Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION General The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” and “Integra” refer to Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise. In the opinion of management, the September 30, 2018 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates affecting amounts reported or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements include allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and sales returns and allowances, net realizable value of inventories, valuation of intangible assets including amortization periods for acquired intangible assets, discount rates and estimated projected cash flows used to value and test impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, estimates of projected cash flows and depreciation and amortization periods for long-lived assets, computation of taxes, valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, the valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation of derivative instruments, valuation of pension assets and liabilities, valuation of contingent liabilities, the fair value of debt instruments and loss contingencies. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Equity Offering In May 2018, the Company commenced and closed on a public offering of common stock. The Company issued 6.0 million shares of common stock and received total proceeds, net of underwriting fees and offering expenses, of approximately $349.6 million. The net proceeds from the offering were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit portion of the Company's Senior Credit Facility. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This update became effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted Topic 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. See Note 3, Revenues from Contracts with Customers, for further details. In February 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under current accounting guidance, an entity is not required to report operating leases on the balance sheet. The amendment requires that lessees recognize virtually all of its leases on the balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and lease liability (other than leases that meet the definition of a "short-term lease"). This update will become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition. Early adoption is permitted. While the Company has not yet completed its assessment, the adoption of this guidance could have a material impact on the Company's financial position. In August 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The guidance addresses the classification of cash flows related to debt repayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or debt instruments with coupon rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, contingent consideration payments made after business combinations, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims and corporate-owned life insurance, distributions received from equity method investees and beneficial interests in securitization transaction. This update became effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 effective January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance had no significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The guidance requires that the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory be recognized as a current-period income tax expense or benefit and removes the requirement to defer and amortize the consolidated tax consequences of intra-entity transfers. The new standard became effective for all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2016-16 effective January 1, 2018, and this guidance had no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued Update No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The guidance requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items were to be used to present the other components of net benefit cost, that line item or items must be appropriately described. If a separate line item or items is/are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. In addition, the amendments also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable. The new standard became effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 effective January 1, 2018. The Company recognized the components of net periodic benefit cost other than the service cost component in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The adoption of this guidance had no significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The update serves to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The new standard became effective for all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 effective January 1, 2018, and there was no significant impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This update amends the hedge accounting rules to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance and better portray the economic results of risk management activities in the financial statements. The guidance expands the ability to hedge non-financial and financial risk components, reduces complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk, eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness, as well as eases certain hedge effectiveness assessment requirements. This update will become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-12 effective January 1, 2017 using the modified retrospective method. The implementation of the amended guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects From Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This amendment allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Tax Act (as defined in Note 11, Income Taxes). This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt the ASU 2018-02 effective January 1, 2018, which resulted in the reclassification of $0.5 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings related to a net unrealized loss on cash flow hedges. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU Number 2018-09, Codification Improvements. This update provides clarification, corrects errors in and makes minor improvements to the Codification within various ASC topics. Many of the amendments in this update have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and some amendments in this update do not require transition guidance and are effective upon issuance of this update. The Company will adopt amendments as they become applicable and has determined that the impact of these improvements will not be material to its consolidated financial condition and results of operations. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU Number 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. This update provides entities with an additional and optional transition method to adopt ASU Number 2016-02 with a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption. This update also provides guidance for a practical expedient that permits lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components. Additionally, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU Number 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. This update provides additional guidance on the new lease model with improvements in numerous aspects of the guidance in ASC 842 including, but not limited to, implicit rates, reassessment of lease classification, terms and purchase options, investment tax credits, and various other transition guidance. These updates will be adopted concurrently with ASU Number 2016-02. While the Company has not yet completed its assessment, the adoption of this guidance could have a material impact on the Company's financial position. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The new guidance modifies the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, including removing certain previous disclosure requirements, adding certain new disclosure requirements, and modifying certain other disclosure requirements. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2018-13 on October 1, 2018. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The new guidance modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans, including removing certain previous disclosure requirements, adding certain new disclosure requirements, and clarifying certain other disclosure requirements. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements. There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have any significant effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
