Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS | GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill In accordance with FASB Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually in the third quarter. Additionally, the Company may perform interim tests of goodwill for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The carrying value of each reporting unit is determined by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units. The Company tests for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors, including reporting unit specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company may elect to bypass this qualitative evaluation for some or all of its reporting units and perform a quantitative test. The quantitative test uses a combination of both an income approach and a market approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The income approach utilizes the estimated discounted cash flows for the reporting unit, while the market approach utilizes comparable publicly-traded companies’ revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples. Estimates and assumptions used in the income approach to calculate projected future discounted cash flows included revenue growth rates, cost of sales, terminal growth rates, and a discount rate for each reporting unit. Discount rates are determined using a weighted average cost of capital for risk factors specific to each reporting unit and other market and industry data. The assumptions used are inherently subject to uncertainty and slight changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the concluded value. The estimates and assumptions applied represent a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 inputs are supported by limited or no market activity and reflect the Company’s assumptions in measuring fair value. The key assumptions impacting the valuation included the following: •The reporting unit’s financial projections, including revenue growth rates and cost of sales, which are based on management’s assessment of regional and macroeconomic variables, industry trends and market opportunities, and the Company’s strategic objectives and future growth plans. •The projected terminal value for the reporting unit, which represents the present value of projected cash flows beyond the last period in the discounted cash flow analysis. The terminal value reflects the Company’s assumptions related to long-term growth rates and profitability, which are based on several factors, including local and macroeconomic variables, market opportunities, and future growth plans. •The discount rate used to measure the present value of the projected future cash flows is set using a weighted-average cost of capital method that considers market and industry data as well as the Company’s specific risk factors that are likely to be considered by a market participant. The weighted-average cost of capital is the Company’s estimate of the overall after-tax rate of return required by equity and debt holders of a business enterprise. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative evaluations of its Tissue Technologies, Neurosurgery, and Instruments and ENT reporting units and perform quantitative tests. The quantitative test for the Tissue Technologies reporting unit utilized a terminal growth rate of 2.5% and a discount rate of 12.5% in the income approach. The Company determined, after performing the quantitative analysis, that the fair value of the Tissue Technologies reporting unit was not less than its carrying amount, with 21.2% headroom. The quantitative test for the Neurosurgery reporting unit utilized a terminal growth rate of 2.5% and a discount rate of 12.0% in the income approach. The Company determined, after performing the quantitative analysis, that the fair value of the Neurosurgery reporting unit was not less than its carrying amount, with 11.7% headroom. The quantitative test for the Instruments and ENT reporting unit utilized a terminal growth rate of 2.5% and a discount rate of 11.5% in the income approach. The Company determined, after performing the quantitative analysis, that the fair value of the Instruments and ENT reporting unit was not less than its carrying amount, with 22.1% headroom. Based on the results of these quantitative tests, the Company recorded no impairment of goodwill for Tissue Technologies, Neurosurgery, or Instruments and ENT reporting units. The Company performed a hypothetical sensitivity analysis of the fair value for each reporting unit by increasing the discount rate by 50 basis points, decreasing the terminal growth rate by 50 basis points, and holding all other assumptions constant, which resulted in a decrease to the estimated fair value of the Tissue Technology reporting unit by 4.5%, a decrease to the estimated fair value of the Neurosurgery reporting unit by 3.8%, and a decrease to the estimated fair value of the Instruments and ENT reporting unit by 3.5%. Based on the results of the hypothetical sensitivity analyses, the Company would still not have recorded an impairment of goodwill for Tissue Technologies, Neurosurgery, or Instruments and ENT reporting units. During the first quarter of 2024, due to third-party audit findings and an update to the estimated timeframe to resume the commercial distribution of products manufactured in the Company’s manufacturing facility located in Boston, Massachusetts (the “Boston facility”), the Company elected to perform a quantitative analysis of its Tissue Technologies reporting unit. The quantitative test utilized a terminal growth rate of 2.0% and a discount rate of 14.5% in the income approach. An impairment loss is recognized when the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company determined, after performing the quantitative analysis, that the fair value of the Tissue Technologies reporting unit was not less than its carrying amount, with 19.9% headroom. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill in 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives The Company does not amortize intangible assets with indefinite lives but tests its intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the third quarter in accordance with ASC 350. Additionally, the Company performs interim tests of its intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a indefinite lived intangible asset below its carrying amount. The Company tests for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors, including specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The Company may elect to bypass this qualitative evaluation and perform a quantitative test. The quantitative test uses an income approach to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. The income approach utilizes the estimated discounted cash flows for the indefinite-lived intangible asset. Estimates and assumptions used in the income approach to calculate projected future discounted cash flows included revenue growth rates, operating margins, and a discount rate for each indefinite-lived intangible asset. Discount rates are determined using a weighted average cost of capital that considers market and industry data as well as the Company’s specific risk factors that are likely to be considered by a market participant. The weighted-average cost of capital is the Company’s estimate of the overall after-tax rate of return required by equity and debt holders of a business enterprise. The assumptions used are inherently subject to uncertainty and slight changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the concluded value. The estimates and assumptions applied represent a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy described in ASC 820. Level 3 inputs are supported by limited or no market activity and reflect the Company’s assumptions in measuring fair value. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative evaluation for its Codman trade name intangible asset and perform a quantitative test during the third quarter 2024. In performing this test, the Company utilized a discount rate of 13.0%. The assumptions used in evaluating the Codman trade name for impairment are subject to change and are tracked against historical results by management. Based on the results of the quantitative test, the Company recorded no impairment to the Codman trade name intangible asset. Intangible Assets with Definite Lives Developed technologies and other definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives either using the straight-line method or, if reliably determinable, based on the pattern of which the economic benefit of the asset is expected to be utilized. Definite-lived intangible assets are periodically evaluated for impairment in accordance with FASB Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, (“ASC 360”) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a definite-lived intangible asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation for recoverability involves comparing the carrying amount of the definite-lived intangible asset to the C ompany’s expectations of the future undiscounted cash flows derived from the definite-lived intangible asset. In the event the carrying value of the definite-lived intangible asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the definite-lived intangible asset over its remaining estimated useful life, the definite-lived intangible asset is considered not recoverable and the definite-lived intangible asset is tested for impairment. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the definite-lived intangible asset’s carrying value over its fair value, calculated using market participant assumptions pursuant to ASC 820 using discounted future cash flows based on the present value of estimated future cash flows to be generated by the definite-lived intangible asset using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The impairment loss is recognized in the period that the impairment occurs. In the first quarter of 2024, due to third-party audit findings and an update to the estimated timeframe to resume the commercial distribution of products manufactured in the Boston facility, the Company elected to perform quantitative impairment testing on certain definite-lived intangible assets including completed technology and customer relationships in accordance with ASC 360. The Company recorded an impairment charge related to the definite-lived intangible asset associated with the customer relationships of $7.1 million in intangible asset amortization in the consolidated statement of operations. With respect to the definite-lived intangible assets associated with the completed technology of SurgiMend® and PriMatrix®, the Company determined that the carrying amount of these definite-lived intangible assets were recoverable and, therefore, the intangible assets were not deemed to be impaired. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company approved a plan to transition the commercial distribution of SurgiMend® and PriMatrix® from the Boston facility to the Company’s manufacturing facility in Braintree, Massachusetts (the “Braintree facility”). The Company considered the impact to the update to the estimated timeframe to resume the commercial distribution of products manufactured in the Boston facility on the assumptions used in the quantitative assessment of the definite-lived intangible assets completed in the first quarter of 2024, which did not require further evaluation for impairment. The carrying values of SurgiMend® and PriMatrix® are $32.8 million and $24.4 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. Amortization expense (including amounts reported in cost of product revenues) for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $105.2 million, $82.8 million, and $78.3 million, respectively. Annual amortization expense is expected to approximate $106.0 million in 2025, $105.8 million in 2026, $104.9 million in 2027, $101.3 million in 2028, $96.0 million in 2029, and $528.2 million thereafter. Amortization of product technology based intangible assets totaled $84.0 million, $70.4 million and $64.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and is presented by the Company within cost of goods sold.
