NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(Unaudited)

  

 

NOTE 1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (“IDEXX,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the requirements of Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01 for financial statements required to be filed as a part of Form 10-Q. 

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. and our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. We do not have any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of our management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a recurring nature. The consolidated balance sheet data at December 31, 2012 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. Reclassifications had no material impact on previously reported results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

Note 2.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

Significant Accounting Policies 

 

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. 

 

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted 

 

 In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities and related arrangements. The amendment expands the disclosure requirements so that entities are now required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and shall be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures. See Note 17 for additional information regarding derivative instruments subject to master netting arrangements.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). The amendment expands the existing disclosure by requiring entities to present information about significant items reclassified out of AOCI by component. In addition, an entity is required to provide information about the effects on net income of significant amounts reclassified out of each component of AOCI to net income either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or as a separate disclosure in the notes of the financial statements. The amendment is effective prospectively for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures. See Note 12 for additional information regarding accumulated other comprehensive income.

NOTE 3.      SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION 

 

The fair value of options, restricted stock units, deferred stock units and employee stock purchase rights awarded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $2.0 million and $18.6 million, respectively, compared to $1.1 million and $16.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, for unvested share-based compensation awards outstanding at June 30, 2013 was $40.2 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years. 

 

We determine the assumptions used in the valuation of option awards as of the date of grant. Differences in the stock price volatility, expected term or risk-free interest rate may necessitate distinct valuation assumptions at each grant date. As such, we may use different assumptions for options granted throughout the year. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of our common stock at the date of grant. We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and we have no present intention to pay a dividend; therefore, we assume that no dividends will be paid over the expected terms of option awards. The weighted averages of the valuation assumptions used to determine the fair value of each option award on the date of grant and the weighted average estimated fair values were as follows: 

 

 

 

Note 4.      Inventories  

 

Inventories include material, labor and overhead, and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The components of inventories were as follows (in thousands): 

 

 

  

 

Note 5.       Goodwill and Intangible Assets, NET 

 

The decrease in goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2013 resulted from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The decrease in intangible assets other than goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2013 resulted from the continued amortization of our intangible assets and changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partly offset by the impact of the acquisition of intangible assets.

 

We acquired a customer list in February 2013 for a purchase price of $1.0 million, which was allocated entirely to intangible assets other than goodwill. All assets acquired in connection with the acquisition were assigned to our Companion Animal Group (“CAG”) segment.

NOTE 6.      Other NONCURRENT ASSETS 

 

Other noncurrent assets consisted of the following (in thousands):  

 

 

  

Note 7.      Accrued liabilities 

 

Accrued liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands): 

 

 

 

  

 

NOTE 8.      WARRANTY RESERVES

 

We provide a standard twelve month warranty on all instruments sold. We recognize the cost of instrument warranties in cost of product revenue at the time revenue is recognized based on the estimated cost to repair the instrument over its warranty period. Cost of product revenue reflects not only estimated warranty expense for instruments sold in the current period, but also any changes in estimated warranty expense for the portion of the aggregate installed base that is under warranty. Estimated warranty expense is based on a variety of inputs, including historical instrument performance in the customers’ environment, historical costs incurred in servicing instruments and projected instrument reliability. Should actual service rates or costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. The liability for warranties is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.  

 

The following is a summary of changes in accrued warranty reserves for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

Note 9.      DEBT

 

In May 2013, we refinanced our existing $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility by entering into an amended and restated credit agreement relating to a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the principal amount of $450 million with a syndicate of multinational banks, which matures on May 8, 2018 (the new credit facility and the previous credit facility are referred to collectively as the “Credit Facility”) and requires no scheduled prepayments before that date. Though the Credit Facility does not mature until May 8, 2018, all amounts borrowed under the terms of the Credit Facility are reflected in the current liabilities section in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because the Credit Facility contains a subjective material adverse event clause, which allows the debt holders to call the loans under the Credit Facility if we fail to notify the syndicate of such an event. The funds available under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 reflect a further reduction due to the issuance of a letter of credit for $1.0 million, which was issued in connection with our workers’ compensation policy covering claims for the years 2009 through 2013.

 

Applicable interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility generally range from 0.875 to 1.25 percentage points (“Credit Spread”) above the London interbank offered rate or the Canadian Dollar-denominated bankers’ acceptance rate,  based on our leverage ratio, or the prevailing prime rate plus a maximum spread of up to 0.25%, based on our leverage ratio. We have entered into forward fixed interest rate swap agreements to manage the economic effect of the first $80 million of variable interest rate borrowings. As such, we continue to designate the existing interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. See Note 17 for a discussion of our derivative instruments and hedging activities. Under the Credit Facility, we pay quarterly commitment fees of 0.15% to 0.30%,  based on our leverage ratio, on any unused commitment.

 

The obligations under the Credit Facility may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility, which includes customary events of default including, without limitation, payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative and negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency related defaults, defaults relating to judgments, certain events related to employee pension benefit plans under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the failure to pay specified indebtedness, and a change of control default. The Credit Facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type. The negative covenants include restrictions on liens, indebtedness of subsidiaries of the Company, fundamental changes, investments, transactions with affiliates and certain restrictive agreements. The financial covenant is a consolidated leverage ratio test that requires our ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, defined as the consolidated leverage ratio under the terms of the Credit Facility, not to exceed 3-to-1. At June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facility.

 

At June 30, 2013, our mortgage is consistent with that discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

 

Note 10.      Repurchases of common STOCK 

 

The following is a summary of our open market common stock repurchases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands, except per share amounts): 

 

 

 

 

We primarily acquire shares by means of repurchases in the open market. However, we also acquire shares that are surrendered by employees in payment for the minimum required withholding taxes due on the vesting of restricted stock units and the settlement of deferred stock units. The number of shares acquired through employee surrenders during both the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was not material. We acquired 46,745 shares having a total cost of $4.3 million in connection with such employee surrenders during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 50,172 shares having a total cost of $4.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

---

 

 

We issue shares of treasury stock upon the vesting of certain restricted stock units and upon the exercise of certain stock options. The number of shares of treasury stock issued during both the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was not material.

 

Note 11.      Income Taxes 

            

Our effective income tax rates were 30.8% and 28.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to 31.9% and 31.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the U.S. legislation authorizing the research and development (R&D) tax credit had expired and no associated tax benefit was recognized within these periods. The decrease in our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was due to federal legislation enacted on January 2, 2013 within the U.S. that retroactively allowed a R&D tax credit for all of 2012 and extended the R&D tax credit through the twelve months ending December 31, 2013.  Because this legislation was enacted in 2013, the full benefit of the R&D tax credit related to the prior year’s activities was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013. 

  

 

Note 12.    ACCUMULATED OTHER Comprehensive Income  

 

The changes in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of the following (in thousands): 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following is a summary of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

Note 13.    Earnings per Share  

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and vested deferred stock units outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased for the assumed exercise of dilutive options and assumed issuance of unvested restricted stock units and unvested deferred stock units using the treasury stock method unless the effect is anti-dilutive. The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds, including cash received from the exercise of employee stock options, the total unrecognized compensation expense for unvested share-based compensation awards and the excess tax benefits resulting from share-based compensation tax deductions in excess of the related expense recognized for financial reporting purposes, would be used to purchase our common stock at the average market price during the period. Vested deferred stock units outstanding are included in shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share because the associated shares of our common stock are issuable for no cash consideration, the number of shares of our common stock to be issued is fixed and issuance is not contingent. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for additional information regarding deferred stock units.  

 

The following is a reconciliation of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):   

 

 

 

Certain options to acquire shares have been excluded from the calculation of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. The following table presents information concerning those anti-dilutive options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands): 

 

 

  

Note 14.    Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees 

 

Significant commitments, contingencies and guarantees at June 30, 2013 are consistent with those discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Note 15.     Segment Reporting 

  

Prior to January 1, 2013, we operated primarily through three business segments: diagnostic and information technology-based products and services for the veterinary market, which we continue to refer to as our Companion Animal Group (“CAG”), water quality products (“Water”) and diagnostic products for livestock and poultry health, which we referred to as Livestock and Poultry Diagnostics. We also operated two smaller operating segments that comprised products for milk quality and safety (“Dairy”) and products for the human point-of-care medical diagnostics market (“OPTI Medical”). Financial information about our Dairy and OPTI Medical operating segments was combined and presented with our remaining pharmaceutical product line and our out-licensing arrangements in an “Other” category because they did not meet the quantitative or qualitative thresholds for reportable segments. 

---

 

 

We have combined the management of our Livestock and Poultry Diagnostics, and Dairy lines of business to more effectively realize the market synergies between the product lines and to achieve operational efficiencies. We refer to this newly created segment as Livestock, Poultry and Dairy (“LPD”). Our OPTI Medical operating segment remains combined and presented with our remaining pharmaceutical product line and our out-licensing arrangements in an “Other” category because they do not meet the quantitative or qualitative thresholds for reportable segments.  The segment income (loss) from operations discussed within this report for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 has been retrospectively revised to reflect this change in the composition of our reportable segments.

 

The following is a summary of segment performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):
