Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Leases The Company leases certain facilities in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions under operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through November 2026. Certain facility leases contain predetermined price escalations and in some cases renewal options. The Company recognizes the lease costs using a straight-line method based on total lease payments. The Company has received leasehold improvement incentives in connection with certain leased facilities in the U.S. These leasehold improvement incentives have been recorded as deferred rent and are being amortized as a reduction to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. As of each of July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, accrued rent expense in excess of the amount paid aggregated $1.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, which is classified within other current and non-current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company leases automobiles in the U.S. and Europe that are classified as operating leases and expire at various dates through November 2020. The majority of these leases are non-cancellable. The Company also has outstanding capital leases for office equipment and computer equipment, all of which are non-cancellable. Future minimum lease payments, including interest, under operating and capital leases for each of the following fiscal years ending on or about December 31 are (in thousands):

Rental expense related to operating leases was $1.6 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended July 1, 2017, respectively, and $1.6 million and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2016, respectively. Included in the future capital lease payments as of July 1, 2017 is interest aggregating less than $0.1 million. Employee Retirement Savings Plan The Company sponsors a qualified defined contribution plan or 401(k) plan, the Masimo Retirement Savings Plan (MRSP), covering the Company’s full-time U.S. employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. In general, the Company matches an employee’s contribution up to 3% of the employee’s compensation, subject to a maximum amount. The Company may also contribute to the MRSP on a discretionary basis. The Company contributed $0.6 million and $1.2 million to the MRSP for the three and six months ended July 1, 2017, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.1 million to the MRSP for the three and six months ended July 2, 2016, respectively. In addition, the Company also sponsors various defined contribution plans in certain locations outside of the United States (Subsidiary Plans). For the three and six months ended July 1, 2017, the Company contributed $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2016, the Company contributed $0.1 million and $0.2 million to the Subsidiary Plans, respectively. Employment and Severance Agreements On July 27, 2017, the Company entered into the First Amendment with Joe Kiani, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which amended that certain Amended and Restated Employment Agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Kiani on November 4, 2015 (together with the First Amendment, the Amended Employment Agreement). The First Amendment, among other things, eliminates Mr. Kiani’s eligibility for an automatic annual bonus equal to 100% of his base salary, imposes an annual cap on any annual bonus awarded by the Compensation Committee at 200% of his base salary, eliminates his guaranteed grant of 300,000 stock options in fiscal year 2017, modifies certain definitions and conditions related to Mr. Kiani’s ability to terminate his employment with the Company for “Good Reason”, and eliminates the annual 10% reduction of both: (1) the 2.7 million shares subject to the RSU award previously granted to Mr. Kiani (Award Shares) that will vest in certain circumstances, and (2) the $35.0 million cash payment (Cash Payment) that Mr. Kiani will be entitled to receive in certain circumstances. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement, upon a “Qualifying Termination” (as defined in the Amended Employment Agreement), Mr. Kiani will be entitled to receive a cash severance benefit equal to two times the sum of his then-current base salary and the average annual bonus paid to Mr. Kiani during the immediately preceding three years, the full amount of the Award Shares and the full amount of the Cash Payment. In addition, in the event of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Amended Employment Agreement) prior to a Qualifying Termination, on each of the one year and two year anniversaries of the Change in Control, 50% of the Cash Payment and 50% of the Award Shares will vest, subject in each case to Mr. Kiani’s continuous employment through each such anniversary date; however, in the event of a Qualifying Termination or a termination of Mr. Kiani’s employment due to death or disability prior to either of such anniversaries, any unvested amount of the Cash Payment and all of the unvested Award Shares shall vest and be paid in full. Additionally, in the event of a Change in Control prior to a Qualifying Termination, Mr. Kiani’s stock options and any other equity awards will vest in accordance with their terms, but in no event later than in two equal installments on each of the one year and two year anniversaries of the Change in Control, subject in each case to Mr. Kiani’s continuous employment through each such anniversary date. As of July 1, 2017, the expense related to the Award Shares that would be recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon the occurrence of a Qualifying Termination under the Restated Employment Agreement was approximately $257.9 million. As of July 1, 2017, the Company had severance plan participation agreements with six executive officers. The participation agreements (the Agreements) are governed by the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2007 Severance Protection Plan (the Severance Plan), which became effective on July 19, 2007 and which was amended effective December 31, 2008. Under each of the Agreements, the applicable executive officer may be entitled to receive certain salary, equity, medical and life insurance benefits if he is terminated by the Company without cause or if he terminates his employment for good reason under certain circumstances. The executive officers are also required to give the Company six months advance notice of their resignation under certain circumstances. Purchase Commitments Pursuant to contractual obligations with vendors, the Company had $77.9 million of purchase commitments as of July 1, 2017, which are expected to be purchased within one year. These purchase commitments have been made for certain inventory items in order to secure sufficient levels of those items and to achieve better pricing. Other Contractual Commitments In the normal course of business, the Company may provide bank guarantees to support government hospital tenders in certain foreign jurisdictions. As of July 1, 2017, the Company had approximately $0.3 million in unsecured bank guarantees. In certain circumstances, the Company also provides limited indemnification within its various customer contracts whereby the Company indemnifies the parties to whom it sells its products with respect to potential infringement of intellectual property, and against bodily injury caused by a defective Company product. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements, due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved. As of July 1, 2017, the Company had not incurred any significant costs related to contractual indemnification of its customers. Concentrations of Risk The Company is exposed to credit loss for the amount of its cash deposits with financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company invests its excess cash in time deposits with major financial institutions. As of July 1, 2017, the Company had $331.4 million of bank balances, of which $3.1 million was covered by either the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit or foreign countries’ deposit insurance organizations. While the Company and its contract manufacturers rely on sole source suppliers for certain components, steps have been taken to minimize the impact of a shortage or stoppage of shipments, such as maintaining a safety stock of inventory and designing products that could be modified to use different components. However, there can be no assurance that a shortage or stoppage of shipments of the materials or components that the Company purchases will not result in a delay in production or adversely affect the Company’s business. The Company’s ability to sell its products to U.S. hospitals depends in part on its relationships with GPOs. Many existing and potential customers for the Company’s products become members of GPOs. GPOs negotiate pricing arrangements and contracts, sometimes exclusively, with medical supply manufacturers and distributors, and these negotiated prices are made available to a GPO’s affiliated hospitals and other members. During the three and six months ended July 1, 2017, revenue from the sale of the Company’s products to U.S. hospitals that are members of GPOs amounted to $105.6 million and $205.3 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended July 2, 2016, revenue from the sale of the Company’s products to U.S. hospitals that are members of GPOs amounted to $93.3 million and $185.3 million, respectively. For the three months ended July 1, 2017, the Company had sales through two just-in-time distributors that represented 13.3% and 11.3% of total revenue, respectively. For the three months ended July 2, 2016, the Company had sales through the same two just-in-time distributors that represented 14.8% and 12.7% of total revenue, respectively. For the six months ended July 1, 2017, the Company had sales through two just-in-time distributors that represented 13.7% and 11.7% of total revenue, respectively. For the six months ended July 2, 2016, the Company had sales through the same two just-in-time distributors that represented 15.4% and 11.9% of total revenue, respectively. As of July 1, 2017, two just-in-time distributors represented 8.3% and 5.0% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2016, two different just-in-time distributors represented 7.5% and 5.6% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance, respectively. For the six months ended July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016, the Company recorded $18.3 million and $15.9 million, respectively, in royalty revenues from Medtronic. In exchange for these royalty payments, the Company has provided Medtronic the ability to ship its patent infringing product with a covenant not to sue Medtronic as long as Medtronic abides by the terms of the settlement agreement between the companies. Litigation On July 26, 2017, a patent infringement complaint was filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware by Silkeen, LLC. The complaint alleges that the Company’s pulse oximetry products infringe certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,944,469 titled “System and Method for Using Self-Learning Rules to Enable Adaptive Security Monitoring.” The Company believes it has good and substantial defenses to the claims, but there is no guarantee the Company will prevail. The Company is unable to determine whether any loss will ultimately occur or to estimate the range of such loss; therefore, no amount of loss has been accrued by the Company in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s policy is and has been not to settle patent infringement claims where it does not believe there is infringement of a valid patent, even if the cost of litigation would exceed the cost of settlement. On January 2, 2014, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California by Physicians Healthsource, Inc. (PHI). The complaint alleges that the Company sent unsolicited facsimile advertisements in violation of the Junk Fax Protection Act of 2005 and related regulations. The complaint seeks $500 for each alleged violation, treble damages if the District Court finds the alleged violations to be knowing, plus interest, costs and injunctive relief. On April 14, 2014, the Company filed a motion to stay the case pending a decision on a related petition filed by the Company with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). On May 22, 2014, the District Court granted the motion and stayed the case pending a ruling by the FCC on the petition. On October 30, 2014, the FCC granted some of the relief and denied some of the relief requested in the Company’s petition. Both parties appealed the FCC’s decision on the petition. On November 25, 2014, the District Court granted the parties’ joint request that the stay remain in place pending a decision on the appeal. On March 31, 2017, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals vacated and remanded the FCC’s decision, holding that the applicable FCC rule was unlawful to the extent it requires opt-out notices on solicited faxes. The stay of the District Court litigation has not yet been lifted. On April 28, 2017, PHI filed a petition seeking rehearing by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals denied the requested rehearing on June 6, 2017. The plaintiffs have stated that they intend to file a petition to the United States Supreme Court seeking review of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ opinion. The Company believes it has good and substantial defenses to the claims in the District Court litigation, but there is no guarantee that the Company will prevail. The Company is unable to determine whether any loss will ultimately occur or to estimate the range of such loss; therefore, no amount of loss has been accrued by the Company in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. On January 31, 2014, an amended putative class action complaint was filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama by and on behalf of two participants in the Surfactant, Positive Pressure, and Oxygenation Randomized Trial at the University of Alabama. On April 21, 2014, a further amended complaint was filed adding a third participant. The complaint alleges product liability and negligence claims in connection with pulse oximeters the Company modified and provided at the request of study investigators for use in the trial. On August 13, 2015, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama granted summary judgment in favor of the Company on all claims. The plaintiffs have appealed the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama’s decision. The appellate hearing before the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals was held on December 13, 2016, and the parties are awaiting a decision. On July 7, 2017, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals (Eleventh Circuit) issued a Certification to the Supreme Court of Alabama seeking guidance on a legal question. In that Certification, the Eleventh Circuit stated that the plaintiffs failed to establish that participation in the clinical study caused any injuries, and that the negligence, negligence per se, breach of fiduciary duty and products liability claims, which includes the claims currently alleged against the Company, were properly dismissed. The Company is unable to determine whether any loss will ultimately occur or to estimate the range of such loss; therefore, no amount of loss has been accrued by the Company in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. From time to time, the Company may be involved in other litigation and investigations relating to claims and matters arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. The Company believes that it currently is not a party to any other legal proceedings which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
