Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of Hologic, Inc. (“Hologic” or the “Company”) presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended September 24, 2016 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 17, 2016. In the opinion of management, the financial statements and notes contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2017. Fiscal 2017 is a 53 week fiscal period and this additional week is included in the results for the three months ended December 31, 2016. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09). The guidance changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The amendments in the update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and are applicable to the Company in fiscal 2018 with early adoption permitted in any interim or annual period. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company elected to early adopt this standard. The update requires certain changes to presentation of the financial statements as follows:
• | All excess tax benefits and deficiencies are recognized as a component of the provision for income taxes on a discrete basis in the period when the equity awards vest and/or are settled. Previously, the Company recorded this tax impact directly to additional paid in capital. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $6.0 million. The standard does not permit retroactive presentation of this benefit to prior fiscal years on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
• | The tax benefit or deficiency is required to be classified as a cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities. It was previously required to be presented as a cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, with a corresponding adjustment to operating cash flows. As permitted in the ASU, the Company has elected to adopt this classification on a retrospective basis, and therefore, the prior fiscal period Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows has been recast for this provision resulting in cash flows provided by operations increasing $7.1 million for the three months ended December 26, 2015 with a corresponding increase to cash flows used in financing activities.
• | In the diluted net earnings per share calculation, when applying the treasury stock method for shares that could be repurchased, the assumed proceeds no longer include the amount of excess tax benefit. This provision, which is only applicable on a prospective basis, did not have a material impact on the Company's diluted net earnings per share calculation in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
• | ASU 2016-09 allows a Company to elect to account for award forfeitures as they occur or to continue to estimate forfeitures. The Company has elected to continue to estimate potential forfeitures. As such, there is no impact from a change in accounting principle within stockholders' equity.
Subsequent Events Consideration The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence for certain estimates or to identify matters that may require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated as required. There were no material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events recorded in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2016. On January 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of its blood screening business for a sales price of $1.85 billion, subject to adjustment. Please see note 10 for further discussion of this transaction.
