Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Purchase Obligations In the ordinary course of business, the Company issues purchase orders based on its current manufacturing needs. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had non-cancelable purchase commitments of $170.1 million, of which $158.5 million are expected to be paid within the next twelve months. Legal Proceedings The Company is currently involved in various legal proceedings. A class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, on June 5, 2019, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, captioned Corey Heard, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Omnicell, Inc., Case No. 2019-CH-06817 (the “Heard Action”). The complaint seeks class certification, monetary damages in the form of statutory damages for willful and/or reckless or, in the alternative, negligent violation of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”), and certain declaratory, injunctive, and other relief based on causes of action directed to allegations of violation of BIPA by the Company. The complaint was served on the Company on June 13, 2019. On July 31, 2019, the Company filed a motion to stay or consolidate the case with the action Yana Mazya, et al. v. Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital, et al., Case No. 2018-CH-07161, pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division (the “Mazya Action”). The Court subsequently, on October 10, 2019, denied the motion, without prejudice, as being moot in view of the dismissal of the claims against the Company in the Mazya Action. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in the Heard Action on October 31, 2019. The hearing on the Company’s motion to dismiss was held on September 2, 2020. The Court ruled from the bench and dismissed the complaint without prejudice giving plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint by September 30, 2020. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on September 30, 2020 and the Company subsequently filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on October 28, 2020, which was fully briefed, but the Court had not heard oral argument on the motion. The parties entered into a settlement agreement on January 25, 2022. On February 1, 2022, the Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. The Court has scheduled a status conference for June 1, 2022. Subject to final approval of the settlement, the Company intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously. On December 21, 2020, Becton, Dickinson and Company (“BD”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, asserting claims of misappropriation under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, misappropriation under the North Carolina Trade Secrets Protection Act, unfair competition, and unfair/deceptive trade practices in violation of North Carolina law (the “BD Complaint”). This action (the “BD Action”) was commenced in relation to another action brought by BD, in the same Court (the “Related Matter”) against a former BD employee who is also a former Company employee (the “Former Employee”) alleging that the Former Employee had violated the Former Employee’s legal obligations to BD regarding BD’s confidential and trade secret information when the Former Employee allegedly downloaded certain documents from BD’s information technology system following the end of the Former Employee’s employment with BD. In connection with the Related Matter, BD, the Former Employee, and the Company entered into a protocol with the purpose of facilitating the return to BD of any BD documents that may have been resident, as a result of the Former Employee’s actions, on any devices belonging to the Former Employee or the Company. The BD Complaint seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages in the form of compensatory, punitive, and exemplary damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On March 17, 2021, the parties filed a joint motion to stay the BD Action, which motion was granted by the Court on June 8, 2021. The stay has since been lifted and the Company’s answer to the BD Complaint is due March 9, 2022, unless an extension to such stay is mutually agreed to by the parties and approved by the Court. The Company intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously. As required under ASC 450, Contingencies, the Company accrues for contingencies when it believes that a loss is probable and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of any such loss. The Company has not recorded any material accrual for contingent liabilities associated with the legal proceedings described above based on its belief that any potential material loss, while reasonably possible, is not probable. Further, any possible range of loss in these matters cannot be reasonably estimated at this time or is not deemed material. The Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to these legal proceedings pending against it. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of any of these legal proceedings or because of the diversion of management’s attention and the creation of significant expenses. Guarantees Under the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the Company has agreed to indemnify its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware and other applicable law, subject to certain exceptions. The Company has entered into individual indemnification agreements with its directors and officers. The term of the indemnification period is for the entirety of the director’s or officer’s service to the Company and continues so long as the director or officer may be subject to any claim, action, or proceeding, and there is no limit on the potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements. The Company has purchased a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that may enable it to recover a portion of any future payments that it may be required to make under these indemnification agreements. Assuming the applicability of coverage and the willingness of the insurer to assume coverage and subject to certain retention, loss limits, and other policy provisions, the Company believes it is unlikely that the Company will be required to pay any material amounts pursuant to these indemnification obligations. However, no assurances can be given that the insurers will not attempt to dispute the validity, applicability, or amount of coverage without expensive and time-consuming litigation against the insurers. Additionally, the Company undertakes indemnification obligations in its ordinary course of business in connection with, among other things, the licensing of its products and the provision of its support services. In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company has in the past and may in the future agree to indemnify another party, generally its business affiliates or customers, against certain losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with various types of claims, which may include, without limitation, claims of intellectual property infringement, certain tax liabilities, its gross negligence or intentional acts in the performance of support services, and violations of laws. The term of these indemnification obligations is generally perpetual. In general, the Company attempts to limit the maximum potential amount of future payments that it may be required to make under these indemnification obligations to the amounts paid to it by a customer, but in some cases the obligation may not be so limited. In addition, the Company has in the past and may in the future warrant to its customers that its products will conform to functional specifications for a limited period of time following the date of installation (generally not exceeding 30 days) or that its software media is free from material defects. Sales contracts for certain of the Company’s medication packaging systems often include limited warranties for up to six months, but the periodic activity and ending warranty balances the Company records have historically not been material. From time to time, the Company may also warrant that its professional services will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner or in a professional manner consistent with industry standards. The Company generally seeks to disclaim most warranties, including any implied or statutory warranties such as warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quality, and non-infringement, as well as any liability with respect to incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or similar damages. In some states, such disclaimers may not be enforceable. If necessary, the Company would provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history. The Company has not been subject to any significant claims for such losses and has not incurred any material costs in defending or settling claims related to these indemnification obligations. Accordingly, the Company believes it is unlikely that the Company will be required to pay any material amounts pursuant to these indemnification obligations or potential warranty claims and, therefore, no material liabilities have been recorded for such indemnification obligations as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
