Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | ACQUISITIONS On December 20, 2013, we acquired a license agreement to sell our Hepasphere products in China. We paid $350,000 to purchase the license. We are obligated to pay an additional $350,000, which is included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2013. The purchase price was allocated to a license agreement for $700,000, which we intend to amortize over four years. On October 4, 2013, we acquired certain assets contemplated by an Asset Purchase Agreement we executed with Datascope Corp. ("Datascope"), a Delaware corporation. The primary assets we acquired consist of the Safeguard® Pressure Assisted Device, which assists in obtaining and maintaining hemostasis after a femoral procedure, and the Air-Band™ Radial Compression Device, which is indicated to assist hemostasis of the radial artery puncture site while maintaining visibility. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. We made a payment of approximately $27.5 million to acquire these assets. Acquisition-related costs during the year ended December 31, 2013, which were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, were not material. The results of operations related to this acquisition have been included in our cardiovascular segment since the acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2013, our net sales of Datascope products were approximately $1.6 million. It is not practical to separately report the earnings related to the Datascope acquisition, as we cannot split out sales costs related to Datascope products, principally because our sales representatives are selling multiple products (including Datascope products) in the cardiovascular business segment. The total purchase price was preliminarily allocated as follows (in thousands):
Assets Acquired |
Inventories | $ | 478 |
Intangibles |
Developed technology | 18,200 |
Customer lists | 390 |
Trademarks | 320 |
Goodwill | 8,112 |
Total assets acquired | $ | 27,500 |
With respect to the Datascope assets, we intend to amortize developed technology over 10 years and customer lists on an accelerated basis over six years. While U.S. trademarks can be renewed indefinitely, we currently estimate that we will generate cash flow from the acquired trademarks for a period of 15 years from the acquisition date. The total weighted-average amortization period for these acquired intangible assets is 10 years. On October 4, 2013, we acquired certain assets contemplated by an Asset Purchase Agreement with Radial Assist, LLC ("Radial Assist"), a Georgia limited liability company. The primary assets we acquired consist of the Rad Board®, Rad Board®Xtra™, Rad Trac™, and Rad Rest® devices. The Rad Board is designed to provide a larger work space for physicians and an area for patients to rest their arms during radial procedures. The Rad Board Xtra is designed to work in conjunction with the Rad Board by extending the usable work space and allowing for a 90-degree perpendicular extension of the arm for physicians who prefer doing procedures at a 90-degree angle. The Rad Trac is also designed to be used with the Rad Board and facilitates placement and removal of the Rad Board with the patient still on the table. The Rad Rest is a disposable, single-use product designed to stabilize the arm by ergonomically supporting the elbow, forearm and wrist during radial procedures. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. We made a payment of approximately $2.5 million to acquire these assets. Acquisition-related costs during the year ended December 31, 2013, which were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, were not material. The results of operations related to this acquisition have been included in our cardiovascular segment since the acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2013, our net sales of Radial Assist products were approximately $191,000. It is not practical to separately report the earnings related to the Radial Assist acquisition, as we cannot split out sales costs related to Radial Assist products, principally because our sales representatives are selling multiple products (including Radial Assist products) in the cardiovascular business segment. The total purchase price was preliminarily allocated as follows (in thousands):
Assets Acquired |
Inventories | $ | 16 |
Intangibles |
Developed technology | 1,520 |
Customer lists | 20 |
Trademarks | 40 |
Goodwill | 904 |
Total assets acquired | $ | 2,500 |
With respect to the Radial Assist assets, we intend to amortize developed technology over 10 years and customer lists on an accelerated basis over six years. While U.S. trademarks can be renewed indefinitely, we currently estimate that we will generate cash flow from the acquired trademarks for a period of 15 years from the acquisition date. The total weighted-average amortization period for these acquired intangible assets is 10.07 years. In connection with our Datascope and Radial Assist acquisitions, we paid approximately $798,000 in long-term debt issuance costs to Wells Fargo Bank related to the amendment of our Credit Agreement (see Note 7). These costs consist primarily of loan origination fees that we intend to amortize over the remaining contract term of our Credit Agreement, which matures December 19, 2017. On September 10, 2013, we entered into a license agreement with a medical device company for the exclusive rights to sell certain biocompatible gloves, instrument cleaners, and surgical wipes. We paid $250,000 for the use of the license. We are obligated to pay an additional $250,000 within 30 days of our first commercial sale of the product. The purchase price was allocated to a license agreement for $250,000, which we intend to amortize over 10 years. On December 19, 2012, we consummated the transactions contemplated by a Stock Purchase Agreement with Vital Signs, Inc., an affiliate of GE Healthcare (“Vital Signs”), as seller, and purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Thomas Medical Products, Inc. (“Thomas Medical”), a Pennsylvania corporation. The primary assets of Thomas Medical are the various patents, trademarks, and business related to introducers, hemostatic valves, and sheaths. Using the splittable hemostatic introducer sheath as an entry product, we intend to develop a portfolio of premium accessories for electrophysiology physicians. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. We made an initial payment of $167.0 million to Vital Signs in December 2012. We also accrued an additional $445,000 at December 31, 2012, related to a final payment made to Vital Signs in February 2013 for net working capital received in excess of the target net working capital specified. The results of operations related to this acquisition have been included in our cardiovascular segment since the acquisition date. Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 include approximately $1.9 million and $51,000 of net sales and income before tax, respectively, related to the Thomas Medical acquisition. The total purchase price was allocated as follows (in thousands):

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the goodwill related to the Thomas Medical acquisition was increased by approximately $381,000 due to an adjustment related to inventories. The gross amount of trade receivables we acquired in the Thomas Medical transaction was approximately $6.5 million, of which $34,000 was expected to be uncollectible. With respect to the Thomas Medical assets, we intend to amortize developed technology over eight years, customer lists on an accelerated basis over 12 years, and non-compete agreements over three years. While U.S. trademarks can be renewed indefinitely, we currently estimate that we will generate cash flow from the acquired trademarks for a period of 15 years from the acquisition date. The total weighted-average amortization period for these acquired intangible assets is 8.55 years. In connection with our Thomas Medical acquisition, we paid approximately $3.7 million in long-term debt issuance costs to Wells Fargo Bank related to our Credit Agreement (see Note 7). These costs consist primarily of loan origination fees that we intend to amortize over five years, which is the contract term of our Credit Agreement. We also incurred approximately $2.7 million of acquisition-related costs during the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. On November 19, 2012, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Janin Group, Inc. (dba MediGroup) ("MediGroup"), an Illinois corporation, to purchase substantially all of the assets of MediGroup. The primary assets of MediGroup are the patented Flex-Neck® Peritoneal Dialysis Catheters and Y-TEC™ Peritoneal Dialysis Implantation Kits. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. We made an initial payment of approximately $4.0 million in November 2012. In addition, we are obligated to make contingent payments of up to $150,000 per year during 2013, 2014 and 2015. Furthermore, we are obligated to make contingent purchase price payments of $150,000 per year in 2016 through 2022 if net sales of Medigroup products increase at least 8% in each subsequent year. If net sales of MediGroup products have not increased by the percentage set forth in any year, our obligation to make these contingent payments shall cease. The acquisition-date fair value of the contingent consideration liability of approximately $403,000 was included as part of the purchase consideration. Acquisition-related costs during the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, were not material. The results of operations related to this acquisition have been included in our cardiovascular segment since the acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2012, our net sales of MediGroup products were approximately $169,000. It is not practical to separately report the earnings related to the MediGroup acquisition, as we cannot split out sales costs related to MediGroup products, principally because our sales representatives are selling multiple products (including MediGroup products) in the cardiovascular business segment. The total purchase price, which includes the contingent consideration liability described above, was allocated as follows (in thousands):
Assets Acquired |
Inventories | $ | 263 |
Property and equipment | 79 |
Intangibles |
Developed technology | 2,000 |
Non-compete agreements | 210 |
Customer lists | 110 |
Trademarks | 80 |
Goodwill | 1,697 |
Total assets acquired | $ | 4,439 |
With respect to the MediGroup assets, we intend to amortize developed technology over eight years, customer lists on an accelerated basis over eight years, and non-compete agreements over seven years. While U.S. trademarks can be renewed indefinitely, we currently estimate that we will generate cash flow from the acquired trademarks for a period of 15 years from the acquisition date. The total weighted-average amortization period for these acquired intangible assets is 8.15 years. On August 27, 2012, we entered into a license agreement with a medical device company for the use of certain patents. We paid $750,000 for the use of the license. The purchase price was allocated to a license agreement for $750,000, which we intend to amortize over three years. On August 21, 2012, we entered into a distribution and patent sublicense agreement with Catheter Connections, Inc. ("CathConn"), a Utah corporation, for the exclusive rights to sell certain disinfecting cap technologies. We paid CathConn $250,000 in August 2012 for the exclusive rights to distribute CathConn's MaleCap Solo technology in the field of interventional radiology and interventional cardiology. We can elect to pay an additional $250,000 for each of the exclusive rights to other aspects of CathConn's DualCap disinfecting cap technology. The purchase price was allocated to a distribution agreement for $250,000, which we intend to amortize over 10 years. On August 7, 2012, we purchased 422,594 special membership units, which represents an ownership interest of approximately 11.9%, of Blockade Medical LLC ("Blockade"), a Delaware limited liability company, for an aggregate price of approximately $1.0 million, which is accounted for at cost. Blockade develops, markets and sells catheter-based therapeutic devices. On January 31, 2012, we consummated the transactions contemplated by an Asset Purchase Agreement with Ostial Solutions, LLC ("Ostial"), a Michigan limited liability company, to purchase substantially all of the assets of Ostial. The primary asset of Ostial is the patented Ostial PRO Stent Positioning System, which is designed to facilitate precise stent implantation in coronary and renal aorto-ostial lesions. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. We made an initial payment of $10.0 million to Ostial in January 2012 and an additional payment of $6.5 million to Ostial in August 2012. In addition, we are obligated to make contingent purchase price payments of up to $13.5 million based on a percentage of future sales of products utilizing the Ostial PRO Stent Positioning System. The acquisition-date fair value of this contingent consideration liability of $4.3 million was included as part of the purchase consideration and was determined using a discounted cash flow model based upon the expected timing and amount of these future contingent payments. Acquisition-related costs during the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, were not material. The results of operations related to this acquisition have been included in our cardiovascular segment since the acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2012, our net sales of products utilizing the Ostial PRO Stent Positioning System were approximately $457,000. It is not practical to separately report the earnings related to the Ostial acquisition, as we cannot split out sales costs related to Ostial products, principally because our sales representatives are selling multiple products (including Ostial products) in the cardiovascular business segment. The total purchase price, which includes the contingent consideration liability described above, was allocated as follows (in thousands):

With respect to the Ostial assets, we intend to amortize developed technology over 15 years, customer lists on an accelerated basis over eight years, and non-compete agreements over five years. While U.S. trademarks can be renewed indefinitely, we currently estimate that we will generate cash flow from the acquired trademarks for a period of 15 years from the acquisition date. The total weighted-average amortization period for these acquired intangible assets is 14.6 years. The following table summarizes our unaudited consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, as well as unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations as though the Thomas Medical, MediGroup, and Ostial acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2011 and the Datascope acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2012 (in thousands, except per common share amounts):

The unaudited pro forma information set forth above is for informational purposes only and includes adjustments related to the step-up of acquired inventories, amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, and interest expense on long-term debt. The pro forma information should not be considered indicative of actual results that would have been achieved if the Thomas Medical, MediGroup, and Ostial acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2011 and the Datascope acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2012, or results that may be obtained in any future period. The pro forma consolidated results of operations do not include the Radial Assist acquisition, as we do not deem the pro forma effect of the transaction to be material. On January 5, 2012, we entered into a Marketing and Distribution Agreement with Scion Cardio-Vascular, Inc. (“Scion”), a Florida corporation, wherein we purchased the exclusive, worldwide right to distribute the Clo-Sur PLUS P.A.D.™ for $2.5 million. We made an initial payment of $1.5 million to Scion in January 2012. We made an additional payment of $1.0 million in May 2012 upon reaching a milestone set forth in the purchase agreement. The purchase price was allocated to a distribution agreement for $2.5 million, which we intend to amortize over 12 years. As a result of entering into this agreement, we terminated several exclusive Scion sales distributor agreements where we had previously established direct sales relationships. In connection with the termination of these agreements, we agreed to purchase customer lists from the terminated distributors. The total purchase price of the customer lists was approximately $95,000 and was allocated to other intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. We intend to amortize the customer lists on an accelerated basis over five years. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we purchased several patents for the development of future products. A total charge of approximately $2.5 million related to these asset acquisitions has been recorded to acquired in-process research and development in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2012, as both technological feasibility of the underlying research and development projects had not yet been reached and such technology had no future alternative use as of the respective date of each asset acquisition. On September 2, 2011, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Ash Access Technology, Inc. (“Ash Access”), an Indiana corporation, and AAT Catheter Technologies, LLC (“AAT”), an Indiana limited liability corporation (collectively “Ash”), to purchase intellectual property rights with respect to various dialysis catheters. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. We made an initial payment of $5.0 million to Ash in September 2011. We are obligated to pay an additional $1.0 million upon reaching a milestone set forth in the purchase agreement and future royalties based on a percentage of related product sales. The acquisition-date fair value of the contingent consideration liability of approximately $1.3 million was included as part of the purchase consideration. Acquisition-related costs during the year ended December 31, 2011, respectively, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, were not material. During the year ended December 31, 2011, net sales subsequent to the acquisition date related to our dialysis catheter acquired were not material. The total purchase price, which includes the contingent consideration liability described above, was allocated as follows (in thousands):
Assets Acquired |
Property and equipment | $ | 73 |
Intangibles |
Developed technology | 3,200 |
Customer lists | 300 |
Goodwill | 2,697 |
Total assets acquired | $ | 6,270 |
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the goodwill related to the Ash acquisition was increased by approximately $280,000 due to adjustments to the contingent consideration liability. With respect to the assets we acquired from Ash, we intend to amortize developed technology over 15 years and customer lists on an accelerated basis over two years. The total weighted-average amortization period for these acquired intangible assets is nine years. The assets and liabilities related to this acquisition are included in our cardiovascular segment. Pro forma consolidated financial results for the Ash acquisition discussed above have not been included in our consolidated financial results because we believe their effects would not be material. On July 18, 2011, we acquired the intellectual property rights to certain introducer sheath technology. We made an initial payment of $1.0 million in July 2011, and we are obligated to pay an additional $1.0 million upon the earlier of the commercialization of the product or the third anniversary of the effective date of the agreement. The discounted liabilities of $989,000 and $968,000 have been reflected in our consolidated balance sheets in accrued expenses as of December 31, 2013 and as long-term liabilities as of December 31, 2012, respectively. On June 20, 2011, we acquired the intellectual property rights to certain vena cava filter technology. We made an initial payment of $1.0 million in June 2011, and we are obligated to pay up to an additional $3.5 million if certain milestones set forth in the agreement are reached related to further research and development activities and regulatory approval of the vena cava filter. On December 15, 2011, we acquired the intellectual property rights to certain support guide catheter technology. We made an initial payment of $2.0 million in December 2011 and a payment of $1.0 million in May 2012 based on an obligation set forth in the agreement having been met. We paid an additional $1.0 million in January 2013 due to the completion of certain milestones related to regulatory approval of the support guide catheter. The vena cava filter technology, introducer sheath technology, and support guide technology discussed above represented asset acquisitions related to a research and development project and not business combinations. A total charge of approximately $4.9 million related to these acquired in-process research and development assets has been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011, as both technological feasibility of the underlying research and development projects had not yet been reached and such technology had no future alternative use as of the respective date of each asset acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we also abandoned the development of certain biomaterial technology and our covered biliary in-process research and development, resulting in charges of $500,000 and $400,000, respectively. On April 6, 2011, we acquired the manufacturing rights for certain valve technology. We made an initial payment of $500,000 in April 2011 and a final payment of $500,000 in August 2011. We recorded the $1.0 million intangible asset as developed technology for purposes of our consolidated balance sheet and we intend to amortize it over an estimated life of ten years. The goodwill arising from the acquisitions discussed above consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale we hope to achieve from combining the acquired assets and operations with our historical operations (see Note 4). The goodwill recognized from these acquisitions is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
