Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 2. Significant Accounting Policies (a) Use of Estimates In preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include: provision for product returns, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory provisions, useful lives of amortizable intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, fair value of options granted and related forfeiture rates, and realizability of deferred tax assets. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in the Company’s business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future activity, the Company’s consolidated financial statements could be materially impacted. (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash generally with maturities of three months or less when purchased. (c) Restricted Cash Restricted cash is cash held as collateral for transactions and a certain loan the Company has entered into. (d) Accounts Receivable The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business and actively pursues past due accounts. The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of the Company’s customers, current economic conditions and other factors that may affect its customers’ ability to pay. (e) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of work in progress and finished goods is determined on a weighted-average cost basis and includes direct material, direct labor and overhead costs. Net realizable value represents the anticipated selling price, net of distribution cost, less estimated costs to completion for work in progress. (f) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expenses as incurred. Equipment purchased for specific research and development projects with no alternative uses are expensed. Assets under construction are not depreciated until construction is completed and the assets are ready for their intended use. Gains and losses from the disposal of property, plant and equipment are recorded in gain or loss on disposal and impairment of property, plant and equipment included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Plant and buildings 10 24 Machinery and equipment 8 10 Motor vehicles 4 5 Office equipment and furniture 3 5 Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful lives and term of lease (g) Prepaid Land Lease Payments Prepaid land lease payments represent amounts paid for the rights to use land in the PRC and is recorded at purchased cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement, which ranges from 28 49 (h) Licenses The Company capitalizes the patent payment and the purchased cost of vaccines if the vaccine has received a new drug certificate from the China Food and Drug Administration (“CFDA”) of China. If the vaccine has not received a new drug certificate, the purchase cost is expensed as in-process research and development. Licenses in relation to the production and sales of pharmaceutical products are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. Costs incurred to renew or extend the term of licenses are capitalized and amortized over the license’s useful life on a straight-line basis. (i) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets including intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable from the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. An asset group is identified as assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. If the asset group is not fully recoverable, an impairment loss would be recognized for the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its estimated fair value, based on the discounted net future cash flows or other appropriate methods, such as comparable market values. The Company uses estimates and judgments in its impairment tests and if different estimates or judgment had been utilized, the timing or the amount of any impairment charges could be materially different. (j) Income Taxes The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the carrying values and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 (“ASU 2015-17”), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, simplifying the presentation of deferred income taxes, where deferred tax liabilities and assets are to be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2017 using the retrospective method. As a result deferred tax assets of $ 3,492 The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such a position are measured based on the amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes a change in available facts after the reporting date but before issuance of the financial statements in the period when the change in facts occur, even if that new information provides a better estimate of the ultimate outcome of an uncertainty. Liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions are classified as long-term unless expected to be paid within one year. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded in the provision for income taxes and classified with the related liability on the consolidated balance sheets. (k) Value-added Taxes Value-added taxes (“VAT”) collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis. VAT collected from customers is excluded from revenue. (l) Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, delivery has occurred and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. The Company generally obtains purchase authorizations from its customers for a specified amount of products at a specified price and considers delivery to have occurred when the customer takes title of the products. The Company provides certain customers with a right of return. Revenue for inactivated hepatitis A, combined inactivated hepatitis A&B, seasonal influenza and enterovirus 71 vaccines are recognized when delivery has occurred and the Company can reasonably estimates return provision for these products. The product return provisions for inactivated hepatitis A vaccine and combined inactivated hepatitis A&B vaccine are estimated based on historical return and exchange data as well as the inventory levels and the remaining shelf lives of the products in the distribution channels. The Company started selling enterovirus 71 vaccines in 2016 . of $ 8,074 and $ 5,901 $ 0.10 0.10 As of December 31, 2017, sales return provision for inactivated hepatitis A vaccine, combined inactivated hepatitis A&B vaccine and enterovirus 71 vaccine was $ 4,672 5,039 3.1 10.9 263 533 Revenue for mumps vaccines without a right of return provided to customers is recognized when delivery has occurred. Revenue for mumps vaccines with a right of return provided to customers is recognized when payments are collected from customers. Deferred revenue is generally related to government stockpiling programs and advances received from customers. For government stockpiling programs of H5N1 vaccines, the Company generally obtains purchase authorizations from the government for a specified amount of products at a specified price and no rights of return are provided. Revenue is recognized when the government takes delivery of the products. If the products expire prior to delivery, these expired products are recognized as revenue once cash is received and the products have expired and passed government inspection. (m) Shipping and Handling Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in sales. Costs related to shipping and handling are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). For the year ended December 31, 2017, $ 5,759 1,654 1,389 (n) Advertising Expenses Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising costs were $ 4,007 3,336 2,777 (o) Research and Development Research and development ("R&D") costs are expensed as incurred and are disclosed as a separate line item in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). R&D costs consist primarily of the remuneration of R&D staff, depreciation, material, clinical trial costs as well as amortization of acquired technology and know-how used in R&D with alternative future uses. R&D costs also include costs associated with collaborative R&D and in-licensing arrangements, including upfront fees paid to collaboration partners in connection with technologies which have not reached technological feasibility and did not have an alternative future use. Reimbursement of R&D costs for arrangements with collaboration partners is recognized when the obligations are incurred. Under certain R&D arrangements with third parties, the Company may be required to make payments that are contingent on the achievement of specific development, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. Before a product receives regulatory approval, license fees and milestone payments made to third parties are expensed as incurred. License fees and milestone payments made to third parties after regulatory approval is received are capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the agreement with third parties. (p) Government Grants Government grants received from the PRC government by the PRC operating subsidiaries of the Company are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the amount is receivable and all the conditions specified in the grant have been met. Government grants for R&D are recognized as a reduction to R&D expenses when the expenses are incurred in the same period when the conditions attached to the grants are met, or recognized as government grants recognized in income in the period when the conditions are met after the expenses are incurred. Government grants for property, plant and equipment are deferred and recognized as a reduction to the related depreciation and amortization expenses in the same manner as the property, plant and equipment are depreciated. Interest subsidies are recorded as a reduction to interest and financing expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), or recorded as a reduction to interest capitalized if the subsidies granted are related to a specific borrowing associated with building a qualifying asset. For government loans received at below market interest rate, the difference between the face value of the loan and fair value using the effective interest rate method is recorded as deferred government grants. Accretion expense is recorded in interest and financing expense and the government grant will be recognized as “government grants recognized in income” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) when the government loan is fully repaid. (q) Retirement and Other Post-retirement Benefits Full-time employees of the Company in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the Company makes contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries. The Company has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions. Total amounts for such employee benefits, which were expensed as incurred was $ 6,197 5,473 5,126 (r) Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The Company maintains their accounting records in their functional currencies, U.S. dollars (“US$”) for the Company and Sinovac Hong Kong and Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”) for the PRC subsidiaries. The Company uses the US$ as its reporting currency. At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is re-measured into the functional currency by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At each period end, foreign currency monetary assets, and liabilities are re-measured into the functional currency by using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company recognized foreign exchange gain of $ 1,323 942 865 Assets and liabilities of the PRC subsidiaries, Sinovac Beijing, Sinovac R&D, Sinovac Dalian and Sinovac Biomed are translated into US$ at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Gains and losses from such translations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity. Gain on intra-entity foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term-investment nature was $ 336 (s) Share-based Compensation Compensation expense for costs related to all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, is recognized through a fair-value based method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value for stock options. The Company uses the grant date stock price to determine the grant date fair value of restricted shares. The Company has elected to recognize share-based compensation costs using the straight-line method over the requisite service period with a graded vesting schedule, provided that the amount of compensation costs recognized at any date is at least equal to the portion of the grant date value of the awards that are vested at that date. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. Share based compensation costs are recorded net of estimated forfeitures such that expense is recorded only for those awards that are expected to vest. (t) Comprehensive Income (loss) The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments. (u) Earnings (loss) Per Share Earnings (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260 Earnings per Share (v) Operating Leases Leases are classified as capital and operating depending on the terms and conditions of the lease agreement. Leases that transfer substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to ownership of assets are accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases where rental payments are expensed as incurred. There are no capital leases for the periods presented. (w) Fair Value Measurements Assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements are required to be disclosed within a specified fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs, or assumptions, used in the determination of fair value and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories based on the lowest level input used that is significant to a particular fair value measurement: · Level 1 Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. · Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active. · Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying values of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and short-term bank loans and the current portion of long-term debt approximate their fair value because of their short-term nature. The fair values of long-term bank loans and other debt are estimated based on the discounted value of future contractual cash flows which approximates their carrying value due to the fact they are predominately stated at variable rates based on the People’s Bank of China. Fair value of the long-term bank loans and other debt are determined based on level 2 inputs. The Company measures property, plant and equipment at fair value on a non-recurring basis only if an impairment charge were to be recognized. There were no non-recurring fair value measurements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. (x) Concentration of Risks Exchange Rate Risks The Company operates in China, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the US$ and the RMB. In 2017, foreign exchange gain of $ 1,323 942 865 103,370 673 47,234 328 Currency Convertibility Risks Substantially all of the Company’s operating activities are transacted in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with other information such as suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. Concentration of Credit Risks Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risks consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable, the balances of which are stated on the consolidated balance sheets which represent the Company’s maximum exposure. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in good credit quality financial institutions in Hong Kong and China. Concentration of credit risks with respect to accounts receivables is linked to the concentration of revenue. The Company’s customers are mainly various government agencies in China. For the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, no single customer of the Company accounted for more than 10% of total sales, and one of the Company’s customers accounted for 14% of the Company’s total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015. To manage credit risk, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition. Interest Rate Risks The Company is subject to interest rate risk. Other than loans from a non-controlling shareholder of $ 7,070 (y) Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), where a single, global revenue recognition model applies to most contracts with customers. Revenue will be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled, subject to certain limitations. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, where the effective date of ASU 2014-09 was extended to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued several accounting standard updates such as ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients among others. These ASUs do not change the core principle of the guidance stated in ASU 2014-09, instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within the revenue standard. These ASUs will have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2014-09. The Company will adopt the new standard since January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The Company has completed the assessment and implementation work. Based on the work performed, the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 (“ASU 2016-01”), Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-01 requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. That presentation provides financial statement users with more decision-useful information about an entity’s involvement in financial instruments. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this standard. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this standard. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 (“ASU 2016-18”), Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 requires amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018, and does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible or utilized. The Company considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon an assessment of the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible or can be utilized, the Company provided valuation allowance of $ 9,981 8,469 The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements at end of each reporting period by reviewing all available evidence, both positive and negative, and considering whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. When circumstances cause a change in management’s judgement about the realizability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in income from operations. The future realization of the tax benefit of an existing deductible temporary difference ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carry forward period available under applicable tax law. Tax losses of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries in the amount of $ 25,500 166 will expire from 2018 to 2022 As of December 31, 2017, the Company has not recognized any deferred tax liability on Sinovac Beijing’s undistributed earnings of approximately $ 76,952 5 10 2,812 5,624 For the year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Balance at January 1 1,842 2,027 1,490 Additions for tax positions of the current year 271 183 479 Additions for tax positions of the prior years - - 281 Settlement with the taxing authority - - (107) Lapse of statute of limitations (240) (368) (116) Balance at December 31 $ 1,873 $ 1,842 $ 2,027 The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax expenses.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | 16. Commitments and Contingencies (a) Operating Lease Commitments The Company leases production plant and laboratory under operating leases from its related parties (note 11(b)). Rental expense amounted to $ 793 807 852 2018 $ 427 2019 793 2020 793 2021 793 2022 793 Thereafter 6,381 Total minimum future payments $ 9,980 (b) Other Commitments In addition to commitments disclosed in note 23, commitments related to R&D expenditures are $ 2,158 Commitments related to capital expenditures for the Company’s Sabin inactivated polio vaccine and varicella vaccine production facilities are approximately $ 112 (c) Foreign Corrupt Practice Act Matters The Company may be subject to legal proceedings, investigations and claims relating to the conduct of the Company’s business from time to time. The Beijing People’s Court issued five judgements in 2016 and 2017. These judgments were related to corrupt conduct allegedly engaged in by a former official of the Center for Drug Evaluation in CFDA, his wife and his son. These judgments found that the official and his wife had engaged in a practice of improperly soliciting and accepting payments from various individuals involved in the vaccine products industry. According to the judgments, one of the individuals solicited by the official was Mr. Weidong Yin, the Company’s chairman, president and chief executive officer. It was asserted in the judgments that Mr. Weidong Yin made three payments, and arranged for a loan, to the official and his wife, in the total amount of $77 (RMB 0.6 million) between 2002 and 2011. Mr. Weidong Yin was not charged with any offense or improper conduct and he cooperated as a witness with the procuratorate. To the Company’s knowledge, the Chinese authorities have not commenced any legal proceedings or government inquiries against Mr. Yin. In December 2016, our audit committee authorized the commencement of an internal investigation into the allegations made in the judgements. The audit committee engaged Latham & Watkins as independent counsel to assist with the investigation. In addition, the Company became aware of certain judgments based on bribery charges issued by Chinese courts in four provinces against various officials of the Chinese Center for Disease Control (the “CDC”). While these judgments appear to reflect an industry-wide investigation focused on CDC officials, they also referenced nine of the Company’s former sales persons, together with sales personnel from several other Chinese vaccine companies and distributors. These judgments did not name, and no charges were brought against, the Company or any of its directors or officers as defendants. To the best of our knowledge, the nine referenced employees cooperated with the procuratorate. The procuratorate did not contact the Company for cooperation. Upon becoming aware of these judgments, the audit committee expanded its internal investigation to review matters related to these judgments and the Company’s sales practices and policies, and further engaged Latham & Watkins to continue the independent investigation with the expanded scope. Recently, the Company became aware that one of the nine former sales employees has been convicted for giving bribes. The judgment states that this former sales person took these actions without knowledge of the Company. His criminal penalty was waived by the court. The Company has also learned that another one of the nine former sales employees is currently being investigated by the procuratorate. After the Company publicly announced the internal investigation arising from the allegations in a research report in December 2016, the Company was notified by the SEC in February 2017 of an enforcement inquiry related to the matters discussed in the report, and in April 2017 the Company received a subpoena from the SEC requesting documents. In September 2017, the Company received an inquiry from the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and the Company has been cooperating with the DOJ. The SEC and DOJ have requested information regarding the judgments discussed above, and the Company is cooperating with these requests. Also in February 2017, the Company received an inquiry from NASDAQ related to the same matter. Further, in May 2018, the Company received an inquiry from NASDAQ requesting information related to the actions by Sinobioway and their impact on the Company’s operations and financial reporting. The Company has cooperated with both of these NASDAQ inquiries. The Company takes these matters very seriously and is committed to conducting business in compliance with all applicable laws. However, at this time, the Company is unable to predict, what, if any, action may be taken by NASDAQ, the SEC and the DOJ or any penalties or remedial measures these agencies may seek, but intend to continue to cooperate with these agencies. Any determination that our operations or activities are not in compliance with existing laws or regulations could result in the imposition of fines, civil and criminal penalties, and equitable remedies, including disgorgement or injunctive relief. The Company cannot determine as to whether an ultimate unfavorable outcome is either probably or remote, nor reasonably estimate the amount or range of the potential liability, if any, related to these matters resulting from any proceedings that may be commenced by the SEC or any other governmental authorities. On July 3, 2017, a securities class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company and three of its current and former officers: Mr. Weidong Yin, the Company’s current chief executive officer, Ms. Nan Wang, the Company’s current chief financial officer, and Mr. Danny Chung, the Company’s former chief financial officer. The complaint asserts that statements in the Company’s annual filings for fiscal years 2012 through 2015 were false and misleading because they failed to disclose matters relating to the alleged bribery incidents, among other allegations. On September 6, 2017, the plaintiff has filed the notice of voluntary dismissal. The Court granted the dismissal without prejudice. (d) Other Litigation Matters On July 12, 2017, an alleged shareholder of the Company filed a putative class action complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against the Company, its directors, and certain entities. The complaint alleges that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties by, among other things, entering into a going-private transaction at a price below fair value and failing to take steps to maximize the value of the Company. The complaint also alleges that the Company aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction preventing completion of the going-private transaction, damages (including rescissory damages) in favor of the plaintiff, and the fees and costs associated with the litigation. So far, none of the defendants, including the Company and certain director, have been served. The Company is vigorously defending this lawsuit; however, the Company cannot determine as to whether an ultimate unfavorable outcome is either probably or remote, nor reasonably estimate the amount or range of the potential liability for this case at this stage. On March 5, 2018, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware seeking a determination whether 1Globe, The Chiang Li Family, OrbiMed and other shareholders of the Company had triggered our Rights Plan by forming a group holding approximately 45% of the Company’s outstanding shares, in excess of the plan's threshold of 15%, and acting in concert prior to the 2017 Annual General Election (“the AGM”). Our Rights Plan is intended to promote the fair and equal treatment of all Sinovac shareholders and ensure that no person or group can gain control of Sinovac through undisclosed voting arrangements, open market accumulation or other tactics potentially disadvantaging the interest of all shareholders. On April 12, 2018, 1Globe filed an amended answer to the Company’s complaint, counterclaims, and a third-party complaint against Mr. Weidong Yin alleging, among other allegations, that our Rights Plan is not valid, that Mr. Weidong Yin and the Buyer Consortium had previously triggered our Rights Plan, and that 1Globe did not trigger our Rights Plan. The Company and its board of directors believes that the actions taken by the board of directors were appropriate under the circumstances and that the allegations of the counterclaim and third-party complaint are without merit. 1Globe asks for various measures of equitable relief and also includes a claim for its costs, including attorneys’ fees. This litigation is currently in the pre-trial phase with a decision expected before the end of 2018, subject to appeal. The Company cannot predict whether an ultimate outcome will be favorable or unfavorable, nor estimate the amount or range of potential loss (if any) at this time. On March 5, 2018, the Company also filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for Massachusetts alleging violations of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by 1Globe and The Chiang Li Family. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the defendant shareholders failed to make required disclosures on Schedule 13D regarding their intentions to attempt to replace the Company's board of directors. The Company is vigorously pursuing this lawsuit; however, the Company cannot predict whether an ultimate outcome will be favorable or unfavorable, nor estimate the amount or range of potential loss (if any) at this time. On April 9, 2018, the Company received a document request from SEC requesting all of the Company’s documents concerning 1Globe, the Chiang Li Family, OrbiMed, certain other shareholders, and their affiliates. The Company has been cooperating with the SEC. The Company understands the SEC is investigating whether 1Globe, and possibly other shareholders, violated the U.S. securities laws. The Company does not have any information to suggest the SEC is investigating the actions of the Company or its officers and directors. On March 13, 2018, 1Globe filed a complaint against the Company in the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court in the High Court of Justice, Antigua and Barbuda, or the Antigua Court. The complaint seeks a declaration that the five persons purportedly proposed on its alternative ballot at the 2017 AGM were elected as directors of the Company at that meeting, an order of the Antigua Court that those directors be installed as the Company’s board of directors, and a declaration that any actions taken on behalf of the Company at the direction of the board of directors since the 2017 AGM are null and void. On April 10, 2018, 1Globe filed a notice of application in the Antigua Court seeking an order declaring the result of the disputed election, an urgent order restraining the Company’s board of directors from acting, pending determination of the dispute, including acting to initiate or continue litigation against the Shareholder Group, and other related relief. The Company is vigorously defending this lawsuit; however, the Company cannot predict or estimate an outcome or economic burden for this case at this time. Hearings in this litigation are scheduled for May 9 and 18, 2018. On April 4, 2018, Sinovac Hong Kong filed a complaint against Sinovac Beijing in the Haidian District Court of Beijing. The complaint seeks a declaration that the board resolutions dated February 6, 2018 purporting to appoint Mr. Aihua Pan as the general manager of Sinovac Beijing are invalid. On May 9, 2018, Sinobioway Medicine filed a complaint against Sinovac Beijing in the Haidian District Court of Beijing. The complaint seeks a declaration that the board resolutions passed on February 28, 2018 to appoint Mr. Weidong Yin and other senior management members are invalid. As of the date of this report, both lawsuits are pending and no hearing has been held. The Company cannot predict whether an ultimate outcome will be favorable or unfavorable, nor estimate the amount or range of potential loss (if any) at this time. |

The Restricted Shares are not subject to any restriction on transfer and repurchase after they are vested. 20 the board of directors approved that an additional 30% of the Options to be vested on December 16, 2016, and restrictions of an additional 30% of the Restricted Shares were removed on December 16, 2016. The vesting period, vesting schedule and all other terms for the unvested Options and Restricted Shares remained unchanged. 80 1,145 rate from 7 4 199 (b) Valuation Assumptions The following assumptions were used in determining the fair value of stock options under the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for grants under the 2012 Plan: 2017 2016 2015 Expected volatility - - 51.42 % Risk-free interest rate - - 1.5 % Expected life (years) - - 5.5 Dividend yield - - 0 % Estimated forfeiture rate - - 7 % There was no stock option granted for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2015 was $ 2.37 Expected volatility is estimated based on the Company’s historical stock prices. Computation of expected life was estimated using simplified method for “plain-vanilla” options as the Company considers the options granted to have “plain-vanilla” characteristics. The risk-free interest rates for the period within the contractual life of the awards are based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. Estimated forfeiture rates are determined based on expected future employee behavior. The fair value of restricted shares is based on the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant.

Significant Accounting Polici33
Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2017 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (a) Use of Estimates In preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include: provision for product returns, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory provisions, useful lives of amortizable intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, fair value of options granted and related forfeiture rates, and realizability of deferred tax assets. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in the Company’s business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future activity, the Company’s consolidated financial statements could be materially impacted. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash generally with maturities of three months or less when purchased. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (c) Restricted Cash Restricted cash is cash held as collateral for transactions and a certain loan the Company has entered into. |
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (d) Accounts Receivable The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business and actively pursues past due accounts. The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of the Company’s customers, current economic conditions and other factors that may affect its customers’ ability to pay. |
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (e) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of work in progress and finished goods is determined on a weighted-average cost basis and includes direct material, direct labor and overhead costs. Net realizable value represents the anticipated selling price, net of distribution cost, less estimated costs to completion for work in progress. |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (f) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expenses as incurred. Equipment purchased for specific research and development projects with no alternative uses are expensed. Assets under construction are not depreciated until construction is completed and the assets are ready for their intended use. Gains and losses from the disposal of property, plant and equipment are recorded in gain or loss on disposal and impairment of property, plant and equipment included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Plant and buildings 10 24 Machinery and equipment 8 10 Motor vehicles 4 5 Office equipment and furniture 3 5 Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful lives and term of lease |
Prepaid Land Lease Payments [Policy Text Block] | (g) Prepaid Land Lease Payments Prepaid land lease payments represent amounts paid for the rights to use land in the PRC and is recorded at purchased cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement, which ranges from 28 49 |
Licenses [Policy Text Block] | (h) Licenses The Company capitalizes the patent payment and the purchased cost of vaccines if the vaccine has received a new drug certificate from the China Food and Drug Administration (“CFDA”) of China. If the vaccine has not received a new drug certificate, the purchase cost is expensed as in-process research and development. Licenses in relation to the production and sales of pharmaceutical products are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. Costs incurred to renew or extend the term of licenses are capitalized and amortized over the license’s useful life on a straight-line basis. |
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (i) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets including intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable from the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. An asset group is identified as assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. If the asset group is not fully recoverable, an impairment loss would be recognized for the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its estimated fair value, based on the discounted net future cash flows or other appropriate methods, such as comparable market values. The Company uses estimates and judgments in its impairment tests and if different estimates or judgment had been utilized, the timing or the amount of any impairment charges could be materially different. |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (j) Income Taxes The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the carrying values and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 (“ASU 2015-17”), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, simplifying the presentation of deferred income taxes, where deferred tax liabilities and assets are to be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2017 using the retrospective method. As a result deferred tax assets of $ 3,492 The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such a position are measured based on the amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes a change in available facts after the reporting date but before issuance of the financial statements in the period when the change in facts occur, even if that new information provides a better estimate of the ultimate outcome of an uncertainty. Liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions are classified as long-term unless expected to be paid within one year. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded in the provision for income taxes and classified with the related liability on the consolidated balance sheets. |
Value Added Taxes [Policy Text Block] | (k) Value-added Taxes Value-added taxes (“VAT”) collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis. VAT collected from customers is excluded from revenue. |
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (l) Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, delivery has occurred and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. The Company generally obtains purchase authorizations from its customers for a specified amount of products at a specified price and considers delivery to have occurred when the customer takes title of the products. The Company provides certain customers with a right of return. Revenue for inactivated hepatitis A, combined inactivated hepatitis A&B, seasonal influenza and enterovirus 71 vaccines are recognized when delivery has occurred and the Company can reasonably estimates return provision for these products. The product return provisions for inactivated hepatitis A vaccine and combined inactivated hepatitis A&B vaccine are estimated based on historical return and exchange data as well as the inventory levels and the remaining shelf lives of the products in the distribution channels. The Company started selling enterovirus 71 vaccines in 2016 . of $ 8,074 and $ 5,901 $ 0.10 0.10 As of December 31, 2017, sales return provision for inactivated hepatitis A vaccine, combined inactivated hepatitis A&B vaccine and enterovirus 71 vaccine was $ 4,672 5,039 3.1 10.9 263 533 Revenue for mumps vaccines without a right of return provided to customers is recognized when delivery has occurred. Revenue for mumps vaccines with a right of return provided to customers is recognized when payments are collected from customers. Deferred revenue is generally related to government stockpiling programs and advances received from customers. For government stockpiling programs of H5N1 vaccines, the Company generally obtains purchase authorizations from the government for a specified amount of products at a specified price and no rights of return are provided. Revenue is recognized when the government takes delivery of the products. If the products expire prior to delivery, these expired products are recognized as revenue once cash is received and the products have expired and passed government inspection. |
Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (m) Shipping and Handling Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in sales. Costs related to shipping and handling are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). For the year ended December 31, 2017, $ 5,759 1,654 1,389 |
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (n) Advertising Expenses Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising costs were $ 4,007 3,336 2,777 |
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (o) Research and Development Research and development ("R&D") costs are expensed as incurred and are disclosed as a separate line item in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). R&D costs consist primarily of the remuneration of R&D staff, depreciation, material, clinical trial costs as well as amortization of acquired technology and know-how used in R&D with alternative future uses. R&D costs also include costs associated with collaborative R&D and in-licensing arrangements, including upfront fees paid to collaboration partners in connection with technologies which have not reached technological feasibility and did not have an alternative future use. Reimbursement of R&D costs for arrangements with collaboration partners is recognized when the obligations are incurred. Under certain R&D arrangements with third parties, the Company may be required to make payments that are contingent on the achievement of specific development, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. Before a product receives regulatory approval, license fees and milestone payments made to third parties are expensed as incurred. License fees and milestone payments made to third parties after regulatory approval is received are capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the agreement with third parties. |
Government Contractors, Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (p) Government Grants Government grants received from the PRC government by the PRC operating subsidiaries of the Company are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the amount is receivable and all the conditions specified in the grant have been met. Government grants for R&D are recognized as a reduction to R&D expenses when the expenses are incurred in the same period when the conditions attached to the grants are met, or recognized as government grants recognized in income in the period when the conditions are met after the expenses are incurred. Government grants for property, plant and equipment are deferred and recognized as a reduction to the related depreciation and amortization expenses in the same manner as the property, plant and equipment are depreciated. Interest subsidies are recorded as a reduction to interest and financing expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), or recorded as a reduction to interest capitalized if the subsidies granted are related to a specific borrowing associated with building a qualifying asset. For government loans received at below market interest rate, the difference between the face value of the loan and fair value using the effective interest rate method is recorded as deferred government grants. Accretion expense is recorded in interest and financing expense and the government grant will be recognized as “government grants recognized in income” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) when the government loan is fully repaid. |
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Nonpension Benefits, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (q) Retirement and Other Post-retirement Benefits Full-time employees of the Company in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the Company makes contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries. The Company has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions. Total amounts for such employee benefits, which were expensed as incurred was $ 6,197 5,473 5,126 |
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block] | (r) Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The Company maintains their accounting records in their functional currencies, U.S. dollars (“US$”) for the Company and Sinovac Hong Kong and Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”) for the PRC subsidiaries. The Company uses the US$ as its reporting currency. At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is re-measured into the functional currency by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At each period end, foreign currency monetary assets, and liabilities are re-measured into the functional currency by using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company recognized foreign exchange gain of $ 1,323 942 865 Assets and liabilities of the PRC subsidiaries, Sinovac Beijing, Sinovac R&D, Sinovac Dalian and Sinovac Biomed are translated into US$ at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Gains and losses from such translations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity. Gain on intra-entity foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term-investment nature was $ 336 |
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | (s) Share-based Compensation Compensation expense for costs related to all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, is recognized through a fair-value based method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value for stock options. The Company uses the grant date stock price to determine the grant date fair value of restricted shares. The Company has elected to recognize share-based compensation costs using the straight-line method over the requisite service period with a graded vesting schedule, provided that the amount of compensation costs recognized at any date is at least equal to the portion of the grant date value of the awards that are vested at that date. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. Share based compensation costs are recorded net of estimated forfeitures such that expense is recorded only for those awards that are expected to vest. |
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (t) Comprehensive Income (loss) The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments. |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (u) Earnings (loss) Per Share Earnings (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260 Earnings per Share |
Lessor, Leases [Policy Text Block] | (v) Operating Leases Leases are classified as capital and operating depending on the terms and conditions of the lease agreement. Leases that transfer substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to ownership of assets are accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases where rental payments are expensed as incurred. There are no capital leases for the periods presented. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (w) Fair Value Measurements Assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements are required to be disclosed within a specified fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs, or assumptions, used in the determination of fair value and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories based on the lowest level input used that is significant to a particular fair value measurement: · Level 1 Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. · Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active. · Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying values of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and short-term bank loans and the current portion of long-term debt approximate their fair value because of their short-term nature. The fair values of long-term bank loans and other debt are estimated based on the discounted value of future contractual cash flows which approximates their carrying value due to the fact they are predominately stated at variable rates based on the People’s Bank of China. Fair value of the long-term bank loans and other debt are determined based on level 2 inputs. The Company measures property, plant and equipment at fair value on a non-recurring basis only if an impairment charge were to be recognized. There were no non-recurring fair value measurements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. |
Concentration Risk Exchange Rate Risk [Policy Text Block] | (x) Concentration of Risks Exchange Rate Risks The Company operates in China, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the US$ and the RMB. In 2017, foreign exchange gain of $ 1,323 942 865 103,370 673 47,234 328 Currency Convertibility Risks Substantially all of the Company’s operating activities are transacted in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with other information such as suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. Concentration of Credit Risks Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risks consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable, the balances of which are stated on the consolidated balance sheets which represent the Company’s maximum exposure. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in good credit quality financial institutions in Hong Kong and China. Concentration of credit risks with respect to accounts receivables is linked to the concentration of revenue. The Company’s customers are mainly various government agencies in China. For the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, no single customer of the Company accounted for more than 10% of total sales, and one of the Company’s customers accounted for 14% of the Company’s total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (y) Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), where a single, global revenue recognition model applies to most contracts with customers. Revenue will be recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled, subject to certain limitations. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, where the effective date of ASU 2014-09 was extended to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued several accounting standard updates such as ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients among others. These ASUs do not change the core principle of the guidance stated in ASU 2014-09, instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within the revenue standard. These ASUs will have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2014-09. The Company will adopt the new standard since January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The Company has completed the assessment and implementation work. Based on the work performed, the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 (“ASU 2016-01”), Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-01 requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. That presentation provides financial statement users with more decision-useful information about an entity’s involvement in financial instruments. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this standard. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this standard. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 (“ASU 2016-18”), Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 requires amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018, and does not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
