and collaboration revenue on December 31, 2018, when the Company’s obligation to fund 25% of Elanco’s development efforts expires. Commencing on the effective date of the Collaboration Agreement, the Company was responsible for the manufacture and supply of all of Elanco’s reasonable requirements of active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) and/or finished Grapiprant Products under the supply terms agreed upon pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement. However, Elanco retained the ability to assume all or a portion of the manufacturing responsibility during the term of the Collaboration Agreement. On April 28, 2017, the Company and Elanco entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Collaboration Agreement. Under the Amendment, Elanco agreed to submit binding purchase orders to the Company, within 15 days of the effective date of the Amendment, for certain finished Grapiprant Products to be produced from certain batches of API the Company agreed to purchase from its third-party manufacturer (the “API Batches”). In addition, Elanco agreed to pay the Company for the API Batches within 30 days after the Company provides Elanco with proof of payment to the manufacturer for such API Batches. The Amendment provides that, in the event Elanco provided notice of its intent to assume responsibility for manufacturing, Elanco would assume all responsibilities of the Company with respect to any undelivered API, including paying the third-party manufacturer for such undelivered API. In July 2017, pursuant to Sections 8.2.2 and 10.1(c) of the Collaboration Agreement, as amended, Elanco provided the Company notice of its intent to assume responsibility for manufacturing of the Grapiprant Products and its intent to assume the applicable regulatory approvals. In September 2017, the Company and Elanco finalized the transfer of the applicable regulatory approvals in the United States and the responsibility for manufacturing of Grapiprant Products to Elanco. In connection with this assumption of manufacturing responsibility, Elanco compensated the Company $10,832 for certain Grapiprant Product inventories and manufacturing considerations. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had not earned any milestone payments since execution of the Collaboration Agreement, and no milestone payments were accrued. The Company will recognize revenue from the milestones if and when they are achieved by Elanco. On April 22, 2016, in connection with the Collaboration Agreement, the Company entered into the Co-Promotion Agreement to co-promote Grapiprant Products in the United States. Under the terms of the Co-Promotion Agreement, Elanco has agreed to pay the Company, as a fee for promotional services performed and expenses incurred by the Company under the Co-Promotion Agreement, (i) 25% of the gross margin on net sales of Grapiprant Product sold in the United States under the Collaboration Agreement prior to December 31, 2018 (unless extended by mutual agreement), and (ii) a mid-single digit percentage of net sales of the Grapiprant Product in the United States after December 31, 2018 through 2028 (unless extended by mutual agreement). VetStem BioPharma, Inc. (“VetStem”) On June 12, 2014, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with VetStem (as amended, the “VetStem Agreement”) that granted the Company the exclusive United States rights for commercialization and development of VetStem’s allogeneic stem cells being developed for the treatment of pain and inflammation of canine osteoarthritis (“AT-016”). In January 2018, the Company exercised its right to terminate the VetStem Agreement, and on April 19, 2018, the termination became effective. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company did not incur any development expenses or milestones . As a result of the termination of the VetStem Agreement, the Company does not anticipate having to reimburse any further development expenses or make milestone payments to VetStem. AskAt Inc. (“AskAt”) AT-019 On February 28, 2018, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with AskAt (the “AskAt Agreement”) that granted the Company an exclusive global license for development and commercialization of compound AT-019 in the field of animal health. Under the terms of the AskAt Agreement, the Company paid an initial upfront license fee of $500 in the second quarter of 2018. The AskAt Agreement was accounted for as an asset acquisition. On the date of acquisition, the licensed technology had not reached technological feasibility in animal health indications and had no alternative future use in the field of animal health. Accordingly, in-process research and development expense of $500 was recorded upon acquisition in the first quarter of 2018 and paid in the second quarter of 2018. The Company will be required to pay remaining milestone payments of up to $15,500 upon the Company’s achievement of $3,000 of certain development/regulatory and $12,500 of commercial milestones, as well as tiered single digit royalties on the Company’s product sales, if any. The commercial milestones owed to AskAt under the AskAt Agreement begin to be triggered upon the first commercial sale with the final tier being owed to AskAt once annual net sales reach $100,000 . Milestones, at the discretion of the Company, can be paid 50% in cash and 50% in a number of the Company’s shares as determined per the terms of the AskAt Agreement. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had not accrued or paid any milestone or royalty payments since execution of the AskAt Agreement. The Company does not expect to achieve any milestones related to the AskAt Agreement in the next twelve months. Collaboration and Option Agreement On February 28, 2018, in connection with the AskAt Agreement, the Company entered into Collaboration and Option Agreement (the “COA”) with AskAt for animal health research, including a right of first negotiation agreement for multiple therapeutic candidates with potential in pain, allergy and cancer. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company paid an initial upfront option fee of $500 under the terms of the COA, which was recognized as research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	14. Income Taxes The Company recorded no income tax expense or benefit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, due to a full valuation allowance recognized against its deferred tax assets. The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) on December 22, 2017. SAB 118 provides a one-year measurement period from a registrant’s reporting period that includes the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) enactment date to allow the registrant sufficient time to obtain, prepare and analyze information to complete the accounting required under ASC 740. Although the Company made a reasonable estimate of the gross amounts of the deferred tax assets as discussed in the 2017 Annual Report, a final determination of the TCJA’s impact on the deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance requirements remains incomplete pending a full analysis of the provisions of the TCJA and their interpretations. The ultimate impact of the TCJA on the Company’s reported results in 2018 and beyond may differ from the estimates provided therein, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, guidance that may be issued, and other actions the Company may take as a result of the TCJA, different from what is presently contemplated. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has not recorded incremental accounting adjustments related to the TCJA as it continues to consider interpretations of its application, however, the Company expects to complete the accounting by December 2018.

Legal Contingencies [Abstract]
Legal Contingencies	16. Legal Contingencies From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including those related to patents, product liability and government investigations. The Company is not presently a party to any litigation which it believes to be material, and is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against the Company which it believes could have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. The Company accrues contingent liabilities when it is probable that a future liability has been incurred and such liability can be reasonably estimated. As the Company previously disclosed, the Company and two of its current officers were named as defendants in a putative securities class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) under the caption, In re Aratana Therapeutics, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 1:17-cv-00880. The lawsuit alleged that the Company and its senior officers made false and/or misleading statements and omitted material facts regarding the Company’s business, operations, prospects and performance during the proposed class period of March 16, 2015 to March 13, 2017. The Company vigorously defended all claims asserted, including by filing a motion to dismiss. On June 11, 2018, the Court issued an Opinion and Order granting the motion to dismiss in its entirety and dismissing with prejudice all claims asserted against the Company and its senior officers (the “Opinion and Order”). The plaintiffs have not filed a notice of appeal of the Court’s Opinion and Order, and the time to file such notice has expired. The Company now considers the matter to be closed. The Company currently is not a party to any threatened or pending litigation related to intellectual property. However, third parties might allege that the Company or its licensors are infringing their patent rights or that the Company is otherwise violating their intellectual property rights. Such third parties may resort to litigation against the Company or its licensors, which the Company has agreed to indemnify. With respect to some of these patents, the Company expects that it will be required to obtain licenses and could be required to pay license fees or royalties, or both. These licenses may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. A costly license, or inability to obtain a necessary license, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Business Overview	Business Overview Aratana Therapeutics, Inc., including its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Aratana”) was incorporated on December 1, 2010 under the laws of the State of Delaware. T he Company is a pet therapeutics company focused on licensing, developing and commercializing innovative therapeutics for dogs and cats. The Company has one operating segment: pet therapeutics.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2018 (“2017 Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $241,437 as of June 30, 2018 . The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at June 30, 2018, will be sufficient to fund operations and debt obligations for at least one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a term loan and a revolving credit facility with an aggregate principal balance of $29,000 as of June 30, 2018. The loan agreement requires that the Company maintain certain minimum liquidity at all times (the greater of cash equal to fifty percent ( 50% ) of outstanding balance or remaining months’ liquidity, which is calculated on an average trailing three (3) month basis, equal to six (6) months or greater) , which as of June 30, 2018, was approximately $14,500 . If the minimum liquidity covenant is not met, the Company may be required to repay the loans prior to their scheduled maturity dates. At June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. The Company expects continued investment related to commercial activities, including procuring of inventories needed to supply the marketplace, investing to further support adoption and awareness of the Company’s marketed products and payment of milestones related to approval and commencement of commercial sales. This will impact the minimum liquidity that needs to be maintained under the loan agreement. As a result, the Company will need additional capital to fund its operations and debt obligations beyond one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements, which the Company may obtain from corporate collaborations and licensing arrangements, or other sources, such as public or private equity offerings and further debt (re)financings. The future viability of the Company beyond one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to finance its operations, to fund on-going research and development costs, commercialization of its therapeutics and therapeutic candidates and to satisfy debt covenants. If the Company is not able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to it, or at all, as and when needed, the Company would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate certain research and development programs, reduce or eliminate discretionary operating expenses or grant rights to develop and market therapeutics or therapeutic candidates that it would otherwise prefer to develop and market itself, which could otherwise adversely affect its business prospects. The Company’s failure to raise capital, as and when needed, would have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategies as this capital is necessary for it to perform the research and development and commercial activities required to generate future revenue streams.
Consolidation	Consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements include its financial statements and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries . Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers	Revenue from Contracts with Customers Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective transition method. Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company recognized revenue using the guidance of ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605”). The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of the promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company determines revenue recognition from contracts with customers as follows: · identify the contract(s); · identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); · determine the transaction price; · allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and · recognize revenue wh en (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company’s principal revenue streams and their respective accounting treatments are discussed below and further in Note 2, “Revenue” :  (i) Product Sales, Net The Company sells its products to its customers who could either be the end users (such as veterinarians, clinics, or animal hospitals) of the product or distributors who subsequently resell the Company’s products to end users. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, upon delivery to the customer. The Company’s delivery of its products to customers constitutes a single performance obligation as there are no other promises to deliver goods or services beyond what is specified in each accepted customer order. Product sales are recorded net of applicable reserves for variable consideration, including product returns, allowances, discounts, and rebates . Reserves for Variable Consideration Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established. Components of variable consideration include product returns, allowances, discounts, and rebates. These reserves, as detailed below, are based on the amounts earned, or to be claimed on the related sales, and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (generally, for credits that the Company issues for free goods provided by distributors to end customers in conjunction with promotional programs) or a current liability (generally, reserves for products that remained in the distribution channel inventories at each reporting period end that the Company expects the distributors will provide to end customers free of charge in conjunction with promotional programs). These estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes for the expected value (probability-weighted estimate) or relevant factors such as current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the respective underlying contracts. The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known. Product Returns Consistent with the industry practice, the Company generally offers customers a limited right of return of damaged or expired product that has been purchased from the Company or the Company’s distributors in exchange for an unexpired product. Exchanges due to expiry are typically allowed for a period of six months after the product’s expiration date. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its customers and records these estimates as a reduction of product revenues in the period the related product revenues are recognized, as well as within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, net in the consolidated balances sheets. The Company currently estimates product return liabilities using available industry data, its own sales data and data provided by the Company’s distributors such as the inventories remaining in the distribution channel. The Company has received an immaterial amount of returns to date and believes that returns of its products in future periods will be minimal. The Company does not record a return asset associated with the returned damaged or expired goods due to such asset is deemed to be fully impaired at the time of product return. Sales Discounts and Allowances The Company compensates its distributors for sales order management, data and distribution and other services through sales discounts and allowances. However, such services are not distinct from the Company’s sale of products to distributors and, therefore, these discounts and allowances are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations, as well as a reduction to accounts receivable, net in the consolidated balance sheets.  (ii) Licensing and Collaboration Revenues Revenues derived from product out-licensing arrangements typically consist of an initial non-refundable, up-front payment at inception of the license, subsequent milestone payments contingent on the achievement of certain regulatory, development and commercial milestones, and royalties on the net sales of the Company’s products. Licenses of Intellectual Property If the license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the contract, the Company recognizes revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees. The Company will evaluate the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjust the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. Milestones Revenues from achievement of milestones generally represent a form of variable consideration as the payments are likely to be contingent on the occurrence of future events. The Company estimates milestones probable to be achieved and includes in the transaction price based on either the expected value (probability-weighted estimate) or most likely amount approach. The most likely amount is used by the Company for milestone payments with a binary outcome (i.e., the Company receives all or none of the milestone payment). Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the customer, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. The estimated milestone-related variable consideration is only recognized as revenue when the related performance obligation is satisfied and the Company determines that it is probable that there will not be a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized in future periods (i.e. variable consideration constraint). At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect licensing and collaboration revenues and earnings in the period of adjustment. For milestones not able to overcome the variable consideration constraint, not considered probable or that are determined to be sales-or usage royalties, as described later, the Company recognizes revenue when the milestones are achieved. Sales-Based Royalty Revenue The Company’s sales-based royalty revenue could consist of sales-based milestones or percentage of net sales royalties. The Company recognizes sales-based royalties related to the Company’s out-licensed intellectual property when (or as) the later of the following events occurs:  · the sale occurs; or · the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).  Sales-based royalties revenues recorded by the Company are based on the licensee’s or sub-licensee’s sales that occurred during the relevant period. Differences between actual and estimated royalty revenues are adjusted in the period in which they become known, typically in the following quarter. If the Company is unable to reasonably estimate royalty revenue or does not have access to the information, then the Company records royalty revenue when the information needed for a reliable estimate becomes available. Royalty revenue is included in licensing and collaboration revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes revenue from sales-based milestones when the milestones are achieved.
Property and Equipment, Net	Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment is recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization of $1,427 and $1,188 , as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively.
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on recognizing revenue in contracts with customers. The guidance affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This guidance superseded the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605 and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018. The impact of adoption is described further in Note 2 , “Revenue.” Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires, for operating leases, a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight-line basis. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and is to be applied on a modified retrospective transition. The Company is currently assessing the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company currently expects that its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance which will result in recognition of operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets in the consolidated balance sheets upon the adoption of the new guidance. However, the Company’s assessment of the impact of adoption, which may be material, is still ongoing. Compensation – Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance on determining which changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Compensation – Stock Compensation : Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting In June 2018, the FASB issued guidance that largely aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Under the new guidance, the existing employee guidance generally will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions, with the exception of specific guidance related to inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of compensation cost. The cost of nonemployee awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. In addition, the contractual term will be able to be used in lieu of an expected term in the option-pricing model for nonemployee awards. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption of ASC 606 . The Company is currently assessing the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
