Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of presentation | Note 1 — Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Teleflex Incorporated and its subsidiaries (“we,” “us,” “our" and “Teleflex”) are prepared on the same basis as its annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for the fair statement of the financial statements for interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and Rule 10-01 of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Regulation S-X, which sets forth the instructions for the form and content of presentation of financial statements included in Form 10-Q. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates particularly as it relates to estimates reliant on forecasts and other assumptions impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which are described in more detail in the "Risks and Uncertainties" section below. The results of operations for the periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full year. In accordance with applicable accounting standards and as permitted by Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures that are required to be included in our annual consolidated financial statements. Therefore, our quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020 intangible asset amortization expense of $21.2 million and $63.2 million, respectively, is included within costs of good sold. For the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, we reclassified intangible asset amortization expense of $20.6 million and $62.1 million, respectively, from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of goods sold for comparability. Risks and Uncertainties We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict due to the rapidly evolving environment and continued uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other things, the response to the COVID-19 pandemic has had the effect of reducing the number of elective procedures being carried out by our customers, thereby reducing demand for products used in elective procedures, while creating an increase in demand for products used in the treatment of patients with COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted economic activity and markets around the world through government-mandated and self-imposed shut-downs in many countries, which were implemented to protect individuals and control the spread of COVID-19. If the pandemic continues and conditions worsen, it could negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity in numerous ways, including, but not limited to, lower revenues in our product categories dependent on elective procedures; further disruption in the manufacture of our products including increased manufacturing and distribution costs; extended delays in or defaults on payments of outstanding receivables; and increased volatility and pricing in capital markets. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic may cause disruption to our suppliers or their suppliers and/or the distribution of our products, whether through our direct sales force or our distributors. The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on our employees, contractors, suppliers, customers and other business partners, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially impact our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations is uncertain.
