Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Prior period reclassifications | Prior period reclassifications Amounts previously reported in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as SEC / FCPA matters and related costs have been reclassified to general and administrative expenses to conform with current period presentation, resulting in a decrease of general and administrative expense of $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and an increase in general and administrative expense of $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Market risk | Market risk In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations. The Company’s objective is to limit the impact of such movements on earnings and cash flows. In order to achieve this objective, the Company seeks to balance its non-U.S. Dollar denominated income and expenditures. The financial statements for operations outside the United States are generally maintained in their local currency. All foreign currency denominated balance sheet accounts, except shareholders’ equity, are translated to U.S. Dollars at year end exchange rates and revenue and expense items are translated at weighted average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of shareholders’ equity. Transactional foreign currency gains and losses, including those generated from intercompany operations, are included in other expense, net and were a loss of $3.3 million, gain of $1.9 million, and loss of less than $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Financial instruments and concentration of credit risk | Financial instruments and concentration of credit risk Financial instruments that could subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable. Generally, cash is held at large financial institutions and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid money market funds. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers, generally does not require collateral, and maintains a reserve for potential credit losses. The Company believes that a concentration of credit risk related to the accounts receivable is limited because customers are geographically dispersed and end users are diversified across several industries. Net sales to our customers based in Europe were approximately $69 million in 2018, which results in a substantial portion of our trade accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2018. It is at least reasonably possible that changes in global economic conditions and/or local operating and economic conditions in the regions these distributors operate, or other factors, could affect the future realization of these accounts receivable balances.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. In 2018, restricted cash related to a court order affecting the Company’s local bank accounts for its office in São Paulo, Brazil, as part of an investigation of more than 30 companies, which resulted in the freezing of approximately $2.6 million of the Company’s cash. As such, the Company reclassified this cash balance to restricted cash. Refer to Note 13 for further discussion of this matter.
Research and development costs | Research and development costs, including in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) costs Expenditures related to the collaborative arrangement with MTF Biologics (“MTF”) are expensed based on the terms of the related agreement. No expenditures were incurred for the year ended December 31, 2018 under the collaborative arrangement with MTF and expenditures totaled $0.9 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred. As part of the Spinal Kinetics Inc. acquisition in 2018, the Company recognized $26.8 million of IPR&D costs within patents and other intangible assets, net and recorded additional costs to further develop this acquired IPR&D . See Note 3 for further details. Acquired IPR&D represents the fair value assigned to acquired research and development assets that have not reached technological feasibility. The value assigned to acquired IPR&D is determined by estimating the costs to develop the acquired technology into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting revenues from the projects and discounting the net cash flows to present value. The revenues and costs projections used to value acquired IPR&D are, as applicable, reduced based on the probability of success of developing the asset. Additionally, the estimated revenues consider the relevant market sizes and growth factors, expected trends in technology and the nature and expected timing of new product introductions by the Company and its competitors. The rates utilized to discount the net cash flows to their present value are commensurate with the stage of development of the project and uncertainties in the economic estimates used in the projections. Any future costs to further develop the IPR&D subsequent to acquisition are recorded to research and development expense as incurred. See Note 6 for additional policy discussion related to amortization and impairment testing for IPR&D.
Recently adopted accounting standards and recently issued accounting pronouncements | Adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09. Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. Results for prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under the previous revenue recognition standard, Topic 605. See Note 15 for further details. Adoption of ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10), and ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which was then further clarified in ASU 2018-03, in February 2018. This guidance requires entities to generally measure equity investments at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. However, for certain equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, the new guidance allows companies to measure these investments using a new measurement alternative, which values the investments at cost, less any impairments, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The Company prospectively adopted both ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2018-03 during the first quarter of 2018 now uses the new measurement alternative for the Company’s equity investments in Bone Biologics, Inc. (“Bone Biologics”), which have historically been held at cost. This resulted in an increase in the previously recorded value of the Company’s equity investments in Bone Biologics, which was recorded within other current assets or other long-term assets and other income, of $1.6 million, or $0.09 per share before taxes, during the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, Bone Biologics completed a series of equity financing activities, which provided a new observable price change in an orderly transaction. As a result, the Company determined its investment to be impaired and recorded a charge of $4.4 million in other expense, net, during the third quarter of 2018. See Note 11 for further details. Adoption of ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, which reduces diversity in practice of accounting for intra-entity transfers of assets, particularly for intra-entity transfers of intellectual property. The new standard states an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer when the transfer occurs, as opposed to historical U.S. GAAP guidance which prohibited the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset had been sold to an outside party. During the third and fourth quarters of 2017, the Company executed two intra-entity asset transfers that resulted in prepaid income taxes of $8.6 million. The Company adopted this new standard using a modified retrospective approach as of January 1, 2018, which resulted in a reduction of prepaid income taxes of $8.6 million and an increase in deferred tax assets of $6.7 million, with these changes offset by an adjustment to the Company's retained earnings of $1.9 million. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income or to its consolidated statements of cash flows. Adoption of ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, which reduces diversity in classification and presentation of restricted cash, including transfers between cash and restricted cash, on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018 using a retrospective transition approach. Adoption of this ASU resulted in an increase in net cash from operating activities of $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease in net cash from operating activities of $14.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, and an increase in net cash from operating activities of $14.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Adoption of ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, which clarifies the definition of a business. This amendment states that when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, that the set of assets acquired is not a business, which will likely result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions rather than business combinations. Based upon this guidance, which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2018, the Company accounted for certain transactions during 2018 totaling $3.4 million as asset acquisitions, recognized within patents and other intangible assets, net, rather than business combinations, as the sets of assets acquired did not meet the definition of a business. Recently issued accounting standards
Topic |  | Description of Guidance |  | Effective Date |  | Status of Company's Evaluation
Leases (ASU 2016-02 and other related updates) |  | Requires a lessee to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases classified as operating leases. Applied using a modified retrospective approach. An entity can choose to apply the provisions at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements or at the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company expects to apply the provisions at the beginning of the period of adoption, January 1, 2019. |  | January 1, 2019 |  | The Company established a cross-functional implementation team to analyze the impact of the standard on the Company's population of leases and to evaluate the Company's current accounting policies relating to leases. The Company has evaluated the impact of this ASU, which will result in current operating leases being reflected on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company expects to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $20 million as of January 1, 2019. The Company does not expect material impacts to its consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income or to the consolidated statements of cash flows. Additionally, this guidance will materially change the Company's disclosures, requiring the Company to provide users more quantitative and qualitative information about the Company's leases, any significant judgments required in applying the ASU, and amounts recognized within the consolidated financial statements related to the Company's leases.
Goodwill (ASU 2017-04) |  | Eliminates Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment loss will instead be measured at the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the recorded amount of goodwill. Applied on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. |  | January 1, 2020 |  | The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements. However, the Company does not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial statements or disclosures.
Comprehensive income (ASU 2018-02) |  | Allows entities to reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). Applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Act is recognized. |  | January 1, 2019 |  | The Company anticipates adopting this ASU on January 1, 2019. The adoption will result in an increase to accumulated other comprehensive income and a decrease in retained earnings of $0.9 million.
Fair value measurement (ASU 2018-13) |  | Eliminates certain disclosures, such as the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and adds new disclosure requirements for Level 3 measurements. Certain of the provisions are to be applied retrospectively with other provisions applied prospectively. |  | January 1, 2020 |  | The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.
Implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract (ASU 2018-15) |  | Aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this update. Applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. |  | January 1, 2020 |  | The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.
