Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | 1. Basis of Presentation Novanta Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, referred to as “Novanta”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a leading global supplier of core technology solutions that give medical and advanced industrial original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) a competitive advantage. Novanta combines deep proprietary technology expertise and competencies in precision medicine, precision manufacturing, robotics and automation, and advanced surgery with a proven ability to solve complex technical challenges. This enables Novanta to engineer core components and sub-systems that deliver extreme precision and performance, tailored to the customers' demanding applications. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in United States (“U.S.”) dollars and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the instructions to Form 10-Q and the provisions of Regulation S-X pertaining to interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, these interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments and accruals of a normal and recurring nature necessary to fairly state the results of the interim periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any future periods. The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared for each quarterly period ending on the Friday closest to the end of the calendar quarter, with the exception of the fourth quarter which always ends on December 31. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period in which such revisions are deemed to be necessary. The Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience, current conditions, and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The following table provides a brief description of recent Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”):
Standard |  | Description |  | Effective Date |  | Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.” |  | ASU 2023-06 clarifies or improves disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics, which allow users to easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements with those entities that were not previously subject to such requirements and align the requirements in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification with the SEC’s regulations. |  | The effective date for each amendment in ASU 2023-06 will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. |  | The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-06 on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
Standard |  | Description |  | Effective Date |  | Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) -Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." |  | ASU 2023-09 provides more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. |  | The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. |  | The amendments in this update affects financial statement disclosure only and, as a result, will have no impact on results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” |  | ASU 2024-03 improves financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at both interim and annual reporting periods. |  | The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. |  | The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
