Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2017 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017 (fiscal year 2017 ), filed with the SEC on February 28, 2018 . The results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2018 (fiscal year 2018 ) or for any other interim period or for any future year. As further discussed below in this Note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09) effective December 31, 2017. All prior period amounts and disclosures set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been updated to comply with the new standard, as indicated by the “as adjusted” notation. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In accordance with GAAP, current authoritative guidance is applied when determining whether an entity is subject to consolidation. ___________________________________________ 1 The use of the trademark Patient SafetyNet is under license from the University HealthSystem Consortium. Fiscal Periods The Company follows a conventional 52/53 week fiscal year. Under a conventional 52/53 week fiscal year, a 52 week fiscal year includes four quarters of 13 fiscal weeks while a 53 week fiscal year includes three 13 fiscal week quarters and one 14 fiscal week quarter. The Company’s last 53 week fiscal year was fiscal year 2014. Fiscal year 2018 is a 52 week fiscal year. All references to years in these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements are fiscal years unless otherwise noted. Use of Estimates The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include the determination of accounts receivable allowances, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, rebate accruals, valuation of the Company’s stock options, goodwill valuation, deferred taxes and any associated valuation allowances, royalty revenues, deferred revenue, deferred costs, uncertain income tax positions, litigation costs and related accruals. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Fair Value Measurements Authoritative guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value: ● Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ● Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. ● Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Pursuant to current authoritative guidance, entities are allowed an irrevocable option to elect the fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for specified financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option under this guidance to specific assets or liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs during the six months ended June 30, 2018 . The Company carries cash and cash equivalents at cost, which approximates fair value. As of June 30, 2018 and December 30, 2017 , the Company had an insignificant amount of other financial assets that were required to be measured under the fair value hierarchy, the measurement of which were based on level 1 and level 2 inputs. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity from date of purchase of three months or less , or highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables recorded upon recognition of revenue for product revenues, reduced by reserves for estimated bad debts and returns. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. Collateral is generally not required. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on historical write-off experience, current customer information and other relevant factors, including specific identification of past due accounts, based on the age of the receivable in excess of the contemplated or contractual due date. Accounts are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes they are uncollectible. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using a standard cost method, which approximates the first in, first out method, and includes material, labor and overhead costs. Inventory reserves are recorded for inventory items that have become excess or obsolete or are no longer used in current production and for inventory items that have a market price less than carrying value in inventory. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows: Useful Lives Aircraft and components 10 to 20 years Buildings 39 years Building improvements 7 to 15 years Computer equipment 2 to 6 years Demonstration units 3 years Furniture and office equipment 2 to 6 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful life or term of lease Machinery and equipment 5 to 10 years Tooling 3 years Vehicles 5 years Land is not depreciated and construction-in-progress is not depreciated until placed in service. Normal repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, whereas significant improvements that materially increase values or extend useful lives are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful lives of the related assets. Upon sale or retirement of depreciable assets, the related cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on the sale or retirement is recognized in income. Intangible Assets The Company’s policy is to renew its patents and trademarks. Total renewal costs for patents and trademarks for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017 were $0.2 million and $0.3 million , respectively. As of June 30, 2018 , the weighted-average number of years until the next renewal was one year for patents and six years for trademarks. Costs to renew patents and trademarks are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the intangible asset. The Company continually evaluates the amortization period and carrying basis of patents and trademarks to determine whether any events or circumstances warrant a revised estimated useful life or reduction in value. Capitalized application costs are charged to operations when it is determined that the patent or trademark will not be obtained or is abandoned. Impairment of Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. In assessing goodwill impairment for each of its reporting units, the Company has the option to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company’s qualitative assessment of the recoverability of goodwill considers various macroeconomic, industry-specific and Company-specific factors, including: (i) severe adverse industry or economic trends; (ii) significant Company-specific actions; (iii) current, historical or projected deterioration of the Company’s financial performance; or (iv) a sustained decrease in the Company’s market capitalization below its net book value. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is unlikely that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative analysis is unnecessary. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, or if the Company elects to bypass the qualitative analysis, then the Company must perform a quantitative analysis that compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired; otherwise, a goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the lesser of: (a) the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value; or (b) the amount of the goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The annual impairment test is performed during the fourth fiscal quarter. The Company reviews long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No impairment of goodwill, intangible assets or other long-lived assets was recorded during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017 . Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue Effective December 31, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers . Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 (ASC 606) provides a single, principles-based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. ASC 606 generally provides for the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, net of allowances for estimated returns, discounts or sales incentives, as well as taxes collected from customers that are remitted to government authorities, when control over the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer. The Company derives the majority of its product revenue from four primary sources: (i) direct sales under long-term sensor contracts (LT Sensor Contracts) with end-user hospitals where the Company provides up-front monitoring equipment at no up-front charge in exchange for a multi-year sensor purchase commitment, (ii) other direct sales of noninvasive monitoring solutions to end-user hospitals, emergency medical response organizations and other direct customers; (iii) sales of noninvasive monitoring solutions to distributors who then typically resell to end-user hospitals, emergency medical response organizations and other customers; and (iv) sales of integrated circuit boards to OEM customers who incorporate the Company’s embedded software technology into their multiparameter monitoring devices. Subject to customer credit considerations, the majority of such sales are made on open account using industry standard payment terms based on the geography within which the specific customer is located. The Company enters into agreements to sell its monitoring solutions and services, sometimes as a part of arrangements with multiple performance obligations that include various combinations of product sales, equipment leases and services. In the case of contracts with multiple performance obligations, the authoritative guidance provides that the total consideration be allocated to each performance obligation on the basis of relative standalone selling prices. When a standalone selling price is not readily observable, the Company estimates the standalone selling price by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, features and functionality of the product, geographies, type of customer, contractual prices pursuant to Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) contracts, the Company’s pricing and discount practices, and other market conditions. While the majority of the Company’s revenue contracts and transactions contain standard business terms and conditions, there are some transactions that contain non-standard business terms and conditions. As a result, contract interpretation, judgment and analysis is required to determine the appropriate accounting, including: (i) the amount of the total consideration, including variable consideration, (ii) how the arrangement consideration should be allocated to each performance obligation when multiple performance obligations exist, including the determination of standalone selling price, (iii) when to recognize revenue on the performance obligations, and (iv) whether uncompleted performance obligations are essential to the functionality of the completed performance obligations. Changes in judgments on these assumptions and estimates could materially impact the timing of revenue recognition. Sales under LT Sensor Contracts are generally structured such that the Company agrees to provide at no up-front charge certain monitoring-related equipment, software, installation, training and/or warranty support in exchange for the hospital’s agreement to purchase sensors over the term of the agreement, which generally ranges from three to six years. The Company generally recognizes revenue for performance obligations related to software parameters under LT Sensor Contracts with fixed annual commitments at the time such software is delivered to the customer. Revenue allocable to performance obligations related to sensor sales and monitoring-related equipment leased under LT Sensor Contracts is generally recognized as the sensors are delivered to the customer over the life of the contract. Revenue from direct sales of products to the Company’s end-user hospitals, emergency medical response organizations and other direct customers, as well as to its distributors, is generally recognized upon shipment or delivery to the customer based on the terms of the contract or underlying purchase order. The Company also earns revenue from the sale of integrated circuit boards and other products, as well as from software parameter licenses, to OEMs under various agreements. Revenue from the sale of products to the OEMs is generally recognized at the time of shipment. Revenue related to software licenses to OEMs is generally recognized upon shipment of the OEM’s product to its customers, as represented to the Company by the OEM. The Company provides certain customers with various sales incentives that may take the form of discounts or rebates. The Company estimates and provides allowances for these programs as a reduction to revenue at the time of sale. In general, customers do not have a right of return for credit or refund. However, the Company allows returns under certain circumstances. At the end of each period, the Company estimates and accrues for these returns as a reduction to revenue. The Company estimates the revenue constraints related to these forms of variable consideration based on various factors, including expected purchasing volumes, prior sales and returns history, and specific contractual terms and limitations. The majority of the Company’s royalty and other revenue arises from an agreement with Medtronic plc (Medtronic, formerly Covidien Ltd.) that provides for quarterly royalty payments to the Company based upon U.S. sales of certain Medtronic products. An estimate of these royalty revenues is recorded quarterly in the period earned based on historical results, adjusted for any new information or trends known to management at the time of estimation. This estimated revenue is adjusted prospectively when the Company receives the Medtronic royalty report, approximately sixty days after the end of the previous quarter. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017 , the Company recognized royalty revenue pursuant to this agreement of approximately $9.1 million and $9.2 million , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017 , the Company recognized royalty revenue pursuant to this agreement of approximately $17.2 million and $17.4 million , respectively. From time-to-time, the Company also recognizes revenue related to non-recurring engineering (NRE) services provided to certain OEM customers. NRE revenue is generally recognized on a proportionate basis as the costs of performing such services are incurred by the Company. Shipping and Handling Costs and Fees All shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Charges for shipping and handling billed to customers are included as a component of product revenue in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance. Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Pursuant to authoritative guidance, the Company’s policy is to present revenue net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. Deferred Costs and Other Contract Assets The costs of monitoring-related equipment leased to hospitals under LT Sensor Contracts are generally deferred and amortized to cost of goods sold over the life of the underlying contracts. Some of the Company’s LT Sensor Contracts also contain provisions for certain payments to be made directly to the end-user hospital customer at the inception of the arrangement. These contractual incentive payments are generally deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis as contra-revenue over the life of the underlying LT Sensor Contract. The Company records an unbilled contract receivable related to software delivered under LT Sensor Contracts with fixed annual commitments until such amounts are billed to the customer, which generally occurs at the time of delivery of the sensors over the term of the LT Sensor Contract. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer are capitalized and deferred if the Company expects such costs to be recoverable over the life of the contract and the contract term is greater than one year. Such deferred costs generally relate to certain incentive sales commissions earned by the Company’s internal sales team in connection with the execution of LT Sensor Contracts and are amortized to expense over the expected term of the underlying contract. Product Warranty The Company generally provides a warranty against defects in material and workmanship for a period ranging from six to forty-eight months, depending on the product type. In traditional sales activities, including direct and OEM sales, the Company establishes an accrued liability for the estimated warranty costs at the time of revenue recognition, with a corresponding provision to cost of sales. Customers may also purchase extended warranty coverage separately or as part of a LT Sensor Contract. Revenue related to extended warranty coverage is recognized over the extended life of the contract, which is reasonably expected to be the period over which such services will be provided. The related extended warranty costs are expensed as incurred. Changes in the product warranty accrual were as follows (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, July 1, Warranty accrual, beginning of period $ 1,149 $ 910 Accrual for warranties issued 643 606 Changes to pre-existing warranties (including changes in estimates) 551 (5 ) Settlements made (502 ) (485 ) Warranty accrual, end of period $ 1,841 $ 1,026 Litigation Costs and Contingencies The Company records a charge equal to at least the minimum estimated liability for a loss contingency or litigation settlement when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements, and (ii) the range of loss can be reasonably estimated. The determination of whether a loss contingency or litigation settlement is probable or reasonably possible involves a significant amount of management judgment, as does the estimation of the range of loss given the nature of contingencies. Liabilities related to litigation settlements with multiple elements are recorded based on the fair value of each element. Legal and other litigation related expenses are recognized as the services are provided. The Company records insurance and other indemnity recoveries for litigation expenses when both of the following conditions are met: (a) the recovery is probable, and (b) collectability is reasonably assured. Insurance recoveries are only recorded to the extent the litigation costs to which they relate have been incurred and recognized in the financial statements. Comprehensive Income Authoritative accounting guidance establishes requirements for reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation adjustments and any related tax benefits that have been excluded from net income and reflected in stockholders’ equity. The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss was as follows (in thousands): Six Months Ended Accumulated other comprehensive loss, beginning of period $ (2,941 ) Unrealized gains from foreign currency translation (3,056 ) Accumulated other comprehensive loss, end of period $ (5,997 ) Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Net income per diluted share i s computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of shares and potential shares outstanding during the period, if the effect of potential shares is dilutive. Potential shares include incremental shares of stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and the vesting of both restricted share units (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , weighted options to purchase 1.2 million and 1.1 million shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect of including such shares would have been antidilutive in the applicable period. For each of the three and six months ended July 1, 2017 , weighted options to purchase 0.1 million shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect of including such shares would have been antidilutive in the applicable period. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017 , certain RSUs were considered contingently issuable shares as their vesting is contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events. Since such events had not occurred and were not considered probable of occurring as of June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017 , 2.7 million weighted average shares related to such RSUs have been excluded from the calculation of potential shares. A reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, July 1, June 30, July 1, Net income $ 43,853 $ 45,138 $ 89,483 $ 96,671 Basic net income per share: Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic 51,999 51,677 52,047 51,164 Net income per basic share $ 0.84 $ 0.87 $ 1.72 $ 1.89 Diluted net income per share: Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic 51,999 51,677 52,047 51,164 Diluted share equivalent: stock options and RSUs 3,743 4,496 3,795 4,704 Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted 55,742 56,173 55,842 55,868 Net income per diluted share $ 0.79 $ 0.80 $ 1.60 $ 1.73 Supplemental Cash Flow Information Supplemental cash flow information includes the following (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, July 1, Cash paid during the year for: Interest $ 229 $ 321 Income taxes 21,771 81,662 Noncash investing and financing activities: Unpaid purchases of property, plant and equipment $ 663 $ 2,113 Unsettled common stock proceeds from option exercises — 237 Reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash: Cash and cash equivalents $ 429,647 $ 331,448 Restricted cash 147 1,378 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flow $ 429,794 $ 332,826 Seasonality The healthcare business in the United States and overseas is subject to quarterly fluctuations in hospital and other alternative care admissions. Historically, the Company has typically experienced higher product revenues during the traditional “flu season” that often increases hospital and acute care facility admissions in the Company’s first and fourth fiscal quarters. At the same time, the Company has frequently experienced a sequential decline in product revenues in its second and/or third fiscal quarters, primarily due to the summer vacation season during which the flu season has moderated and people tend to avoid and/or delay elective procedures. Because the Company’s non-sales variable operating expenses often do not fluctuate in the same manner as its quarterly product sales, its quarterly operating income may fluctuate disproportionately to its quarterly revenue. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (ASU 2018-05). ASU 2018-05 amends certain SEC material in ASC Topic 740 for the income tax accounting implications of the recently issued Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company early adopted this standard with no material impact 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 (ASU 2016-16). The new standard eliminates the exception that allowed the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of assets other than inventory to be deferred until the transferred asset was sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use, and now requires recognition of such income tax consequences at the time the non-inventory asset is transferred. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual and interim fiscal reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard required companies to apply a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $0.4 million decrease to retained earnings and a corresponding increase to deferred tax assets of $0.1 million , and a decrease to prepaid taxes of $0.5 million as of December 31, 2017. Effective December 31, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 provides a single, principles-based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers, and generally provides for the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects the considerations to which the Company expects to be entitled when control over the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer. ASC 606 also enhances disclosures about revenue, provides additional guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improves guidance for multiple-element arrangements. In addition, ASC 606 includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers , which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. The Company adopted ASC 606 utilizing the full retrospective method of transition, which requires the Company to restate certain previously reported results, including the impact on the provision for income taxes. Adoption of the new standard resulted in changes to the Company’s accounting policies for revenue recognition and related cost of goods sold, as well as the capitalization and deferral of certain commission expenses, and a cumulative increase to retained earnings of approximately $23.9 million and $17.1 million as of December 31, 2016 and December 30, 2017, respectively. The areas impacted by ASC 606 include: (i) the acceleration of certain revenue from product sales to distributors that was previously deferred under the “sell-through” method; (ii) the acceleration of revenue related to certain software/parameter sales; (iii) the aggregation of all contract modifications occurring prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented; (iv) the acceleration of costs related to equipment for which control transfers up-front under certain contracts, the future consideration for which will now be treated as an optional purchase; (v) the capitalization and amortization of certain contract-related costs that were previously expensed when incurred; and (vi) the corresponding income tax effects related to these adjustments. The Company applied the new standard using certain practical expedients, including: (i) excluding disclosures of transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations when the Company expects to recognize such revenue for all periods prior to the date of initial application of ASC 606; (ii) not adjusting the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between the Company’s transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less; (iii) expensing costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less; (iv) not recasting revenue for contracts that begin and end in the same fiscal year; and (v) not assessing whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. Pursuant to the full retrospective method of adoption under ASC 606, the Company has adjusted certain amounts previously reported in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The reconciliations below reflect the adoption of ASC 60 |
