Long-Term Debt 
French government agencies provide financing to French companies for research and development. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had outstanding loans of $815 and $1,118, respectively for various programs. These loans do not bear interest and are repayable only in the event the research project is technically or commercially successful. Potential repayment is scheduled to occur through 2019. 
During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company repaid $277, $747 and $355, of loans associated with specific research projects, respectively. In addition, during 2015 the Company received waivers of repayment for the remaining portion of certain loans of $1,498 on the basis of limited commercial and technical success. Amounts waived are reported as reductions to R&D expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss). No such waivers were received during 2016 or 2014.
