Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
 
ICU Medical, Inc. ("ICU" or "we"), a Delaware corporation, develops, manufactures and sells innovative medical products used in infusion therapy, vascular access, and vital care applications. ICU's product portfolio includes ambulatory, syringe, and large volume IV pumps and safety software; dedicated and non-dedicated IV sets, needlefree IV connectors, peripheral IV catheters, and sterile IV solutions; closed system transfer devices and pharmacy compounding systems; as well as a range of respiratory, anesthesia, patient monitoring, and temperature management products.

We sell the majority of our products globally through our direct sales force and through independent distributors throughout the U.S. and internationally. We also sell certain products on an original equipment manufacturer basis to other medical device manufacturers.

Basis of Presentation

All subsidiaries are wholly owned and are included in the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Results of operations of companies purchased are included from the dates of acquisition.

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP").

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements and footnotes to conform to the presentation used in the current year. In the consolidated statements of cash flows, we reclassified bond premium amortization to other. The reclassification had no impact on cash flows from operating activities as previously reported. In Note 14: Income Taxes, we reclassified certain provision (benefit) for income taxes and tax asset categories. These reclassifications had no impact on the consolidated statement of operations and consolidated balance sheets.

Segment Reporting

We operate as a single operating and reportable segment. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), the Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. See Note 6: Segment Data.

Use of Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.

Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. An allowance is provided for estimated collection losses based on an assessment of various factors.  We consider prior payment trends, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the financial status of our customers and other factors to estimate the cash which ultimately will be received.  Such amounts cannot be known with certainty at the financial statement date.  We regularly review individual past due balances for collectability.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method.  Inventory costs include material, labor and overhead related to the manufacturing of our products. 

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

_____________________________
As of December 31, 2024, inventory account balances that are part of a disposal group that met the criteria for assets held for sale during the fourth quarter of 2024 were combined with other disposal group assets and presented as a separate line item "Assets Held For Sale" in our consolidated balance sheet (See Note 4:Assets Held For Sale).

_______________________________
(1)     As of December 31, 2024, certain property, plant and equipment category account balances that are part of a disposal group that met the criteria for assets held for sale during the fourth quarter of 2024 were combined with other disposal group assets and presented as a separate line item "Assets held For Sale" in our consolidated balance sheet, $99.4 million of accumulated depreciation was included in the disposal group and reclassified to assets held for sale. See Note 4: Assets Held For Sale.
(2)    Instruments placed with customers consist of drug-delivery and monitoring systems placed with customers under operating leases.

All property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. We use the straight-line method for depreciating property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives.  Estimated useful lives are:
Buildings
15 - 30 years
Building improvements
15 - 30 years
Machinery and equipment and molds
2 - 15 years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment
2 - 5 years
Computer equipment and software
3 - 5 years
Instruments placed with customers
3 - 10 years
 
We capitalize expenditures that materially increase the life of the related assets; maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The costs and related accumulated depreciation applicable to property, plant and equipment sold or retired are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations at the time of disposal. Depreciation expense was $85.2 million, $96.7 million and $95.8 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of which $73.7 million, $75.4 million, and $74.1 million, respectively, are included in cost of goods sold.

Goodwill
 
We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the month of November, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that impairment may exist. Generally, we first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, based on an assessment of relevant qualitative factors, we determine that this is not the case, then the quantitative impairment test is not required to be performed. Conversely, if we determine based on the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we will perform the quantitative impairment test. For the quantitative impairment test, we calculate the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the goodwill of the reporting unit is determined to be impaired. An impairment charge is recorded in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount over its estimated fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. In 2024, we performed a qualitative assessment and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount, and therefore, no further impairment testing was required. We concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill during fiscal 2024, 2023, or 2022.

Amortization expense was $134.3 million, $132.1 million and $139.4 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of which $1.7 million, $— million, and $0.3 million, respectively, are included in cost of goods sold.

As of December 31, 2024, estimated annual amortization for our intangible assets for each of the next five years and thereafter is approximately (in thousands):
2025$129,604 
2026127,612

2028116,852 
2029113,775 
Thereafter123,119 
Total$728,412 

Our intangible assets that are not subject to amortization are reviewed annually for impairment or more often if there are indications of possible impairment. We perform our annual intangible assets impairment test in November of each year. We did not have any intangible asset impairments in 2024, 2023 or 2022.

Long-Lived Assets
 
We periodically evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When indicators of impairment are present, the carrying values of the assets are evaluated in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying business. The net book value of the underlying asset is adjusted to fair value if the sum of the expected discounted cash flows is less than book value. Fair values are based on estimates of market prices and assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates, reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk. We did not have any long-lived asset impairments in 2024, 2023 or 2022.

Assets Held for Sale

We classify a long-lived asset or disposal groups as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset or disposal group; (2) the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups; (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset or disposal group have been initiated; (4) the sale of the asset or disposal group is probable, and transfer of the asset or disposal group is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond our control extend the period of time required to sell the asset or disposal group beyond one year; (5) the asset or disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (6) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. We initially measure a long-lived asset or disposal group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell and immediately recognize any estimated losses. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset or disposal group until the date of sale. Each reporting period that a long-lived asset or disposal group remains as held for sale, the carrying value of the long-lived asset or disposal group is adjusted for subsequent changes in fair value less cost to sell, losses are recognized for a subsequent write-down to fair value less cost to sell and gains are recognized for an increase in fair value less cost to sell although limited to the amount of any previous cumulative losses recognized. We cease depreciation and amortization of a long-lived asset, or assets within a disposal group, upon their designation as held for sale. See Note 4: Assets Held For Sale.

Investment Securities

Short-term investments, exclusive of cash equivalents, are marketable securities intended to be sold within one year and may include trading securities, available-for-sale securities, and held-to-maturity securities (if maturing within one year at the time of acquisition).

Investments in Available-for-sale Securities
 
Our investment securities were historically considered available-for-sale and consisted of corporate bonds, U.S. treasury securities, and government bonds. These securities were considered “investment grade” and were carried at fair value. We assess our investment in available-for-sale debt securities for impairment each reporting period. If an unrealized loss exists,
we determine whether any portion of the decline in fair value below the carrying value is credit-related by reviewing several factors, including, but not limited to, the extent of the fair value decline and changes in the financial condition of the issuer. We record an impairment for credit-related losses through an allowance, limited to the amount of the unrealized loss. If we either intend to sell or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery, any allowance is written off and the amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through a charge against net earnings. Unrealized gains and non-credit-related unrealized losses are recorded, net of tax, in other comprehensive (loss) income. We did not have any investments in available-for-sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.

The amortized cost of the debt securities and U.S treasury securities is adjusted for the amortization of premiums computed under the effective interest method. Such amortization is included in interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses are accounted for on the specific identification method. There have been no realized gains or losses on the disposal of these investments. All short-term investment securities are callable within one year.

As of December 31, 2024, we did not have any investment securities. As of December 31, 2023, the amortized cost, unrealized holding gains (losses) and fair value of our available-for-sale investment securities were as follows (in thousands):
As of December 31, 2023
Amortized CostUnrealized Holding Gains (Losses)Fair Value
Short-term corporate bonds$501 $— $501 

Investments in Non-Marketable Equity Securities

We own approximately a 20.0% non-marketable equity interest in a nonpublic company and entered into a three-year distribution agreement where we have the exclusive rights to market, sell and distribute the company's products in exchange for a cash payment of $3.3 million. In addition, we were granted an exclusive license for all of the seller's intellectual property. At the expiration of the distribution agreement we have the right but not the obligation to acquire the remaining interest in the business.

We apply the equity method of accounting for investments when we determine we have a significant influence, but not a controlling interest in the investee. We determine whether we have significant influence by considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy making decisions, business relationship and material intra-entity transactions, among other factors. Our equity method investment is reported at cost and adjusted each period for our share of the investee's income or (loss) and dividend paid, if any. We eliminate any intra-entity profits to the extent of our beneficial interest. We report our proportionate share of the investee's income or (loss) resulting from this investment in other expense, net in our consolidated statements of operations. The carrying value of our equity method investment is reported in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. We assess our equity method investments for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable. Our recorded share of the investee's loss was not material for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 or 2022. We did not receive any dividend distributions from this investment during 2024, 2023 or 2022.

Our non-marketable equity method investment consists of the following (in thousands):

As of December 31,
20242023
Equity method investment$3,038 $3,120 

Investments in non-marketable debt securities

In 2022, we received $19.0 million in proceeds from a promissory note related to an acquired investment as part of the Smiths Medical acquisition.

Income Taxes
 
Deferred taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and the tax bases using rates as enacted in the laws. A valuation allowance is established if it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the tax provision. We recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination and settlement with various taxing authorities. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are measured based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We have accrued for interest and penalties of $2.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024 and $2.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023.

Foreign Currency

Generally, the functional currency of our international subsidiaries is the local currency. Generally, we translate the financial statements of these subsidiaries to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses are translated at the average monthly exchange rates during the year. Certain of our international subsidiaries consolidate first with another subsidiary that utilizes a functional currency other than U.S. dollars. In those cases, we follow a step by step translation process utilizing the same sequence as the consolidation process. Translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders' equity on our consolidated balance sheets and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents are reflected on our consolidated statements of cash flows. Gains and losses for transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity are included in our consolidated statements of operations in other expense, net (see Other expense, net table below). Foreign currency transaction losses, net were $9.8 million, $5.9 million and $5.8 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues when we transfer control of promised goods to our customers, which for the majority of our sales of products sold on a standalone basis to our distributors and end customers for direct sales, is deemed to be at point of shipment. Our software license renewals are considered to be transferred to a customer at a point in time at the start of each renewal period, therefore revenue is recognized at that time.

Payment is typically due in full within 30 days of delivery or the start of the contract term. Revenue is recorded in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We include variable consideration in net sales only to the extent that a significant reversal in revenue is not probable when the uncertainty is resolved.

Our variable consideration includes distributor chargebacks, product returns and end customer rebates, with distributor chargebacks representing the majority and subject to the greatest judgment.

Chargebacks are the difference between the prices we charge our distribution customers at the time they purchase our products and the contracted prices we have with the end customer, most often in the U.S. and Canada. When a distributor sells our products to one of our contracted end customers, the distributor typically will claim a refund from us for the chargeback amount which we process as a credit to the distributor.

In estimating the transaction price to present as net revenue for sales to distributors, we must estimate the expected chargeback amount that we will refund to the distributor after they sell our product to a contracted end customer. Determining the appropriate chargeback reserve requires judgment around the following assumptions:

(i) The estimated chargeback amount (the difference between the price we invoice the distributor and the contractually agreed price with specified end customers); and

(ii) The estimated period of time between the sale to the distributor and the receipt of a chargeback claim.

For purposes of estimating the expected chargeback amount, we utilize actual recent historical chargebacks paid to the specific distributor for similar products as determined at either a product or product-family level. While individual chargeback
rates can vary significantly depending on the product and contracted prices with distributors and end customers, our chargeback reserve estimate is not overly sensitive to those individual price changes due to the long-term nature of our distributor and end customer contracts as well as consistency in purchasing patterns. Additionally, the use of the actual chargeback history to calculate an average chargeback rate has historically resulted in a reasonable estimation of overall current contract rates.

For purposes of estimating the period of time between the sale to the distributor and the receipt of a chargeback claim, we utilize several sources of information including actual inventory quantities of our products on hand at distributors. This inventory on hand information is received from the distributors or, when specific quantities are not provided, estimated by using the targeted days of inventory on hand for distributors. Historical experience of actual chargebacks paid has indicated that use of this information has reasonable predictive value of outstanding chargebacks and accounts for the variability of purchasing
patterns and expected timing and volume of sales to end customers. The value of the chargeback reserve generally represents approximately two months of obligation due to the timing difference between the initial sale to a distributor and the processing of a chargeback claim after the product is sold to the end customer.

The chargeback reserve estimates change from period-to-period primarily based on changes in revenue from/and the inventory levels of distributors. Our judgments regarding the information used to calculate the chargeback reserve are consistent from period to period; however, on a regular basis, we evaluate the adequacy of the chargeback reserve to reassess and ensure that the variable consideration is appropriately constrained, and the likelihood of future revenue reversal is not probable. We use metrics including chargeback provision as a percentage of gross revenue, movements in inventory on hand at distributors, trends in accrued versus paid chargebacks and impacts from price changes and similar metrics.

The chargeback reserve reflects a reasonable estimate of the amount of consideration using the expected value method and is recorded as a reduction of accounts receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

We also offer certain volume-based rebates to both our distribution and end customers, which we record as variable consideration when calculating the transaction price. Rebates are offered on both a fixed and tiered/variable basis. In both cases, we use information available at the time, including current contractual requirements, our historical experience with each customer and forecasted customer purchasing patterns, to estimate the most likely rebate amount.

We also warrant products against defects and have a policy permitting the return of defective products, for which we accrue and expense at the time of sale using information available at that time and our historical experience. We also provide for extended service-type warranties, which we consider to be separate performance obligations. We allocate a portion of the transaction price to the extended service-type warranty based on its estimated relative selling price, and recognize revenue over the period the warranty service is provided.
 
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables

In certain circumstances, we enter into arrangements in which we provide multiple deliverables to our customers. These bundled arrangements typically consist of the sale of infusion systems equipment, along with annual software licenses and related software implementation services, software maintenance services and extended warranties. Our most significant judgments related to these arrangements are (i) identifying the various performance obligations and (ii) estimating the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation, typically using a directly observable method or calculated on a cost plus margin basis method. Revenue related to the bundled equipment, software and software implementation services are typically combined into a single performance obligation and recognized upon implementation. As annual software licenses are renewed, we recognize revenue for the license at a point in time, at the start of each annual renewal period. The transaction price allocated to the extended service-type warranty is recognized as revenue over the period the warranty service is provided. Consumables and solutions are separate performance obligations, recognized at a point in time.
 
Shipping Costs
 
Costs to ship finished goods to our customers are included in cost of goods sold on the consolidated statements of operations.

Post-retirement and Post-employment Benefits
 
We sponsor a Section 401(k) retirement plan ("plan") for employees. Our contributions to our 401(k) plan were approximately $19.1 million, $19.2 million and $14.6 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We also have post-retirement and post-employment obligations related to employees located in certain international countries. These obligations are immaterial to our financial statements taken as a whole.

Research and Development
 
The majority of our research and development costs are expensed as incurred. In certain circumstances when an asset will have an alternative future use we capitalize the costs related to those assets. Research and development costs include salaries and related benefits, consulting fees, production supplies, samples, travel costs, utilities and other miscellaneous administrative costs.

Other expense, net$(13,223)$(5,905)$(5,136)

The foreign exchange losses in 2024 were primarily related to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain foreign currencies, including the Mexican peso and Argentine peso.

In 2024, other miscellaneous (expense) income, net primarily includes $2.6 million in fees related to our accounts receivable purchase program. In 2023, other miscellaneous (expense) income, net primarily includes $3.7 million in fees related to our accounts receivable purchase program (see Note 18: Accounts Receivable Purchase Program) mostly offset by a business interruption gain. We received total insurance recoveries for property damage and business interruption of $3.1 million, $2.6 million of which was related to insurance proceeds for business interruption included within other miscellaneous (expense) income, net.

Net Loss Per Share

Due to the net loss for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, both basic and diluted net loss per share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. With net losses the inclusion of any potential securities is antidilutive, accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same in periods with losses.
 
The following table presents the calculation of net earnings per common share (“EPS”) — basic and diluted (in thousands, except per share data):

New Accounting Pronouncements 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") in response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, and align the ASC’s requirements with the SEC’s regulations. For entities within the scope, the guidance will be applied prospectively with the effective date for each amendment to be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations by June 30, 2027, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective. We are currently assessing what impact this guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
