Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. 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 29, 2018 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 29, 2018 (fiscal year 2018 ), filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019 . The results for the three months ended March 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2019 (fiscal year 2019 ) 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 Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842, Leases (ASC 842), effective December 30, 2018. The Company applied the modified retrospective approach using the current-period adjustment method of adoption, whereby all periods beginning on or after December 30, 2018 are presented under ASC 842 with a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet as of the first day of fiscal year 2019, and all prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the legacy accounting requirements under ASC Topic 840, Leases . 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 2019 is a 52 week fiscal year. All references to years in these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements are fiscal years unless otherwise noted. __________________________________________ 1 The use of the trademark Patient SafetyNet is under license from the University HealthSystem Consortium. 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 total contract consideration and how such consideration should be allocated to each performance obligation within a contract, credit loss allowances on accounts and lease receivables, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, rebate accruals, valuation of the Company’s equity awards, goodwill valuation, deferred taxes and any associated valuation allowances, deferred revenue, uncertain income tax positions, and litigation costs and related accruals. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including previously reported selling, general and administrative expenses that have been reclassified as research and development expenses within the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018. 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 three months ended March 30, 2019 . The Company carries cash and cash equivalents at cost, which approximates fair value. The following tables represent the Company’s financial assets (in thousands), measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 30, 2019 : Reported as Adjusted Basis Gross Unrealized Gross Unrealized Estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents Short-Term Cash $ 412,861 $ — $ — $ 412,861 $ 412,861 $ — Level 1: Certificates of deposit 180,000 — — 180,000 — 180,000 Subtotal 180,000 — — 180,000 — 180,000 Level 2: None — — — — — — Level 3: None — — — — — — Total assets measured at fair value $ 592,861 $ — $ — $ 592,861 $ 412,861 $ 180,000 As of December 29, 2018 , 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 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. Short-Term Investments The Company classifies its investments in certificates of deposits maturing in one year or less as short-term investments. The carrying value of such investment approximates fair value and are accessible without any significant restrictions, taxes, or penalties. During the three months ended March 30, 2019 , the Company invested $180.0 million in certificates of deposits with maturities ranging from 6 months to one year . 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. For the three months ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , depreciation and amortization expense of property and equipment was $5.4 million and $5.2 million , respectively. Lessee Right-of-Use (ROU) Assets and Lease Liabilities As further discussed below in this Note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted ASC 842 effective December 30, 2018. The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an asset underlying an operating lease for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from an operating lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company generally estimates the applicable discount rate used to determine the net present value of lease payments based on available information at the lease commencement date. Many of the Company’s lessee agreements include options to extend the lease, which the Company does not include in its lease terms unless they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company utilizes a portfolio approach to account for the ROU assets and liabilities associated with certain equipment leases. The Company has also made an accounting policy election not to separate lease and non-lease components for its real estate leases and to exclude short-term leases with a term of twelve months or less from its application of ASC 842. Rental expense for lease payments related to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Intangible Assets The Company’s policy is to renew its patents and trademarks. Total renewal costs for patents and trademarks for the three months ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were $0.3 million and $0.1 million , respectively. As of March 30, 2019 , the weighted-average number of years until the next renewal was less than 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, 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 flows 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 months ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 . Revenue Recognition, and Deferred Revenue and Other Contract Liabilities The Company derives the majority of its product revenue from four primary sources: (i) direct sales under deferred equipment agreements 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 generally recognizes revenue following 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 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. Revenue related to equipment supplied under sales-type lease arrangements is recognized once control over the equipment is transferred to the customer, while revenue related to equipment supplied under operating-type lease arrangements is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. 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) whether the arrangement contains an embedded lease, and if so, whether such embedded lease is a sales-type lease or an operating lease, (iii) how the arrangement consideration should be allocated to each performance obligation when multiple performance obligations exist, including the determination of standalone selling price, (iv) when to recognize revenue on the performance obligations, and (v) 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. 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. Sales under deferred equipment agreements are generally structured such that the Company agrees to provide certain monitoring-related equipment, software, installation, training and/or warranty support at no up-front charge 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 allocates contract consideration under deferred equipment agreements containing fixed annual sensor purchase commitments to the underlying lease and non-lease components at contract inception. In determining whether any underlying lease components are related to a sales-type lease or an operating lease, the Company evaluates the customer’s rights and ability to control the use of the underlying equipment throughout the contract term, including any equipment substitution rights retained by the Company, as well as the Company’s expectations surrounding potential contract/lease extensions or renewals and the customer’s exercise of any purchase options. Revenue allocable to non-lease performance obligations is generally recognized as such non-lease performance obligations are satisfied. Revenue allocable to lease components under sales-type lease arrangements is generally recognized when the lease commences. Revenue allocable to lease components under operating lease arrangements is generally recognized over the term of the operating lease. The Company generally does not expect to derive any significant value in excess of such asset’s unamortized book value from equipment underlying its operating leases arrangements after the end of the agreement. 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. Sales of integrated circuit boards and other products to the Company’s OEM customers are generally recognized as revenue at the time of shipment. Revenue related to OEM rainbow ® parameter software licenses is generally recognized upon shipment of the OEM’s product to its customers, as reported 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 arose from one agreement and was due and payable quarterly in arrears. An estimate of these royalty revenues was 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 was adjusted prospectively when the Company received the underlying royalty report, approximately sixty days after the end of the previous quarter. For the three months ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , the Company recognized royalty revenue pursuant to this agreement of approximately $0.7 million and $8.1 million , respectively. The Company received its final royalty payment from this agreement during the three months ended March 30, 2019 . The Company also recognizes revenue from time-to-time related to non-recurring engineering (NRE) services. NRE service revenue is generally recognized over time based on actual costs 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. Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities 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 provided to hospitals under operating lease arrangements within the Company’s deferred equipment agreements are generally deferred and amortized to cost of goods sold over the life of the underlying contracts. Some of the Company’s deferred equipment agreements 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 allocated to the lease and non-lease components and recognized as a reduction to revenue as the underlying performance obligations are satisfied. The Company generally invoices its customers under deferred equipment agreements as sensors are provided to the customer. However, the Company may recognize revenue for certain non-lease performance obligations under deferred equipment agreements with fixed annual commitments at the time such performance obligations are satisfied and prior to the customer being invoiced. When this occurs, the Company records an unbilled contract receivable related to such revenue until the customer has been invoiced pursuant to the terms of the underlying deferred equipment agreement. 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 deferred equipment agreements 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 deferred equipment agreement. 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): Three Months Ended March 30, March 31, Warranty accrual, beginning of period $ 1,910 $ 1,149 Accrual for warranties issued 720 430 Changes to pre-existing warranties (including changes in estimates) (1) 2,447 (278 ) Settlements made (524 ) (161 ) Warranty accrual, end of period $ 4,553 $ 1,140 ______________ (1) In connection with its adoption of ASC 842 on December 30, 2018, the Company recorded an adjustment to pre-existing warranties of $2.5 million related to equipment previously capitalized under its deferred equipment agreements where the embedded leases were treated as operating leases under prior guidance. See “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” to these condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the Company’s adoption of ASC 842. 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 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): Three Months Ended Accumulated other comprehensive loss, beginning of period $ (6,199 ) Unrealized gains from foreign currency translation (577 ) Accumulated other comprehensive loss, end of period $ (6,776 ) 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 months ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , weighted options to purchase 0.3 million and 0.9 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. Certain RSUs are 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 each of March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , 2.7 million weighted average shares related to such RSUs have been excluded from the calculation of potential shares for each of the three month periods then ended. A reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended March 30, March 31, Net income $ 49,322 $ 45,630 Basic net income per share: Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic 53,210 51,709 Net income per basic share $ 0.93 $ 0.88 Diluted net income per share: Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic 53,210 51,709 Diluted share equivalent: stock options, RSUs and PSUs 3,589 3,787 Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted 56,799 55,496 Net income per diluted share $ 0.87 $ 0.82 Supplemental Cash Flow Information Supplemental cash flow information includes the following (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 30, March 31, Cash paid during the year for: Interest $ 13 $ 169 Income taxes 2,157 1,023 Operating lease payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities 1,748 — Non-cash operating activities: ROU assets obtained in exchange for lease liabilities (1) $ 22,983 $ — Non-cash investing activities: Unpaid purchases of property, plant and equipment $ 1,127 $ 1,492 Non-cash financing activities: Unsettled common stock proceeds from option exercises $ 583 $ 794 Reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash: Cash and cash equivalents $ 412,861 $ 369,498 Restricted cash 149 152 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flow $ 413,010 $ 369,650 ______________ (1) In connection with its adoption of ASC 842 on December 30, 2018, the Company recorded a lessee operating lease ROU asset of $22.5 million. See “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” to these condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the Company’s adoption of ASC 842. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2018-02) . The new standard allows a reclassification for certain stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings, and requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. ASU 2018-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this standard during the three months ended March 30, 2019 and such adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02) . Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-02, the FASB clarified the guidance through several ASUs. The collective guidance was codified by the FASB in ASC 842, which, among other things (i) requires the Company to recognize an ROU asset and a lease liability for all operating leases for which the Company is the lessee; (ii) changes the classification of certain embedded leases within the Company’s deferred equipment agreements with its customers from operating to sales-type leases, resulting in the acceleration of revenue under certain contracts, as well as the immediate |
