Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Business and basis of presentation | Business and basis of presentation Orthofix International N.V., together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a global medical device company focused on musculoskeletal healing products and value-added services. Headquartered in Lewisville, Texas, the Company has four strategic business units (“SBUs”) that are also its reporting segments: BioStim, Extremity Fixation, Spine Fixation, and Biologics. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, 2018. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to revenue recognition, contractual allowances, doubtful accounts, inventories, goodwill and intangible asset impairment, fair value measurements, litigation and contingent liabilities, income taxes, and share-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
