Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION General The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” and “Integra” refer to Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise. In the opinion of management, the September 30, 2016 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. On July 1, 2015, the Company completed the distribution of 100% of the outstanding common shares of SeaSpine Holdings Corporation ("SeaSpine") to Integra shareholders who received one share of SeaSpine common stock for every three shares of Integra common stock held as of the close of business on the record date, June 19, 2015. The Company has classified the results of operations and cash flows of SeaSpine as discontinued operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 presented in the Company's Form 10-Q. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements relates to the Company's continuing operations. Refer to Note 2 - Discontinued Operations, for additional information regarding the distribution. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates affecting amounts reported or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements include allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and sales returns and allowances, net realizable value of inventories, valuation of intangible assets including in-process research and development, amortization periods for acquired intangible assets, discount rates and estimated projected cash flows used to value and test impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, estimates of projected cash flows and depreciation and amortization periods for long-lived assets, computation of taxes, valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets, the valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation of derivative instruments, valuation of the equity component of convertible debt instruments, valuation of contingent liabilities, the fair value of debt instruments and loss contingencies. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). 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. To achieve that core principle, an entity should: 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This update will become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption as of January 1, 2017 is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued Update No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (Topic 718). The amendment requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This update became effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 on a prospective basis. The implementation of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. In August 2014, the FASB issued Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendment requires management to evaluate, for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. If substantial doubt is raised, additional disclosures around management’s plan to alleviate these doubts are required. This update will become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The implementation of the amended guidance is not expected to have an impact on current disclosures in the financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued Update No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendment requires that all costs incurred to issue certain debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt. The new standard is limited to the presentation of debt issuance costs and does not affect the recognition or measurement of debt issuance costs. This update became effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 on a retrospective basis. The implementation of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations and resulted in a reclassification of a portion of the debt issuance costs from other long-term assets to long-term debt. In July 2015, the FASB issued Update No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The amendment requires an entity to measure inventory that is within the scope of this amendment at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Existing impairment models will continue to be used for inventories that are accounted for using the last-in first-out (“LIFO”) method. The ASU requires prospective adoption for inventory measurements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities. Early adoption is permitted. The implementation of the amended guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations. In August 2015, the FASB issued Update No. 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest. The amendment requires entities to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The guidance in ASU No. 2015-03 does not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU No. 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff indicated that it would not object to an entity's deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. This update became effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 on a retrospective basis. The implementation of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations. In September 2015, the FASB issued Update No. 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The amendment 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. This update also requires an entity to present separately in the income statement or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. This update became effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The new standard must be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date. The implementation of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations or disclosures in the financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued Update No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740). Under current accounting guidance an entity is required to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and non-current amounts in a classified statement of financial position. The amendment requires that an entity present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. This update was designated to become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however the Company adopted this guidance effective December 31, 2015 on a prospective basis. In February 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under current accounting guidance an entity is not required to report operating leases on the balance sheet. The amendment requires that lessees recognize virtually all of their leases on the balance sheet, by recording a right-of-use asset and lease liability (other than leases that meet the definition of a "short-term lease"). This update will become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) (ASU 2016-09), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment. Under current accounting guidance an entity is required to report excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies, to the extent of previous windfalls, in equity when an award is settled. A tax benefit currently only is recognized when it is realized. Excess tax benefits at settlements are currently reported as cash inflows from financing activities. The amendment requires that an entity present all excess tax benefits and all tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the statement of operations to be applied using a prospective transition method. Related tax effects of share-based payment settlements are to be presented as cash inflows from operating activities with a transition method of either a prospective or retrospective transition method. The amendment also removes the requirement to delay recognition of an excess tax benefit until the tax benefit is realized. A modified retrospective transition method must be applied for this provision of amendment. ASU 2016-09 allows the Company to elect to account for forfeitures either based on an estimate of the number of awards for which the requisite service period is not expected to be rendered with a true-up for actual forfeitures or to account for forfeitures as they occur. The amendment also requires cash outflows attributable to tax withholdings on the net settlement of equity-classified awards to be classified in financing cash flows, with any changes to be applied retrospectively. ASU 2016-09 is effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2016-09 during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, which requires any adjustments to be reflected as of January 1, 2016, the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period of adoption. The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The impact in retained earnings as of December 31, 2015 from this provision was not significant. Amendments related to accounting for excess tax benefits have been adopted prospectively, resulting in recognition of excess tax benefits against income tax expenses rather than additional paid-in capital of $0.5 million and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Amendments related to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows have been adopted retrospectively. As a result of this adoption, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $8.1 million and net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 was adjusted as follows: a $10.1 million increase to net cash provided by operating activities and a $10.1 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities. In August 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The guidance addresses the classification of cash flows related to debt repayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or debt instruments with coupon rate that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, contingent consideration payments made after business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims and corporate-owned life insurance, distribution received from equity method investees and beneficial interest in securitization transaction. This update will become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements. There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On October 29, 2014, Integra's Board of Directors approved the announcement of a plan to separate the Company's spine and orthobiologics businesses, now known as SeaSpine Holdings Corporation, from Integra as a new, publicly traded medical technology company focused on the design, development and commercialization of surgical solutions for the treatment of patients suffering from spinal disorders. Integra's board of directors based this determination, in part, on its belief that the tax-free distribution of SeaSpine's shares to Integra stockholders was the most efficient manner to separate the business from Integra's other medical technology businesses. On November 3, 2014, the Company announced its intention to separate its spine business, which was previously a separate reportable segment. On July 1, 2015, the Company completed the distribution of 100% of the outstanding common stock of SeaSpine to Integra's stockholders, who received one share of SeaSpine common stock for every three shares of Integra common stock held as of the close of business on the record date, June 19, 2015. The Company and SeaSpine share three board members, including the chair of Integra’s board of directors, who is lead director for SeaSpine. The separation agreement provided SeaSpine with approximately $47.0 million of total cash immediately following the distribution. No gain or loss was recognized on the part of the Company or stockholders as a result of the distribution resulting from the separation of the spine business.

The historical results of operations, cash flows, and statement of financial position of SeaSpine have been presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements and prior periods have been restated. Discontinued operations include results of SeaSpine's business except for certain allocated corporate overhead costs and certain costs associated with transition services provided by Integra to SeaSpine. These allocated costs remain part of continuing operations. Discontinued operations also include other costs incurred by Integra to separate SeaSpine from the fourth quarter of 2014 through the second quarter of 2015. These costs include transaction charges, advisory and consulting fees, and information system expenses. Since the third quarter of 2015, SeaSpine has been a stand-alone public company that separately reports its financial results. Due to differences between the basis of presentation for discontinued operations and the basis of presentation as a stand-alone company, the financial results of SeaSpine included within discontinued operations for the Company may not be indicative of actual financial results of SeaSpine as a stand-alone company.

The following table summarizes results from discontinued operations of SeaSpine included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 (in thousands):



Total revenue	$	65,775
Costs and expenses	80,618
Operating loss	(14,843		)
Other income (expense), net	(766		)
Loss from discontinued operations before tax	(15,609		)
Benefit for income taxes	(5,239		)
Net loss from discontinued operations	$	(10,370	)

The removal of SeaSpine's net assets and unrealized accelerated currency translation adjustment was presented as a reduction in Integra's retained earnings.

In order to effect the separation and govern Integra's relationship with SeaSpine after the separation, the Company entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement and other agreements, including a Tax Matters Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement, several supply agreements, and a Transition Services Agreement. The Separation and Distribution Agreement governs the separation of the spine business, the transfer of assets and other matters related to the Company's relationship with SeaSpine.

The Tax Matters Agreement governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of SeaSpine and Integra with respect to taxes, tax attributes, tax returns, tax proceedings and certain other tax matters.

The Employee Matters Agreement governs the compensation and employee benefit obligations with respect to the current and former employees and non-employee directors of SeaSpine and Integra, and generally allocates liabilities and responsibilities relating to employee compensation, benefit plans and programs. The Employee Matters Agreement provides that employees of SeaSpine will no longer participate in benefit plans sponsored or maintained by Integra. In addition, the Employee Matters Agreement provides that each of the parties will be responsible for their respective former and current employees and compensation plans for such current employees.

The Company entered into several Supply Agreements in which SeaSpine engaged Integra to be the product supplier of Integra's former Integra Mozaik^TMproduct line ("Mozaik") for a three-year period following the separation, after which there will be no defined terms and this will be considered a normal purchase/sale arrangement. This product line has been licensed to SeaSpine in conjunction with the spin-off. Prior to the spin-off, sales of Mozaik products from an Integra facility to a SeaSpine facility were eliminated in Integra's historical consolidated financial results of operations. The revenue and cost of goods sold related to prior sales of Mozaik to SeaSpine have been restated and are presented in Integra's continuing operations as results of operations.

Business Combinations [Abstract]

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Tekmed

On December 15, 2015, the Company acquired the assets of Tekmed Instruments S.p.A ("Tekmed") for an aggregate purchase price of $14.1 million including a minimal amount of working capital and purchase adjustment which was recorded as an adjustment to assumed liabilities. Tekmed was a distributor of the Company's and third parties' products in Italy and focused on neurosurgery and neurotrauma, along with representation in plastic and reconstructive surgery, cardiovascular surgery, image diagnostics, general surgery, anesthesia and intensive care, interventional radiology, and proton therapy. This acquisition enables the Company to sell directly into the market to support our Specialty Surgical Solutions division's growth in Italy along with other key Integra franchises.

The Company recorded revenue for Tekmed of approximately $0.9 million and $3.3 million related to third-party products in the consolidated statements of operations for the three- and nine-month ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The net income or loss attributable to this acquisition cannot be identified on a stand-alone basis because it is in the process of being integrated into the Company's operations.

The following summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price as of September 30, 2016 based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:



	Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
	(Dollars in thousands)
Inventory	$	1,143
Other current assets	11
Property, plant, and equipment	669
Intangible assets:			Wtd. Avg. Life:
Supplier contracts	4,981		2 -13 Years
Goodwill	9,665
Total assets acquired	16,469
Accrued expenses and other liabilities	802
Deferred tax liabilities	1,564
Net assets acquired	$	14,103

Tornier's United States Toe & Ankle Business

On October 2, 2015, the Company acquired the United States rights to Tornier's Salto Talaris® and Salto Talaris® XT ankle replacement products and Tornier's Futura^TM silastic toe replacement products (the "Salto and Futura") for $6.0 million in cash. Under the agreement, Integra acquired the U.S. rights to the Salto Talaris® Total Ankle Prosthesis, Salto Talaris® XT Revision Total Ankle Prosthesis, Futura™ Primus Flexible Great Toe system, Futura™ Classic Flexible Great Toe system, and Futura™ Lesser Metatarsal Phalangeal system. The agreement also includes an option to purchase, in the future, the rights to the Salto Talaris®, Salto Talaris® XT, Salto Mobile, and Futura™ silastic toe replacement products outside the United States. The estimated fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the purchase price for the Salto and Futura product lines and resulted in the Company's recording a gain of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 in Other Income. The acquired toe and ankle products enhance the Company's lower extremities product offering and accelerate its entry into the U.S. total ankle replacement market.

The Company recorded revenue for Salto and Futura of approximately $3.2 million and $10.5 million in the consolidated statements of operations for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The net income or loss attributable to this acquisition cannot be identified on a stand-alone basis because it is in the process of being integrated into the Company's operations.

The following summarizes the allocation of the purchase price as of September 30, 2016 based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:



	Purchase Price Allocation
	(Dollars in thousands)
Inventory	$	2,688
Property, plant, and equipment	1,453
Intangible assets:			Wtd. Avg. Life:

TEI

On July 17, 2015, the Company executed the two merger agreements (collectively, the "Agreements") under which the Company acquired TEI Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TEI Bio"), and TEI Medical Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TEI Med", collectively "TEI") for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $312.2 million ($210.9 million for TEI Bio and $101.3 million for TEI Med) including a working capital and purchase price adjustment of $0.2 million ($0.5 million for TEI Bio offset by $0.7 million cash received for TEI Med) which was recorded as a reduction from goodwill. The purchase price consisted of a cash payment to the former shareholders of TEI Bio and TEI Med of approximately $312.4 million upon the closing of the transaction, net of $1.2 million of acquired cash.

TEI Bio was in the business of developing and commercializing biologic devices for soft tissue repair and regenerative applications, including dura and hernia repair and plastic and reconstructive surgery. TEI Med holds a license to TEI Bio’s regenerative technology in the fields of wound healing and orthopedics.

The Company recorded revenue for TEI of approximately $12.6 million and $38.6 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three- and nine-month ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and $13.2 million for the three- and nine-month ended September 30, 2015. The net income or loss attributable to this acquisition cannot be identified on a stand-alone basis because it is in the process of being integrated into the Company's operations.

The following summarizes the allocation of the purchase price as of September 30, 2016 based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:



	Purchase Price Allocation
	(Dollars in thousands)
Cash	$	1,241
Accounts receivable, net	9,011
Inventory	23,223
Income tax receivable	5,135
Other current assets	2,670

Total assets acquired	409,825
Accrued expenses and other liabilities	9,732
Deferred tax liabilities	87,908
Net assets acquired	$	312,185

The Company recognized a contingent receivable from TEI of $0.4 million included in Other assets as of December 31, 2015. The contingent receivable is measured at fair value and classified as a Level 3 financial instrument. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, the fair value of the contingent receivable increased by $1.0 million to reflect a change in estimate and time value of money. As of September 30, 2016, the $1.4 million balance of this contingent receivable is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets of $0.9 million and $0.5 million , respectively.

Pro Forma Results

The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 as if the acquisitions completed by the Company during 2015 had been completed as of the beginning of the prior year. The pro forma results are based upon certain assumptions and estimates, and they give effect to actual operating results prior to the acquisition and adjustments to reflect (i) the change in interest expense, depreciation expense, and intangible asset amortization, (ii) certain external expenses related to the acquisition as if they were incurred on January 1 of the year prior to the acquisition that will not be recurring in the post-acquisition periods, and (iii) income taxes on the aforementioned adjustments at the Company’s statutory rate. No effect has been given to other cost reductions or operating synergies. As a result, these pro forma results do not necessarily represent results that would have occurred if the acquisition had taken place on the basis assumed above, nor are they indicative of the results of future combined operations.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

DEBT

Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement

On August 28, 2015, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2014 among the Company, a syndicate of lending banks, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent, and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, Royal Bank of Canada, Citizens Bank, National Association, DNB Capital LLC, Crédit Agricole-Corporate and Investment Bank, and TD Bank, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents.

The Second Amendment created an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.1 billion available to the Company through the following facilities:


i.	a $750.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $60.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $60.0 million sublimit for swingline loans, and


ii.	a $350.0 million term loan facility.

In connection with the Second Amendment, the Company borrowed $200.0 million of incremental term loans as permitted under the original terms of the Senior Credit Facility to repay a portion of the Company's outstanding revolving loans. Additionally, the Second Amendment (i) enables the Company to incur up to $200.0 million of incremental loans in the future and (ii) modifies the consolidated leverage ratio covenant in the Credit Agreement. The July 2014 amended and restated Senior Credit Facility extended the maturity date of the prior facility from June 8, 2016 to July 2, 2019.

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to:


i.	the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the amendment and restatement) in effect from time to time plus the applicable rate (ranging from 1.00% to 1.75%), or


ii.	the highest of:


1.	the weighted average overnight Federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.50%,


2.	the prime lending rate of Bank of America, N.A., or


3.	the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%.

The applicable rates are based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of (a) consolidated funded indebtedness less cash in excess of $40.0 million that is not subject to any restriction of the use or investment thereof to (b) consolidated EBITDA) at the time of the applicable borrowing.

The Company will also pay an annual commitment fee (ranging from 0.15% to 0.30%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio) on the daily amount by which the revolving credit facility exceeds the outstanding loans and letters of credit under the credit facility.

The Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries, excluding intangible assets. The Senior Credit Facility is subject to various financial and negative covenants and at September 30, 2016 the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. The Company capitalized $1.4 million of incremental financing costs in 2015 in connection with the modifications of the Senior Credit Facility.

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were $120.0 million and $150.0 million outstanding, respectively, under the revolving credit component of the Senior Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 2.2% and 1.9%, respectively. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were $342.5 million and $346.2 million outstanding, respectively, under the term loan component of the Senior Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 2.1% and 1.8%, respectively. At September 30, 2016, there was approximately $630.0 million available for borrowing under the Senior Credit Facility.

The fair value of outstanding borrowings of the Senior Credit Facility's revolving credit facility and term loan components at September 30, 2016 was approximately $119.1 million and $340.0 million, respectively. These fair values were determined by using a discounted cash flow model based on current market interest rates available to the Company. These inputs are corroborated by observable market data for similar liabilities and therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 inputs represent inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly and are other than active market observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities. The Company considers the balance to be long-term in nature based on its current intent and ability to repay the borrowing outside of the next twelve-month period.

Contractual repayments of the term loan began September 30, 2015 and are due as follows:



Year Ended December 31,	Principal Repayment
	(In thousands)
2016	$	10,625
2017	25,625
2018	32,500
2019	273,750
	$	342,500

The outstanding balance of revolving credit component of the Senior Credit Facility is due on July 2, 2019.

2016 Convertible Senior Notes

On June 15, 2011, the Company issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2016 (the “2016 Notes”). The 2016 Notes mature on December 15, 2016, and bear interest at a rate of 1.625% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on December 15 and June 15 of each year. The portion of the debt proceeds that was classified as equity at the time of the offering was $43.2 million, an equivalent of that amount is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through December 2016. The effective interest rate implicit in the liability component is 5.6%.

At September 30, 2016, the carrying amount of the liability component was $225.2 million, the remaining unamortized discount was $1.9 million, the unamortized debt issuance cost was fully amortized and the principal amount outstanding was $227.1 million. At December 31, 2015, the carrying amount of the liability component was $218.2 million, the remaining unamortized discount was $8.4 million, the remaining unamortized debt issuance cost was $0.5 million and the principal amount outstanding was $227.1 million.

The fair value of the 2016 Notes at September 30, 2016 was approximately $356.0 million. The fair value of the liability of the 2016 Notes was determined using a discounted cash flow model based on current market interest rates available to the Company. These inputs are corroborated by observable market data for similar liabilities and therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The 2016 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company, and are convertible into cash and, if applicable, shares of its common stock based on an initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment of 18.9287 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2016 Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $52.83 per share). The Company will satisfy any conversion of the 2016 Notes with cash up to the principal amount of the 2016 Notes pursuant to the net share settlement mechanism set forth in the indenture and, with respect to any excess conversion value, with shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2016 Notes are convertible only in the following circumstances: (1) if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price during a period as defined in the indenture; (2) if the average trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2016 Notes is less than or equal to 98% of the average conversion value of the 2016 Notes during a period as defined in the indenture; (3) at any time on or after June 15, 2016; or (4) if specified corporate transactions occur, which included the spin-off of the spine business. The issue price of the 2016 Notes was equal to their face amount, which is also the amount holders are entitled to receive at maturity if the 2016 Notes are not converted. As of March 31, 2015, certain conversion features were triggered due to the announced spin-off of the Company's subsidiary, SeaSpine Holdings Corporation, which allowed the holders to convert all or any of the 2016 Notes subject to certain conditions. The 2016 Notes were convertible through June 10, 2015 and as of the close of the conversion window, note holders provided notice to convert 2,903 notes representing aggregate principal amount of $2.9 million. During 2015, the Company paid $2.9 million in cash and issued 8,457 shares to settle the obligation to the note holders that converted. The Company considers the balance to be long-term in nature based on its current intent and ability to refinance the borrowing.

In connection with the issuance of the 2016 Notes, the Company entered into call transactions and warrant transactions, primarily with affiliates of the initial purchasers of such notes (the “hedge participants”). The initial strike price of the call transaction is approximately $52.83 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The initial strike price of the warrant transaction is approximately $64.43 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Interest Rate Hedging

The Company’s interest rate risk relates to U.S. dollar denominated variable interest rate borrowings. On June 22, 2016, the Company entered into two $50.0 million interest rate swap derivative instruments with separate financial institutions, each with an effective date of December 31, 2016 to manage its earnings and cash flow exposure to changes in interest rates covering a portion of its floating-rate debt. These interest rate swaps expire on June 30, 2019.

On July 12, 2016, the Company entered into an additional $50.0 million interest rate swap derivative instruments with a separate financial institution with an effective date of December 31, 2016 to manage its earnings and cash flow exposure to changes in interest rates covering a portion of its floating-rate debt. This interest rate swap was also designated as a cash flow hedge and expires on June 30, 2019.

On August 10, 2015 the interest rate swap derivative instrument the Company entered into on August 10, 2010 with an effective date of December 31, 2010 expired. The interest rate swap was used to manage the Company's earnings and cash flow exposure to changes in interest rates by converting a portion of its floating-rate debt into fixed-rate debt.

The Company designated these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. The Company recorded the effective portion of any change in the fair value of a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge as unrealized gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of tax, until the hedged item affected earnings, at which point the effective portion of any gain or loss was reclassified to earnings. If the hedged cash flow does not occur, or if it becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company will reclassify the amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge to interest expense at that time.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had total outstanding interest rate swaps of $150.0 million with an effective date of December 31, 2016.

Foreign Currency Hedging

From time to time the Company enters into foreign currency hedge contracts intended to protect the U.S. dollar value of certain forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions. The Company records the effective portion of any change in the fair value of foreign currency cash flow hedges in AOCI, net of tax, until the hedged item affects earnings. Once the related hedged item affects earnings, the Company reclassifies the effective portion of any related unrealized gain or loss on the foreign currency cash flow hedge to earnings. If the hedged forecasted transaction does not occur, or if it becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company will reclassify the amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge to earnings at that time.

The success of the Company’s hedging program depends, in part, on forecasts of certain activity denominated in euros. The Company may experience unanticipated currency exchange gains or losses to the extent that there are differences between forecasted and actual activity during periods of currency volatility. In addition, changes in currency exchange rates related to any unhedged transactions may affect its earnings and cash flows.

Counterparty Credit Risk

The Company manages its concentration of counterparty credit risk on its derivative instruments by limiting acceptable counterparties to a group of major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, and by actively monitoring their credit ratings and outstanding positions on an ongoing basis. Therefore, the Company considers the credit risk of the counterparties to be low. Furthermore, none of the Company’s derivative transactions are subject to collateral or other security arrangements, and none contain provisions that depend upon the Company’s credit ratings from any credit rating agency.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The Company has classified all of its derivative instruments within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the derivative instruments. The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to inventory purchases is determined by comparing the forward rate as of the period end and the settlement rate specified in each contract. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was developed using a market approach based on publicly available market yield curves and the terms of the related swap. The Company performs ongoing assessments of counterparty credit risk.

The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation for derivatives designated as hedging instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016:

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	9 Months Ended
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	Sep. 30, 2016
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION As of September 30, 2016, the Company had stock options, restricted stock awards, performance stock units, contract stock awards and restricted stock unit awards outstanding under three plans, the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”), the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2001 Plan”), and the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan,” and collectively, the “Plans”). Stock options issued under the Plans become exercisable over specified periods, generally within four years from the date of grant for officers, directors, and employees, and generally expire eight years from the grant date for employees, and from eight to ten years for directors and certain executive officers. Restricted stock issued under the Plans vests over specified periods, generally three years after the date of grant. The vesting of performance stock, issued under the Plans, is subject to service and performance conditions. In connection with the separation of SeaSpine on July 1, 2015 and in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement, the Company made certain adjustments to the exercise price and number of share-based compensation awards with the intention of preserving the intrinsic value of the awards prior to the separation. Stock options issued in 2015 prior to the separation converted to those of the entity where the employee is working post-separation. Stock options issued prior to 2015 converted to both Integra and SeaSpine options such that the holders received stock options in both companies. The exercise price of these outstanding awards was adjusted to preserve the value of the awards immediately prior to the separation. Performance stock, restricted stock, and contract stock were adjusted to provide holders performance stock, restricted stock, and contract stock in the company that employs such employee following the separation. The adjustments to the Company's stock-based compensation awards resulted in an increase in incremental fair value of $4.4 million, of which $3.3 million has been previously recorded and $0.1 million and $0.5 million were recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The remaining $0.6 million will be recognized prospectively over the remaining term of outstanding awards. Stock Options As of September 30, 2016, there were approximately $3.4 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options, including the additional incremental fair value expense discussed above. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years. There were 111,662 stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Awards of Restricted Stock, Performance Stock and Contract Stock Performance stock, restricted stock and contract stock awards generally have requisite service periods of three years. Performance stock units are subject to graded vesting conditions, and the Company expenses their fair value over the requisite service period. The Company expenses the fair value of restricted stock and contract stock awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period or requisite service period, whichever is shorter. As of September 30, 2016, there were approximately $17.8 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to these unvested awards, including the additional incremental fair value expense discussed above. The Company expects to recognize these costs over a weighted-average period of approximately two years. The Company granted 157,131 restricted stock awards/stock units and 78,177 performance shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company has no formal policy related to the repurchase of shares for the purpose of satisfying stock-based compensation obligations. The Company also maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which provides eligible employees with the opportunity to acquire shares of common stock at periodic intervals by means of accumulated payroll deductions. The ESPP is a non-compensatory plan based on its terms.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

The following table provides a summary of the Company’s effective tax rate:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015

Reported tax rate	19.4	%	694.6	%	15.7	%	119.7	%

The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were 19.4% and 694.6%, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2016, the primary drivers of the lower tax rate are excess tax benefits of $0.5 million as a result of early adoption of ASU 2016-09 and a benefit of $0.5 million for a Federal research credit study, offset by an expense of $0.4 million related to an uncertain tax position. The primary driver of the higher tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, was a $35.6 million valuation allowance recorded as a result of the spin-off of the spine business. Excluding the valuation allowance, the primary driver of the higher tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, was tax expense of $0.3 million relating to the filing of foreign tax returns and the settlement of foreign audits.

The Company's effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were 15.7% and 119.7%, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the primary drivers of the lower tax rate are excess tax benefits of $3.4 million as a result of early adoption of ASU 2016-09, a benefit of $0.7 million for the release of uncertain tax positions and a benefit of $0.5 million for the Federal research credit study, offset by an expense of $0.4 million related to an uncertain tax position. The income tax rate expense for both the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2015 includes an expense of $35.6 million expense relating to a valuation allowance recorded as a result of the spin-off of the spine business. The Company determined that upon spin-off, the deferred tax assets of the spine business would be unrealizable due to impact of the historic operations.

The Company expects its effective income tax rate for the full year to be approximately 17.0%, resulting largely from excess tax benefits as a result of the early adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Federal research credit benefits and the jurisdictional mix of income before tax in U.S.-based operations relative to foreign operations. This estimate could be revised in the future as additional information is presented to the Company.

In connection with the separation of SeaSpine on July 1, 2015 and in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement, the Company made certain adjustments to the exercise price and number of share-based compensation awards with the intention of preserving the intrinsic value of the awards prior to the separation. Stock options issued in 2015 prior to the separation converted to those of the entity where the employee was working post-separation. Stock options issued prior to 2015 converted to both Integra and SeaSpine options such that the holders received stock options in both companies. The exercise price of these outstanding awards was adjusted to preserve the value of the awards immediately prior to the separation. Performance stock, restricted stock, and contract stock were adjusted to provide holders performance stock, restricted stock, and contract stock in the company that employs such employee following the separation.

Common stock of approximately 0.1 million and 0.6 million of shares at September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, that are issuable through exercise of dilutive securities were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the potential excess conversion value on the 2016 Notes and warrants were included in the Company's dilutive share calculation because the average stock price for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 exceeded the conversion price.

Restricted Units that entitle the holders to approximately 0.1 million shares of common stock are included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding calculation.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Sep. 30, 2016

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In consideration for certain technology, manufacturing, distribution, and selling rights and licenses granted to the Company, the Company has agreed to pay royalties on sales of certain products that it sells. The royalty payments that the Company made under these agreements were not significant for any of the periods presented.

The Company is subject to various claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of the Company's business, including claims by current or former employees, distributors and competitors and with respect to its products and product liability claims, lawsuits and proceedings, some of which have been settled by the Company. In the opinion of management, such claims are either adequately covered by insurance or otherwise indemnified, or are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition. However, it is possible that the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows in a particular period could be materially affected by these contingencies.

TEI, acquired by Integra on July 17, 2015, manufactures a bovine-derived surgical mesh product for Boston Scientific Corporation ("BSC") and has been named as a defendant in lawsuits under a broad range of products liability theories, many of which have not been served on TEI. Currently, there are approximately fifty active cases against TEI. Pursuant to an indemnification agreement with BSC (i) BSC is managing the litigation; (ii) TEI has in place a products liability insurance policy, of which it must exhaust $3.0 million before BSC’s indemnity begins to cover relevant claims (and of which only a small portion has been utilized to date and against which the insurer has reserved the entire $3.0 million). Because the thrust of products liability litigation focuses on synthetic surgical mesh products, counsel is filing motions to dismiss on behalf of TEI in many cases. In addition, Integra has certain protections in the merger agreements with TEI which would indemnify it for approximately $30.0 million for the first fifteen months after closing and between $20.0 and $30.0 million for the remainder of the three-year period after closing for losses relating to a variety of matters, including half of certain products liability claims (including those related to the product it manufactures for BSC) not covered by insurance. As of October 28, 2016, no indemnification payments were received nor owed in relation to the lawsuits for the initial indemnification time period, which cover the first fifteen months after closing.

The Company accrues for loss contingencies when it is deemed probable that a loss has been incurred and that loss is estimable. The amounts accrued are based on the full amount of the estimated loss before considering insurance proceeds, and do not include an estimate for legal fees expected to be incurred in connection with the loss contingency. The Company consistently accrues legal fees expected to be incurred in connection with loss contingencies as those fees are incurred by outside counsel as a period cost.

Contingent Consideration

The Company increased the fair value of contingent consideration during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 to reflect the change in estimate and the time value of money during the period. A reconciliation of the opening balances to the closing balances of these Level 3 measurements is as follows (in thousands):



			Location in Financial Statements
Balance as of January 1, 2016	$	21,831
Loss from increase in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities	74		Selling, general and administrative
Fair value at September 30, 2016	$	21,905

The fair values of contingent consideration were estimated using a discounted cash flow model using discount rate of 2.20%. The Company assesses these assumptions on an ongoing basis as additional information impacting the assumptions is obtained. The entire contingent consideration balance was included in Other liabilities at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Supply Agreement Liability and Above Market Supply Agreement Liability

The Company determined the fair value of its supply agreement liability and above market supply agreement liability the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 to reflect the payments, change in estimate and the time value of money during the period. A reconciliation of the opening balances to the closing balances of these Level 3 measurements is as follows (in thousands):



	Supply Agreement Liability - Current			Supply Agreement - Long-term			Above Market Supply Agreement Liability		Location in Financial Statements
Balance as of January 1, 2016	$	1,991		$	161		$	931
Payments	(1,500		)	—			—
Transfer from long-term to current portion	161			(161		)	—
Loss from increase in fair value	13			—			1,009		Selling, general and administrative
Other	—			—			681		Goodwill
Fair value at September 30, 2016	$	665		$	—		$	2,621

The fair values of supply agreement liability and above market supply agreement liability were estimated using a discounted cash flow model using discount rate of 12.0%. The Company assesses these assumptions on an ongoing basis as additional information impacting the assumptions is obtained. The supply agreement liability-current was included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the supply agreement-long term and above market supply agreement liability were included in Other liabilities at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT	Sep. 30, 2016
Subsequent Events [Abstract]
SUBSEQUENT EVENT	SUBSEQUENT EVENT Termination of Share Repurchase Plan On October 25, 2016, our Board of Directors terminated the previous share repurchase plan dated October 28, 2014, and authorized a new repurchase of up to $150.0 million of outstanding common stock through December 2018. Shares may be repurchased either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Retiring Treasury Shares On October 25, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved a resolution to retire approximately 8.9 million treasury shares and return such shares to authorized, but unissued shares of common stock. These shares will become available for issue on or about October 28, 2016. Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation On October 25, 2016, our Board of Directors recommended, subject to stockholder approval, an Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 60.0 million shares to 240.0 million shares with $0.01 per share par value, for the purpose of, among other things, affecting a two-for-one stock split. A special meeting of stockholders will be on December 21, 2016 to consider and vote upon the Amendment.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)	9 Months Ended
BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)	Sep. 30, 2016
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). 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. To achieve that core principle, an entity should: 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This update will become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption as of January 1, 2017 is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued Update No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (Topic 718). The amendment requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This update became effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 on a prospective basis. The implementation of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. In August 2014, the FASB issued Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendment requires management to evaluate, for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. If substantial doubt is raised, additional disclosures around management’s plan to alleviate these doubts are required. This update will become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The implementation of the amended guidance is not expected to have an impact on current disclosures in the financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued Update No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendment requires that all costs incurred to issue certain debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt. The new standard is limited to the presentation of debt issuance costs and does not affect the recognition or measurement of debt issuance costs. This update became effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 on a retrospective basis. The implementation of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations and resulted in a reclassification of a portion of the debt issuance costs from other long-term assets to long-term debt. In July 2015, the FASB issued Update No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The amendment requires an entity to measure inventory that is within the scope of this amendment at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Existing impairment models will continue to be used for inventories that are accounted for using the last-in first-out (“LIFO”) method. The ASU requires prospective adoption for inventory measurements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities. Early adoption is permitted. The implementation of the amended guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations. In August 2015, the FASB issued Update No. 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest. The amendment requires entities to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The guidance in ASU No. 2015-03 does not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU No. 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff indicated that it would not object to an entity's deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. This update became effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 on a retrospective basis. The implementation of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations. In September 2015, the FASB issued Update No. 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The amendment 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. This update also requires an entity to present separately in the income statement or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. This update became effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The new standard must be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date. The implementation of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations or disclosures in the financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued Update No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740). Under current accounting guidance an entity is required to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and non-current amounts in a classified statement of financial position. The amendment requires that an entity present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. This update was designated to become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however the Company adopted this guidance effective December 31, 2015 on a prospective basis. In February 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under current accounting guidance an entity is not required to report operating leases on the balance sheet. The amendment requires that lessees recognize virtually all of their leases on the balance sheet, by recording a right-of-use asset and lease liability (other than leases that meet the definition of a "short-term lease"). This update will become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) (ASU 2016-09), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment. Under current accounting guidance an entity is required to report excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies, to the extent of previous windfalls, in equity when an award is settled. A tax benefit currently only is recognized when it is realized. Excess tax benefits at settlements are currently reported as cash inflows from financing activities. The amendment requires that an entity present all excess tax benefits and all tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the statement of operations to be applied using a prospective transition method. Related tax effects of share-based payment settlements are to be presented as cash inflows from operating activities with a transition method of either a prospective or retrospective transition method. The amendment also removes the requirement to delay recognition of an excess tax benefit until the tax benefit is realized. A modified retrospective transition method must be applied for this provision of amendment. ASU 2016-09 allows the Company to elect to account for forfeitures either based on an estimate of the number of awards for which the requisite service period is not expected to be rendered with a true-up for actual forfeitures or to account for forfeitures as they occur. The amendment also requires cash outflows attributable to tax withholdings on the net settlement of equity-classified awards to be classified in financing cash flows, with any changes to be applied retrospectively. ASU 2016-09 is effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2016-09 during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, which requires any adjustments to be reflected as of January 1, 2016, the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period of adoption. The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The impact in retained earnings as of December 31, 2015 from this provision was not significant. Amendments related to accounting for excess tax benefits have been adopted prospectively, resulting in recognition of excess tax benefits against income tax expenses rather than additional paid-in capital of $0.5 million and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Amendments related to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows have been adopted retrospectively. As a result of this adoption, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $8.1 million and net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 was adjusted as follows: a $10.1 million increase to net cash provided by operating activities and a $10.1 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities. In August 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The guidance addresses the classification of cash flows related to debt repayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or debt instruments with coupon rate that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, contingent consideration payments made after business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims and corporate-owned life insurance, distribution received from equity method investees and beneficial interest in securitization transaction. This update will become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements. There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
