1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying interim consolidated condensed financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Edwards Lifesciences Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of management of Edwards Lifesciences Corporation ("Edwards Lifesciences" or the "Company"), the interim consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
Certain reclassifications related to the presentation of income taxes and special charges have been made in the prior year's consolidated condensed statement of cash flows to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the net cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an update to the guidance on business combinations. The new guidance requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance on inventory. The new guidance requires an entity to measure inventory within the scope of the amendment at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires an entity to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt, consistent with debt discounts. In August 2015, the FASB clarified that for a line-of-credit arrangement, a company can continue to defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize the debt issuance costs over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, whether or not there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2015 and interim periods within those periods, and must be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance on revenue recognition. The new guidance provides a comprehensive, principles-based approach to revenue recognition, and supersedes most previous revenue recognition guidance. 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. The guidance also requires improved disclosures on the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date by one year, such that the new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. The new guidance can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the change recognized at the date of the initial application. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, and has not yet selected a transition method.
2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LITIGATION EXPENSES (INCOME), NET
In May 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Medtronic, Inc. and its affiliates (“Medtronic”) to settle all outstanding patent litigation between the companies, including all cases related to transcatheter heart valves. In the second quarter of 2014, under the terms of a patent cross-license that was part of the agreement, Medtronic made a one-time, upfront payment to the Company in the amount of $750.0 million.
3. SPECIAL CHARGES
Asset Write-down
In September 2014, due to a strategic shift of the Company’s investment initiatives, the Company decided to refocus resources from its automated glucose monitoring program. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $3.0 million to write down an intangible asset and fixed assets, and to record severance costs. In addition, the Company recorded a $2.0 million charge to “Cost of Sales,” primarily related to the disposal of inventory and equipment held by customers.
Charitable Foundation Contribution
In June 2014, the Company contributed $50.0 million to the Edwards Lifesciences Foundation, a related-party not-for-profit organization intended to provide philanthropic support to health- and community-focused charitable organizations. The contribution was irrevocable and was recorded as an expense at the time of payment.
Settlement
In March 2014, the Company recorded a $7.5 million charge to settle past and future obligations related to one of its intellectual property agreements.

5. ACQUISITION
On July 3, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger to acquire CardiAQ Valve Technologies, Inc. ("CardiAQ") for an aggregate cash purchase price of $350.0 million, subject to certain adjustments. The transaction closed on August 26, 2015, and the cash purchase price after the adjustments was $348.0 million. In addition, the Company agreed to pay an additional $50.0 million if a certain European regulatory approval is obtained within 48 months of the acquisition closing date. The Company recognized in "Other Long-term Liabilities" a $30.3 million liability for the estimated fair value of this contingent milestone payment. The fair value of the contingent milestone payment will be remeasured each quarter, with changes in the fair value recognized within operating expenses on the consolidated condensed statements of operations. For further information on the fair value of the contingent milestone payment, see Note 7.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company placed $30.0 million of the purchase price into escrow to satisfy any claims for indemnification made in accordance with the merger agreement. Any funds remaining 15 months after the acquisition date will be disbursed to CardiAQ’s former shareholders. Acquisition-related costs of $1.2 million were recorded in “Selling, General and Administrative Expenses” during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
CardiAQ is a developer of a transcatheter mitral valve replacement system. The Company plans to integrate the acquired technology platform into its mitral heart valve program. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. Tangible and intangible assets acquired were recorded based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded to goodwill. The Company is in the process of finalizing its purchase price allocation; therefore, the amounts reflected below are subject to change. The primary areas not yet finalized include tax-related items and the segment to which the goodwill and intangibles will be assigned. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):
|
| | | | | |
Current assets | | $ | 28.1 |
| |
Property and equipment, net | | 0.2 |
| |
Goodwill | | 250.0 |
| |
In-process research and development ("IPR&D") | | 190.0 |
| |
Current liabilities assumed | | (32.9 | ) | |
Deferred income taxes | | (57.1 | ) | |
Total purchase price | | 378.3 |
| |
Less: cash acquired | | (27.9 | ) | |
Less: contingent consideration | | (30.3 | ) | |
Total cash purchase price, net of cash acquired | | $ | 320.1 |
| |
Goodwill includes expected synergies and other benefits the Company believes will result from the acquisition. Goodwill was initially assigned to the Company’s United States segment and is not deductible for tax purposes. IPR&D has been capitalized at fair value as an intangible asset with an indefinite life and will be assessed for impairment in subsequent periods. The fair value of the IPR&D was determined using the income approach. This approach determines fair value based on cash flow projections which are discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate of return. The discount rate used to determine the fair value of the IPR&D was 16.5%. Completion of successful design developments, bench testing, pre-clinical studies and human clinical studies are required prior to selling any product. The risks and uncertainties associated with completing development within a reasonable period of time include those related to the design, development, and manufacturability of the product, the success of pre-clinical and clinical studies, and the timing of regulatory approvals. The valuation assumed $97.7 million of additional research and development expenditures would be incurred prior to the date of product introduction. In the valuation, net cash inflows were modeled to commence in 2018. Upon completion of development, the underlying research and development intangible asset will be amortized over its estimated useful life.
The results of operations for CardiAQ have been included in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results have not been presented as the results of CardiAQ are not material in relation to the consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The consolidated condensed financial statements include financial instruments for which the fair market value of such instruments may differ from amounts reflected on a historical cost basis. Financial instruments of the Company consist of cash deposits, accounts and other receivables, investments, accounts payable, certain accrued liabilities, and borrowings under a revolving credit agreement. The carrying value of these financial instruments generally approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. Financial instruments also include long-term notes payable. As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of the notes payable, based on Level 2 inputs, was $613.9 million.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company prioritizes the inputs used to determine fair values in one of the following three categories:
Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table summarizes the Company's financial instruments which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

Cash Equivalents and Available-for-sale Investments
The Company estimates the fair values of its money market funds based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company estimates the fair values of its commercial paper, U.S. government and agency securities, asset-backed securities, and corporate debt securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services use industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades and broker-dealer quotes on the same or similar securities, benchmark yields, credit spreads, prepayment and default projections
based on historical data, and other observable inputs. The Company independently reviews and validates the pricing received from the third-party pricing service by comparing the prices to prices reported by a secondary pricing source. The Company’s validation procedures have not resulted in an adjustment to the pricing received from the pricing service.
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are long-term equity investments in companies that are in various stages of development. Certain of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated affiliates are designated as available-for-sale. These investments are carried at fair market value based on quoted market prices.
Deferred Compensation Plans
The Company holds investments in trading securities related to its deferred compensation plans. The investments are in a variety of stock and bond mutual funds. The fair values of these investments and the corresponding liabilities are based on quoted market prices.
Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts to manage foreign currency exposures, and interest rate swap agreements to manage its interest rate exposures. All derivatives contracts are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. The fair value of foreign currency derivative financial instruments was estimated based on quoted market foreign exchange rates and market discount rates. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis reflecting the contractual terms of the agreements and the 6-month LIBOR forward interest rate curve. Judgment was employed in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value; accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Contingent Consideration Obligation
The Company recorded a contingent consideration obligation related to its acquisition of CardiAQ. The contingent consideration obligation was recorded at its estimated fair value, which was determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow analysis that considered significant unobservable inputs. These inputs included a 2.4% discount rate used to present value the projected cash flows, a 65.0% probability of milestone achievement, and a projected payment date in 2018. The use of different assumptions could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amount.
8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate and foreign currency risks. It is the Company's policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The Company uses interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt. These interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges and meet the shortcut method requirements under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging. Accordingly, changes in the fair values of the interest rate swaps are considered to exactly offset changes in the fair value of the underlying long-term debt. The Company uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to offset the changes due to currency rate movements in the amount of future cash flows associated with intercompany transactions and certain local currency expenses expected to occur within the next 13 months. These foreign currency forward exchange contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. Certain of the Company's locations have assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies resulting principally from intercompany and local currency transactions. The Company uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to offset the transaction gains and losses associated with certain of these assets and liabilities. The Company also uses foreign currency
forward exchange contracts to protect its net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These foreign currency forward exchange contracts are designated as net investment hedges. All foreign currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries, principally the Euro and the Japanese yen.
All derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. For each derivative instrument that is designated and effective as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized immediately to earnings, and offsets the loss or gain on the underlying hedged item. The gain or loss on fair value hedges is classified in net interest expense, as they hedge the interest rate risk associated with the Company's fixed-rate debt. The Company reports in "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss" the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative financial instruments that are designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges. The Company reclassifies these gains and losses into earnings in the same period in which the underlying hedged transactions affect earnings. The effective portions of net investment hedges are reported in "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss" as a part of the cumulative translation adjustment, and would be reclassified into earnings if the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated. The ineffective portions of cash flow hedges and net investment hedges are recorded in current period earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not record any gains or losses due to hedge ineffectiveness. The gains and losses on derivative financial instruments for which the Company does not elect hedge accounting treatment are recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of operations in each period based upon the change in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument. Cash flows from net investment hedges are reported as investing activities in the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows, and cash flows from all other derivative financial instruments are reported as operating activities.
Derivative financial instruments involve credit risk in the event the counterparty should default. It is the Company's policy to execute such instruments with global financial institutions that the Company believes to be creditworthy. The Company diversifies its derivative financial instruments among counterparties to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. The Company also uses International Swap Dealers Association master-netting agreements. The master-netting agreements provide for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default, as defined by the agreements.

9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based compensation expense related to awards issued under the Company's incentive compensation plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was as follows (in millions):

Total stock-based compensation expense | $ | 12.6 |
| | $ | 12.2 |
| | $ | 37.0 |
| | $ | 36.1 |
|
At September 30, 2015, the total remaining compensation cost related to nonvested stock options, restricted stock units, market-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") subscription awards amounted to $102.2 million, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of 32 months.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company granted 0.9 million stock options at a weighted-average exercise price of $132.31 and 0.2 million shares of restricted stock units at a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $133.08. The Company also granted 34,000 shares of market-based restricted stock units at a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $138.66 and 21,000 shares of performance-based restricted stock units at a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $140.58. The market-based restricted stock units vest based on a combination of certain service and market conditions. The actual number of shares issued will be determined based on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to a selected industry peer group over a three-year performance period, and may range from 0% to 175% of the targeted number of shares granted. The performance-based restricted stock units vest based on the achievement of a certain regulatory development milestone related to the Company’s transcatheter mitral valve technologies. The grants vest upon achievement of the milestone, but are forfeited if the milestone is not achieved within 30 months of the CardiAQ acquisition closing date. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense associated with these performance-based restricted stock units if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company reassesses the probability of vesting at each quarter end and adjusts the stock-based compensation expense based on its probability assessment. As of September 30, 2015, achievement of the milestone was deemed not yet probable and no expense has been recognized related to these awards.
Fair Value Disclosures
The fair value of the market-based restricted stock units was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses multiple input variables to determine the probability of satisfying the market condition requirements. The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the fair value of the market-based restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 included a risk-free interest rate of 1.0% and 0.9%, respectively, and an expected volatility rate of 31.0% and 31.7%, respectively.
The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used with the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted during the following periods:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Edwards Lifesciences is or may be a party to, or may otherwise be responsible for, pending or threatened lawsuits related primarily to products and services currently or formerly manufactured or performed, as applicable, by Edwards Lifesciences. Such cases and claims raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the facts and circumstances of each particular case or claim, the jurisdiction in which each suit is brought, and differences in applicable law. Upon resolution of any such legal matter or other claim, Edwards Lifesciences may incur charges in excess of established reserves. The Company is not able to estimate the amount or range of any loss for legal contingencies for which there is no reserve or additional loss for matters already reserved. While any such charge related to these matters
could have a material adverse impact on Edwards Lifesciences’ net income or cash flows in the period in which it is recorded or paid, management does not believe that any such charge relating to any currently pending lawsuit would have a material adverse effect on Edwards Lifesciences’ financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Edwards Lifesciences is subject to various environmental laws and regulations both within and outside of the United States. The operations of Edwards Lifesciences, like those of other medical device companies, involve the use of substances regulated under environmental laws, primarily in manufacturing and sterilization processes. While it is difficult to quantify the potential cost of a program to comply with environmental protection laws, management believes that such cost will not have a material impact on Edwards Lifesciences’ financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during a period. Employee equity share options, nonvested shares, and similar equity instruments granted by the Company are treated as potential common shares in computing diluted earnings per share. Diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of restricted stock units, market-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and in-the-money options. The dilutive impact of the restricted stock units, market-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and in-the-money options is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount that the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation expense for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in "Additional Paid-in Capital" when the award becomes deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares. Potential common share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The table below presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions, except for per share information):

Stock options, restricted stock units, and market-based restricted stock units to purchase 0.9 million and 1.5 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 0.7 million and 3.2 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
13. INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rate was 21.6% for both the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and was 22.2% and 30.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included (1) $262.1 million of tax expense associated with a $750.0 million litigation settlement payment received from Medtronic in May 2014 (see Note 2) and (2) $6.2 million of tax benefits from the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions.
The federal research credit expired on December 31, 2014 and had not been reinstated as of September 30, 2015. Therefore, the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was calculated without an assumed benefit from the federal research credit.
The Company strives to resolve open matters with each tax authority at the examination level and could reach agreement with a tax authority at any time. While the Company has accrued for matters it believes are more likely than not to require settlement, the final outcome with a tax authority may result in a tax liability that is more or less than that reflected in the consolidated condensed financial statements. Furthermore, the Company may later decide to challenge any assessments, if made, and may exercise its right to appeal. The uncertain tax positions are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as events occur that affect potential liabilities for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, proposed assessments by tax authorities, negotiations between tax authorities, identification of new issues, and issuance of new legislation, regulations, or case law.
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $212.4 million and $192.3 million, respectively. The Company estimates that these liabilities would be reduced by $37.9 million and $34.3 million, respectively, from offsetting tax benefits associated with the correlative effects of potential transfer pricing adjustments, state income taxes, and timing adjustments. The net amounts of $174.5 million and $158.0 million, respectively, if not required, would favorably affect the Company's effective tax rate.
At September 30, 2015, all material state, local, and foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2008. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has substantially completed its fieldwork for the 2009 through 2012 tax years. However, the audit is currently in suspense pending finalization of an Advance Pricing Agreement ("APA") and Joint Committee of Taxation approval.
As noted above, the Company has entered into an APA process between the Switzerland and United States governments for the years 2009 through 2015 covering transfer pricing matters. The transfer pricing matters are significant to the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements, and the final outcome and timing of the negotiations between the two governments is uncertain.
During 2014, the Company also filed with the IRS a request for a pre-filing agreement associated with a tax return filing position on a portion of the litigation settlement payment received from Medtronic, Inc. in May 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, the IRS accepted the pre-filing agreement into the pre-filing agreement program. The finalization of the pre-filing agreement could result in a significant change in our uncertain tax positions within the next 12 months. As a result, a portion of the Company's long-term uncertain tax positions has been classified as short-term.
14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Edwards Lifesciences conducts operations worldwide and is managed in the following geographical regions: United States, Europe, Japan, and Rest of World. All regions sell products that are used to treat advanced cardiovascular disease and critically ill patients.
The Company's geographic segments are reported based on the financial information provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the Chief Executive Officer). The Company evaluates the performance of its geographic segments based on net sales and income before provision for income taxes ("pre-tax income"). The accounting policies of the segments are substantially the same as those described in Note 2 of the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Segment net sales and segment pre-tax income are based on internally derived standard foreign exchange rates, which may differ from year to year, and do not include inter-segment profits. Because of the interdependence of the reportable segments, the pre-tax income as presented may not be representative of the geographical distribution that would occur if the segments were not interdependent. Net sales by geographic area are based on the location of the customer.
Certain items are maintained at the corporate level and are not allocated to the segments. The non-allocated items include net interest expense, global marketing expenses, corporate research and development expenses, manufacturing variances, corporate headquarters costs, special gains and charges, stock-based compensation, foreign currency hedging activities, certain litigation costs, and most of the Company's amortization expense. Although most of the Company's depreciation expense is included in segment pre-tax income, due to the Company's methodology for cost build-up, it is impractical to determine the amount of depreciation expense included in each segment, and, therefore, a portion is maintained at the corporate level. The Company neither discretely allocates assets to its operating segments, nor evaluates the operating segments using discrete asset information.
