Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of BioTelemetry, Inc.’s (“BioTelemetry,” “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” ) financial position as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the consolidated financial statements related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are unaudited. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. Net Income Per Share We compute net income per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares, including stock options and restricted stock units. The following table presents the calculation of basic net income per share: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2016 2015 2016 2015 (Net income in thousands) Numerator: Net income $ $ $ $ Denominator: Weighted average shares used in computing basic net income per share Potential dilutive common shares due to dilutive stock option and restricted stock units Weighted average shares used in computing diluted net income per share Net income per share: Basic net income per share $ $ $ $ Diluted net income per share $ $ $ $ Certain stock options, which are priced higher than the market price of our shares as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, would be anti-dilutive and therefore have been excluded from the weighted average shares used in computing diluted net income per share. These options could become dilutive in future periods. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of financial instruments is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. We have financial instruments falling into all three levels of the fair value hierarchy. Our Level 1 financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value because of their short-term nature. Long-term debt, which is given a Level 2 classification within the fair value hierarchy, was determined to have a fair value of $37,767 as of September 30, 2016. This is equal to the nominal value, which is the carrying value, exclusive of debt discount and deferred charges. The fair value of contingent consideration, which is a Level 3 fair value instrument, is measured on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs such as projected payment dates, probabilities of meeting specified milestones and other such variables resulting in payment amounts which are discounted back to present value using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. In addition to our recurring fair value measurements, we have assets acquired in connection with business combinations, which are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date using a discounted cash flow model, which is a Level 3 classification. This valuation technique requires the Company to make certain assumptions, including, but not limited to, future operating performance and cash flows, royalty rates and other such variables which are discounted to present value using a discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with future operating cash flow of the acquired business, the characteristics of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the experience of the acquired business. Equity Method Investments We account for investments using the equity method of accounting if the investment provides us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company’s ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee ranges between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s board of directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is recorded at cost in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of other assets and is periodically adjusted for capital contributions, dividends received and our share of the investee’s earnings or losses together with other-than-temporary impairments which are recorded as a component of interest and other loss, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. In December 2015, we acquired an ownership interest in Well Bridge Health, Inc. (“WellBridge”) through the conversion of an outstanding note receivable and the related accrued interest. The investment is accounted for under the equity method. At the time of the acquisition, the equity method basis difference of $891 was allocated to equity method goodwill. As of September 30, 2016, our investment in WellBridge represented 32% of the outstanding stock. A summary of our investment in Wellbridge is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Opening balance $ $ Capital contributions Our share of the investee’s losses ) ) September 30, 2016 Balance $ $ Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or when events arise that could indicate that an impairment exists. The provisions of ASC 350 require that we perform a two-step impairment test. In the first step, we compare the fair value of our reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting units. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting units exceeds the fair value of the reporting units, then the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting units’ goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting units’ goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded. For the purpose of performing our goodwill impairment analysis, we consider our business to be comprised of three reporting units: Healthcare, Research and Technology. We calculate the fair value of the reporting units utilizing a weighting of the income and market approaches. The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow methodology that includes assumptions for, among other things, forecasted income, cash flow, growth rates, income tax rates, expected tax benefits and long-term discount rates, all of which require significant judgment. The market approach utilizes our market data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and the judgment applied in the analysis. We believe that the combination of an income and a market approach provides a reasonable basis to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. Acquired intangible assets are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The estimated fair values and useful lives of intangible assets are determined by assessing many factors including estimates of future operating performance and cash flow of the acquired business, the characteristics of the intangible assets acquired and the experience of the acquired business. Independent appraisal firms may assist with the valuation of acquired assets. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill consists of a comparison of the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to the carrying value of the asset. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . The standard will revise accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . The standard will require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheet and makes selected changes to lessor accounting. The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, with certain practical expedients available. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . The standard will require inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The guidance will not apply to inventories for which cost is determined using the last-in, first-out method or the retail inventory method. The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which has been updated through several revisions and clarifications since its original issuance. The standard will require revenue recognized to represent the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration which a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires new, expanded disclosures regarding revenue recognition. The standard will be effective January 1, 2018 with early adoption permissible beginning January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the transition method we will elect and the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. |
