Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. These financial statements and related notes contain the accounts of DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. and subsidiaries (“Dentsply Sirona” or the “Company”) on a consolidated basis and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The accounting policies of the Company, as applied in the interim consolidated financial statements presented herein are substantially the same as presented in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as may be indicated below.
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition At June 30, 2020, the Company had $25.7 million of deferred revenue recorded in Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to recognize significantly all of the deferred revenue within the next 12 months.
Accounts and Notes Receivable | Accounts and Notes Receivable The Company records a provision for doubtful accounts, which is included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Accounts and notes receivables – trade, net are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts and trade discounts
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") i ssued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This newly issued accounting standard changes the recognition and measurement of credit losses, including trade accounts receivable. Under current accounting standards, a loss is recognized when such loss becomes probable of occurring. The new standard broadens the information that an entity must consider when developing expected credit loss estimates. The Company adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, disclosures or internal controls. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." This newly issued accounting standard simplifies key provisions for accounting for income taxes, as part of the FASB's initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments eliminate certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The amendments also clarify and simplify other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 31, 2020. The Company adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, disclosures or internal controls. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14 "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." This newly issued accounting standard changes disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans, including removal and modification of existing disclosures. The amendments in this standard are required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The amendments should be applied on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. The Company adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company's disclosures. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 828): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This newly issued accounting standard provides guidance on whether the change in reference rate is a modification versus an extinguishment of a contract. Specifically, there is risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR"). The Company has certain variable interest rate debt that use LIBOR as a reference rate. The guidance provided by this accounting standard may be used for contracts entered into on or before December 31, 2022 on a prospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.
