| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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. |
| 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; impairment of goodwill; purchased intangibles and long-lived assets; fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combination; share-based compensation; and accounting for income taxes. |
| Segment Reporting | 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 14 , Segment and Geographical Information , for additional information on segment reporting. |
| 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 (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are remeasured into the respective entity’s functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period, and non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are recorded in interest and other income (expense). |
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company earns revenues from sales of its medication and supply dispensing automation systems, along with consumables and related services, which are sold in the healthcare industry, its principal market. The transaction price of each contract with a customer is allocated to the identified performance obligations based on the relative fair value of each obligation. The Company’s customer arrangements typically include one or more of the following performance obligations: 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 the Company’s equipment or services. Installation. Installation of equipment as integrated systems at customer sites. Post-installation technical support. Phone support, on-site service, parts, and access to unspecified software updates and enhancements, if and when available. Professional services. Other customer services, such as training and consulting. Prior to recognizing revenue, the Company identifies the contract, performance obligations, and transaction price, and allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations. All identified contracts meet the following required criteria: Parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally, or in accordance with other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations. A majority of the Company’s contracts are evidenced by a non-cancelable written agreement. Contracts for consumable products are generally evidenced by an order placed via phone or a manual purchase order. Entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred . Contract terms are documented within the written agreements. Where a written contract does not exist, such as for consumable products, the rights of each party are understood as following the Company’s standard business process and terms. The entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred . Payment terms are documented within the agreement and are generally net 30 days from shipment of tangible product or services performed. Where a written contract does not exist, the Company’s standard payment terms are net 30 day terms. The contract has commercial substance (that is the risk, timing, or amount of the entity’s future cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract.) The Company’s agreements are an exchange of cash for a combination of products and services which result in changes in the amount of the Company’s future cash flows. It is probable the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer . The Company performs a credit check for all significant customers or transactions and where collectability is not probable, payment in full or a substantial down payment is typically required to help assure the full agreed upon contract price will be collected. The Company often enters into change orders which modify the product to be received by the customer pursuant to certain contracts. Changes to any contract are accounted for as a modification of the existing contract to the extent the goods and services to be delivered as part of the contract are generally consistent with the nature and type of those to be provided under the terms of the original contract. Examples of such change orders include the addition or removal of units of equipment or changes to the configuration of the equipment where the overall nature of the contract remains intact. The Company’s change orders generally result in the change being accounted for as modifications of existing contracts given the nature of the impacted orders. Distinct goods or services are identified as performance obligations. A series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer are considered a single performance obligation. Where a good or service is determined not to be distinct, the Company combines the good or service with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services that is distinct is identified. To identify its performance obligations, the Company considers all of the products or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. When performance obligations are included in separate contracts, the Company considers an entire customer arrangement to determine if separate contracts should be considered combined for the purposes of revenue recognition. Most of the Company’s sales, other than renewals of support and maintenance, contain multiple performance obligations, with a combination of hardware systems, consumables and software products, support and maintenance, and professional services. The transaction price of a contract is determined based on the fixed consideration, net of an estimate for variable consideration such as various discounts or rebates provided to customers. As a result of the Company’s commercial selling practices, contract prices are generally fixed with minimal, if any, variable consideration. The transaction price is allocated to separate performance obligations proportionally based on the standalone selling price of each performance obligation. Standalone selling price is best evidenced by the price the Company charges for the good or service when selling it separately in similar circumstances to similar customers. Other than for the renewal of annual support services contracts, the Company’s products and services are not generally sold separately. The Company uses an amount discounted from the list price as a best estimated selling price. The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligation has been satisfied by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. The good or service is transferred when or as the customer obtains control of the good or service. Determining when control transfers requires management to make judgments that affect the timing of revenues recognized. Generally, for products requiring a complex implementation, control passes when the product is installed and ready for use. For all other products, control generally passes when product has been shipped and title has passed. For maintenance contracts and certain other services provided on a subscription basis, control passes to the customer over time, generally ratably over the service term as the Company provides a stand-ready service to service the customer’s equipment. Time and material services transfer control to the customer at the time the services are provided. The portion of the transaction price allocated to the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligations recorded as deferred revenues, net of deferred cost of goods sold, at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $92.4 million and $89.4 million , respectively, of which $81.8 million and $78.8 million , respectively, are expected to be completed within one year. Remaining performance obligations primarily relate to maintenance contracts and are recognized ratably over the remaining term of the contract, generally not more than five years. Revenues, contract assets, and contract liabilities are recorded net of associated taxes. The payment terms associated with the Company’s contracts vary, however, payment terms for product revenues are generally based on milestones tied to contract signing, shipment of products, and/or customer acceptance. Payment terms associated with the service portion of agreements are generally periodic and can be billed on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. In certain circumstances multiple years are billed at one time. The portion of these contract liabilities not expected to be recognized as revenue within twelve months of the balance sheet date are considered long term. In the normal course of business, the Company typically does not accept product returns unless the item is defective as manufactured or the configuration of the product is incorrect. The Company establishes provisions for estimated returns based on historical product returns. The allowance for sales returns is not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements for any periods presented. 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 49% of the lease receivable balance, are retained in-house. Revenues from sales-type leases of $39.2 million , $29.6 million , and $34.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , December 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 respectively, are included in product revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest income in these leases is recognized in product revenues using the effective interest method. The Company contracts with Group Purchasing Organizations (“GPOs”), each of which functions as a purchasing agent on behalf of member hospitals and other healthcare providers, as well as with government entities and agencies. Pursuant to the terms of GPO agreements, each member contracts directly with Omnicell and can purchase Company’s product at pre-negotiated contract terms and pricing. GPOs are often owned fully or in part by the Company’s customers, and the Company pays fees to the GPO on completed contracts. The Company considers these fees consideration paid to customers and records them as reductions to revenue. Fees to GPOs were $8.7 million , $7.4 million , and $8.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , December 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The accounts receivable balances are with individual members of the GPOs, and therefore no significant concentration of credit risk exists. During the year ended December 31, 2018 , sales to members of the ten largest GPOs accounted for approximately 59% of total consolidated revenue. Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities A contract asset is a right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer when that right is conditional and is not just subject to the passage of time. A receivable will be recorded on the balance sheet when the Company has unconditional rights to consideration. A contract liability is an obligation to transfer goods or services for which the Company has received consideration, or for which an amount of consideration is due from the customer. Contract liabilities include customer deposits under non-cancelable contracts, and current and non-current deferred revenue balances. The Company’s contract balances are reported in a net contract asset or liability position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The following table reflects the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities: December 31, December 31, (In thousands) Short-term unbilled receivables - included in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables $ 9,191 $ 4,590 Long-term unbilled receivables - included in other long-term assets 16,481 9,475 Total contract assets $ 25,672 $ 14,065 Short-term deferred revenues, net $ 81,835 $ 78,774 Long-term deferred revenues 10,582 10,623 Total contract liabilities $ 92,417 $ 89,397 Significant changes in the contract assets and the contract liabilities balances during the period are the result of the issuance of invoices and recognition of deferred revenues in the normal course of business. Unbilled contract assets which were invoiced during the year ended December 31, 2018 as a result of the right to invoice for the transaction consideration becoming unconditional were not material. The contract modifications entered into during the year ended December 31, 2018 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s contract assets or deferred revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2018 , the Company recognized revenues of $85.7 million that were included in the corresponding gross short-term deferred revenue balance of $95.7 million as of December 31, 2017 . Contract Costs The Company has determined that the incentive portions of its sales commission plans require capitalization since these payments are directly related to sales achieved during a time period. These commissions are earned on the basis of the total purchase order value of new product bookings. Since there are not commensurate commissions earned on renewal of the service bookings, the Company concluded that the capitalized asset is related to services provided under both the initial contract and renewal periods. The Company applies a practical expedient to account for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as part of a portfolio of contracts with similar characteristics as the Company expects the effect on the financial statements of applying the practical expedient would not differ materially from applying the accounting guidance to the individual contracts within the portfolio. A pool of contracts is defined as all contracts booked in a particular quarter. The amortization for the capitalized asset is an estimate of the pool’s original contract term, generally one to five years, plus an estimate of future customer renewal periods resulting in a total amortization period of ten years. Costs to obtain a contract are allocated amongst performance obligations and recognized as sales and marketing expense consistent with the pattern of revenue recognition. Capitalized costs are periodically reviewed for impairment. A portion of the pool’s capitalized asset is recorded as an expense over the first two quarters after booking, which represents the estimated period during which the product revenue associated with the contract is recorded. The remaining contract cost is recorded as expense ratably over the ten year estimated initial and renewal service periods. The Company recognized contract cost expense of $21.1 million , $17.9 million , and $18.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2018 , December 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The commission expenses paid as of the consolidated balance sheet date to be recognized in future periods are recorded in long-term prepaid commissions on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was no impairment loss recorded related to capitalized prepaid commissions as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 . |
| 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 balances are maintained in demand deposit accounts with financial institutions of high credit quality. The Company continuously monitors the credit worthiness of the financial institutions 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 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. At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the Company had no outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts. Interest rate swap agreements. During 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement. The interest rate swap agreement, at its inception, qualified for and were designated as cash flow hedging instrument. In accordance with the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the Accounting Standards Codification, 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. On a quarterly basis, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine effectiveness. |
| 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, 2018 . The fair value of debt at December 31, 2018 approximates the carrying value. |
| Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Notes Receivables From Investment in Sales-Types Leases | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Notes Receivables from Investment in Sales-Type Leases The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company records a specific allowance based on an analysis of individual past-due balances. Additionally, based on historical write-offs and the Company’s collection experience, the Company records an additional allowance based on a percentage of outstanding receivables. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. These evaluations require significant judgment and are based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, current economic trends, payment history and a financial review of the customer. Actual collection losses may differ from management’s estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations. There were no customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . 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 in accordance with accounting guidance for transfers and servicing of financial assets. |
| Inventory | Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, computed using the first-in, first-out method, and net realizable value. Inbound shipping costs are included in cost of inventory. The Company regularly monitors inventory quantities on hand and records write-downs for excess and obsolete inventories based on the Company’s estimate of demand for its products, potential obsolescence of technology, product life cycles, and whether pricing trends or forecasts indicate that the carrying value of inventory exceeds its estimated selling price. These factors are impacted by market and economic conditions, technology changes, and new product introductions and require estimates that may include elements that are uncertain. Actual demand may differ from forecasted demand and may have a material effect on gross margins. If inventory is written down, a new cost basis is established that cannot be increased in future periods. Shipments from suppliers or contract manufacturers before the Company receives them are recorded as in-transit inventory when title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the Company. |
| 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 are primarily 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 is computed by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as stated below: 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 $15.1 million , $16.2 million , and $15.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , December 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , 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 $30.7 million and $15.0 million , which are included in other assets as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The Company recorded $12.5 million , $9.7 million , and $7.1 million to cost of revenues for amortization of capitalized software development costs for the years ended December 31, 2018 , December 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , respectively. All development costs prior to the completion of a working model are recognized as research and development expense. |
| 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 Acquired Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Acquired 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. This assessment is also performed whenever there is a change in circumstances that indicates the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. 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. A qualitative 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 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 the quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment involves a comparison between the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units with their respective carrying amounts including goodwill. If the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, the Company will record an impairment charge based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. To determine each reporting unit’s fair value under the quantitative approach, the Company uses a combination of income and market approaches, equally weighting the two approaches, such as estimated discounted future cash flows of that reporting unit, multiples of earnings or revenues, and analysis of recent sales or offerings of comparable entities. The Company also considers its market capitalization on the date of the analysis to ensure the reasonableness of the sum of its reporting units’ fair value. The Company performed a quantitative impairment analysis as of October 1, 2018 for its Medication Adherence reporting unit. The Company determined that the fair value of this reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by more than 41% , and thus no impairment was indicated. Additionally, the Company performed a qualitative impairment assessment analysis as of October 1, 2018 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, an impairment does not exist as of December 31, 2018 . Intangible assets. In connection with the Company’s acquisitions, it generally recognizes assets for customer relationships, backlog, developed 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 one to 30 years. Amortization for developed technology and backlog is recognized in cost of 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. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , there were no events or changes in circumstances to indicate that intangible assets carrying amounts may not be recoverable. |
| Valuation of Share-Based Awards | Valuation of Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation . The Company recognizes compensation expense related to share-based compensation based on the grant date estimated fair value. The fair value of stock options (“options”) on the grant date is estimated 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. Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is based on the stock price on the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) is their intrinsic value, which is the difference between the fair value of the underlying stock at the measurement date and the purchase price. The RSUs and RSAs are subject to a service vesting condition and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The fair value of performance-based stock unit awards (“PSUs”) with service and market conditions is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model applying multiple awards approach. Expense is recognized when it is probable that the performance condition will be met using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period. The valuation assumptions used in estimating the fair value of employee share-based awards may change in future periods. |
| Accounting for Income Taxes | Accounting for Income Taxes The Company records an income tax provision for (benefit from) 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 carryforwards. 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 the Company’s financial condition and operating results. |
| 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 Authoritative Guidance In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer s, a new standard related to revenue recognition. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (modified retrospective method). The Company adopted the standard using the full retrospective method effective beginning January 1, 2018. Under the ASC 606 guidance, fees paid to GPOs are now presented as a reduction of product revenues, whereas these fees were considered a part of selling, general, and administrative costs under the previous guidance. The majority of the incremental costs incurred to obtain a contract, primarily commission expense, are recognized during the first year with the balance recognized ratably over a period of ten years. Additionally, revenue on term software licenses is recognized upon installation of the license rather than ratably over the life of the term license. Finally, the Company no longer defers the contingent revenue in transactions where the amount charged to the customer for a particular performance obligation is less than the allocation of standalone selling price. Adoption of the standard related to revenue recognition impacted the Company’s reported results as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2017 As Reported Adjustment As Adjusted (In thousands, except per share data) Revenues Automation and Analytics $ 590,392 $ (3,451 ) $ 586,941 Medication Adherence 125,773 — 125,773 Gross profit Automation and Analytics 281,949 (3,451 ) 278,498 Medication Adherence 40,139 — 40,139 Selling, general, and administrative expenses 250,312 (8,842 ) 241,470 Provision for (benefit from) income taxes (21,484 ) (4,522 ) (26,006 ) Net income $ 20,605 $ 9,913 $ 30,518 Net income per share - basic $ 0.55 $ 0.26 $ 0.81 Net income per share - diluted $ 0.53 $ 0.26 $ 0.79 Year Ended December 31, 2016 As Reported Adjustment As Adjusted (In thousands, except per share data) Revenues Automation and Analytics $ 593,626 $ 3,285 $ 596,911 Medication Adherence 98,997 — 98,997 Gross profit Automation and Analytics 282,659 3,285 285,944 Medication Adherence 31,141 — 31,141 Selling, general, and administrative expenses 249,520 (11,639 ) 237,881 Provision for (benefit from) income taxes (2,551 ) 5,771 3,220 Net income $ 603 $ 9,153 $ 9,756 Net income per share - basic $ 0.02 $ 0.25 $ 0.27 Net income per share - diluted $ 0.02 $ 0.24 $ 0.26 December 31, 2017 As Reported Adjustment As Adjusted (In thousands) Accounts receivable and unbilled receivables, net $ 189,227 $ 819 $ 190,046 Prepaid expenses 36,060 (15,668 ) 20,392 Prepaid commissions — 41,432 41,432 Other long-term assets 39,841 9,475 49,316 Deferred revenues, net 86,104 (7,330 ) 78,774 Long-term, deferred revenues 17,244 (6,621 ) 10,623 Long-term, deferred tax liabilities 28,579 12,867 41,446 Stockholders’ equity 517,199 37,142 554,341 In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement , which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance effective beginning July 1, 2018. The application of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Authoritative Guidance In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The FASB amended lease accounting requirements to begin recording assets and liabilities arising from most leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance will also require significant additional disclosures about the amount and timing of cash flows from leases. This new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. In July 2018, the FASB issued amendments in ASU 2018-11, which provide a transition election to not restate comparative periods for the effects of applying the new standard. This transition election permits entities to change the date of initial application to the beginning of the year of adoption and to recognize the effects of applying the new standard as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company will elect this transition approach as well as elect the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which will allow the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification of contracts entered into prior to January 1, 2019. The Company will also elect to combine lease and non-lease components, and to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet and recognize the associated lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s adoption of the new standard is estimated to result in the recognition of right-of-use assets and offsetting lease liabilities for operating leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of approximately $66.0 million and $70.0 million , respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities is primarily due to the existing deferred rent liabilities balance, resulting from historical straight-lining of operating leases, which was effectively reclassified upon adoption to reduce the measurement of the right-of-use assets. Adoption of the standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s stockholders’ equity, and is not expected to materially impact the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which permits the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) on items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. These amounts are commonly referred to as “stranded tax effects.” ASU 2018-02 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The Company does not expect application of this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract , to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2018-15 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements through the reporting date. |
| Fair Value Measurement | 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 has not incurred any material costs in defending or settling claims related to these indemnification obligations. |
