Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (“Dentsply Sirona” or the “Company”), is the world’s largest manufacturer of dental products and technologies, with a 137-year history of innovation and service to the dental industry and patients worldwide. The Company’s principal product categories include dental consumable products, dental equipment, dental technologies and continence care consumable products. The Company sells its products in over 150 countries under some of the most well-established brand names in the industry. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. 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 materially from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include deposits with banks as well as highly liquid time deposits with original maturities of ninety days or less. The balance as of December 31, 2023 includes $42 million of cash and cash equivalents located in Russia which is available for use in local operations but limited in its ability to be transferred out of the country due to control measures currently in place by the Russian government. Short-term Investments Short-term investments are highly liquid time deposits with original maturities greater than ninety days and with remaining maturities of one year or less. Accounts Receivable The Company recognizes a receivable when it has an unconditional right to payment, which represents the amount the Company expects to collect in a transaction. Payment terms are typically 30 days in the United States but may be longer in markets outside the U.S. In general, contracts containing significant financing components are not material to the Company’s financial statements. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an estimate of current expected credit losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The allowance is determined based on a combination of factors, including the length of time that the receivable is past due, history of write-offs, and the Company’s knowledge of circumstances relating to specific customers’ ability to meet their financial obligations. The provision for doubtful accounts is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For customers on credit terms, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of those customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral from them. See Note 2, Revenue, for additional information on Accounts Receivable. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based upon the first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) or average cost methods. The Company establishes reserves for inventory estimated to be excess, obsolete or unmarketable based upon assumptions about future demand, market conditions, and expiration of products. Valuation of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually in accordance with U.S. GAAP as of April 1 of each year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. The Company performs impairment tests by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount to determine if there is a potential impairment. If the carrying value of a reporting unit with goodwill exceeds its respective fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess amount. Additional information related to the testing for goodwill impairment, including results of the annual test performed as of April 1, 2023 and the interim impairment assessment performed in the third quarter of 2023, is provided in Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of tradenames and trademarks and in-process research and development (“R&D”) acquired in business combinations, and these are not subject to amortization. Valuations of indefinite-lived intangibles assets acquired in business combinations are based on information and assumptions available at the time of their acquisition, using income and market approaches to determine fair value. The Company conducts an impairment test in accordance with U.S. GAAP as of April 1 of each year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired. Potential impairment is identified by comparing the fair value of an intangible asset to its carrying value. Additional information related to the testing for indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment, including results of the annual test performed as of April 1, 2023 and the interim impairment assessment performed in the third quarter of 2023, is provided in Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Definite-Lived Intangible Assets Definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of patents, tradenames, trademarks, licensing agreements, developed technology, and customer relationships. The valuation of definite-lived intangibles assets acquired in business combinations is based on information and assumptions available at the time of acquisition, using income and market model approaches to determine fair value. Identifiable definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a basis that best reflects how their economic benefits are utilized over the life of the asset or on a straight-line basis if not materially different from actual utilization. The useful life is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute to the future cash flows of the Company. The Company uses the following useful lives for its definite-lived intangible assets:
Definite-Lived Intangible Asset Type |  | Useful Life
Patents |  | Up to the date the patent expires
Tradenames and trademarks |  | Up to 20 years
Licensing agreements |  | Up to 20 years
Customer relationships |  | Up to 15 years
Developed technology |  | Up to 15 years
When the expected useful life of an intangible is not known, the Company will estimate its useful life based on similar asset or asset groups, any legal, regulatory, or contractual provision that limits the useful life, the effect of economic factors, including obsolescence, demand, competition, and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future economic benefit from the asset. These assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company closely monitors all intangible assets, including those related to new and existing technologies, for indicators of impairment as these assets have more risk of becoming impaired. Impairment is based upon an initial evaluation of the identifiable undiscounted cash flows. If the initial evaluation identifies a potential impairment, a fair value of the asset is determined by using a discounted cash flows valuation. If impaired, the resulting charge reflects the excess of the asset’s carrying cost over its fair value. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Assets acquired through acquisitions are recorded at fair value. The Company capitalizes costs incurred in the development or acquisition of software, whether for internal or external use, and expenses costs incurred in the preliminary project planning stage. E xcept for leasehold improvements, depreciation and amortization is computed by the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives:
Property, Plant and Equipment Assets Type |  | Useful Life
Buildings | 40 years
Machinery and Equipment | 4 to 15 years
Capitalized Software | 2 to 10 years
Leasehold Improvements | Shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; replacements and major improvements are capitalized. If events or circumstances exist which suggest that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable, the identifiable undiscounted cash flows of the asset group are compared to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value is in excess of the identifiable undiscounted cash flows, the excess of the asset group’s carrying cost over its fair value is recorded as an impairment charge. Leases The Company leases real estate, automobiles and equipment under various operating and finance leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the implicit rate is not readily determinable in most of the Company’s lease agreements, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available, at commencement of the lease to determine the present value of lease payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Any new real estate and equipment operating lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, are accounted for as a single lease component; auto leases are accounted for as separate lease components. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 1 year to 9 years. Many of the Company’s real estate and equipment leases have one or more options to renew, with terms that can extend primarily from 1 year to 3 years, which are not included in the initial lease term until considered reasonably certain of renewal. The Company does not have lease agreements with residual value guarantees, sale-and-leaseback terms, or material restrictive covenants. The Company does not have any material sublease arrangements. See Note 10, Leases for additional information. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company employs derivative financial instruments to hedge certain anticipated transactions, firm commitments, and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, the Company manages exposures to changes in interest rates by utilizing interest rate swaps that have the effect of converting floating rate debt to fixed rate, or vice versa. The benefit or loss from interest rate swaps is recorded in Interest expense, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations consistent with the classification of interest expense attributable to the underlying debt. The Company records all derivative instruments at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded each period in the consolidated statements of operations or accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). The Company classifies derivative assets and liabilities as current when the remaining term of the derivative contract is one year or less. The Company has elected to classify the cash flows from derivative instruments in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged. Should the Company enter into a derivative instrument that includes an other-than-insignificant financing element then all cash flows will be classified as financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as required by U.S. GAAP. See Note 19, Financial Instruments for additional information on derivative instruments. Pension and Other Postemployment Benefits Some of the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are covered by government or Company-sponsored defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. Additionally, certain salaried employee groups in the United States are covered by postemployment healthcare plans. Projected benefit obligations and net periodic costs for Company-sponsored defined benefit and postemployment benefit plans are based on an annual actuarial valuation that includes assessment of key assumptions relating to expected return on plan assets, discount rates, employee compensation increase rates and health care cost trends. Expected return on plan assets, discount rates and health care cost trend assumptions are particularly important when determining the Company’s benefit obligations and net periodic benefit costs associated with postemployment benefits. Changes in these assumptions can impact the Company’s earnings. In determining the cost of postemployment benefits, certain assumptions are established annually to reflect market conditions and plan experience to appropriately reflect the expected costs as determined by actuaries. These assumptions include medical inflation trend rates, discount rates, employee turnover and mortality rates. The Company predominantly uses liability durations in establishing its discount rates, which are observed from indices of high-grade corporate bond yields in the respective economic regions of the plans. The expected return on plan assets is the weighted average long-term expected return based upon asset allocations and historic average returns for the markets where the assets are invested, principally in foreign locations. The Company reports the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postemployment benefit plans on its consolidated balance sheets as a net liability or asset. Additional information related to the impact of changes in these assumptions is provided in Note 17, Benefit Plans. Accruals for Self-Insured Losses The Company maintains insurance for certain risks, including workers’ compensation, and is self-insured for employee related healthcare benefits. The Company accrues for the expected costs associated with these risks by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other relevant information. Costs are recognized in the period the claim is incurred, and the financial statement accruals include an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company has stop-loss coverage to limit its exposure to any significant exposure on a per claim basis. Litigation The Company and its subsidiaries, from time to time, are parties to lawsuits arising from operations. The Company records liabilities when a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates are in the form of ranges, the Company records the liabilities at the most likely outcome within the range. If no point within the range represents a better estimate of the probable loss, then the low point in the range is accrued. The ranges established by management are based on analysis made by internal and external legal counsel who considers the best information known at the time. If the Company determines that a contingency is reasonably possible, it considers the same information to estimate the possible exposure and discloses any material potential liability. These loss contingencies are monitored regularly for a change in fact or circumstance that would require an accrual adjustment. Legal costs related to these lawsuits are expensed as incurred. Foreign Currency Translation The local currency of foreign operations is generally considered to be their functional currency. In the case of operations within highly inflationary economies, which for the Company include Argentina and Turkey, the Company remeasures the financial statements of entities in those countries with the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Adjustments resulting from the process of translating the financial statements of entities with foreign functional currencies into U.S. dollars are included in AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had a translation gain of $78 million and a loss on its loans designated as hedges of net investments of $29 million. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had a translation loss of $188 million and a gain on its loans designated as hedges of net investments of $32 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had a translation loss of $225 million and a gain on its loans designated as hedges of net investments of $46 million. Foreign currency gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included within Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company had a net foreign currency gain of $3 million, loss of $6 million and gain of $12 million, respectively. Revenue Recognition Revenues are derived primarily from the sale of dental equipment and dental and healthcare consumable products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services in accordance with ASC 606-10, Revenues from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; this occurs with the transfer of control of products and services to its customers, which for products generally occurs when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer, and for services generally occurs as the customer receives and consumes the benefit. Sales, value-added, and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Certain contracts with our customers include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately may require significant judgment. The Company generally uses an observable price, typically average selling price, to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations. The Company determines the stand-alone selling price, based on Company geographic sales locations’ database of pricing and discounting practices for the specific product or service when sold separately, and utilizes this data to arrive at average selling prices by product. In cases where an average selling price is not observable, the Company determines the stand-alone selling price using relevant information and applies suitable estimation methods including, but not limited to, the cost plus a margin approach. Revenue is then allocated proportionately, based on the determined stand-alone selling price, to each distinct performance obligation. The Company exercises judgment in estimating variable consideration, which primarily includes volume discounts, sales rebates, and product returns. The Company adjusts the estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration can be estimated, the amount expected to be received changes, or when the consideration becomes fixed. The Company estimates volume discounts by evaluating specific inputs and assumptions, including the individual customer’s historical and estimated future product purchases. Discounts are deducted from revenue at the time of sale or when the discount is offered, whichever is later. In estimating sales rebates, the Company evaluates inputs such as customer-specific trends, terms of the customers’ contracted rebate program, historical experience, and the forecasted performance of a customer and their expected level of achievement within the rebate programs. The accruals for these rebate programs are updated as actual results and updated forecasts impact the estimated achievement for customers within the rebate programs. When the Company gives customers the right to return eligible products and receive credit, returns are estimated based on an analysis of historical experience. However, returns of products, excluding warranty-related returns, are not material. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company applies judgment in constraining the estimated variable consideration due to factors that may cause reversal of cumulative revenue recognized. The Company evaluates constraints based on its historical and projected experience with similar customer contracts. For most of its products, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when products are shipped from the Company’s manufacturing facility or warehouse to the customer. For contracts with customers that contain destination shipping terms, revenue is not recognized until the goods are delivered to the agreed upon destination. As such, the Company’s performance obligations related to product sales are satisfied at a point in time as this is when the customer obtains the use of and substantially all of the benefit of the product. The Company recognizes revenue from support and maintenance contracts, extended warranties, and other certain contract performance obligations over time based on the period of the contracts or as the services are performed, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance of the services. In general, the total amount of revenue recognized over time is not material to the Company’s financial statements. Depending on the terms of its contracts, the Company may defer the recognition of a portion of revenue on a relative stand-alone selling price basis when certain performance obligations are not yet satisfied. Consideration received from customers in advance of revenue recognition is classified as deferred revenue. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost within the cost of products sold, and records shipping and handling costs collected from customers in net sales. The Company has adopted one practical expedient: relief from considering the existence of a significant financing component when the payment for the good or service is expected to be one year or less. Additional information and disclosure regarding revenue recognition is provided in Note 2, Revenue. Cost of Products Sold Cost of products sold represents costs directly related to the manufacture and distribution of the Company’s products, and include costs of raw materials, packaging, direct labor, overhead, shipping and handling, warehousing and the depreciation of manufacturing, warehousing and distribution facilities and amortization of intangible assets. Overhead and related expenses include salaries, wages, employee benefits, utilities, lease costs, maintenance and property taxes. Warranties The Company provides manufacturer’s warranties on certain equipment products. Estimated warranty costs are accrued when sales are made to customers. Estimates for warranty costs are based primarily on historical warranty claim experience. Warranty costs are included in Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s warranty expense and warranty accrual were as follows:
|  | December 31,
(in millions) |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | 2021
Warranty Expense |  | $ | 48 |  |  | $ | 27 |  |  | $ | 44 |
Warranty Accrual |  | 24 |  |  | 22 |  |  | 28 |
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses SG&A represents indirect costs associated with generating revenues and in managing the business of the Company. Such costs include advertising and marketing expenses, salaries, employee benefits, incentive compensation, travel, office expenses, lease costs, amortization of capitalized software developed for internal use, and depreciation of administrative facilities. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Research and Development Costs R&D costs, including internal labor costs, material costs, consulting expenses, and certain overheads, such as facilities and information technology costs directly attributable to R&D activities, are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Software development costs related to software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed incurred prior to the attainment of technological feasibility are considered R&D and are expensed as incurred. Once technological feasibility is established, the cost of software developed for external use is capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Amortization of these costs are included in Cost of products sold over the estimated life of the products. Stock Compensation Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date at fair value, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity awards). The compensation cost is only recognized for the portion of the awards that are expected to vest. Stock options granted become exercisable as determined by the grant agreement and expire ten years after the date of grant under these plans. Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) vest as determined by the grant agreement and are subject to a service condition, which requires grantees to remain employed by the Company during the period following the date of grant. Under the terms of the RSUs, the vesting period is referred to as the restricted period. In addition to the service condition, certain granted RSUs are subject to performance requirements that can vary between the first year and up to the final year of the RSU award. If targeted performance is not met the RSU granted is adjusted to reflect the achievement level. Upon the expiration of the applicable restricted period and the satisfaction of all conditions imposed, the restrictions on RSUs will lapse, and shares of common stock will be issued as payment for each vested RSU. Upon death, disability or qualified retirement all awards become immediately exercisable for up to one year. Awards are expensed as compensation over their respective vesting periods or to the eligible retirement date if shorter. The Company records forfeitures on stock-based compensation as the participant terminates rather than estimating forfeitures. Income Taxes The Company’s tax expense includes U.S. and international income taxes plus the provision for U.S. taxes on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries not considered to be permanently invested. Tax credits and other incentives reduce tax expense in the year the credits are claimed. Certain items of income and expense are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effect of such temporary differences is reported as deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized in future years. The Company establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which realization is not likely. The Company applies a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The Company’s tax positions are subject to ongoing examinations by the tax authorities. The Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions throughout the world and in the normal course of business is examined by taxing authorities in those jurisdictions. Adjustments to the uncertain tax positions are recorded when taxing authority examinations are completed, statutes of limitation are closed, changes in tax laws occur or as new information comes to light regarding to the technical merits of the tax position. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period, adjusted for the effect of an assumed exercise of all dilutive options outstanding at the end of the period, unless the impact of including these options is anti-dilutive. Business Acquisitions The Company acquires businesses as well as partial interests in businesses. Acquired businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires the Company to record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values with the excess of the purchase price over estimated fair values recorded as goodwill. The Company obtains information during due diligence and through other sources to establish respective fair values. Examples of factors and information that the Company uses to determine the fair values include: tangible and intangible asset valuations and appraisals, and evaluations of existing contingencies, liabilities, and product line information. If the initial valuation for an acquisition is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurred, the Company will record provisional estimates in the financial statements. The provisional estimates will be finalized as soon as information becomes available, but not later than one year from the acquisition date. As part of purchase accounting for acquisitions, the Company values identified intangible assets using an income approach. Technology know-how is valued using an excess earnings method. Tradename and trademark assets are valued using a relief-from-royalty method. Non-compete agreements are valued using a with-and-without method. The Company applies judgment in estimating the fair value of intangible assets acquired, which involves the use of estimates and assumptions with respect to revenue growth rates, EBITDA margin percentages, royalty rate, technology obsolescence factors, useful lives of the assets and discount rates used in computing present values. In addition, the estimates of useful lives of these acquired intangibles are used to calculate depreciation and amortization expense. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $8 million, consisting primarily of legal and professional fees, which were recorded in SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These costs were not material for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates Investments in non-consolidated affiliates, joint ventures and partnerships where the Company maintains significant influence over an entity but does not have control are accounted for using the equity method. The Company records the carrying value of these investments within other noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and records the Company’s proportional share of the investees’ net earnings or losses within other expense (income). Investments in which the Company does not exercise significant influence are recorded at cost, and assessed for any other-than-temporary impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable. On December 7, 2023, the Company sold its minority interest in a UK-based, privately-held provider of healthcare consumables for $13 million. Prior to the sale, the Company recorded a loss of $4 million in Other expense (income), net due to a forfeiture of accumulated earnings on the investment for declining its option to purchase the remaining ownership interest. The Company's equity-method net losses were $4 million, $36 million, and $10 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 respectively. Loss from equity method investments for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes $36 million recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for a write-off of the Company’s ownership position in a privately-held dental investment company following impairment of underlying investments held by the investment company and the Company’s determination that the remaining investment is not recoverable. Noncontrolling Interests The Company reports noncontrolling interest (“NCI”) in a subsidiary as a separate component of Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, the Company reports the portion of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributed to the Company and NCI separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Segment Reporting The Company has numerous operating businesses covering a wide range of products and geographic regions, primarily serving the professional dental market and to a lesser extent the consumable medical device market. The Company has four reportable segments and a description of the activities within these segments is included in Note 6, Segment and Geographic Information. Fair Value Measurement Recurring Basis The Company records certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance, which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date in current markets. The accounting guidance establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The three broad levels defined by the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. These financial instruments include derivative instruments whose fair value have been derived using a model where inputs to the model are directly observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 - Instruments that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Pricing observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of pricing observability and a lesser degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial assets and liabilities rarely traded or not quoted will generally have less, or no pricing observability and a higher degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Additionally, the Company considers its credit risks and its counterparties’ credit risks when determining the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities. The Company records its derivatives and contingent considerations on a recurring fair value basis. The Company believes the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts), prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company has presented the required disclosures in Note 20, Fair Value Measurement. Non-Recurring Basis When events or circumstances require an asset or liability to be measured at fair value that otherwise is generally recorded based on another valuation method, such as, net realizable value, the Company will utilize the valuation techniques described above. The Company records its business combinations and impairments on a non-recurring basis. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. The new standard requirement to measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination at fair value differs from the current approach. The amendments in this update were effective for the fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this accounting standard on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which requires public entities to disclose information about significant expenses in their reportable segment results on both an interim and annual basis. Public entities are required to disclose significant expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. Significant expense categories are derived from expenses that are regularly reported to an entity’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) and included in a segment’s reported measures of profit or loss. Public entities are also required to disclose the title and position of the CODM and explain how the CODM uses the reported measures of profit or loss to assess segment performance. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, early adoption is permitted and should be applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which requires public entities to disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid on an annual basis. The amendment in the ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, early adoption is permitted and should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
