Business
ICON public limited company (“ICON”) is a clinical research organization (“CRO”), providing outsourced development services on a global basis to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries. We specialize in the strategic development, management and analysis of programs that support all stages of the clinical development process - from compound selection to Phase I-IV clinical studies. Our vision is to be the global CRO partner of choice in drug development by delivering best in class information, solutions and performance in clinical and outcomes research.
We believe that we are one of a select group of CROs with the expertise and capability to conduct clinical trials in most major therapeutic areas on a global basis and have the operational flexibility to provide development services on a stand-alone basis or as part of an integrated “full service” solution. At June 30, 2020 we had approximately 15,150 employees, in 94 locations in 40 countries. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we derived approximately 31.1%, 58.9% and 10.0% of our revenue in the United States, Europe and Rest of World respectively.
We began operations in 1990 and have expanded our business predominately through organic growth, together with a number of strategic acquisitions to enhance our capabilities and expertise in certain areas of the clinical development process. We are incorporated in Ireland and our principal executive office is located at: South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Republic of Ireland. The contact telephone number of this office is +353-1-291-2000.

Assessment of COVID-19 impact on the business
In the period since year-end, as a result of the global spread of COVID-19, the Company has experienced a negative impact on its operations. At this point in time, there continues to be significant uncertainty relating to the long-term effect of COVID-19 on our business. We have experienced restrictions on our ability to ensure laboratory samples are collected and analyzed on time, our ability to monitor our clinical trials, the ability of patients or other service providers to travel, and our ability to travel, as a result of the outbreak. These factors, amongst others, have resulted in a requirement to increase investment in impact prevention and increased operating costs.
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $74.9 million, or 10.8%, to $620.2 million, compared to $695.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Revenue decreased by 10.3% in constant currency and decreased by 11.4% in constant dollar organic terms. The decrease in revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2020 is due to the impact the COVID-19 global pandemic has had on operations including; our ability to ensure laboratory samples are collected and analyzed on time, our ability to perform on-site monitoring of clinical trials, the ability of patients or other service providers to travel, and our ability to travel. Certain cost saving measures were introduced in response to COVID-19 including salary reductions. The primary cost saving measure was the application of temporary salary reductions scaled based on seniority of employees.
In light of on-going developments relating to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in its Form 20-F filed on February 27, 2020 to include the following risk factors.
COVID-19 has, and may continue to, adversely affect our business performance. The Company has begun to experience a negative impact on our operations as a result of the global spread of COVID-19, including restrictions on our ability to ensure laboratory samples are collected and analyzed on time, our ability to monitor our clinical trials, the ability of patients or other service providers to travel, and our ability to travel. We have also experienced an increase in operating costs and investments in impact prevention.
The COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve. While our site network and office facilities have begun to re-open on a phased basis, the extent to which the outbreak may continue to impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of COVID-19, additional phases of the outbreak, travel restrictions and actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, such as social distancing and quarantines or lock-downs, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken throughout the world to contain and treat the disease.
Our information systems and those of third parties which we utilize may face increased cybersecurity risks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including from the significant number of employees that are working remotely or otherwise impacted by stay-at-home orders. Additional remote access points provide new potential vulnerabilities to cybercriminals. Employees of ICON and third parties may be more susceptible to social engineering efforts, and to phishing attempts which can disguise malware as a legitimate effort to circulate important information relating to COVID-19.
Please also refer to the complete Form 20-F filed on February 27, 2020 for additional risks and uncertainties facing the Company that may adversely affect our business.
Debt re-financing
On December 15, 2015, ICON Investments Five Unlimited Company issued Senior Notes for aggregate gross proceeds of $350.0 million in a private placement. The Senior Notes will mature on December 15, 2020. This debt will be repaid and new Senior Notes will be drawn in December 2020. In June 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate hedge in respect of the planned refinancing. The interest rate hedge was effective in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 815 'Derivatives and Hedging'. The fair value of this derivative is recorded within other comprehensive income. The interest rate hedge matured on July 9, 2020 when the interest rates on the issue of new Senior Notes were fixed.
New accounting pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting standards
ASU 2020-04 'Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting' provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the reference rate reform. The amendments apply only to contracts and transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued as part of the reform. This ASU was issued on March 12, 2020 and applies only to contracts or transactions entered into or evaluated before December 31, 2022. This ASU is effective upon issuance and may be adopted on any date on or after March 12, 2020. The impact of adopting ASU 2020-04 is not expected to be material to the Group.
ASU 2016-13 'Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments' (ASC 326) was effective, and adopted by the group, from January 1, 2020. ASC 326 introduces an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The new standard requires loss provisions to reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. The assessment must include consideration of both past events and current conditions. The methodology requires the use of forecast information to provide more timely and accurate credit loss estimates. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with ASC 842 on leases. The Group adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method. Under this transition method, the new standard is applied from January 1, 2020 without restatement of comparative period amounts. There was no impact of adopting ASC 326 on retained earnings at January 1, 2020.
ICON adopted ASU No. 2018-15 'Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)' (ASU 2018-15) effective from January 1, 2020. ASU 2018-15 provides guidance on when to capitalize implementation costs incurred in hosting arrangements which are accounted for as service contracts. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have an impact on the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
June 30, 2020
1. Basis of presentation
These condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”) have not been audited. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the operating results and financial position for the periods presented. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements included in ICON’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 (see note 2 - Significant accounting policies for impact of adoption of any new accounting standards). Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal period ending December 31, 2020.
2. Significant accounting policies
Redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity
On May 23, 2019, ICON acquired a majority ownership interest in MeDiNova. Included in the purchase agreement are put and call option arrangements with the noncontrolling interest holders that require (put option) or enable (call option) ICON to purchase the remaining minority ownership at a future date. The option is accounted for as temporary equity, which is presented separately as redeemable noncontrolling interest on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This classification reflects the assessment that the instruments are contingently redeemable in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99 'Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity'.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests are accreted to their redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the first date on which the option is exercisable. The change in the option's redemption value is recorded against retained earnings. In a computation of earnings per share, the accretion of redeemable noncontrolling interests to their redemption value is a reduction of net income attributable to the Group. Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share attributable to the Group includes the adjustment to reflect the accretion of the noncontrolling interest to its redemption value.
On March 9, 2020 ICON exercised its option to call the outstanding shares in the noncontrolling interest to take 100% ownership of MeDiNova. On exercise of the call option, the noncontrolling interest is extinguished and a liability is recorded for the amount payable to the former noncontrolling interest holders. This liability was settled on July 17, 2020 for $43.9 million.
Financial assets - credit losses
On January 1, 2020, the Group adopted ASU 2016-13 'Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326)', which significantly changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life. The update provides guidance on the measurement of credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The amendment replaces the current incurred loss impairment approach with a methodology to reflect expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to explain credit loss estimates.
The Group adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all in scope financial assets. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The impact of transitioning to the new standard at January 1, 2020 was immaterial and no adjustment was recorded to retained earnings for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326.
On transition to ASC 326, the Group has revised the methodology to calculate the allowance for credit losses. The Group's estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted, where necessary, for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. The Group's receivables and unbilled services are predominantly due from large and mid-tier pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that share similar risk characteristics. The Group monitors their portfolio of receivables and unbilled services for any deterioration in current or expected credit quality (for example, expected delinquency level), and adjusts the allowance for credit losses as required.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a previously provisioned amount is confirmed.

The new leasing standard (ASC 842 'Leases') was effective and adopted by ICON from January 1, 2019. ASC 842 'Leases' supersedes the requirements in ASC 840 'Leases' and requires that lessees recognize rights and obligations from virtually all leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease) on their balance sheets as right-of-use assets with corresponding lease liabilities. The ASU also provides additional guidance on how to classify leases and how to determine the lease term for accounting purposes.
ICON adopted the new standard under the cumulative effect adjustment approach. Under this transition method, the new standard is applied from January 1, 2019 without restatement of comparative period amounts. Operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of $106.5 million were recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as at January 1, 2019.
There was no impact of adopting ASC 842 on opening retained earnings at January 1, 2019.

Timing may differ between the satisfaction of performance obligations and the invoicing and collection of amounts related to our contracts with customers. We record assets for amounts related to performance obligations that are satisfied but not yet billed and/or collected. These assets are recorded as unbilled services and therefore contract assets rather than accounts receivables when receipt of the consideration is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Liabilities are recorded for amounts that are collected in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations or billed in advance of the revenue being earned.
Unbilled services/revenue balances arise where invoicing or billing is based on the timing of agreed milestones related to service contracts for clinical research. Contractual billing arrangements in respect of certain reimbursable expenses (principally investigators) require billing by the investigator to the Company prior to billing by the Company to the customer. As there is no contractual right to set-off between unbilled services (contract assets) and unearned revenue (contract liabilities), each are separately presented gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Unbilled services as at June 30, 2020 decreased by $12.4 million as compared to December 31, 2019. Unearned revenue increased by $26.2 million over the same period resulting in a decrease of $38.6 million in the net balance of unbilled services and unearned revenue or payments on account between December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020. These fluctuations are primarily due to timing of payments and invoicing related to the Group's clinical trial management contracts. Billings and payments are established by contractual provisions including predetermined payment schedules which may or may not correspond to the timing of the transfer of control of the Company's services under the contract. Unbilled services arise from long-term contracts when a cost-based input method of revenue recognition is applied and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer.
The credit loss expense and allowance for credit losses recognized on the Group's receivables and unbilled services was de minimis for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.
As of June 30, 2020 approximately $5.7 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized in the future in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 43% of the unsatisfied performance obligation over the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter over the duration of the customer contracts.
