Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for expected credit losses represents the Company’s best estimate based on historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost, which includes direct materials, labor and overhead, is generally determined using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. The estimated net realizable value is based on assumptions for future demand and related pricing. Adjustments to the cost basis of the Company’s inventory are made for excess and obsolete items based on usage, orders and technological obsolescence. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, reductions in the value of inventory may be required. Inventories consisted of the following:
| September 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Raw materials and parts | $ | 175,562 |  |  | $ | 180,352 |
Work-in-progress | 72,988 |  |  | 81,181 |
Finished goods | 127,263 |  |  | 124,332 |
| $ | 375,813 |  |  | $ | 385,865 |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill, representing the excess of purchase price over the net asset value of companies acquired, and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The annual evaluation for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are generally based on an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than the carrying amount. Other intangible assets include indefinite-lived assets and assets subject to amortization. Where applicable, amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit. The straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained by the Company in each reporting period. The Company assesses the initial acquisition of intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805 "Business Combinations" and the continued accounting for previously recognized intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 "Intangible - Goodwill and Other" and ASC 360 "Property, Plant and Equipment". Other intangible assets consisted of the following:

The Company r ecognized amortization expense associated with the above intangible assets of $6.8 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $20.3 million and $20.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The annual aggregate amortization expense based on the current balance of other intangible assets is estimated to be $27.2 million for 2024, $26.1 million for 2025, $22.0 million for 2026, $20.6 million for 2027, $19.3 million for 2028, and $17.5 million for 2029. Purchased intangible amortization was $6.4 million, $5.0 million after tax, and $6.7 million, $5.2 million after tax, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $19.5 million, $15.1 million after tax, and $19.9 million, $15.4 million after tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition to the above amortization, the Company recorded amortization expense associated with capitalized software of $11.4 million and $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $34.2 million and $33.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Revenue Recognition Product revenue is recognized from contracts with cu stomers when a customer has obtained control of a product. The Company considers control to have transferred based upon shipping terms. To the extent the Company’s arrangements have a separate performance obligation, revenue related to any post-shipment performance obligation is deferred until completed. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in total net sales and the associated expense is a component of cost of sales. Certain products are also sold through indirect distribution channels whereby the distributor assumes any further obligations to the end customer. Revenue is recognized on these distributor arrangements upon transfer of control to the distributor. Contracts do not contain variable pricing arrangements that are retrospective, except for rebate programs. Rebates are estimated based on expected sales volumes and offset against revenue at the time such revenue is recognized. The Company generally maintains the right to accept or reject a product return in its terms and conditions and also maintains appropriate accruals for outstanding credits. The related provisions for estimated returns and rebates are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. Certain of the Company’s product arrangements include separate performance obligations, primarily related to installation. Such performance obligations are accounted for separately when the deliverables have stand-alone value and the satisfaction of the undelivered performance obligations is probable and within the Company's control. The allocation of revenue between the performance obligations is based on the observable stand-alone selling prices at the time of the sale in accordance with a number of factors including service technician billing rates, time to install, and geographic location. Software is generally not considered a distinct performance obligation with the exception of a few small software applications. The Company generally does not sell software products without the related hardware instrument as the software is embedded in the product. The Company’s products typically require no significant production, modification, or customization of the hardware or software that is essential to the functionality of the products. Service revenue not under contract is recognized upon the completion of the service performed. Revenue from spare parts sold on a stand-alone basis is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment or delivery. Revenue from service contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period using a time-based method. These contracts represent an obligation to perform repair and other services including regulatory compliance qualification, calibration, certification, and preventative maintenance on a customer’s pre-defined equipment over the contract period. Share-Based Compensation The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense within selling, general and administrativ e in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded $4.4 million and $13.6 million of share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $4.2 million and $12.5 million for the corresponding periods in 2023. Research and Development Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries, consulting and other costs. The Company expenses these costs as incurred. Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions The Company accounts for business acquisitions under the accounting standards for business combinations. The results of each acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated results as of the acquisition date. The purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values and any consideration in excess of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. The determination of the values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including goodwill and intangible assets, require significant judgment. Acquisition transaction costs are expensed when incurred. In circumstances where an acquisition involves a contingent consideration arrangement, the Company recognizes a liability equal to the fair value of the expected contingent payments as of the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recorded to other charges (income), net. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, January 2021 and December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, ASU 2021-01 and ASU 2022-06: Reference Rate Reform, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuance of LIBOR or another referenced rate. The guidance may be applied to any applicable contract entered into before December 31, 2024. The Company amended its credit agreement and cross currency swap agreements in June 2023 to change the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR and other non-U.S. dollar references, which did not change the amount or timing of cash flows. As a result, the discontinuation of LIBOR did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which requires incremental disclosures about a public entity's reportable segments but does not change the definition of a segment or the guidance for determining reportable segments. The Company will adopt the annual disclosure requirements in 2024 and is currently evaluating the impact of these requirements on the consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances income tax disclosures, especially related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The Company will adopt the annual disclosure requirements in 2025 and is currently evaluating the impact of these requirements on the consolidated financial statements.
