Item 8.01.
Other Events
PPD, Inc. (the “Company” or “we” or “our”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to recast certain previously reported amounts to conform with the segment reporting changes made during the first quarter of 2020 based on how the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews performance and allocates resources, with respect to the financial information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”).
The Company's CODM assesses segment performance and makes resource allocation decisions based on segment revenues and segment operating income. During the first quarter of 2020, the CODM began assessing segment performance and making resource allocation decisions based on total segment revenue, including direct, third-party pass-through and out-of-pocket revenue and segment operating income, including reimbursed costs. Previously, certain revenue amounts and reimbursed costs were not allocated to segments, whereas following the change, all revenue and reimbursed costs are allocated to the respective segment.
As a result, the Company has updated its segment presentation for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, which have been recast to reflect the change in the measurement of segment performance measures. No changes have been made to the segment presentation for the year ended December 31, 2017, as prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on January 1, 2018, third-party pass-through and out-of-pocket revenue, as well as reimbursed costs, were not allocated to the Company’s segments.
The Company is filing this Form 8-K voluntarily to recast its consolidated financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, to reflect the changes in segment presentation as described above in order to be consistent with the segment presentation in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020. The updates do not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements. The recast information of Items contained in the 2019 Form 10-K is presented in Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 to this Form 8-K.
The information included in this Form 8-K is presented for informational purposes only in connection with the reporting changes described above and does not amend or restate other information within our audited consolidated financial statements, which were included in the 2019 Form 10-K. This Form 8-K does not reflect events occurring after we filed our 2019 Form 10-K and does not in any way modify or update the disclosures therein, other than to illustrate the changes made based on how the CODM assesses segment performance and makes resource allocation decisions as described above. For developments subsequent to the filing of the 2019 Form 10-K, refer to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020.
