Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Atrion Corporation and its subsidiaries (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Atrion,” or the “Company”) develop and manufacture products primarily for medical applications. We market our products throughout the United States and internationally. Our customers include physicians, hospitals, distributors, and other manufacturers. Atrion Corporation’s principal subsidiaries through which these operations are conducted are Atrion Medical Products, Inc., Halkey-Roberts Corporation, and Quest Medical, Inc. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Atrion Corporation and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior-year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation. Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash deposits in the bank as well as money market funds and debt securities with maturities at the time of purchase of 90 days or less. Cash deposits in the bank include amounts in operating accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts. Our investments consist of corporate and government bonds, commercial paper, mutual funds, and equity securities. We classify our investment securities in one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. Securities that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity securities. We report our available-for-sale and trading securities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other investment income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Income We consider as current assets those investments which will mature in the next 12 months including interest receivable on long-term bonds. The remaining investments are considered non-current assets including our investment in equity securities which we intend to hold longer than 12 months. We periodically evaluate our investments for impairment. December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Cash and cash equivalents: Cash deposits $ 2,388 $ 16,628 Money market funds 29,876 4,822 Commercial paper - 1,000 Total cash and cash equivalents $ 32,264 $ 22,450 Short-term investments: Bonds (held-to-maturity) $ 26,831 $ 14,101 Commercial paper (held-to-maturity) 2,248 5,178 Allowance for credit losses (20 ) (21 ) Total short-term investments $ 29,059 $ 19,258 Long-term investments: Bonds (held-to-maturity) $ 13,405 $ 41,619 Equity securities (available for sale) 5,468 4,077 Mutual funds (available for sale) 559 563 Allowance for credit losses (9 ) (52 ) Total long-term investments $ 19,423 $ 46,207 Total cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term investments $ 80,746 $ 87,915 Account Receivables Accounts receivable are recorded at the original sales price to the customer. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect estimated losses resulting from the failure of customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is updated periodically to reflect our estimate of collectability. Accounts are written off when we determine the receivable will not be collected. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (including materials, direct labor, and applicable overhead) or net realizable value. Cost is determined by using the first-in, first-out method. The following table details the major components of inventory (in thousands): December 31, 2021 2020 Raw materials $ 23,733 $ 20,308 Work in process 9,571 11,339 Finished goods 17,474 18,651 Total inventories $ 50,778 $ 50,298 Accounts Payable We reflect disbursements as trade accounts payable until such time as payments are presented to our bank for payment. Disbursements totaling approximately $1.989 million at December 31, 2021 and $1.434 million at December 31, 2020, had not been presented for payment to our bank. Income Taxes We account for income taxes utilizing Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 740), Income Taxes ASC 740 also requires the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes of income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return must be recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the provision for income taxes unless it is more-likely-than-not of being sustained. Any uncertain tax positions are recorded within “Other non-current liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We classify interest expense on underpayments of income taxes and accrued penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. We account for excess tax benefits (“windfalls”) and deficiencies (“shortfalls”) related to employee stock compensation as required by ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting We made quarterly payments in excess of federal and state income taxes due of approximately $345 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2021 and $1.525 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. These amounts were recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Additions and improvements are capitalized, including all material, labor, and engineering costs to design, install, or improve the asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The following table represents a summary of property, plant, and equipment at original cost (in thousands): December 31, Useful 2021 2020 Lives Land $ 5,511 $ 5,511 — Buildings 35,303 35,114 30-40 yrs. Machinery and equipment 192,403 178,287 3-15 yrs. Total property, plant and equipment $ 233,217 $ 218,912 Depreciation expense was $12.767 million in 2021, $11.533 million in 2020, and $10.733 million in 2019. Depreciation expense is recorded in either cost of goods sold or operating expenses based on the associated assets’ usage. Patents and Licenses Costs for patents and licenses acquired are determined at acquisition date. Patents and licenses are amortized over the useful lives of the individual patents and licenses, which are from seven to 20 years. Patents and licenses are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired. Annual impairment testing for goodwill is performed in the fourth quarter of each year using a qualitative assessment on goodwill impairment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the carrying value of our reporting units exceeds their fair value. If necessary, a two-step goodwill impairment analysis is performed. Goodwill is also reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a change in value may have occurred. We have identified three reporting units where goodwill was recorded for purposes of testing goodwill impairment annually: (1) Atrion Medical Products, Inc., (2) Halkey-Roberts Corporation, and (3) Quest Medical, Inc. The total carrying amount of goodwill in each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $9.730 million. Our evaluation of goodwill during each year resulted in no impairment losses. Current Accrued Liabilities December 31, 2021 2020 Accrued payroll and related expenses $ 4,988 $ 5,588 Accrued vacation 387 344 Other accrued liabilities 555 633 Total accrued liabilities $ 5,930 $ 6,565 Revenues We recognize revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. This occurs with the transfer of control of our products to customers when products are shipped. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring products or services. Sales and other taxes we may collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. We believe that our medical device business will benefit in the long term from an aging world population along with an increase in life expectancy. In the near term, however, demand for our products fluctuates based on our customers’ requirements which are driven in large part by their customers’ or patients’ needs for medical care which does not always follow broad economic trends. This affects the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenue. Also, changes in the value of the United States dollar relative to foreign currencies could make our products more or less affordable and therefore affect our sales in international markets. A summary of revenues by geographic area, based on shipping destination, for 2021, 2020, and 2019 is as follows (in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 United States $ 96,925 $ 85,682 $ 98,496 China 9,113 6,088 5,858 Germany 8,593 9,712 7,996 Other countries less than 5% of revenues 50,378 46,109 42,716 Total $ 165,009 $ 147,591 $ 155,066 A summary of revenues by product line for 2021, 2020 and 2019 is as follows (in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Fluid Delivery $ 77,753 $ 75,228 $ 72,117 Cardiovascular 56,919 48,524 54,799 Ophthalmology 6,332 4,700 7,124 Other 24,005 19,139 21,026 Total $ 165,009 $ 147,591 $ 155,066 More than 99 percent of our total revenue in the periods presented herein is pursuant to shipments initiated by a purchase order. Under the guidance from Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Our payment terms vary by the type and location of our customers and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is 30 days in most cases. For certain products or services and customer types, we require payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer. We evaluate the collectability of specific accounts and determine when to grant credit to our customers using a combination of factors, including the age of the outstanding balances, evaluation of customers’ current and past financial condition, recent payment history, current economic environment, and discussions with our personnel and with the customers directly. We apply these same factors and more when evaluating certain aged receivables for collectability issues and to determine changes necessary to our allowance for doubtful accounts. If circumstances change, our estimates of the collectability of amounts could be changed by a material amount. We have elected to recognize the cost for shipping as an expense in cost of sales when control over the product has transferred to the customer. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are reported as revenue. We do not make any material accruals for product returns and warranty obligations. Our manufactured products come with a standard warranty to be free from defect and, in the event of a defect, may be returned by the customer within a reasonable period of time. Historically, our returns have been unpredictable but very low due to our focus on quality control. A one-year warranty is provided with certain equipment sales but warranty claims and our accruals for these obligations have been minimal. We expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would be one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling expense. Atrion has contracts in place with customers for equipment leases, equipment financing, and equipment and other services. These contracts represent less than four percent of our total revenue in all periods presented herein. A portion of these contracts contain multiple performance obligations including embedded leases. For such arrangements, we historically allocated revenue to each performance obligation which is capable of being distinct and accounted for as a separate performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices. We generally determine standalone selling prices based on observable inputs, primarily the prices charged to customers. Beginning July 1, 2018, for agreements with an embedded lease component we adopted the practical expedient in ASU 2018-11 Leases: Targeted Improvements Our fixed monthly equipment rentals to customers are accounted for as operating leases under ASU 2016-02, Leases A limited number of our contracts have variable consideration including tiered pricing and rebates which we monitor closely for potential constraints on revenue. For these contracts we estimate our position quarterly using the most-likely-outcome method, including customer-provided forecasts and historical buying patterns, and we accrue for any asset or liability these arrangements may create. The effect of accruals for variable consideration on our consolidated financial statements is immaterial. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount which we have the right to invoice. We believe that the complexity added to our disclosures by the inclusion of a large amount of insignificant detail in attempting to disclose information under ASC 606 about immaterial contracts would potentially obscure more useful and important information. Leases to Customers Our equipment treated as leases to customers under ASC 842 is included in our Property, Plant, and Equipment on our consolidated balance sheets. After our adoption of ASU 2018-11, the cost of the assets and associated depreciation that remain under lease agreements is immaterial. Due to the immaterial amount of revenue from our lessor activity, all other lessor disclosures under ASC 842 have been omitted. Leased Property and Equipment As a lessee, we have three leases in total for equipment and facilities used internally, which we account for as operating leases. At December 31, 2021, our right-of-use asset balance was $98 thousand and our lease liability at December 31, 2021 for these leases was $90 thousand. The monthly expense of $35 thousand for these operating leases, which are our only lessee arrangements, is immaterial and therefore all other lessee disclosures under ASC 842 have been omitted. Research and Development Costs Research and Development, or R&D, costs relating to the development of new products and improvements of existing products are expensed as incurred. Stock-Based Compensation We have a stock-based compensation plan covering certain of our officers, directors, key employees, and non-physician consultants. As explained in detail in Note 8, we account for stock-based compensation utilizing the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, Liability-classified awards The Company classifies certain awards that can or will be settled in cash as liability awards. The fair value of a liability-classified award is determined on a quarterly basis beginning at the grant date until final vesting. Changes in the fair value of liability-classified awards are recorded to general and administrative expense over the vesting period of the award. New Accounting Pronouncements From time to time new accounting pronouncements applicable to us are issued by the FASB, or other standards setting bodies, which we adopt as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Fair Value Measurements Accounting standards use a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we held investments in commercial paper, bonds, money market funds, mutual funds, and equity securities that are required to be measured for disclosure purposes at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values of these investments and their tier levels are shown in Note 2. The carrying values of our other financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and accrued income and other taxes approximated fair value due to their liquid and short-term nature. Concentration of Credit Risk Our cash deposits are held in accounts with financial institutions that we believe are creditworthy. Certain of these amounts at times may exceed federally-insured limits. At December 31, 2021, approximately 98 percent of our cash deposits were uninsured. We have not experienced any credit losses in such accounts and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on these funds. We have investments in money market funds, bonds, and commercial paper. As a result, we are exposed to potential loss from market risks that may occur as a result of changes in interest rates, changes in credit quality of the issuer, and otherwise. These securities have a higher degree of, and a greater exposure to, credit or default risk and may be less liquid in times of economic weakness or market disruptions as compared with cash deposits. For accounts receivable, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral. We maintain reserves for possible credit losses. We had allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $69 thousand at December 31, 2021 and $41 thousand, at December 31, 2020. The carrying amount of the receivables approximates their fair value. We had one customer which accounted for 11% of our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021 and two customers which accounted for 12% each of our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020. |

2- Investments | (2) Investments As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we held investments in commercial paper, bonds, money market funds, mutual funds, and equity securities that are required to be measured for disclosure purposes at fair value on a recurring basis. The commercial paper and bonds are considered held-to-maturity and are recorded at amortized cost in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The money market funds, equity securities, and mutual funds are recorded at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These investments are considered Level 1 or Level 2 as detailed in the table below. We consider as current assets those investments which will mature in the next 12 months including interest receivable on the long-term bonds. The remaining investments are considered non-current assets including our investment in equity securities we intend to hold longer than 12 months. The fair values of these investments were estimated using recently executed transactions and market price quotations. The amortized cost and fair value of our investments, and the related gross unrealized gains and losses, were as follows as of the dates shown below (in thousands): Gross Unrealized Level Cost Gains Losses Fair Value As of December 31, 2021: Money market funds 1 $ 29,876 $ -- $ -- $ 29,876 Commercial paper 2 $ 2,248 $ -- $ -- $ 2,248 Bonds 2 $ 40,236 $ 97 $ (37 ) $ 40,296 Mutual funds 1 $ 558 $ 1 $ -- $ 559 Equity investments 2 $ 5,675 $ -- $ (207 ) $ 5,468 As of December 31, 2020: Money market funds 1 $ 4,822 $ -- $ -- $ 4,822 Commercial paper 2 $ 6,178 $ -- $ -- $ 6,178 Bonds 2 $ 55,720 $ 505 $ (44 ) $ 56,181 Mutual funds 1 $ 599 $ -- $ (36 ) $ 563 Equity investments 2 $ 5,675 $ -- $ (1,598 ) $ 4,077 The above equity investments represent an investment in one company at December 31, 2021 and is classified as available for sale. The carrying value of our investments is reviewed quarterly for changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events that suggest an investment may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2021, we had two bond investments in a loss position for more than 12 months. At December 31, 2021, the length of time until maturity of the bonds we currently own ranged from one to 48 months and the length of time until maturity of the commercial paper ranged from one to four months. We use a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for held-to-maturity securities at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. Our credit loss calculations for held-to-maturity securities are based upon historical default and recovery rates of bonds rated with the same rating as our portfolio. We also apply an adjustment factor to these credit loss calculations based upon our assessment of the expected impact from current economic conditions on our investments, including the impact of COVID-19. We monitor the credit quality of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity through the use of their respective credit ratings and update them on a quarterly basis with our latest assessment completed on December 31, 2021. Our allowance for credit losses was $29 thousand as of December 31, 2021 and $72 thousand as of December 31, 2020. The following table summarizes the amortized cost of our held-to-maturity bonds at December 31, 2021, aggregated by credit quality indicator (in thousands): Held-to-Maturity Bonds Credit Quality Indicators Fed Govt.

4- Line of Credit | (4) Line of Credit As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had a $75.0 million revolving credit facility with a money-center bank pursuant to which the lender is obligated to make advances until February 28, 2024. On February 12, 2021, this credit facility was amended to, among other things, extend the date for advances to February 28, 2024. The credit facility is secured by substantially all our inventories, equipment, and accounts receivable. The interest rate on borrowings under this credit facility, if drawn, is indexed to the 30-day, 60-day, or 90-day LIBOR, as selected by us. We had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility at December 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. Our ability to borrow funds under the credit facility is contingent upon meeting certain covenants in the loan agreement, the most restrictive of which is the ratio of total debt to earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation, and amortization. At December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all of the covenants. |

The liability for unrecognized tax benefits included accrued interest of $20 thousand at December 31, 2019. Tax expense included a net interest benefit of $0 for the year ended December 31, 2021, $35 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020, and $16 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019. |

6- Stockholders's Equity | (6) Stockholders’ Equity Our Board of Directors has at various times authorized repurchases of our stock in open-market or privately-negotiated transactions at such times and at such prices as management may from time to time determine. On May 21, 2015, our Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 250 thousand shares of our common stock in open-market or privately-negotiated transactions. This program has no expiration date but may be terminated by the Board of Directors at any time. As of December 31, 2021, there remained 174,190 shares available for repurchase under this program. As of December 31, 2020, there remained 202,018 shares available for repurchase under this program. We repurchased a total of 27,828 shares of our common stock during 2021 and 29,747 shares in 2020 in open-market transactions. We increased our quarterly cash dividend payments in September of each of the past three years. The quarterly dividend was increased to $1.55 per share in September 2019, to $1.75 per share in September 2020, and to $1.95 per share in September 2021. Holders of our stock units earned non-cash dividend equivalents of $24 thousand in each of 2021 and 2020 and $22 thousand in 2019. |

Stockbased Compensation | |
8- Stock-based Compensation | (8) Stock-based Compensation At December 31, 2021, we had two stock-based compensation plans described below. Our accounting and disclosures are based on the application of ASC 718. Our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, or 2021 Plan, and our Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, or 2006 Plan, provide for awards to key employees, non-employee directors, and consultants of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, and other stock-based awards. Under the 2021 Plan, 100,000 shares, in the aggregate, of common stock are reserved for awards, and under the 2006 Plan, 200,000 shares, in the aggregate, of common stock were reserved for awards. As of December 31, 2021, no future stock-based awards are permitted under the 2006 plan. The purchase price of shares issued on the exercise of options under both plans is required to be at least equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. The options granted become exercisable and expire as determined by the Compensation Committee. A summary of stock option transactions for the year ended December 31, 2021, is presented below: Options Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Outstanding at December 31, 2020 20,000 $ 501.03 1.3 years Granted -- -- Exercised 12,000 -- Outstanding at December 31, 2021 8,000 $ 501.03 0.3 years Exercisable at December 31, 2021 4,000 $ 501.03 0.3 years All nonvested options outstanding at December 31, 2021 are expected to vest. None of our grants includes performance-based or market-based vesting conditions. We estimate the fair value of stock options granted under both plans using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula and a single option award approach. Our Black-Scholes valuation uses a volatility factor based on our historical stock trading history, a risk-free interest rate based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury securities with an equivalent term, and a dividend yield based on our dividend history. Our expected life assumption represents the period that our stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules, and expectations of future employee behavior. There were no options granted in 2021 or 2020. The weighted average grant date fair value of the options granted in 2017 was $130.35. The total intrinsic value of options outstanding at December 31, 2021, was $1.631 million. The total intrinsic value of exercisable options at December 31, 2021, was $816 thousand. There were no restricted stock grants during 2021 or 2020. During 2017, we granted two awards of restricted stock under the 2006 Plan. Under the terms of our restricted stock awards, the restrictions usually lapse over a five-year period. Both of the 2017 awards include restrictions on transfer for a two-year period following vesting. Under both plans, during the vesting period holders of restricted stock have voting rights and earn dividends, but the shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered. Nonvested shares are generally forfeited on termination of employment unless otherwise provided in the participant’s employment agreement or the termination is in connection with a change in control. We calculated the weighted average fair value per share of the restricted stock awarded in 2017 using the market value of our common stock on the date of the grant with a discount for post-vesting restrictions of 11.2%. We estimated this discount using the Chaffe protective put method. A summary of changes in nonvested restricted stock for the year ended December 31, 2021, is presented below: Nonvested Shares Weighted Average Award Date Fair Value Per Share Restricted stock at December 31, 2020 2,360 $ 445.47 Granted -- -- Vested (1,180 ) $ 445.47 Restricted stock at December 31, 2021 1,180 $ 445.47 All shares of nonvested restricted stock outstanding at December 31, 2021 are expected to vest. The total fair value of restricted stock was $754 thousand for stock vested during 2021, $762 thousand for stock vested in 2020, and $994 thousand for stock vested in 2019. During 2021, restricted stock units were granted to certain employees. All of our restricted stock units granted under both plans are convertible to shares of stock on a one-for-one basis when the restrictions lapse, which is generally after a five-year period. Nonvested restricted stock units are generally forfeited upon termination of employment unless the termination is in connection with a change in control. Under both plans, during the vesting period holders of restricted stock units earn dividends in the form of additional units. A summary of changes in stock units for the year ended December 31, 2021, is presented below: Nonvested Stock Units Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Award Date Fair Value Per Unit Director’s Stock Units Weighted Average Award Date Fair Value Per Unit Nonvested at December 31, 2020 3,115 $ 657.70 -- Granted & Added 1,497 $ 696.17 6 $ 660.09 Forfeited (441 ) $ 708.51 -- Vested -- $ -- (6 ) $ 660.09 Nonvested at December 31, 2021 4,171 $ 666.14 -- All nonvested restricted stock units at December 31, 2021 are expected to vest. The total intrinsic value of these outstanding stock units which were not convertible at December 31, 2021, including 508 stock units held for the accounts of non-employee directors, was $3.3 million. The total fair value of directors’ stock units was $4 thousand for units that vested during 2021, $11 thousand for units that vested during 2020, and $7 thousand for units that vested during 2019. During 2020, we granted 3,865 restricted stock units outside of the plans to three employees that will be settled in cash and are treated as liability-classified awards. The grant-date fair value per unit for these awards was $646.90. No grants of this type were made outside the plans prior to 2020. These units vest 20 percent each year over a five-year period beginning in 2021. Changes in the fair value of these awards are recorded to G&A expense over the vesting period of the award. The liability recorded for these units is adjusted to the current market value at the end of each reporting period. We paid cash of $485 thousand to settle the 20 percent vesting in 2021. At December 31, 2021, our recorded liability for the remaining units was $297 thousand. The intrinsic value of these units at December 31, 2021 was $2.191 million including accrued amounts for dividend equivalents. The total value of stock awards to nonemployee directors awarded under the plans was $432 thousand in 2021 and $240 thousand in 2019. No stock awards were granted in 2020. These awards vested immediately at the time of the grants. Compensation related to stock option awards, restricted stock, and restricted stock units that are treated as equity-classified awards is based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of the award. These fair values are then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. We recorded stock-based compensation expense as a G&A expense in the amount of $2.312 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, $1.731 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, and $1.682 million for the year ended December 31 2019, for all of the above-mentioned stock-based compensation arrangements. The total tax benefit recognized in the income statement from stock-based compensation arrangements was $559 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021, $444 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020, and $765 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019. These amounts include excess tax benefits in each year.

10- Employee Retirement and Benefit Plans | (10) Employee Retirement and Benefit Plans We sponsor a defined contribution 401(k) plan for all employees. Each participant may contribute certain amounts of eligible compensation. We make a matching contribution to the plan. Our contributions under this plan were $980 thousand in 2021, $917 thousand in 2020, and $845 thousand in 2019. The Company has a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan for certain key management or highly-compensated employees. The plan allows for the deferral of salary and bonus compensation until retirement or other specified payment events occur. Employees’ deferred compensation amounts are deemed to be invested in certain investment funds, indexes, or vehicles selected by our Compensation Committee and designated by each participant and their deferral balances are adjusted for earnings based upon the performance of these deemed investments. Our deferred compensation obligation under the plan was $2.031 million at December 31, 2021 and $1.544 million at December 31 2020. These amounts are reflected in “Other Liabilities and Deferred Credits” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. |

11- Commitment and Contingencies | (11) Commitments and Contingencies From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to various claims, charges, and litigation. In some cases, the claimants may seek damages, as well as other relief, which, if granted, could require significant expenditures. We accrue the estimated costs of settlement or damages when a loss is deemed probable and such costs are estimable, and accrue for legal costs associated with a loss contingency when a loss is probable and such amounts are estimable. Otherwise, these costs are expensed as incurred. If the estimate of a probable loss or defense costs is a range and no amount within the range is more likely, we accrue the minimum amount of the range. As of December 31, 2021, we had no ongoing litigation or arbitration for such matters. We had a dispute which was favorably settled in the third quarter of 2007. This settlement was amended in December 2008. The amended settlement agreement provides that we may receive annual payments from 2009 through 2024. We have not recorded $1.5 million in potential future payments under this settlement as of December 31, 2021 due to the uncertainty of payment. We have arrangements with three of our executive officers pursuant to which the termination of their employment under certain circumstances would result in lump sum payments to them. Termination under such circumstances at December 31, 2021, could have resulted in payments aggregating $4.6 million. At December 31, 2021, the Company had lease obligations totaling $90 thousand with certain lessors for equipment and facilities. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Principles of Consolidation | The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Atrion Corporation and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior-year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation. |
Estimates | The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments | Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash deposits in the bank as well as money market funds and debt securities with maturities at the time of purchase of 90 days or less. Cash deposits in the bank include amounts in operating accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts. Our investments consist of corporate and government bonds, commercial paper, mutual funds, and equity securities. We classify our investment securities in one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. Securities that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at amortized cost and classified as held-to-maturity securities. We report our available-for-sale and trading securities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other investment income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Income We consider as current assets those investments which will mature in the next 12 months including interest receivable on long-term bonds. The remaining investments are considered non-current assets including our investment in equity securities which we intend to hold longer than 12 months. We periodically evaluate our investments for impairment. December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Cash and cash equivalents: Cash deposits $ 2,388 $ 16,628 Money market funds 29,876 4,822 Commercial paper - 1,000 Total cash and cash equivalents $ 32,264 $ 22,450 Short-term investments: Bonds (held-to-maturity) $ 26,831 $ 14,101 Commercial paper (held-to-maturity) 2,248 5,178 Allowance for credit losses (20 ) (21 ) Total short-term investments $ 29,059 $ 19,258 Long-term investments: Bonds (held-to-maturity) $ 13,405 $ 41,619 Equity securities (available for sale) 5,468 4,077 Mutual funds (available for sale) 559 563 Allowance for credit losses (9 ) (52 ) Total long-term investments $ 19,423 $ 46,207 Total cash, cash equivalents and short and long-term investments $ 80,746 $ 87,915 |
Account Receivables | Accounts receivable are recorded at the original sales price to the customer. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect estimated losses resulting from the failure of customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is updated periodically to reflect our estimate of collectability. Accounts are written off when we determine the receivable will not be collected. |
Inventories | Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (including materials, direct labor, and applicable overhead) or net realizable value. Cost is determined by using the first-in, first-out method. The following table details the major components of inventory (in thousands): December 31, 2021 2020 Raw materials $ 23,733 $ 20,308 Work in process 9,571 11,339 Finished goods 17,474 18,651 Total inventories $ 50,778 $ 50,298 |
Accounts Payable | We reflect disbursements as trade accounts payable until such time as payments are presented to our bank for payment. Disbursements totaling approximately $1.989 million at December 31, 2021 and $1.434 million at December 31, 2020, had not been presented for payment to our bank. |
Income Taxes | We account for income taxes utilizing Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 740), Income Taxes ASC 740 also requires the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes of income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return must be recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the provision for income taxes unless it is more-likely-than-not of being sustained. Any uncertain tax positions are recorded within “Other non-current liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We classify interest expense on underpayments of income taxes and accrued penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. We account for excess tax benefits (“windfalls”) and deficiencies (“shortfalls”) related to employee stock compensation as required by ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting We made quarterly payments in excess of federal and state income taxes due of approximately $345 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2021 and $1.525 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. These amounts were recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Additions and improvements are capitalized, including all material, labor, and engineering costs to design, install, or improve the asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The following table represents a summary of property, plant, and equipment at original cost (in thousands): December 31, Useful 2021 2020 Lives Land $ 5,511 $ 5,511 — Buildings 35,303 35,114 30-40 yrs. Machinery and equipment 192,403 178,287 3-15 yrs. Total property, plant and equipment $ 233,217 $ 218,912 Depreciation expense was $12.767 million in 2021, $11.533 million in 2020, and $10.733 million in 2019. Depreciation expense is recorded in either cost of goods sold or operating expenses based on the associated assets’ usage. |
Patents and Licenses | Costs for patents and licenses acquired are determined at acquisition date. Patents and licenses are amortized over the useful lives of the individual patents and licenses, which are from seven to 20 years. Patents and licenses are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. |
Goodwill | Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired. Annual impairment testing for goodwill is performed in the fourth quarter of each year using a qualitative assessment on goodwill impairment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the carrying value of our reporting units exceeds their fair value. If necessary, a two-step goodwill impairment analysis is performed. Goodwill is also reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a change in value may have occurred. We have identified three reporting units where goodwill was recorded for purposes of testing goodwill impairment annually: (1) Atrion Medical Products, Inc., (2) Halkey-Roberts Corporation, and (3) Quest Medical, Inc. The total carrying amount of goodwill in each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $9.730 million. Our evaluation of goodwill during each year resulted in no impairment losses. |
Current Accrued Liabilities | The items comprising current accrued liabilities are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2021 2020 Accrued payroll and related expenses $ 4,988 $ 5,588 Accrued vacation 387 344 Other accrued liabilities 555 633 Total accrued liabilities $ 5,930 $ 6,565 |
Revenues | We recognize revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. This occurs with the transfer of control of our products to customers when products are shipped. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring products or services. Sales and other taxes we may collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. We believe that our medical device business will benefit in the long term from an aging world population along with an increase in life expectancy. In the near term, however, demand for our products fluctuates based on our customers’ requirements which are driven in large part by their customers’ or patients’ needs for medical care which does not always follow broad economic trends. This affects the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenue. Also, changes in the value of the United States dollar relative to foreign currencies could make our products more or less affordable and therefore affect our sales in international markets. A summary of revenues by geographic area, based on shipping destination, for 2021, 2020, and 2019 is as follows (in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 United States $ 96,925 $ 85,682 $ 98,496 China 9,113 6,088 5,858 Germany 8,593 9,712 7,996 Other countries less than 5% of revenues 50,378 46,109 42,716 Total $ 165,009 $ 147,591 $ 155,066 A summary of revenues by product line for 2021, 2020 and 2019 is as follows (in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Fluid Delivery $ 77,753 $ 75,228 $ 72,117 Cardiovascular 56,919 48,524 54,799 Ophthalmology 6,332 4,700 7,124 Other 24,005 19,139 21,026 Total $ 165,009 $ 147,591 $ 155,066 More than 99 percent of our total revenue in the periods presented herein is pursuant to shipments initiated by a purchase order. Under the guidance from Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Our payment terms vary by the type and location of our customers and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is 30 days in most cases. For certain products or services and customer types, we require payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer. We evaluate the collectability of specific accounts and determine when to grant credit to our customers using a combination of factors, including the age of the outstanding balances, evaluation of customers’ current and past financial condition, recent payment history, current economic environment, and discussions with our personnel and with the customers directly. We apply these same factors and more when evaluating certain aged receivables for collectability issues and to determine changes necessary to our allowance for doubtful accounts. If circumstances change, our estimates of the collectability of amounts could be changed by a material amount. We have elected to recognize the cost for shipping as an expense in cost of sales when control over the product has transferred to the customer. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are reported as revenue. We do not make any material accruals for product returns and warranty obligations. Our manufactured products come with a standard warranty to be free from defect and, in the event of a defect, may be returned by the customer within a reasonable period of time. Historically, our returns have been unpredictable but very low due to our focus on quality control. A one-year warranty is provided with certain equipment sales but warranty claims and our accruals for these obligations have been minimal. We expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would be one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling expense. Atrion has contracts in place with customers for equipment leases, equipment financing, and equipment and other services. These contracts represent less than four percent of our total revenue in all periods presented herein. A portion of these contracts contain multiple performance obligations including embedded leases. For such arrangements, we historically allocated revenue to each performance obligation which is capable of being distinct and accounted for as a separate performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices. We generally determine standalone selling prices based on observable inputs, primarily the prices charged to customers. Beginning July 1, 2018, for agreements with an embedded lease component we adopted the practical expedient in ASU 2018-11 Leases: Targeted Improvements Our fixed monthly equipment rentals to customers are accounted for as operating leases under ASU 2016-02, Leases A limited number of our contracts have variable consideration including tiered pricing and rebates which we monitor closely for potential constraints on revenue. For these contracts we estimate our position quarterly using the most-likely-outcome method, including customer-provided forecasts and historical buying patterns, and we accrue for any asset or liability these arrangements may create. The effect of accruals for variable consideration on our consolidated financial statements is immaterial. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount which we have the right to invoice. We believe that the complexity added to our disclosures by the inclusion of a large amount of insignificant detail in attempting to disclose information under ASC 606 about immaterial contracts would potentially obscure more useful and important information. |
Leases to Customers | The lease assets from our sales type leases are recorded in our accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and the balance totaled $470 thousand as of December 31, 2021 and $315 thousand as of December 31, 2020. Our equipment treated as leases to customers under ASC 842 is included in our Property, Plant, and Equipment on our consolidated balance sheets. After our adoption of ASU 2018-11, the cost of the assets and associated depreciation that remain under lease agreements is immaterial. Due to the immaterial amount of revenue from our lessor activity, all other lessor disclosures under ASC 842 have been omitted. |
Leased Property and Equipment | As a lessee, we have three leases in total for equipment and facilities used internally, which we account for as operating leases. At December 31, 2021, our right-of-use asset balance was $98 thousand and our lease liability at December 31, 2021 for these leases was $90 thousand. The monthly expense of $35 thousand for these operating leases, which are our only lessee arrangements, is immaterial and therefore all other lessee disclosures under ASC 842 have been omitted. |
Research and Development Costs | Research and Development, or R&D, costs relating to the development of new products and improvements of existing products are expensed as incurred. |
Stock-Based Compensation | We have a stock-based compensation plan covering certain of our officers, directors, key employees, and non-physician consultants. As explained in detail in Note 8, we account for stock-based compensation utilizing the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, |
Liability-classified awards | The Company classifies certain awards that can or will be settled in cash as liability awards. The fair value of a liability-classified award is determined on a quarterly basis beginning at the grant date until final vesting. Changes in the fair value of liability-classified awards are recorded to general and administrative expense over the vesting period of the award. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | From time to time new accounting pronouncements applicable to us are issued by the FASB, or other standards setting bodies, which we adopt as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption. |
Fair Value Measurements | Accounting standards use a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we held investments in commercial paper, bonds, money market funds, mutual funds, and equity securities that are required to be measured for disclosure purposes at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values of these investments and their tier levels are shown in Note 2. The carrying values of our other financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and accrued income and other taxes approximated fair value due to their liquid and short-term nature. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. Our cash deposits are held in accounts with financial institutions that we believe are creditworthy. Certain of these amounts at times may exceed federally-insured limits. At December 31, 2021, approximately 98 percent of our cash deposits were uninsured. We have not experienced any credit losses in such accounts and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on these funds. We have investments in money market funds, bonds, and commercial paper. As a result, we are exposed to potential loss from market risks that may occur as a result of changes in interest rates, changes in credit quality of the issuer, and otherwise. These securities have a higher degree of, and a greater exposure to, credit or default risk and may be less liquid in times of economic weakness or market disruptions as compared with cash deposits. For accounts receivable, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral. We maintain reserves for possible credit losses. We had allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $69 thousand at December 31, 2021 and $41 thousand, at December 31, 2020. The carrying amount of the receivables approximates their fair value. We had one customer which accounted for 11% of our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021 and two customers which accounted for 12% each of our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020. |
