Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of Business - (b) Principles of Consolidation - (c) Use of Estimates - (d) Foreign Currency Translation (e) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments - Our investment portfolio includes the following components: September 30, 2016 September 30, 2015 Cash and Other Cash and Other Overnight repurchase agreements $ 9,988 $ — $ 25,436 $ — Institutional money market funds 10,020 — — — Cash on hand – Restricted — 1,000 — 1,000 Unrestricted 27,218 — 24,537 — Total $ 47,226 $ 1,000 $ 49,973 $ 1,000 (f) Inventories illumi gene illumi gene We establish reserves against cost for excess and obsolete materials, finished goods whose shelf life may expire before sale to customers, and other identified exposures. Such reserves were $2,680 and $2,456 at September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We estimate these reserves based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual demand and market conditions were to be less favorable than such estimates, additional inventory write-downs would be required and recorded in the period known. Such adjustments would negatively affect gross profit margin and overall results of operations. (g) Property, Plant and Equipment Buildings and improvements - 18 to 40 years Machinery, equipment and furniture - 3 to 10 years Computer equipment and software - 3 to 5 years (h) Intangible Assets - During fiscal 2016, the annual impairment review for our Americas Diagnostics reporting unit consisted of a qualitative assessment. A qualitative assessment is first performed to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value using qualitative indicators. In the event that the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value, with fair value of the reporting unit estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. Our Americas Diagnostics reporting unit satisfied the qualitative assessment for fiscal 2016. For each of our Bioline and Life Science-U.S. reporting units, we performed a quantitative assessment in order to determine if impairment existed. As part of this assessment, fair value, as determined through a valuation performed by a third party, was calculated via both market (comparable company) and income (discounted cash flows) approaches. Based upon these approaches, as well as an average of the two, the fair values of each reporting unit exceeded their carrying values; therefore, both the Bioline and Life Science-U.S. reporting units satisfied the quantitative assessment for fiscal 2016. The goodwill held by our Magellan reporting unit was recorded at estimated fair value as part of the March 24, 2016 acquisition (see Note 2) and no events have occurred since that date that would indicate the existence of an impairment. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. We have no intangible assets with indefinite lives other than goodwill. There have been no impairments from the analyses performed for fiscal 2016, 2015 or 2014. During fiscal 2016, goodwill increased $39,633, reflecting $41,358 from the acquisition of Magellan (Diagnostics operating segment; see Note 2) and a $1,725 decrease from the currency translation adjustment on the goodwill of the Life Science segment’s Bioline Group. The decrease of $844 in fiscal 2015 solely reflects the effect of the Bioline Group and the currency translation adjustments thereon. A summary of Meridian’s acquired intangible assets subject to amortization, as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows: 2016 2015 As of September 30, Gross Accum. Gross Accum. Manufacturing technologies, core products and cell lines $ 21,921 $ 11,540 $ 11,582 $ 10,906 Trade names, licenses and patents 9,037 3,947 6,410 3,296 Customer lists, customer relationships and supply agreeements 24,385 10,511 12,105 9,964 Non-compete agreements 680 170 — — $ 56,023 $ 26,168 $ 30,097 $ 24,166 The actual aggregate amortization expense for these intangible assets for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $2,690, $1,748 and $2,039, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for these intangible assets for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows: fiscal 2017 - $3,671, fiscal 2018 - $3,480, fiscal 2019 - $3,269, fiscal 2020 - $3,107 and fiscal 2021 - $2,510. Long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that such assets may not be recoverable at their carrying value. Whether an event or circumstance triggers an impairment is determined by comparing an estimate of the asset’s future undiscounted cash flows to its carrying value. If impairment has occurred, it is measured by a fair-value based calculation. Our ability to recover the carrying value of our intangible assets, both identifiable intangibles and goodwill, is dependent upon the future cash flows of the related acquired businesses and assets. We make judgments and assumptions regarding future cash flows, including sales levels, gross profit margins, operating expense levels, working capital levels, and capital expenditures. With respect to identifiable intangibles and fixed assets, we also make judgments and assumptions regarding useful lives. We consider the following factors in evaluating events and circumstances for possible impairment: (i) significant under-performance relative to historical or projected operating results; (ii) negative industry trends; (iii) sales levels of specific groups of products (related to specific identifiable intangibles); (iv) changes in overall business strategies; and (v) other factors. If actual cash flows are less favorable than projections, this could trigger impairment of intangible assets and other long-lived assets. If impairment were to occur, this would negatively affect overall results of operations. No triggering events have been identified by the Company for fiscal 2016, 2015 or 2014. (i) Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Revenue for our Diagnostics segment includes revenue for our illumi gene We evaluate whether each deliverable in the arrangement is a separate unit of accounting. The significant deliverables are an instrument, instrument accessories (e.g., printer) and test kits. An instrument and instrument accessories are delivered to the customer prior to the start of the customer utilization period in order to accommodate customer set-up and installation. There is de minimis illumi gene In markets where the test system is not sold via multiple deliverable arrangements, the cost of the instrument and instrument accessories is charged to cost of sales at the time of shipment and transfer of title to the customer. Revenue for the sales of instruments and instrument accessories and test kits is recognized upon shipment and transfer of title to the customers. In these markets, our illumi gene Our products are generally not subject to a customer right of return except for product recall events under the rules and regulations of the Food and Drug Administration or equivalent agencies outside the United States. In this circumstance, the costs to replace affected products would be accrued at the time a loss was probable and estimable. Trade accounts receivable are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at invoiced amounts less provisions for distributor price adjustments under local contracts and doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our estimate of probable credit losses and is based on historical write-off experience and known conditions that would likely lead to non-payment. The allowance for doubtful accounts and related metrics, such as days’ sales outstanding, are reviewed monthly. Accounts with past due balances over 90 days are reviewed individually for collectibility. Customer invoices are charged off against the allowance when we believe it is probable that the invoices will not be paid. (j) Research and Development Costs (k) Income Taxes We account for uncertain tax positions using a benefit recognition model with a two-step approach: (i) a more-likely-than-not recognition criterion; and (ii) a measurement attribute that measures the position as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being ultimately realized upon ultimate settlement. If it is not more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on its technical merits, no benefit is recorded. We recognize accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a portion of our income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 5.

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Magellan Acquisition | (2) Magellan Acquisition On March 24, 2016, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Magellan Biosciences, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary Magellan Diagnostics, Inc. (collectively, “Magellan”), for $67,874, utilizing the proceeds from a new $60,000 five-year term loan and cash and equivalents on hand. An amount of the acquisition consideration totaling $2,383 remains payable to the sellers, pending the realization of tax benefits for certain net operating loss carryforwards in future tax returns. Headquartered near Boston, Massachusetts, Magellan is a leading manufacturer of FDA-cleared products for the testing of blood to diagnose lead poisoning in children and adults. Magellan is the leading provider of point-of-care lead testing systems in the U.S. As a result of the consideration paid exceeding the preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired, goodwill in the amount of $41,358 was recorded in connection with this acquisition, none of which will be deductible for tax purposes. This goodwill results largely from the addition of Magellan’s complementary customer base and distribution channels, industry reputation in the U.S. as a leader in lead testing, and management talent and workforce. Our fiscal 2016 Consolidated Statement of Operations includes $1,105 of acquisition-related costs related to the Magellan acquisition, which are reflected as Operating Expenses. In addition to Magellan’s results of operations, which are included in our fiscal 2016 Consolidated Statement of Operations and reported as part of the Diagnostics operating segment, the consolidated results for fiscal 2016 also include: (i) $181 of cost of sales related to the roll-out of fair value inventory adjustments for sales of products that were in Magellan’s inventory on the date of acquisition and, therefore, were valued at fair value, rather than manufactured cost, in the opening balance sheet; and (ii) $1,337 of general and administrative expenses related to the depreciation of the fair value adjustment to acquired property, plant and equipment, and the amortization of specific identifiable intangible assets recorded on the opening balance sheet including customer relationships, technology, non-compete agreements, and trade names. The Company’s fiscal 2016 consolidated results include net revenues and net earnings of Magellan totaling $10,034 and $848, respectively, reflecting the items noted above but excluding interest expense on the debt secured by Meridian in connection with the transaction. The recognized preliminary amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Magellan are as follows: PRELIMINARY March 24, 2016 Measurement March 24, (as initially Period 2016 reported) Adjustments (as adjusted) Fair value of assets acquired - Cash and equivalents $ 3,400 $ — $ 3,400 Accounts receivable 1,700 — 1,700 Inventories 1,400 — 1,400 Other current assets 300 — 300 Property, plant and equipment 2,800 (200 ) 2,600 Goodwill 42,800 (1,400 ) 41,400 Other intangible assets (estimated useful life): Customer relationships (15 years) 12,600 200 12,800 Technology (10 years) 10,600 — 10,600 Non-compete agreements (2 years) 700 — 700 Trade names (approximate 9 year weighted average) 3,700 (800 ) 2,900 80,000 (2,200 ) 77,800 Fair value of liabilities assumed - Accounts payable and accrued expenses 1,600 100 1,700 Deferred income tax liabilities 10,600 (2,400 ) 8,200 Total consideration paid (including $2,400 accrued to be paid) $ 67,800 $ 100 $ 67,900 As indicated, the allocation of the purchase price and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets shown remain preliminary, pending final completion of valuations. We are currently assessing the amount of tax net operating loss carryforwards available to us. Upon completion of this analysis, an amount will be reclassified from goodwill to deferred taxes. The consolidated pro forma results of the combined entities of Meridian and Magellan, had the acquisition date been October 1, 2014, are as follows for the periods indicated: (UNAUDITED) Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2016 2015 Net Revenues $ 203,720 $ 211,250 Net Earnings $ 32,675 $ 34,182 These pro forma amounts have been calculated by including the results of Magellan, and adjusting the combined results to give effect to the following, as if the acquisition had been consummated on October 1, 2014, together with the consequential tax effects thereon: (i) remove the effect of transaction costs incurred by the Company ($1,105); (ii) reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged in connection with the preliminary fair value adjustments to inventory, property, plant and equipment, and identifiable intangible assets ($800 and $2,885 in fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, repectively); (iii) reflect equity-based awards granted under the Company’s 2012 Stock Incentive Plan to certain Magellan employees in accordance with executed employee agreements, and to certain Meridian employees to reward them for their efforts in connection with the transaction ($250 in fiscal 2015); and (iv) reflect the interest expense that would have been incurred on the Company’s $60,000 term note ($690 and $1,685 in fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, respectively). |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Bank Credit Arrangements | (4) Bank Credit Arrangements In connection with the acquisition of Magellan (see Note 2), on March 22, 2016 the Company entered into a $60,000 five-year term loan with a commercial bank. The term loan requires quarterly principal and interest payments, with interest at a variable rate tied to LIBOR, and a balloon principal payment at the end of five years. The required principal payments on the term loan for each of the five succeeding fiscal years are as follows: fiscal 2017 - $3,750, fiscal 2018 - $4,500, fiscal 2019 - $5,250, fiscal 2020 - $6,000, and fiscal 2021 - $39,000. Due to the recent execution date of the term loan and interest being determined on a variable rate basis, the fair value of the term loan at September 30, 2016 approximates the current carrying value reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. In order to limit exposure to volatility in the LIBOR interest rate, the Company and the commercial bank also entered into an interest rate swap that effectively converts the variable interest rate on the term loan to a fixed rate of 2.76%. With an initial notional balance of $60,000, the interest rate swap has been established with critical terms identical to those of the term loan, including (i) notional reduction amounts and dates; (ii) LIBOR settlement rates; (iii) rate reset dates; and (iv) term/maturity. Due to this, the interest swap has been designated as an effective cash flow hedge, with changes in fair value reflected as a separate component of other comprehensive income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2016, the fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability of $729, and is reflected as a non-current liability in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. This fair value was determined by reference to a third party valuation, and is considered a Level 2 input within the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques. In addition, the Company continues to maintain a $30,000 revolving credit facility with a commercial bank, which expires March 31, 2021. As there were no borrowings outstanding on this revolving credit facility at September 30, 2016 or September 30, 2015, available borrowings as of both dates totaled $30,000. The term loan and revolving credit facility are collateralized by the business assets of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and require compliance with financial covenants that limit the amount of debt obligations and require a minimum level of coverage of fixed charges, as defined in the borrowing agreement. As of September 30, 2016, the Company is in compliance with all covenants. The Company is also required to maintain a cash compensating balance with the bank in the amount of $1,000, pursuant to this bank revolving credit facility and is in compliance with this requirement. |

At September 30, 2015, such deferred tax assets totaled $590. The operating loss carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions have no expiration date. The operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. expire between 2023 and 2036 at the federal level, and between 2028 and 2036 at the state level. The aggregate amount of federal, state and foreign operating loss carryforwards total $4,956, $3,981 and $836, respectively, at September 30, 2016. The use of the federal and state losses is limited by the change of ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the applicable jurisdictions. We have considered the levels of currently anticipated pre-tax income in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions in assessing the required level of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance including the characterization of the income as ordinary or capital. Taking into consideration historical and current operating results, and other factors, we believe that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset of $9,543 will be realized. The amount of the net deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in future years if estimates of future taxable income are reduced. Undistributed earnings reinvested indefinitely in our non-U.S. operations were approximately $10,000 at both September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015. U.S. deferred tax liabilities of approximately $2,000 and $1,800 on such earnings, after consideration of foreign tax credits, have not been recorded as of September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively. As described in Note 1, we utilize a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions, assuming full knowledge of all relevant facts by the applicable tax authorities. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 related to such positions was $502 and $238, respectively, of which the full amounts would favorably affect the effective tax rate if recognized. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of our income tax provision. During fiscal 2016, we increased our tax provision by approximately $8 for such penalties and interest, and recorded approximately $85 to the opening balance sheet of Magellan. During fiscal 2015, we decreased our tax provision by approximately $19 for such penalties and interest. We had approximately $130 accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at September 30, 2016 compared to $37 accrued at September 30, 2015. The amount of our liability for uncertain tax positions expected to be paid or settled in the next 12 months is uncertain. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: 2016 2015 Unrecognized income tax benefits beginning of year $ 238 $ 316 Additions for tax positions of prior years 264 9 Reductions for tax positions of prior years — (28 ) Tax examination and other settlements — (59 ) Unrecognized income tax benefits at end of year $ 502 $ 238 We are subject to examination by the tax authorities in the U.S. (both federal and state) and the countries of Australia, Belgium, China, England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy and Singapore. In the U.S., open tax years are fiscal 2013, fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015. In countries outside the U.S., open tax years generally range from fiscal 2011 and forward. However, in Australia, Belgium and Singapore, the utilization of local net operating loss carryforwards extends the statute of limitations for examination well into the foreseeable future. |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Employee Benefits | (6) Employee Benefits (a) Savings and Investment Plan (b) Stock-Based Compensation Plans Each of the 2004 Plan and 2012 Plan authorized the granting of new shares for options, restricted shares or restricted share units for up to 3,000 shares, with the non-granted portion of the 2004 Plan permitted to be carried forward and added to the 2012 Plan authorized limit. As of September 30, 2016, we have granted 1,492 and 1,241 shares under the 2004 Plan and 2012 Plan, respectively, thereby resulting in a remaining authorized limit of 3,267 shares. Options may be granted at exercise prices not less than 100% of the closing market value of the underlying common shares on the date of grant and have maximum terms up to ten years. Vesting schedules for options, restricted shares and restricted share units are established at the time of grant and may be set based on future service periods, achievement of performance targets or a combination thereof. All options contain provisions restricting their transferability and limiting their exercise in the event of termination of employment or the disability or death of the optionee. We recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments made to employees, based upon the fair value of the share-based payment on the date of the grant. During fiscal 2014, we granted approximately 270 restricted share units (with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $24.82 per share) to certain employees, generally with half of each employee’s grant being time-vested restricted share units vesting in total on the fourth anniversary of the grant date, and the remaining half being subject to attainment of a specified earnings target for fiscal 2014. While dividend equivalents were paid on these units throughout fiscal 2014, the target for fiscal 2014 was not met and, with the exception of these awards being held by our Executive Chairman at the time of his death in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the performance-based portion of the restricted share units granted during fiscal 2014 were cancelled. During fiscal 2015, we granted approximately 270 restricted share units (with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $17.91 per share) to certain employees, generally with half of each employee’s grant being time-vested restricted share units vesting in total on the fourth anniversary of the grant date, and the remaining half being subject to attainment of a specified earnings target for fiscal 2015. While dividend equivalents were paid on these units throughout fiscal 2015, the target for fiscal 2015 was not met and the performance-based portion of these restricted share units granted during fiscal 2015 were cancelled. Additionally, during fiscal 2015 in connection with the extension of an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, we granted to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (i) 25 restricted share units (with a grant date fair value of $16.50 per share) to be earned only if specified revenue and earnings per share targets were achieved for fiscal 2015; and (ii) 100 time-vested options (with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $3.73 per share, as included in the options table below), with half vesting September 30, 2015 and half vesting September 30, 2016. As a result of the fiscal 2015 performance targets being achieved, the restricted share units have been earned and the related compensation expense recorded in fiscal 2015. Similar to previous years, during fiscal 2016, we granted approximately 370 restricted share units (with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $19.38 per share) to certain employees, generally with half of each employee’s grant being time-vested restricted share units vesting in total on the fourth anniversary of the grant date, and the remaining half being subject to attainment of a specified earnings target for fiscal 2016. While dividend equivalents were paid on these units throughout fiscal 2016, the target for fiscal 2016 was not met and the performance-based portion of these restricted share units granted during fiscal 2016 have been cancelled. Additionally, during fiscal 2016 in connection with the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement described above, we granted to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, 25 restricted share units (with a grant date fair value of $17.03 per share) to be earned only if specified revenue and earnings per share targets were achieved for fiscal 2016. As a result of the fiscal 2016 performance targets not being achieved, the restricted share units have been cancelled. Giving effect to these grants, cancellations and certain other activities for restricted shares and restricted share units throughout the years, including conversions to common shares, forfeitures, and new hire and employee promotion grants, approximately 460 restricted share units remain outstanding as of September 30, 2016, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $20.17 per share, a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.89 years and an aggregate intrinsic value of $8,867. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the approximate 116 restricted share units that vested during fiscal 2016 was $17.38 per share. The amount of stock-based compensation expense reported was $2,911, $3,324 and $3,557 in fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The fiscal 2016 expense is comprised of $560 related to stock options and $2,351 related to restricted shares and units; the fiscal 2015 expense is comprised of $591 related to stock options and $2,733 related to restricted shares and units; and the fiscal 2014 expense is comprised of $486 related to stock options and $3,071 related to restricted shares and units. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for these stock-based compensation arrangements was $1,100, $1,250 and $1,185, for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, we expect future stock compensation expense for unvested options and unvested restricted stock units to total $376 and $2,232, respectively, which will be recognized during fiscal years 2017 through 2020. We recognize compensation expense only for the portion of shares that we expect to vest. As such, we apply estimated forfeiture rates to our compensation expense calculations. These rates have been derived using historical forfeiture data, stratified by several employee groups. During fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recorded $76, $86 and $108, respectively, in stock compensation expense to adjust estimated forfeiture rates to actual. We have elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine grant-date fair value for stock options, with the following assumptions: (i) expected share price volatility based on the average of Meridian’s historical volatility over the options’ expected lives and implied volatility based on the value of tradable call options; (ii) expected life of options based on contractual lives, employees’ historical exercise behavior and employees’ historical post-vesting employment termination behavior; (iii) risk-free interest rates based on treasury rates that correspond to the expected lives of the options; and (iv) dividend yield based on the expected yield on underlying Meridian common stock.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $616, $850 and $1,110 for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The total grant-date fair value of options that vested during fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $474, $571 and $701, respectively. Cash received from options exercised was $2,364, $2,478 and $567 for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Tax (expense) benefits recorded to additional paid-in capital from option exercises totaled ($70), ($502) and $315 for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |

Such reserves were $2,680 and $2,456 at September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We estimate these reserves based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual demand and market conditions were to be less favorable than such estimates, additional inventory write-downs would be required and recorded in the period known. Such adjustments would negatively affect gross profit margin and overall results of operations. |

Intangible Assets | (h) Intangible Assets - During fiscal 2016, the annual impairment review for our Americas Diagnostics reporting unit consisted of a qualitative assessment. A qualitative assessment is first performed to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value using qualitative indicators. In the event that the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value, with fair value of the reporting unit estimated using market and discounted cash flow approaches. Our Americas Diagnostics reporting unit satisfied the qualitative assessment for fiscal 2016. For each of our Bioline and Life Science-U.S. reporting units, we performed a quantitative assessment in order to determine if impairment existed. As part of this assessment, fair value, as determined through a valuation performed by a third party, was calculated via both market (comparable company) and income (discounted cash flows) approaches. Based upon these approaches, as well as an average of the two, the fair values of each reporting unit exceeded their carrying values; therefore, both the Bioline and Life Science-U.S. reporting units satisfied the quantitative assessment for fiscal 2016. The goodwill held by our Magellan reporting unit was recorded at estimated fair value as part of the March 24, 2016 acquisition (see Note 2) and no events have occurred since that date that would indicate the existence of an impairment. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. We have no intangible assets with indefinite lives other than goodwill. There have been no impairments from the analyses performed for fiscal 2016, 2015 or 2014. During fiscal 2016, goodwill increased $39,633, reflecting $41,358 from the acquisition of Magellan (Diagnostics operating segment; see Note 2) and a $1,725 decrease from the currency translation adjustment on the goodwill of the Life Science segment’s Bioline Group. The decrease of $844 in fiscal 2015 solely reflects the effect of the Bioline Group and the currency translation adjustments thereon. A summary of Meridian’s acquired intangible assets subject to amortization, as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows: 2016 2015 As of September 30, Gross Accum. Gross Accum. Manufacturing technologies, core products and cell lines $ 21,921 $ 11,540 $ 11,582 $ 10,906 Trade names, licenses and patents 9,037 3,947 6,410 3,296 Customer lists, customer relationships and supply agreeements 24,385 10,511 12,105 9,964 Non-compete agreements 680 170 — — $ 56,023 $ 26,168 $ 30,097 $ 24,166 The actual aggregate amortization expense for these intangible assets for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $2,690, $1,748 and $2,039, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for these intangible assets for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows: fiscal 2017 - $3,671, fiscal 2018 - $3,480, fiscal 2019 - $3,269, fiscal 2020 - $3,107 and fiscal 2021 - $2,510. Long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that such assets may not be recoverable at their carrying value. Whether an event or circumstance triggers an impairment is determined by comparing an estimate of the asset’s future undiscounted cash flows to its carrying value. If impairment has occurred, it is measured by a fair-value based calculation. Our ability to recover the carrying value of our intangible assets, both identifiable intangibles and goodwill, is dependent upon the future cash flows of the related acquired businesses and assets. We make judgments and assumptions regarding future cash flows, including sales levels, gross profit margins, operating expense levels, working capital levels, and capital expenditures. With respect to identifiable intangibles and fixed assets, we also make judgments and assumptions regarding useful lives. We consider the following factors in evaluating events and circumstances for possible impairment: (i) significant under-performance relative to historical or projected operating results; (ii) negative industry trends; (iii) sales levels of specific groups of products (related to specific identifiable intangibles); (iv) changes in overall business strategies; and (v) other factors. If actual cash flows are less favorable than projections, this could trigger impairment of intangible assets and other long-lived assets. If impairment were to occur, this would negatively affect overall results of operations. No triggering events have been identified by the Company for fiscal 2016, 2015 or 2014. |
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable | (i) Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Revenue for our Diagnostics segment includes revenue for our illumi gene We evaluate whether each deliverable in the arrangement is a separate unit of accounting. The significant deliverables are an instrument, instrument accessories (e.g., printer) and test kits. An instrument and instrument accessories are delivered to the customer prior to the start of the customer utilization period in order to accommodate customer set-up and installation. There is de minimis illumi gene In markets where the test system is not sold via multiple deliverable arrangements, the cost of the instrument and instrument accessories is charged to cost of sales at the time of shipment and transfer of title to the customer. Revenue for the sales of instruments and instrument accessories and test kits is recognized upon shipment and transfer of title to the customers. In these markets, our illumi gene Our products are generally not subject to a customer right of return except for product recall events under the rules and regulations of the Food and Drug Administration or equivalent agencies outside the United States. In this circumstance, the costs to replace affected products would be accrued at the time a loss was probable and estimable. Trade accounts receivable are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at invoiced amounts less provisions for distributor price adjustments under local contracts and doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our estimate of probable credit losses and is based on historical write-off experience and known conditions that would likely lead to non-payment. The allowance for doubtful accounts and related metrics, such as days’ sales outstanding, are reviewed monthly. Accounts with past due balances over 90 days are reviewed individually for collectibility. Customer invoices are charged off against the allowance when we believe it is probable that the invoices will not be paid. |

Accounting For Income Tax Uncertainties | We account for uncertain tax positions using a benefit recognition model with a two-step approach: (i) a more-likely-than-not recognition criterion; and (ii) a measurement attribute that measures the position as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being ultimately realized upon ultimate settlement. If it is not more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on its technical merits, no benefit is recorded. We recognize accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a portion of our income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 5. |
