Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization. NovoCure Limited (including its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in the Bailiwick of Jersey and is principally engaged in the development, manufacture and commercialization of Optune for the treatment of solid tumors. The Company has regulatory approvals and clearances in certain countries for Optune to treat adult patients with glioblastoma (“GBM”).  

Financial statement preparation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation for the periods presented. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2019.

The significant accounting policies applied in the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as disclosed in the 2018 10-K are applied consistently in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, except as noted below:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", which amends the existing standards for lease accounting, requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

 

The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, "Targeted Improvements - Leases (Topic 842)." This update provides an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, the prior comparative period’s financials will remain the same as those previously presented. The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2019 and it has also elected to adopt the package of practical expedients permitted in ASC 842.

The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are presented under the new standard, while comparative year and periods presented are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with Topic 840, Leases.

NOTE 4: COMMITMENTS, RIGHTS OF USE AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Operating Leases and Rights of Use. The facilities of the Company are leased under various operating lease agreements for periods, including options for extensions, ending no later than 2029. The Company also leases motor vehicles under various operating leases, which expire on various dates, the latest of which is in 2022.

Under ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842), all leases with durations greater than 12 months, including non-cancelable operating leases, are now recognized on the balance sheet. The aggregated present value of lease agreements, net of deferred rent, are recorded as a long-term asset titled right-of-use assets. The corresponding lease liabilities are split between other payables within current liabilities and long-term lease liabilities within long-term liabilities. The lease liabilities are presented without consideration for deferred rent.

Upon implementation of ASC-842, effective January 1, 2019, the Company recorded an increase in right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations of $15,733 on our opening balance sheet. Lease and rental payments for the three months ended March 31, 2019, totaled $1,740. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases as of March 31, 2019, are as follows:

Share Capital

NOTE 5: SHARE CAPITAL

In September 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). Under the 2015 Plan, the Company can issue various types of equity compensation awards such as share options, restricted shares, performance shares, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance units, long-term cash awards and other share-based awards.

Options granted under the 2015 Plan generally have a four-year vesting period and expire ten years after the date of grant. Options granted under the 2015 Plan that are cancelled or forfeited before expiration become available for future grants. RSUs granted under the 2015 Plan generally vest over a three-year period. RSUs granted under the 2015 Plan that are cancelled before expiration become available for future grants. As of March 31, 2019, 12,649,222 ordinary shares were available for grant under the 2015 Plan.

A summary of the status of the Company’s option plans as of March 31, 2019 and changes during the period then ended is presented below:

In September 2015, the Company adopted an employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”) to encourage and enable eligible employees to acquire ownership of the Company’s ordinary shares purchased through accumulated payroll deductions on an after-tax basis. In the United States, the ESPP is intended to be an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and the provisions of the ESPP will be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements of such section. The Company began its offerings under the ESPP on August 1, 2016. As of March 31, 2019, 3,122,410 ordinary shares were available to be purchased by eligible employees under the ESPP and 347,193 shares had been issued under the ESPP.

The fair value of share-based awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes model for all equity grants. For market condition awards, the Company also applied the Monte-Carlo simulation model, with the following underlying assumptions:

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", which amends the existing standards for lease accounting, requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

 

The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, "Targeted Improvements - Leases (Topic 842)." This update provides an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, the prior comparative period’s financials will remain the same as those previously presented. The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2019 and it has also elected to adopt the package of practical expedients permitted in ASC 842.

The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are presented under the new standard, while comparative year and periods presented are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with Topic 840, Leases.
