Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies
Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those which are normal and recurring) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included.
When preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the Company must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Additionally, operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. Subsequent events have been evaluated up to the date of issuance of these financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes, which are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 2020.
Significant Accounting Policies—The significant accounting policies identified in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K that require the Company to make estimates and assumptions include: revenue recognition, inventory obsolescence, long-lived assets and intangible assets, accounting for stock-based compensation, contingencies, tax valuation reserves, fair value measures, and accrued expenses. There were no changes to significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, except for the adoption of the Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) detailed below.
Accounting standards updates, recently adopted
Accounting Standards Updates—Recently Adopted—In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). Certain amendments thereto were also issued by the FASB. ASU 2016-13 and the related amendments require that credit losses be reported using an expected losses model, representing the entity’s current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred. The previous accounting guidance, as applied by the Company through December 31, 2019, was based on an incurred losses model. The standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology under current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires the use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, ASU 2016-13 and the related amendments now requires allowances to be recorded instead of reducing the amortized cost of the investment. These amendments under ASU 2016-13 are effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirement for Fair Value Measurement, or (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments under ASU 2018-13 are effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangible-Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 updates guidance regarding accounting for a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The amendments under ASU 2018-15 are effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other - In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law and provides an estimated $2.2 trillion to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and stimulate the economy. The business tax provisions of the CARES Act include temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. Some of the key income tax provisions include eliminating the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019, or 2020 and reinstating it for tax years after 2020; allowing NOLs generated in 2018, 2019, or 2020 to be carried back five years; increasing the net interest expense deduction limit to 50% of adjusted taxable income from 30% for the 2019 and 2020 tax years; allowing taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund for the entire amount of the credit instead of recovering the credit through refunds over a period of years, as required by the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act; and allowing entities to deduct more of their charitable cash contributions made
during calendar year 2020 by increasing the taxable income limitation to 25% from 10%. Companies are required to account for these provisions in the period that includes the March 2020 enactment date (i.e., the first quarter for calendar year-end entities). The Company has assessed the impact of these provisions and they are not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. Measures of the CARES Act not related to income-based taxes include allowing an employer to pay its share of Social Security payroll taxes that would otherwise be due from the date of enactment through December 31, 2020 over the following two years and allowing eligible employers subject to closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic to receive a 50% credit on qualified wages against their employment taxes each quarter, with any excess credits eligible for refunds. These measures of the CARES Act are also not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company did not apply for any credit during the period.
Accounting Standards Updates, Recently Issued—In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interest period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences, and also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The amendments under ASU 2010-12 are effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). The guidance simplifies the complexity associated with applying U.S. GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. More specifically, the amendments focus on the guidance for convertible instruments and derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of determining the effect that the adoption will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
