| Organization and Nature of Business; Basis of Presentation; Principles of Consolidation; Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS; BASIS OF PRESENTATION; PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION; SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc. (“we” or “us” or “our” or “Accelerate” or the “Company”) is an in vitro diagnostics company dedicated to providing solutions that improve patient outcomes and lower healthcare costs through the rapid diagnosis of serious infections. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures such as notes required by U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the entire year ending December 31, 2022, or any future period. All amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise indicated. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements Background on the restatement The Company’s previously issued interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 classified its 2.50% Senior Convertible Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) as a non-current liability with a net carrying amount of $56.3 million as of September 30, 2022. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 210-10-45, Balance Sheet, the Notes should have been classified as a current liability in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2022. In addition, the Company recorded an adjustment to correct a previously identified immaterial error related to the Company’s warranty obligations as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Effect of the restatement The effects of the correction of the prior-period misstatements on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet relating to the Notes are reflected in the table below (in thousands). The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity were also corrected for the other previously identified immaterial error as reflected in the tables below (in thousands). September 30, 2022 As Previously Reported Adjustments As Restated Accrued liabilities 4,300 191 4,491 Current portion of convertible notes — 56,325 56,325 Total current liabilities 9,568 56,516 66,084 Convertible notes 56,325 (56,325) — Total liabilities 85,644 191 85,835 Accumulated deficit ending balance (592,439) (191) (592,630) Total stockholders’ deficit ending balance (9,797) (191) (9,988) Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 As Previously Reported Adjustments As Restated Cost of sales 2,190 191 2,381 Gross profit 770 (191) 579 Loss from operations (14,770) (191) (14,961) Net loss before income taxes (15,705) (191) (15,896) Net loss (15,705) (191) (15,896) Comprehensive loss (15,518) (191) (15,709) Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 As Previously Reported Adjustments As Restated Cost of sales 7,127 191 7,318 Gross profit 2,653 (191) 2,462 Loss from operations (48,654) (191) (48,845) Net loss before income taxes (47,693) (191) (47,884) Net loss (47,693) (191) (47,884) Comprehensive loss (47,878) (191) (48,069) Total net cash used in operating activities was not impacted by the error corrections. In addition to correcting the consolidated financial statements, related revisions and updates have been made to “Liquidity & Going Concern (As Restated)”, Warranty Reserve (As Restated) and Note 10, Convertible Notes (As Restated). Liquidity & Going Concern (As Restated) Since inception, the Company has not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flows from operations. The Company’s accumulated deficit totaled $592.6 million as of September 30, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had net losses of approximately $15.9 million and $47.9 million, respectively, and had negative cash flows from operations of approximately $39.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to successfully commercialize its products, obtain regulatory clearance for and successfully launch its future product candidates, obtain additional capital and ultimately attain profitable operations. Historically, the Company has funded its operations primarily through multiple equity raises and the issuance of debt (see Note 9, Long-Term Debt, Note 10, Convertible Notes and Note 18, Stockholders' Equity for additional details). At September 30, 2022, the Company held cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $55.4 million and current liabilities of $66.1 million, including $56.3 million of Notes due on March 15, 2023. Based on its evaluation pursuant to ASC 205-40, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, the Company has determined that, as of the date of this Form 10-Q/A filing, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, as the Company does not currently have adequate financial resources to pay its outstanding debt obligation under the Notes and to fund its forecasted operating costs for at least twelve months from the filing of this Form 10-Q/A. While the Company continues to explore additional funding in the form of potential equity and/or debt financing arrangements or similar transactions, as well as non-cash means to settle or refinance the Notes, there can be no assurance the necessary financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company raises funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to stockholders may result. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of common stock. If the Company raises funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities would have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of preferred and common stockholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations. Similarly, there can be no assurance that market conditions and refinancing alternatives will be sufficient to settle or refinance the Notes on or prior to their maturity on March 15, 2023. The capital markets have in the past, and may in the future, experience periods of upheaval that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing. In addition, recent and anticipated future increases in federal fund rates set by the Federal Reserve, which serve as benchmark rates on borrowing, and other general economic conditions may impact the cost of debt financing or refinancing existing debt. Although we are actively considering all available strategic alternatives to maximize value, if we are unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations and address the upcoming maturity of the Notes, we would not be able to continue to operate our business pursuant to our current plans. This may require us to, among other things, materially modify our operations to reduce spending; sell assets or operations; delay the implementation of, or revising certain aspects of, our business strategy; file a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in order to implement a restructuring; or discontinue our operations entirely. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, accrued liabilities, warranty liabilities, convertible notes, notes from related parties, tax valuation accounts, equity–based compensation, warrants, revenue and leases. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which has defined fair value and requires the Company to establish a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value. The framework requires the valuation of assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements using a three-tiered approach and fair value measurement be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: • Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; • Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; • Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity). The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities approximate the related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. See Note 4, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for further information and related disclosures regarding the Company’s fair value measurements. The estimated fair value of the Notes represents a Level 2 measurement. See Note 10, Convertible Notes for further detail on the Notes. The long-term debt with a related-party consisting of the Secured Note (as defined in Note 11) and the Warrant are instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. See Note 11, Long-Term Debt Related-Party for further detail on the Secured Note and the Warrant. Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include overnight repurchase agreement accounts and other investments. As part of our cash management process, excess operating cash is invested in overnight repurchase agreements with our bank. Repurchase agreements and other investments classified as cash and cash equivalents are not deposits and are not insured by the U.S. Government, the FDIC or any other government agency and involve investment risk including possible loss of principal. We believe however, that the market risk arising from holding these financial instruments is minimal. Investments The Company invests in various debt and equity securities which are primarily held in the custody of major financial institutions. Debt securities consist of certificates of deposit, U.S. government and agency securities, commercial paper, and corporate notes and bonds. Equity securities consist of mutual funds. The Company records these investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses for debt securities available-for-sale are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ deficit. Unrealized gains or losses for equity securities are included in other income (expense), net, a component of condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company considers all debt securities available-for-sale, including those with maturity dates beyond 12 months, as available to support current operational liquidity needs. The Company classifies its investments as current based on the nature of the investments and their availability for use in current operations. We perform an assessment to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances to indicate that a debt security available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position has suffered impairment as a result of credit loss or other factors. A debt security is considered impaired if its fair value is less than its amortized cost basis at the reporting date. If we intend to sell the debt security or if it is more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the impairment is recognized and the unrealized loss is recorded as a direct write-down of the security's amortized cost basis with an offsetting entry to earnings. If we do not intend to sell the debt security or believe we will not be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the impairment is assessed to determine if a credit loss component exists. We use a discounted cash flow method to determine the credit loss component. In the event a credit loss exists, an allowance for credit losses is recorded in earnings for the credit loss component of the impairment while the remaining portion of the impairment attributable to factors other than credit loss is recognized, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The amount of impairment recognized due to credit factors is limited to the excess of the amortized cost basis over the fair value of the security. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company determines the cost of inventory using the first-in, first-out method. The Company estimates the recoverability of inventory by reference to internal estimates of future demands and product life cycles, including expiration. The Company periodically analyzes its inventory levels to identify inventory that may expire prior to expected sale or has a cost basis in excess of its estimated realizable value and records a charge to expense for such inventory as appropriate. We charge cost of sales for inventory provisions to write-down our inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value or for obsolete or excess inventory. Most of our inventory provisions relate to excess quantities of products, based on our inventory levels and future product purchase commitments compared to assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Once inventory has been written-off or written-down, it creates a new cost basis for the inventory that is not subsequently written-up. See Note 6, Inventory, for further information and related disclosures. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of amounts due to the Company for sales to customers and are based on what we expect to collect in exchange for goods and services. Receivables are considered past due based on the contractual payment terms and are written off if reasonable collection efforts prove unsuccessful. We maintain an allowance for credit losses for expected uncollectible accounts receivable, which is recorded as an offset to accounts receivable and changes in such are classified as general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. We assess collectibility by reviewing accounts receivable on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist and on an individual basis when we identify specific customers with known disputes or collectibility issues. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, we consider historical collectibility and make judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on credit evaluations. Our customers typically have good credit quality. We also consider customer-specific information, current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to inform adjustments to historical loss data. The allowance for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is comprised of the following (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Beginning balance $ 150 $ 213 140 445 (Reversals) provisions, net (12) 78 18 114 Write-offs — (77) (20) (345) $ 138 $ 214 $ 138 $ 214 The write-offs recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were in connection with a one-time restructuring activity of the Company's Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) business. These credit losses were incurred as part of the Company terminating agreements with select distributors in geographies it exited and did not pursue collection of these accounts receivables. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and expenditures for major improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses from retirement or replacement are included in costs and expenses. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, ranging from one Instruments Classified as Property and Equipment Property and equipment includes Accelerate Pheno systems (also referred to as instruments) used for sales demonstrations, instruments under rental agreements and instruments used for research and development. Depreciation expense for instruments used for sales demonstrations is recorded as a component of sales, general and administrative expense. Depreciation expense for instruments placed at customer sites pursuant to reagent rental agreements is recorded as a component of cost of sales. Depreciation expense for instruments used in our laboratory and research is recorded as a component of research and development expense. The Company retains title to these instruments and depreciates them over five years. Losses from the retirement of returned instruments are included in costs and expenses. The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of its instruments whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, and at least annually. This evaluation is based on our estimate of future cash flows and the estimated fair value of such long-lived assets, and provides for impairment if such undiscounted cash flows or the estimated fair value are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of instruments. No impairment charges have been recorded as of for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 7, Property and Equipment, for further information and related disclosures. Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company continuously evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets based on estimated future cash flows from and the estimated fair value of such long-lived assets, and provides for impairment if such undiscounted cash flows or the estimated fair value are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. Warranty Reserve (As Restated) Instruments are typically sold with a one year limited warranty, while kits and accessories are typically sold with a sixty days limited warranty. Accordingly, a provision for the estimated cost of the limited warranty repair is recorded at the time revenue is recognized. Our estimated warranty provision is based on our estimate of future repair events and the related estimated cost of repairs. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of the warranty reserve and adjusts the amount as necessary. The cost incurred for these provisions is included in cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Warranty reserve activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 As Restated As Restated Beginning balance $ 255 $ 169 $ 139 $ 232 Provisions (reversals), net 187 (31) 325 (41) Warranty cost incurred (29) (17) (51) (70) Ending balance $ 413 $ 121 $ 413 $ 121 Convertible Notes On January 1, 2022 the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). As a result, the Notes are now accounted for as a single liability measured at their amortized cost. The Notes are no longer bifurcated between debt and equity and are instead accounted for entirely as debt at face value net of any discount or premium and issuance costs. Interest expense is comprised of (1) cash interest payments, (2) amortization of any debt discounts or premiums based on the original offering, and (3) amortization of any debt issuance costs. Gain or loss on extinguishment of Notes is calculated as the difference between the (i) fair value of the consideration transferred and (ii) the sum of the carrying value of the debt at the time of repurchase. See Note 2, Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Note 10, Convertible Notes, for further information and related disclosures. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised good or service is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Sales taxes are excluded from revenues. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: • Identification of the contract with a customer • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract • Determination of the transaction price • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations • Recognition of revenue as we satisfy a performance obligation Product revenue is derived from the sale or rental of instruments and sales of related consumable products. When an instrument is sold, revenue is generally recognized upon installation of the unit consistent with contract terms, which do not include a right of return. When a consumable product is sold, revenue is generally recognized upon shipment. Invoices are generally issued when revenue is recognized. Payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. Service revenue is derived from the sale of extended service agreements which are generally non-cancellable. This revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term beginning on the effective date of the contract because the Company is standing ready to provide services. Invoices are generally issued annually and coincide with the beginning of individual service terms. The Company’s contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company generally determines relative standalone selling prices based on the price charged to customers for each individual performance obligation. Sales commissions earned by the Company’s sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. The Company has determined these costs would have an amortization period of less than one year and has elected to recognize them as an expense when incurred. Contract asset opening and closing balances were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Gross Profit and Gross Margin Gross profit consists of total revenue, net of allowances, less cost of sales. Cost of sales includes cost of materials, direct labor, equity-based compensation, facility and other manufacturing overhead costs for consumable tests and instruments sold to customers. Cost of sales for instruments also includes depreciation on revenue generating instruments that have been placed with our customers under a reagent rental agreement. Cost of sales includes repair and maintenance cost for instruments covered by a service agreement or instruments covered by a reagent rental agreement. Cost of sales also includes warranty related costs. The Company’s overall gross margin was 20% and 32% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 25% and 35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decreases were primarily due to increases in the costs to manufacture consumables due to supply chain inflationary factors and a decrease in our average unit sales price period over period. Shipping and Handling Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included as a component of revenue. The corresponding expense incurred with third party carriers is included as a component of sales, general and administrative costs on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Leases The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease and the type of lease at inception. The Company classifies leases as finance leases (lessee) or sales-type leases (lessor) when there is either a transfer of ownership of the underlying asset by the end of the lease term, the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that we are reasonably certain will be exercised, the lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the asset, the present value of the lease payments and any residual value guarantee equals or substantially exceeds all the fair value of the asset, or the asset is of such a specialized nature that it will have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. Payments contingent on future events (i.e. based on usage) are considered variable and excluded from lease payments for the purposes of classification and initial measurement. Several of our leases include options to renew or extend the term upon mutual agreement of the parties and others include one-year extensions exercisable by the lessee. None of our leases contain residual value guarantees, restrictions, or covenants. To determine whether a contract contains a lease, the Company uses its judgment in assessing whether the lessor retains a material amount of economic benefit from an underlying asset, whether explicitly or implicitly identified, which party holds control over the direction and use of the asset, and whether any substantive substitution rights over the asset exist. Leases as Lessee Operating leases are included in right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities, and finance leases are included in ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and their related liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Typically, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. ROU assets are net of lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Our operating leases consist primarily of leased office, factory, and laboratory space in the U.S. and office space in Europe, have between two Leases as Lessor The Company leases instruments to customers under “reagent rental” agreements, whereby the customer agrees to purchase consumable products over a stated term, typically five years or less, for a volume-based price that includes an embedded rental for the instruments. When collectibility is probable, that amount is recognized as income at lease commencement for sales-type leases and as product is shipped, typically in a straight–line pattern, over the term for operating leases, which typically include a termination without cause or penalty provision given a short notice period. Consideration is allocated between lease and non-lease components based on stand-alone selling price in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Net investment in sales-type leases are included within our condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of other current assets and other non-current assets, which include the present value of lease payments not yet received and the present value of the residual asset, which are determined using the information available at commencement, including the lease term, estimated useful life, rate implicit in the lease, and expected fair value of the instrument. Nonqualified Cash Deferral Plan The Company's Cash Deferral Plan (the “Deferral Plan”) provides certain key employees with an opportunity to defer the receipt of such participant's base salary. The Deferral Plan is intended to be a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that complies with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. All of the investments held in the Deferral Plan are equity securities consisting of mutual funds and recorded at fair value with changes in the investments’ fair value recognized as earnings in the period they occur. The corresponding liability for the Deferral Plan is included in other non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Equity-Based Compensation The Company may award stock options, RSUs, performance-based awards and other equity-based instruments to its employees, directors and consultants. Compensation cost related to equity-based instruments is based on the fair value of the instrument on the grant date, and is recognized over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for each tranche (an accelerated attribution method) except for performance-based awards. Performance-based awards vest based on the achievement of performance targets. Compensation costs associated with performance-based awards are recognized over the requisite service period based on probability of achievement. Performance-based awards require management to make assumptions regarding the likelihood of achieving performance targets. The Company estimates the fair value of service based and performance based stock option awards, including modifications of stock option awards, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model derives the fair value of stock options based on certain assumptions related to expected stock price volatility, expected option life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. • Volatility: The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock price over the most recent period commensurate with the expected term of the stock option award. • Expected term: The estimated exp |
