Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the results of their operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015, or for any future period.
Principles of consolidation
Principles of consolidation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the Company in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. Our critical accounting policies are those that affect our financial statements materially and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management. Those policies are revenue recognition, share-based compensation, inventory valuation, valuation of goodwill, purchased intangibles and long-lived assets, and accounting for income taxes.
Segment reporting change
Segment reporting change
In the first quarter of 2015, we modified the segment presentation to reflect the changes in how our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews the segments and the overall business. With the increase in acquisitions in the last two years the CODM changed how the financial information was reviewed to exclude general corporate-level costs that are not specific to either of the reporting segments when evaluating the operating results of each segment. Corporate-level costs include expenses related to executive management, finance and accounting, human resources, legal, training and development, and certain administrative expenses.
The historical information presented has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the modified segment reporting. Our CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of our segments using information about its revenues, gross profit and income from operations, excluding certain costs which are managed separately at the corporate level. We enhanced our segment reporting structure to match our operating structure based on how our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) views the business and allocates resources, beginning in the first quarter of 2015. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer. Retrospective adjustments of prior period financial information have been made to conform to the current period presentation. This change does not impact previously reported Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 15, Segment Information, for additional information on our segment reporting change.
Concentration of credit risk
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that may potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions and may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such balances. The majority of our accounts receivable are derived from sales to customers for commercial applications. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and limit the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary but generally require no collateral. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses. Our products are broadly distributed and there were no customers that accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. We believe that we have no significant concentrations of credit risk as of March 31, 2015.
Recently issued authoritative guidance
Recently issued authoritative guidance
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides new guidance on the recognition of revenue and states 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. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted, however, in April 2015, the FASB tentatively proposed a one-year deferral of the effective date. If the proposed deferral is approved, the new standard will become effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard update on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
There was no other recently issued authoritative guidance that has a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements through the reporting date.
Guarantees
Guarantees
As permitted under Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, we have agreed to indemnify our directors and officers against certain losses that they may suffer by reason of the fact that such persons are, were or become our directors or officers. The term of the indemnification period is for the director’s or officer’s lifetime and there is no limit on the potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements. We have purchased a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that may enable us to recover a portion of any future payments that we may be required to make under these indemnification agreements. Assuming the applicability of coverage and the willingness of the insurer to assume coverage and subject to certain retention, loss limits and other policy provisions, we believe it is unlikely that we will be required to pay any material amounts pursuant to these indemnification obligations. However, no assurances can be given that the insurers will not attempt to dispute the validity, applicability or amount of coverage without expensive and time-consuming litigation against the insurers.
Additionally, we undertake indemnification obligations in our ordinary course of business in connection with, among other things, the licensing of our products and the provision of our support services. In the ordinary course of our business, we have in the past and may in the future agree to indemnify another party, generally our business affiliates or customers, against certain losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with various types of claims, which may include, without limitation, claims of intellectual property infringement, certain tax liabilities, our gross negligence or intentional acts in the performance of support services and violations of laws. The term of these indemnification obligations is generally perpetual. In general, we attempt to limit the maximum potential amount of future payments that we may be required to make under these indemnification obligations to the amounts paid to us by a customer, but in some cases the obligation may not be so limited. In addition, we have in the past and may in the future warrant to our customers that our products will conform to functional specifications for a limited period of time following the date of installation (generally not exceeding 30 days) or that our software media is free from material defects. Sales contracts for certain of our medication packaging systems often include limited warranties for up to six months, but the periodic activity and ending warranty balances we record have historically been immaterial.
From time to time, we may also warrant that our professional services will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner or in a professional manner consistent with industry standards. We generally seek to disclaim most warranties, including any implied or statutory warranties such as warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quality and non-infringement, as well as any liability with respect to incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or similar damages. In some states, such disclaimers may not be enforceable. If necessary, we would provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history. We have not been subject to any significant claims for such losses and have not incurred any material costs in defending or settling claims related to these indemnification obligations. Accordingly, we believe it is unlikely that we will be required to pay any material amounts pursuant to these indemnification obligations or potential warranty claims and, therefore, no material liabilities have been recorded for such indemnification obligations as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
