Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Long-term debt	7. Long-term debt On August 30, 2010, the Company’s wholly-owned U.S. holding company, Orthofix Holdings, Inc. (“Orthofix Holdings”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, RBS Citizens, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and certain lender parties thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a five year, $200 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and a five year, $100 million secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility,” and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). On January 15, 2015, at the Company’s request, the lenders agreed to reduce the available capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to $100 million. As of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, there was $20 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which is, at Orthofix Holdings’ option, either the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin or a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (in each case subject to adjustment based on financial ratios). Such applicable margin will be up to 3.25% for LIBOR borrowings and up to 2.25% for base rate borrowings depending upon a measurement of the consolidated leverage ratio with respect to the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters. As of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the entire Revolving Credit Facility was at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.50%. The effective interest rate on the Credit Facilities as of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, was 2.7%. Outstanding balances on the Revolving Credit Facility are due on August 30, 2015. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, which may be made in the future, may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries. The Guarantors have guaranteed repayment of Orthofix Holdings’ obligations under the Credit Agreement. The obligations of Orthofix Holdings and each of the Guarantors with respect to the Credit Facilities are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of Orthofix Holdings and each of the Guarantors. The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires Orthofix Holdings and the Company to comply with coverage ratios on a consolidated basis and contains affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on additional debt, liens, investments and acquisitions. The Credit Agreement, as amended, also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, all outstanding loans may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated. On August 14, 2013, the Company entered into a Limited Waiver (the “Original Limited Waiver”) with the lenders under the Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”) which waived requirements under the Credit Agreement to deliver quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended on June 30, 2013, and related financial covenant certificates, until the earlier of (i) March 31, 2014 or (ii) the date that is one day after such financial statements are publicly filed or released. The Company was in compliance with the affirmative and negative covenants at June 30, 2014 and there were no events of default. In connection with the Further Restatement and the Company’s delay in filing this Report, on August 14, 2014 the Company entered into a subsequent Limited Waiver with the Lenders which was extended on September 30, 2014, January 15, 2015 and February 26, 2015 (the “Subsequent Limited Waivers”). Under the Subsequent Limited Waivers, the Lenders collectively waived requirements under the Credit Agreement that the Company deliver quarterly financial statements with respect to the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, and related financial covenant certificates, until the earlier of (i) March 31, 2015 or (ii) the date that is one day after such financial statements are publicly filed or released. The Subsequent Limited Waivers also extend the date by which the Company is required to provide certain 2014 fiscal year financial statements until the earlier of (i) one business day following the date that the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 or (ii) April 30, 2015. In addition, the Subsequent Limited Waivers provided that the Further Restatement would not constitute a default or event of default provided that within one business day after the public release or filing of such restated financial statements, the Company delivered corrected financial statements and compliance certificates with respect to such restated periods and immediately paid any additional interest and other fees that would have been owed had applicable interest and fees originally been calculated based on the restated financial statements. As of the date hereof, the Company has delivered the quarterly consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, and the Company does not expect the Further Restatement to trigger any such additional interest or fees with respect to such prior periods. However, in the event that the Company does not satisfy these respective obligations under the Subsequent Limited Waivers and/or the Credit Agreement, an event of default could be declared under the Credit Agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. Certain subsidiaries of the Company have restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or make intercompany loan advances pursuant to the Company’s Credit Facilities. The net assets of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries are restricted for distributions to the parent company. Domestic subsidiaries of the Company, as parties to the credit agreement, have access to these net assets for operational purposes. The amount of restricted net assets of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, is $175.6 million and $168.5 million, respectively. In addition, the Credit Agreement restricts the Company and subsidiaries that are not parties to the Credit Facilities from access to cash held by Orthofix Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All of the Company’s subsidiaries that are parties to the Credit Agreement have access to this cash for operational and debt repayment purposes. The amount of restricted cash of the Company as of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, was $45.2 million and $23.8 million, respectively. In conjunction with obtaining the Credit Facilities and the Credit Agreement, as amended, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $5 million. These costs are being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the Credit Facilities. In conjunction with the Term Loan Facility repayment in May 2012, the Company wrote off $0.8 million of related debt issuance costs. As of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, related to the Credit Agreement were $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
