Reporting Period: Mar 30, 2019
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentives received. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities as the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate when the Company is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company also has lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components. The Company elected the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease components for the Company’s real estate and automobile leases. Additionally, the Company applied a portfolio approach to effectively account for the operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities for the Company’s automobile leases. The Company elected to apply the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption in which ROU assets and lease liabilities are not recognized for short-term leases.
The total purchase consideration of $66.0 million, as of the acquisition date, included contingent consideration liability of $64.7 million and an upfront cash payment of $1.3 million. The amount and timing of the future contingent consideration payments are based upon achieving certain commercial milestones in 2019 and 2020. The estimated total undiscounted contingent consideration is approximately $81 million. The contingent consideration liability was measured at estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model, which require significant inputs not observable in the market, and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Key assumptions include (1) the probability and timing of milestone achievement based on projected future revenues in 2019 and 2020, and (2) the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the milestone payments.

At Intuitive, we believe that minimally invasive care is life-enhancing care. Intuitive brings more than two decades of leadership in robotic-assisted surgical technology and solutions to its offerings, and develops, manufactures and markets the da Vinci surgical system and the Ion endoluminal system. While surgery and acute interventions have improved significantly in the past decades, there remains a significant need for better outcomes and decreased variability of these outcomes across care teams. The current health care environment is exerting a large and increasing burden on critical resources, including the professionals who staff care teams; surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and other staff. At the same time, governments are straining to cover the healthcare needs of their populations and are demanding lower total cost per patient to treat disease. In the face of these challenges, we believe scientific, process, and technology advances in biology, computing, imaging, algorithms, and robotics offer the promise of new methods to solve old and difficult problems.
At Intuitive, we address these needs by focusing on what hospitals have termed the quadruple aim. First, we focus on products and services that can improve outcomes and decrease variability in the hands of care teams. Second, we seek to improve the patient experience by minimizing disruption to lives and creating greater predictability for the treatment experience. Third, we seek to improve care team satisfaction by creating products and services that are dependable, smart, and optimized for the care environment in which they are used. Finally, we seek to lower the total cost to treat per patient episode when compared with existing treatment alternatives, providing a return on investment for hospitals and healthcare systems and value for payers.
Ion endoluminal system. In February 2019, we obtained U.S. FDA clearance for the Ion endoluminal system, our new flexible robotic-assisted catheter-based platform, designed to navigate through very small lung airways to reach peripheral nodules for biopsies. The Ion system uses an ultra-thin articulating robotic catheter that can move 180 degrees in all directions. The outer diameter of the catheter is 3.5 mm, which physicians can navigate through small and tortuous airways to reach nodules in any airway segment within the lung. The Ion system’s flexible biopsy needle can also pass through very tight bends via Ion’s catheter to collect tissue in the peripheral lung. The catheter’s 2mm working channel can also accommodate other biopsy tools, such as biopsy forceps or cytology brushes, if necessary. We plan to launch the Ion in a measured fashion while we optimize training pathways, our supply chain, and collect additional clinical data. We anticipate commercial shipments to begin by the end of 2019.
