Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of consolidation | Principles of consolidation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company's accounts as well as those of its wholly owned subsidiaries after the elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. |
Reclassifications | Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to 2016 presentation. These reclassifications include; (i) provision for excess and obsolete inventories and provision for receivables allowance have been reclassified/combined with inventories and accounts receivable within net cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and (ii) the deferred service revenue and deferred gross profit have been combined under deferred revenue, net. |
Use of estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the Company in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. The Company's critical accounting policies are those that affect its financial statements materially and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management. Those policies are revenue recognition, accounts receivable and notes receivable from investment in sales-type leases, inventory valuation, capitalized software development costs, valuation and impairment of goodwill, purchased intangibles and long-lived assets, share-based compensation and accounting for income taxes. |
Segment reporting change | Segment reporting The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of the Company's segments using information about its revenues, gross profit, and income from operations. Such evaluation excludes general corporate-level costs that are not specific to either of the reportable segments and are managed separately at the corporate level. Corporate-level costs include expenses related to executive management, finance and accounting, human resources, legal, training and development, and certain administrative expenses. See Note 13, Segment and Geographical Information, for addition information on segment reporting. The operating results of the recently acquired Aesynt, Mach4 and Avantec businesses are included in the Company's Automation and Analytics reportable segment. The operating results of the recently acquired Ateb business is included in the Medication Adherence reportable segment. |
Foreign currency translation and remeasurement | Foreign currency translation and remeasurement Most of the Company's foreign subsidiaries use the local currency of their respective countries as their functional currency. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of such non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Revenue and expenses for these subsidiaries are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from these translations are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments and included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries that use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency remeasure monetary assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period, and inventories, property and non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical rates. Gains and losses from such foreign currency remeasurement is recorded in interest and other income (expense). Foreign Currency Risk Management The Company operates in foreign countries, which expose it to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and various foreign currencies, the most significant of which is the British Pound and Euro. In order to manage foreign currency risk, at times the Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate risks associated with changes in spot exchange rates of mainly non-functional currency denominated assets or liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries. In general, the market risk related to these contracts is offset by corresponding gains and losses on the hedged transactions. By working only with major banks and closely monitoring current market conditions, the Company seeks to limit the risk that counterparties to these contracts may be unable to perform. The foreign exchange forward contracts are measured at fair value and reported as other current assets or accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The derivative instruments the Company uses to hedge this exposure are not designated as hedges. Any gains or losses on the foreign exchange forward contracts are recognized in earnings as Other Income/Expense in the period incurred in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for trading purposes. |
Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition The Company earns revenues from sales of our medication and medical and surgical supply automation systems along with consumables and related services, which are sold in the healthcare industry, our principal market. Revenues are reported net of discounts and rebates provided to its customers. The Company's customer arrangements typically include one or more of the following deliverables: Products. Software-enabled equipment that manages and regulates the storage and dispensing of pharmaceuticals, consumable blister cards and packaging equipment and other medical supplies. Software. Additional software applications that enable incremental functionality of its equipment. Installation. Installation of equipment as integrated systems at customers' sites. Post-installation technical support. Phone support, on-site service, parts and access to unspecified software upgrades and enhancements, if and when available. Professional services. Other customer services, such as training and consulting. The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete, based upon its evaluation of whether the following four criteria have been met: Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. The Company uses signed customer contracts and signed customer purchase orders as evidence of an arrangement for leases and sales. For service engagements, the Company uses a signed services agreement and a statement of work to evidence an arrangement. Delivery has occurred. Equipment and embedded software product delivery is deemed to occur upon successful installation and receipt of a signed and dated customer confirmation of installation letter, providing evidence that the Company has delivered what a customer ordered. In instances of a customer self-installation, product delivery is deemed to have occurred upon receipt of a signed and dated customer confirmation letter. If a sale does not require installation, the Company recognizes revenue on delivery of products to the customer, including transfer of title and risk of loss, assuming all other revenue criteria are met. For existing distributors, where installation of equipment training has been previously provided and the distributor is certified to install the Company's equipment at the end-user customer facility, the Company recognizes revenue from sales of products to the distributor upon shipment assuming all other revenue criteria are met, net of allowance for rights of return or refund. For new distributors, where the Company has not provided installation of equipment training, revenue on the sales of products to the distributor is deferred until the distributor has completed the Distributor Training Program and has been certified to install the Company's equipment at the end-user facility. For the sale of consumable blister cards, the Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss of the products shipped have transferred to the customer, which usually occurs upon shipment from the Company's facilities. Assuming all other revenue criteria are met, the Company recognizes revenue for support services ratably over the related support services contract period. The Company recognizes revenue on training and professional services as they are performed. Fee is fixed or determinable. The Company assesses whether a fee is fixed or determinable at the outset of the arrangement based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. The Company has established a history of collecting under the original contract without providing concessions on payments, products or services. Collection is probable. The Company assesses the probability of collecting from each customer at the outset of the arrangement based on a number of factors, including the customer's payment history and its current creditworthiness. If, in the Company's judgment, collection of a fee is not probable, the Company defers revenue recognition until the uncertainty is removed, which generally means revenue is recognized upon the Company's receipt of cash payment assuming all other revenue criteria are met. The Company's historical experience has been that collection from its customers is generally probable. In arrangements with multiple deliverables, assuming all other revenue criteria are met, the Company recognizes revenue for individual delivered items if they have value to the customer on a standalone basis. The Company allocates arrangement consideration at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. This method requires the Company to determine the selling price at which each deliverable could be sold if it were sold regularly on a standalone basis. When available, the Company uses vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of the selling price. VSOE represents the price charged for a deliverable when it is sold separately, or for a deliverable not yet being sold separately, the price established by management with the relevant authority. The Company considers VSOE to exist when approximately 80% or more of its standalone sales of an item are priced within a reasonably narrow pricing range (plus or minus 15% of the median rates). The Company has established VSOE of the selling price for its post-installation technical support services and professional services. When VSOE of selling price is not available, third-party evidence ("TPE") of selling price for similar products and services is acceptable; however, the Company's offerings and market strategy differ from those of its competitors, such that it cannot obtain sufficient comparable information about third parties' prices. If neither VSOE nor TPE are available, the Company uses its best estimates of selling prices ("BESP"). The Company determines BESP considering factors such as market conditions, sales channels, internal costs and product margin objectives and pricing practices. The Company regularly reviews and updates its VSOE and BESP information. The relative selling price method allocates total arrangement consideration proportionally to each deliverable on the basis of its estimated selling price. In addition, the amount recognized for any delivered items cannot exceed that which is not contingent upon delivery of any remaining items in the arrangement. The Company also uses the residual method to allocate revenue between the software products that enable incremental equipment functionality, and thus are not deemed to deliver its essential functionality, and the related post-installation technical support, as these products and services continue to be accounted for under software revenue recognition rules. Under the residual method, the amount allocated to the undelivered elements equals VSOE of fair value of these elements. Any remaining amounts are attributed to the delivered items and are recognized when those items are delivered. A portion of the Company's sales are made through multi-year lease agreements. Under sales-type leases, the Company recognizes revenue for its hardware and software products net of lease execution costs such as post-installation product maintenance and technical support, at the net present value of the lease payment stream once its installation obligations have been met. The Company optimizes cash flows by selling a majority of its non-U.S. government leases to third-party leasing finance companies on a non-recourse basis. The Company has no obligation to the leasing company once the lease has been sold. Some of the Company's sales-type leases, mostly those relating to U.S. government hospitals which comprise approximately 45% of the lease receivable balance, are retained in-house. Interest income in these leases is recognized in product revenue using the effective interest method. |
Cash equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents and Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company classifies investments as cash equivalents if their original or remaining contractual maturity is three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to the short period of time to maturity. The Company's cash equivalents are maintained in demand deposit accounts with financial institutions of high credit quality, and are invested in institutional money market funds, short-term bank time deposits and similar short duration instruments with fixed maturities. The Company continuously monitors the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and institutional money market funds in which it invests. The Company has not experienced any credit losses from its cash investments. |
Foreign currency forward contracts and Interest rate swap agreements | Foreign currency forward contracts. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to protect its business from the risk that exchange rates may affect the eventual cash flows resulting from intercompany transactions between Omnicell and its foreign subsidiaries. These transactions primarily arise as a result of products manufactured in the United States ("U.S") and sold to foreign subsidiaries in U.S. dollars rather than the subsidiaries' functional currencies. These forward contracts are considered to be financial derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair values of these financial derivative instruments are either recognized in other comprehensive income or net income depending on whether the derivative has been designated and qualifies as a hedging instrument. Interest rate swap agreements. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements, at their inception, qualified for and were designated as cash flow hedging instruments. In accordance with the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), the Company records its interest rate swaps on its consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of changes in fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion is recognized in earnings. Both at inception and on a quarterly basis, the Company performs an effectiveness test. For further information regarding these interest rate swap agreements, please refer to Note 4, "Cash and Cash Equivalents and Fair Value of Financial Instruments". |
Debt | Debt. The Company has entered into a Credit Agreement which provides for (a) a five-year revolving credit facility and (b) a five-year term loan facility (Facilities). The amount borrowed under these facilities is recorded at its carrying value at December 31, 2016. The fair value at December 31, 2016 approximates the carrying value. |
Accounts receivable and notes receivable from investment in sales-type leases | Accounts receivable and notes receivable from investment in sales-type leases The Company actively manages its accounts receivable to minimize credit risk. The Company typically sells to customers for which there is a history of successful collection. New customers are subject to a credit review process, which evaluates that customer's financial position and ability to pay. The Company continually monitors and evaluates the collectability of its trade receivables based on a combination of factors. The Company records specific allowances for doubtful accounts when it becomes aware of a specific customer's impaired ability to meet its financial obligation to the Company, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration of financial position. There were no significant customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . Uncollectible amounts are charged off against trade receivables and the allowance for doubtful accounts when the Company makes a final determination that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Estimates are used in determining the Company's allowances for all other customers based on factors such as current trends, the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience. While the Company believes that its allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is adequate and that the judgment applied is appropriate, such estimated amounts could differ materially from what will actually be uncollectible in the future. The retained in-house leases discussed above are considered financing receivables. The Company's credit policies and its evaluation of credit risk and write-off policies are applied alike to trade receivables and the net investment in sales-type leases. For both, an account is generally past due after thirty days. The financing receivables also have customer-specific reserves for accounts identified for specific impairment and a non-specific reserve applied to the remaining population, based on factors such as current trends, the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience. The retained in-house leases are not stratified by portfolio or class. |
Sales of accounts receivable | Sales of accounts receivable The Company records the sale of its accounts receivables as "true sales" in accordance with accounting guidance for transfers and servicing of financial assets. |
Inventory | Inventory Inventories for 2016 are stated at the lower of cost (utilizing standard costs, applying the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value, defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Cost elements included in inventory are direct labor and materials plus applied overhead. The Company routinely assesses on-hand inventory for timely identification and measurement of obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise impaired inventory. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence, excess or unmarketable quantities equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than the Company projected, additional inventory write-downs may be required. |
Property and equipment | Property and equipment Property and equipment less accumulated depreciation are stated at historical cost. The Company's expenditures for property and equipment primarily are for computer equipment and software used in the administration of its business, and for leasehold improvements to its leased facilities. The Company also develops molds and dies used in long-term manufacturing arrangements with suppliers and for production automation equipment used in the manufacturing of consumable blister card components. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, as follows: Computer equipment and related software 3 - 5 years Leasehold and building improvements Shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life Furniture and fixtures 5 - 7 years Equipment 3 - 12 years Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment was $15.0 million , $12.8 million and $11.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 , December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. The Company capitalizes costs related to computer software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software . Software obtained for internal use has generally been enterprise-level business and finance software that the Company customizes to meet its specific operational needs. Costs incurred in the application development phase are capitalized and amortized over their useful lives, which is generally five years. Costs recognized in the preliminary project phase and the post-implementation phase are expensed as incurred. |
Software development costs | Software development costs The Company capitalizes software development costs in accordance with ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed , under which certain software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility may be capitalized and amortized over the estimated lives of the related products. The Company establishes feasibility when it completes a working model and amortizes development costs over the estimated lives of the related products ranging from three to five years. The Company capitalized software development costs of $14.3 million and $12.1 million which are included in other assets as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The Company recorded $7.1 million , $5.8 million and $4.4 million to cost of revenues for amortization of capitalized software development costs for the years ended December 31, 2016 , December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. All development costs prior to the completion of a working model are recognized as research and development expense. |
Deferred revenue | Deferred revenue Deferred revenue arise when customers have been billed and/or have received products and/or services in advance of revenue recognition. The Company's deferred revenue, net, presented as short term consists primarily of (i) unearned revenue on sale of equipment for which installation has not been completed, net of deferred cost of sales for such equipment, and (ii) the current portion of unearned service contracts for which revenue is recognized over their duration. |
Business combinations | Business combinations The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting under the authoritative guidance on business combinations. Each acquired company’s operating results are included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements starting on the date of acquisition. The purchase price is equivalent to the fair value of consideration transferred. Tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition are recorded at the acquisition date fair value. Goodwill is recognized for the excess of purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Amounts allocated to assets and liabilities are based upon fair values. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to the identifiable intangible assets. Management makes estimates of fair value based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable and that of a market participant. These estimates are based on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and the estimates are inherently uncertain. The separately identifiable intangible assets generally include customer relationships, technology, and trade names. |
Goodwill and intangible assets | Goodwill and intangible assets Goodwill. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on the first day of the fourth quarter of each year at the reporting unit level. The Company's reporting units are the same as its operating segments, which are Automation and Analytics and Medication Adherence. A qualitative assessment is initially made to determine whether it is necessary to perform quantitative testing. This initial assessment includes, among others, consideration of: (i) past, current and projected future earnings and equity; (ii) recent trends and market conditions; and (iii) valuation metrics involving similar companies that are publicly-traded and acquisitions of similar companies, if available. If this initial qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that impairment exists, or if the Company decides to bypass this option, it proceeds to a two-step impairment test. The first step ("Step 1") involves a comparison between the estimated fair values of the Company's reporting units with their respective carrying amounts including goodwill. The methods for estimating reporting unit values include asset and liability fair values and other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flows and multiples of earnings or revenues. If the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, there is an indication of potential impairment, and the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment. The second step involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting units over the aggregate estimated fair values of the individual assets less liabilities. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. To determine each reporting unit's fair value in the second step, the Company uses the income approach which is based on the estimated discounted future cash flows of that reporting unit. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit under the income approach is corroborated with the market approach, which measures the value of a business through an analysis of recent sales or offerings of a comparable entity. The Company also considers its market capitalization on the date of the analysis to ensure the reasonableness of the sum of its reporting units’ estimated fair value. The Company performed a Step 1 impairment analysis as of October 1, 2016 for its Medication Adherence reporting unit. The Company determined that the fair value of this reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by more than 25%, and thus no impairment was indicated. Additionally, the Company performed a Step 0 impairment assessment analysis as of October 1, 2016 for its Automation and Analytics reporting unit taking into consideration past, current and projected future earnings, recent trends and market conditions; and valuation metrics involving similar companies that are publicly-traded. Based on the result of this analysis it is more likely than not an impairment does not e xist. Intangible assets. In connection with the Company's acquisitions, it generally recognizes assets for customer relationships, technology and trade names. Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Such amortization is provided on a straight-line basis or on an accelerated basis based on a pattern of economic benefit that is expected to be obtained over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally from 1 to 30 years. Amortization for developed technology and backlog is recognized in cost of product revenues, and amortization for customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and trade names is recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset is measured by the comparison of the carrying amount to the sum of the undiscounted estimated future cash flows the asset is expected to generate, offset by estimated future costs to dispose of the product to which the asset relates. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of such impairment would be measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value. The Company's cash flow assumptions are based on historical and forecasted future revenue, operating costs, and other relevant factors. Assumptions and estimates about the remaining useful lives of the Company's intangible assets are subjective and are affected by changes to its business strategies. If management’s estimates of future operating results change, or if there are changes to other assumptions, the estimate of the fair value of the Company's assets could change significantly. Such change could result in impairment charges in future periods, which could have a significant impact on the Company's operating results and financial condition. |
Valuation of share-based awards | Valuation of share-based awards The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). The Company recognizes compensation expense related to stock-based compensation based on the grant date estimated fair value. The Company amortizes the fair value of the employee stock awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based compensation awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the following inputs: expected life, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield rate, exercise price, and closing price of its common stock on the date of grant. The expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility, and the expected life of the awards is based on the Company's historical experience of employee stock option exercises, including forfeitures. The valuation assumptions used in estimating the fair value of employee share-based awards may change in future periods. The Company calculates its pool of excess tax benefits available within additional paid-in capital in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. |
Accounting for income tax | Accounting for income taxes The Company records an income tax provision (benefit) for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the provision for (benefit from income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating losses and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the periods in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. In the event that these tax rates change, the Company will incur a benefit or detriment on its income tax expense in the period of change. If the Company were to determine that all or part of the net deferred tax assets are not realizable in the future, it will record a valuation allowance that would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes , the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties in the application of U.S. GAAP and complex tax laws. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with management’s expectations could have a material impact on our financial condition and operating results. |
Commissions | Commissions Sales commissions are incremental and directly related to customer sales contracts in which revenue is deferred. These commission costs are accrued and recorded in prepaid expenses upon execution of a non-cancelable customer contract and subsequently expensed in the period of revenue recognition. |
Shipping costs | Shipping costs Outbound freight billed to customers is recorded as product revenue. The related shipping and handling costs are expensed as part of selling, general and administrative expense. |
Recently adopted accounting standards and recently issued authoritative guidance | Recently adopted accounting standards In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) — Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those years, with retrospective application required along with certain disclosures about the change in accounting principle, including the effect of the change on the financial statement line items. As required under ASU 2015-03 the Company has presented the deferred issuance cost related to the debt facilities of $7.9 million as a reduction of the debt liability. Refer to Note 8, Debt and Credit Agreement, for additional information. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05 , Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software - Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement , which provides guidance on determining whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The Company adopted ASU 2015-05 on a prospective basis beginning on January 1, 2016. The impact of ASU 2015-05 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This ASU changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. It applies to entities that measure inventory using a method other than last-in, first-out (LIFO) and the retail inventory method (RIM). The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted ASU 2015-11 on a prospective basis beginning on January 1, 2016. The impact of ASU 2015-11 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. T his ASU requires adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period of a business combination to be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. An acquirer is no longer required to revise comparative information for prior periods as if the accounting for the business combination had been completed as of the acquisition date. The provisions of ASU 2015-16 are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this accounting standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. Recently issued authoritative guidance In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). Under the new guidance, an entity is required to recognize an amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The original effective date for the ASU would have required the Company to adopt the standard beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2017. In July 2015, the FASB voted to amend ASU 2014-09 by approving a one-year deferral of the effective date as well as providing the option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. Additionally, during 2016 the FASB issued several final ASUs to provide clarifications for the new revenue standard. These final ASU's were issued in March 2016, ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), in April 2016, ASU No. 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, in May 2016, ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients and in December 2016, ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. All of these amendments have the same effective date as Topic 606, the new revenue standard. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the standard in its first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of adopting this new guidance. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The FASB amended lease accounting requirements to begin recording assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance will also require significant additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows from leases. This new guidance will be effective for us beginning on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The provisions of ASU 2016-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments are reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , that modifies or replaces existing models for trade and other receivables, debt securities, loans and certain other financial instruments. For instruments measured at amortized cost, including trade and lease receivables, loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, the standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model. Entities will be required to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the instrument, considering available relevant information about the collectibility of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years and will be applied prospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first reporting period for which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16 , Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which reduces the complexity in the accounting standards by allowing the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. Historically, recognition of the income tax consequence was not recognized until the asset was sold to an outside party. This amendment should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-16 will have on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which reduces the population of transactions that will be identified as businesses vs. assets for purposes of acquisition and disposal accounting. The standard provides an initial screen which excludes from the business definition any transaction where substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single (or group of similar) identifiable assets. Transactions which pass the initial screen must still contain inputs and a substantive process to meet the new business definition. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, with prospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2017-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , that eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (Step 2 of today’s goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (measure the charge based on today’s Step 1). There is no change to the optional Step 0 for qualitative assessment of impairment. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim impairment dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2017-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets. This ASU clarifies the scope and application of ASC 610-20 on the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales. The effective date of the ASU 2017-05 amendments to the nonfinancial asset guidance must coincide with the adoption of the ASU 2014-09 revenue standard (expected in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018), but the transition method does not have to be the same. Transition can use either the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2017-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements. There was no other recently issued and effective authoritative guidance that is expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements through the reporting date. |
Fair value | Fair value hierarchy The Company measures its financial instruments at fair value. The Company’s cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued primarily using quoted market prices utilizing market observable inputs. The Company's interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency contracts are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments. |
Guarantees | Guarantees As permitted under Delaware law and the Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the Company has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers against certain losses that they may suffer by reason of the fact that such persons are, were or become its directors or officers. The term of the indemnification period is for the director’s or officer’s lifetime and there is no limit on the potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements. The Company has purchased a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that may enable it to recover a portion of any future payments that it may be required to make under these indemnification agreements. Assuming the applicability of coverage and the willingness of the insurer to assume coverage and subject to certain retention, loss limits and other policy provisions, the Company believes it is unlikely that the Company will be required to pay any material amounts pursuant to these indemnification obligations. However, no assurances can be given that the insurers will not attempt to dispute the validity, applicability or amount of coverage without expensive and time-consuming litigation against the insurers. Additionally, the Company undertakes indemnification obligations in its ordinary course of business in connection with, among other things, the licensing of its products and the provision of its support services. In the ordinary course of the Company's business, the Company has in the past and may in the future agree to indemnify another party, generally its business affiliates or customers, against certain losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with various types of claims, which may include, without limitation, claims of intellectual property infringement, certain tax liabilities, its gross negligence or intentional acts in the performance of support services and violations of laws. The term of these indemnification obligations is generally perpetual. In general, the Company attempts to limit the maximum potential amount of future payments that it may be required to make under these indemnification obligations to the amounts paid to it by a customer, but in some cases the obligation may not be so limited. In addition, the Company has in the past and may in the future warrant to its customers that its products will conform to functional specifications for a limited period of time following the date of installation (generally not exceeding 30 days) or that its software media is free from material defects. Sales contracts for certain of the Company's medication packaging systems often include limited warranties for up to six months, but the periodic activity and ending warranty balances the Company records have historically been immaterial. From time to time, the Company may also warrant that its professional services will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner or in a professional manner consistent with industry standards. The Company generally seeks to disclaim most warranties, including any implied or statutory warranties such as warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quality and non-infringement, as well as any liability with respect to incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or similar damages. In some states, such disclaimers may not be enforceable. If necessary, the Company would provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history. The Company has not been subject to any significant claims for such losses and have not incurred any material costs in defending or settling claims related to these indemnification obligations. Accordingly, the Company believes it is unlikely that the Company will be required to pay any material amounts pursuant to these indemnification obligations or potential warranty claims and, therefore, no material liabilities have been recorded for such indemnification obligations as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . |
