Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies, which are applied consistently throughout the periods presented, are as follows: A. Financial statements in US dollars Substantially all sales of the Company are made outside of Israel (see Note 12A Transactions and monetary balances in other currencies are translated into the functional currency using the current exchange rate. All exchange gains and losses from remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in earnings when they arise. B. Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. C. Estimates and assumptions The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of PPE, deferred tax assets, inventory, investments, goodwill, intangible assets, share-based compensation and other contingencies. D. Business combinations The Company accounts for business combination in accordance with ASC No. 805, "Business Combinations". ASC No. 805 requires recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. Any excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over purchase price and any subsequent changes in estimated contingencies are to be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. E. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of deposit to be cash equivalents. F. Marketable securities The Company classifies its marketable securities as held-to-maturity as they are debt securities in which the Company has the intent and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities are recorded at amortized cost adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in the "Financial income, net" line item in the consolidated statements of operations. When other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings depends on whether the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. A decline in the market value of HTM security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in an impairment to reduce the carrying amount to fair value. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers all available information relevant to the collectibility of the security, including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts when developing estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry the investee operates in. If the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment's amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings. G. Trade accounts receivable, net Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and its customers' financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, the provision for doubtful accounts receivable amounted to US$ 20 thousand. H. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the "weighted average-cost" method. The Company writes down obsolete or slow moving inventory to its market value, on a quarterly basis. I. Assets held for employees' severance benefits Assets held for employees' severance benefits represent contributions to severance pay funds and cash surrender value of insurance policies. The assets are recorded at their current cash redemption value. J. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation % Machinery and equipment 15 - 33 Office furniture and equipment 6 - 33 Leasehold improvements * * K. Goodwill and other intangible assets Goodwill reflects the excess of the purchase price of business acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Company operates in one operating segment and this segment comprises one reporting unit. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually in accordance with ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 provides an entity the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount prior to performing the two-step goodwill impairment test. If this is the case, the two-step goodwill impairment test is required. If it is more likely than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. If the two-step goodwill impairment test is required, first, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the entity must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and the residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, step two does not need to be performed. During the year ended December 31, 2016, no impairments were found and therefore no impairment losses were recorded. Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives of up to 3 years. The acquired customer relationships, current technology, intellectual property and backlog are amortized over their estimated useful lives in proportion to the economic benefits realized. This accounting policy results in amortization of such intangible assets in the straight-line method. L. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of FASB ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall long-lived assets, such as property, plant, equipment and purchase intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or an asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. M. Revenue recognition Revenues from sales of products are recognized upon delivery provided that the collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, no significant obligations in respect of installation remain and the price is fixed or determinable. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. N. Research and development costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. O. Allowance for product warranty The Company grants service warranties related to certain products to end-users. The Company estimates its obligation for such warranties to be immaterial on the basis of historical experience. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include an accrual for warranty obligations. P. Treasury shares Treasury shares are recorded at cost and presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity. Q. Income taxes Deferred taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. R. Share-based compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation -Stock Compensation as follows: When portions of an award vest in increments during the requisite service period (graded-vesting award), the Company's accounting policy is to recognize compensation cost for the award over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. S. Basic and diluted earnings per share Basic income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted income per ordinary share calculation is similar to basic income per ordinary share except that the weighted average of common shares outstanding is increased to include outstanding potential common shares during the period if dilutive. Potential common shares arise from stock options and RSUs, and the dilutive effect is reflected by the application of the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes information related to the computation of basic and diluted income per ordinary share for the years indicated. Year ended December 31 2014 2015 2016 Net income attributable to ordinary shares (US$ thousands) 14,605 16,520 13,137 Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in basic income per ordinary share calculation 7,184,114 7,268,536 7,343,696 Add assumed exercise of outstanding dilutive potential ordinary shares 134,792 99,448 91,485 Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in diluted income per ordinary share calculation 7,318,906 7,367,984 7,435,181 Basic income per ordinary shares (US$) 2.033 2.273 1.789 Diluted income per ordinary shares (US$) 1.996 2.242 1.767 The weighted average number of shares related to options and RSUs excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because of anti-dilutive effect 37,304 43,181 9,633 T. Comprehensive Income For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, comprehensive income equals net income. U. Fair Value Measurements The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade and other receivables and trade accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments, except for marketable securities, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments. The fair value of marketable securities is presented in Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements. Assets held for severance benefits are recorded at their current cash redemption value. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels: Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date. V. Concentrations of risks (1) Credit risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables and assets held for employees' severance benefits. Cash and cash equivalents balances of the Company, which are subject to credit risk, consist of cash accounts held with major financial institutions. Marketable securities consist of held to maturity marketable securities issued by highly rated corporations. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, the ratings of the securities in the Company's portfolio was at least BBB+ and A respectively. Nonetheless, these investments are subject to general credit and counterparty risks (such as that the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations). Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the Company's diverse customer base and their wide geographical dispersion. The Company closely monitors extensions of credit and has never experienced significant credit losses. (2) Significant customers The Company depends on a small amount of customers for its products. The Company's top three W. Liabilities for loss contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. X. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (1) In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The standard can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. (2) In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, which, for entities that do not measure inventory using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) or retail inventory method, changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. The ASU also eliminates the requirement for these entities to consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. This ASU is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. The impact of adopting the new standard on 2016 total cost of sales and operating income is not expected to be material. (3) In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, which requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. This The Company elected to early adopt the new guidance retrospectively in the beginning of 2015. The impact of adopting the new standard on the balance sheet US$ US$ US$ (4) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize most of their leases on balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. This The impact of adopting the new standard on the operating income is not expected to be material. (5) On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is intended to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions as part of the FASB's simplification initiative. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period provided that the entire ASU is adopted. The impact of adopting the new standard on the operating income is not expected to be material. (6) In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which significantly changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life. This The impact of adopting the new standard on the net income is not expected to be material. |

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Assets Held and Liability for Employees' Severance Benefits | Note 9 - Assets Held and Liability for Employees' Severance Benefits A. Under Israeli law and labor agreements, Silicom is required to make severance payments to retired or dismissed employees and to employees leaving employment in certain other circumstances. In respect of the liability to the employees, individual insurance policies are purchased and deposits are made with recognized severance pay funds. The liability for severance pay is calculated on the basis of the latest salary paid to each employee multiplied by the number of years of employment. The liability is covered by the amounts deposited including accumulated income thereon as well as by the unfunded provision. B. According to Section 14 to the Severance Pay Law ("Section 14") the payment of monthly deposits by a company into recognized severance and pension funds or insurance policies releases it from any additional severance obligation to the employees that have entered into agreements with the company pursuant to such Section 14. Commencing July 1, 2008, the Company has entered into agreements with a majority of its employees in order to implement Section 14. Therefore, as of that date, the payment of monthly deposits by the Company into recognized severance and pension funds or insurance policies releases it from any additional severance obligation to those employees that have entered into such agreements and therefore the Company incurs no additional liability since that date with respect to such employees. Amounts accumulated in the pension funds or insurance policies pursuant to Section 14 are not supervised or administrated by the Company and therefore neither such amounts nor the corresponding accrual are reflected in the balance sheet. C. Consequently, the assets held for employees' severance benefits reported on the balance sheet, in respect of deposits for those employees who have signed agreements pursuant to Section 14, represent the redemption value of deposits made through June 30, 2008. The liability for employee severance benefits, with respect to those employees, represents the liability of the Company for employees' severance benefits as of June 30, 2008. As a result of the implementation of Section 14, as described above, the liability with respect to those employees is calculated on the basis of number of years of employment as of June 30, 2008, multiplied by the latest salary paid. The liability is covered by the amounts deposited, including accumulated income thereon, as well as by the unfunded provision. Such liability will be removed, either upon termination of employment or retirement. D. Expenses recorded with respect to employees' severance payments for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016 were US$ 432 thousand, US$ 543 thousand and US$ 761 thousand, respectively. |

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] | |
Shareholders' Equity | Note 11- Shareholders' Equity Share based compensation A. On July 21, 2004, the Board resolved, subject to shareholders' approval that was given on December 30, 2004, to adopt the Share Option Plan (2004) (the "2004 Plan"). Option grants to employees under the 2004 Plan, including terms of vesting and the exercise price, are subject to the Board of Directors' approval. Option grants to directors and certain other officers are generally subject to the approvals of the Compensation Committee as well as Board of Directors, and grants to directors or a CEO will also generally have to be approved by the Shareholders. The term of the options shall not exceed 10 years from the date that the option was granted. The 2004 Plan initially covered up to 282,750 options and subsequent to an amendment by the board in 2007 it covered up to 582,750 options. In August 2012, the Board of Directors increased the number of the ordinary shares available for issuance under the 2004 Plan by an additional 500,000. All options are at a conversion rate of 1:1. On October 21, 2013 the Board resolved to adopt the Global Share Incentive Plan (2013) (the "2013 Plan") and to reserve up to 500,000 ordinary shares for issuance under the 2013 Plan to employees, directors, officers and consultants of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. Grants under the 2013 Plan, whether as options, restricted stock units, restricted stock or other equity based awards, including their terms, are subject to the Board of Directors' approval. Grants to directors and certain other officers are generally subject to the approvals of the Compensation Committee as well as Board of Directors, and grants to directors or a CEO (and under certain circumstances certain other officers) will also have to be approved by the Shareholders. B. Options or RSUs granted to Israeli residents may be granted under Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance pursuant to which the awards of options, or the ordinary shares issued upon their exercise, must be deposited with a trustee for at least two years following the date of grant. Under Section 102, any tax payable by an employee from the grant or exercise of the awards is deferred until the transfer of the awards or ordinary shares by the trustee to the employee or upon the sale of the awards or ordinary shares. Capital gains on awards granted under the plans are subjected to tax of 25% to be paid by the employee, and the Company is not entitled to a tax deduction. Gains which are not capital gains on awards under the plans are subjected to regular tax rates on individuals, and the Company is entitled to a tax deduction for such gains. C. During 2014 and 2015, the Company granted 74,000 and 8,000 RSUs respectively to certain of its directors, employees and consultants under the 2013 Plan. In relation to those grants: 1. The vesting period of the RSUs ranges between 2 to 3 years from the date of grant. 2. The fair value of RSUs is estimated based on the market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant, less an estimate of dividends that will not accrue to RSUs holders prior to vesting. 3. The Company recognizes compensation expenses on these RSUs based on estimated grant date fair value, with the following assumptions: 2014 2015 Expected dividend yield 2.06 % 3.22 % Termination rate 4.35 % 0 % D. On July 28, 2015, the Company granted, in the aggregate, 89,907 options to certain of its directors and employees under the 2013 Plan. In relation to this grant: 1. The exercise price for the options (per ordinary share) was US$ 26.91 and the Option expiration date was the earlier to occur of: (a) July 28, 2023; and (b) the closing price of the shares falling below US$ 13.46 at any time after the date of grant. The options vest and become exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of grant. 2. The Company recognizes compensation expenses on these options based on estimated grant date fair value using the Binomial option-pricing model with the following assumptions: Average Risk-free interest rate (a) 2.08 % Expected dividend yield 2.09 % Average expected volatility (b) 53.01 % Termination rate 9 % Suboptimal factor (c) 3.4 (a) Risk-free interest rate represents risk free US$ zero-coupon US Government Bonds at time of grant. (b) Expected average volatility represents a weighted average standard deviation rate for the price of the Company's ordinary shares on the NASDAQ National Market. (c) Suboptimal factor represents the multiple of the increase in the market share price on the day of grant of the option which, should it come to pass, will lead to exercise of the option by the employee. It is the average suboptimal factor of the Company and similar companies. E. On June 8, 2016, the Company granted, in the aggregate, 93,660 options to certain of its directors and employees under the 2013 Plan. In relation to this grant: 1. The exercise price for the options (per ordinary share) was US$ 28.38 and the Option expiration date was the earlier to occur of: (a) June 8, 2024; and (b) the closing price of the shares falling below US$ 14.19 at any time after the date of grant. The options vest and become exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of grant. 2.

In December 2016, under the Amendment to the Law, the uniform tax rate in areas in Israel designated as Development Zone A was reduced to 7.5% as from 2017 and thereafter. Therefore, the deferred tax balances as at December 31, 2016 were adjusted by the amount of US$ 94 thousand. Should the Company derive income from sources other than the "Preferred Enterprise" during the relevant period of benefits, such income will be taxable at the regular corporate tax rates for the applicable year. 2. In the event of distribution by the Company of cash dividends out of its retained earnings that were generated prior to 2014 tax year and were tax exempt due to the "Approved Enterprise" or "Benefited Enterprise" status, the Company would be subjected to a maximum of 25% corporate tax on the amount distributed, and a further 15% withholding tax would be deducted from the amounts distributed to the shareholders. Out of the Company's retained earnings as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately US$ 45,405 thousand and US$ 44,742 thousand respectively are tax-exempt, due to "Approved Enterprise" and "Benefited Enterprise" status. If such tax-exempt income is distributed by cash dividend (including a liquidation dividend), it would be taxed at the reduced corporate tax rate applicable to such profits (up to 25%) and an income tax liability of up to approximately US$ 11,351 thousand and US$ 11,186 thousand would be incurred as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company anticipates that any future dividends distributed pursuant to its dividend policy, will be distributed from income sources which will not impose additional tax liabilities on the Company. The Company intends to reinvest the amount of its tax-exempt income. Accordingly, no deferred income taxes have been provided on income attributable to the Company's "Approved Enterprise" or "Benefited Enterprise". If the Company was to declare a dividend from its tax-exempt income, an income tax expense would be recognized in the period a dividend is declared. D. Taxation of the subsidiaries 1. The subsidiary Silicom Connectivity Solutions, Inc. files tax returns to US federal tax authorities and to state tax authorities in the states of New Jersey, California and Virginia. 2. The subsidiary Fiberblaze is taxed according to the tax laws in Denmark and its subsidiary files tax returns to US federal tax authorities, New York state tax authorities and to the city of New York tax authorities. 3. The Company has not provided for Israeli income and foreign withholding taxes on US$ 2,871 thousand of its non-Israeli subsidiaries' undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2016. The earnings could become subject to tax if earnings are remitted or deemed remitted as dividends or upon sale of a subsidiary. The Company currently has no plans to repatriate those funds and intends to indefinitely reinvest them in its non-Israeli operations. The unrecognized deferred tax liability associated with these temporary differences was approximately US$ 359 thousand at December 31, 2016. 4. As of December 31, 2016, the net operating loss carry-forwards of the Company's subsidiaries for tax purposes amounted to approximately US$ 1,500 thousand. These losses are available to offset any future taxable income. E. Tax assessments For the Israeli jurisdiction the Company has final tax assessments for all years up to and including the tax year ended December 31, 2012. For the US Federal jurisdictions, Silicom Inc. has final tax assessments for all years up to and including the tax year ended December 31, 2012. For the New-Jersey and California state jurisdiction, Silicom Inc. has final tax assessments for all years up to and including the tax year ended December 31, 2011. For the Virginia state jurisdiction, Silicom Inc. has open tax assessments for 2015 through 2016. For the Danish jurisdiction, Fiberblaze A/S has final tax assessments for all years up to and including the tax year ended August 31, 2012. For the US Federal jurisdiction, New York State and New York City jurisdictions, Fiberblaze US LLC has open tax assessments for tax years ended August 31, 2013, August 31, 2014, for the four months ended December 31, 2014, for the tax year ended December 31, 2015 and for the tax year ended December 31, 2016.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. This standard prescribes a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also requires significant judgment in determining what constitutes an individual tax position as well as assessing the outcome of each tax position. During 2014, 2015 and 2016 the Company and its subsidiaries did not have any significant unrecognized tax benefits and thus, no related interest and penalties were accrued. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries do not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2016 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Financial Statements in US Dollars | A. Financial statements in US dollars Substantially all sales of the Company are made outside of Israel (see Note 12A Transactions and monetary balances in other currencies are translated into the functional currency using the current exchange rate. All exchange gains and losses from remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in earnings when they arise. |
Basis of Presentation | B. Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Estimates and Assumptions | C. Estimates and assumptions The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of PPE, deferred tax assets, inventory, investments, goodwill, intangible assets, share-based compensation and other contingencies. |
Business combinations | D. Business combinations The Company accounts for business combination in accordance with ASC No. 805, "Business Combinations". ASC No. 805 requires recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. Any excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over purchase price and any subsequent changes in estimated contingencies are to be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Cash and cash equivalents | E. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of deposit to be cash equivalents. |
Marketable securities | F. Marketable securities The Company classifies its marketable securities as held-to-maturity as they are debt securities in which the Company has the intent and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities are recorded at amortized cost adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in the "Financial income, net" line item in the consolidated statements of operations. When other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings depends on whether the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. A decline in the market value of HTM security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in an impairment to reduce the carrying amount to fair value. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers all available information relevant to the collectibility of the security, including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts when developing estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry the investee operates in. If the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment's amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings. |
Trade accounts receivable, net | G. Trade accounts receivable, net Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and its customers' financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, the provision for doubtful accounts receivable amounted to US$ 20 thousand. |
Inventories | H. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the "weighted average-cost" method. The Company writes down obsolete or slow moving inventory to its market value, on a quarterly basis. |
Assets held for employees' severance benefits | I. Assets held for employees' severance benefits Assets held for employees' severance benefits represent contributions to severance pay funds and cash surrender value of insurance policies. The assets are recorded at their current cash redemption value. |
Property, plant and equipment | J. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation % Machinery and equipment 15 - 33 Office furniture and equipment 6 - 33 Leasehold improvements * * |
Goodwill and other intangible assets | K. Goodwill and other intangible assets Goodwill reflects the excess of the purchase price of business acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Company operates in one operating segment and this segment comprises one reporting unit. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually in accordance with ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 provides an entity the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount prior to performing the two-step goodwill impairment test. If this is the case, the two-step goodwill impairment test is required. If it is more likely than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. If the two-step goodwill impairment test is required, first, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the entity must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and the residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, step two does not need to be performed. During the year ended December 31, 2016, no impairments were found and therefore no impairment losses were recorded. Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives of up to 3 years. The acquired customer relationships, current technology, intellectual property and backlog are amortized over their estimated useful lives in proportion to the economic benefits realized. This accounting policy results in amortization of such intangible assets in the straight-line method. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | L. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of FASB ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall long-lived assets, such as property, plant, equipment and purchase intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or an asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. |
Revenue recognition | M. Revenue recognition Revenues from sales of products are recognized upon delivery provided that the collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, no significant obligations in respect of installation remain and the price is fixed or determinable. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, are excluded from revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Research and development costs | N. Research and development costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. |
Allowance for product warranty | O. Allowance for product warranty The Company grants service warranties related to certain products to end-users. The Company estimates its obligation for such warranties to be immaterial on the basis of historical experience. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include an accrual for warranty obligations. |
Treasury shares | P. Treasury shares Treasury shares are recorded at cost and presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity. |
Income taxes | Q. Income taxes Deferred taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. |
Share-based compensation | R. Share-based compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation -Stock Compensation as follows: When portions of an award vest in increments during the requisite service period (graded-vesting award), the Company's accounting policy is to recognize compensation cost for the award over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. |
Basic and diluted earnings per share | S. Basic and diluted earnings per share Basic income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted income per ordinary share calculation is similar to basic income per ordinary share except that the weighted average of common shares outstanding is increased to include outstanding potential common shares during the period if dilutive. Potential common shares arise from stock options and RSUs, and the dilutive effect is reflected by the application of the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes information related to the computation of basic and diluted income per ordinary share for the years indicated. Year ended December 31 2014 2015 2016 Net income attributable to ordinary shares (US$ thousands) 14,605 16,520 13,137 Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in basic income per ordinary share calculation 7,184,114 7,268,536 7,343,696 Add assumed exercise of outstanding dilutive potential ordinary shares 134,792 99,448 91,485 Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding used in diluted income per ordinary share calculation 7,318,906 7,367,984 7,435,181 Basic income per ordinary shares (US$) 2.033 2.273 1.789 Diluted income per ordinary shares (US$) 1.996 2.242 1.767 The weighted average number of shares related to options and RSUs excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because of anti-dilutive effect 37,304 43,181 9,633 |
Comprehensive Income | T. Comprehensive Income For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, comprehensive income equals net income. |
Fair Value Measurements | U. Fair Value Measurements The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade and other receivables and trade accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments, except for marketable securities, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments. The fair value of marketable securities is presented in Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements. Assets held for severance benefits are recorded at their current cash redemption value. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels: Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date. |
Concentrations of risks | V. Concentrations of risks (1) Credit risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables and assets held for employees' severance benefits. Cash and cash equivalents balances of the Company, which are subject to credit risk, consist of cash accounts held with major financial institutions. Marketable securities consist of held to maturity marketable securities issued by highly rated corporations. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, the ratings of the securities in the Company's portfolio was at least BBB+ and A respectively. Nonetheless, these investments are subject to general credit and counterparty risks (such as that the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations). Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the Company's diverse customer base and their wide geographical dispersion. The Company closely monitors extensions of credit and has never experienced significant credit losses. (2) Significant customers The Company depends on a small amount of customers for its products. The Company's top three |
Liabilities for loss contingencies | W. Liabilities for loss contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | X. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (1) In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The standard can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. (2) In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, which, for entities that do not measure inventory using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) or retail inventory method, changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. The ASU also eliminates the requirement for these entities to consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. This ASU is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. The impact of adopting the new standard on 2016 total cost of sales and operating income is not expected to be material. (3) In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, which requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. This The Company elected to early adopt the new guidance retrospectively in the beginning of 2015. The impact of adopting the new standard on the balance sheet US$ US$ US$ (4) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize most of their leases on balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. This The impact of adopting the new standard on the operating income is not expected to be material. (5) On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is intended to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions as part of the FASB's simplification initiative. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period provided that the entire ASU is adopted. The impact of adopting the new standard on the operating income is not expected to be material. (6) In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which significantly changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life. This The impact of adopting the new standard on the net income is not expected to be material. |
