Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Vertex” or the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim period ended March 31, 2018 also include the financial results of BioAxone Biosciences, Inc. (“BioAxone”), a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that the Company consolidated from 2014 through December 31, 2018 . All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company operates in one segment, pharmaceuticals. The Company has reclassified certain items from the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 . The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 , which are contained in the 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been made in connection with the calculation of revenues, research and development expenses, goodwill, deferred tax asset valuation allowances and the provision for or benefit from income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions, including in certain circumstances future projections that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Leases In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”), which amends a number of aspects of lease accounting and requires entities to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. ASC 842 became effective on January 1, 2019. The Company has finalized its review of its portfolio of existing leases and current accounting policies and has concluded that the amended guidance results in the recognition of additional assets and corresponding liabilities on its balance sheets. The Company also has finalized changes to its controls to address the adoption and ongoing lease accounting and related disclosure requirements of the new standard. Until December 31, 2018, the Company applied build-to-suit accounting and was the deemed owner of its leased corporate headquarters in Boston and research site in San Diego, for which it was recognizing depreciation expense over the buildings’ useful lives and imputed interest on the corresponding construction financing lease obligations. Under the amended guidance that became effective January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for these buildings as finance leases, resulting in increased depreciation expense over the respective lease terms of 15-16 years, which are significantly shorter than the buildings’ useful lives of 40 years. The Company also expects a reduction in its imputed interest expense in the initial years of each finance lease term. In 2019, the Company expects an increase in operating expenses of approximately $26 million and a decrease in interest expense of approximately $13 million due to this change. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”), which offered a transition option to entities adopting ASC 842. Under ASU 2018-11, entities could elect to apply ASC 842 using a modified-retrospective adoption approach resulting in a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit at the beginning of the year in which the new lease standard is adopted, rather than adjustments to the earliest comparative period presented in their financial statements. The Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified-retrospective method. As of January 1, 2019, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to increase its “ Accumulated deficit ” by $40.3 million related to the adjustments to its build-to-suit leases described in the previous paragraph. The Company elected the package of transition practical expedients for leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019, allowing it not to reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) the initial indirect costs for any existing leases. Additionally, the Company recorded, upon adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, operating lease assets of $61.7 million and corresponding liabilities of $71.9 million related to its real estate leases that are not treated as finance leases under ASC 842. The difference between these assets and liabilities is primarily attributable to prepaid or accrued lease payments. The Company also reclassified amounts that were recorded as “Capital lease obligations, current portion” and “Capital lease obligations, excluding current portion” as of December 31, 2018 to “ Other current liabilities ” and “ Long-term finance lease liabilities ,” respectively, on January 1, 2019. These adjustments had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and had no impact on the Company’s accumulated deficit. The cumulative effect of applying ASC 842 on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 was as follows: Balance as of Balance as of December 31, 2018 ^ Adjustments January 1, 2019 Assets (in thousands) Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 140,819 $ (2,930 ) $ 137,889 Property and equipment, net 812,005 (53,920 ) 758,085 Deferred tax assets 1,499,672 11,236 1,510,908 Operating lease assets — 61,674 61,674 Total assets $ 6,245,898 $ 16,060 $ 6,261,958 Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity Capital lease obligations, current portion $ 9,817 $ (9,817 ) $ — Other current liabilities 40,589 34,304 74,893 Capital lease obligations, excluding current portion 19,658 (19,658 ) — Construction financing lease obligation, excluding current portion 561,892 (561,892 ) — Long-term finance lease liabilities — 569,487 569,487 Long-term operating lease liabilities — 64,849 64,849 Other long-term liabilities 26,280 (20,903 ) 5,377 Accumulated deficit (2,989,478 ) (40,310 ) (3,029,788 ) Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity $ 6,245,898 $ 16,060 $ 6,261,958 ^ As reported in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please refer to Note K, “Leases,” for further information regarding the Company’s leases as well as certain disclosures required by ASC 842. Derivatives and Hedging In 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2017-12”), which helps simplify certain aspects of hedge accounting and enables entities to more accurately present their risk management activities in their financial statements. ASU 2017-12 became effective January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Internal-Use Software In 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”), which clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. ASU 2018-15 is effective on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company currently is evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2018-15 may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement In 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company currently is evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2018-13 may have on its disclosures. For a discussion of other recent accounting pronouncements please refer to Note A, “Nature of Business and Accounting Policies—Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” in the 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note A, “Nature of Business and Accounting Policies,” in its 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company is disclosing changes in its accounting policies related to guidance that became effective January 1, 2019 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Specifically, the Company has included its policy pursuant to its adoption of ASC 842 below. Leases At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement contains a lease. If a lease is identified in an arrangement, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and liability on its balance sheet and determines whether the lease should be classified as a finance or operating lease. The Company does not recognize assets or liabilities for leases with lease terms of less than 12 months. A lease qualifies as a finance lease if any of the following criteria are met at the inception of the lease: (i) there is a transfer of ownership of the leased asset to the Company by the end of the lease term, (ii) the Company holds an option to purchase the leased asset that it is reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the leased asset, (iv) the present value of the sum of lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset, or (v) the nature of the leased asset is specialized to the point that it is expected to provide the lessor no alternative use at the end of the lease term. All other leases are recorded as operating leases. Finance and operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term using the discount rate implicit in the lease. If the rate implicit is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Operating lease assets are further adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments. Operating lease payments are expensed using the straight-line method as an operating expense over the lease term. Finance lease assets are amortized to depreciation expense using the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life of the related asset or the lease term. Finance lease payments are bifurcated into (i) a portion that is recorded as imputed interest expense and (ii) a portion that reduces the finance liability associated with the lease. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components when determining which lease payments to include in the calculation of its lease assets and liabilities. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. If a lease includes an option to extend or terminate the lease, the Company reflects the option in the lease term if it is reasonably certain it will exercise the option. Finance leases are recorded in “ Property and equipment, net ,” “ Other current liabilities ” and “ Long-term finance lease liabilities ” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating leases are recorded in “ Operating lease assets ,” “ Other current liabilities ” and “ Long-term operating lease liabilities ” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. |

Pursuant to the revenue recognition accounting guidance that was applicable until December 31, 2017, the Company’s ORKAMBI net product revenues for 2015, 2016 and 2017 did not include any net product revenues from sales of ORKAMBI in France because the price was not fixed and determinable at the time of delivery. Upon adopting ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , in the first quarter of 2018, the Company began recognizing net product revenues on a portion of its current period sales based on its estimate of consideration it expects to retain that will not be subject to a significant reversal in amounts recognized. If the Company’s estimate regarding the amounts it will receive for ORKAMBI supplied pursuant to these early access programs changes, the Company will reflect the effect of the change in estimate in “ Product revenues, net ” in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets included an “ Early access sales accrual ” of $382.7 million and $354.4 million , respectively, which was primarily related to the amount it may be required to return to the French government related to ORKAMBI early access programs, which is considered to be a refund liability. Contract Liabilities The Company recorded contract liabilities of $51.4 million and $24.9 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, related to annual contracts with government-owned and supported customers in international markets that limit the amount of annual reimbursement the Company can receive. Upon exceeding the annual reimbursement amount, products are provided free of charge, which is a material right. These contracts, which are classified as “ Other current liabilities ,” include upfront payments and fees. The Company defers a portion of the consideration received for shipments made up to the annual reimbursement limit, and the deferred amount is recognized as revenue when the free products are shipped. The Company’s product revenue contracts include performance obligations that are one year or less. Several of the Company’s contract liabilities relate to contracts with annual reimbursement limits in international markets in which the annual period associated with the contract is not the same as the Company’s fiscal year. In the majority of international markets in which the Company has a contract with an annual reimbursement limit, the annual period associated with the contract is the same as the Company’s fiscal year, resulting in no contract liability balance at the end of the year and no revenues recognized in the current year related to performance obligations satisfied in previous years. For the international markets in which the periods associated with these annual contracts are not the same as the Company’s fiscal year, the Company recognizes revenues related to performance obligations satisfied in previous years; however, these amounts are not material to the Company’s financial statements and do not relate to any performance obligations that were satisfied more than 12 months prior to the beginning of the current year. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Collaborative Arrangements and Acquisitions | Collaborative Arrangements and Acquisitions The Company has entered into numerous agreements pursuant to which it collaborates with third parties on research, development and commercialization programs, including in-license and out-license agreements and asset acquisitions. In-license Agreements The Company has entered into a number of license agreements in order to advance and obtain access to technologies and services related to its research and early-development activities. The Company is generally required to make an upfront payment upon execution of the license agreement; development, regulatory and commercialization milestones payments upon the achievement of certain product research, development and commercialization objectives; and royalty payments on future sales, if any, of commercial products resulting from the collaboration. Pursuant to the terms of its in-license agreements, the Company’s collaborators lead the discovery efforts and the Company leads all preclinical, development and commercialization activities associated with the advancement of any drug candidates and funds all expenses unless otherwise described below. The Company typically can terminate its in-license agreements by providing advance notice to its collaborators; the required length of notice is dependent on whether any product developed under the license agreement has received marketing approval. The Company’s license agreements may be terminated by either party for a material breach by the other, subject to notice and cure provisions. Unless earlier terminated, these license agreements generally remain in effect until the date on which the royalty term and all payment obligations with respect to all products in all countries have expired. CRISPR Therapeutics AG In 2015, the Company entered into a strategic collaboration, option and license agreement (the “CRISPR Agreement”) with CRISPR Therapeutics AG and its affiliates (“CRISPR”) to collaborate on the discovery and development of potential new treatments aimed at the underlying genetic causes of human diseases using CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology. The Company has the exclusive right to license up to six CRISPR-Cas9-based targets, including targets for the potential treatment of sickle cell disease. In connection with the CRISPR Agreement, the Company made an upfront payment to CRISPR of $75.0 million and an investment in CRISPR’s stock. The Company has also made several subsequent investments in CRISPR’s common stock, which has resulted in CRISPR becoming a related party of the Company. Please refer to Note F, “Marketable Securities and Equity Investments,” for further information regarding the Company’s investment in CRISPR’s common stock. The Company funds all the discovery activities conducted pursuant to the CRISPR Agreement. For targets that the Company elects to license, other than hemoglobinopathy treatments, the Company would lead all development and global commercialization activities. For each target that the Company elects to license, other than hemoglobinopathy targets, CRISPR has the potential to receive up to $420.0 million in development, regulatory and commercial milestones as well as royalties on net product sales. As part of the collaboration, the Company and CRISPR share equally all development costs and potential worldwide revenues related to potential hemoglobinopathy treatments, including treatments for beta thalassemia and sickle cell disease. In 2017, the Company entered into a co-development and co-commercialization agreement with CRISPR pursuant to the terms of the CRISPR Agreement, under which the Company and CRISPR are co-developing and will co-commercialize CTX001 (the “CTX001 Co-Co Agreement”) for the treatment of hemoglobinopathy, including treatments for sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia. The Company concluded that the CTX001 Co-Co Agreement is a cost-sharing arrangement, which results in the net impact of the arrangement being recorded in “ Research and development expenses ” in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , the net expense related to the CTX001 Co-Co Agreement was $7.0 million and $3.6 million , respectively. Other In-license Agreements In 2016, the Company entered into a strategic collaboration and licensing agreement with Moderna Therapeutics, Inc. (“Moderna”), pursuant to which the parties are seeking to identify and develop messenger ribonucleic acid, or mRNA, therapeutics for the treatment of CF. The Company made an upfront payment to Moderna of $20.0 million and an investment in Moderna’s preferred stock, which converted to common stock when Moderna became a publicly traded company in December 2018. Moderna has the potential to receive future development and regulatory milestones of up to $275.0 million , as well as royalties on net product sales. Please refer to Note F, “Marketable Securities and Equity Investments,” for further information regarding the Company’s investment in Moderna’s common stock. In December 2018, the Company entered into a strategic collaboration and licensing agreement (the “Arbor Agreement”) with Arbor Biotechnologies, Inc. (“Arbor”) focused on the discovery of novel proteins, including DNA endonucleases, to advance the development of new gene-editing therapies. Pursuant to the Arbor Agreement, Arbor’s platform technology is being applied in the collaboration activities for up to five Vertex disease areas in exchange for an upfront payment of $30.0 million . In addition, the Company received a convertible promissory note that matures in 2023 for an additional $15.0 million payment. For each product identified by the collaboration, Arbor has the potential to receive up to $337.5 million in development, regulatory and commercial milestones as well as royalties on net product sales. The Company determined that the fair value of the convertible promissory note approximated its contractual value upon agreement execution and classifies the convertible note in “ Other assets ” at amortized cost. The Company determined that substantially all of the fair value of the Arbor Agreement was attributable to an in-process research and development asset and no substantive processes were acquired that would constitute a business. The Company concluded that it did not have any alternative future use for the acquired in-process research and development asset and recorded the $30.0 million upfront payment to “ Research and development expenses .” In 2015, the Company entered into a strategic collaboration and license agreement with Parion Sciences, Inc. (“Parion”) focused on the development of investigational epithelial sodium channel (“ENaC”) inhibitors for the potential treatment of CF and all other pulmonary diseases. Parion received a $5.0 million milestone that was recorded as “ Research and development expenses ” in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and has the potential to receive additional development and regulatory milestones related to the ENaC inhibitors. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) The Company has licensed rights to certain drug candidates from these third-party collaborators, which has resulted in the consolidation of certain third-parties’ financial statements into the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as VIEs for certain periods of time. As of December 31, 2018, and continuing through the first quarter of 2019, the Company had no consolidated VIEs reflected in its financial statements. BioAxone Biosciences, Inc. In 2014, the Company entered into a license and collaboration agreement (the “BioAxone Agreement”) with BioAxone, which resulted in the consolidation of BioAxone as a VIE beginning in October 2014. The Company made an initial payment to BioAxone of $10.0 million in 2014. In the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company recorded net income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $17.0 million , which was primarily related to a $24.0 million increase in the fair value of the contingent payments payable by Vertex to BioAxone due to (i) the expiration of an option held by the Company to purchase BioAxone in the first quarter of 2018 that increased the probability of a $10.0 million license continuation fee for VX-210 (which was ultimately paid in the first quarter of 2018) and (ii) the probability that additional milestone and royalty payments related to the BioAxone Agreement would be paid. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest also included a $6.4 million benefit from income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2018 that was primarily related to the increase in the fair value of the contingent payments. In October 2018, the Company announced it would stop clinical development of VX-210 and terminate the Phase 2b clinical trial of VX-210 based on the recommendation of the clinical trial’s Data Safety Monitoring Board and the Company’s review of interim data from the clinical trial. In December 2018, the Company notified BioAxone of its intent to terminate the BioAxone Agreement and executed a release that immediately allowed BioAxone to control development of its neurological programs other than VX-210 without the Company’s consent. As a result, the Company deconsolidated BioAxone as of December 31, 2018 because it determined that it no longer was the primary beneficiary of BioAxone as it no longer had the power to direct the significant activities of BioAxone. The net impact of the deconsolidation was not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. Asset Acquisition Concert Pharmaceuticals In 2017, the Company acquired certain CF assets including VX-561 (the “Concert Assets”) from Concert Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Concert”) pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the “Concert Agreement”). VX-561 is an investigational CFTR potentiator that has the potential to be used as part of combination regimens of CFTR modulators to treat CF. Pursuant to the Concert Agreement, Vertex paid Concert $160.0 million in cash for the Concert Assets, which was recorded to “ Research and development expenses ” in 2017. If VX-561 is approved as part of a combination regimen to treat CF, Concert could receive up to an additional $90.0 million in milestones based on regulatory approval in the United States and reimbursement in the United Kingdom, Germany or France. Out-license agreements The Company has entered into licensing agreements pursuant to which it has out-licensed rights to certain drug candidates to third-party collaborators. Pursuant to these out-license agreements, the Company’s collaborators become responsible for all costs related to the continued development of such drug candidates and obtain development and commercialization rights to these drug candidates. Depending on the terms of the agreements, the Company’s collaborators may be required to make upfront payments, milestone payments upon the achievement of certain product research and development objectives and may also be required to pay royalties on future sales, if any, of commercial products resulting from the collaboration. The termination provisions associated with these collaborations are generally the same as those described above related to the Company’s in-license agreements. Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany In January 2017, the Company entered into a strategic collaboration and license agreement (the “Oncology Agreement”) with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany (the “Licensee”). Pursuant to the Oncology Agreement, the Company granted the Licensee an exclusive worldwide license to research, develop and commercialize four oncology research and development programs including two clinical-stage programs targeting DNA damage repair: its ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein kinase inhibitor program, or ATR program, including VX-970 and VX-803, and its DNA-dependent protein kinase inhibitor program, or DNA-PK program, including VX-984. In addition, the Company granted the Licensee exclusive, worldwide rights to two pre-clinical programs. The Company recorded the $230.0 million upfront payment related to the Oncology Agreement as “ Collaborative and royalty revenues ” upon delivery of the license in 2017. The Company’s activities related to the Oncology Agreement were substantially complete in 2017. In December 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany (the “DNA-PK Agreement”) whereby the Company licensed the two lead Vertex DNA-PK compounds from its DNA-PK program for use in the field of gene integration for six specific indications. In exchange for this exclusive worldwide license to research, develop and commercialize the DNA-PK program for the specified indications within the field of gene integration, the Company made an upfront payment of $65.0 million . Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany has the potential to receive additional milestones, primarily related to approval and reimbursement in various markets, as well as royalties on net product sales. The Company evaluated the DNA-PK Agreement and concluded it represents a modification of the Oncology Agreement pursuant to ASC 606. As of December 2018, when the Company entered into the DNA-PK Agreement, the Company had completed its obligations under the Oncology Agreement, but the Oncology Agreement was an open contract pursuant to ASC 606 since the Company could receive future royalty payments from the commercialization of the licensed programs under the Oncology Agreement. In applying ASC 606, the Company determined that the license granted under the DNA-PK Agreement is distinct from the license granted by the Company under the Oncology Agreement since the license to the two lead Vertex DNA-PK compounds is capable of being distinct as the Company is able to benefit from the license via its ability to internally develop and commercialize the two lead Vertex DNA-PK compounds in the six named indications in the field of gene-editing, and the license is not dependent on Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany providing any specialized services to the Company. In addition, the license to the two lead Vertex DNA-PK compounds granted to the Company under the DNA-PK Agreement is distinct from the license granted by the Company under the Oncology Agreement as the rights conveyed in the licenses differ and both parties have the ability to commercially benefit from the licenses on their own. Furthermore, the consideration attributable to the license of the two lead Vertex DNA-PK compounds represents fair value. Therefore, the Company determined it should account for the DNA-PK Agreement as a separate agreement. The Company determined that substantially all of the fair value of the DNA-PK Agreement was attributable to a single in-process research and development asset that did not constitute a business. The Company concluded that it did not have any alternative future use for the acquired in-process research and development asset and recorded the $65.0 million payment to “ Research and development expenses ” accordingly. Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Janssen”). Pursuant to the agreement, Janssen has an exclusive worldwide license to develop and commercialize certain drug candidates for the treatment of influenza, including pimodivir. The Company has received upfront and milestone payments of $60.0 million from Janssen to date. The most recent milestone was earned based on Janssen’s initiation of a Phase 3 clinical trial in 2017. Cystic Fibrosis Foundation The Company has a research, development and commercialization agreement that was originally entered into in 2004 with Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (“CFF”), as successor in interest to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics, Inc. This agreement was most recently amended in 2016 (the “2016 Amendment”). Pursuant to the agreement, as amended, the Company agreed to pay royalties ranging from low-single digits to mid-single digits on potential sales of certain compounds first synthesized and/or tested between March 1, 2014 and August 31, 2016, including VX-659 and VX-445, and tiered royalties ranging from single digits to sub-teens on any approved drugs first synthesized and/or tested during a research term on or before February 28, 2014, including KALYDECO (ivacaftor), ORKAMBI (lumacaftor in combination with ivacaftor) and SYMDEKO/SYMKEVI (tezacaftor in combination with ivacaftor). For combination products, such as ORKAMBI and SYMDEKO, sales are allocated equally to each of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in the combination product. There are no remaining commercial milestone payments payable by the Company to CFF pursuant to the agreement. Pursuant to the 2016 Amendment, the Company received an upfront payment of $75.0 million and is receiving development funding from CFF of up to $6.0 million annually. The Company concluded that the upfront payment plus any future development funding represent a form of financing pursuant to ASC 730 and thus records the amounts as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, primarily reflected in “ Long-term advance from collaborator .” The Company reduces this liability over the estimated royalty term of the agreement and reflects the reductions as an offset to “ Cost of sales ” and as “ Interest expense .” The Company has royalty obligations to CFF for ivacaftor, lumacaftor and tezacaftor until the expiration of patents covering those compounds. The Company has patents in the United States and European Union covering the composition-of-matter of ivacaftor that expire in 2027 and 2025, respectively, subject to potential patent extension. The Company has patents in the United States and European Union covering the composition-of-matter of lumacaftor that expire in 2030 and 2026, respectively, subject to potential extension. The Company has patents in the United States and European Union covering the composition-of-matter of tezacaftor that expire in 2027 and 2028, respectively, subject to potential extension. |

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements | 3 Months Ended |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects the Company’s estimate of amounts that it would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from sources independent from the Company) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (the Company’s assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company’s investment strategy is focused on capital preservation. The Company invests in instruments that meet the credit quality standards outlined in the Company’s investment policy. This policy also limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issue or type of instrument. The Company maintains strategic investments separately from the investment policy that governs its other cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as described in “ Note F, “Marketable Securities and Equity Investments.” As of March 31, 2019 , the Company’s investments were in money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, government-sponsored enterprise securities, corporate debt securities, commercial paper and corporate equity securities. Additionally, the Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts intended to mitigate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on its condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2019 , all of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were subject to fair value measurements were valued using observable inputs. The Company’s financial assets valued based on Level 1 inputs consisted of money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, government-sponsored enterprise securities and corporate equity securities. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities valued based on Level 2 inputs consisted of certain corporate equity securities as described below, corporate debt securities, commercial paper, which consisted of investments in highly-rated investment-grade corporations, and foreign currency forward contracts with reputable and creditworthy counterparties. In 2018, Moderna became a publicly traded company. The Company has valued its investment in Moderna based on Level 2 inputs due to transfer restrictions subsequent to Moderna’s initial public offering lasting until December 2019. The reduction in fair value recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet related to this transfer restriction is not material to its financial statements. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , the Company did not record any other-than-temporary impairment charges related to its financial assets. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements (and does not include $1.5 billion and $ 1.4 billion of cash as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively): Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2019 Fair Value Hierarchy Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in thousands) Financial instruments carried at fair value (asset positions): Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 1,354,656 $ 1,354,656 $ — $ — U.S. Treasury securities 5,996 5,996 — — Government-sponsored enterprise securities 11,786 11,786 — — Corporate debt securities 4,519 — 4,519 — Commercial paper 35,955 — 35,955 — Marketable securities: Corporate equity securities 210,874 192,207 18,667 — Government-sponsored enterprise securities 15,181 15,181 — — Corporate debt securities 231,572 — 231,572 — Commercial paper 126,523 — 126,523 — Prepaid expenses and other current assets: Foreign currency forward contracts 19,210 — 19,210 — Other assets: Foreign currency forward contracts 973 — 973 — Total financial assets $ 2,017,245 $ 1,579,826 $ 437,419 $ — Financial instruments carried at fair value (liability positions): Other current liabilities: Foreign currency forward contracts $ (310 ) $ — $ (310 ) $ — Other long-term liabilities: Foreign currency forward contracts (68 ) — (68 ) — Total financial liabilities $ (378 ) $ — $ (378 ) $ — Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2018 Fair Value Hierarchy Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in thousands) Financial instruments carried at fair value (asset positions): Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 1,226,603 $ 1,226,603 $ — $ — U.S. Treasury securities 5,966 5,966 — — Government-sponsored enterprise securities 7,123 7,123 — — Commercial paper 58,268 — 58,268 — Marketable securities: Corporate equity securities 167,323 153,733 13,590 — U.S. Treasury securities 6,026 6,026 — — Government-sponsored enterprise securities 10,704 10,704 — — Corporate debt securities 233,665 — 233,665 — Commercial paper 100,390 — 100,390 — Prepaid expenses and other current assets: Foreign currency forward contracts 19,023 — 19,023 — Other assets: Foreign currency forward contracts 1,514 — 1,514 — Total financial assets $ 1,836,605 $ 1,410,155 $ 426,450 $ — Financial instruments carried at fair value (liability positions): Other current liabilities: Foreign currency forward contracts $ (340 ) $ — $ (340 ) $ — Other long-term liabilities: Foreign currency forward contracts (108 ) — (108 ) — Total financial liabilities $ (448 ) $ — $ (448 ) $ — Please refer to Note F, “Marketable Securities and Equity Investments,” for the carrying amount and related unrealized gains (losses) by type of investment. |

Hedging | Hedging Foreign currency forward contracts - Designated as hedging instruments The Company maintains a hedging program intended to mitigate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates for a portion of the Company’s forecasted product revenues denominated in certain foreign currencies. The program includes foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges under GAAP having contractual durations from one to eighteen months. The Company recognizes realized gains and losses for the effective portion of such contracts in “ Product revenues, net ” in its condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same period that it recognizes the product revenues that were impacted by the hedged foreign exchange rate changes. The Company formally documents the relationship between foreign currency forward contracts (hedging instruments) and forecasted product revenues (hedged items), as well as the Company’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedging activities, which includes matching all foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges to forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the foreign currency forward contracts are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. If the Company were to determine that a (i) foreign currency forward contract is not highly effective as a cash flow hedge, (ii) foreign currency forward contract has ceased to be a highly effective hedge or (iii) forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, the Company would discontinue hedge accounting treatment prospectively. The Company measures effectiveness based on the change in fair value of the forward contracts and the fair value of the hypothetical foreign currency forward contracts with terms that match the critical terms of the risk being hedged. As of March 31, 2019 , all hedges were determined to be highly effective. The Company considers the impact of its counterparties’ credit risk on the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , credit risk did not change the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts. The following table summarizes the notional amount of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges under GAAP: As of March 31, 2019 As of December 31, 2018 Foreign Currency (in thousands) Euro $ 373,264 $ 335,179 British pound sterling 76,685 73,460 Australian dollar 70,889 52,820 Canadian dollar 40,089 43,759 Total foreign currency forward contracts $ 560,927 $ 505,218 Foreign currency forward contracts - Not designated as hedging instruments The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts with contractual maturities of less than one month, which are designed to mitigate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities, including intercompany balances. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP. The Company recognizes realized gains and losses for such contracts in “ Other income, net ” in its condensed consolidated statements of operations each period. As of March 31, 2019 , the notional amount of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts where hedge accounting under GAAP is not applied was $220.9 million . During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , the Company recognized the following related to foreign currency forward contacts in its condensed consolidated statements of operations: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 (in thousands) Designated as hedging instruments - Reclassified from AOCI Product revenues, net $ 6,839 $ (6,485 ) Not designated as hedging instruments Other income, net $ 3,151 $ 1,539 The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges under GAAP included on its condensed consolidated balance sheets: As of March 31, 2019 Assets Liabilities Classification Fair Value Classification Fair Value (in thousands) Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 19,210 Other current liabilities $ (310 ) Other assets 973 Other long-term liabilities (68 ) Total assets $ 20,183 Total liabilities $ (378 ) As of December 31, 2018 Assets Liabilities Classification Fair Value Classification Fair Value (in thousands) Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 19,023 Other current liabilities $ (340 ) Other assets 1,514 Other long-term liabilities (108 ) Total assets $ 20,537 Total liabilities $ (448 ) As of March 31, 2019 , the Company expects amounts that are related to foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges under GAAP recorded in “ Prepaid expenses and other current assets ” and “ Other current liabilities ” to be reclassified to earnings within twelve months.

Revolving Credit Facility | Revolving Credit Facility In October 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and the lenders referred to therein. The Credit Agreement provides for a $500.0 million revolving facility, $300.0 million of which was drawn at closing (the “Loans”) and was repaid in February 2017. The Credit Agreement also provides that, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company may request that the borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement be increased by an additional $300.0 million . The Credit Agreement matures on October 13, 2021. The Loans will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either a base rate or a Eurodollar rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. Under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margins on base rate loans range from 0.75% to 1.50% and the applicable margins on Eurodollar loans range from 1.75% to 2.50% , in each case based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (the ratio of the Company’s total consolidated debt to the Company’s trailing twelve-month EBITDA). The Loans are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (excluding intellectual property, owned and leased real property and certain other excluded property) and by the equity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company must maintain, subject to certain limited exceptions, a consolidated leverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 and consolidated EBITDA of at least $200.0 million , in each case measured on a quarterly basis. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. In the case of a continuing event of default, the administrative agent would be entitled to exercise various remedies, including the acceleration of amounts due under outstanding loans. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Leases Finance Leases The Company’s finance lease assets and liabilities primarily relate to its corporate headquarters in Boston and research site in San Diego (the “Buildings”). These Buildings are classified as finance leases because the present value of the sum of the lease payments associated with the Buildings exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the Buildings. The Company also has outstanding finance leases for equipment. Prior to the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company was deemed for accounting purposes to be the owner of the Buildings during their construction periods and recorded project construction costs incurred by its landlords. Upon completion of the Buildings, the Company determined that the underlying leases did not meet the criteria for “sale-leaseback” treatment. Accordingly, the Company depreciated the Buildings over 40 years and recorded interest expense associated with the financing obligations for the Buildings. The Company bifurcated the lease payments pursuant to the Buildings into (i) a portion that was allocated to the buildings and (ii) a portion that is allocated to the land on which the buildings were constructed. The portion of the lease obligations allocated to the land was treated as an operating lease. Pursuant to ASC 842, the Company adjusted the amounts recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 for the Buildings to reflect the present value of the lease payments over the remaining lease term related to the Buildings. The finance lease assets associated with the Buildings are amortized to depreciation expense using the straight-line method over the remaining lease term, which is significantly shorter than the Buildings’ useful lives. The Company continues to record interest expense associated with the finance lease liabilities for the Buildings. Corporate Headquarters In 2011, the Company entered into two lease agreements, pursuant to which the Company leases approximately 1.1 million square feet of office and laboratory space in two buildings in Boston, Massachusetts for a term of 15 years. Base rent payments commenced in December 2013, and will continue through December 2028. The Company utilizes this initial period as its lease term. The Company has an option to extend the lease terms for an additional ten years. San Diego Lease In 2015, the Company entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which the Company leases approximately 170,000 square feet of office and laboratory space in San Diego, California for a term of 16 years. Base rent payments will commence in the second quarter of 2019, and will continue through May 2034. The Company utilizes this initial period as its lease term. The Company has an option to extend the lease term for up to two additional five -year terms. The Company placed this building in service in the second quarter of 2018. Operating Leases The Company’s operating leases relate to its real estate leases that are not classified as finance leases.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $51.5 million . The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and utilization of net operating losses to offset pre-tax operating income. The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased compared to historical amounts due to the release of the Company’s valuation allowance on the majority of its net operating losses and other deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2018. Starting in the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company began recording a provision for income taxes on its pre-tax income using an estimated effective tax rate that approximates statutory rates. Due to the Company's ability to offset its pre-tax income against previously benefited net operating losses, it expects the majority of its tax provision to represent a non-cash expense until its net operating losses have been fully utilized. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company’s benefit from income taxes of $12.7 million included a benefit from income taxes of $21.9 million from excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation partially offset by provisions for income taxes of $6.4 million related to BioAxone’s income taxes (as a result of an increase in the fair value of the contingent payments payable by the Company to BioAxone) and the Company’s U.S. state and foreign taxes. As noted above, the Company released the valuation allowance on the majority of net operating losses and other deferred tax assets and maintained a valuation allowance of $168.5 million related primarily to U.S. state and foreign tax attributes as of December 31, 2018. On a periodic basis, the Company reassesses any valuation allowances that it maintains on its deferred tax assets, weighing positive and negative evidence to assess the recoverability of the deferred tax assets. The Company has reviewed the tax positions taken, or to be taken, in its tax returns for all tax years currently open to examination by a taxing authority. Unrecognized tax benefits represent the aggregate tax effect of differences between tax return positions and the benefits recognized in the financial statements. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company had $25.2 million and $19.5 million , respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which would affect the Company’s tax rate if recognized. The Company does not expect that its unrecognized tax benefits will materially increase within the next twelve months. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of its provision for income taxes. As of March 31, 2019 , no significant interest or penalties were accrued. The Company did not recognize any material interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 . As of March 31, 2019 , foreign earnings, which were not significant, have been retained indefinitely by foreign subsidiaries for indefinite reinvestment. Upon repatriation of those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company could be subject to withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to any tax assessment from an income tax examination in the United States or any other major taxing jurisdiction for years before 2011, except where the Company has net operating losses or tax credit carryforwards that originate before 2011. The Company has various income tax audits ongoing at any time throughout the world. No adjustments have been reported for any jurisdiction under audit. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Guaranties and Indemnifications As permitted under Massachusetts law, the Company’s Articles of Organization and By-laws provide that the Company will indemnify certain of its officers and directors for certain claims asserted against them in connection with their service as an officer or director. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. However, the Company has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies that could reduce its monetary exposure and enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. No indemnification claims currently are outstanding, and the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification arrangements is minimal. The Company customarily agrees in the ordinary course of its business to indemnification provisions in agreements with clinical trial investigators and sites in its drug development programs, sponsored research agreements with academic and not-for-profit institutions, various comparable agreements involving parties performing services for the Company and its real estate leases. The Company also customarily agrees to certain indemnification provisions in its drug discovery, development and commercialization collaboration agreements. With respect to the Company’s clinical trials and sponsored research agreements, these indemnification provisions typically apply to any claim asserted against the investigator or the investigator’s institution relating to personal injury or property damage, violations of law or certain breaches of the Company’s contractual obligations arising out of the research or clinical testing of the Company’s compounds or drug candidates. With respect to lease agreements, the indemnification provisions typically apply to claims asserted against the landlord relating to personal injury or property damage caused by the Company, to violations of law by the Company or to certain breaches of the Company’s contractual obligations. The indemnification provisions appearing in the Company’s collaboration agreements are similar to those for the other agreements discussed above, but in addition provide some limited indemnification for its collaborator in the event of third-party claims alleging infringement of intellectual property rights. In each of the cases above, the indemnification obligation generally survives the termination of the agreement for some extended period, although the Company believes the obligation typically has the most relevance during the contract term and for a short period of time thereafter. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these provisions is generally unlimited. The Company has purchased insurance policies covering personal injury, property damage and general liability that reduce its exposure for indemnification and would enable it in many cases to recover all or a portion of any future amounts paid. The Company has never paid any material amounts to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. Accordingly, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification arrangements is minimal. Other Contingencies The Company has certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Company accrues a reserve for contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. There were no material contingent liabilities accrued as of March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018 . |

Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Vertex” or the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim period ended March 31, 2018 also include the financial results of BioAxone Biosciences, Inc. (“BioAxone”), a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that the Company consolidated from 2014 through December 31, 2018 . All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company operates in one segment, pharmaceuticals. The Company has reclassified certain items from the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 . The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 , which are contained in the 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been made in connection with the calculation of revenues, research and development expenses, goodwill, deferred tax asset valuation allowances and the provision for or benefit from income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions, including in certain circumstances future projections that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Leases In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”), which amends a number of aspects of lease accounting and requires entities to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. ASC 842 became effective on January 1, 2019. The Company has finalized its review of its portfolio of existing leases and current accounting policies and has concluded that the amended guidance results in the recognition of additional assets and corresponding liabilities on its balance sheets. The Company also has finalized changes to its controls to address the adoption and ongoing lease accounting and related disclosure requirements of the new standard. Until December 31, 2018, the Company applied build-to-suit accounting and was the deemed owner of its leased corporate headquarters in Boston and research site in San Diego, for which it was recognizing depreciation expense over the buildings’ useful lives and imputed interest on the corresponding construction financing lease obligations. Under the amended guidance that became effective January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for these buildings as finance leases, resulting in increased depreciation expense over the respective lease terms of 15-16 years, which are significantly shorter than the buildings’ useful lives of 40 years. The Company also expects a reduction in its imputed interest expense in the initial years of each finance lease term. In 2019, the Company expects an increase in operating expenses of approximately $26 million and a decrease in interest expense of approximately $13 million due to this change. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”), which offered a transition option to entities adopting ASC 842. Under ASU 2018-11, entities could elect to apply ASC 842 using a modified-retrospective adoption approach resulting in a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit at the beginning of the year in which the new lease standard is adopted, rather than adjustments to the earliest comparative period presented in their financial statements. The Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified-retrospective method. As of January 1, 2019, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to increase its “ Accumulated deficit ” by $40.3 million related to the adjustments to its build-to-suit leases described in the previous paragraph. The Company elected the package of transition practical expedients for leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019, allowing it not to reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) the initial indirect costs for any existing leases. Additionally, the Company recorded, upon adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, operating lease assets of $61.7 million and corresponding liabilities of $71.9 million related to its real estate leases that are not treated as finance leases under ASC 842. The difference between these assets and liabilities is primarily attributable to prepaid or accrued lease payments. The Company also reclassified amounts that were recorded as “Capital lease obligations, current portion” and “Capital lease obligations, excluding current portion” as of December 31, 2018 to “ Other current liabilities ” and “ Long-term finance lease liabilities ,” respectively, on January 1, 2019. These adjustments had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and had no impact on the Company’s accumulated deficit. The cumulative effect of applying ASC 842 on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 was as follows: Balance as of Balance as of December 31, 2018 ^ Adjustments January 1, 2019 Assets (in thousands) Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 140,819 $ (2,930 ) $ 137,889 Property and equipment, net 812,005 (53,920 ) 758,085 Deferred tax assets 1,499,672 11,236 1,510,908 Operating lease assets — 61,674 61,674 Total assets $ 6,245,898 $ 16,060 $ 6,261,958 Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity Capital lease obligations, current portion $ 9,817 $ (9,817 ) $ — Other current liabilities 40,589 34,304 74,893 Capital lease obligations, excluding current portion 19,658 (19,658 ) — Construction financing lease obligation, excluding current portion 561,892 (561,892 ) — Long-term finance lease liabilities — 569,487 569,487 Long-term operating lease liabilities — 64,849 64,849 Other long-term liabilities 26,280 (20,903 ) 5,377 Accumulated deficit (2,989,478 ) (40,310 ) (3,029,788 ) Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity $ 6,245,898 $ 16,060 $ 6,261,958 ^ As reported in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please refer to Note K, “Leases,” for further information regarding the Company’s leases as well as certain disclosures required by ASC 842. Derivatives and Hedging In 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2017-12”), which helps simplify certain aspects of hedge accounting and enables entities to more accurately present their risk management activities in their financial statements. ASU 2017-12 became effective January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Internal-Use Software In 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”), which clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. ASU 2018-15 is effective on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company currently is evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2018-15 may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement In 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company currently is evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2018-13 may have on its disclosures. For a discussion of other recent accounting pronouncements please refer to Note A, “Nature of Business and Accounting Policies—Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” in the 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note A, “Nature of Business and Accounting Policies,” in its 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company is disclosing changes in its accounting policies related to guidance that became effective January 1, 2019 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Specifically, the Company has included its policy pursuant to its adoption of ASC 842 below. Leases At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement contains a lease. If a lease is identified in an arrangement, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and liability on its balance sheet and determines whether the lease should be classified as a finance or operating lease. The Company does not recognize assets or liabilities for leases with lease terms of less than 12 months. A lease qualifies as a finance lease if any of the following criteria are met at the inception of the lease: (i) there is a transfer of ownership of the leased asset to the Company by the end of the lease term, (ii) the Company holds an option to purchase the leased asset that it is reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the leased asset, (iv) the present value of the sum of lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset, or (v) the nature of the leased asset is specialized to the point that it is expected to provide the lessor no alternative use at the end of the lease term. All other leases are recorded as operating leases. Finance and operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term using the discount rate implicit in the lease. If the rate implicit is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Operating lease assets are further adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments. Operating lease payments are expensed using the straight-line method as an operating expense over the lease term. Finance lease assets are amortized to depreciation expense using the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life of the related asset or the lease term. Finance lease payments are bifurcated into (i) a portion that is recorded as imputed interest expense and (ii) a portion that reduces the finance liability associated with the lease. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components when determining which lease payments to include in the calculation of its lease assets and liabilities. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. If a lease includes an option to extend or terminate the lease, the Company reflects the option in the lease term if it is reasonably certain it will exercise the option. Finance leases are recorded in “ Property and equipment, net ,” “ Other current liabilities ” and “ Long-term finance lease liabilities ” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating leases are recorded in “ Operating lease assets ,” “ Other current liabilities ” and “ Long-term operating lease liabilities ” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. |
