OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2020

In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, as well as the results of our operations, statements of stockholders' equity and cash flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

The audited Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Our audited Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries since their respective dates of acquisitions. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Where our ownership of a subsidiary was less than 100%, the non-controlling interest is reported on our consolidated balance sheets. The non-controlling interest in our consolidated net income is reported as "Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest" on our Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. Our audited Consolidated Financial Statements are stated in U.S. Dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP").

Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, to limit the spread of COVID-19, governments took various actions including the issuance of stay-at-home policies and social distancing procedures and guidelines, causing some businesses to adjust, reduce or suspend business and operating activities. Veterinary care is widely recognized as an "essential" service for pet owners, and veterinarians continued to deliver essential medical care for sick and injured pets. The stay-at-home policies deployed early in 2020 to combat the spread of COVID-19 resulted in a decrease in companion animal clinical visits, including delay of elective procedures and wellness visits and as a result lowers demand for diagnostic testing services. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, certain local, state and federal governments began to ease the stay-at-home policies and allowed more businesses and facilities to re-open, leading to a recovery in companion animal clinical visits and associated demand for our diagnostic products. The extent to which the continuation, or a possible second-wave outbreak of COVID-19, or an outbreak of other health epidemics could impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, including the potential for write-offs or impairments of assets and suspension of capital investments, will depend on future developments. We are unable to predict with certainty the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers, suppliers and vendors, as well as the actions of governments, and when and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume; these effects may differ from those assumed in our projected estimates. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of any economic impact that has occurred or may occur in the future.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are required when establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts and the net realizable value of inventory; determining future costs associated with warranties provided; determining the period over which our obligations are fulfilled under agreements to license product rights and/or technology rights; evaluating long-lived and intangible assets and investments for estimated useful lives and impairment; estimating the useful lives and standalone selling prices of instruments under leasing arrangements; determining the allocation of purchase price under purchase accounting; estimating the expense associated with the granting of stock; determining the need for, and the amount of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; determining the fair value of our embedded derivative; and determining the fair value of the liability component associated with the issuance of convertible debt. Our actual results may differ from these estimates and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We maintain the majority of our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy in the form of demand deposits. We have no off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign currency hedging arrangements. Our accounts receivable balances are due largely from distribution partners, domestic veterinary clinics and individual veterinarians and other animal health companies.

Covetrus represented 9% and 19% of our consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2020 or 2019.

We have established an allowance for credit losses based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for credit losses. From time to time, our customers are unable to meet their payment obligations. We continuously monitor our customers' credit worthiness and establish allowances for estimated credit losses related to our accounts receivable, net investment in leases, contract assets, and promissory notes. Our allowances are established based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical experience including collections and write-off history, and current economic conditions. Account balances are considered past due if payments have not been received within agreed upon invoice and/or contract terms and the Company may employ collection agencies and legal counsel to pursue recovery of defaulted amounts. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company also performs a qualitative assessment, on a quarterly basis, to monitor economic factors and other uncertainties that may require additional adjustments for the expected credit loss allowance. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, there is no assurance that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of our customers could have a material adverse impact on the collectability of accounts receivable and our future operating results. The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on expected credit losses. In 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). See "Adoption of New Accounting Standards" below for impacts of adoption.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value, and include short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term trade receivables and payables, a long-term note receivable with an embedded derivative asset, and its 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Notes"). The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents and short-term trade receivables and payables approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The costs of additions and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When an item is sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is relieved and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. We provide for depreciation primarily using the straight-line method by charges to income in amounts that allocate the cost of property and equipment over their estimated useful lives as follows:


Asset Classification			Estimated Useful Life
Building			10 to 43 years
Machinery and equipment			2 to 10 years
Office furniture and equipment			3 to 7 years
Computer hardware and software			3 to 7 years
Leasehold and building improvements			5 to 15 years

We capitalize certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software designated for internal use based on three distinct stages of development. Qualifying costs incurred during the application development stage, which consist primarily of internal payroll and direct fringe benefits and external direct project costs, including labor and travel, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which range from three to seven years. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation and operation phases are expensed as incurred. These costs are general and administrative in nature and related primarily to the determination of performance requirements, data conversion and training.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are measured and recorded as either non-marketable equity securities or equity method investments. Non-marketable equity securities are equity securities without readily determinable fair value that are measured and recorded using a measurement alternative which measures the securities at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes from qualifying observable price changes. Equity method investments are equity securities in investees we do not control but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence. When the equity method of accounting is determined to be appropriate, the initial measurement of the investment includes the cost of the investment and all direct transaction costs incurred to acquire the investment. Equity method investments are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus our share of equity method investee income or loss, which is recorded as a separate line on the income statement. Both types of investments are evaluated for impairment if a triggering event occurs.

Goodwill, Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill is initially valued based on the excess of the purchase price of a business combination over the fair value of acquired net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Intangible assets other than goodwill are initially valued at fair value. If a quoted price in an active market for the identical asset is not readily available at the measurement date, the fair value of the intangible asset is estimated based on discounted cash flows using market participant assumptions, which are assumptions that are not specific to the Company. The selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and the estimation of discounted cash flows require significant assumptions about the timing and amounts of future cash flows, risks, appropriate discount rates, and the useful lives of intangible assets. When material, we utilize independent valuation experts to advise and assist us in determining the fair values of the identified intangible assets acquired in connection with a business acquisition and in determining appropriate amortization methods and periods for those intangible assets.

We assess goodwill for impairment annually, at the reporting unit level, in the fourth quarter and whenever events or circumstances indicate impairment may exist. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, we have the option to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the comparison of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the estimated fair value of a reporting is less than its carrying amount, we would then estimate the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value we would recognize an impairment for the difference; otherwise, no further impairment test would be required. In contrast, we can opt to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to quantitative analysis. Doing so does not preclude us from performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. Following the acquisition of scil in April 2020, we restructured our operating segments based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. As further discussed in Note 18, our new reporting segments are North America and International. As a result of the change in operating segments, we also revised our reporting units to aggregate our legal entities based on similarities in economic characteristics. Our new reporting units consist of the following: (1) Heska Corporation and Heska Canada, (2) Diamond Animal Health, (3) scil animal care company GmbH, Optomed, CVM, and Heska Australia, and (4) Heska AG.

As a result of the recent global economic disruption and uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the

Company performed a qualitative assessment during the first quarter of 2020. Based on the interim assessment performed, we concluded that there was no triggering event and additionally, no indications of impairment existed. We performed qualitative assessments in the fourth quarters of 2020, 2019, and 2018 and determined that no indications of impairment existed. We assess the realizability of intangible assets other than goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If an impairment review is triggered, we evaluate the carrying value of intangible assets based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset of the asset group and compare that value to the carrying value of the asset group. The cash flows that are used contain our best estimates, using appropriate and customary assumptions and projections at the time. If the net carrying value of an intangible asset exceeds the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment to adjust the intangible asset to its fair value would be reported as a non-cash charge to earnings. If necessary, we would calculate the fair value of an intangible asset using the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be generated by the intangible asset, and applying a risk-adjusted discount rate.

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenue through the sale of products, either by outright purchase by our customers or through a subscription agreement whereby our customers receive instruments and pay us a monthly fee for the consumables needed to conduct testing. Subscription placement is the majority of our Point of Care laboratory transactions while outright sales to customers are the majority of both Point of Care imaging diagnostic transactions and the sale of pharmaceuticals and vaccines.

For outright sales of products, revenue is recognized when control of the promised product or service is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services (the transaction price). Taxes assessed by governmental authorities and collected from the customer are excluded from our revenue recognition. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer and is the unit of account under ASC 606. For instruments, consumables and most software licenses sold by the Company, control transfers to the customer at a point in time. To indicate the transfer of control, the Company must have a present right to payment, legal title must have passed to the customer, the customer must have the significant risks and rewards of ownership and where acceptance is not a formality, the customer must have accepted the product or service. Heska’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point, or equivalent, and, as such, we primarily transfer control and record revenue for product sales upon shipment. If a performance obligation to the customer with respect to a sales transaction remains unfulfilled following shipment (typically owed installation), revenue recognition for that performance obligation is deferred until such commitments have been fulfilled. For extended warranty and service plans, control transfers to the customer over the term of the arrangement and as such the revenue is recognized ratably based upon the period of time elapsed under the arrangement.

Our revenue under subscription agreements relates to operating-type lease ("OTL") arrangements or sales-type lease ("STL") arrangements. Determination of an OTL or STL is primarily determined as a result of the length of the contract as compared to the estimated useful life of the instrument, among other factors. Leases are outside of the scope of ASC 606 and are therefore accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. A STL would result in earlier recognition of instrument revenue as compared to an OTL, which is generally upon installation of the instruments. Instrument lease revenue for our OTL subscription agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease and is included with the predominant non-lease components in consumables revenue. For instrument only OTL agreements, operating lease income is

recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The cash collected under both arrangements is over the term of the contract. The OTLs and STLs are not cancellable until after an initial term. See below for additional information on our lease accounting policies.

For contracts with both lease and non-lease components, the Company allocates the contracts' transaction price for each component on a relative standalone selling price basis using our best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct product or service in the contract. When available, the method used to estimate the standalone selling price is the price observed in standalone sales to customers. When prices in standalone sales are not available, we use a cost-plus margin approach. Changes in these values can impact the amount of consideration allocated to each component of the contract. Allocation of the transaction price is determined at the contracts' inception. The Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and payment for that good or service by the customer is expected to be one year or less.

To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, such as future payments based on consumable usage over time, we apply judgment to determine if the variable consideration should be constrained. As the variable consideration is highly susceptible to factors outside of the Company’s influence, and the potential values contain a broad range of possible outcomes given all potential amounts of consumption that could occur, it is likely that a significant revenue reversal would occur should the variable consideration be estimated at an amount greater than the minimum stated amount until such a time as the uncertainty is resolved. For our subscription agreements with variable consideration based on consumable usage over time, the variable consideration is allocated to the non-lease components upon resolution of the uncertainty and is included in consumables revenue.

We generate OVP revenue through contract manufacturing agreements with customers. Revenue from these customer contracts is generally recognized upon shipment or acceptance by our customer, under the same guidelines noted above for other outright product sales. Heska assessed the over-time criteria within ASC 606 and concluded that while products within this segment have no alternative use to Heska, as Heska is contractually prohibited to redirect the product to other customers, Heska does not have right to payment for performance to date. Therefore, point in time revenue recognition has been determined to be appropriate.

Recording revenue from the sale of products involves the use of estimates and management's judgment. We must make a determination at the time of sale whether the customer has the ability and intent to make payments in accordance with arrangements. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we exercise judgment in allocating the transaction price for each performance obligation based on an estimated standalone selling price for each distinct product or service. We do not generally allow return of products or instruments. Distributor rebates are recorded as a reduction to revenue.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based upon the estimated fair value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest and is recognized as expense over the applicable requisite service period of the award generally using the straight-line method.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing expenses.

Income Taxes

The Company records a current provision for income taxes based on estimated amounts payable or refundable on tax returns filed or to be filed each year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates, in each tax jurisdiction, expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The overall change in deferred tax assets and liabilities for the period measures the deferred tax expense or benefit for the period. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance based on a judgmental assessment of available evidence if the Company is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of certain foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts and cash flows are translated using an average of exchange rates in effect during the period. Cumulative translation gains and losses are shown in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Exchange gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies (i.e., transaction gains and losses) are recognized as a component of other income (expense) in current operations, as are exchange gains and losses on intercompany transactions expected to be settled in the near term. Gains and losses arising from intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature are reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Warranty Costs

The Company generally provides for the estimated cost of hardware and software warranties in the period the related revenue is recognized. The Company assesses the adequacy of its accrued warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary based on actual experience and changes in future estimates. Should product failure rates differ from our estimates, actual costs could vary significantly from our expectations. Extended warranties are sold to our customers and revenue is recognized over the term of the warranty agreement, as expected costs are incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. The income statement reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, in November 2018. This ASU clarifies that receivables from operating leases are accounted for using the lease guidance and not as financial instruments. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which further clarifies and improves guidance related to accounting for credit losses. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). This ASU provides relief to certain entities adopting ASU 2016-13. The amendment provides entities with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 with a cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. The impact of the adoption was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. We evaluated the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in this ASU clarify the interaction between the accounting for investments in equity securities, investment in equity method and certain derivatives instruments. The ASU is expected to reduce diversity in practice and increase comparability of the accounting for these interactions. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. We evaluated the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments. The update reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible debt will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The update also requires the if-converted method to be used for convertible instruments and the effect of potential share settlement be included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance may be early adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020,

and interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company has elected to early adopt ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2021. The Notes are a convertible instrument with a cash-conversion feature that is accounted for within the scope of ASC 470-20 and will be impacted by adopting ASU 2020-06. The Company has elected to apply the modified retrospective method wherein the Company will recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (January 1, 2021). Further, the Company will not restate EPS in the prior periods. The Company calculated the cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2021 by comparing (i) the historical amortization schedule for the Notes through December 31, 2020 and (ii) an updated amortization schedule wherein the conversion feature within the Notes would not be separated as an equity component and subsequently recognized as non-cash interest expense under ASC 835-30. As a result of ASU 2020-06, while cash interest expense is not impacted, non-cash interest accretion is limited to the amortization of debt issuance costs under ASC 835-30. Therefore, the Company prepared its transition journal entries by (i) reversing the conversion feature amount recorded in APIC and (ii) reversing the difference in non-cash interest expense via retained earnings. The expected impact on retained earnings is $4.3 million.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which updates various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements to align with the SEC's regulations. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, for public entities. The Company will adopt as of the reporting period beginning January 1, 2021. We evaluated the impact of the

standard on our consolidated financial statements and do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment

To maintain consistency and comparability, certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Lessee, Leases

The Company acts as a lessee and a lessor. As a lessee, the Company leases buildings, office equipment, and vehicles. As a lessor, the Company enters into sales-type and operating leases as part of its subscription agreements.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception based on whether control of an identified asset is transferred. For leases where the Company is the lessee, ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based

on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The lease terms used to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense while the expense for finance leases is recognized as amortization expense and interest expense. The Company has lease agreements which require payments for lease and non-lease components and has elected to account for these as a single lease component for our building and office equipment leases, but as separate components for our vehicle leases.

As a lessor, our subscription agreements relate to both OTL arrangements and STL arrangements. For a STL, instrument revenue is generally recorded upon installation of the instruments and the cost of the customer-leased instruments is removed from inventory and recognized in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. There is no residual value taken into consideration as it does not meet our capitalization requirements. For our OTL agreements that include both lease and non-lease components, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is included with the predominant non-lease components in consumables revenue. For instrument only OTL agreements, operating lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. For an OTL, the costs of customer-leased instruments are recorded within property and equipment in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and depreciated over the instrument’s estimated useful life. The depreciation expense is reflected in cost of revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.

For leases that commenced before the January 1, 2019 effective date of ASC 842, the Company elected the permitted practical expedients to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected to exclude leases with a term of 12 months or less from the recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities.

Lessor, Leases
